đŠ You are beYoutiful inside and out; I love you!
Isnât it funny how beauty gurus is al about the drama, scandal, being shady in some type of way , but skincares gurus are respect and support each other .thatâs is really healthy environment and Iâm here for that
Maybe we can let the term guru die and just refer to them as the experts that they are :)
Precisely why I switched teams lol
Ikr she simps for wvery skincare guru because skincare is self care and brand giants who sell make up but started selling skincare because it was popular and making products feel heavy and smell very fragrenced just want the money
It would be awesome, if you would do something like STUDY ENGLISH, and improve your poor writing skills, instead of being here talking bs
@@stefany2024 Ńute, thanks, English is not my native language by the way, i will learn that, but you will never learn how to be a nice person. Have a nice day)
James' voice is what we dream of in Audiobooks/headspace
He sounds rather feminine to me. But it's a preference for everyone.
@@Jasperzac195 I usually prefer deeper voices than his and get irritated by high male voices - but, the softness and smoothness makes it very relaxing to listen to. Accent too ngl
@@neferuaten3954 his voice is not high pitched though
They just wanted to get in a bit of femme-phobic male rhetoric. His voice is effeminate but not at all high-pitched. And thereâs nothing wrong with or inherently irritating about an effeminate voice.
I live in Korea, we have national health care but most of the hospitals are private. Dermatologists are very popular, I can walk into a derm's office without an appointment, be seen within 5 minutes, and it usually costs less than $5.
Omg wow thats amazing
Another reason that South Korea is amazing!
Woah! Thatâs amazing, just another reason to visit.
Amazing
Uhm WOW đâ€ïž
Proud cult, um club, member! I had been neglecting myself for years, depression sucks, and skin care has been a huge help in pulling me back out. If you're struggling start small, it wont be long before it's just habit.
SO true. I am in my early 60s and during my entire 50s I was the full-time caretaker of my mom who had Alzheimer's. Plus, I am married with children. Between being so busy and suffering from depression, I completely ignored skincare. I am hoping it is not too late. It was a lot of work at the beginning to commit to daily/evening skincare routine and had to force myself. Now, I love it. Especially my evening routine. It is so relaxing and helps me wind down for bedtime.
đđŠđ
Makes complete sense. I've learned things from James and Robert that have made me more confident and more comfortable in my skin. Especially, as I approach menopause and my previously oily skin that finally stopped breaking out for a minute before freaking out drying and blowing up with hormonal acne. Cassandra too. Love the attitude of focusing on your skin's best health. And wish I knew 20 years ago how to camouflage and realize everyone has texture as Robert teaches. 100% cul... um club member here.
â@@debcollins8231 I'm where you were right now. Figured I might as well apply some nice moisturizer while hiding in the bathroom to have a 5 minute breather instead of crying. Taking a bit if time to just do something for yourself makes you better for your family too.
@@amdayfhggie2665 God bless you. You are an angel. I understand completely what you are going through. I remember getting irritated when told to take care of myself because it seemed impossible. Believe it or not, that 5 minute break and self-care is extremely important. I just prayed for you and yours and will continue to. The sacrifices you are making are so loving but enormous. No one understands until they experience it themselves. God bless you angel.
totally agree with the theory for the dermatologists in the UK, same in Europe. I'm from Bulgaria, the derms here speaks for SPF only at the beginning of the summer season and mostly about the body sunscreen, rather than the necessity for everyday face sunscreen care. If you have acne and visit a dermatologist in Bulgaria they often prescribe you antibiotic pills and medical cream/treat like Zineryt and nothing to balance or hydrate after. Also, they are very expensive.
Same here in Germany unfortunately. There is absolutely no education on how to take care of your skin or what can also help that is not an aggressive cream. If there wasn't CZcams my skin would be absolutely bad still
Here in Portugal i don't think is like that and is not that expensive, u have dermatologist from private and public sistem health care is free the consultation and in the private is like 35 euros
Itâs summer 365 days here and people are still new to wearing sunscreen every day. Most people here never even touch sunscreen
Same in Poland, I had a few dermatologist appointments none of them told me that I should use SPF or even moisturise my face... I wish I had discovered Korean skincare or CZcams skincare gurus earlier
@@diiiraq the only thing is that dermatologists don't care much about the products they prescribe you alongside the prescription medication . In my case i went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me epiduo and uriage moisturizer/spf that had alcohol and other nasty ingredients , and it wasn't even moisturizing....đ
Cassandra, Greek-Dutch person here. First of all, good olive oil does not taste bitter. The bitterness of the olive oil depends on the acidity level of the oil, not on the refinement. Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Greek olive oil will not taste bitter. Regarding dermatologists - In Greece you would see a dermatologist immediately, they are extremely accessible. In the Netherlands it is REALLY HARD to see a dermatologist as your family doctor has to refer you to a hospital only after seeing that what they have prescribed you doesnât work. Usually, for an acne sufferer that causes extra distress cause they have already tried to ameliorate their acne with over the counter products which often contain much of the same ingredients the family doctor will prescribe (e.g., salicylic acid) and as such it tends to be a very psychologically draining and dispiriting process.
