As an esthetician from South Africa I can tell you Dermalogica is pretty huge in SA too. I’ve had the pleasure of being training intensively on their different products, the brand and what makes them different. Who they are as a company and a brand by putting education on top of their list amongst other things is refreshing and I love it as our industry is forever changing and evolving. Could you please do a video on Environ?😊
I just bought some Dermalogica face wash today…so happy this is a positive review of the brand! I really like their face wash, using it after a cleansing face oil leaves my skin glowing
I try to avoid buying from companies owned by Unilever wherever possible. It's not easy to completely avoid companies like Unilever and Nestlé, but I think it's important that we do so wherever we can.
hear hear same here! Unilever is mentioned at 10:48. I totally understand Cassandra Banksons enthusiasm seeing the photos of her former skin and I am intrigued about the book: 'skin in the game' and may well read it.
i listened to her talking about how she founded the brand from zero to today in a podcast months ago and i was so so impressed. she was definitely not the one who i think she was. i’m really happy and proud to see you got invited there as a speaker 😍. thanks for showing us the behind the scenes with full transparency as usual 🖤
I was always highly skeptical of the brand due to their prices but my friend always stood by a lot of their products and she had a substantial acne journey. So, she gave me tons of samples from the brand because she works at an esthe-school and yeah I fuck with them heavy now with exceptions ofc but this brand saved me from my dermatillomania
Can u explain just a tad on how this brand specifically helped with dermatillomania? I've been disgnosed with this and even been put on an oral prescription medication for it which did not work, unfortunately, as well as work with a therapist on my picking compulsion, and id really like to hear about HOW this brand has helped you, if its about a specific product, or something else.
@@mdonbrosky88 hi Melanie! Thank you for asking and for sharing what you’re going through too. I think the products overall helped because they gave me hope if that’s not cheesy lmao. I saw my skin react to products positively in a way I had not before, and I didn’t feel helpless or that all skincare would fail me? Ofc it’s a hard illness to face and time is your best friend when it comes to healing, but it’s nice to see products that genuinely support your healing. That doesn’t mean you need their whole line, but picking up one or two of their products to fit a current need of yours isnt a bad idea imo. I enjoy their calming line for when I have redness and if you have the money the adult acne and vitamin c products are pretty great. I also really like the clear start brand as a whole and their prices are more friendly. But im just me!!! Idk what your needs are and always do research but I hope this made some sense!!
@@KatsukiBakugos Similar experience - I used to work in a spa, and I remember one of the staff telling me Dermalogica changed her life. Big expectations! And it did revolutionise my skin, I was in my 30s at the time (wow - this was nearly 20 years ago). I still obsessively inspect my pores, but if there's no acne, there's nothing to gouge out. These were the first products that really made a difference to my skin, clearing blemishes, reducing breakouts, pigmentation (scars, hormonal, sun). The Daily Microfoliant is the main one that really works for me, and I've been going back it over and over for almost 2 decades. They're just launched a milder Milkfoliant which I've just bought to try. The products aren't cheap, but they last for ages & reliably *work*, which is such a relief.
I work as an esthetician at a Spa that uses Dermalogica products and I have to say that I love their education classes that we esthetician’s have access to get to a Expert level of learning more about their products and skincare overall. I like you, like looking into ingredients and want to learn as much as possible about skincare lines in my career as a esthetician. I do have my favorite products from Dermalogica that I feel have helped me with my skin issues. Love this video and I think I will have to pick up this book!
I used to get facials at Ulta and they use dermalogica products. There is this face wash or that smells soo refreshing and amazing I never knew the name. When I went back and want it to buy the product the person wasn't there to help me with the product. Do you know which product it might be?
@@vanessap8422 I used and like the Special Cleansing gel..? Other ones that it could be : Ultra Calming cleanser (creamy white and thicker consistency) Or the Resurfacing Cleanser (anti-aging white cleanser) both have a scent to them. Or the Dermal clay cleanser too ..(refreshing feeling and good for combo/ oily skin, great paired with the daily microfolient) My guess would be probably one of those?
I'm actually surprised they invited you when a lot of brands are scared to do so because of your honesty and unedited opinion. That really seals the deal for me (eventhough I already did long time) because it shows they are unafraid and have integrity and faith with their company, people and products when other brands would be scared to invite you because you might expose something from them. I don't make the efforts of knowing a company' s ethics but I'm glad that your channel exists and I am able to support the brands that matches my ethics. Thanks !
