🔴 You are beYoutiful inside and out; I love you!
Feels like acne is a never ending problem. Once your acne is gone, the scarring is a million times worst than the acne itself. My friend who is acne prone skin, heals scar in just two weeks! Me on the other hand have to try so many things and will take so many years to heal!! It's worst when your cousin/friends/relatives comment about your face and acne is popping because you're not taking care of hygiene. These people will never understand!
Sorry for the long comment
Try eating wit C around in big dozes everyday it quickens immenslyvskin processes.
Have you ever tried adapalene or retin-A??? Other things that really work are dermapen or laser CO2... I know what you've been trought but these treatments really help me to have a stunning skin and keep my breakouts under control
try to do cleansing your gut!!! it worked on me, try taking some probiotics with billions of viable cells...cleansing all toxins works on our skin! im 38 but still breakouts sometimes but im working on my scars now...hope it helps!
@Tf Oh yes probiotics can come in tablet form!
I can relate. Im ashame honestly of my face..
So today I was in my biology class and two of my friends were talking about someone else’s acne scars knowing that I suffer with acne scars as well..I’ve come to a realization that not everyone can be considerate of someone else’s feeling and I’ve dealt with this my whole life having friends tell me about a few pimples they have etc..I just wish I had someone to talk about this but then I found your channel and feel somewhat better..just taking it day by day..
I've legitimately told my friend to stfu because she was so upset about ONE pimple. One. And I'm sitting here with a pepperoni pizza face. I wanted to slap her.
Jaclynn Hall omg this happens all the time..but I never say anything because I don’t want it to be awkward and I know they don’t do intentionally but it still sucks ...
@@melaniesolorio3471 my friends know I'm honest lol, I tell them to get tf over it and if they wanna trade they're more than welcome to
Jaclynn Hall wow thanks for replying and telling that you stick up for yourself..I just wish I had that strength but thank you so much I appreciate it ❤️
@@melaniesolorio3471 you are strong enough to stand up for yourself. Your skin does not define you, nor does it define me. If anything I see it as a built in asshole blocker. People who are going to be mean or insensitive are not my friends, and my real friends can handle me telling them that it bothers me when they bitch about stupid things. A little change of perspective never hurt anyone
Girl - you are so beautiful without makeup!
your acne was far worst than mine, but my scars are far worst than yours - or actually you don't have any so I really appreciate all your videos and sharing info. Thank you for all you do.
Some people heal worse, unfortunately. However, she might have been using products at the time that minimized scarring. I've noticed that scarring usually happens when it takes a long time for acne to resolve. So, the quicker you can get the acne to resolve itself using beneficial products that increase skin turnover like acids and vitamin A + C, the less chance of scarring.
I’m in the same boat, my skin scarred badly from whatever little scars and even after expensive treatments looks same and I want to beat my face against a wall
Your skin is incredible! I still can't beleive how you managed to transform it the way you did. Amazing xx
I second that comment 👏 it is not an easy problem to face. As a teen at times I would take my glasses off when I looked at myself so that I did not have to see my imperfections let alone analysing the problem.
Cassandra you have a much needed bravery. Unless you suffer with acne, you cannot understand the impact it has.
Thank you for you clarity.
I know, sometimes I feel like this is so unattainable
@@selenabanks4263 yeah I totally get you if you see all the things she did to get to that position..
You must be seeing something I'm not because I don't understand how she can put down all these people for their skincare but every single one of them has way better skin then her. How am I supposed to listen to someone tell me not to use a certain product ...and reccomend one but the one she tells me not to use produces gorgeous skin and her doesn't.
You're freaking awesome. I'm a 53-year young woman who still struggles with skin issues/scars, etc. Thank you for reminding me not to be defined by my acne or scars (wrinkles too!)
these kind of videos makes me believe that my acne and the scars could actually heal. be patient, acne fighters! ❤️
Just found your channel while attempting to help my son out with his acne. Find your beauty, sensitivity and compassion for those suffering as you have inspirational. If you hadn't had suffered, you wouldn't be here today helping so many! In a world of shallow influencers you stand distinct as true beauty inside and out, as your closing comments show.
