A lot of influencers said that the snails aren't harmed in the process of making products with snail mucin. I mean I'd like a little bit of clarification about this soo if someone knows about this stuff I want to hear. Thank you Cassandra for making such great, informative videos
Correct! The snails aren't harmed in any way! Same thing applies to bee products. Beeswax, honeycomb, and honey are all harvested from the excess in the hive boxes! It does not endanger them, and does not steal their food from them! 🐝
I agree. A lot of influencers I trust say snails aren’t harmed. But besides talking points from the companies themselves, I don’t think anyone has actually seen the process.
@@Peachgguk-tz6yb I don't imagine they can get a lot of mucin out of it compared to conventional extraction methods so I honestly doubt them, like, the price would have been in the luxury range if that were true.
Madagascar 1004 Centella has been a part of my morning + night skincare routine for more than 2 years now. It’s quite famous here in France and I do recommend it as well 😉
I'd love a well researched video on snail mucin extraction, especially if it adresses the claim that snails in distress produce mucin with harmful toxins, and how realistic is the cosrx claim that they just let the sanils roam around on a mesh with no outside stimulation.
Ever since I came across this channel I can't get enough of it because it has helped my skin tremendously and it has expanded my skincare knowledge even more than when I went to aesthetics school.
I love Skin1004!! Their Hyula-cica water fit sunscreen is lightweight enough for my oily/acne prone skin while also making me look naturally glowy😍 Their Hyula-cica sleeping pack is also great for days when I feel irritated or I'm sunburned.
RICE can be good for facial and facial skin inflammation and swelling too...REST, as in rest from actives, stripping back the routine to the basics and concentrating on barrier repair, ICE in the form of rollers, ice packs (with covers), or COMPRESSION with more gentle cooling methods, like cold compresses, also facial rollers and facial massage to help drain any fluid and finally Elevation in the form of sleeping with your head slightly elevated can help you wake up less 'puffy' and swollen which in turn can help with rosacea . I suffer from a multi-systemic disease that causes chronic inflammation, including in my skin, and these things have been extremely helpful. As a side note, I've found that improving my gut health has also helped my skin.
Skin care by Dr. V has an amazing mineral anti-inflammatory sunscreen that works amazing on skin of color, no weird cast. It’s been my replacement for the Pureto sunscreen that was recalled.
I've always wanted to try Korean skincare but there aren't many affordable AND vegan/cruelty-free Korean products at Sephora in Canada. I love that I can come to your channel, gain knowledge about ingredients, and trust in all your recommendations. It is such a relief! I've been a subscriber for years and have always had a good experience with your skincare recommendations. I don't think I've thanked you for all the work that you do so THANK YOU CASSANDRA. So grateful for you. ❤️
I got a sample of Pure’Ams Ph balance calming toner in an ipsy bag and I am hooked. It calms my skin like nothing I’ve every tried before and have a lot of redness but this takes it away! Im interested in trying more from this brand (while purchasing this amazing toner!)
Sunscreen, a good moisturizer and a cleanser top start off for 6-8 weeks. After that may include peptides, vitamin c, niacinamide, retinoids and aha's. Wait 4-6 weeks between adding new products. If your may concern is preventing wrinkles, number one item is sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen.
My skin is very sensitive. The thing is , it is sensitive to outside elements. I can get very red Welts all over & it can be painful. I wear sunscreen & foundation, every day. Because If I don't, after an hour later I will be ask what happened my skin. With my face red & puffy. It's not every day it's so bad but enough. It happens to my neck as well . Now I have got every test that my insurance allows, but for me to continue to test I have to pay out of pocket. So the best I can do is try to use product that will sooth the put brakes. I FEEL I am the only one who deal with this. I can get depressed over this. Sometimes not wanting to go out.
Thank you for talking about VGreen mucin product. I've been curious but not curious enough to try it, snail and all. Appreciate all that you and your team do!
I bought some 🐌 mucin serum online and liked it. It did have kind of a slimy feel but not so much that it bothered me. I hope the snails weren't harmed to make it.
The last thing you commented was the same thing I worried about. Rest assure, they are not. There are a few methods to harvest the mucin but the simplest explanation is that they crawl over a plate/mesh surface where they leave the secretion. In the 80-ties workers of a snail farm (for snail consumption) noticed how soft their hands were. The ball got rolling from there. Hope this was helpful😊🐌
Did anybody else do something a bit morally incorrect as a child? I would go into a stranger’s backyard/garden because they didn’t have a fence and me and my friends would go looking at snails and roly-polys under rocks lol
Cassandra... this isn't really related to the video, but since you work along so many healthcare professionals... I wonder if you could suggest a skincare regimen for healthcare workers that work varying shiftwork. Example 12 hour shifts, and working between days and nights...?