Might be that this is a genuine brand, but I feel like they're overpriced anyway. I don't see why I shall pay 40 bugs or more for a cream or a cleanser.
I use their daily exfoliator and my aesthetician uses a lot of their products and sells them. My skin has responded really well :) so I was so scared when I saw this review
I got some freebie dermalogica products to try out. One of them was a face wash. Even before I rinsed it off my face my skin was burning. I ended up with a rash all over my face that was there for a week. I haven't been able to bring myself to use it since. As a rule my skin is usually okay with most things but that was the most intense reaction I have ever had to anything.
Oh, this was sooooo cool to watch! I've worked directly for a brand and went mall to mall talking to so many people about their skin and skin insecurities. Skin care and makeup is so personal to each person and it gave me such joy to see the smiles and relaxation in each consult. If I could rewind or if I won the lottery I would go back to school to be an esthetician. It must feel amazing to work in a field that you are passionate about.
Hey! Fellow Estitician here. Dermologica products are full of essential oils and fragrances and irritate the hell outta my skin and alot of people eczema can't use their products either. I will probably never recommend them to any one I know ever and it irritates me that Dermologica products are used in so many Esthetician schools across the country.
Thank you for keeping it freaking real lol I have eczema too as well as seborrheic dermatitis and the ingredient list of alot of their products are disturbing for my skin personally.
@@karawaller9772 dermalogica doesn’t work for people of color specifically just based on the ingredients alone. I do believe you though I’m sure it works for some people but for most people that go to school with me (ogle who has a partnership with dermalogica) it’s made all of our skin worse.
This so soo true there are ot of irritants also with fragrance oil. Honestly the ordinary , the inkeylist , versed , crave, naturism, good molecules , olay , peach slices and elf in my opinion skincare products for skin of color
Jane is such an inspiration! As a new esthetician it’s amazing to see people like Jane make huge accomplishments in the industry! I respect and admire her so much, makes me so proud to be a part of this dynamic industry 💙💙
Dermalogica is quite elite skincare in my country. However they lack severely when it comes to ingredients and transparency on their products. Most of the packaging box or bottle doesnt have anything useful or informative on them. Really annoying, which just make alternative brands seem more genuine because they share and show that information.
@@jacquelinealbin7712 Main ingredients for a start. They all have a description of what its supposed to do, but doesnt tell you how it does that. Compare them with other brands like CeRave for example. You dont have to go to a website to find out whats inside.
I just finished esthetics school and we used dermalogica products. I wanted to learn more about them and the history of their brand so this video was very insightful! ❤
Cassie, you can be so sarcastic and funny but I love the warm energy coming through this video from you and how you were genuinely impressed with the brand, the people and Jane. ❤❤❤
I've had the privilege of visiting Dermalogica (for an IT project) and it is an amazing facility. Everyone there was so friendly. It was an amazing experience.
Big fan of Dermaloica and Jane the founder! As a trained cosmologist I’ve had the pleasure of going to MSP location of IDI and learning from some of the staff! Overall such a great experience!!
I was so fortunate to attend a Dermalogica partnered school. The school sucked, but Dermalogica opened a lot of doors to free education. They gave me opportunities I never would have had if I'd gone to another school. On top of all the free Dermalogica classes, I also get free IDI classes. I got a bad impression of them when I received my first facial in school. I wound up being allergic to the calming botanical mixer & broke out in hives. Active Moist caused TEWL & dried me out for months after I stopped using it. However, Precleanse introduced me to oil cleansing. I don't know how I survived before oil cleansing. It took away all the texture I'd been trying to exfoliate with chemicals & abrasives. I wish they'd come out with a balm. I also swear by Microfoliant. I've struggled with sebaceous filaments in my chin forever. Microfoliant is the *only* thing that gets them out. I needed something gentle enough to use regularly because they fill up so fast & microfoliant was the answer. I hate that it gets a bad reputation because it's so commonly misused. If it's not fully whipped, it's not being used correctly. They say it'll whip in your hands but it never does. I put it in a bowl & beat it with a fan brush.
Alway liked their products but they are very expensive. Compare to the quality of products available in the market with reasonable price, demologica is not worth it
Dermalogica HQ looks dope. I never knew how insightful and genuine the owner was, too. Definitely picking up the book. You should make a book recommendations vid!