I had cystic acne in my youth, took accutane and am still dealing with skin issues and scars as an adult. I just want to say how great your skin looks and what an inspiration you are to discuss your journey. Thank you!!!❤️😭
The fact that you casually mentioned you used to hurt yourself is really fucking important and I thank you for your bravery, both in talking about acne and, now, mental health. Thank you, Cassandra, for helping all of us feel like we're not alone x
No it is completely fucking irrelevant and a waste of time
She also mentioned nothing is straight about her. Even her hair. Lol.
This was refreshing! To hear her speak about it so openly makes me feel the movement and strides we have made toward human rights. ❤️
I wonder if she’s single 🤔 😜
Thank you very much for the last bit and your words of encouragement, it means a lot to hear that from somebody else. It's so true that acne can make you feel isolated and losing your self-esteem is just another horrible side effect of having acne.
I don't even have acne, but I love listening to your beautiful voice and to educate myself with your help. You are great 🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏽
I am 66 years old and suffered with acne until I was in my 50s. We did not have the products that are available today to treat acne when I was going through it. Needless to say, I have very pitted and scarred skin.
I love to watch your videos and to see how far you have come in such a short time. I see you as a warrior and an inspiration to young people who are suffering with acne. Keep up the good work.
I can completely relate to you! I too am in my 60s and cringe when I think how we treated our skin - harsh soaps, sun lamps, antibiotics that didn't work. Acne sufferers today are so lucky to be able to access information and support such as these fantastic videos that Cassandra makes.
Sorry about your situation. I feel for you. Dont give up. There is still hope. All the best! 😄👌💞
43 here. 28 years of acne and still counting. I relate to you so well. No one knows better the emotional hell we have been trough.
I’m 51. I’ve been free of cystic acne for about 5 years but it’s back! I thought my scars were bad but here we go again! I’m breaking out like a hormonal teenager plus wrinkles! I just want pretty skin!
@@sstavinoha1 You know what helps me? Thinking that I am still alive when so many, younger than me, who never had a pimple in their lives, have already died of cancer, accidents, etc.
I love how you always address the self doubts and self love of us. It brings tears to my eyes every single time. I feel so understood by you and your words are really comforting to me. They keep me going in the frustrating and difficult time. Thank you. Thank you so much! :') ♡
Cassandra, I'm a new subscriber in my 50s and have ALWAYS struggled with acne!! You are soo genuine and honest! You are being yourself and always have! I've watched quite a few of your videos. Your energy is amazing!! Your ance videos is what I gravitated to at first! Love you Cassandra 😘❤❤❤❤
I wish I had someone like you to look up to when I was a teen. Growing up with cystic acne is horrible and depressing and people around you can make it worse, I really hope kids now and in the future know their worth and that caring for your skin doesn't make you superficial, and it doesn't matter if it's acne, psoriasis or whatever, you deserve love and respect just like everyone.
Wow your skin looks the best it has ever looked! It is amazing when you educate yourself and practice a healthy lifestyle how much you can transform. You look beautiful!
I'm 35 and still have acne scars, suffering from 12 years old! You reminded me of me when I was young. I'm so much worse than you girl and I hated the fact that my family didn't have money to help me when I needed it the most. I wish we had youtube channels back at 2000... The only protection I had, was to throw my hair in front of my face hiding it from the world so that noone could see my scars. Sometimes when my confidence was on bottom, my hair would hide my tears at school and that was ok for me because noone could see them. As years were passing by, I was based on cleaning my face every day as much as possible even 6 times a day and I was never out without makeup. My confidence may have gotten better and better, but my scars have stayed and always keep reminding me that it's ok for me to be alone since noone would ever like me because of my scars. I dated a lot, but couldn't stay in a real relationship. I guess I will never get through this "scar" of my life. I never talked about it with anyone. I got tired of being lectured while I was young, or being told how bad my face was, but never suggesting me what I could do about it. I locked all the pain inside me, crying a lot alone in the dark when noone could hear me. I literally hated high school and wanting to cut those years off from my life with a knife if that was possible but somehow I made it through. I think that I changed a lot. I became cold towards others. I made my heart stone and never let myself close to someone because of the fear of getting emotionally hurt because of the way they would look at me...anyways. Sorry about the blabbering, I'm sure you don't give a f***, but I just wanted to talk for the first time after all those years about it and share it with y'all!
If you went through half of what I went through, then I'm sure you can relate to me!
