[@paulp1a]

Have him take panotethic acid(sp) otherwise known as vitamin b5. Take twice the recomended dosage with each meal. Do this for a month and watch the acne dissapear. Your welcome

[@Ltchg]

you are such a good dad.im 16 and struggling with bad acne, the only thing my dad tells me is “its going to go away”

[@FEARisCOLD]

@@Ltchg You are still young , don't lose hope. Most people do grow out of it. It's mostly hormones at your age. It'll change in time. Regardless, don't let it run your life. Enjoy being a kid. I wouldsay, stay away from those Neutrogena acne pad type things. Don't dry your face out. Keep it clean, use a natural oil to hydrate it a couple a times a day. I noticed this worked for my son. Not completely gone but clears up and comes back a little less.

No joke you have taught me so much more about my acne than any dermatologist. I just saw a dermatologist last week, and he was a younger guy, and when it came to my breakouts all he said was that as an adult it's just hormones so there isn't much you can do. He didn't ask about my skincare routine, he didn't discuss diet and lifestyle with me, and he didn't make any recommendations for what to use/not use. Needless to say I won't be bringing up acne to doctors anymore. It's completely useless!

[@daughterofislam2457]

Aly Marie I've seen doctors who know the diet is an issue but they still won't even discuss it because that would eliminate the medications list, which unfortunately some if not most doctors sign contracts with pharmaceutical companies to come up with new names and excuses to prescribe new medications to try it on patients to gain more money!!!

I am so beyond happy for you Cassandra!! I have been following you for years now since the beginning and my journey has been so so similar to yours. After 7 dermatologists I quit and started experimenting and learning more about our body and natural treatments. I tried all the pills and ointments and it makes me mad that doctors never acknowledged that diet was such a big part. Going vegan is the biggest change that cleared my skin. Two years of being vegan has cured so much in my body. I had awful acne just like you did and I'm so glad I have had you through this whole process to "hold my hand". I would try something and then watch a video and find you trying or supporting the same thing. I love you so so much! I truly hope this video is shared far and wide and we save others from this stressful and frustrating journey. Even if you don't have acne just being aware of diet and toxins can help so much.

Cassandra, you are literally incredible. I have been following your channel probably since 2012 and have followed and been inspired by your journey the entire time.This video has given me so much hope and I am SO grateful that you have not only taken the time to educate yourself, but also educate others through these videos. I am so excited to start my own personal journey of clearing my acne!!

Cassandra, I feel that we have been on a very similar path. I remember watching your video when you first exposed your skin and fears on your channel about 6 or 7 years ago. It's so beautiful to see your personal growth and where you are today. I'm proud of you, your courage and your greater calling to share your story with others. Keep it up girl, it's beautiful to see you in your power and watch you radiate with self love!

I wish I could just have a conversation with you. Suddenly in my 30s I have painful LARGE cystic acne. I look like I have boils all over my face, it hurts, I feel ugly, never wear makeup at all any more. Just ashamed of my self. I bawled through this whole video. Thank you for being so honest.

Hi Tiffany, Have you tried Spironolactone? This sounds like hormonal acne to me.

[@shirleylum2198]

I think someone should hire you to help people with skin problems. You are such an inspiration! I had skin problems when I was in my late teen years and the acne ended after I had my first child. I also, am very sensitive to chemicals and I don't wear any makeup or be near people who pour lotions or perfumes on themselves. I truly understand what you mean when you say "toxin people". I had to give them up as well. My skin has been great over years, but I do get hives when I cause myself to be overly stressed unnecessarily. Thank you so much for sharing and you are like a bright star giving people hope with their skin problems.

i got emotional watching this. i've been suffering from acne for almost 8 years it really affect my self confidence this helps a lot. thank you for this

[@Aino171]