Loved the video!!❤️❤️ But we need to know the books that you recommend about dermatology and ingredients ASAP!! I want to buy them and understand more about those topics.
Most people start businesses when they have a good idea and then they see potential money coming from it (no one jumps into a business to make losses) and a lot of them might not have a PhD in that subject but they work with people who have the right knowledge.. just saying 🤷
I got a Dermalogica kit in Cosmetology school and I had to throw most of it out right away, burned my face/bad reactions. I never believed in the "Derma" part of their name 100%
My skin actually reacts really well to their products. So I think it depends on your skin. For example mine hates neutrogena :( it makes my skin extremely oily 😵💫
It did kind of trigger my cynicism. I got a sense of "Dermalogica invited some influencers, gave them a lovely tour, facials, made them feel special, because it's good publicity". That doesn't mean the founder isn't a lovely and inspiring woman or that the skincare is bad, but I can guarantee that people like Cassandra were allowed to see things and speak to people only if they showed the company in a good light.
Well no fragrance, but linalool and tons of essential oils. Looking at derms and other skin experts channels, they don’t recommend those products as they surprisingly contain many irritant ingredients… they even put citrus peel oil in their spf, and again fragrant ingredients.
A number of natural or clean brands or luxury brands use essential oils and fruit/flower waters and extracts but call themselves fragrance free because they don't use synthetic fragrances. If you have allergies, you have to be careful and read the ingredients.
I'm incredibly proud of you, especially because you are recognised outside this platform. 🥳 Bravo to you!!!!(and me following you for such a long time 😉) Love from Croatia 😘
Hi there, great video i have used Dermaloagica products on and off over the years have really enjoyed them and great products just wish they weren't so expensive, was just wandering if you can perhaps do a video on Olay's 24hr Retinol night moisturizer and Olay's 24hr Retinol serum. Cheers
@@leylanipaola I understand but I'm looking at it from a US point. Olay isn't in the US so she wouldn't necessarily feature them on the channel but again, a number of US derms, recommend the retinol products.
I won IDI Scholorship! From all my training this is incredible! Education for skin is so vital as an esthetician.. It's healing the outside and inside!
I have never had a positive experience with Dermalogica. I have been an esthetician for 3 years and every person from the brand who I have met has been racist. When I have asked (multiple) people about studies on BIPOC skin, I’ve been told the same thing in multiple different ways, “That’s not our clientele because people of that background can’t afford our products. We don’t need to do the research because they won’t buy our stuff.” And when I told them that many BIPOC people could afford their stuff but half of it makes me and (from what I had noticed from working on BIPOC clients) a majority of BIPOC peoples skin have negative reactions, so even if we wanted to, we couldn’t use their products. I have always gotten hives from their products, and it made a lot of my BIPOC clientele end up with even worse hyperpigmentation than when they came in. I officially stopped using the brand and I’ve never had a problem like that since. This may not be everyone’s experience with the brand, but this is my experience and what I and my clients have noticed from the brand and their products.
After doing my morning skincare routine with my dermalogica products this morning, I wondered if you had anything to say about the brand, because I honestly love it so much. I do use a couple alternatives, when I can’t afford a few of the products sometimes, but they are my first choice always. I spent years sifting through product, until I finally tried them years ago. All I have to say is that I’m so happy I found this video. How cool that you were able to visit and had so many great things to say. I notice a huge difference in my skin, when I use their product. I just feel better, you know?
Bought the complete base kit, I like it but not all the products and it's too expensive. The only thing I liked was the pre cleanse which is a really normal and fine oil, the gel cleanser is light too, the microfoliant is not great for sensible skin, it can irritate. The thing I dislike the most is the face cream!!! It makes my pores clogged, I have combination skin and it makes me full of blackheads and excessive sebum, like it seats on my pores... I use it only on my cheeks cause it hydrates the dry areas I have.
I’m sooo happy u did this cause these are products with great reviews and they are available in India🤩 and the price is kinda recent as long as the products are good . Thank you soo much
Thanks for another great episode. Hoping you might consider some episodes on cosmetics. I only use cruelty free products and am totally LOST in this huge market. Ingredient list reading? WTF?!! You are my North Star for cruelty free. Please help!
