The scarring is the hardest part I think. Like yeah I’ll go through this pain and perceived ugliness of a big juicy pimple, but then no, wait… I’m gonna remind you that I was here, I’m never gonna completely go away and I’m gonna make it even hard to love yourself. These things that make us human are frustrating, I swear.
I have an old large scar that is officially 20 years old. I’ve had this scar longer than I’ve been an adult at this point. I can’t really do anything to cover it besides clothing but that’s not always possible, especially in the hot weather. It’s embarrassing and tells a story that I don’t want to share with the world.
Ugh I hate my acne scars 😭 I was thinking I might as well just use foundation on those areas but… I’m a guy and you know how society is 😞
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret try maybe going for a powder one perhaps honestly don’t care what people say but if it really bothers u aim for more unnoticeable brands and types and u don’t have to tell anyone trust me just do whatever makes you feel best!

imagine having hormone acne, white heads, black heads, scars and hyperpigmentation at the same time
ME LOL - also post-inflammatory erythema & sensitive skin (it is, as you can imagine, a very confusing circumstance)
literally me
I don't have to imagine 🥲
That's me
*meeee* 😩
Every now and then I get reminders that Cassandra is such an angel. Like when she includes those who maybe doesn’t have money enough to go see an dermatologist or get a prescribed medication the regular way. And that’s one of the many reasons why I love this woman a little bit extra. That’s one of the reasons that she’s my favourite person on RUclips.
Timestamps
Hormonal acne : 0:45 - 2:25
White heads/black heads : 2:25 - 6:30
Fungal acne : 6:30 - 8:28
Over pigmentation : 8:28 - ...
I love how you don’t use crazy amounts of filters, you keep us grounded and realistic but I think your skin is beautiful because it looks so pretty and clear but it also has realistic texture
What I really like about Cassandra is when she suggest products that are inexpensive, and that most of the time works even better than expensive brands.. Also, I was discouraged watching vloggers in the past who talks about skin care routine because of how expensive their products are and sometimes they use sponsored products for their content. Unlike Cassandra who explains the science behind it and have a very strong stand with the products that she likes and don’t like (no matter who endorses it).
I really feel that she wants to share her knowledge to her fans and other people who might need it. I got into skin care because of her ♥️ I just saw her video randomly on Facebook and I knew she was the one.
Thanks Cassandra for your videos! This particular one is one of my fave 💜💜💜
I developed hormonal acne at 23. I am 27 now, and am now only starting to see visible differences. Trial and errors throughout the years. But this channel has changed my life (or face, in this case)😄. I know my BHA's and AHA's so well now, that I feel extremely confident to advise others😂♥️
What are you using?
I am 23 now and I suddenly got hormonal acne and I've stopped seeing my friends 🥴🥴 I look TERRIBLE
@@Red-le3cq I'm 24 and I also suddenly had hormonal acne out of nowhere. I have to keep my face mask on all the time because I'm too embarrassed to show my jawline full of scars and acne
Special request for the topic of BACK-Acne ?
Although we can take many pointers here and apply it to body acne :(
Panoxyl works wonders just be consistent! Also, try a different shampoo if you’re breaking out on your back. Or, you can wash your hair first then use the panoxyl. Make sure you let it sit and do it’s thing!
Great topic!
she already posted a video about her body acne routine!
Might be acne vulgaris. Antibiotics, antibacterial wash and you can get cream to apply after.
Cerave sa cleanser worked fantastic for me
This came at a perfect time! I’m 53 and I still have some hormonal acne around my jawline, and didn’t understand why Paulas BHA wasn’t doing such a great job. Last night I was thinking that I need to get some of my usual benzoyl peroxide gel because I found that it’s the only product that gets rid of it. I had nooooo idea why, but thanks to you Cassandra now I understand! You’re amazing, the information in your videos are on point and so much fun to watch. Cheers!
try azelaic acid and niacin with zinc
I still do not know why AHAs is such an unnderdog when it comes to acne treatment. Glycolic, even lactic acid help a lot improving all of my skin concerns.
Yesss. And it's so gentle too. I love it.
