I have super oily and acne prone skin but I still prefer oil or balm cleanser over micellar water. I don't think it ever had a negative impact on my skin, as long as I use unscented, gentle and soothing products, and of course avoid anything with coconut oil. I hate the feeling of rubbing a cotton pad on my face, it's irritating, while an oil/balm is just so pleasant to use.
i've been following your videos for a while and just wanted to say how thankful i am for all the information you provide, there's not so many reliable sources on skincare and specially not so many people that talk about acne the way you do it, always keeping in mind that educational and scientific aspect. The work you do is beyond appreciated, i've learn more from you than any of the derms i've ever visited. thank you so much
I have been doing this process for months & I really feel validated watching this video! I’ve been using the Aromatica Cleansing Water with the IUNIK Cleansing Foam & I have been loving that combo! Learning this new info makes me sooo happy! Thank you for this amazing video, Cass! We 💜 you!!!
I think the key to successful oil cleanser usage experience is to choose non-comedogenic one. As obvious as it sounds. It's usually a little bit more expensive than the usual ones, but the result is worth it. I use Medi-peel cleansing oil before regular foam cleanser and I like how it never dries out my skin, the face is always really soft and hydrated after it, never squeaky clean
I transfer my micellar water in a foaming bottle (same as were the foaming cleanser comes) and makes it into a foam with which I clean my face. Love this method to use my micellar water as a first step when I'm only using sunscreen. For make up I do use an oil.
I use a double and a half cleanse. I use a Japanese oil cleanser, use a round soaked with micellar water to get EVERYTHING off and then follow up with Cerave’s foaming facial cleanser. That has really blasted any adult acne and helped my rosacea as well. I don’t have to scrub like crazy and can soak, set and swipe like you mention
On days I‘m wearing make up, I use a micellar water to remove my mascara, then I use the oat cleansing balm from inkey and as the final step I use a very simple and affordable water based cleanser from the drugstore, that one also has salicylic acid to help with the blackheads around my nose 😊 Send u lots of hugs and kisses from Austria 🇦🇹💕💕
🖤🥔 Yes bb I love this video! Not only informative, but now I’ll always think of break outs as bacteria farts and poops 😂😂I love using micellar water, especially when my skin feels more congested and oily (hey hormones!) and when I’m feeling really lazy! I picked up the banilla micellar water from tj maxx during the summer. It’s got witch hazel, cherry and bamboo in it. I’m really enjoying it too.
As someone who wears eye makeup daily, and is beyond oily; I find a micellar water as a step one to a double cleanse really does just as great of a job as an oil cleanse, but without the slippy leftovers. 🥰
I used to be one of those who was terrified of moisturizers and hydration because of my acne... until I started educating myself and realized I didn't technically have acne like I had when I was a teenager, just a super irritated damaged skin barrier and the very occasional breakout (most probably due to my damaged skin barrier, right?).The routine I have now is quite simple yet complete: CeraVe cream to foam hydrating cleanser, then the salicylic cleanser from the Inkey List, then a Hydraphase serum from la Roche Posay, snail mucin essence from Cosrx and CeraVe night facial moistirizer to finish (full of ceramides). I take the time for each step to soak into my skin before the next product. That's my night routine; in the morning, I rinse my face with lukewarm water, apply CeraVe daytime moisturizer with spf, currently looking for a light mineral sunscreen that won't have any effect on my makeup application and will moisturize my skin.
I acutally was like u , but then i found i have to double cleanse even i did not put nothing so i can make the actives if my cleanser get to my pores easly when the are already cleaned by balm
I double cleanse but not oil cleanse every night especially when I'm not wearing makeup or didn't go out. Usually, it's micellar water then cleanser or oil cleanser then normal cleaner 3x a week.
Double cleansing with balm is great. My skin felt completely clean. Maybe you guys should find ingredients that are non comedogenic. My fav cleansing balm - banila & beauty of joseon.
Black soap and your videos saved my skin ! But I can’t believe I didn’t think black soap would help me while my Moroccan dad kept telling me to use it all my life. The min I started using it… night and day. Can’t imagine using any other soap EVER !
