Thank you so much for the love in these kind words! It’s definitely a struggle, and I’m still not the best, but I’m learning more and more every day! I’m happy to be able to share that with you!
I hope a lot of skincare youtubers get inspired by how you present so much scientifically backed up information than just blabbering opinions which may mislead consumers. Love you Cassandra!
I love how excited you are about this, makes me so happy! ☺️ so happy the acne game is always moving forward! Even though my acne days are gone I know how hard it was to manage, so great to know people now have more options also can’t believe it’s under 15$ that’s great! This video made me so happy to watch cause you are so happy 😁
My daily skin care routine morning Paula's choice BHA, hylauronic acid lotion hada lado, niacinamide the ordinary, azelaic acid the ordinary, cerave moisturiser. In the evening I swap out the bha as use adapolene after moisturiser and wash skin with cerave foaming cleanser or do a double clean if wearing makeup. My question is where do I slot this product in and if I can remove any items. I have acne prone combination skin. Thanks. Appreciate all your wonderful advice xx
@@eva_pe Hi tolerate products pretty well as my skin is extremely used to adapolene, and BHA's. Also attended a dermatologist numerous times for in clinic strong facial peels for acne scarring. I've had acne for around 20 years and it is mostly under control. I incorporated Paula's Choice BHA as adapolene was not cutting it and frequent breakouts were occurring around the jaw line. I may have gained benefit from higher strength adapolene but choose this route for now. This of course is only a topical measure, however I have tried a variety of oral herbal options as feel my acne is most likely hormonal. Although, it can be difficult to pinpoint and gain results without these topical surface fixes. I also try to exercise daily and reduce stress which has help emensly working holistically with my body. I should also reduce sugar...this sadly is a weakened and work in progress as well as cutting out majority of cows dairy preferring goats as it's more easily digested and tolerated personally as well as less mass produced and hormone containing. I have tried coconut milk with good results but found it more difficult to source during Covid.
Can you make a “What Nobody Will Tell You About Truly Beauty” I found some shady details that I think people should know about, and I feel your platform is beneficial. They used to be Truly Organic and got sued because they weren’t FDA approved so they changed to Truly Beauty. Also the website says to look to the box of the products for the ingredient list because they change their ingredients (a lot) but I think it’s king of unethical to only put the key ingredients on the back of the box and not clarify that there are way more ingredients. I personally bought their eye cream to reduce puffiness, and on the ingredients list (box) the first ingredient is Aloe Vera and water isn’t even listed, which was a huge turn on. I was disappointed because the product didn’t work the way I was hoping. I was so upset, I thought I would never fix my puffiness. I was almost relieved when I found out that it wasn’t the true ingredients list because it meant I might still have a chance. The first ingredient is water and second is coconut oil, which explains why my eyes were worse than before. I also left reviews on some products and my rave reviews got published but my bad reviews didn’t. I also went to delete my rave review on the rose water because I saw the full ingredients list and I wanted to take back everything I said. I wasn’t able to delete my review either. I think people should be aware of these things. I do however still like their hair masks and body lotions. But I don’t trust their skincare.
yes!! especially since cass recommended one of their products in the description box of one of her most recent videos. they also lied about being vegan - that was the main part of their lawsuit!
Woman, literally !!!! I m in 11 grade; & just learnt about the detailed TriCarboxylic Acid(TCA)/Kreb’s cycle & I m soooo enlightened that succinic acid actually helps with acne/skin care!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing such imp info !!!! Loved the video🤪😍😍🥰🥰😘😘😘😊
I developed acnes on new year this year. I have never had acnes before and I’m 30 now and have no idea how to deal with it . It definitely has affected my confidence. I will definitely give this a go
Same thing happened to me. No issues with acne at all growing up. Turned 30 and boom, full cystic acne all around my face. Confidence took a huge hit. Dealing with the hyperpigmentation aftermath now. The entire bottom half of my face is a completely different colour than the rest of my face. :(
The happiness i got when i knew exactly what she was talking about when she explains succinic acid is amazing. Literally i've studied that 5 min ago. Im gonna buy that product right now
Today, after 2 weeks using it I have truly seen the change this product has made on my pimples. Is not magic but it sure makes a difference, reduces the inflamation which at the same time avoid my hyperpigmentation. I have found that rubbing in makes it more successful. Also, is not irritating at all, which I love.