For me aha was not so effective as bha. I have dry skin with some random acne
I don’t like them on my whole face but lactic acid is such a nice spot treatment :)
i don’t know when to use AHAs & BHAs since i use benzoyl in my skincare so it all just confuses me bc you can’t use benzoyl with BHAs.. i forget if you can with AHAs.
@@_sunchildd i used to incorporate them in my skincare routine a few months ago before i started using Adapalene and prescription-strength Azelaic Acid. If you want to use both, then use Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser in the morning and AHA/BHA at night. If you use a Benzoyl Peroxide leave-on, which can be super irritating, then use it at night, and use BHA in the morning - i don't recommend using AHA in the morning because it makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
I would love to hear about treatments for acne scars!
Yeah there's so many different types of lasers. I'd like a video on this too.
Cassandra, I would love it if you did a video about diet and acne - what food can trigger breakouts in some people etc ❤️ Sending love all the way from the U.K.!
skincare youtube helped me get rid of my acne more than a dermatologist did when i was a teennager so shout out to all of yall for that
I’ve been struggling with whiteheads and small bumps for the longest time and nobody has been able to give me an answer - I use salycilic acid washes, spot stickers, AHA/BHA exfoliators, glycolic acid, retinol, and nothing works!! I’ll definitely be going down to the pharmacy tomorrow to pick up a benzoyl peroxide wash thank you! ❤️❤️
Love the terminator 10 from acnefree, the calming ingredients are what made me choose it over the zapzyt one and I’m thankful I went with it
You are beautiful even with acne. I have lots of acne scars all over my face. I am learning to live with it, but sometimes want to cry. I found Azelaic Acid is gentle for sensitive skin with acne.
Would love a video about Laser, such as Fraxel. Dealing with Hyperpigmentation and Melasma and nothing really helps although being very strict on treatments and SPF :-(
Check Dr. Anil Rajani. He has videos on fraxel. Dr Davin Lim has some though they're probably older than a year.
Watch Dr Yusra IG stories
Cassandra's looking so BE-YOU-TIFUL 😍🦋
I have nodular acne and scarring across my face and doctor tells me to use acnecide and does great job at fixing them 😊
SILICONE on scars. silicone strips + gels. some of the most well studied for scars. you can get it from the drugstore-it’s a bit pricey but it does work so well!!
Thanks cyster, I'm so frustrated after having acne forever (PCOS), and feel like I've tried everything. Next step I want to try tretinoin
Hi, I feel your struggle that’s why I wanted to chime in. I’m 22 and have had hormonal acne the second I started having my periods due to PCOS. I have tried diane 35, aldactone, antibiotics, etc. While oral antibiotics worked, it was never a long-term cure for me. I did my research and started my tretinoin journey (0.05) 4 months ago. I use it with benzoyl peroxide now that my skin is used to it but let me tell you it was the best decision I’ve made in regards to my skin. The first 3 months are tough as the tretinoin purge is a real bitch but it is so worth it. I recommend checking the tretinoin subreddit on reddit, they put together an in-depth document that has all the info you need.
@@slailklc632 thankyou so much for sharing :)
Have you tried differin yet? Tretinoin I was using didn’t help me bc it has pore clogging ingredients to make up for being drying. But I switched to differin & saw results within the first week. Even tho that’s not supposed to be possible...
Birth control helped me a lot
@Anya Louise It works differently for different people. You might not be able to handle it but some others could. Don’t tell people to never try it because tretinoin has helped a lot for many people
Thank hu Cassandra! You’ve become my go-to skin care sista for a long time and I just really appreciate you 🙏🏻 you think about low income and high income people. And you make everything about skincare make sense!! I’ve struggled with fungal “acne” hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation since I was 12 and now I’m 21 :( I’m going to try these out soon. Thank you!!
Just discovered your channel but already learnt so much *.* benzoyl peroxide was god sent for me, cleared my skin 99% but after 4 months of use i developed an allergic reaction to it so i had to drop it :'( also i must have lived under a rock but never heard from retinoids in acne treatment, thanks for the enlightening informations :)
How many times a week did you use Benzoyl peroxide ?