This! I'm not from Greece, but my mom is a baker and she cooks a lot and with really expensive products (and in our area olive oil is a bit expensive because it always imported) so EV is not bitter, like at all, I was surprised to hear it in video.
Completely agree about dermatologists in the Netherlands! I am eczema prone and have alopecia areata, yet I have only seen a dermatologist twice in my life. You really have to press through if you want your GP to refer you to a dermatologist. The only other option is to pay âŹâŹâŹ for a commercial dermatologist (which are only there to make you pay for botox). The Dutch health system basically says: if you don't die, figure it out by yourself. Or: "It's just stress"
Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil from Greece is great and isnât bitter!
@@marieke_lk so true, I have been to a dermatologist in the Netherlands and it toke me a year to get to it! In the end I found out I have androgenetic alopecia and I almost lost my window to try and recover a bigger number of my hairs...
Americans are used to having suggar added to Everything. Even bottled water xD Knowing that, I can never take their description of food seriously. Greek food is an absolute dream. Def my fave cuisine, lots of love from Bosnia ^^
Germany - Dermatologists in Germany don't take the time to really explain how to use medication and what to use... my whole knowledge is based on your videos and I am so thankful. You're amazing
My mom actually says "progress not perfection" about a lot of things in life as a sort of mantra. We've found it very helpful for both of our mental health and how we view the world in general. Loved hearing you say that here!
I think the main reason as to why itâs more difficult to see a dermatologist here in the UK is because we have free healthcare (NHS). This means that the NHS want to save money where they can (you really have to push your GP to make them refer you) but there can also have very long queues to see a consultant. If you go privately the waiting times are a lot less but then youâll need to pay for the appointment unless you have health insurance or something like Benenden.
I think there is also a shortage of 200 dermatologists in the UK as well (donât hold me to this though it is what I remember someone else in industry mentioned) though letâs be honest no one would be surprised, there is a shortage of nurses, OTs, doctors etc in NHS as well
Yes exactly, and 15 years ago it was even more impossible to get to a referral to a derm. I tried to get one when I was 17 (19 yrs ago...oof) and it was not something I could get.
Itâs the most amazing thing that healthcare is public and free and medicine is affordable but thereâs shortage of dermatologists. If I were a derm Iâd be private too than work for NHS. Skin concerns are also unfortunately regarded as less important. Thereâs less medical health risk involved unless you have severe skin concern, skin cancer etc. The government should properly fund the NHS for sure. Sorry I canât resist being political when it comes to healthcare.
Totally agree with this (UK based). I had acne from age 12 and it is still an issue for me occasionally, especially with masks recently. I asked to see a derm for years and didn't get referred as my gp said it was something I would grow out of. I finally got referred aged 27 and they immediately put me on accutane for 6 months, then never followed it up once I finished the course. The derm seemed to have 4 1/2 days a week of seeing 'more serious' issues like psoriasis and only a half day each week of seeing anyone with 'cosmetic' problems like acne.
Same in finland but insurence doesnt cover it, also u pay for the time like if it takes 15 its cheaper. Also we have 1 privete provider so u cant compere the prices and choose a cheaper option
Youâre personality is so beautiful. I love how frequently you talk about the mental health aspects of struggling with the appearance-related issues associated with acne.
I'm from the UK and yes, derms are probably seen as the last resort and you tend to visit your doctor instead. I think this is mainly because having the wonderful NHS means a lot of stuff is free for us but a derm doesn't fall under this and therefore ends up being hella expensive!
I hope we get Cassandra's skin care routine in Harper's BAZAAR next :'(
I never thought about beeswax not being okay for someone who's vegan, but once you said it I was like "well duh, of course it is". I'm taking a gap year between high school and college this upcoming year, and I'm gonna make and sell wax melts and I was going between beeswax and soy wax. Your comment about beeswax not being vegan totally sold the deal on me using soy wax and not beeswax. So thank you for helping me make my future small business more inclusive!
@ganseys bitch I actually ended up taking classes at a local college and helping my mom with her business instead, so I'm sorry but it turns out I won't be opening that business. Thank you for asking though. đ
Hey Cass!
Iâm Huda, 23 yrs from the UAE/ Dubai,and I want to share my story with derms in the Middle East .
When I was in middle school (around 12 or 13) I started to get acne all over my face and back but it was not a lot. At that time I did not know anything about skincare.