I love elf balm and some by mi snail cleanser😍 they are cheap and effective.i tried the inkey list oat balm it is good but clogged my pores , elf balm never did so i sticked with it
❣️Great video 🎉 Abbey Yung is where I first saw someone use micellar water and a damp microfiber as her first cleanse. I do this, but do a balm first cleanse if I have a heavy SPF. However I always use micellar water for eye makeup after my first cleanse (if wearing more than mascara).
What about for people who are allergic to sulfur? Things that help my acne makes my lips develop painful eczema all over my face and lips ans even if I'm only exposed one time it lasts for weeks.
I also love micellar water because I can take off my makeup when coming home but I don’t have to wash my face right away because I will be working out etc
I’ve started double cleansing because of course, people on Instagram bragged about it,saying it made their skin beauuuutifuuul and rid off all the « nasties » on their skin (like blackheads, sebaceous filaments, oil, pimples, etc). I was struggling with hormonal acne, I believed them and especially because all of the skinfluencers insist on the SPF part, and they say that if you don’t remove it correctly, then you get pimples. And last summer, I used La Roche Posay sunscreen and my skin broke out because I only had Caudalie cleansing milk. So I bought the Bioderma Créaline oil and goooooooosh my skin got the worst acne EVER! At 31yo I had so so so soooo many breakouts. My jaws were full or them, shin, jawline, it hurt so much. Now my face is full of scars 😭 looking back at photos my skin wasn’t so bad yet I find it not so good, but now 😭😭😭😭😭 And now I have to use sunscreen to keep the scars away of my face but if I cannot remove the spf, I will also get pimples. I hope I will find a good cleansing routine 😢
Would you consider The Inkey List's Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser and Salicylic Acid Cleanser duo a double cleanse? On their website they reference it as such, but when I bring it up to others online they say it isn't.
I'm actually using a micellar water (the bioderma one) as a second step in my double cleansing routine (James Welsh said in one of his vids that you can do this if you are sensitive to water). I'm acné prone with combo skin. In the past I've used an oil cleanser + a very gentle cream cleanser and my face would still feel really, really tight. Now I use an oil cleanser + a micellar water and my face definitely feels less tight than before. My breakouts haven't gotten any worse because of this routine so I'm fine for now, but I still want to find the ideal combo of an oil + cream cleanser to tackle the tightness. If anyone has experiences with this problem, please feel free to share.
i relate to everything you just said i experience this too and i have the exact same skin type and i wanted try using an oil based cleanser and micellar water because an oil cleanser really helps remove everything easily but i was always scared to use micellar water as a second cleanse because i see everyone say its not a real cleanser but this comment made me feel less alone and i might actually try it
@@lauraanoja6420 hi Laura, I now actually use the bioderma micellar water as a first cleanse, and after that the la Roche posay toleriane Rosaliac micellar gel as a second cleanse. You're supposed to not wash your face with water afterwards but I do it anyways. This helped my sensitive, dehydrated skin so much (in combination with a hyaluronic acid serum). I hope you find something that works for you too!
would the pink bioderma micellar water be a good option?? please say yes, lol, i just bought a bottle of it last week! I have dry skin with mild acne and closed comedones on my chin and jaw line.
Wanted to let u know beauty bay has alot of zit sticka sets and products of all sizes on sales with lots of different products in it even the serum spf on sale then extra money off if u spend so much. They had alot of good stuff on BB and I never shopped their now I have a whole cart and 3 zit sticka sets noid and other goodies in their .