You are an inspiration to those including myself, struggling with acne and pledges to be victorious, physically, mentally and emotionally. Rise and shine beautiful, reach for the stars. Love and hugs xx
Now I'm EXTRA bummed that I just did a Sephora order of some Inky list items yesterday and didn't wait a day so I could add this product to my order! I got the Niacinamide oil control serum and the BHA blemish + blackhead serum and am super excited to incorporate them into my routine and see how they work! I LOVE how informative their brand is and I really feel like the focus is on educating rather than just blindly selling. I also LOVE how the bottles say what time of day to use each product and where in your routine the item would fit in. I may have to do another order just to try out this new product! I can FEEL your genuine excitement and that's motivation enough for me to try it out too!
Cassandra, thank you thank you THANK YOU for all the effort YOU put into your videos! As a black teen, it's been so insightful to find an honest, skincare nerd who is honest, passionate and reputable ❤❤Thank you!! 😎😎love you ❤❤😊
Thank you thank YOU for being here and watching!! My own morals and values can exhaust me at some points, but I think it’s so important to always strive to do better! I want skin care that is efficacious, affordable, and kind hearted as well as being socially responsible! I’m so grateful to have found that here, as well as a few other places. And if I can share that end experience that joy with others you know I will! I love and appreciate you!
Cassandra: If you've studied biochemistry or medicine, you may look at this and it might sound familiar. Me, a former culinary student: Ah, zucchini! yes, it sounds familiar.
I love your content and honest reviews hun.. You were one of the key inspirations for me starting my sincare channel as someone who suffers with acne.. This product is epic xxx
Haha thank you! Technically yesterday’s video was uploaded on Sunday, although my intention was to get that one out on Saturday LOL. Creating videos takes a lot longer than one would expect, but it’s always worth it for the reward of sharing and learning along side with you! Sending lots of love! I hope you enjoyed!
I’m on the dry side, have eczema, and am acne prone and am so excited to hear that this could be gentle enough for me! I love the color too! So fun and different!
Just ordered this so excited 😍 the inkey lists CoQ10 plus spf in the am and their retinol at night has made my skin BABY smooth just purging a little from retinol so I’m super excited for this! Thanks girl!
I bought this product on a whim a few weeks ago and it didn’t work well under or over my other skincare products, moisturiser etc, but I it on its own on a a spot I had in my hairline and it was completely flat in 12 hours! This video has helped me figure out how I can use it properly on the rest of my face so I am off to do that right now!
Everyone should check out Lab Muffin Beauty Science’s video about this product before buying it. She says she actually likes and uses it BUT - the marketing is not honest. To say the least.
AHHHHH IVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED ABOIT A NEW PRODUCT EVER ITS SOLD OUT ONLINE BUT IM GOING TO MY LOCAL DRUGSTORE WHICH RECENTLY STARTED STOCKING INKEYLIST (WHICH IS SO COOL??) TOMORROW AND PRAYING THEY HAVE IT😳
I was so thrilled when I knew what ATP and the citric acid cycle is! So happy I learned something in my biochemistry classes in school 😂 I love your videos Cassandra 😊 Lots of love from Germany 😊
I already knew succinic acid. I used the product including organic Amber Rose extract as the key ingredient - the extract that has ample amount of succinic acid and it worked amazingly.
I really appreciate that you share such honest reviews to us. I have suffered with acne for over 15 years too. I’m now 30 yrs old and still suffer with acne, but your reviews have helped me discover some really useful products that have helped me heal. Thanks Cassandra, And please keep sharing. 👍🏻
i have back-ne and shoulder-ne as well but hardly nothing on my face? i think its because i dont take care of my back or shoulders as well as my face. on my face i only use hyaluronic acid, oils such as argan, tamanu etc, sunscreen and vitamin c. i also drink raw, organic, apple cider vinegar which really helps w/ acne as well. im thinking if i would use all that stuff everywhere else i would be ok.