@@1VanesaHernandez for 2 months everyday at night (as the instructions advised it) and after my skin got better i used it 2-3 times a week for prevention. But everyone's skin tolarance is different, my friend never had an issue with it. It is good to be careful and alert to your skin's reactions, and change things if needed.
MAby because u kept using it every night unnecessarily remember to add hydrating products cause that’s what my problem was but I’m fine now and still use bp
This is so helpful cassandra, I am currently having a hard time with a flore up of cystic acne, my face was fine 2 days ago and now is terrible i have like 5 big red acne spots and they hurt so bad :(
Thank u so much for what you do ❤️
I have rosacea and hormonal Acne. I can't look in the mirror without crying. I no longer leave my house unless I have to. I'm so scared of people looking at me that I don't even have the courage to go to the dermatologist anymore. Which definitely isn't helping, I know. This channel gives me so much hope and strength to keep pushing and not lose hope. That my live doesn't have to be over just because I don't have "perfect" skin. That I'm still beautiful and worthy of love. Thank you for making these videos. You seriously have probably saved a life.
Some derms aren't great. I encourage you to seek another. Rosacea is a medical skin condition and i know it can get to intolerable extremes. It is covered by insurance and they can get it under control. Please dont give up, theres hope and help❤❤❤
Your so worthy and beautiful,hoping all the best for u xx
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. I used to have hormonal acne and blackheads during all of my high-school years. Now I’m still battling with those nasty blackheads and I recently bought many of the products you name here from inkeylist. I’m hoping in a month or two my skin will look better 🙏 but it feels good knowing that you approve of these products ❤️ Sending you lots of love!
Hii sister , had you get rid of blackheads now ?? Plz suggest I have too many nasty blackheads on my nose .
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a scar specific video. I have struggled with severe adult cystic acne for probably about 10 years. The only thing I have found that works is laser treatments. i finally finished a year long “treatment” (if you will) that was a mix of IPL to help tame everything and then micro needling with PRP. But I don’t know if what I’m doing is right. It just seems to be right… now..? I have done laser resurfacing to help with scars but basically… my face is a mess. ANY help is appreciated. I’m so glad I found your channel. I look forward to your videos. Thank you.
This was great, thank you! I would also LOVE to hear your take on microneedling , I am looking to try it in the future to reduce the appearance of my acne scars. Thanks so much!
I'm on Tazorac and it's been an absolute miracle for my skin. Thankfully it's been tolerable for me as well and I've had minimal irritation, but I did build up from adapalene to tretinoin to now tazorac. it's been the only acne medication that has completely reduced my cystic breakouts. I'm in love with it!
Spiro changed my life, I wish I had found it a decade ago. It also saved me from my oily skin.
But you have to take it forever then, if you stop the oiliness returns. Problem is we cant have that forever, it´s not good for your body.
YES to lasers and procedures for acne scars, hyperpigmentation and such. Thanks for another great vid Cassandra! Love from London, UK xx
I'm all in on treating acne scars, so I can't wait for your next video!
I suffer from dermatillomania, so I touch my face frequently which just leads me to more acne and more scarring. I really appreciate this video and would love to learn more about treating scarring.
Could you team up with an obgyn to do a video on pregnancy acne and how to safely treat it?
In the meantime, here are some videos: dr dray - best pregnancy safe acne products; the budget dermatologist - your safe pregnancy skincare routine + acne hacks; dr davin lim - acne during pregnancy - how to safely treat; dr. jenny liu - dermatologist review: acne treatment during pregnancy and lactation; dr. melanie palm - how to treat female acne during pregnancy
omg you are the best educatorrrrrrr everrrrrrrrrrrr about skincare and acne, i frickinn love you cass 🦋 i always wanted to try PTR sulfur mask and dermalogica fizz mask since they got your approval i HAVE TO try them nowwwwww
Recently (3 years ago) I found out that I have an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) that's called Graves' disease. Since theroid hormones affect many body systems and I usually have cysts (not many) on my face, I think this is another reason that causes acne. But I cannot be sure if I don't visit a dermatologist. I'm just supposing that this is the cause and I wonder why not people (that know) are not mention this as an important factor of hormonal acne.
p.s. I really admire you girl!
