I hope Cassandra is the first dermatologist/cosmetic surgeon that doesn't charge much to remove scars. Hopefully she accepts insurances too. She'd be the first to change the world.

[@shonaatthedisco]

Surely it's up to the insurance company to decide whether or not they'd cover it?

Accutane is the onlt thing working for me now

[@HeinrichLAURENT]

I have adult acne and I'm using The ordinary retinol 1% in squalane at night, wash my face with Aloe Vera gel in the morning following by The Ordinary Salicylic 2% with CeraVe facial lotion and sometime The Ordinary Sunscreen 30 SPF - None of these products are supposed to be comedogenic but I still breakout.. I'm not sure if it's a purging caused by the retinol or if I just need to stop using all product. Because I rarely get pimple under my beard where I don't use any products but I get some in my jaw and all the face area where i apply the products..

[@taslimkhan7530]

Heinrich LAURENT may be u need doctor help

[@cindi7228]

Heinrich LAURENT just because something says non comedogenic, doesn’t mean mean that it actually is. CeraVe has Parabens as well.

[@HeinrichLAURENT]

@@taslimkhan7530 I already went on Accutane for 5 months, it worked while I was on it but my acne came back right after

[@jennifernahomi9864]

Heinrich LAURENT why don’t you do a research about face mopping? Maybe it’s about your diet

[@Isa22Cruz]

I'd say think about your diet or whether you touch that part of your face unconsciously during the day? There is also a chance that it might have to do with how a product moves on your face. If you have a beard there is a chance that if you didn't cleanse your face and beard thoroughly this would travel down to your chin and then cause buildup or breakouts.

[@MashesCreativeStudios]

Can u tell how to remove facial hair permanently without laser 😳 and i have dry skin too and that's causing wrinkles on my forehead to.... plz helppp mee

I always get acne on the side of my face where it comes into contact with my pillow.. I change my pillow case daily or every other day, I deep cleanse my skin, I've tried linin pillow cases, satin and cotton. I bought a new pillow too. This is so tiring I don't understand why I keep getting it.

[@Isa22Cruz]

Try sleeping on your back. This sounds like a really dumb suggestion but it happened to me too. I noticed I was getting more breakouts on one side of my face and this helped. Also be mindful of whether you touch that side of your face more often unconsciously during the day. Like if you're leaning on a table and resting your head/face on your hand or whatever.

[@sexyody]

Maybe the detergent or softener irritates your skin. Try to wash your pillow sheet with baby detergent.

[@EvieMolly]

Hi! Any tips for rosacea?

[@taslimkhan7530]

Yvette Alvarado do not try harsh ingredient on your face

[@Karolla-00]

azelaic acid, niacinamide (serum but I also take pills- 500mg a day), hemp seed oil. No wheat, no dairy, moderate sugar intake. Prolonged fasting (24h+) few times a week helped me a lot. I'm not 100% sure but I think taking borax also helped (google: "borax rosacea" or "ted's remedies rosacea"). Avoid harsh and drying cleansers. To remove makeup I use few drops of oil and one small pump of cleanser.

[@Isa22Cruz]

Hydrating cleansers! Shea moisture has a wonderful one the *"frankincense and myrrh facial cleanser"* its a really mild exfoliating cleanser. It works wonders for redness and irritated skin. Its super gentle and hydrating and has never broke me out either! I'd also say stay away from irritating foods like too much spice, sugars, hot sauce or coffee (sometimes) and have more anti-inflammatory foods like blue berries, ginger and turmeric :) Hope this helps!

[@Kriscarroll19]

I have the worst rosacea!!! I use the day yes to cucumber soothing milk cleanser to wash my face, and then I tone with the rose soothing toner from pixi. After that I spray my face with the thayers rose water and witch hazel spray, and while it’s still wet, I put on my moisturizer. In the morning I use a Josie maran Argan oil moisturizer with spf 47, a green correcting moisturizer from shea moisture, and then I mix in some jasmine oil from pixi. At night I just use the oil on my skin, while it’s still wet. Putting moisturizer on wet skin has been the biggest and easiest game changer in my skin. Also I never use any cleanser other than oil or milk or cream. Anything that foams is bad. And try not to over exfoliate, cause that’ll irritate, but make sure you do as much as your skin needs. I personally do maybe every other day. I use the lush dark angels scrub and it helps with those little acne rosacea bumps. Hope this helps!

[@blasepinto2279]

Blase Pinto you mean pimples leaving behind spots? If so, you can use vitamin c serum to fade it

[@patrycjat2229]

[@lol2NIGHTO]

Hi Cassandra! I would like to know if every pimples are acne. For example, I have little bumps on my skin that are visible under the light When I touch my skin, you can't feel anything, it's soft, but when I go under the light, especially on my chin area, I have little bumps. They are not hurtful, they are just there. BTW I love this serie, it's helpful and constructive:)

[@Isa22Cruz]

This sounds like it might just be a mild allergic reaction. I would say definitely have a doctor look at it.

[@sophierodrigues4507]

Those are whiteheads, clogged comedons. Try to exfoliate!

[@lol2NIGHTO]

@@sophierodrigues4507 Thank you for the feedback! I tied an exfoliant from Cattier, it's made of clay and when I exfoliate with it, the next morning I have a lot of little pimples that takes up to a week to disapear:s

[@sophierodrigues4507]

J StH you’re welcome :) try the ordinary bha + ha twice a week as an exfoliant (10min max! It’s strong!!!) and the ordinary glycolic toner also twice a week (not the same day as the other) all over your face with a cotton pad at night. If you want to step up you can use the ordinary salycic acid as an everyday exfoliant all over the face (start slow) and say goodbye to those! :) try it it works and it’s cheap!!!!!!