the retinoids work very well (but be careful you mustn't pick your skin or apply them on damaged skin because it will scar) and benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria there
I saw this product on James Welsh, I went to their site and put this on my chart yesterday. Today I saw your review and went back there again! SOLD! I bought 2! 😄😆😁
I have recently come across you & watched more than I card to admit, but I am grateful. I have suffered from cystic acne for several years & find much of what you say & stand for to hit home. I did see my dermatologist but found it less than helpful for longevity results. Unfortunately only oral & not topical were assistive, but I digress. Thank you for educating me more than you could possibly know. Hopefully I have been an apt pupil. I recently purchased a few of your recommendations to try & see if they’ll help me control my breakouts better, since I truly was not knowledgeable in this realm despite my experiences. Regardless of whether or not they do, thank you. Ps. I purchased this too lol
Cassandra can you please do a video about DECIEM brands Hylamide and NIOD? There is a ton of content regarding The Ordinary on your Channel, I‘d be so excited to hear your expert opinion on those skincare lines as I prefer using them sometimes! Great Content 💗💗
As soon as I saw the color I was like "looks like salicylic acid" and then I found out I was right. Yes salicylic acid is awesome but given the ingredient list there is nothing innovative about this product...
Heyy Cass, could you do a video reacting to your subscribers skincare routines? Do you think it's a good idea? I'd love to see that. As always thank you so much for putting such good information out there. Lots of love ❤
Struggling. Soot came into my apt and covered it, even in my fridge.i started getting them in october, the soot was coming in as of a hose as spraying it. My face just got worse by the day. I’m I’ve ever had acne, no one in my entire family has had acne. I moved and although my face isn’t as angry, it’s not going away. I just got this, thank you i hope it helps
I've been looking at facetheory, they do avoid a lot of fine ingredients, but they also have good actives in their cosmetics. And you can often pick a fragrance free options and they note the percentages of the allergens!
Cassandra, would you mind doing a video on being cruelty free and what the difference is between that term and "no animal testing" and also how you can tell if a brand really is cruelty free. I'm considering going cruelty free myself, but I don't really know a lot about it to make that huge decision yet. Could you do a video trying to convince me? Love your channel; thank you!
When someone brings up science, why does it make people automatically want to contradict? I was thinking at least some commenting viewers would have some experience with the product to share to complete the their contempt. I found your video intriguing and it brought back some of my biochemistry knowledge that I haven't used in years. Alcohol is listed as an "Inactive ingredient" in Nyquil. I suspect alcohol actively helps put the sick to sleep. I don't usually watch sponsored videos. However, I admire your enthusiasm and respect the experience & science you share. I am planning on giving this product a try. Thank you! 💙
I paused halfway through to buy this! It’s brand of the month on cultbeauty at the moment, so shipping is currently free. I’m very excited for it to arrive- I currently have plenty of blemishes to test it out on 😂 Thank you for the thorough review x
Thank you so much for your content. You introduced me to skincare on RUclips. Now I watch James Welsh, Hyram and Lab muffin beauty science and you. And I love the overall vibe of the skincare community. You 're all so supportive of each other! Soo inspiring thanks 😊
hii cassandra!! just wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing and so very entertaining..i have literally binged watched every single one of them :) ..hope you continue making videos about skin care🥰✨thank you for all the information you give us in your videos, it has been extremely helpful..love u and stay safe!!❤️
I’m 17 and just ordered it! I’ve struggled with scne for 5 years and just into skincare around 1,5 years ago. My skin has seen so many improvements, but I hope this will help the extra tricky areas
I do not have acne-prone skin. However, I am thrilled for my sisters and brothers and non-binary friends who struggle with acne. Having different affordable options for your skin type can be very empowering and uplifting.
I'm curious how Lab Muffin Beauty Science posted a video saying this product works because of the salycilic acid in it and not succinic. Now I'm confused if should continue to trust Cassandra
I think you are better off getting your recommendation from the derms on youtube (a couple of derms and not just one so you can make your own conclusion). Cassandra is NOT medically trained so it's like taking medical advice from a marketing agent. This is why as consumer every one should do their on research and not buy products impulsively just because their favourite skinfluencer "approves" it.
Examining videos and comments from her and hyram and comparing them to scientists like michelle wong (labmuffinbeautyscience) shows the difference between influencers and scientists. Marketing and weak non-peer reviewed studies vs real studies and in vivo patient use.
