[@rohwentwild7480]

Yes please do a video about PIE!! I'm fair skinned and I swear red marks last YEARS on me! Even azelaic acid doesn't work...

[@nicolabaker4391]

Try Tranexamic acid, I am also fair skinned and struggle with red marks after a bad inflamed spot. I found The Inkey List Tranexamic acid was the only thing that worked for me.

[@unwantedtomato20]

i buy licorice extract in my local market and it helped clear my PIE, note that i also use tret.

[@xxanniexo7x]

This video couldn't have come out at any better time! Currently struggling with some hyperpigmentation, and getting wildly frustrated with it. Thank you for always providing quality content that's easy to understand and adapt to personal needs 👏👏

[@mikidimos]

since the weather is getting hot, let us make sure not to point out someone's: -scars -body hair -cellulite -extra skin -loose skin -tummy rolls -stretch marks -self harm scars -dark underarms/inner thighs -hijabs (asking, "Isn't it hot wearing that?") -acne -eczema -vitiligo/other skin conditions (people may just not understand them) -how much weight someone's gained -how much wight someone's lost If it's not something they can fix in five minutes (smudged makeup, food in teeth, messy hair), then don't point it out. It's rude and none of your business...

[@Jasmine215100]

Hats off to you for being so prosocial and empathetic to others! "Be kind to others, for everyone is fighting a hard battle." Ancient Greek philosopher!

[@sendmemoneythanks]

Why? If someone ugly i gonna say it

[@physicianskitchen]

I appreciate your transparency SO MUCH. I have been watching your videos for a long time and I also appreciate just how much you have grown personally and I trust you with skincare. 💕

[@StarlitFran]

When you're light and get dark marks- so fun. Need combo target info please

[@maemangindalat1529]

Hi Cassandra. Can you do a video specifically just for PIE?

[@madismith3303]

Thank you Cassandra! You know the videos I need! If I wasn’t studying Audiology and finishing my doctorate, (bc trust me the feeling you have for sunscreen is the feeling I have about wearing hearing protection!) you best believe I’d be studying dermatology! You’re the best 🦋

[@chailatte5633]

I've recently introduced The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin + HA serum into my routine and it's been working beautifully! I'm honestly interested in trying the Inkey List one now!

[@pandoravex4791]

I recently got Tretonoin 0.025% ooof that stuff is potent. I’m using it every 3 days for now till I build more of a tolerance. That being said my skin always feels so nice the morning after.

[@ENEMA_AND_YOGA_CHANNEL]

I used daily enemas for 30 days. Now I have clear glowing healthy younger looking skin.

[@Ren98xx]

Please do a video on PIE !! I'm pale af and the red marks stay FOREVER once my acne goes...esp the cystic ones on my chin and jaw. It's just as visible as the acne itself tbh, just less painful, which is so annoying ! This vid was super helpful - one of my cheeks has had a massive brown patch on it for over a year (from 2 cystic acne spots i picked a few times bc aNxIeTy :( ). It didnt fade at all for about 6 months, ive been on skin&me tret (v v low...lve just finished the 0.009% month doser) and it's faded a bit but it's still visible. Vit C is a bit too strong for my skin atm since I still have active acne, but the tret (and before tret, lactic acid) and more vigiliant sunscreen application has been so helpful. Sorry for rambling, but if anyone has had similar experiences I'd love to hear them!

[@patyyszaboova1032]

Hey there! I had and I still have the same..big, painfult zits around my jawline and it takes AGES to get rid of them! Just like Cassandra said, azelaic acid worked wonders to my skin, it doesn't help that much with my breakouts/active acne, but it really helps to PIE! It took like 2-3 months to finally see some improvement, but after those months the PIE started to fade away much faster! Hope this helps ❤

[@Ren98xx]

@@patyyszaboova1032 thank you so much! I'm dealing with a mountain on my chin rn and I'm just trying rly hard not to squeeze it or be harsh...I'm really liking azelaic acid ATM (a lot of salicylic acid/glycolic products cause peeling/contact dermatitis after one use !) so I'm glad to hear it's helped you! I'll keep at it 🩷✨

[@Beth-wx4ct]

As you mentioned that copper is needed for melanin production, then can the copper peptides serum cause skin darkening. Please please talk about copper peptides like the needless serum from drmtlgy. Thanks for the videos you make, not only are they informative they are also so much fun. Thanks for making interesting videos 🤗😊

[@senanisaaydinli6996]

i also wanna know the answers

[@IttyBitty412]

Rewatch all of her videos because I literally come here when I need the strength to get up and do my skincare... Which has become nightly =\... But she helps me so much haha. Inspires me to just get up and do it and try to enjoy it and enjoy this and be happy about it. I'm just thankful 🖤

[@khushipreet393]

Finally, also do your favourite skincare products for each skin type...acne dry sensitive please do light...😅😅😅as this one is my skin type

[@msk-qp6fn]

I have been using The Ordinary's Retinol 1% in Squalane recently. Man, that thing is strong!! I imagine this is as close to as using a low strength tretinoin that can get with an OTC product. Although I do think my face has become more sensitized due to the fragrance in my sunscreens.

[@estefaniahiguitam]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA the ending got me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant, mona lisa..... im dying... Always loved Cassandra, she explains things so easy... always a fan

[@obnitor]

thank you! after final getting my acne breakouts down to a minimum, i’m starting to think about the hyperpigmentation left behind.

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

You lookn so awesome as always

[@KaraB1353]

I've become such a fan of Bubble's Vitamin C serum, Day Dream. It's $17!!! I tried so many vitamin C's before, even vitamin C esters, but less than a month with day dream I saw such a difference with my PIE.