For my acne problems, I always use Monsia products, which dry and clear them up without leaving blemishes on the skin 😚
I have scars on my face from OCD self harming. I don't know if there is a lot of info out there on how to get rid of these scars or if it is the same process as for acne scars. Would love a video on that kind of thing. I have trouble finding resources because I know there are different scar types
This was a great video! I liked how you explained the science behind it. I would love a video about the acne scar treatments, I currently have active acne and acne scars, and I'm considering to have microneedling done once my acne has calmed down.
Hi Cassandra! Can you cover Spironolactone alone? The possible side effects? Positives and negatives. Nothing really works for me and I'm about to give up with my acne battle and use Accutane :(( I'd like to try this one first before I go to the Accutane path.
Susan Yara had Dr. Sam Ellis on her channel a few weeks ago - they did an entire video solely on Spironolactone! Dr. Dray also has a video on it.
Not her but, spironolactone has saved me. It took about 4 months to start working but now I rarely ever break out!! It is my holy grail for my hormonal acne
she already did that
@@KaiiiYuh how long have you been taking it now, I'm six weeks in
@@mykahwilliams7553 about 6 months now :)
Thank you for sharing with us this information you didn't have when you needed. This speaks volumes
Girl. You are the reason my two year acne fiasco has stopped .
Diet
Sleep along with skincare helps a lot
i love this! i currently have really bad hormonal acne that i can’t figure out how to get rid of. i’ve been researching & from all the videos i’ve watched so far this is the one with the best explanation.
I just wanted to say, ive literally been binge watching your videos learning about my skin the right way and aeeing your journey. I balled my eyes out watching you react to your own video from 10 years ago and the way your insecurities reflected on your physical behavior and speach. I couldnt relate more. Thank you so much for everything your doing. Found out every product i was using was just making it worse. I pitched everything toxic and am omw to find a product that will help without damaging my natural barriers. 🕉🙏 thank you❤
I was just diagnosed with PCOS and I have acne on my neck and I didn’t understand why I couldn’t get rid of it! Thank you so much 🥺
Edit: I just read an article that there are new studies that Spironolacton works well for teenagers but not adults. Do you know how valide that is and if yes if there is an alternative ? Thank you!
I have a friend who’s 35 and has cleared her acne completely on spiro. Obviously that’s just one anecdote, but maybe useful info ✏️
read up on DIM (and Calcium-DG). curbs high estrogen. some gyns recommend it luckily, others just throw bcp at your for PCOS. (ALA in extremely low doses could be good, depending on what causes high estrogen.)
@@bomsnose estrogen is a big one to pay attention to when trying to heal hormonal acne. thanks for mentioning it.
@@eleiaaa it's quite hard to find an endocrinologist (or dermatologist or gyn) to takes this seriously, and not just throw irrelevant drugs at you, so... good luck!!
@@TMSreptiles oral or tropical
Please do a video on acne scar treatment!! I would love that. Thank you for the great video !!!
I love that you do this! Thank you so much for everything! It's so awesome to have someone out here, talking about the not so beautiful part of skin care. I use curology now, I've been using it for about 6 months or so and my skin has never looked better! As long as i follow my routine and not get lazy and skip a wash, my face stays so clear and I've seen a difference in my blackheads and hyperpigmentation!
Finally a science class thats interesting!! Where was this back in High School?
My favorite soap was SAL3, it was salicylic acid & sulfur. Ive had skin issues since I was a preteen, not so much white heads, but black heads.
sal3 was the only thing that ever helped me fully eradicate them from my skin. Then idk what happened but the brand disappeared... thankfully, by that time I also found niacinamide ❤️
This is so helpful for me and my teens. Your timing is perfect
I struggle with whiteheads only basically but only by cheeks and it has scarred a bit and pigmented and gotten red but it only started like September of last year and I don't get it I was perfectly fine maybe a pimple or 2 ever like 3 weeks I wouldn't even have a routine or anything but I see pictures from on my snap from a year ago and it just gets to me sometimes because I don't know what I could be doing wrong but I will start using a benzoyl wash instead so thank you for the recommendations :)
I wish that everybody reading this comment can clear their skin🥰✨🙏🏻❤️
To me tea tree has helped a lot for my breakouts
I like that you're talking fast
Id love a vid on how to help with scarring... i have some rolling and ice pick scars from when i use to pick at my blemishes 🤦♀️😣 and i just dont know how to minimize them...