I honestly thought Cassandra was one to be trusted. This video makes me question every other video she's ever made, especially the sponsored ones. I really hate it when companies and influencers especially are involved in shady marketing like this. I mean, just be honest with your customers/subscribers. That's not a hard request. Don't try to trick us. It's bullsh*t.
@@christinunya72 I agree with you there. It's sad. I think cassandra is a good person. But in the end, she is still subject to the same flaws as a lot of influencers in her position. A lot of companies will sponsor these youtubers and they will be fed these flawed studies that they can't view critically and without bias. In the end, they are "skincare gurus" not dermatologists and cosmetic scientists. I take all their advice with a very large grain of salt. Labmuffinbeautyscience is my go to.
@@christinunya72 same. now I'm not sure if I can trust her. I think what happened is: she tried it on her skin and had really good results which made her super excited and ready to believe the studies and marketing...
Why is everyone done though ? They're a business most of your products are advertised as one thing but is something else. As long as it works it should be okay this has worked wonders for me idc if the labelled acid isn't the active ingredient.
Haha of course!! Technically yesterdays video was uploaded on Sunday, but the way RUclips takes so long to process and post it ended up going at midnight! My intention was to get it out on Saturday but better late than never!!
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT and the innovation behind it. Cleared up a huge pimple of mine so quickly. Congrats on the sponsorship boo! ☺️❤️
Hi Hyram! 🤗🍭
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS OMG!
OMG ITS HYRAM
Hi hyram
Thank you for the products you showed me and I'm now using🥺♥️
The color is really interesting, I've never seen acne treatment with a blue/teal tinge like that
Right?! Isn’t it pretty! I’m honestly in love with it and so thrilled to have a new affordable favorite!
I have seen an azulen paste (not very efficient lol)
Cassandra is on fire with posting videos LITERALLY EVERYDAY 🔥🥰🤩
I’m so glad that she’s doing this! Sub box getting filled 😭
She’s trying, she’s trying!
Right!! I was JUST thinking that! My notifications are going wild and I’m here for it!!!!
@@CassandraBankson keep up the good work but honestly TAKE A BREAK IF YOU NEED IT 🥰
Sometimes several times a day!
Seeing you stay true to yourself and love yourself despite your past breakouts is something I strive to emulate. 💗💗💗
Thank you so much for the love in these kind words! It’s definitely a struggle, and I’m still not the best, but I’m learning more and more every day! I’m happy to be able to share that with you!
Just came here from lab muffin beauty!!! Shady
The fact the Inkey List is at Boots in the UK makes me so happy 🎉🎉
I hope a lot of skincare youtubers get inspired by how you present so much scientifically backed up information than just blabbering opinions which may mislead consumers.
Love you Cassandra!
I love how excited you are about this, makes me so happy! ☺️ so happy the acne game is always moving forward!
Even though my acne days are gone I know how hard it was to manage, so great to know people now have more options also can’t believe it’s under 15$ that’s great!

Wait so I have to apply other moisturizer after applying Niacinamide Serum 12% and 2% zinc that also has Hyloraunic Acid and Vitamin E ??
Can’t I just apply Lubriderm regular lotion ??
The radiance coming from her in this video is contagious!
Cassandra please!!! a updated routine video with this product 💖🙏🏻 it will help me tons!
Labmuffin just debunked this product. So Cassandra, is the medical data you mentioned earlier in the video based on that ONE study on mouse?
Who did the study? Wasn’t the Inkey List was it?
Can you make a “What Nobody Will Tell You About Truly Beauty”
I found some shady details that I think people should know about, and I feel your platform is beneficial.
They used to be Truly Organic and got sued because they weren’t FDA approved so they changed to Truly Beauty. Also the website says to look to the box of the products for the ingredient list because they change their ingredients (a lot) but I think it’s king of unethical to only put the key ingredients on the back of the box and not clarify that there are way more ingredients.
