After using riceberry face serum by litttleextrra for three weeks, here's what I experienced: Benefits: It successfully softens and evens out the skin, giving it a gentle glow. I've also seen a decrease in my genetic dark circles (avoiding the eye area is recommended). It has also helped fade dark spots on my sister's skin. Downsides: Personally, mine is dry and dull skin, and using the serum every day exacerbated my dryness. I recommend using it thrice a week along with a effective moisturizer to prevent dryness. I haven't seen any noticeable improvement in bronzing or skin tone issues in first 3 weeks. Update 2 months later: After nearly two months of consistent use, I regard it my go-to serum. It has started showing promising outcomes. My skin glows, dark circles lessened, and dark spots reduced a lot. So patience is key when using this face serum.

@0Riyadh0 7 месяцев назад

I’ve been using pycnogenol under my sunscreen for two years because you mentioned it before and worked on my skin like wonders, but I started using tretinoin before 7 months and I noticed that my skin gets red and irritated if I use pycnogenol so I stopped using it until I finished using tretinoin

@CassandraBankson 7 месяцев назад

I’m so happy that it worked wonders for you! But yes, using it along with Tow, it might be a little bit much, especially since the tretinoin is oil, soluble and the pycnogenol is an anhydrous solution meaning that it is more of an oily base. This could potentially mean that the tretinoin really gets comfortable in that oily solution, and perhaps penetrates deeper or differently. Great job, isolating your variables, and doing one thing at a time to help any irritation! So proud of you.

@danilyons2367 7 месяцев назад

I couldn’t use vitamin c as it gave me eczema around my eyes. However I found I could use it in the form of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate for some reason so I stick with those.

@niccoloreiss842 7 месяцев назад

My go to vitamin c is educated mess golden hour. It was specifically studied on sensitive skin with no issues. The gold and glutathione complex also fully stabilizes the vitamin c, and increases penetration and efficacy while making the vitamin c way more gentle. It’s kind of a paradoxical complex in a sense but when you read into how it works it makes sense and obviously isn’t a real paradox.

@johanaantonova740 7 месяцев назад

Yes! What you said about the 'problems' with vitamin C formulas is 100% true for me. I tried to use the Ordinary's 8% vitamin C, 2% alpha arbutin and I absolutely hated the formula. It made me flush, it heated up my skin for minutes and the oil just sat on the skin. I used up the whole bottle and I think I saw some improvements in my skin, but I won't buy it again. My other problem with finding skincare in general is that I don't make any money yet, so my budget is very limited. So I just use Ordinary's products and some drugstore products that are availible for me (in Europe). And I managed to fing a vitamin C formula that I actually like among those drugstore products, which I'm very happy with

I know it is an anhydrous solution (no water solution) so it can be a bit oily and I could see the rest of the formula, causing some breakouts in those that are super .

Like my skin was smooth as fuck, as I also used retinol and other actives, but not only do I have very sensitive and reactive skin, I also got diabetes type 2, which breaks havoc on skin. I thought I had Rosacea. fungal acne etc, but found out it’s the diabetes which has overlapping symptoms and because people with diabetes has lower immune system it’s way easier to get infected by viruses as well as yeast/fungi. So now I know why for the past 3-4 years nothing has worked for me in regards to skincare and I’ve tried them all. I subs to the majority of all these skin channels on YT, so tried European, Korean, Japanese and American skincare brands and products everyone has been raving about, but sadly it only ruined my skin, or resulted in flare ups and eruption. Pre diabetes I had only sensitive normal combination skin, and I could out on anything without any reactions unless mineral makeup, green tea, lemon/citrus or alcohol.

@@CassandraBankson Oh my god! Thanks for the reply :) I have been using Minimalist Alpha Arbutin serum, so far it’s working really well. No breakouts, even and brighter skin tone after a month or so but it takes time to work on dark spots. I am planning to try BOJ next.

I literally just used expensive vitamin C serum and started getting horrible itchy hives instantly - hence why I’m here!!!! Thank you 😢❤

I’ve been using Alpha Arbutin for a few years now and I love it!! The ordinary one to be exact! I cannot use vitamin c products. My skin gets very reactive. Red, itchy, then flaky and dry. It’s horrible. Aloha Arbutin saved my skin

Hi, Cassandra! I started with vitamin C (SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic cuz sis we don't play about skin here) and then added alpha arbutin about a year later (The Ordinary cuz sis we don't play about skin here), and I wouldn't give up either one. I have a question for you, though: I've seen you say in previous videos (we stan you in this house cuz sis we don't... ya, you get it) that the powder makeup brush sunscreens don't really do much in terms of blocking the sun, but I notice a couple for sale on your shop. Has this changed? Because that would be everything- I hate reapplying sunscreen on makeup days. Thanks for all that you do!

