I woud love if you launch a skin care line 🤗

[@djamdoudou7956]

What is your opinion on the isClinical super serum advance +?

[@linadupreez63]

I would love if you could do a video on a South African made brand of skincare called Standard Beauty. Incredibly affordable, obviously more for you due to the exchange rate. And best for all CRUELTY FREE!

[@mkg2124]

I think what makes these products actually “worth” the money is the fact that they pretty much all seem to have something more unique, these are really fascinating to me! Also if you wondering, “Nuit” is pronounced noo-wee, and “creme de la nuit” literally just means night cream lol.

[@audreymonpas7995]

To be unnecessarily precise, it's not exactly "noo" but I can't find any american english word to compare the pronunciation of the french "u", the closest sound I can think of to compare is "Eww", but it's not exactly that either 🤷🏽‍♀️ Sorry for the french lesson time 😅☺️

[@mkg2124]

@@audreymonpas7995 yeah, “oo” is like the closest you can get in English and easiest to understand. We love a French lesson though.

[@mkg2124]

Maybe nuh-wee would be closer?

[@audreymonpas7995]

@@mkg2124 Maybe, I don't know how "nuh" is pronounced 😆😅

[@jakestroll6518]

"Unique" is just different, not necessarily effective. If I put chicken poop in a sunscreen, I could brand it as unique. Especially if I make a dubious claim about it's effect

[@brittanyswanson361]

I cannot tell you how happy I was that you left that expensive orangey-pinky product on your face for the entirety of the video making full use of that product! No waste here 👑

[@aliciafrost1074]

Omg, Cassandra and a neck cream in the same video? Thought I'd never see this. I actually love Perricone's products so I totally support this

[@michelebender8891]

Cassie you are such an inspiration to me, & beautiful ray of sunshine in this world ♡! I have severe depression & anxiety, but when I watch your videos & listen to you speak I always feel better because you're so very genuine & real, intelligent, & fun! Thank you for being the beautiful, bright, Intelligent, & fun human that you are, & always telling it the way you see it. You have helped me discover some much needed skin care products. Thank you for being you. You are a blessing! ♡♡♡

[@meep1869]

I pretty much only buy drugstore things and I'll never spend more than like $30 on a product but I'll still watch this whole video 😂

[@WendeCrow]

Same I'll watch Cassandra whatever she's talking about 💜

[@rachelw2309]

$17 makes me shake in my boots but I really did enjoy the video. 😂

[@PM.0000]

Skinceuticals vit c serum is the ONLY product I splurge on. I start saving as soon as I get a new bottle because that serum does things to my skin that can't be replicated with anything else

[@lou9123]

yep... no matter how many times people shout DUPE! it is in fact, not.

[@karmaleenash2841]

For me, it is the Obagi vitamin c serum.

[@xristinarose2409]

Huh it helped you??!? I use skinceuticals vit c for 4 months now and am so SO disappointed to not see any results at all 😢 bought it for my dark spot scars, wrinkles and age spots and it hasnt done ANYTHING at all 😢 what has it done for you? When did you notice a difference?

[@PM.0000]

@@xristinarose2409 bummer. Everyone's skin is different! I saw an improvement in fine lines and dark spots. It's help with dryness (I've got combo skin so my perimeter is dry with an oily t zone) I've been using it for 2 years nows. Always follow with sunscreen or it's money down the drain. I apply it to damp skin and quickly follow up with a moisturizer and sunscreen. Good luck to you!

[@hallyuniverse]

If you want to consider saving on your next purchase, try out the L'Oréal Revitalift. As long as you don't mind it being in a dimethicone base instead of water (which is a positive because it will last longer), it basically does the same thing. Same quality of vitamin C, as SkinCeuticals is owned by L'Oréal and they use the same labs/R&D.

[@Kiterpuss]

Fun fact: Saffron can grow in some areas of the southeast US if given the right soil composition. It's just a very expensive thing to farm and has no farming subsidies to offset that cost. You can order bulbs and grow it yourself in the right zones!

[@Madhyamaa95]

She is formulated it right, that is all.We have Saffron in India, nothing very exquisite.But when you formulate it right it gives good results.

[@wahzit2u]

I am so glad to find this video! I bought the Perricone MD neck product on sale at Costco. Dirt cheap compared to its normal price, but still a lot for me. It’s been sitting around unopened for a couple of weeks until I decided whether I should return it or commit to trying it. Now I can ripe it open!! Yay! Thanks!

[@CrystalEyes83]

Cass, as you asked, that K beauty company is Pronounced: TROYie AROO KAY 💖

Such a beautiful human being inside and out. I love her energy and ora. Feel l critised her by accident for her lack of knowledge of celebrities haha. If you read this sorry Cassandra Your the cool one for not knowing 😎😘😊

[@SarahBent]

Intriguing. Have you ever considered doing a video about what to buy for teens? You talk a lot about the mistakes you made and I'd love to hear what you actually do recommend. Signed, Mom of acne prone boy.