That video convinced me, just like all the Ordinary videos lol... But on the real, I have heard of Dermalogica, but never knew about the person behind her. I have to save up for, and hopefully I can find a great facialist here in Montreal, Canada
I used Dermalogica when studying to become an esthetician & while some products don’t work for my skin, they definitely have a huge variety of amazing products that have the science to back it up. I recommend anyone who’s into skin care, to at least have one dermalogica product in their skin care cabinet ♥️ Also, lovely video
I don’t know why but I got so teary eyed watching this video. I find it so refreshing that the founder of Dermalogica is so much more and that they are truly a brand dedicated to taking care of skin. I double cleanse and tone my skin using Dermalogica products. I have also found some products that I like (the sleeping cocoon is one of them) but sometimes I look at the price and I wonder if it’s really worth it. Thank you for this video. It makes me feel more comfortable about spending my money on their brand. Blessings to you always ❤️🥰
Hi Casandra.. Ur words are bible for us in world of skin care... Plzzz can u make vedio about skin POLISH creams... These are so much common in asia and i never understand if its good or bad for us.
Have you ever used or heard about Filorga? It’s a really expensive brand but apparently it is worth it, I wanted to know if you had an opinion on the products but I can’t seem to find anything , if you’re looking to review something new, I’d love to hear your take on it as we don’t have a lot of the brands you talk about in my country and it’s hard to find things here that work and isn’t complete trash
Love love love Dermalogica. Do I love them all? No, but that doesn't mean I'll stop using, I'll just use something that works well for me. And after 10+ years of using Dermalogica and sometimes trying to stray, I always come back to it. They have certain products that work well for me and my skin loves it.
Dermalogica is really pricey for its products, despite relatively simple and good formulations. I remember coming across it in South Korea in a pharmacy drugstore, and the price of one particular product such as the moisturizer (such as Skin Smoothing Cream) retailed at the same price as in America, but at half the quantity (50ml instead of 100ml for approximately 50 to 55 USD equivalent). With that pricing, I would rather settle for cheaper alternatives.
Can you please tell me how the difference is made from a legal point of view between professional products and those that are only for home use? Are they analyzes or specific documents? How to decide if a product can be used in the salon or only at home?
You literally brought tears to my eyes, Cassandra. Just your passion and transparency gives me such joy and delight to my soul. I want to be an esthetician so badly! I am about to be s brand new mother this month and so i believe that dream will hsve to continue to go on hold. Through watching your experience with Dermalogica and what you received out of it & Janes story, I have more hope for my future and seeing REAL PEOPLE. Like you said, she didn't act "untouchable", and is still a woman of morals and value. I believe I see that in you. A LOT of CZcamsrs think they are superior to us regular, every day people... But you don't act like that and are so honest. I admire that greatly about you! I know you were born in the same year as me, 1992! It must have been a great year..😉 Keep shining bright and God bless you sweet girl! I love you! 😘💗
I'm currently in esthetician school and we use dermalogical products. I definitely think the prices are quite high... But I found some products are actually really nice. If people can afford it, I would recommend some. I also love their educational website! They have such great videos to learn and build your skills better.
Hi Cassandra! Great video ;) there is one thing I don’t totally agree from my personal perspective as a pharmacist in Poland, I often have patients with skin concerns coming to the drugstore looking for an advise regarding cosmetics or OTC topical products and additionally talking about their feelings or problems It’s most definitely due to the fact that dermatological brands like cerave (which is btw new, and has very limited portfolio in Poland), la roche posay, bioderma etc are exclusively sold in pharmacies Sure not all pharmacists are educated enough to provide with cosmetological advice, but I love this topic, and continue to educate myself to help others In my opinion, pharmacy is the most available place for people financially and geographically to talk to healthcare proffesional with medical university degree
Was curious how you felt about the brands formulas and results before this experience. I’ve been using Dermalogica since age 15 , currently 32. Today I switched from the special cleansing gel to the ultra calming cleanser due to new availability and my skins problems started at birth with sever eczema on the face so hydrating alongside with moisture barrier repair is essential….For scarring left from years of skin issues I have used “the concentrate” by La Mer to get deep down and actually repair those uneven spots and the results were overwhelmingly visible and didn’t reverse back after discontinuation..regardless of the products status and I don’t recommend this as a “daily” skincare product. Where as Dermalogica has seemed to target all issues and all ages in what feels to me like a safe manner.
I like the comparison to hair and skin care…..we just all accept that we have different hair…curly, straight, thin, thick, etc but with skin, there is shame attached to the different condition! I had never thought of that!