My cheeks look like orange skin. 😭
Do a search, dr acne scars. There are a number of videos.
@@db-gb5xi thanks! ❤️
Always magnificently in-depth as always, Cassandra. 💕
I would really like to know your thoughts on Eucerin, especially for acne
I've been getting these really painful cysts that are deep underneath the skin and leaves awful scars every time my period comes, and I don't know what to do about it :( I'm going to try the ordinary products and the Paulas Choice BHA, but should I use the BHA every day or just around the time when my skin flares up?
i think first try it every 2 days or so, don't skip spf and see how well your skin tolerates it.
for people who consistently need to keep things under control on their whole face or a large part of it, it could be more beneficial to use it every night or every other night, whereas for someone who has only flares-up at certain areas or few spots here and there, or for someone who does not tolerate bha's well, using it as a spot treatment only when there is a problem without irritating the clear areas of the face could be wiser.
and please don't buy several actives at once, try one for a few weeks and then if it doesn't work change it, or add another one for another problem, etc. just adding this because you said i'll try the ordinary and the paula's bha. I think only buying one of them at a time will save you money and you'll be sure what works and what doesn't for you. finally, if you think it really is related to your period coming, common actives may not work (or not in the long term) and the best bet is seeing a derm before irritating your skin with random stuff, bc hormonal acne is usually treated with prescription actives, like Spironolactone, which works wonders for hormonal acne sufferers. sorry if I over-explained myself and if you already know these, I just wanna make sure I'm clear because I burned my skin several times when I followed "use this!" kind of brief advice from people.
I get those too! The scars take months to go away :(
I use to get a lot on my jawline, but now I get maybe two. I started using jojoba oil and tea tree oil at night. For my entire face i cleanse it with micellar water, and use Ordinary niacinamide, after that dries I put jojoba oil on my entire face, and use tea tree oil on the big cysts by the morning its not as big .. doesnt go away completely over night but it makes a difference. I dont even have to pop them anymore because i know within two days it'll go away.
Thank you so much Cassandra! I've been struggling with acne for the last seven years and this was really helpful.
thank you. you really don't know how much you help us.
As a POC who gets hyperpigmentation the ordinary alpha arbutin did nothing for me! I reccomend their azelaic acid though it's so good for treating acne, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation
Is inflamed white heads the same as white small bumps underneath the skin? I have both. Some just stay under my skin, making my skin appear a bit uneven and sometimes they break out. It’s not a massive problem for me, but it is really annoying that they keep coming back. Would something like beta hydroxy acid work for those?
Yesss I get these too! For me, glycolic acid and niacinamide have been really helpful
Same here ! With hyper pigmentation these are my two concerns
I was reading the white bumps under the skin are trapped keratin(so like trapped protein and its called Milia) and washing, exfoliator, not using heavy creams will help. I have the same issue and always wondered!
Could be closed comedones aka clogged or congested pores… I had like ten of those, & they turn into these huge inflamed angry under the skin pimples when I try to squeeze them out, so I stopped trying to remove them. I believe certain acids can get them out, but I’m still trying the aha/bha peel to see if it can get them out. I read online that it might be necessary to see a professional to remove/extract them manually. You might also want to try to identify any products that you’re using that could be contributing to clogging your pores as well.
Id love a video about minimizing pores
I totally ......would love more bout acne scars, acne scars and acne scars ಥ‿ಥ
Ketoconosole for fungal acne... it works a lot better. Completely clear skin now.
thank you so much !! this video helped me a lot!! i came to know what the real problem was!!
