I have the Neutrogena Hypdro boost. I purchased it a long time ago when I first started watching Dr Dray. I’m almost to the end and I will not repurchase. BC as you said there are many other good dupes out there.

[@314barrocal]

A great better "dupe" for the neutrogena water cream, for us Brazilians (thank God 🙌🏼) is from the (also) Brazilian brand Natura, which is cruelty free, treats people ans the environment right... The Natura Chronos Acqua Biohidratante Renovador, has hyaluronic acids and prebiotics from plants from the Amazon rainforest... I LOVE it ❤️

Hey Cassandra big fan this side. I am suffering from a skin disease and I don't know what is it. What happen is my face becomes patchy and dry during winters. These white patches are so dry and I feel like my skin is shedding. I visited many doctor but none of their suggested medicine helped me out. Some says that it's nothing just calcium deficiency. Some says that it's due to dandruff. They would recommend me face washes, shampoos,and face creams that are so expensive. And that okay but the problem is none of these helped me out. So I am here .you are so knowledgeable and I think can help me out. Reply soon winters are about to come and I don't want to suffer again.

I think the whole ‘hush hush don’t talk about naturium’ is so shady in the skincare world and that thumbnail was clickbait when you did not go into it how you feel about the brand when you feel so free to give your opinion on others. This is the reason why being part of a ‘community’ is not a good idea when you are doing reviews of products from that community. Don’t mention the brand at all if you don’t want go into the shadiness of the launch or just say you are too biased to give an honest opinion. But to actually recommend a product from them without going into the brand in A VIDEO ABOUT BRANDS AND PRODUCTS...just no.

Dear Cassandra, I am a MD myself (not dermatologist though). First, GREAT JOB of explaining highly complex physiological issues so nicely, comprehensive and simple! Also, I love your sense of humor, so, keep doing this! My question is whether you could have a video on solely organic, no plastic cosmetics, including sunscreen. I am a passionate environmentalist, having a daughter myself, and strongly believing that our actions need to change in order to preserve this planet for the future generations. Could you also maybe recommend more no plastic products? I live in Switzerland and no plastic products are quite expensive, however for me it is worth to invest in. Could you please explain the formulas of organic, no plastic sunscreens? Thank you so much for your work! Best wishes, Tatiana

I couldn't even sleep because of the itchiness and inflammation... And now 8 years later my skin is still not back to normal because the barrier is compromised and it has no immunity, so it's extremely sensitive, reactive, dehydrated, I have steroid rosacea (I even got ocular rosacea), I have to spend so much time and money to take care of it. And when I found about the steroids in the cream, on the thread where everybody was discussing there were people complaining of systemic reactions (when the steroid gets absorbed by the body because of prolonged use) - some of them had been hospitalised with Cushing Syndrome.

And yes, I'm one of those small sellers, but it's how I was able to figure it all out, and come share with you all, so enjoy! (Oh, and don't buy from overseas. Refine location and thank me later, as Cass would say 🤣)

You're still supporting drunk elephant by buying them indirectly from another seller

[@JamieNotLamie]

@@jetsofaqua2206 not exactly. Stores will purchase products from companies to sell. Let's say sephora buys a whole bunch of product, then a year later the packaging gets redesigned, or it's just too old to comply with their personal guarantees. These stores then lose out on their purchases by selling to liquidation companies that these people purchase with their hard earned money, hoping to flip it for slightly more, in order to put food on the table. These sellers will buy it regardless. My money goes to the seller, and they buy their kids Christmas presents. The chain of command is so far removed, that it's not a direct correlation. My money did not go to drunk elephant. The stores are the ones investing in them, and losing out because not enough people bought it in the store. So then the profit margin in turn goes to the sellers at eBay, mercari, poshmark, etc. But still, my point is that it's much better if anyone is determined on buying/trying something from an immoral company, to hand their money to a small business online then the company itself. It's still the lesser evil regardless, then again as an eBay seller that supports my family by selling things I buy from store closeouts, I am probably bias. But I do understand what you're saying.

[@ninjabrown8560]

Literally yes! Try and buy second hand if possible, I bought a skinfix baby lotion for £4 BRAND NEW UNOPENED while the RRP was 5 x the cost of that. Love me some depop hehe

[@caitieeeee]

@@jetsofaqua2206 noooo products off of ebay could easily be out of date or fake. be careful buying skincare off the grey market.