@lizziepool I think many people have feel what you feel, in my case I have had acne since 12 as well, now that I'm 30 my skin is recovered but I have scars, although I'm considered pretty I'm so insecure that I'm not able to have a real relationship either, lots of things come up when I think in having a relationship, things like would I feel good going to the beach with this person and expose my scars with all the sun light in my face, for example, this is really hard I know but just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and I understand you.
💓
I UNDERSTAND YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. THEY ARE MANY WOMEN GOING THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION. PERSONALLY, I CAN'T BE WITH THE MAN OF MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.
@Sadia Afrin yes right, at night I feel so well but under the sunlight I feel so insecure, sorry to hear that about your ex, definitely not a good guy, my ex boyfriend used to tell me things about my acne too and that's something I still remember with pain. If someday you need to talk with someone let me know :)
I can feel every single line because I have gone through the same thing. Though people consider me pretty, I am always like 'its because they have seen me only from a distance'. I am 25 and have never dated anyone because of the insecurity. I hate talking to someone, girls or boys out in the open, because of sunlight making my scars visible even under the make up. Its been painful at many points to deal with this. I hope there is more awareness on acne, there are more solutions to acne and no one has to go through what I did.
Just had a fan girl Moment!!!! About 6 years ago I was a super fan of Cassandra and she taught me how to put on my makeup because I had the same skin! And now, when I’m looking to clear my skin SHE BECOMES MY SKINCARE GURU! OMG 🤯❤️
Wow!👏🏽
You’re such a good person and you always spread so much positivity in your videos. It makes me so happy and it calms me but also makes me learn things. And I’m sure I’m not the only one to think that way. 😊
So glad I came across you. You give hope to people who are often told, scars can't be treated you are a natural beauty. It's good to see a very attractive woman who isn't caked in makeup. Than you. Take care.
I remember watching your makeup tutorials, you’ve always been very beautiful and it’s so nice to see your skin progression.
Thank you so much for your inspirational videos! I am in my 60s and had acne for about 20 years. I only get the occasional spot now but struggle with accepting my scars. I wish I had had someone like you to talk to in my teens! One consolation I do have is that I dont look my age and people have complimented me on my wrinkle-free skin. But I still 'best myself up' over the way I treated my skin years ago - using soap, sunlamps, scrubbing my skin and taking antibiotics for years! Your positivity really helps me when I'm struggling with negative thoughts about myself. Thanks again Cassandra!
Thank you so much for being you if i haven't said this before Cassandra. I highly respect you and you're opinion. My heart used to cry for your skin but you were always so true to yourself.
Little did we know you'd be able to heal other hearts with skin problems and save us all from wasting money on products not good for us.
Remember you're passion and people will follow you're good heart.
Xxxxxxxx
We stand a queen that actually knows what she is talking about 🙏 love how informative/educative your videos are, thank you
Is that pix of your cat? Cute😁
OMG my skin texture is SO close to yours! I had acne starting at age 11 until I had a total hysterectomy at 33.... I still have acne flare ups but the scars and texture is what I’m dealing with now! I also struggled with self harm, eating disorders, and addiction. I felt so bad about myself for SO long. New Subscriber!
Yes, I wish I would have hear those words when I was younger at my 16th and so on. Now Im 41 and still hating my scars but finally trying to find a solution instead of feeling down ❤
This acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* was very informative and helpful. I often go through gentle adult acne and this guide discusses all the possible solutions for mild to severe acne whether natural procedures or otherwise. I prefer the natural way of treating them and I found out on this guide the treatments that work efficiently.
THANK YOU!!! I feel less alone after watching this and thanks so much for your close ups!!!!
For me, my gut/diet seems to affect my skin the most and my rosesea. PLEASE do a video on gut health and skin xxx
I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning (when I was in middle school and my skin starting getting really bad) and let me tell you, you’ve helped me so much to believe that I don’t have to use pills to clear my skin. I love you Cassandra thank you for everything you’ve done!!
I love you, your personality, your spontaneity and how natural and beautiful you are and radiate. Also thank you for gaining all that knowledge about acne prone and oily skin, I’m learning so much from you and I’m sure a lot of other people are too. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
The way you speak is so sophisticated and sounds well-educated
Thank you for reminding us that we're not alone in this journey even if it feels isolating. I definitely needed to hear this at this time because I'd been feeling quite low due to my scars. Much Love ♥
You're absolutely STUNNING!! 😍😍 I love a woman who has brains and beauty. You're the total package!!