LOL I was scouring the comments and you're the ONLY other person that seems to want to hear what they actually said. Weird format to show a panel discussion and just voiceover with not a word spoken by the founder on tape.
I love Dermalogica thanks to an amazing little salon that use their products for their Pro60 facials. My congested ageing skin has never looked better. The best thing, nobody has ever tried to sell me expensive Dermalogica products after my facial, in fact my facialist recommended I use up any and all brands I have, including cheap as chips drugstore brands I love like Simple! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I truly appreciate the work you put into your videos, with the different pieces you put in all together, and also, the editing making it like a little movie. I love it
Great video! I love the title because it doesn't give anything away and really makes you want to watch! Learned a TON from this video and now want to try this brand and its all due to THIS VIDEO! 😍
Great video Cassandra!!! What an amazing opportunity for you!!! I’d love to see a video on more books that you recommend! Definitely will be picking up Jane’s book!!!
Hello, miss Cassandra! I am a big fan and I started being a butterfly just this year and I took all your advice to heart and I love everything about it. I hope you see this comment and also I hope you make a video that also includes the body. I am experiencing drastic stretch marks in my body and I want to know how to heal these scars if it's even possible to heal this because it's actually deep. I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THIS REQUEST FOR A NEW BUTTERFLY! Always watch your videos and STAY SAFE!
wow this is very eye opening. i never considered Dermologica bc of the price point (i honestly never even looked at their options more than half a second) but i think now id like to see what they have. this seems like a brand i can get behind! #putyourmoneywhereyourmoralsare
That was 🔥, as always another great video.
Btw I’m watching this while doing my nighttime skincare routine:)
Yess I loved the new style!

I've struggled with sebaceous filaments in my chin forever. Microfoliant is the *only* thing that gets them out. I needed something gentle enough to use regularly because they fill up so fast & microfoliant was the answer. I hate that it gets a bad reputation because it's so commonly misused. If it's not fully whipped, it's not being used correctly. They say it'll whip in your hands but it never does. I put it in a bowl & beat it with a fan brush.
Girl you had me worried with that title lol the very first dermalogica podcast episode is Jane sharing her story and she’s quite amazing
this is the best ad I have ever seen, wow she really is good at selling you stuff
Alway liked their products but they are very expensive. Compare to the quality of products available in the market with reasonable price, demologica is not worth it
Dermalogica HQ looks dope. I never knew how insightful and genuine the owner was, too. Definitely picking up the book. You should make a book recommendations vid!
Beautiful! I loved this video. So happy to hear how she runs her business. It makes me appreciate the brand even more than I already do. ❤️
Oh my goodness, Cassandra, I started crying at 9:50.... :'(
I love you and I am so thankful for everything I learned from you! ♡
Loved the video!!❤️❤️ But we need to know the books that you recommend about dermatology and ingredients ASAP!! I want to buy them and understand more about those topics.
Most people start businesses when they have a good idea and then they see potential money coming from it (no one jumps into a business to make losses) and a lot of them might not have a PhD in that subject but they work with people who have the right knowledge.. just saying 🤷
So is this video sponsored by Dermalogica? Unless I missed something you don't make it clear.
I’m at the end of my current book and was just thinking what will I read next and crossed this video …. 🙏👍
I’m so sad we didn’t get to hear your questions on the panel :(
I got a Dermalogica kit in Cosmetology school and I had to throw most of it out right away, burned my face/bad reactions. I never believed in the "Derma" part of their name 100%
I always looked into buying some skincare from them thanks for this
My skin hates Dermalogica
My skin actually reacts really well to their products. So I think it depends on your skin. For example mine hates neutrogena :( it makes my skin extremely oily 😵💫
Nah, something don’t sit well with me this video…. Cool that you got a treat tho!
It did kind of trigger my cynicism. I got a sense of "Dermalogica invited some influencers, gave them a lovely tour, facials, made them feel special, because it's good publicity".
That doesn't mean the founder isn't a lovely and inspiring woman or that the skincare is bad, but I can guarantee that people like Cassandra were allowed to see things and speak to people only if they showed the company in a good light.
Well no fragrance, but linalool and tons of essential oils. Looking at derms and other skin experts channels, they don’t recommend those products as they surprisingly contain many irritant ingredients… they even put citrus peel oil in their spf, and again fragrant ingredients.
A number of natural or clean brands or luxury brands use essential oils and fruit/flower waters and extracts but call themselves fragrance free because they don't use synthetic fragrances. If you have allergies, you have to be careful and read the ingredients.