I actually don’t think “fungal acne” is rare but under diagnosed. My deem refused to acknowledge I had it when I suspected it actually two of them did, so I payed privately to have it tested and yeah I do have it.
Amazing video! I work in family medicine and this was very accurate info and very helpful for the non-medical people as well. Thank you!
hey! Do you think you could make a video on dermatillomania, and how what ingredients and stuff to use for the scars it causes ? thank you!
Hi Cassandra, thank you for another great video!
Thank you so much I keep discovering thanks to you. Fighting against acne can be over welming but your teachings have helped me understand skin care.
*Just sharing some of my knowledge*
BHA options include Salicylic Acid (SA), Betaine Salicylate (BS), Lipohydroxy Acid (LHA).
The reason “regular” salicylic acid is commonly referred to as the _”only BHA used in skincare”_ is because BS is pretty exclusive to EastAsian skincare and not typically used in western countries.
LHA was developed by L'Oreal which owns the patent on the ingredient so a very limited number of products contain this BHA.
Some things that helped my hormonal breakouts.... Knours one perfect youth cream... Some by mi aha bha pha killz spot treatment... Sunday Riley Saturn sulfer spot treatment (for the tiny bumps left behind)... Cosrx bha liquid used used 1-2x wk... First aid beauty aha radiance pads used 1x wk ... Retinol from Cosrx, nuetrogena, beauty by joseon ... Last is shisheido ultamune serum it's expensive but works for me used a.m every other day
Im a dermatologist, and i have miracle acne cream on my profile. 🙂
Thank you for this video, I've been diagnosed with pcos 😭 so I definitely have hormonal acne
Paulas Choice has a 4% SA toner w/antioxidants and a 9% SA serum(mostly use as a spot tx for the really rude ones because its a lil pricey) and I LOVE them both. Recommend!! ❤
Hi Cassandra, can I mix 5% Urea repair cream with peptides or niacinamide serum?
It should be fine. Urea at 5% is mainly a moisturizer.
Yes Cassandra well done 👍🏼
We would love you to make a video about actual skin treatments 🙏🏼
I'm ultra oily and I have blackheads everywhere, my entire face, my neck, chest, shoulders (used to have terrible body acne in my teens too, so covered in scars as well). The only time my skin was smooth and blackheads free was when I went to vacations and I spent a week in a super chlorinated pool and salty ocean, it dried me out so bad but I was mirror smooth. Most product over the counter is just not strong enough to clear my pores. Like Paula's choice? it's just water for me, it did absolutely nothing.
But you know what? Now that I'm 33, I meet a lot of my friends with drier skin and I can tell my oily mess of a face keeps the wrinkles at bay so I'm ok with that.
Thank u so much for this video Cassandra. I'll be 44 next month n I still have acne n I feel like I've tried everything but accutane😤😔 I have Rosacea & very sensitive skin so I can't tolerate a lot of acids or retinal. Definitely going to try some of these. Xoxo❤️✌🏼️
This video has been extremely helpful and I needed this right now. Thank you for being helpful and knowledgeable about these skin issues.
Yes please share some more about micro needling and laser!😊 I’m curious if any of these are helpful for scars and skin thinning after being prescribed prednisone!
I have pimples blemishes and tons of acne scars, it sucks ass I tell you. I clear up for years then acne comes back out of no where mostly in winter so I moisturize lots. But I didn't know this for a long time so its kinda helping finally.
Today marks the 1 year anniversary of me using benzoyl peroxide and it was all thanks to this video that I learned all about them. I took photos of when I started and oh my Lord, the difference is just unreal. I still have 2 large acne spots that still havent fully faded (but have drastically lightened and smoothened) but you would never know that exactly a year ago I was struggling with severe acne and red bumps all over my face. I am forever grateful to cassandra for introducing me this wonderful product. 💖💖💖💖💖
Hello...What do you use please?
@@DorcasBONGHE Terminator10 from AcneFree. Once a day, at night time after washing my face. I let it sit on the active zits and acne prone areas for 15mins before I apply my usual night time moisturizer. For day time, I use a salicylic acid face wash but for night time I use a gentle, for sensitive skin cleanser so it doesn't irritate my skin as Terminator10 can feel quite harsh and drying especially when you are using it for the first time.