I personally bought their eye cream to reduce puffiness, and on the ingredients list (box) the first ingredient is Aloe Vera and water isn’t even listed, which was a huge turn on. I was disappointed because the product didn’t work the way I was hoping. I was so upset, I thought I would never fix my puffiness. I was almost relieved when I found out that it wasn’t the true ingredients list because it meant I might still have a chance. The first ingredient is water and second is coconut oil, which explains why my eyes were worse than before. I also left reviews on some products and my rave reviews got published but my bad reviews didn’t. I also went to delete my rave review on the rose water because I saw the full ingredients list and I wanted to take back everything I said. I wasn’t able to delete my review either.
I think people should be aware of these things. I do however still like their hair masks and body lotions. But I don’t trust their skincare.
yes!! especially since cass recommended one of their products in the description box of one of her most recent videos. they also lied about being vegan - that was the main part of their lawsuit!
I have never heard of Truly Beauty, but it sounds like a super shady company, I won’t be buying from them!😬yikes

Oh i would LOVE to hear about NIOD!! Just heard of it the other day!
Exciting! Yes they have some very interesting formulas, we have spoken about them before but I think it’s time for an update!
@@CassandraBankson I'm excited!! x
I know several skin care folks who seem to like the NIOD superoxide dismutase saccharide mist.
Turns out it is basically a product with *Salicylic acid* as the main ingredient, not Succinic Acid. 😑
On the package, as I have it in front of me, it says 2% succinic acid and 1% salicylic acid though. :)
DJ , the only ingredient in the product proven to be an effective treatment for acne is the SA.
I randomly saw this on Sephora and then came across your video! So glad I got it. Thanks for making me try the inkey list products!
As soon as I saw the color I was like "looks like salicylic acid" and then I found out I was right. Yes salicylic acid is awesome but given the ingredient list there is nothing innovative about this product...
This brand is amazing. Their products are amazing. Definitely going to try this.
You are wonderful! Thank you for introducing us to this product in the best way. Can't wait to try it!
Yay I just bought this before I saw this video! I wasn't sure about it but I'm glad you're reviewing it!

Cassandra, would you mind doing a video on being cruelty free and what the difference is between that term and "no animal testing" and also how you can tell if a brand really is cruelty free. I'm considering going cruelty free myself, but I don't really know a lot about it to make that huge decision yet. Could you do a video trying to convince me? Love your channel; thank you!
Cassandra ur literally the best ily
Lab Muffin made a very interesting video about this....
Ahhh I was about to comment.. lol it’s the SA doing all the work 😂
i can’t remember what i ate for breakfast yesterday but i will always remember that ✨ the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell✨
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you're passionately talking about skincare, I'm falling hard for you, Cassandra !
When someone brings up science, why does it make people automatically want to contradict? I was thinking at least some commenting viewers would have some experience with the product to share to complete the their contempt. I found your video intriguing and it brought back some of my biochemistry knowledge that I haven't used in years. Alcohol is listed as an "Inactive ingredient" in Nyquil. I suspect alcohol actively helps put the sick to sleep. I don't usually watch sponsored videos. However, I admire your enthusiasm and respect the experience & science you share. I am planning on giving this product a try. Thank you! 💙
You should all watch the new video of Lab Muffin Beauty talking about this product... Im so done with the Inkey List
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re such a snowflake..
I just ordered this yesterday on Sephora, I'm so excited to try it next time I get a breakout!
I paused halfway through to buy this! It’s brand of the month on cultbeauty at the moment, so shipping is currently free. I’m very excited for it to arrive- I currently have plenty of blemishes to test it out on 😂 Thank you for the thorough review x
Just when I was looking for a spot treatment that was salicylic acid based. I'm willing to try it!
You have NO idea (okay I think you do) how excited I am to try this product out!!!!
Love this! I am so excited to try it, especially with the next semester starting up soon! Need something to help fight those stress breakouts😅
Thank you so much for your content. You introduced me to skincare on RUclips. Now I watch James Welsh, Hyram and Lab muffin beauty science and you. And I love the overall vibe of the skincare community. You 're all so supportive of each other! Soo inspiring thanks 😊
hii cassandra!! just wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing and so very entertaining..i have literally binged watched every single one of them :) ..hope you continue making videos about skin care🥰✨thank you for all the information you give us in your videos, it has been extremely helpful..love u and stay safe!!❤️
2 videos in 1 day?? work-rate phenomenal
I’m 17 and just ordered it! I’ve struggled with scne for 5 years and just into skincare around 1,5 years ago. My skin has seen so many improvements, but I hope this will help the extra tricky areas
well, it’s been two years, but how did it work?