[@melfryer9487]

Absolutely love your honesty when reviewing different products. You’re so refreshing ( just like the neck cream)

[@lenamohrzadeh]

As a Persian, we use saffron in so many of our dishes, it truly is expensive! Love your sweet informative videos. And may I yell 🎙I LOVE DERMALOGICA!!!!! I really need the precleanse! Great product line. Thankyou so much for putting us on to the Ranavat Safron Serum/ Flawless veil masque- I’m diving into her story now!

[@hallyuniverse]

It's definitely expensive but for the amount of saffron you need to colour/infuse a serum... it's like 3 threads (which is like 1 dollar). Also idk if I'd want to even put it on my face, because like tumeric, it stains your skin! Every time I cook with saffron I tend to get yellow fingertips!

[@beckyenglish4783]

I admit I psychologically NEED to use an eye cream, but damned if I’ll EVER use a neck cream.

Great video Cass, these are actually unexpected products (as in, not mainstream). I would also be interested in your take of both La Maison Valmont's brands, Valmont and l'Elixir des Glaciers, while we're on the topic of luxury skincare.

[@microwoman44]

Skinceuticals is 15% vit c and only 1 oz for 182$. Perricone is 20% vit c and 2 oz for 165. Perricone indeed does smell much better and works much better.

[@ΕυαγγελίαΧ-ε9ι]

Saffron is also cultivated in Greece, in the prefecture of Western Macedonia and I can confirm it is miraculously great and expensive.

[@lerkz19]

I've been into skin care for almost 2 years now, but still a bit scared to use actives. Can I use a moisturizer formulated with vitamin C after applying retinol/retinoid? I don't want to mess this up. Lots of love to you. I love your content 💖 Thank you.

Hi Cassandra I'm pretty certain the Korean Peel and Fill product isn't vegan as spicules are derived from sea sponges!

Revolution Skincare have a perfect dupe (it’s so good, I wouldn’t even call it a dupe: it’ stands on its own) It’s simply called Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid 😻 I love it. The Ordinary Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid have amped up my skincare game - and it’s thanks to Cassandra just breathing it out in a sentence in a video about The Ordinary product and my ears soaked it in, thank you Cassandra! 😸🙏 The Ordinary Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid is luxury to a very nice price and that’s all the neck cream I need. I put resveratrol on my tata’s, on my belly, bum bum, my hands underneath my hand cream (aka my regular body lotion) . To put some of the regular skincare (especially retinol, vitamin C and resveratrol - maybe peptides...) and moisturisers and spf on a daily basis is way better than a neck cream. I’m speaking out of my own experience here 🌸😺🌸 I love k beauty and j beauty. Especially mushrooms, rice/sake/galactomyces, Centella Asiatica. If I wasn’t a vegan I’d definitely use honey and that super honey 🍯 and snail mucin. But no.. I can’t 😿 🤷🏼‍♀️😿 I’ve just ordered a set of cactus products from Whamisa (something that I wanted for some time and the packaging is so cute!) as a Christmas gift for myself 💝🎄Because we need to be our own very best friend 💗😸💗 So don’t forget to give yourself a little gift too! 🎁 Take care and be be You tiful inside and out!

[@bulecoolproject5903]

You are AMAZING!! 😊😊

[@sanskritibarman4928]

Saffron is actually a staple in ayurveda and can be harvested from the Kashmir (foothills of Himalayas). Hence Indian luxury skincare (mostly mid range pricing according to American standards) has some pretty great options like kumkumadi oil. But yes they work a lot more slowly compared to actives, so they are meant to be a long term investment.

[@psychotherapistspecializin6452]

If you want superior products w/ extremely well formulated products try Le Mieux, it means the best in French. The first ingredient in almost every product is their own hyaluronic acid combo they invented. If the 1st ingredient is not hyaluronic acid it will be another active benefitting the product. Classy, please look into this product line ,I have a strong feeling you will like what is in the products & what what is not in them. There are a few products that are priced high enough for me to go.🙄 However the majority for the ingredients & results you get or I have received, I love this line❣I truly hope it benefits someone, be well❣❣❣❣

[@msk-qp6fn]

I believe for the longest time products with gold and honey were the most expensive skincare ingredients in South Korea along with ginseng and collagen and there's only a limited amount of cosmetic formulators and labs that know how to get the formulation right with these ingredients. Honestly, to this day there aren't that many companies that get a good formulation that includes honey, gold, or collagen, and if a South Korean company is selling a product with these ingredients chances are the products are actually somewhat decent or actually good.