I thought for the past 3-4 years that I had Rosacea and fungal acne. Turns out besides having very sensitive skin, that I have diabetic skin (type 2), and vitamin D deficiency which not only causes havoc on skin, hair and nails, I also got thin nails and Alopecia (stress), due to trauma (bullying and abuse), but also has overlapping symptoms and triggers similar to that if Rosacea. Even harder than Rosacea and fungal acne as products meant for those skin conditions breaks me out as well. Both Squalane and MTC (coconut oil) oil breaks me the fuck out, yet I used those for years until I understood it was those that destroyed my skin. Niacinamide, vitamin C and its derivatives, green tea, HA, AHA/BHA, Retinol, snail, propolis, oats, grape seed oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, jojoba oil, merula, rosehip, castor, argan and almond oils, same result. Park Shea butter also too occlusive, and same with Parafinum Liquidum/vaselin petrolatum. Found out in MUA school that I’m allergic to mineral makeup. I also got various food allergies, and intolerances as well as severe grass allergy to add to the mix which causes cross allergic reactions. Tried this duo, different brands, and broke me out as usual. Only use Cerave Hydrating Cleansers, all other Cerave products break me out too. Wish I could oil cleanse tho, but doesn’t work for me. Ironically growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s I never used any skincare products whatsoever never cleansed, moisturized or even sunscreen and I didn’t have problem skin or acne. Not even during puberty… uncontrolled diabetes, and high insulin levels causes acne, so therefore any oils will only make it worse.
Think I’ll try the Sam bunting one some of the micellar ones irritate my eyes. Dang is it hard finding good cleanser. I usually go between two different ones-gentle one and one for acne.
Cheap version of this - Ponds Cold Cream to remove makeup and dirt (a neutrogenia wipe to wipe the Ponds off if you have heavy makeup on), then Neutrogenia salycilic acid facial cleanser to get that foamy clean feeling (and to kill the acne), then a 5% benzoyl peroxide cream left on. When my face is feeling dry and I haven’t worn makeup, I flip it. Cleanse the acne first with salicylic acid face wash and then cold cream that gets rinsed off so it doesn’t feel like a heavy moisturizer. Then benzoyl peroxide 5%. If I still feel dry the only thing I haven’t found an inexpensive substitute for is a non acne causing moisturizer. I find a travel size or sample size of a Sephora moisturizer like Laneige or Tatchi works to get me through a winter when this routine doesn’t cut it. These products look interesting though! I will have to give them a shot! 😅
So could I do a 4% panoxyl benzoyl peroxide, with the cushion face wash and adapalene gel. I've been trying adapalene, first 3 days I ended up with eczema and flaking under my eyes. I didn't even put it under my eyes.
Adapalene should be used every 3 nights for about two weeks, then every other night for two weeks, then every night. Your skin needs to build up to it. Id take a break from it to rebuild your skin barrier and then start again!
Hi can you please make a video on how to maintain a good skin with wearing mask everyday In conclusion: how to avoid acne from getting worse with wearing mask
OOOOOoooo girl. I feel like we had the same natural kick! I used an old Clanique jar from my mom and mixed baking soda, coconut oil, and lavender essential oil and would slather it on my face! And then I’d use a hot wash cloth to make it “open my pores’. I criingeee. I also did the ‘NO POO” hair care thing. It was horrible. Buildup city. I laugh Cory at my teenage self. My cosmetology self now facepalms.
I have struggled with acne for almost 20 years. Went on accutane in 2015 and it worked great until about 2019 when I started breaking out again. I switched to oil cleansing about 4 months ago and have NEVER had better looking skin. Coconut oil does make my skin worse so avoid it like the plague. But the Dirty Lamb cleansing oil is pure MAGIC for my skin. For so long I dried it out scared of any kind of moisture even though I wanted so badly to moisturize. Also discovered the peels from dr Dennis gross and love them a few times a week.
I'm a dry skin biotch without acne who rarely wears make-up. Why am I watching this video? Don't know, but I am, lol. Maybe it's because I enjoy skincare videos while doing my own routine.
Use elf cleansing balm and some by mi snail cleanser trust me they will not clog ur pore and they are cheap and ur face will be so elastic like baby face
I always wondered if my double cleanse method was okay, since I have oily acne prone skin too. I always wear sunscreen so I use Skin1004 centella oil cleanse, then 2nd cleanse the cerave SA facial wash. My skin still has those tiny hardened oils. Would micellar water then 2nd cleanser be better instead? I read that oil dissolves oil that’s why I tried the oil cleanse. Any tips? I still have that pesky hard oils especially on the nose
I use to use CeraVe SA cleanser too and it was too gentle, not cleansing enough for my oily T-zone. So you could try the micellar between cleanses and if that doesn't work, switch out the CeraVe to something else.