I do not have acne-prone skin. However, I am thrilled for my sisters and brothers and non-binary friends who struggle with acne. Having different affordable options for your skin type can be very empowering and uplifting.
you were right. i heard about it for the first time
Thanks for the review! I will check it out for my acne
I’ve never found anything that helps with my acne, tried so many products so I’m praying this will work for me🥺
did i
t work?
@@lovelalisa6890 YES IT WORKED
Your eyelashes are to die for! 🥺
I'm curious how Lab Muffin Beauty Science posted a video saying this product works because of the salycilic acid in it and not succinic. Now I'm confused if should continue to trust Cassandra
I think you are better off getting your recommendation from the derms on youtube (a couple of derms and not just one so you can make your own conclusion). Cassandra is NOT medically trained so it's like taking medical advice from a marketing agent. This is why as consumer every one should do their on research and not buy products impulsively just because their favourite skinfluencer "approves" it.
You always brighten my day. Thanks for being the wonderful human being you are and making 2020 so much better
Sending love from the UK ❤️❤️
Love you Cassandra you're such a strong lady❤️
Cannot wait to try this! I was able to purchase! Thanks for your commitment to skincare and acne 💜
did it work??
Why is the Paula’s choice exfoliate formulated with water if SA is not water soluble?
Examining videos and comments from her and hyram and comparing them to scientists like michelle wong (labmuffinbeautyscience) shows the difference between influencers and scientists. Marketing and weak non-peer reviewed studies vs real studies and in vivo patient use.
This is why I’ll never trust these beauty gurus.
I honestly thought Cassandra was one to be trusted. This video makes me question every other video she's ever made, especially the sponsored ones. I really hate it when companies and influencers especially are involved in shady marketing like this. I mean, just be honest with your customers/subscribers. That's not a hard request. Don't try to trick us. It's bullsh*t.
@@christinunya72 I agree with you there.
It's sad.
I think cassandra is a good person. But in the end, she is still subject to the same flaws as a lot of influencers in her position. A lot of companies will sponsor these youtubers and they will be fed these flawed studies that they can't view critically and without bias.
In the end, they are "skincare gurus" not dermatologists and cosmetic scientists. I take all their advice with a very large grain of salt. Labmuffinbeautyscience is my go to.
@@christinunya72 same. now I'm not sure if I can trust her. I think what happened is: she tried it on her skin and had really good results which made her super excited and ready to believe the studies and marketing...
Why is everyone done though ? They're a business most of your products are advertised as one thing but is something else. As long as it works it should be okay this has worked wonders for me idc if the labelled acid isn't the active ingredient.
You are spoiling us today Cass and I'm not mad 😁❤️
Can i use a tens micto current unit on my face for better collagen production
Your skin looks so good ! 🤍🤍
2 posts in a day?!!?!? Wow thanks!!
Haha of course!! Technically yesterdays video was uploaded on Sunday, but the way RUclips takes so long to process and post it ended up going at midnight! My intention was to get it out on Saturday but better late than never!!
Awesome-just grabbed two from Sephora/your link! Thank you Cassandra!! 🙌🏻🥰💕
I literally just went and ordered it on Sephora!! Can’t wait to see if it works for me :)
did it work??
@@lovelalisa6890 it got rid of two huge cystic pimples in just 2 days!
What’s are your thoughts on the brand all natural advice? It’s cruelty free and organic. I’ve been using it for 6 months and I look 5 years younger
Yay new affordable product for acne helpful for my student cheap a** 😃
Rooting for you SO HARD
Are you still studying to be a dermatologist? Also could you review The Inkey List 100% Mineral Tinted SPF 30
oo yes id like that too
@rio check her and hyrams full inkey list video!
@@goodgriefff they dont have the sunscreen
Can i use a derma roller on my pink acne scars and broken capillaries
Cassandra doesn't recommend doing microneedling at home. She recommends going to a professional.
JUST ORDERED IT 😍😍😍
does it work
