You calling La Roche Posay “La Roachy Popo” is extra funny to me because popo means butt in my main language XD

[@nathhhjjjlll]

also popó in spanish is poop

[@Amyjwashere]

Good to know

[@nataliesutherland5584]

The only thing that I liked from la Roche posey is the foaming cleanser everything else was trash also didn't know they weren't cruelty free until someone told me and cruelty free products are all I want but I'm using it up

[@heidimargaret306]

Hi, popo is slang for police 😀 in some parts of the US

[@scienceislove2014]

​@@nataliesutherland5584 exactly .. i also don't buy stuff from brands that test on animals

[@GoldenKoiFish]

One of the reason I love K-Beauty. They're affordable and ingredients are quality! I saved so much money. Thanks for the dupes!

[@msk-qp6fn]

One thing I do dislike though it that plenty of them tend to make different versions for overseas and korea and make the korean version less effective for a higher price

[@tayelalsyoufimuhammad5127]

And the fact that La Roche posay supports genocide by Israel, so literally la Roche popo

[@cindyvasconcelos1182]

Hello, can u make a video about Yepoda products? Thank you

[@CandyWorld30]

Yesterday at a Winners (Marshals) store I found 3 Korean beauty products that have an ingredient list that sounds amazing! Its a Jumiso serum with 41% centella and 31% aloe, and COSRX snail cream and centella cream. Extremely soothing ingredients at high concentrations at the top of the ingredient lists. I am so lucky I found them! So if youre looking for good skincare check Marshals since these skincare are usually only sold online and not any other stores.

[@avg5922]

Thank you so much for your knowledge. Since I’ve been watching your channel, my skin has improved so much and I’ve saved so much money. I have finicky skin as well and watching someone who goes through their own struggles and seems to genuinely care about their followers & being responsible about what they put out there, I can never say enough good things to people about your channel. Especially to people struggling with acne, rosacea, etc.

[@YuyiChua]

Thanks for the look into more accessible versions! Also was so nice seeing you last weekend! 💗

[@nithyachettiar2933]

Im a big fan of cosrx i have been using their products more than three years and i especially love thier ceramide balancium cream ,and its a savior of my skin and also their toner pads

[@tariai9047]

What a coincidence, I started using cosrx vitamin C serum like a week ago, and now I'm seeing the loveliest Cassandra talking about it! All I wanted to say was that when I opened it and the smell hit my nose, it took me a fat minute to recognize the smell. BUT to me, it doesn't actually smell like hotdog water, but more like that dry Ramen powder. Idk, maybe it's just me, xd Love you, Cassandra, and everything about you! ❤ thank you for YOU

[@lsu1222]

Is about time you try Numbuzin products! Kbeauty favorites❤❤❤

[@mammuchan8923]

You are adorable, and so knowledgeable , I feel such a sense of calm and happiness when I watch your videos 💜

[@annastewart1668]

Another informative video. Thank you Cassandra 👏👏

[@ashleylamb1000]

Oh I am so excited for this!!!!! ❤️💜❤️

[@Undefinedinc]

Yes!! Ingredients matter. Have a beautiful weekend Cassandra 🤍

[@msk-qp6fn]

The formula is also crucial, it elevates or kills the inci list tbh

[@liquidlino5838]

Don't forget about Numbuzin's No.5 Goodbye Blemish Serum! Have you tried this yet? I think you'd love it! xx

[@user-sj7py7lr4l]

I find that the Cosrx vitamin c serum oxidizes so quickly even when refrigerated as per instructions. Even yours was badly oxidized :/

[@lukastemberger]

I avoid any video with TikTok in the name, but fine, I'll watch it because it's you...

[@marcusmagnificus1984]

I love you Cassandra!

[@annakhachatryan4872]

Thank you for the information ❤

[@JelenaP991]

This is not Korean brand, but Geek&Gorgeous has amazing dupe for Skinceuticals. For less than 20$. Buf for Korean dupe I prefer Isntree 23% vitamin c because it doesn't have any weird scent

[@Muh-Rang]

I use G&G retinal! Its a great formula for a great price

[@ninjajohanna]

Yes I've heard about them but i never tried, am eager to though!

[@heidikamrath1951]

I like Timeless Vit C (+E and ferrulic). Inexpensive, small US brand that has frequent sales. I also love their CoQ10.

[@bribaam5574]

I use this vitamin C from corsx on my acne-prone skin and it is perfect!

