Honestly your channel has kept my mental health at bay…. Struggled with acne all over my face & isolated for over a year….. I dont know how I would have gotten through this time in my life without you, Cass. Seriously have been at the lowest of lows & I really believed I was disgusting & became truly self conscious about my appearance in a way that destroyed me…. You being real with your struggles & modeling the love you should be feeling for yourself has helped me try to do the same. It’s been such a hard time, I even have been battling with suicidal tendencies…. I’m rambling… anyways, thanks for being there & being consistent. One of the only consistent things in my life atm.

[@CassandraBankson]

Elizabethhh I love you. I don’t know exactly how you feel but I know how acne has made me feel. It’s so surreal to think that the thing that almost destroyed me is also something that has brought me so close to the people I care about most, including you. I love you and I hope you know that you are supported and appreciated here 💙💕🦋🖤🦄

I had near perfect skin my entire life, until 2 yrs postpartum. By 3 yrs postpartum I had full on cystic acne. I had three vanities, my skin, my perky DD’s and my long curly hair. I’ve lost all three and had to learn to be ok with that. The perky DD’s were easiest bc I lost the perkiness feeding my child and that’s like their job. I’m actually proud of these deflated nanas bc they put in 5 yrs of being milk machines. Losing my perfect skin and the hair loss have been the hardest. Ppl always complimented me on those things so I was vain about them. I’ve gotten my skin cleared up quite a bit (which was super hard bc I have very dry skin & hormonal acne, and for awhile finding anything for my skin type was near impossible) but not so much luck with my hair. I’m trying micro needling so I’ll see if that works. For now I’m buying a wig in a fun color. Maybe I’ll buy multiple wigs in multiple fun colors. But srsly if I could give any advice, don’t base to much of your self esteem on anything physical bc we tend to eventually loose it. It’s just life and age, and if you’re like me, bc of chronic illness. I know I’m working on liking the physically imperfect me, it’s been a lifelong task and maybe loosing those things I was vain about will actually help me get there.

I'm enjoying watching your videos! For me, my acne was 100% hormonal and b/c was the only thing that helped. Nothing OTC. I wasn't allowed to go on b/c pills when I was a teen because of my mom's views on various things. She made me go for the alternative: a prescription drying gel of some sort that did absolutely nothing for my hormonal pimples but made my skin peel. But I made the choice myself in my late 20's-->early 30's to use b/c. & it worked like a charm.

My skin seems to prefer SA in wash off treatments. If I use a leave on treatment with SA, my skin, while does become smoother and "glowy," tends to forever be tender and ready to have cystic acne. I think it's because most of my acne are basically big sebum plugs/filaments so the SA melting them in my pores and my pores constantly creating sebum makes it a never ending issue.

I like the succinic acid spot treatment, but definitely have to start using it as the pimple appears and have to use it for a few days to notice it decreasing, but it does seem to prevent it from becoming more inflamed. But yeah the zinc oxide diaper rash creams I have used in the past a lot :D wish they weren't so fucking greasy.

What product

[@kayd.1600]

I personally would put Proactiv at “at least it’s skincare.” It actually worked pretty well for me when I used it and it was my first introduction to the world of multi-step skincare routines. I had a customized kit: I used their “gentle” cleanser (a less abrasive physical exfoliant), I forget what toner I used, and the last step was the salicylic moisturizer, which was surprisingly far better and less irritating to me than their famous green tea moisturizer. While I wish they did this with eco-friendly packaging, I think the fact that they would auto-ship you refills really helped with habit-building, especially with my ADHD and mental health being as bad as it was. I’ve actually heard they switched to biodegradable alternatives to microbeads in recent years, which, hey cool I guess! I wouldn’t use it now, but I still think it’s overall…not the worst thing I ever put on my face? But please keep in mind that I was using it in tandem with other, better products for my skin’s other needs (hydration, moisturizing, sunscreen, etc).

I started spironolactone 2 weeks ago after your endorsement of it. I've been offered accutane multiple times over the past 15 years and have always refused it. My skin is Uber oily but never broken out until the past year. I'll update if it helps with acne and oil production over time!

Proactive is what made my cystic acne go though 😬 made my skin strip like crazy but was worth the results

As a longterm acne sufferer, I definitely feel broken... 💔

[@mijalakis3]

I currently use a Cerave Foaming face wash twice a day, I moisturize with Cerave Pm at night time and during the day I use Eucerin Daily Protection Spf 30, sometimes when I notice Im getting more breakouts I switch my morning face wash to the Oil Free Neutrogena Face wash with SA, but the star of the show is Tretinoin, I already finished my retinization process, I use it daily now I don't get irritation or anything like that. I have noticed that if I wake up with a pimple when I put y Tretinoin before going to sleep next day I will barely have anything. In keeping things simple and it's working, my oil production has reduced, I do own a The Ordinary Niacinamide serum and sometimes in the daytime I apply it before my sunscreen and is amazing, it enhances the oenetration of the spf and literally if feels weightless on your skin. I don't use the Niacinamide often because my PM Cerave has Niacinamide in it. I have a Hydration night mask from Simple and I use it every other day, it is a very light weight sort of water gel that penetrates really fast, gives you a dewy look but it is not sticky whatsoever. I do get my ocasional pimples, never like Cassandra but I did struggle a bit and now my skin is brighter, my texture is better etc.

I tried the salicylic acid cleanser so hard I really tried to love it but no. So « gentle » i felt it didnt clean my skin. Never got an effect of my face. I could have tried on my body great idea !

Make a tier list on moisturizers! Love your vids!

Another question about Retinols: what do you think about about Clinical 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment and Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment from Paula’s Choice? It’s a Retinol (brand) pretty easy to find in EU!

Just ordered my inkey products so excited to get it.

[@amy-bethtaylor2656]

Random but I think it's a good video idea: Is sun dammage reversible? And how to prevent it? I don't know if I have sun damage or to what degree but when I was younger I HATED how pale I was so I tanned every summer. I even used petroleum jelly or other grease to intensify my tan 💔. Now that I'm older I protect my skin and regret doing that to myself.

[@Purple_haired_cleric]

I didn't use many acne-fighting products. I used the BP from Galderma (prescribed) and my skin would just get flakey and dry. It got a bit better after my derm gave me a lower percentage. I now use the azelaic acid from Azclear. It's decent. It gets rid of the pimple quite effectively (for me) but it does make me feel a bit itchy and balls up if I rub it after application. Due to that, I would not use the azelaic acid in the morning since it's gonna get messy with the sunscreen. 🤔

😱😱😱 I actually love clinique moisture surge moisturizer

[@shawna9678]

Honestly, I suffered with huge amounts of acne last year and this year. I have finally got a handle on it. My skincare routine is incredibly detailed and pinpoints exactly where I need things. Salicylic was actually next to tragic for my acne. I have sensitive, dry and acne prone skin. So that was tough to treat. I’ve basically just taken a pretty gentle approach to my skincare and to really listen to my skin. I know that my chin cannot take any strong ingredients, neither can my neck or my under eyes. So I keep everything gentle but deliberate. My acne is completely gone and has been gone for months. I attribute it to still using and enjoying skincare but being very picky about what I’m using in one day. If I go too far, my skin will explode the next day. And once it explodes, it’s so hard to bring it back.