[@JamieNotLamie]

@@caitieeeee sellers are required to post the expiration, though some products don't have it, they may have a batch code which I usually look up but then again I'm savvy on product research already. Regardless, eBay has a money back guarantee, you demand an instant return if they don't lost the right date. It's not 2005 eBay anymore.

being mean to customers is what chased me away from z-palette - I can no longer support Drunk Elephant BTW - this was such a fun video / thanks for providing dupes

[@ange9057]

I wish Neutrogena went cruelty free. I love this one specific face wash and I tried many others, but I always come back to this one. It just works so well for me.

[@Miumiu0404]

Please do a full brand review of the Naturium. They've got so many good products that I'm genuinely curious and intrigued. Are they a good dupe for Paula's Choice?

[@kendallstark4302]

I just have a feeling that Cassandra won't support it because of how Susan Yara went about its launch. I get that it wasn't the best way to do it, but Susan has since apologized. If Naturium shipped internationally, I'd definitely buy their products, because I truly believe in the advice Susan gives. From this video and others, Cassandra doesn't give second chances (that's her right, don't get me wrong).

[@Miumiu0404]

@@kendallstark4302 So scandal aside, I just wonder if the products are actually worth it. I've seen a few videos of Naturium being compared to Paula's Choice but they lack the depth of analysis Cassandra does.

[@andre.moonlight]

Doll Face I haven’t tried Paulas Choice aside from the salicylic acid exfoliant but I also have the Naturium’s salicylic acid exfoliant (I don’t know if they’re dupes) I honestly have liked all the products I’ve gotten from Naturium nothing to complain about from me

[@a49-n2o]

I didn't expect these better dupes to be mentioned gosh THANK YOU!!

[@manuelcampos5169]

I looove the ufo oil, I'm excited to try that dupe 😜

[@martasoltys9091]

I know this video was 3 years ago, but this is one of your best videos. I like that you like some products from brands you hate b/c it means you TRY THINGS. It means your opinions are honest through trial and error; the most scientific process. I also dislike ST. Ives but I like that you found something you like and that there are other products similar to it. I've never heard of Saturday Skincare so thanks for that, too. More videos like this one please. For example. I want to use Pacifica and Cocokind but unfortunately, I'm not in my 20's. While nice, they are just not good enough. Clean skincare must include people over 35.

[@isoutoforbit]

I'm so glad SOMEONE of the big skincare youtubers broke their silence on Naturium.

I hate how Susan has escaped from the issue. Channel like Beauty Within, Jadey still work with it

[@andreinadovalles-rodriguez8239]

I think your videos are the only ones I watch from beginning to end. I love how informative your videos are 🥰 you don't know how much all this information has helped me to fix my acne situation 😬

[@gianninal5455]

Can you tell me how you learned that the salicylic acid in the Dermalogica oil is 2%? I'm not seeing that clearly on the product page. I too am looking for something to replace the SR UFO which was a HG for me and was able to sample the one from A. Florence skincare from a US based retailer a year ago but it looks like they no longer carry it and it doesn't seem that AFS ships to the US. I see the brand Votary also has a similar product but it contains tamanu oil, which despite my research showing it benefits acne prone skin, my skin seems to disagree.

[@federica9769]

I do have a hard time supporting Naturium though (at least for now, and from what I have seen), given the fact that the founder did "cheat and lie" about it, when there were better ways to introduce the skincare line to the public. The fact that it is Susan Yara's brand isn't a reason for me to use double standards.

[@cheyennesromero2396]

Oo could you do a video all about kylie skin dupes that are the same thing as her products but actually really good for your skin!?

[@gabrielleburr3037]

Tbh Naturium is really good. I've tried several of their products and they're thoughtfully formulated. They could have charged more for their products if they wanted too but I'm glad they went the affordable route.

[@CarrieJessica]

Also, I really hope you share what you learn on the nitty gritty of the Sunday Riley drama. Other than being over priced I never saw poor reviews so the whole thing was so unnecessary even from a shady business perspective.

what you say at 10:25 you can see the st ives actually has HA next ingredient in the list right after the watermelon extract. see that at 9:51