I'm really glad someone like you decided to make a video on clearing acne and highlighting that products are a tiny part of the process. This video NEEDS to be seen by all the people suffering from acne out there. I can relate so much to this. I've been dealing with acne since I was like 14 and it didn't go away after puberty or adolescence, it only got worse and worse, no matter how many products I tried. And I refused to take medication for it or birth control pills, I used to say to people: I'd rather live my whole life with acne than taking birth control in order to keep it in check. The moment it started to heal is when I took a radical decision : I will not cover my face with make-up anymore, this is who I am and if you don't like my face, just don't look at it. The idea that I can only feel beautiful when my real face is covered up was kind of killing me inside. So I stopped doing make-up and instead applied a bit of cream mixed with tea-tree oil everyday on the affected areas of my face, because I wanted something natural. After a few months you could see the difference but I was still having eruptions. So I started to work out and to pay attention to what I'm eating, reduce meat, reduce diary and fat, eat vegetarian as much as I could. And on top of that, I got recommended to a nice cleanser for acne prone skin, a professional one and I replaced my tea-tree oil with that and it actually was the right product for me. The only one I'm using. Really practical for traveling, by the way. :) All of that combined got me to a point where I can proudly look at my face in the mirror. I still get acne here and there from time to time but nothing compared to how it was before. And I only apply make up to my face for very special occasions, maybe once or twice a year. Destressing was also important, since I used to be quite an angry person, always frustrated about everything. I do think the key is starting to get comfortable in your skin, become at peace with yourself. When you get on that road, everything just starts falling into place, suddenly you have the energy to work out, to prepare healthy meals for yourself, to meditate, to do research and come across great ideas. Really enjoyed looking at your video and so happy to confirm that what I did out of instinct is proven to be true and works for other people too. We don't need to intoxicate ourselves with pills in order to do this. Cheers!

[@ronarona1136]

just wanted to say that, the part where you explained how you started to control your life and make your self feel worthy and like you deserve to put your self first. It meant so much to me to the point where I felt like this is a massage for me and this is the answer to my happiness. I literally go to sleep every night feeling bad and guilty for so many things and now I’ve realized I don’t even think of myself and how I deserve to go to sleep feeling okay about my day and about me for once. So thank you and I needed to hear that someone has gone through it as well and is now over it and happy.(I’m 16 from Israel, hope my English is okay 🥰)

-Don’t wash your face 2x a day - Use more natural products - Reduce the use of makeup and use brands you know won’t break you out - Clean hands and clean brush when doing makeup - Don’t consume soy - Go raw vegan - Eat Whole Foods and veggies - switch to natural laundry detergent - Cut perfume out - Switch to a natural pillow - Stop stressing

It will also take a very long time, more than a year to actually see a consistent improvement!!! read the reviews, scroll down. I have suffered more than half of my life, taken roaccutane like three times high doses, etc etc, and only when I started to take control of my life and changing my habits was when I finally started to see an improvement, no antibiotic no accutane, etc. just Diet, minerals, IVS etc!!!!

I'm so happy for you, you're glowing beautifully. Also, thank you for your inspirational words... for teaching your viewers to love yourself, with or without acne... I don't have acne but last year, I've been diagnosed with psoriasis... it was so bad on my face when it first started... my face is clear as of now but I still get patches in my body every now and then...

I had severe cystic acne from 18 to 21, went on Accutane and before my wedding had a couple of cysts and at 28 went on Accutane again. Right before my wedding I had collagen injections and my pics come out great. I have two kids, who are 24 and 19, I did fat transplants (taken from my side, injected into my face, and so many other treatments). I’m 55 now and over the years since my last cystic breakout in 1991, I’ve been very blessed with no major breakouts, and if I feel a pimple coming or a deep cyst that doesn’t come out, I run to the dermatologist and get it injected and it goes away in a day. I wanted to thank you for your honest sharing, you brought me back to a dark time in my life that I forgot. My face was so bad I used to wear a scarf around my face, when my face cleared up my confidence came back and it was actually the toughest time in my life. I’m convinced my acne was totally stress and drug related (I did a lot of drugs from 13 to 21). Happy to say I got straight in 1985 and life was beyond my wildest dream! So, thank you again, your a beautiful girl!!

Thank you for your videos Cassandra! (by the way, my name's Cassandra too! 😊) I have clear skin now like you, no more cystic acne!

[@amysteriousviewer3772]

I dont't know about that honestly. I used to believe diet was the most important thing too but then you have those people who basically eat whatever the hell they want and they have perfect skin all the time. Also taking into consideration that only a minorty of people have acne but the majority of people have a bad diet. If diet was the main factor I think more people would have acne, especially adults.

Because of the sugar and milk. Normal chocolate(dark, dairy free) is good for me. Also soy is making me break out but I don't eat soy anymore.

The problem with dermatologists in America is they just keep giving you harsher and harsher medication for acne instead of figuring out the root of the problem I delt with acne in high school and college and my doctor kept just giving me stronger medication which made my skin worse.