[@camilla5702]

Actually in Europe we have a law that forbids testing cosmetics on animals (since 2004), both finished products and single ingredients. So if a product is made in France I can assure you it's not tested on animals. Sorry for my English, love from Italy 💚

[@lennemitincan]

They still do it overseas. LRP is not cruelty free

[@msk-qp6fn]

The issue is when they export those products

[@auroramediaPC]

Can you do a video on tanning lotions? I’m curious about tan luxe, but I know there’s more cost effect tanners out there….. would really really want your opinion before trying. 😅

[@margaret9539]

Thanks for that video. I was on the lookout for a new vit c serum. I tried Timeless but it just seems ok.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I'm using Timeless 20% and I'm on my third bottle. It's the only active I've added to my skincare and my sun damage is about 75% better. I just ordered the mega bottle. Before Timeless I tried Maelove, Paula's Choice and Murad.

[@heidikamrath1951]

@@surpriseitsus9622I’m on my third bottle of the Timeless 20% Vit C as well. I love it. Large opaque glass bottle, airless pump and it stays fresh and clear. I HATE dropper bottles, so this is a big win for me!

[@everangel95]

Would love a review of vanicream as it is cruelty free now

[@wiwing18]

Hi Cassandra, you might want to try the products from the brand Skintific. It's really good and a lot of people swear by it too. It's made in Korea.

[@lalystar4230]

Hiya Cassandra! I wonder if you're the person to ask, probably so, even if you don't have very dry skin, but I have pretty dry skin, especially around the mouth, nose and cheeks, as well as possibly rosacea? around/on the cheekbones. I've been doing a lot of moisturizing those areas more recently (As I got into skincare again more recently, before that it was just cerave moisturizing lotion with spf and whenever my skin felt dry or the 2 hrs were up i'd reapply), Mainly with a water mister/pure water with a a bit of glycerin, as well as the ordinary marine hyaluronics before putting on the moisturizer. and now I suddenly seem to have a few red bumps that seem like break outs which I haven't had in forever. (I'm 39 currently). So I was wondering, can hydrating the skin cause the break outs, or would it simply be one of the ingredients I'd be reacting to and should I try switching to other products with the same function instead? or do I use like a aha/bha peel every so often, while keeping the hydrating step, as it does seem to help with the dry skin. (Skin is currently not as dry after washing my face. (Before it was like very flaky 15 mins after washing and drying, even if washing with only water in the morning), now it's still a little flaky, but defo not as much. So anyway tl;dr can to much hydration cause break outs, is pretty much what I want to ask I suppose haha.

[@jassy7611]

“hot dog water” 😅

[@alunamoths]

My skin burned, and my eyes stung whenever I've used the CosRX vitamin c serum 😅

[@skylatabara2815]

COSRX k beauty is the best for me ❤❤❤

[@miniflicksz]

I thought "Gluey Dough" was another new thing that I should to get on to just like "Glass Skin" xD

[@justling7]

your cosrx vit C is already orangy. i'd be anxious about its effectiveness at that shade.

[@user-sj7py7lr4l]

Yeah its pretty oxidized already. I used 2 bottles of the serum and both times they would oxidize badly after a few weeks, even with refrigeration.

[@kendraross919]

Cassandra I would love to know what dupe you would have for Biossance Marine Algae Eye Cream if there is a cheaper option I would love to know! :D

[@SilverWolfSword89]

Cassandra, would you recommend olive young web store? I am trying to decide from where to order my first Korean skin care.. I know Stylevana shipping takes time...

[@G_17.]

We NEED videos of you vloging your treatments and products to others as an aesthetistician!!!!🎉 like if we were in aesthetic school 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jacquelinerios-granados3692]

Any way you can shed some light to the TSW and any additional info or thoughts on the subject :) I would love to hear what you have to say

[@Lazychick83]

I think my first kbeauty brand was skinfood or tony moly 4 ther super adorable packaging. I live purple packaging, so can u do a roundup on all the purple ackaging or if he serum is purple, I think that would be fun.

[@nataliesutherland5584]

Cosrx is amazing

[@user-kc9dr9ly6x]

What are your opinions on this new DIY Micro infusion Qure Skincare?

[@NurseHallauer]

I feel like no one talks about RNW. I’ve been really liking a couple of their products. I believe they’re Korean and vegan as well as cruelty free.

[@xsydkate]

Does anyone know a cruelty free dupe for the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate?

[@user-yu8jg7lx5z]

Can you do a review on Monat please? A lot of girls in Nz&Aus are swearing up&down, black&blue about how amazing it is. Is it really though? Tia

[@lolamurder1882]

Monat is a multi-level marketing company. The people who rave about it are the ones who are trying to sell it and recruit people to sell it under them. They are overpriced and you can find much better products without getting involved in what equates to a product-based pyramid scheme.