The only thing I would do is literally wash my face with water in the morning and thatâs it! My mom took me to a derm and she told me that this is something normal that happens to a lot of teenagers so you donât have to stress about it and prescribed me a drying cream and told me to apply it at night after I wash my face, so I did as she told me. It did work for a while and I did notice that the pimples on my face were reducing, but I still had acne regardless.
I then heard from my mom about cleansers and creams and toners that I never thought about but saw all the time while going to drug stores and pharmacies but never thought of buying and using them. But when my mom told me that I needed at least a cleanser and a cream I started to use them a long with a drying alcoholic toner ( the clean & clear one that was labeled for acne and black heads back in the days with the blue bottle).
And it was fine for a few years until my senior year of high school. My acne suddenly was inflamed and a lot of pimples would pop up and I did not know the reason, so I went back to the same derm that I went to few years back and gave the same drying cream and told me to stop using anything else other than my cleanser and the drying cream and I did as she told me. However this time it did not work as before and did not get the results that I wanted. Once I finished the drying cream I didnât get another one and went back to the ones I was using before. Because of my acne I lost my confidence in myself and was really uncomfortable of going out of my house, so I used BB creams and concealers to cover my acne.
In my third year of university my acne worst and my face was mostly red and had big pimples appearing regularly and I got fed up! At that time my cousin who was close to my age was having the same issues as me but she started to get better and had less pimples and after a few months her acne completely disappeared and had a clear skin!
So I asked her what did she do and she told me she went to a derm and prescribed her roaccutane/ accutane for around half a year and it did wonders for her. And so I did the same and went to a derm a different one than the one I used to go to and I specifically told them that Iâm here to get a roaccutane prescription. The doctor checked my face to see my acne and agreed with my decision saying that I truly needed that treatment because nothing was working for me. She informed about the side effects of the treatment and told me that I had to come every month to do a blood test in order to get my monthly dose. So I started doing the treatment and it took me 7 months to clear out my skin completely. The doctor told me to use moisturize and apply sun block everyday in order to get great results, and it truly did wonders for me!
Itâs been 3 years since then and my skin is looking good and Iâm really satisfied with how it looks. I do get pimples now and then when itâs that time of the month or when I eat badly but other than that nothing major!
Iâve been watching skincare videos for 3 years and educate myself about skincare and Iâm satisfied of how I maintain my skin, and it is because of you Cass , Susan, James, Hyram and many others in the skincare community! So thank you very much for providing such educating, important, interesting and fun contents!!!!đđ»đ
Yes James is spot on dermatologists in uk arenât common practice and I can only imagine how extortionately expensive they would be, the closest I am to a dermatologist is that now Iâm prescribed to Dermatica who are really good if you want prescription treatments the tretinoin treatment has transformed my skin!
Thanks for sharing. im considering them
I have been using tretinoin 0.025 nightly for three months (a friend gave me a tube). I enrolled with an online dermatologist who increased strength to .50 I am wondering how long it took for you to notice significant results? How long have you been using it and what strength? I am in my early 60s and hope it is not too late. Thank you.
I love how supportive the skin care community is!! So refreshing to see influencers in the same realm of work supporting each other unlike the makeup community drama we always see. Keep up the great work â€ïžđ
CASS x JAMES WELSH REACTION *I CAME I SAW I AM SUCH A FAN OF THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL BEINGS RIGHT HERE*
I love how Cass speaks so well. This indeed sounds like a TED talk! Thank you for sharing your voice in the world of skincare đ
Wishing everyone who sees this to have clear and glowing skinđ„°đ„°đ„°
James is right , Iâm from India and itâs the same here. USA is a totally different game (Iâve lived in US for a while so I know the difference). My saviors are the skincare heroes of the Internet! Unbelievable how Iâve transformed so much my skin just through all the info that Iâve learnt through CZcams đđ
And the best part is that itâs become a part of my âself-careâ like yall mentioned
Here in Denmark is there almost none derms. And those few that is, is rude and arrogant. And since i am another cyst-er I have not found a derm that specializes/or consult somebody with acne. đđ And because of that I am now thinking about becoming a dermatologist.
Acne is probably the most common skin concern :O Itâs shocking how underdeveloped dermatology is in many highly developed countries. :( I wish you so much luck with becoming a dermatologist! You will be very much needed đ
Ahhh great! Since Iâm waiting for my appointment in may .... yes may.... I was hoping it will be a great experience but your comment is making me nervous to go to danish doctors once again. đ„Č
Hejsa prĂžv at lave et opslag pĂ„ Facebook pĂ„ en af pige grupperen (evt Girls âsupport girlsâ eller âBe yourselfâ),derinde er der sikkert nogle der kender nogle derms der er gode tĂŠnker jegđđ„°
I second this finally found a good one in Randers though
Honestly, Im from Australia and I have realised that it takes a while until one can see a dermatologists because its common to get your concerns mainly treated by a GP and it is considered the "last step" to see a dermatologist as a GP would normally handle your skin issue. It would take a lot of minimal results from GP treatments for your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist.