That message at the end touched my heart x Thank you for making these videos, they are so helpful
Yes as a nurse I know scars and wound heal best in humid environment at about 37 and 39 Celsius. Never dry out. Be patient and gentle wounds love that. In hospitals they stop to irritate them three times a day.
What skincare products do you recommend for very bad scars & acne scars?
Aslalm u Alaikum Sir plz kindly tell me some best product for early small scars..there are no laser treatment available here..plz recommend me some good gel or cream ..
Irrigate? Also pressure wounds, burn wounds and other acute wounds are way different than treating hyperpigmentation or atrophic scarring. It’s a whole different ball game really.
I use to watch you years and yearsss ago. Idk how i lost you but glad i found your channel again.. been binge watching your videos.. love them! You bring so much to YT.
Pure joy listening to you Cassandra!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🦋
You’re an amazing inspiration 💜 thank you for this channel , you rock girl
Omg I remember seeing her acne videos along time ago, & now she looks better then anyone! 💕
I'm glad you overcame that stage of hurting yourself, sounds like a dark place. Stay up.
Yes. 🙌🙌🙌
I appreciate your openness and vulnerability so much. Plus, your knowledge and information is so helpful. So, thank you.
Thank you so much for being so relatable and for the kind words. I am an acne sufferer as well and it really is a struggle to get rid of the scarring. New subscriber here :)
You're the guardian angel for acne sufferers.
I was searching through vids for specific vids and I saw this video, I know it’s old but I hope you get a notification for this.
I just want to say thank you so much you have helped me so much I’m 30 and I have 0 confidence and every time I watch your vids (usually on FB finally subbed on YT) I get a little boost, your message at the end I needed to hear that today, my skin is the one part of my body that I can try and fix/better.
I’m pretty sick and my body has failed me so I have been trying to get my skin in order, and your experience has been invaluable.
I relate to many things you said in this video and the emotions.
Thank you so much for this content and your new content.
You’re stunning and so sweet, I and clearly many, many others appreciate it ❤️🌈
Thank you for this human touch on your experience. My 12 yr girl is suffering from very bad acne and your helping, thank you again
Oh my!! Cassandra, I'm grateful I found your channel, hopefully some of these info you've shared will work for me.
You've come a long way with your skin care 😍😍. Funny thing with life though is, when you're feeling better about the good care you've taken, it throws some more pimples at you.
I ran into your videos the first time when I was a teenager and had started the battle with acne a couple of years before that. Nowadays my acne is quite well controlled but I was fearing I'd have to live with the damn scars all my life (like my aunt, she's a living example of what I feared my skin would look like when I'm her age). It's great to know there's still hope! :) And even without any expensive solutions performed by professionals like a diamond polishing or whatever those are - though they are still something I'm willing to look into.
It's awesome to see you're still sharing your experiences with this pesky skin condition ♥ It's a great boost for motivation. You're amazing!
you are amazing. there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to geek out on all of your videos!!! you've come such a long way and it's so beautiful to see your journey and learn from you. much love to you sis!
Cassandra thank you so much. I followed so many people, so many experts, docs etc etc spent so many money and wasted so much time. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart because the tips that you give really worked for me. My skin is starting to clear omg...thank you!!!
I agree. Lock moisture on the skin bcoz i have acne scar that haven't go away no matter how many product i tried.
After i go for hydrating facial, my scar healing very well
Your skin is BEAUTIFUL! Well done on the incredible healing you kick started. I too healed my scars considerably by using high quality skin care with Vit C moisturizer by Ole Henriksen, all vegan diet, TONS of water and moisturizing just like you said!
So knowledgeable and displays it in a way that’s not overwhelming! Thanks for the great content! 😘💗💗💗
also you are drop dead gorgeous! one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, with glowing skin, a beautiful smile and gorgeous bone structure
All of the animations and pictures helps! Thank you for this video Cassandra!
(Editing on point!)
U r so naturally beautiful, i can't believe someone without make up can look so angelic.
I love how open and honest you are. Despite how postItive you are, which I admire, it saddens me that the scars won't go away. I already knew, but still. Looking at all my friends who never had to deal with acne and have beautiful skin, I still can't help but feel insecure about my scars and acne. I'll just look at you as my UA-cam friend and keep in mind that I'm not alone :)
RockTransistor same!