[@ritamorris1175]

Do you have a video of your daily skincare?😊

[@ilzevanrensburg3239]

Just love your videos...so informative!!!! Thank you so much... I would just like more videos!!! You just make my day! I prefer Korean product to Western. Just my opinion... hope you are doing well ❤😊

I bet you won’t get a lot of wrinkles and fine lines because of all the products and sunscreen you use

[@sarahsnow9088]

🦋 @CassandraBankston 🦋 can you please do a review of the "new" at home "safe" microneedle system and LED face mask made by the company called Qure that plastic surgeons and dermatologists here on KZbin, that you have recommended for us to watch their videos before, have been promoting recently? It's apparently a use the needles to distribute the serum once and then throw away the needles plus the serum bottle that it is attached to. The company is now promoting their LED mask to be used either with or without the microneedle system and as a beautiful butterfly 🦋 I want to know if this system could be a good idea for those of us who can't afford professional services as often as we should try to. ❤

[@lindanancyyi]

girl math is getting dupes so you can spend more to get more products!!

[@lennemitincan]

The Laroche Posay serum mentionned is 45 euros on their website. Not drugstore.

[@notsomuchthankyou]

I know you like Perricone MD, but I've tried their Skin Brightening, Dark Spot Corrector Vitamin C as well as their Cold Plasma + and I disliked them immensely. My skin was at the worst its been with these products added. I don't have sensitive skin. I've used Skincyuticals (nope can't spell it) Vitamin C (agree its hot dog water and way too pricey), Sunday Riley Vitamin C, etc - lots of different brands. I use a retinoid almost nightly... I should have no issues, but Perricone is very clogging to me and I didn't love them. [For the record, I bought during Christmas sales, they were $25 and $99. I still don't think they're worth it.]

[@inainoslo3011]

Hey so the cosrx has a 2 month shelf life and I have kept mine in the fridge since I opened it 3 months ago, can I still use it? My fridge is like super cold and milk can last a month past expiration date so why not this product. The color has always been kinda yellow so super hard to know if oxidation has happened. Anyone know and can answer me that would be great thanks 😊

[@ninjajohanna]

It's no problem to use, it won't hurt you but it gets less efficient when it oxidizes 🧡

[@Yvario]

Quacking hotdog water!

[@riankyoca]

I use the COSRX VitC, but it feels oily. Is it really water soluble ?? I don't know why I'm doubting you lol but it's oily. Love yaaa!

[@SleeplessBeauty_Alexandra]

I thought she said the Skinceuticals is water soluble and the cosrx oil soluble?

[@suzsiz]

Cosrx vit C serum has palm oil in it. Comedegenic and bad for environment. Other than that they have some great and affordable products. I prefer Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum. Its more expensive but contain similar ingredients as the Skinceutical one.

[@farhanachowdhory8769]

Hey love ... There's something that's bothering about BHT being present in lip masks as preservative. Is it something to avoid or it's negligible?Some says to avoid lip products that has BHT.And I'm confused now ..😢😢😢

[@inhate-loverelationshipswi5413]

A meh to me not super great but not the end of the world I mean it is common preservative that ppl are allergic too but if you are not someone who allergic to anything easily I wouldn't mind it (although allergy could be develop so if you are super nervous or super allergy-prone avoiding it might be a better choice)

[@farhanachowdhory8769]

@@inhate-loverelationshipswi5413 Thank you for your insight on this.

In Spanish to say: la Roche popo is to say: la Roche 💩 I don't know if it is understood the same way in English. It was fun big sister!!😅

[@ZoeMartinezParis]

La Rocha posay is definetely not the price of the ordinary non in France non in Europe. It’s few dollars cheaper.

[@msk-qp6fn]

So recently I bought some Holika Holika stuff and one of them was their aloe lotion, and man it's good! By the way, the aloe line's lotion and gel are now certified vegan.

Be careful, although you tolerate bergamot in the Biossance dupe, it cause photosensitivity.

i hope you make a video on indian pharmacy or generic products they are good and really cheap too, even indians themselves are sleeping on it .

[@carolinaconstable1294]

Pure’Am is to expensive for my budget. I find them as a Korean product that chooses to not sell through major sale distributors such as YesStyle or Stylevanna or Style Korean then you are already to exclusive for me. Their Serum to purchase in Australia is $78 yeah…… thanks but that’s a NO for me. CORSRX are brilliant and I I love them!

[@estelaverde4909]

I used the whole bottle of Cosrx vitamin C and it did absolutely nothing to my skin. A huge disappointment, I don't recommend this product. A dupe can have the same or similar ingredients but it's the formula as a whole that matters in the end.

[@MISGummiBears]

Did the color change? Was it clear to very pale yellow or very yellow-orange or opaque?

[@janwolf843]

Your ideas are super! But if you could talk a little slower, just a bit, it would help me a lot! Thank you for all your work into finding great dupes.

Me when she said you could get Perricone at Marshall’s “WHY WOULD YOU TELL THEM!!”

[@morgianasartre6709]

Have to disagree with the take on brand stories and their importance, they are all just feel good fairytales, the brands blowing smoke up your bum to seem more relatable. Every brand was started with the sole purpose of making money and frills were added later. I appreciate a brand just being honest about it, making good products and providing good customer service.