[@sophierodrigues4507]

J StH don’t know this one from cattier and never tried anything from them but clay is not appropriate to exfoliate. Ha and bha are. Maybe it’s just an allergic reaction. Are you having those just when you use the clay?

[@mimo5361]

Hi Cassandra, I suffer from clogged pores on my cheeks and I use AHA’s and BHA’s peels on a weekly basis yet my skin still gets clogged often. So if I’m exfoliating my skin with acids then why is it still clogging and is there some medicine that can lower the oil production in the skin just a little? My AHA peels are up to 50% and BHA up to 15%. I also use the ordinary rose hip seed oil and plant derived squalane as moistures. Please help. Thank you

[@devonmorton688]

Marcella I watched a video my LiliKoi about oil production. I think she suggested zinc supplements.

[@ingroundpool]

I get the odd pimples on my face but have never had it bad or much on my face, where I get it more is on my shoulders and my back, this has been happening for the last year and a half, I was on minocycline and that worked, I've used Retin A and it works but very harsh on the skin at times, now the acne is starting to come back, not as bad as before, but I'm upset it's still happening, even though I'm a guy, it really does effect me and I'm getting sick of it. I use oil free body wash, and just started taking cod liver oil and a Vitamin B complex supplement, I could not find straight vitamin B5 here in Canada at the store at least, this complex supplement does have B5 in it though, can anyone tell me if taking a B complex supplement works? Or should I just take B5?

[@annaartemis4359]

Hello dear from your point of view what do you think of cetaphil?. Do you think it’s good according to its ingredients?.

[@jhanvi3019]

Anna Artemis not all cetaphil products are great I think. I use vanicream cleanser and Cerave moisturizer

[@Kristinabaybee123]

Have you tried sga treatments which kill the acne from the root so it doesn’t come back

[@Piecesoftheshadow]

I can actually see what's clogging my pores. All my pores have tiny white hair like things in them. Sometimes I can pick them out, but usually I can't and it's like they need a vacuum. How the heck do I get them out so my skin can breathe?! Just looking at them makes me feel congested and gross :/

[@Piecesoftheshadow]

I've been using a mandelic acid toner for a week. Trying it 2x a week but I think it's making me break out. I just want to put a vacuum to my skin and suck everything out.

[@YogaMattersDaily]

You could get a microdermabrasion treatment where they just use a little vacuum and it sucks out all the sebum and dirt. Also using AHAs is helpful once a week to chemically exfoliate.

[@CyrilleLaurent]

Any type of acid will likely break you in the beginning. It is the purging effect. Keep using it for at least a month. A better choice is azelaic acid and salicylic acid. I explain why here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fQonSMnd9-aK8​

[@ninalind2966]

What are your thoughts on curology?

[@MarissaLaipsker]

It has been life changing in conjunction with TriNessa birth control. Cystic acne cured. Maintining a rigid skincare routine is a huge factor as well.

[@Isa22Cruz]

I tried it for a year and I think because you have to wait for a couple months to see if the product is right for you or not it became quite expensive and not worth it. Honestly, it didn't help my skin that much, it made it really dry at first and we changed the formula but still didn't quite make much of a difference. I would say take it with a grain of salt and if you're going to try it and make sure you are super open with the dermatologist that is helping you with your curology bottles (what has worked for you in the past and what hasn't). It didn't make my skin better but it didn't make my acne worse either so was it worth the extra money??? Meh I don't think so. From someone who's suffered from acne for 10+ years and is now figuring out how to control breakouts, I think your best bet is to continue learning about *your own skin* and you'll find a better way yourself. Nobody will know your skin better than you.

[@mauriciofernandez6879]

there are more types of problems confused with acne ... like negative gram-folliculitis ,,, that ironically originates from an antibiotic treatment for acne... so P. acnes is not the main problemin many cases

Hi Cassandra recently I’ve been on hormonal replacement therapy for hormonal imbalance along with antibiotics for my acne ! My dermatologist also prescribed me Accutane last week as my acnes started to leave deep scars ! What do you think about it ? All together is it too much ?

[@CyrilleLaurent]

​No, it is not too much. If you start to have scars, it is essential to consult a dermatologist. Know that Accutane will make your acne worst for 4 to 6 weeks and then it gets better. A side effect of Accutane is extreme dryness, apply plenty of moisturizers with no essential oils, no perfume, and no irritants. The perfect gel from Hada Labo is a good option. I talk about it on my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Sph4qeja9shpo

[@mxlazarus190]

It's not stupid, air condition dries out the skin so you produce more sebum hence the breakouts... So, you have to adjust your skin care routine to moisture more :)

[@Isa22Cruz]

Don't pick at them. Big pustules are inflammation so look at your diet and what you eat that might be causing more inflammation. Make sure you stay hydrated and drink lots of water. Acne can also just be a stage because of your age if you're going through puberty.

You heal your acne by diet, I think you should study nutrition, foods instead of being a dermatologist. Those things are just the symptoms and surface of actual problem. You're very smart and gorgeous.

[@jhanvi3019]

Thanh Hiền my acne went away without changing what I ate. But products are needed to help it go away as well

[@madmelody112]

Jhanvi Patel I healed my acne so many times by skin care products, but it will come back , several times. The last time I decided to change my diet, finding the root causes of it. I got healthy to heal acne. Your body is trying to tell you something, listen to it. All the videos how I heal my acne 8 years ago of some doctors always to tell you about your gut, health, none of them tell you what to put on your face. I put kefir mask and my acne gone really quick. The problem is when you put tons of chemicals on your face, it will be absorbed into your bloodstream, your liver have to work on those nasty things. What frustrates me about this modern conventional society, we all are victims of those giant cooperations, government, mainstream media. The lie we live is so big that everybody think it's true.