I hate citrus in skin care, it has absolutely irritated my skin and I now avoid it.
Great video! I don’t personally use dermologica, but it’s very inspiring story
I'm incredibly proud of you, especially because you are recognised outside this platform.
🥳 Bravo to you!!!!(and me following you for such a long time 😉)
Love from Croatia 😘
i use their products in school and not really a fan :/
Same, I’ve noticed it doesn’t work well on BIPOC skin, and also has a lot of unnecessary essential oils
Hi there, great video i have used Dermaloagica products on and off over the years have really enjoyed them and great products just wish they weren't so expensive, was just wandering if you can perhaps do a video on Olay's 24hr Retinol night moisturizer and Olay's 24hr Retinol serum. Cheers
They aren't cruelty free but a number of derm channels recommend them.
@@db-gb5xi they are cruelty free but they only aren’t in countries where it’s required
@@leylanipaola I understand but I'm looking at it from a US point. Olay isn't in the US so she wouldn't necessarily feature them on the channel but again, a number of US derms, recommend the retinol products.
@@db-gb5xi they are cruelty free in the US i’m also in the US
@@leylanipaola Depends on the site you check.
I won IDI Scholorship! From all my training this is incredible! Education for skin is so vital as an esthetician.. It's healing the outside and inside!
I have never had a positive experience with Dermalogica. I have been an esthetician for 3 years and every person from the brand who I have met has been racist. When I have asked (multiple) people about studies on BIPOC skin, I’ve been told the same thing in multiple different ways, “That’s not our clientele because people of that background can’t afford our products. We don’t need to do the research because they won’t buy our stuff.” And when I told them that many BIPOC people could afford their stuff but half of it makes me and (from what I had noticed from working on BIPOC clients) a majority of BIPOC peoples skin have negative reactions, so even if we wanted to, we couldn’t use their products. I have always gotten hives from their products, and it made a lot of my BIPOC clientele end up with even worse hyperpigmentation than when they came in. I officially stopped using the brand and I’ve never had a problem like that since.
This may not be everyone’s experience with the brand, but this is my experience and what I and my clients have noticed from the brand and their products.
Dermalogica is cruelty free but owned by Unilever 😞 and not 100% vegan 🥺
That’s true, but Jane is still in charge!!
After doing my morning skincare routine with my dermalogica products this morning, I wondered if you had anything to say about the brand, because I honestly love it so much. I do use a couple alternatives, when I can’t afford a few of the products sometimes, but they are my first choice always. I spent years sifting through product, until I finally tried them years ago. All I have to say is that I’m so happy I found this video. How cool that you were able to visit and had so many great things to say. I notice a huge difference in my skin, when I use their product. I just feel better, you know?
Bought the complete base kit, I like it but not all the products and it's too expensive. The only thing I liked was the pre cleanse which is a really normal and fine oil, the gel cleanser is light too, the microfoliant is not great for sensible skin, it can irritate. The thing I dislike the most is the face cream!!! It makes my pores clogged, I have combination skin and it makes me full of blackheads and excessive sebum, like it seats on my pores... I use it only on my cheeks cause it hydrates the dry areas I have.
I love Aveda kiehls sothys,I do have dermologica cleanser for. Dry skin
I’m sooo happy u did this cause these are products with great reviews and they are available in India🤩 and the price is kinda recent as long as the products are good .
Thank you soo much
She reminds me of Halle Berry's Catwoman skincare villain played by Sharon Stone 😂But actually she is really wonderful!
Thanks for another great episode. Hoping you might consider some episodes on cosmetics. I only use cruelty free products and am totally LOST in this huge market. Ingredient list reading? WTF?!! You are my North Star for cruelty free. Please help!
Products that still contain animal parts and have the label cruelty free aren't in fact cruelty free, please keep that in mind.
@@steptanm agreed Tanya
That video convinced me, just like all the Ordinary videos lol... But on the real, I have heard of Dermalogica, but never knew about the person behind her. I have to save up for, and hopefully I can find a great facialist here in Montreal, Canada
I used Dermalogica when studying to become an esthetician & while some products don’t work for my skin, they definitely have a huge variety of amazing products that have the science to back it up. I recommend anyone who’s into skin care, to at least have one dermalogica product in their skin care cabinet ♥️ Also, lovely video
I don’t know why but I got so teary eyed watching this video. I find it so refreshing that the founder of Dermalogica is so much more and that they are truly a brand dedicated to taking care of skin.