I'm in Australia too. I just have a question for people who get prescription retinol. Do you ask your GP for it and if so, have they prescribed it or sent you to a dermatologist?
I first went to a derm after a really bad reaction to skin care products and my GP offered an urgent referral
I just asked for a repeat referral when I had skin further concerns my GP is really relaxed about giving me specialist referrals if I ask ( Iâm a speciality nurse myself and I know when I need a specialist)
Iâm in Australia too
@@dth6826 im in Australia too and I went to a dermatologist and she recommended it and gave me a referral
Yes. As a younger person with hideous acne Iâd ask for a referral, knowing I needed Roaccutane as things were once again kicking off.
Then the GP attempting to treat (as acne not âthat badâ, despite said skin owner recognised the signs of imminent explosion) would waste valuable time, where acne BEING GP TREATED would deteriorate to the stage where...GP would refer me to a dermatologist.
Iâve been on FIVE completely separate Roaccutane regimes, from age 16 to 26.
And have had to spend serious money on trying to fix some major scars due to - as several derms have told me - I WAITED TOO LONG BEFORE SEEKING ACNE TREATMENT!!!
Am now 49 and my skin is the best itâs ever been, apart from fine lines around my eyes that do my head in, but I guess thatâs a first world problem.
@@dth6826 just GP! However, since Aust stopped getting Retin-A brand around 8 (?) years ago, you can only get .05%, which is so annoying as I used to get a lovely 1% GEL (so much nicer than stupid rich cream the Retrieve brand I now have to have) years ago.
Trinidad and Tobago đčđč.
I have a dermatologist and I am grateful to see one.
That VoiceOver was everything! Dying! Also, would love for you to do a video on purchasing beauty and skincare products on Amazon. I've been hearing so much about why you should never purchase skincare on Amazon due to counterfeits, yet I hear a lot of skincare and beauty sloggers mention purchasing products on Amazon. Would love you to do a deep-dive on this topic!
Yes!! I totally agree!
Iâm from the uk, I think because our health care is free, most people donât want to pay the extortionate prices for a derm. As well as this most dermis work at private practices (at least near me) so its very difficult to get appointments.
Most people just go to their gp for skincare if they have severe acne, etc
Iâm from the Uk and 20 years old, Iâve literally had acne for over 8 years and I used to visit my gp, and they just donât seem to be that interested in acne. I was never even referred to a dermatologist, I still suffer from acne but my hyperpigmentation is worse. The only thing thatâs made my skin is healthier is watching your videos and other influencers such and James and Hyram, so I just buy some thing you guys recommend. I just wish I could see a derm đ
I love how excited she is for him aww
I was so nervous watching this because you and James are two are my favourites but so glad it got your approval and you love him too!
I'm in the UK and agree with him 100% that seeing a derm is not a normal thing here, for skin issues we tend to go to the GP who then prescribes antibiotics/ birth control/ roaccutane/ topical treatments etc.
Would be better to have seeing a derm as a more usual thing definitely like in the US
This the true definition of wholesome reaction, loved itâ€đ
Well, in Italy there are two ways. First: you go to your family doctor and if it is the case, then you'll get a prescription to see a dermatologist for free (this works also for who's struggling with acne, which is a [skin] inflammatory state anyway). It can take a bit in terms of time.
Second: you "privately" go to a dermatologist but then you got to pay. I would say it is not uncommon at all to go to a dermatologist over here; the skin covers the entire of your body so it can be affected by a lot of different treats. By the way: many treatments can be prescibed only by doctors, I mean: you can't buy tretinoin in a pharmacy without "permission".
P.S. I found out many skin specialist doctors are also psychologists.
With "ticket" payment, depends from the region but it's about 30 euro, if I'm right.
Same in Spain, but you can buy tretinoin here without a prescription
So Im from Germany and I had similar experiences with derms. I believe I went to 4 different doctors and they all didnt even look at my face and shrugged it off. I even had a harsh reaction to one of the products because the derm didnt explain it properly to me, so I lathered Tretinoin onto my freshly exfoliated face like it was a moisturizer and called it a day (resulting in chemical burns) And thats why I took matters into my own hands and now Im here lol
Second that.
That's so interesting! I grew up in Germany, too, and my experience was entirely different. I don't think it's uncommon here to have a dermatologist since we have free healthcare, too, and my dermatologists never gave me any prescriptions, I had to beg them for tretinoin. Obviously, we're a big country so the experiences we make are all different but it's crazy that we've mad experiences that range so vastly.
ANYWAYS, I hope your skin is glowy, dewy, healthy, and you feel great in your skin. xoxo from Berlin
@@nk3054 Thank you for the nice wishes! I think we might have had different experience because I live in a very rural area. Have you always lived in Berlin?