@@chibialien57 I currently use the AHA, BHA, PHA Miracle Cleansing Bar from k-beaty brand Some By Mi. Their Miracle line and Yuja Niacin line have been heaven sent for my acne prone skin.
I used to use Cerave or Spectro Gel and didn’t realize for years that it wasn’t taking off my sunscreen or my long wear acne covering makeup. I will still use Spectro Gel on a day where maybe I’m just home all day or in the morning because I took my makeup off the night before. I swear by Ponds cold cream - there is a reason all the old ladies and so many drag queens use it. It takes off heavy makeup and oils. I use that with a makeup wipe to wipe off the makeup / cold cream (which definitely has the stuff to break down makeup) then I will either use a benzoyl peroxide acne wash or a salycilic acid face wash (neutrogena). Then I always use a 5% benzoyl peroxide cream. (Big difference -2.5% is not strong enough for me) I have had hormonal cystic acne my entire life that even Accutaine didn’t fully get rid of but this system works for me. If I’m feeling dry I will apply and rinse the cold cream again after the acne face wash. As this make me feel like I have a moisturizer barrier without feeling like oily ness is sitting on my skin.
When you’re at the store the Ponds will be on the bottom shelf for $10 or less. Because they don’t need to advertise their shelf position at eye level, they don’t need to charge a lot because if you know you know and you use it. The formula is from 1907. 1907! Sometimes older is better and we don’t realize because everyone is marketing their new stuff. Although I’ve used $80 tatcha oil cleanser and yes it is also luxurious fabulous stuff too. You just can’t beat Pond’s price.
Most of her videos adressing acne address hormonal acne on a good level. A good amount of acne is hormonally driven, but if you see a video talking about retinoids (like tretinoin) or especially spironolactone which is used to treat hormonal acne, thats where id start!
Is it a must to double cleanse my face to remove a sunscreen? I use 3w clinic sunscreen and the face wash from simple . Most of the products recommended by you are either not available or too pricy in my county😓
I use elf balm and then some by mi snail cleanser even when i do not put a thing or just sunscreen , i found out that when i clean my face with the balm then i use my cleanser the activr ingr on my cleanser get to my pores even good to treat my skin, when i wake up i find that my face elastic and hydrated like baby
I suppose you need something to desolve the waterresistant sunscreen with something more than a gentle cleanser, but if you use a non waterresistant one i guess a gentler cleanser like Cerave hydrating cleanser should be ok?
I was putting sunscreen on to cut my grass and my ex friend was going to help. She did not know how to put sunscreen on. It was like she was washing shit off her shoe. lol... I taught her how to do a routine. Her excuse was, she didn't want a white cast. Uh HELLO IM 10X DARKER THAN YOU, WHY WOULD I HAVE A SUNSCREEN THAT LEAVES A CAST! I was so shocked. She doesn't learn hence the reason why we aren't friends. lol
So, the lesson of this video is - do not follow advice from influencers. It does not even have to be out of malice, because most of the time it's just pure ignorance. And most products are overpriced. Except for retinol, vitamin C, moisturizer, and sun screen most products just take your money and don't give you anything back. The beauty industry tries to sell people new products to make money. Cassandra presents soo many products in every video, but it's doubtful that she is able to use every single on of them. So, whats the purpose of showing these products? It only makes women go and buy this stuffd. Then the next video with the next products come. And so it goes on... It so makes no sense to switch products all the time. You won't be able to tell if a cream is good long-term if you switch your stuff every week. And no, you can't see a reduction of wrinkles or hyperpigmentation after applying it once. It is pure stupidity to claim such things (yes, Cassandra does not claim these things, but people in search of the holy grail of creams often do).