I double cleanse and tone my skin using Dermalogica products. I have also found some products that I like (the sleeping cocoon is one of them) but sometimes I look at the price and I wonder if it’s really worth it.
Thank you for this video. It makes me feel more comfortable about spending my money on their brand. Blessings to you always ❤️🥰
they are expensive because they have alot of employees to pay out...research....packaging....warehouse...etc. i dont think its about the ingredients.
Such a refreshing and educational content.
Hi Casandra.. Ur words are bible for us in world of skin care... Plzzz can u make vedio about skin POLISH creams... These are so much common in asia and i never understand if its good or bad for us.
Have you ever used or heard about Filorga? It’s a really expensive brand but apparently it is worth it, I wanted to know if you had an opinion on the products but I can’t seem to find anything , if you’re looking to review something new, I’d love to hear your take on it as we don’t have a lot of the brands you talk about in my country and it’s hard to find things here that work and isn’t complete trash
Cyrille Laurent (France) has a video on them.
Love love love Dermalogica. Do I love them all? No, but that doesn't mean I'll stop using, I'll just use something that works well for me. And after 10+ years of using Dermalogica and sometimes trying to stray, I always come back to it. They have certain products that work well for me and my skin loves it.
Dermalogica is so good! I avoid their cleansers, but their serums, eye creams & moisturisers are really enjoyable❤
Dermalogica is really pricey for its products, despite relatively simple and good formulations. I remember coming across it in South Korea in a pharmacy drugstore, and the price of one particular product such as the moisturizer (such as Skin Smoothing Cream) retailed at the same price as in America, but at half the quantity (50ml instead of 100ml for approximately 50 to 55 USD equivalent). With that pricing, I would rather settle for cheaper alternatives.
This style of video is so so good. Great job as always 🦋
Yessss
Completely agree
im looking into a Dermalogica partnered school and I really loved seeing this so much.
This looks like a very well-paid ad. Great video!
I was so worried at first cause I just invested in all Dermalogica skin care! 😅
Omg I’m so happy to hear this I just decided to choose Dermalogica for my spa/facial bar and this makes my feel more than great about my choice ❤
The Dermalogica vitamin C serum badly burned my skin. Had a terrible reaction to it.
Can you please tell me how the difference is made from a legal point of view between professional products and those that are only for home use? Are they analyzes or specific documents? How to decide if a product can be used in the salon or only at home?
You literally brought tears to my eyes, Cassandra.
Just your passion and transparency gives me such joy and delight to my soul. I want to be an esthetician so badly! I am about to be s brand new mother this month and so i believe that dream will hsve to continue to go on hold. Through watching your experience with Dermalogica and what you received out of it & Janes story, I have more hope for my future and seeing REAL PEOPLE. Like you said, she didn't act "untouchable", and is still a woman of morals and value. I believe I see that in you. A LOT of CZcamsrs think they are superior to us regular, every day people... But you don't act like that and are so honest. I admire that greatly about you! I know you were born in the same year as me, 1992! It must have been a great year..😉
Keep shining bright and God bless you sweet girl! I love you! 😘💗
I'm currently in esthetician school and we use dermalogical products. I definitely think the prices are quite high... But I found some products are actually really nice. If people can afford it, I would recommend some. I also love their educational website! They have such great videos to learn and build your skills better.
You are The Skintellectual Wonder Woman! ❤️Love you…and thank you for ALL you do❣️❣️❣️
i purchased it!!!!! the sample seemed so interesting! and i could use some inspirations in this moment :)
Cassandra, can you make a video on your favorite Dernalogica products? I purchased their retinol oil which is great.
Bought the audio book. Thank you Cassandra! Greetings from South Africa. 😊📙
I was introduced to Dermalogica in 1993. I love most of their products and I love the the entire premise of Dermalogica.