[@debbie_LJ]

LOVE YOU Cassandra Bankson 💗🦋💗🦋💗🦋🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@susanhemme8465]

Would the mentioned products also work on arms? Now that I am a certain age, when I get a small injury that draws blood, depending on how deep, I often end up with dark spots after they heal.....and I HATE the HELL out of it!!!

[@hnitoothakhin26]

I wanna see the review of bellflower watermelon fresh sunscreen.

[@oilofolady2363]

I ❤watching you every day 🦋

[@Emily-dn2qg]

Can you use these ingredients (Azelaic acid, vitamin C etc) whilst you have acne currently?

[@Tanyapaperbacks]

Can you talk about Resveratrol? Please!

[@itssarahbeth]

I've been using the Ren skincare daily aha glow tonic and its amazing, i have oily skin and it gives me such a beautiful brightening affect. It may honestly be one of my favorite chemical exfoliating toner other than the ordinary glycolic toning solution 😊 p.s i bought the ren glow toner at tj maxx for $6.99 for the 8 oz thats $40 in sephora but honestly i love it so much i would pay full price next time

[@malyahphillips8505]

Cassandra can you discuss Kojic acid soap? I’ve seen some say it’s amazing and got rid of their hyperpigmentation and some have had horrible reactions. I’ve been considering it but not sure.

[@cdanieldance]

The ordinary has the aloe and NAG suppose to help with PIE and hyper pigmentation. Wouldn't love to know your thoughts

[@cmntr_]

Yes please! 😊

[@austinbINC]

Same here!

[@larysa___5412]

Дякую за відео! Якраз те, що мене зараз цікавить🙂

[@smooshpup5011]

So we should use which one??????????????? So much talk and still no idea what to use.

[@jessiejones9623]

DermalMD Acne Serum has been a lifesaver for me. It's cleared up my acne and prevented new breakouts from forming. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with acne.

[@chrisnicolaou]

Do you have any suggestions for inflammatory conditions like lupus? I get tumid lupus lesions and I never know what I should use 😢

[@my2cents85]

thank you for the vedio as always love u ... ❤❤❤❤

[@Andrea-tf1le]

Thank you for making this! I have red/purple marks that last forever! Which is better to treat the left over marks, over the counter adapalene or retinaldehyde? I'm currently using adapalene for the acne but wondering if it's gonna do much for the dark marks,?

[@sahithi8877]

Hi Cassandra I have been watching your videos for a long time and in love with your videos, can you please do a video on contact dermatitis (lip and under eye dermatitis) like which ingredients cause this and how to prevent this

[@bookaholicesxoxo]

Need more videos on scaring...I also have a few pores that stay as holes now and i have the white dots that stay after the redness is gone

[@hitomitomtom]

Thanks! Helps a lot!!

[@lindabudayova246]

Please advise me more serums containing kojic acid which I can buy in EU.

[@asyiasuad6111]

I've bought the Paula's choice one but it isn't doing much for my skin sadly 😅 I've bought again the vitamin C serum from klairs and I'm keeping it in the fridge. That has done wonderful on my skin and I hope it doesn't oxidize..I would have liked to use other things but I'm breastfeeding and I cannot use some ingredients

[@JulienArbor]

How does kojic acid work if you’re using copper peptides in another part of your routine? I don’t want to reverse the good effects of copper peptides by using kojic acid. Also, I want to use tretinoin on my face, but also on my neck, décolleté, and the back of my hands. Does Agency give you enough product to cover all of that?

[@pabikarai6680]

I need to know how these products need to be used. At which step? Can they be used together? What's the frequency of use? Is it before or after the moisturizer??

[@miranaomyberube1400]

So according to what you said about tyrosinase and copper, does it mean that copper based serums wilk contribute to dark spots/uneven skin tone…?

[@Namnu.]

I was really looking for this cuz of pih

[@Amandaplease1989]

Is retinol recommended for teenagers? I’m wondering if it’s too strong for my teen with a lot of acne.

[@somacarr7528]

I react to vit C. If I take a vit c ester would that be better? I heard the ester is a less intense. I also have a a fresh 6 inch scar form a having a skin cancer removed I was told to use the vit C on the incision in a few weeks to help it not scar.

[@tamaraprice5258]

What is the best sunscreen with vit c for very acne prone skin types?

[@dimplekunwar1496]

Can you review murad brightning vit c with glycolic acid cream?

[@Messinky]

Are hybrid sunscreen good for acne prone skin....???

[@feeltheillinois]

would kojic acid work for dark marks from pressure sores like on the elbows?

[@donnabee1965]

Hey Cassandra come to Montreal and let’s hang out ❤

[@khushipreet393]

❤️❤️thank you

[@ptowey5298]

So does copper peptide help form tyrosine?

[@bewilder88]

Acne can be an internal problem most of the times...so no matter how many creams and lotions one tries it won't help. Beauty comes from within so lets not get people confused and spend a lot of money on useless products that can cause even more problems.

[@jaedhalaptiste1924]

Can you review John legend skincare line?

[@fabygoo]

Cassandra, what can I do for melasma 😩😔

[@naimakhan5934]

Vitamin c breakme out please some good vitamin c for acne

[@couchpotato4608]

But what about tranexamic acid? 🤔

[@lonelyboyxo]

Nothing about my gal Tranexamic Acid 🥺

[@user-ep7il9ey5f]

😅

[@aviadler.]

God I love you 😘

[@Account-xm6vj]

the CONSTANT "agency agency agency get custom shit from agency!" was reeeally annoying on this one. Where have you disclosed that this is a paid promotion?

[@anniina2253]

Can you use alpha arbutin, vitamin c and codic acid all at the same time? I have melasma and it's getting bad, I work outside and it gets bad even with sunscreen, help 👀🫶☀️