I went to a dermatologist here for hair loss during lockdown and she told me it was the birth control i went off of like 6 months ago, didn't even take a closer look or do a blood test, just sent me home. It's pretty frustrating. They're so busy they can't pay attention to you.
Iâm a med student and these stories motivate me to become a dermatologist,a GOOD one đ as a teenager I suffered from acne and it was so frustrating to not be taken seriously đ€
You are pure joy to watch and your info is gold. Keep doing what youâre doing!!!!
I am from India ,over here people usually don't see dermatologists and since our country is known for herbs and DIY skincare using ingridients that have been used for thousands of years so DIY skincare is usually people's go to solution for acne ,I have struggled with severe breakouts for years it took my parents 8 years to finally consult a dermatologist cause my skin was in a REALLY BAD CONDITION.Seeing a derm did help me get rid of my acne but my skin was still dull and then I started taking suggestions from hyram and James and now i get compliments about. how hydrated and glowy my skin is .đ„șđ„șđ„ș
Never thought I would be loving my skin
Took me around 3 consecutive appointments in a year with my doctor to be referred to a dermatologist, they put me straight on to Accutane, it worked for me but I was not impressed with how quickly it was prescribed considering all the side effects, when I mentioned tret I was told accutane was probably best for me, Iâm from the U.K.
If the acne is severe enough and causing scars to develop, some dermatologists have no problem prescribing Accutane right off the bat despite it being an aggressive approach. Some people canât afford to slowly build up to it and go through trial and error with drugstore products/prescription topicals/oral antibiotics because that means many months of scars accumulating on the face. As long as you go to a reputable board certified dermatologist who has seen your face, there is a probably a reason they decided to go that route. Scars are expensive and difficult to treat. Iâve seen plenty of derms on CZcams who have said theyâd prescribe Accutane right away if they saw your propensity for scar formation. They want to nip it in the bud. Thatâs different than less severe acne where they would try salicylic acid/benzoyl peroxide before graduating to other products in their arsenal. Thatâs the mistake that occurred with a family member of mine. Doctor was averse to prescribing Accutane and she ended up with a lot of scarring on her face that she still has on her face today (despite undergoing multiple treatments of expensive microneedling and lasers). Canât help but think the doctor didnât want to be liable to a patient being prescribed such a heavy drug. It was certainly not in her best interest.
Waking up to a new video is a BLESSING!!! Like I've just started watching you less than a week ago but I absolutely ADORE you!!!
Thank you for you and everything you do. 3 days ago my beloved dog died and ever since them you were my get-out-of-reality card and I by now I watched about 60 % of yours videos and I have learnt so much. I have never known that this can be so good therapy.
I actually contacted CeraVe some time ago regarding their cruelty-free/vegan policy and they confirmed some of their products ARE vegan and cruelty-free. They suggested to ask them about which products in particular I'm interested in, so they can confirm whether or not they are vegan. So that's definitely an option for vegans before purchasing CeraVe.
P.S.: Love your vids đ
CeraVe in Europe is more oriented towards vegan/cruelty free ingredients. In the US, most of their products include animal sourced ingredients.
Watching Cassandra fangirling over James is so cute đ„°
I love the Welsh gentleman. They make such fun and informative videos. You too Cassandra!
Watching my two favorite skincare gurus while making my skincare routine...just beautiful đŠđ
In Canada, it generally takes over a year to get in with a dermatologist after being referred by a family physician so they usually just prefer to prescribe you some tetracycline/doxycycline/minocycline and tell you to get cetaphil
The way you imitated Jamesâ intro phrases, I live for it đđ»
I just wanted to say I've followed you for a long time on Facebook and recently started watching you on here. Through my depression and the things I've been through I've wanted to start skin care because of you but never had the means or determination. Because of you I bought a whole skin care routine from inkey list and I'm so excited to get my acne prone, combination, stressed AF skin in check, finally! I watch your videos so much my boyfriend got curious, is now watching your videos with me, and is interested in skin care when he viewed skin care before as just putting a lot of chemicals on your skin(which he now knows literally everything is a chemical!). I love you and I don't even know you. You're the most beautiful butterfly of all because you inspire so many people. PLEASE keep doing what you do!!!!
Hi Cassandra! I live in Canada and here more specifically where I live, dermatologists are not common! I recently just decided to contact one myself and it was tough to actually find one. I was diagnosed with rosacea acne and Iâm struggling too say the least! Itâs so painful but Iâm optimistic. I really love your videos and that you believe in affordable skin care just as much as the expensive skin care. You really inspire me to stay hopeful because you have struggled with acne yourself. Thank you!
When i tell you my hand clicked on this faster than when I buy a recommended skincare product from Cassandra IT DID!!!!!!