No, the lesson of the video is to follow up and do your own research in conjunction with what info she is presenting. She "promotes" products loosely, but gives a wide variety of economically friendly options for a variety of skin conditions and skin types. She tries different products periodically for video reviews, but she does have a main line of product routine that she personally uses for her skin type. She's arguably one of the most knowledgeable skin gurus out there, breaks down ingredients, and supplies scientific journals in a lot of her videos. She incorporates new products, but there are several she consistently talks about.
Cassandra, could you please talk about milky toners? I see them everywhere and I really want to try them, but I want don't want to waste money. I would be really grateful for that! 🤍 have a nice day✨

Adapalene should be used every 3 nights for about two weeks, then every other night for two weeks, then every night. Your skin needs to build up to it. Id take a break from it to rebuild your skin barrier and then start again!
Hi can you please make a video on how to maintain a good skin with wearing mask everyday
In conclusion: how to avoid acne from getting worse with wearing mask
Love 😍
OOOOOoooo girl. I feel like we had the same natural kick! I used an old Clanique jar from my mom and mixed baking soda, coconut oil, and lavender essential oil and would slather it on my face! And then I’d use a hot wash cloth to make it “open my pores’. I criingeee. I also did the ‘NO POO” hair care thing. It was horrible. Buildup city. I laugh Cory at my teenage self. My cosmetology self now facepalms.
I have struggled with acne for almost 20 years. Went on accutane in 2015 and it worked great until about 2019 when I started breaking out again.
I switched to oil cleansing about 4 months ago and have NEVER had better looking skin. Coconut oil does make my skin worse so avoid it like the plague. But the Dirty Lamb cleansing oil is pure MAGIC for my skin.
For so long I dried it out scared of any kind of moisture even though I wanted so badly to moisturize.
Also discovered the peels from dr Dennis gross and love them a few times a week.
I also got my degree in 2009, but in Political Science and Criminal Justice.
I'm a dry skin biotch without acne who rarely wears make-up. Why am I watching this video? Don't know, but I am, lol.
Maybe it's because I enjoy skincare videos while doing my own routine.
Hi I have very oily skin, would I benefit from double cleansing twice a day or would that makes problem worse? x
Use elf cleansing balm and some by mi snail cleanser trust me they will not clog ur pore and they are cheap and ur face will be so elastic like baby face
@@mostepicscenes199 I just got Elf I hope it’s good
@@ZanderKun_ it is good it is light and rich of ceramides ♥️♥️
I saw that they use people with acne in their ads! Finally lol
👑
There is a benzoyl with lower % 👀
I always wondered if my double cleanse method was okay, since I have oily acne prone skin too. I always wear sunscreen so I use Skin1004 centella oil cleanse, then 2nd cleanse the cerave SA facial wash. My skin still has those tiny hardened oils. Would micellar water then 2nd cleanser be better instead? I read that oil dissolves oil that’s why I tried the oil cleanse. Any tips? I still have that pesky hard oils especially on the nose
I use to use CeraVe SA cleanser too and it was too gentle, not cleansing enough for my oily T-zone. So you could try the micellar between cleanses and if that doesn't work, switch out the CeraVe to something else.
@@Marskilius thanks, what other cleanser have u tried besides the Cerave SA cleanser?
@@chibialien57 I currently use the AHA, BHA, PHA Miracle Cleansing Bar from k-beaty brand Some By Mi. Their Miracle line and Yuja Niacin line have been heaven sent for my acne prone skin.
I used to use Cerave or Spectro Gel and didn’t realize for years that it wasn’t taking off my sunscreen or my long wear acne covering makeup. I will still use Spectro Gel on a day where maybe I’m just home all day or in the morning because I took my makeup off the night before. I swear by Ponds cold cream - there is a reason all the old ladies and so many drag queens use it. It takes off heavy makeup and oils. I use that with a makeup wipe to wipe off the makeup / cold cream (which definitely has the stuff to break down makeup) then I will either use a benzoyl peroxide acne wash or a salycilic acid face wash (neutrogena). Then I always use a 5% benzoyl peroxide cream. (Big difference -2.5% is not strong enough for me) I have had hormonal cystic acne my entire life that even Accutaine didn’t fully get rid of but this system works for me. If I’m feeling dry I will apply and rinse the cold cream again after the acne face wash. As this make me feel like I have a moisturizer barrier without feeling like oily ness is sitting on my skin.
