▷ Trying to find I wear, eat, and read on a regular basis?! It's all here!!

🔴 Although I have over 1000 videos on skincare and acne I realized sometimes it's still hard for people to remember which acne products I recommend, vs those that I think are a waste of money!

I decided to create this helpful skincare list of breakout and other skin products that are acne-safe, that I personally recommend and put them all in one place! I hope you find this helpful- enjoy!

the more I watch your videos the more I get to the conclusion that cheap gentle soap to clean the face and then a normal hydration cream is the best way to go. Fancy stuff ends up trapping you in a consuming cycle of different products that never ends.

thank you for such clear and concise information! i love skincare and you make it so easy to pick which would work for my dry-normal skin type

For having acne in the past, your skin looks amazing ❤😊

Thanks Cassandra. I started Tretnoin in December and have had the darndest time with it. I broke out with periorbital eczema for the first time ever even with oily skin. CeraVe wasnt good enough but LaRoche Posay moisturizer did the trick. The CeraVe Healing Ointment around my eyes has stopped the eczema. I'm hoping that my skin will look flawless like yours soon.

There are some creams that do thin skin, though. Not retinal or anything, but hydrocortisone is something that does thin skin, for anyone unaware. (Who might have it prescribed.)

My sister came over yesterday, showed me an influencer who said fruits smoothed & made her skin youthful. I showed her ur J-Lo video & a bit from yesterday’s… she left w/my sunscreen 😏& lots of true helpful Cassandra education❣️ 😌

Love your description. My OG skincare enthusiast ❤️

[cassandrasales]

Exactly the answer I was looking for 😊 from Cassandra to another Cassandra with love 💕

I’ve used Retin A since the 80s. That and Aquaphor are the two things I would choose if I had to. I can’t even begin to tell you how great Tretinoin is. I get mine prescribed by my doctor or sometimes an online physician.

The peeling often experienced with retinoids is technically exfoliation though

[erynlotter]

My dermatologist said this. I knew something was wrong cause whenever I watched skincare videos whether it be skin influencers or dermatologists they never said it was an exfoliator. Cause they always would say remember not to use any exfoliators on the same day as u use retinol. I didn't correct the dermatologist cause I didn't want to come off as rude, especially since I'm 17 and theyve gone through yrs of medical school. Thx for clearing this up. 😂

YES 💗🦋💗🦋And now YOU are the Retinoid☂️Queen 👑 I'll keep the tretinoin queen crown 👑 (for now😉)💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋

I was on retinoid for 6 months and my skin peeled the entire time. Never lessened. And I got wrinkles on my forehead after starting.

I love retinol, it's kind feels "hydrating" to say, but I think it doesn't help me. I use the retinol from The ordinary for past a year, but I don't see something change on my skin. Many people say that when they use it makes their skin very dry (I have atopic dermatitis, but it's okay), flaky skin, some have more acne than before for a some time, but for me it's yeah it's give me a glow, nothing like what I heard. I use retinol 2 times a week and now I stopped for 3 weeks because I test a serum with BHA and tea tree. Even if I stop use them and come back i still not see many changes. I started to think that my skin is very plumply, I don't have any wrinkles (my parents are in their 60's still looking 5 to 10 years younger than they are), but my acne is the thing that made me start use it...still nothing changed. Maybe I do something wrong 😐

one issue I have with understanding how retinoids anti age us in the long run. Doesn't dna replication shorten the telomeres at the end of our chromosomes, therefore leading to our cells dying out earlier.

[noimnotakpoppfpsheacy]

Except when it comes to chemical peels. Trentinoin is used as that

[randomuser-orrd]

hey ive been watching your vids for a while and I love ur vids. But I couldn't help but notice that u are soo much more knowledgeable than other aesthes I hear on tiktok/youtube. Is there a particular reason for this! thanks

[gabriellaghelfi]

I'm really curious as to the name of the tretinoic acid you're showing in the reel😊😊

[hackitmaster]

What’s interesting is that tazarotene(another prescription retinoid) doesn’t bind to the rxr at all

[MariaJose-gwcq]

Hi Cassandra, please tell us which retinoid acid product do you have in these video, the one with yellow bottle. Many thanks 💜 😊