Yessssshhhh!!!! First comment for the first time. And dermatologist here in India are very accessible, it would generally cost around 5-10$ for their fee in clinic. đđđ
I had relatively mild acne, managed by a simple skincare routine (yes, it was ProactiveâŠdonât hate me). Now my issues at 53 center around fading the damage of being a Southern California girl for 18 years. Iâve had one instance of basal cell carcinoma. I live in SPF clothing, and every cream, primer, and foundation is 30 SPF +. I really love your reactions and your instruction. You have introduced me to The Ordinary, which has been invaluable. Thanks so much for the hard work on your content.
I love you and your content. Adding the twins makes me love you even more!!!!
Iâm from Australia, and to see a dermatologist you first have to see your general practitioner (GP) and get a referral... & thatâs really only done for things like skin cancer, or if you have serious health related skin issues that may be related to a disease (eg psoriasis or lupus). The GP will prescribe things like roaccutane, antibiotics, or retinoids, you donât go to a derm for that.
As a side note, insurance isnât really an issue for us with things like that, itâs a very different system to the way it works in the US.
Basically the same here in Canada! BTW, love your name đ
Similar in the UK too.
Same in New Zealand đ
I'm from Scotland and that's how it works here too. You'll usual try different methods the GP can prescribe, unless it's urgent of course. You then see a derm if nothing is working so it can take time but I ain't complaining though as we are fortunate it's free but going private can be expensive which is why going straight to a derm isn't an option for everyone.
Roaccutane is derm only in Australia.
I was sitting in my chemistry lesson and got this notification. Been excited for hours, now finally watching itđđŠđđŠ
Oh my god this was amazing đđđŠđŠđŠđŠđđ
From Northern Ontario, Canada! takes foreverrrrr to see a derm here because we're so high up North, there just aren't as many dermatologists here as in Toronto (southern ontario)! Love you Cassandra đđ
Cassandra, you are just truly beautiful. It's amazing to see your journey of inside out beauty. Just wow.
I'm in Sweden (I.e. EU) and we don't just pop in for a dermatologist visit, unless it's a private office.
For things like acne you go to a G.P. Last time I checked we didn't even have straight up tretinoin. Only in a product paired with clindamycin.
It sucks, but health care is dirt cheap here otherwise, so I'm not complaining. I'm privileged.
Public and free healthcare is the most amazing thing. Probably the biggest achievement of humankind. Unfortunately dermatology is seen as something extra unless you have serious, skin disease like skin cancer.
Just bought that cleanser!! LOVE. IT. UGH so exciting to see that you use it too. Hyram loves this one
Cassandra I love your content! You make me feel so much better about my acne
Love love love James and Robert!
I'm from Germany and a fellow cyst-er. Currently 22 years old. I've started visiting derms pretty much from the age of 14 or something and been through a handful of them. Unfortunately, noone ever really asked me about my skincare routine or told me how to cleanse or what to use. I really started developing a skincare routine 2,5 years ago. Derms mostly just prescribed me something called Epiduo (Adapalen and Benzoylepeoxide) and always pushed me to either start the pill or accutane. I once did try accutane but my body reacted very poorly to it so after 5 months I had to stop, but even after making it clear that I can't handle accutane they would always come back to it. I don't know if I have just been to the wrong derms or if acne in Germany isn't perceived as a serious matter so there is less knowledge about what one can do. It had a huge impact on my mental health and on the way I viewed and valued myself, and it partly still has an impact, although I can handle it better now. Only recently I have found a derm who actually looked at my skin closely and really asked me what products I use on my face and suggested AHA treatments at his office, which help along with my routine.
So thank you Cassandra for sharing your story and keep trying to help us all know more about our skin and about products that might be helpful to us based on good ingredients!! Love you!
Ok sorry for the long rant guys
I'm also from Germany, I never suffered with acne but I found that the few times I wanted to see a dermatologist for a skin cancer checkup for example it always took over half a year to even be seen. A lot of derms don't even pick up the phone in order for you to make an appointment, it's ridiculous.
Hey ich will dir nicht zu nahe treten aber ich wollte fragen woher du kommst ich bin mittlerweile fast 16 hatte genau die gleichen Erfahrungen wie du und wĂŒrde mich freuen wenn du mir vielleicht den Namen von deinem Arzt geben könntest.
I live in Germany and everyone has insurance so itâs not too pricey. But I feel like the dermatologists prescribe the birth control pill a little too quickly when you have acne. I have never been to a derm because of acne because I have pretty good skin (itâs just very dry and sometimes sensitive) but some friends of mine went there because they have very severe acne and it hasnât gotten better.
I love the Welsh twins. Iâm from the USA was on Accutane as a teenager. Now Iâm 38 and now have dry skin instead of oily. Iâm grateful to you for telling me about the ordinary AHA BHA I used to use apricot scrub. Thank you Cassandra
Iâm so happy Cassandra showed the dear Klairs moisturizer!!! I was looking for one just last night and was trying to apply what Iâve learnt from her about good ingredients! Added this to my cart thinking it seemed good. Yay!