When you’re at the store the Ponds will be on the bottom shelf for $10 or less. Because they don’t need to advertise their shelf position at eye level, they don’t need to charge a lot because if you know you know and you use it. The formula is from 1907. 1907! Sometimes older is better and we don’t realize because everyone is marketing their new stuff. Although I’ve used $80 tatcha oil cleanser and yes it is also luxurious fabulous stuff too. You just can’t beat Pond’s price.
Have you done videos on “hormonal acne”? That’s what I keep being told I have.
Most of her videos adressing acne address hormonal acne on a good level. A good amount of acne is hormonally driven, but if you see a video talking about retinoids (like tretinoin) or especially spironolactone which is used to treat hormonal acne, thats where id start!
@@emmamcconnell6160 thanks! I actually just did apostrophe and that’s what they prescribed! Haha
@@amichelove yay! I hope it works well for you!
Is it a must to double cleanse my face to remove a sunscreen? I use 3w clinic sunscreen and the face wash from simple . Most of the products recommended by you are either not available or too pricy in my county😓
I use elf balm and then some by mi snail cleanser even when i do not put a thing or just sunscreen , i found out that when i clean my face with the balm then i use my cleanser the activr ingr on my cleanser get to my pores even good to treat my skin, when i wake up i find that my face elastic and hydrated like baby
I suppose you need something to desolve the waterresistant sunscreen with something more than a gentle cleanser, but if you use a non waterresistant one i guess a gentler cleanser like Cerave hydrating cleanser should be ok?
Cassandra, please tell me you didn't believe the Young Living people's health claims... that breaks my heart.
I was putting sunscreen on to cut my grass and my ex friend was going to help. She did not know how to put sunscreen on. It was like she was washing shit off her shoe. lol... I taught her how to do a routine. Her excuse was, she didn't want a white cast. Uh HELLO IM 10X DARKER THAN YOU, WHY WOULD I HAVE A SUNSCREEN THAT LEAVES A CAST! I was so shocked. She doesn't learn hence the reason why we aren't friends. lol
Is double cleansing also for the morning, when I have no makeup on?
Mostly not needed
Noo you defo don’t need it in the morning
I try to double cleanse but my skin in the 40s age is no longer able to take a lot of cleansing. I admit that I like to clean my face twice a day. 😉
So, the lesson of this video is - do not follow advice from influencers. It does not even have to be out of malice, because most of the time it's just pure ignorance. And most products are overpriced. Except for retinol, vitamin C, moisturizer, and sun screen most products just take your money and don't give you anything back. The beauty industry tries to sell people new products to make money. Cassandra presents soo many products in every video, but it's doubtful that she is able to use every single on of them. So, whats the purpose of showing these products? It only makes women go and buy this stuffd. Then the next video with the next products come. And so it goes on... It so makes no sense to switch products all the time. You won't be able to tell if a cream is good long-term if you switch your stuff every week. And no, you can't see a reduction of wrinkles or hyperpigmentation after applying it once. It is pure stupidity to claim such things (yes, Cassandra does not claim these things, but people in search of the holy grail of creams often do).
No, the lesson of the video is to follow up and do your own research in conjunction with what info she is presenting. She "promotes" products loosely, but gives a wide variety of economically friendly options for a variety of skin conditions and skin types. She tries different products periodically for video reviews, but she does have a main line of product routine that she personally uses for her skin type. She's arguably one of the most knowledgeable skin gurus out there, breaks down ingredients, and supplies scientific journals in a lot of her videos.
She incorporates new products, but there are several she consistently talks about.
😭😭😭it’s out of stock!!
Yeap. Girl. You still have ro wash your. Face.
What is a good alternative to sulfur? I'm very much allergic 🥲 so I know I must avoid it in any skincare as well as medication 👌
Cassandra, could you please talk about milky toners? I see them everywhere and I really want to try them, but I want don't want to waste money. I would be really grateful for that! 🤍 have a nice day✨