Hi cassandra. Could you maybe make a video about the brand Presensa? I am curious about what you think of their products as I got them recommended from my beautician. I’m not sure yet if want to buy their products, but it seems like a good and interesting brand!
Cassandra! Love your videos, what’s this about making skin routines for your butterflies?? 🤩 DMs open?!?! I would absolutely love if you could do this for me, I need help girl. 😢
I too would like the 411 on the truth about how snail mucin is taken from the animal to add to beauty products. There are people saying that it would be "impossible " to get the mucin if the snails were mistreated but I don't think that is the case 🤔. Please do a full video on this subject so we beautiful butterflies can know once and for all.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on skin care by Dr. V products. I personaly love these products, and they’ve helped my acne prone skin so much especially through Covid. Can you please do a review on this product, i’m curious on what your thoughts are on the ingredients.
I have been loving your videos for months now, you have transformed my skin and I will be eternally grateful!! I would love to see you do a review of Rovectin products, I have tried a few of them and I really like them, but I would love to hear your take and expertise on them :)

There is one or more people impersonating Cassandra and trying to fool people into thinking that they won something in a giveaway or something similar. Calling people"fans".

@@Hinarushi i thought this was the case, but didn't want to be rude... I tried reporting it, but there were no options for spam ... Which option should i choose?
@@dominiquepinto9133 For me it appears the first option, "Unwanted commercial content or spam". This is the one :) And no, you are not rude. If a comment received enough reports, then most likely something is wrong with it and YT will investigate. If something looks fishy/not trustworthy, it may be worth to report it.
Thank you for all your advice and good video content. I use a lot of products from the brand ( La Roche Posay ) and I would like to hear your opinion on them or if there is another better brand. Thankkkss !
A challenge for you Cassandra: Find us a product with Ceramides, Omega Fatty acids, Squalene oil, Cholesterol, Lipids, Vit C, Hyaluronic acid, Amino acid, Antioxidants, if not all but most of the ingredients. 🥰🥰
now I know what to do if my skin gets dull and a bit rough. I use my bha exfoliant serum from the inkey list, and then follow it with my fav moisturizer of the moment. in a day or two, that dullness goes away (especially when followed with hylauronic acid the next day).
Hey gurl. I am from India. I see all your videos. Here people use a medicine called MINTOP to regrow hair. Can you review it? I saw a video where you were using a helmet for hair growth. So I thought of asking you this.
could you please review a skincare brand called Vitamasque? I am trying to find what works best for my skin, and I have been using their green tea face wash, rose gommage, and a lot of their face masks, BUT I looked at the ingredients on the back and some seem a bit sus 😩 I really want to know if I should stop using them. everything they make makes my skin glow like nothing I've ever used!
Hey Cass (&/or other butterflies!) I've got a pimple that keeps coming back right next to my lips, right at the corner. It's super annoying and a little bit painful! I've tried keeping up with my skincare, including an acne cleanser, but I wanna know if any of you might have some better advice. ThankuIluBaiii💙
Have you checked to make sure it's not a cold sore? A majority of the world has some form of it, even if they don't show symptoms, so it's a pretty likely answer. That, or it's just not healing right and keeps coming back, maybe if it's been popped repeatedly? I'd try keeping hydrocolloid patches on them!
If it's acne try a spot treatment maybe and if it's a fever blister blistex lip medex lip balm for cracked lips may help it's my my favorite lip balm if my lips are really dry because it has pain reliever in it and it says on the tube it's for cold sores as well.
That snail mucin from Europe is not really “cruelty free” compared the ones in Korea. I think I’ve seen a Business Insider video about that anfld i was shocked 😅
Could someone knowledgeable comment on this: “it is highly likely that 1,2-hexanediol is toxic to humans. Moreover, if 1,2-hexanediol enters the human body either via oral intake or through an open wound, it could have critical effects. Furthermore, upon release into the environment, 1,2-hexanediol could cause considerable damage to plants and other organisms”. It’s in the recommended toner + in so many products. Been trying to find some good products but so many have ingredients that are banned in Europe or like this hexanediol where new studies seem to indicate toxicity. There are alternative ingredients that seem to be better but so many recommended products (not here in particular just in general) have at least one ingredient that is carcinogenic or toxic. Not a fan of clean beauty (not science backed + misleading claims) just want something known to work but with the best non touted ingredients also(the ones they don’t put at the front of the package). The toner looks great except for hexenadiol.
My chronically ill and hEDS ass crying every time someone mentions collagen knowing mine is defective and it doesn't matter what I do it wont improve🥲Chronic inflammation people where you at?