Hey Cassandra, can you make a video about the recent news about the Ordinary, your opinions and predictions as I am a little concerned about formula changes, price increases and it may no longer being cruelty free? :))
I also agree with James, dermatologists usually fix urgent skin emergencies such as diagnosis of skin cancer or severe burns etc. Usually your GP would prescribe acne treatments such as tretinoin or refer to dermatologists if they feel its necessary.
We have free healthcare but to see a dermatologist liberally we would have to go private
I want to see this video too!
The ordinary in its self will probably stay cruelty free as are other brands owned by este Lauder.
I swear I just listened to 35 minutes of Cassandra reciting - word for word - Jamesâ scripts
My favorite youtuber giving us information all the time. Love you Cassandra and james â€
Cassandra, I always look forward to your videos! I find them so interesting and informative, and have always gone by your recommendations. I started getting acne when I was around 13, and it was the worst when I was 15/16. Massive knock to my confidence, painful, kids at school would tell me to âjust wash my faceâ đ¶ Anyway thats when I found your channel, and you helped me so much â€ïžIâm 25 now and have been subscribed from the start, I honestly canât thank you enough.
Keep going girl, Iâll always support you x
I live in Eastern Europe and in my teenage years I thought I was struggling with acne. I went to a few dermatologists and bought a lot of different and expensive products in order to fix my skin. Well at some point I went to a homeopath which was the ONLY doctor that asked me if Iâm having cocoa or coffee that cause irritation. And oh magic! My skin got clean and healthy! In present days doctors donât really bother to treat acne, they just prescribe an antibiotic and send you away.
ive been waiting for your reaction! đ€©
The Welsh twins videos cracks me up so much especially "expiring influencers"
Ahh the perfect break from midnight study/cramming for midterms đ€
Hey Cassandra. I respect your values and morals so much and would like to give you some input on bees from where I live. As mentioned in my other comment, I live in Switzerland and I live on a bee nature trail. Here there are beekeepers to save bees. They help them with building bee stocks, looking out that they have enough water etc. Therefore, I do eat Swiss honey, because it helps the bees. I can't attest to any other countries and how they treat bees. But here there is a strong focus on saving them and beekeepers are essential to that.
Sassy, brilliant and informative as always! Love the content, love the *coughs* *cult* CLUB and love the mutual support between my favourite SkinTubers â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I'm from Austria and honestly, every single dermatologist I've been to (and I've been to a lot), have never taken the time to listen to me and simply prescriped either Benzoyl Peroxide, Differin or Accutane. In the long term, my acne has always come back and I realised that I could heal it through a holistic approach and my own research. Your channel has helped me immensely as well. :)
I'm from the UK! And omg yes it's so true about dermatology! Not so much that it's not popular, feels like it's less of a thing.. it's just not as accessible to us! Unless you have severe severe skin issues then trying to see a dermatologist is like gold dust! It's incredibly frustrating as I feel doctors just don't have the same knowledge and are very black and white when it comes to treating things! Which is why having people like you, James, Hyram, Dr Dray and Dr Sam Bunting is so so valuable and helpful to those of us who can't get access so THANK YOU â€ïžâ€ïž
okay cassandra, I've figured it out. You are the reusable cotton pad/silicone mask of the skincare CZcamsr skincare routine team. You say skincare is self care, but you deliver the information into our brains like these items deliver the toners and serums into our skin. You're environmentally friendly, you love touching faces, and clearly you work very well with our resident toner of this team, King James Welsh
In the UK, generally you would go to the GP (a general practitioner that isnât specialised in a specific field) and they will look at your skin. If they feel you need it they will prescribe you some medications/topicals and would then refer you to a derm if it gets worse. If you want to just see a dermatologist straight away you need to go to a private clinic, as to see a derm under the NHS you have to be referred to one. Thatâs why as James said itâs unlikely for most people to see a dermatologist. If your skin issue isnât serious or severe most case scenario a GP will take care of it.
you're so incredibly well spoken, i love your videos â„
I 100% agree with what James said about dermatologists in the UK! Iâm 17 and suffer from acne and when I first went to a GP about my acne I was immediately given a prescription antibiotic without any questions about my skin-type, skincare routine and I WASNT TOLD TO USE AN SPF!!! However, I never wanted to be referred to a derm because Iâve seen a lot of derms just prescribe Accutane without offering any other support (which I wasnât too keen on taking). But on a different note I absolutely LOVE your videos and youâve helped me immensely on my skin journey
I lived both in Poland and in The Netherlands and seeing dermatologists is, as James said, very uncommon. Your normal doctor has to give you a referral first to go to see a dermatologist. They mainly work in hospitals so if you want to go to a dermatologist, you often have to drive to the hospital. in conclusion, seeing or having a dermatologist at all is mainly for people with really really bad acne or other skin conditions that cannot be treated by your normal âfamilyâ doctor
I think you should review be minimalist brand from india. I think you have some indian viewers as well. Please
Ya,pls if you see this comment consider it. Its a dupe for ordinary as it isnt accessible here in our country.