Can Pycnogenol or Alpha Arbutin be used alongside copper peptide?

@fabshelleyg6214 6 месяцев назад

The last three that you're holding in your hand in your awesome video (not the Ordinary dark colored one but rather the alpha arbutin, the glo recipe and gel moisturizer) which would you layer 1, 2, 3 please? Also only in am or am and pm? Great video as I have hyperpigmentation! Thank you!

I know an Aya! She and her younger sister came to our elementary school from Japan. They learned English and even graduated from high school with us. Her sister might still be in the states but Aya went back to Japan, got married and had a baby. She now works for Amazon as a translator. Lucky!! I don't even know another language other than English but that will change soon. Anyway, I love my Aya too! lol She's such a great person.

@Chilblike 7 месяцев назад

Hey Cassandra ! Hope you're doing wel. I was wondering if you could use the Alpha Arbutine serum only under your eyes ? I struggle with dark under eyes and It comes from the fact that my skin there is really thin and you can see through it (the veins and stuff). Does it help that area or am I just f*cked ? ahah I have tried so many eye serums that you recommended that are great for puffiness and stuff but never helped reduce that dark blueisj pupleish color. It would be great if you could make a video about that specific problem and what I can use or do to reduce it. Thank you !!

Hi Cassandra, would you recommend the inkey list’s q10 serum?

@anticreative1 7 месяцев назад

I have a weird reaction, mentioned it to my doctor even but they haven't heard of it. Whenever I use vitamin c serums (tried 3) my hands start smelling very weird. It is not because of the contact to the serum as I was using just the tips of my fingers, and the full inside of my hands smells awful

@radhakrishnadasu5975 7 месяцев назад

What about Resveretrol & Niacinamide they also act as antioxidants i hope 😅

@Kamarithestylist 7 месяцев назад

I've never had vitamin c burn or sting 😮 sounds like an allergic reaction to the ingredients .May not have been 100 percent vitamin c.

@Joca4Ever 7 месяцев назад

Umm, the new Glow Recipe product completely broke me out…

@johnmichaelarnaud 7 месяцев назад

Probably because it's filled with essential oils. I don't know how anyone can say it was made for sensitive skin. I've heard a lot of great things about this product, and I honestly wish I could use it. But it's just not worth the risk of sending my skin into a tailspin.

@Tattooedwifemom 7 месяцев назад

I believe this is one of the few products from glow recipe that doesn’t have added fragrance or essential oils. I just looked at the ingredient list, no essential oils or fragrance.

@Joca4Ever 7 месяцев назад

Broke and dried me out, so definitely not a product for me. Even though breaking out from products rarely happens to me… 🫠 I was looking forward to enjoying it bc of the texture but ultimately ended up returning it.

@barttrodd7918 7 месяцев назад

It does have lots of citrus oils in it (as well as flower oils). Cassandra mentioned in a previous videos that her skin does not tolerate citrus oil but that she could use the cloudberry toner from Glow Recipe with no issue. So this may be why she says it’s good for sensitive skin. Sephora recommends it for combo or ordinary skin types. As with all skincare products, anything can cause irritation, redness, breakouts, or allergies so if it doesn’t work with your skin then I would return the product and say it’s because it caused allergies.

I have quite dry and sensitive skin and I’ve been using a really gentle formula by a Korean brand called cos de baha. I would definitely recommend it to others so far!

@yousufsharifshanto7533 7 месяцев назад

Do we need to look for certain percentage of CoQ10 in a product for it to have antioxidant effects on skin like we do for L-Ascorbic acid?

@cally2895 3 месяца назад

What about the citrus oils or other in the toner that could cause irritation? There are a lot of them.

I have a swamp here in southern Finland that has cloudberries, and when I tell you they are hard to get, I mean it! You have to walk for hours to get a few litres of the orange gold. The farther north you go, the more common they get. So my spot in the south of Finland is suuuuupppeeer seceret😶‍🌫️

@CassandraBankson 7 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness, this sounds so difficult, but so rewarding! How cool to hear. And when you say in a swamp, are they growing in the water or close to it? Or do you need to go through a swamp to get to them? I would also love to know how they taste! I don’t think I’ve ever had one. This sounds absolutely magical! I wish I could go to Finland just to see them growing in the wild and experience that lol. I’m sending you so much love and thank you for sharing this amazing anecdote with me! Truly put a smile on my face.