I would love to see some treatment options! And are the at home versions of these medical treatments worth it?
Thank you! I’d love a video on high frequency! Labor of love your channel is, I appreciate ya!
If only I would have found a video like this 15 years ago. My life would have been so much happier and easier in my teenage years😅 But still thanks, great video
Omg please make a video on acne treatments, I wanna know everything, love u
Could you consider covering loose skin after weight loss? I want to use products that will help support healthy elasticity to minimize it and help it bounce back from the trauma that stretching caused.
Looking forward for u to discuss laser treatments.I suffered from acne prone oily skin and still nowadays a bit better because of your guidance Among Dr.Dray and Dr.Davin Lim it had helped a lot all your contributions in making skincare informations in educating us and making it accessible for me was a huge help.Pls.introduce us to laser treatments as I'm also thinking to have it the future.Much love from Dubai!!! I hated my my skin most of the time the insecurities from one zit to another, blemishes after oily skin and flare ups but I remind myself its better now and I'm not alone on this.
Sebaceous filaments. I've tried everything to get rid of them, nothing works. Has anyone used the hylamide pore flush?
I have it and l, although it smells wonderful, I don't know if it actually helps me.
That thumbnail looks like my nose so I clicked on this video instantly. Thank you, I will consider trying out some of these!
I have sabaceaous filaments (and small blackheads ) since I was 12 and they are very prominent. What helped me was the Cosxr blackhead liquid (2% BHA ) and moisturizing and massaging my skin with Gokujyun hydrating lotion ( hyaluronic acid) and jojoba or rosehip seed oil. And eating less sugar and quitting dairy
Note that I had to be consistent and patient with my routine which was probably the hardest lol
And they are still there, I don't think I'll ever get rid of them but as long as they're not that noticeable I'm fine with it ♡
Please do a video on scar treatments like laser or micro needling. I had acne for over 10 years which left me with a lot of boxed and rolling scars.
I had clear skin most of my life but after having my 2nd child (daughter) I started breaking out around my mouth and it started to spread to my cheeks. I tried a lot of products and the dermatologist gave me different treatments but nothing worked until I used MURAD. This saved me and all my skin cleared after using it and it never came back. I love Murad and recommend this to all my friends including my children.
Thank you! I have been wanting to try out Paula's Choice for such a long time but didn't want to chance it because of the price. But I'm so glad that you've approved it! 😁 hoping it works for me!
Proactiv got rid of my acne but also around the same time when i was 26 i found out those round plaques i had in my hands were roundworm (caught from stray cats probably as a kid. Yeah, i probably had that for 15 years. Neglectful parents never did anything.) I was prescribed Lamasil (Terbinafine) for 3 months, a powerful antifungal. My skin cleared up perfectly and i never got bad acne again after that.
All I wanted to know in one video. THANK YOU🦋
Just a question as I can’t find the answer anywhere: “I have Rosacea, and contemplating on getting laser treatment for it, BUT I have face tattoos that I don’t won’t to ruin. Will the laser also go deep enough to push the ink further down?” I have had micro needling back in 2017, but that was before I got my tattoos (2019-2020). I’m also thinking of getting a facial hair remover, but that’s also a laser, so same question…? Since it kills the hair sack/follicle, will it go deep enough to ruin the ink/tattoo?!
i’m pretty sure any kind of laser would mess up your tattoos even if it doesn’t remove them completely :( even at home hair removal devices like IPL guns can do it and my derm also told me not to get laser hair removal over tattoos
Why do I get white heads when I use a new product, started using Maelove retinol stargazer lowest retinol, I stopped using because in the morning I would have a few whiteheads, I only used 4 times. Also my pores get clogged / congested on sides of face, jawline, behind ears, not all the time if I eat my homemade sweet treats, seams to contributing to whiteheads to. I'm 58, when I wash my face it is flaky, I use water and washcloth, marula oil that's it. Thank you 🌸
Awesome as always 🦋 Yes! Please do one on scars!
Cassandra you are the best! Thank you ❣️