They are just a copy of ordinary . What's new?!
yes pleAse. also dot and key if you can!!!
Yasss đđ»
Bumping this comment! Iâd be interested in that video
I'm from the UK and it took 13 yrs to get referred to the dermatologist. Building up to that point I was prescribed with numerous acne treatments and antibiotics. Some of which did not work or the results were temporary. My derm has put me on Isotrenoin/Roaccutane and my skin has been the clearest it's ever been! I'm so pleased and finally feel comfortable enough to leave the house without makeup on đ
Iâm from the UK and dermatologists are nearly non-existent, I didnât even hear about them until I got into skincare, even people who suffer from skin issues get prescriptions prescribed by a general practitioner instead of specialised doctors!
I love skincare science and seeing yours and Jameâs channel help me express and enjoy skincare in a way I couldnât before â€ïž
I love your reaction videos with other people's routines! Thank you for explaining what we're seeing đâ€ïž
P.S. "true" olive oil should NOT taste putrid. It CAN sometimes have a stingy, vinegar-ish taste and smell. If it smells bad, don't touch it. đ±

The Netherlands here! Nope, you don't really go to dermatologists. I never have at least. Only when you have a serieus problem you go to your general doctor and if they think it's something they can't do anything about, you get a referral for a dermatologist. It's so weird to me how people in the US just seem to have a personal dermatologist!
Just subscribed!! You are amazing!! So honest and relatable â€ïž
I have suffered years from cystic acne on my chin. I live in the uk. I finally got referred... only waited 20 years. The doctors kept saying it wasnât that bad to see a dermatologist. It was to me and my dermatologist thought the same. I would have changed my doctors but Iâve got fibromyalgia and their care for me is amazing.
Oh yes. They are not the same personnnnnnn. YASSS. Welsh Twins
US - seeing a derm throughout my life has been entirely linked to my insurance coverage. Itâs very frustrating as an adult cystic acne sufferer.
I am from Canada and I donât know if derms are popular but I was lucky enough that my mom was a nurse so she knew some and when my acne was at itâs worst she had me go to a few different ones and was subscribed different things but what helped the most was birth control oddly. Still struggle with adult acne, large pores and some dark spots so ur videos help me so much thank you for being our big Cyster!
I am in Perth, Australia! Sun, sun, sun... I have been here since 2008, coming from Mauritius. I went to see a dermatologist, and was not impressed! Not very educative on my options for skin care and rejuvenation. I do my own research online, and found you!!! Sooo grateful!!
Netherlands here: we need a refural to see a dermatologist. If you get it, it's covered by insurance because then it's medical and not cosmetic. Before you get the refural it is cosmetic.
Same in America
Hi Cassandra, I'm from UK and also in the Welsh twins cult lol. James is correct, seeing a dermatologist isn't a thing here really. I believe you would have to be referred via a doctor to see one. I've learnt so much from you, James and Hyram. My skin thanks you for it đđđđâ€ïž
Hii, as a medical student this 21:47 means a lot to me. THANK YOU!
I love both of you!!!! What support...just yes. đč
I did not know they were twins đđđđđ
Thank you!!
I feel a little silly đ
Congrats To Everyone Who ,Is Early And Who. Found This đ
đ yay
Yay
You are such a beautiful person. Watching your videos I canât help but just smile and feel myself slip into a better mood. You just radiate good energy. Love this channel!
Edit: James & Robert Apply to this comment as well.
Iâm from brazil, and here, dermatologist is really good, and popular as well!! And i love you!!
Cassanda hey i'm watching u from Turkey and it's a lit bit hard to understand while captions unavailable can you turn it on plss lovee yah
I do my skincare routine for an hour too sometimes x"DDD There were times when my fam checked up on me if Im still alive in the bathroom and I was like "uumm X-squiiiz me, im doin my skincare routin k? dont rush me x"D "
I'm originally Greek and in Greece you can just book your appointment with your derm and that's that.
In the Netherlands (where I've been living for the past decade) you can just see a dermatologist. You can only see one with a referral from your GP and since insurance is only private they don't really give out referrals unless you have a more serious specific complain and you insist on seeing one. Still the waiting list is 2 months. I think the UK is similar to that.
I'm in the UK and I was never referred to a derm whenever I went to the doctors with my skin issues. I sort out my derm as an adult even though i struggled for years as a teen with rosacea, eczema and hyper pigmentation. I'm so glad I put care into myself and my skin.