Let me start with telling you, you're SO beautiful! Thank you for your inspiring words and by the way you look amazing!
I like when you say "you are an acne warrior", that is wonderful! Thanks. I know that it does get better with age, it softens. I wanted to add you are very beautiful the tiny amount of acne scars are not noticeable, or unattractive in any way, even without make up.
I think you're beautiful!! You look totally amazing. 😊 thanks for sharing. I have been struggling w acne and scars as well.. and I'm in my early 30's. *cries*
Thank you for always being transparent! You are awesome!!!
I don't know you personally but I wanted to say.. Girl you are so inspirational!. ❤️Seeing you so happy and confident makes my heart melt. I'm so happy for you🤗.
Cassandra thank you for being you. You're beautiful inside and out!! 💓💓🦋🦋
Your skin looks awesome! I’m so happy for you💕
Your alive for a purpose and a good purpose and that is to spread the love of skincare I love you thank you 😊
Thank you for showing so much of your natural skin it helps give me confidence in my own skins imperfections and thanks for all the great advice too!!
aww the ending brought me tears. I love you 💗
You are amazing. I have watched so many yt videos and I have finally found someone who helped me to understand my skin problems and how to improve it. Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing parts of yourself while teaching us how to heal our skin!
Thanks for sharing this info! Diet and lifestyle changes can have quite a huge impact on acne breakouts. Gluten, dairy and sugars tend to be the main culprits.
Thank you for all of your videos, they are so informational and inspiring. My acne scars cause me so much pain and insecurity. Congratulations on the progress of your skin!!
Glycolic acid (and other fruit acids),l-lysine, b vitamins, and a boat load of water. That's what has stopped my scars from forming and healed old ones.
Hey, after how long did they heal. I have severe scars
can you use glycolic acid and retinol in one routine?
@@lonewolf5969 yeah but you need to apply them 30-45min apart.
Really? I am tired of paying so much money for micro needling.
I just started watching your videos! They are awesome, very relatable and helpful, great content! Keep up the good work! ❤️
I’ve learned soo much about skin and I’m glad you come out with these videos
Your skin looks so beautiful!!!!
You're an inspiration 💕
Ily💕

Thank you for the info and your words of encouragement. Most helpful!
I have just found your channel. Youre brilliant! Thank you for your honesty
Honestly, your skin looks great! Yes, there are scars, but not severe at all. I am happy for you!
I wish I could sit down and you just tell me everything I should use because man the struggle is real 😭
Thank you for being so open about your scars
Love you Cassandra! Just recently found you and oh my goodness you are on point about acne journey . I’m currently going through the struggle of clearing up naturally as well. Watching your videos makes me feel hope . Everything in this life is a journey and if it’s worth it it’ll be worth the wait. Hope this new year brings you many blessings! ^.^
Your skin looks amazing, I'm so happy for you! I have acne prone skin and sometimes it feels as though nothing works for me. My skin goes through these periods of clarity then all of a sudden it goes crazy over and over again. I've been following your journey for a while, and you've really inspired me to not be ashamed of my acne, and not be afraid to walk outside with no makeup on. Seeing you get these amazing results shows me that there is hope for me too. 💜💜💜
I am learning so much with watching your videos . Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information.This one is quite helpful.
Love this video! You are a star! yessss to skincare meme Sunday woohoo!

I'm using manuka as mask and spot treatment. Amazing results and works wonderful with my sensitive skin. Dry fast acne and leave no marks or scars. BUT I DONT TOUCH THE ACNE. Thanks for the video!
YES to updated skincare routine!
Hey Cassandra, I have a question about retinol, I used the ordinary one it started helping with my scars but then suddenly my acne returned and i started having even more breakouts, cystic ones. Can you advise?
So gorgeous Cassandra 👌 been following ur channel since ur acne days !
Thanks for this video!could you do a video of your current morning and evening skincare routine?
I love your channel. I felt so alone when I was dealing with severe acne. I threw all my prom pictures since it was the worst during that time. Its better now but the acne scars so still on my face 😢
I don't know how far you are from the camera, but your skin looks perfect in this video.
Thank you for these videos!!!! I feel less ashamed of my cystic acne and scars. You are beautiful.!!!!