Hi Cassandra! Great video ;) there is one thing I don’t totally agree from my personal perspective as a pharmacist in Poland, I often have patients with skin concerns coming to the drugstore looking for an advise regarding cosmetics or OTC topical products and additionally talking about their feelings or problems
It’s most definitely due to the fact that dermatological brands like cerave (which is btw new, and has very limited portfolio in Poland), la roche posay, bioderma etc are exclusively sold in pharmacies
Sure not all pharmacists are educated enough to provide with cosmetological advice, but I love this topic, and continue to educate myself to help others
In my opinion, pharmacy is the most available place for people financially and geographically to talk to healthcare proffesional with medical university degree
Was curious how you felt about the brands formulas and results before this experience. I’ve been using Dermalogica since age 15 , currently 32. Today I switched from the special cleansing gel to the ultra calming cleanser due to new availability and my skins problems started at birth with sever eczema on the face so hydrating alongside with moisture barrier repair is essential….For scarring left from years of skin issues I have used “the concentrate” by La Mer to get deep down and actually repair those uneven spots and the results were overwhelmingly visible and didn’t reverse back after discontinuation..regardless of the products status and I don’t recommend this as a “daily” skincare product. Where as Dermalogica has seemed to target all issues and all ages in what feels to me like a safe manner.
PS…I went into this video absolutely terrified and could not have left happier. Not only on a personal skincare routine level but an ethical level.
I love dermalogica products, I have a handful of their products that are in my daily and weekly routine.
I like the comparison to hair and skin care…..we just all accept that we have different hair…curly, straight, thin, thick, etc but with skin, there is shame attached to the different condition! I had never thought of that!
Beautiful example of what women in business can do for their communities!!!
Nuxe products... Has anyone heard about it?!...
Can I get a review on this skincare brand?
Check out Melissa Van Djik' channel. She's talked about it.
@@db-gb5xi thank you 🌹
Can you link the video of your actual tour and talk with dermalogica???
LOL I was scouring the comments and you're the ONLY other person that seems to want to hear what they actually said. Weird format to show a panel discussion and just voiceover with not a word spoken by the founder on tape.
I love Dermalogica thanks to an amazing little salon that use their products for their Pro60 facials. My congested ageing skin has never looked better. The best thing, nobody has ever tried to sell me expensive Dermalogica products after my facial, in fact my facialist recommended I use up any and all brands I have, including cheap as chips drugstore brands I love like Simple! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This feels like a brand advertisement. The products are filled with irritating products. Not very suitable for skin of colour.
Please make a video for skincare worth the splurge for Sephora VIB Sale!! :D I have enjoyed so much of your skincare reviews!
Ugh!!!! Im crying!!! Awesome story ❤
Where can we watch the actual panel discussion? Was a bit weird this video was about Jane and we didn't hear her speak a word.
I would like to know your product recommendations for dermatalogica. I've always been curious just to dabble into
I truly appreciate the work you put into your videos, with the different pieces you put in all together, and also, the editing making it like a little movie. I love it
Could you do a video on different books you would recommend?
why did I get emotional watching this video - love you Cassandra
I love dermalogica and I use it in my spa
I thought lanolin is meant to be good for skin because it’s skin identical?
Great video! I love the title because it doesn't give anything away and really makes you want to watch! Learned a TON from this video and now want to try this brand and its all due to THIS VIDEO! 😍
I really love your channel, but I really wish this video was not sponsored...
You really should try or search for brazilian skincare lines from CREAMY, SALLVE and PRINCIPIA
Great video Cassandra!!! What an amazing opportunity for you!!! I’d love to see a video on more books that you recommend! Definitely will be picking up Jane’s book!!!
Can you post or link some books that go into detail with skin care ingredients?! ❤
I really want to try their products. Kind of hard to get them in Japan. 🥺
Loved this video❣️ Thanks for pulling back the curtain on this remarkable brand ❤️
🌟🦋 You made me cry today!!! I loved everything!!!
I love their microfoliant, works very well for me.
Hello, miss Cassandra! I am a big fan and I started being a butterfly just this year and I took all your advice to heart and I love everything about it. I hope you see this comment and also I hope you make a video that also includes the body. I am experiencing drastic stretch marks in my body and I want to know how to heal these scars if it's even possible to heal this because it's actually deep. I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THIS REQUEST FOR A NEW BUTTERFLY! Always watch your videos and STAY SAFE!
She has an old video on stretch marks but your best bet is derms. There are a number of videos.
wow this is very eye opening. i never considered Dermologica bc of the price point (i honestly never even looked at their options more than half a second) but i think now id like to see what they have. this seems like a brand i can get behind! #putyourmoneywhereyourmoralsare
I'm just going to say that I love you girl 🦋💙
Dermalogica is OG. It’s the only brand that saved my face and my acne. I will never use another brand again, Dermalogica, for the win.
