I tried professional skincare... is it worth it? 

I also made a detailed video about the exact ingredients and products I used! You can check it out here :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LYeQGSBIxOI.html

Okay but can we talk about how Penny got sponsored by the literal INTERNET

GOOGLE!? Get that schmoney, Penny!! 🎉👏🏾

Penny getting sponsored by Google now!? Ok ok we see you 😌✨

I never had a facial because of $$$ but I decided to just go for it and I’m so freaking glad I did! She told me so much about my skin I didn’t know and recommended products. Now my skin has calmed the f down. It’s a good investment for sure 🙏🏼

Dating with acne is the worstttt you can just feel them staring at your pimples. I only have scars left now but I can still remember how embarrassed I felt

I hope all of us start Livin like Larry

been rocking with you since the curly penny days! you are 100% the reason why I started to self love, appreciate and take care of my curly hair :) much thanks and love

Lmao I could not take penny serious with those goggles on 😂😂😭

Not my girl getting sponsored by the internet itself! 😩 get it, queen! 👑👏💚

As an esthetician I'm soooo glad you went out to get professional help for your skin. I specialize in acne because of my own acne problems I've had delt with. I find it helpful to relate to my clients. My favorite part of my job is educating my clients and helping them love the skin they're in. I'm happy for your progress keep at it girl! 😊♡

I'm currently struggling with my skin. You being so open with your journey has been really helpful to me personally. Thank you for being you Penny❤️

Penny: “So what is this called again?” Acne doctor: “High frequency” Penny: “HiGh fReqUeNcY 😌” *loud buzzing sound gets louder* Penny: 😀

Penny: so what is this called. Lady: high frequency! Penny:high frequency?🙃

IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL PENNY LOOKS?!😭

im sooo happy for you and your mental health! i have pcos and i had acne, now with patience and consistence after 2 years im soooo much better! i feel you

The saddest part about all of this is during these tough time when you have hell of an acne and at the same time broke and people around you don't understand the pain and emotion one's going thru.. man that hurts so bad :") But am so happy to see the progress Penny and also to see you overcome this acne journey

Funny how my constellation acne of 2 years cured itself once the pandemic hit and we all started to work from home. I could finally sit in a stress-free environment at home, not in a freezing AC office, and could take frequent trips outside in the sun :) (sleeping in a bit more also helped!)

Girl I feel you, during highschool I was so clueless about skincare until I got cystic hormonal acne and I had no idea how to get rid of it, eventually when I did I literally got the worst physical acne scarring and pigment. My parents weren’t aware of skincare either so I felt alone, plus I didn’t have any money so I have to find strategic ways of getting my own treatment (thanks to dr dray a dermatologist on RU-vid) even with some scarring left, I felt kinda traumatized because everytime I get a singular pimple I freak out and make sure I stay on top of my skin. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, not a lot of youtubers do from what I’ve seen

Girl your hair is looking mad fire ❤️❤️❤️

As an esthetician this makes me happy 😊

I’ve struggled with acne at 23-24 after my skin being fine for the longest time and it was and can be so emotionally hard but you really have inspired me to embrace myself no matter what and be confident even without clear skin ♥️ your awesome !

“If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is.” Do you agree? Peace and love from a growing RU-vidr

I really love the content that you make, you're so informative and entertaining at the same time, Love it! This is so awesome, I'm so happy for you!

Really excited for how you are growing and thriving! Love to see it. 💜

we love to see you glowing!! 🥺💗 yes, m'aam!! 👏

I love how this year ur 1# thing to spread on ur channel is support, positivity, hope and inspiration! All of which has been received by me on the other end❤️

You have no idea how much this video has helped me. Acne is so mentally scaring. I have a similar story where my skin was super clear and BOOM terrible acne. It’s like I was insecure about my weight so I lost all this weight (20+lbs) and then I got acne ugh! Dealing with it now but I have been focusing on gut health and it seems to be clearing up. It’s like you never really know what the morning will look like and that give me more anxiety. I am going to sign up for better health. Thank you girl…

I suffered from cystic acne for 6 years! I went to so many derms and they never could really help. So i finally went to an aesthetician and she helped me so much that i finally love my skin again, she really changed my life. So happy for u penny!! Been watching for a long time :)

Im actually graduating next month to be a medical esthetician! Absolutely love helping others with their skin

Girl i feel u. My skin was clear my entire life and last year my skin broke out so bad that i didnt even wanna take pics or look at myself in the mirror but now my skin has been improving a lot. Progress to clear healthy skin and healthy mind! 🥺❤️

Happy for you Penny! I suffered with cystic acne for over 5 years, last year I finally went on accutane and it completely saved my skin!! Now I'm using tretinoin for maintenance

“That some bull****” I died when you said that. I had to replay 🤣

✨✨✨✨✨✨ ✨ Cystic Acne ✨ ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Beautiful as ever Penny Thanks for sharing your journey with us. You are loved.

I'm so glad you are doing better! When I was in middle school I developed cystic acne that only went away when I started birth control that I started at 18. I was always so embarrassed by my skin and I think it is so important that you have been so open about your experiences.

omfg your skin looked so glowy and so healthy in that last picture!!!!!!! so happy for uu

I love how she replies to almost every comment. Queen pennay🤩

Hello ...you are the first one from where i started my curly hair journey...have been looking up to you...really feels happy to see you back super confident...waiting to hear a lot from you...

Ayeee a google sponsorship - we love to see it!!! What sunscreens do you use? I'm having trouble finding a no white cast one that is acne-prone friendly!

Anytime I see your notification I know I'm going to laugh till the end because of those random sarcastic things you say in your videos. Too bad you post once in 2 weeks.. I love love loveee your content..

Shout out to all the people that have been dealing with lifelong acne 😔✊

Even thru all the things you went, you still look good penny. Love you girl.

Excited to hear more about your journey and the changes you’ve had to make go hair routine. I’ll be here when you doing one of those Vogue night time routines. I’m here for the FACTS.

I’ve struggled with acne for over 10 years so I totally get it. So happy you found treatment that helped you!! ❤️❤️

Your skin is looking so good and glowy! I’m so happy you found something that works for you ❤️

Love to see this! I'm still nervous to go see estheticians about my skin and this video shows that it is not so scary!

Get micro needling, my acne was ten times worse and I had horrible scarring Ice pic scars and the micro needling got rid of it 🥰

This was such an amazing video!! :) My son (he's 10) and I just watched it in bed while he was settling down for sleep. :) We both love you!!

I have been fighting adult cystic acne for the last three years. It’s not as bad as it was before but it still is an everyday struggle ☹️

no one: Penny: it’s a good type of pain! Me: masochist!!!?? 😂

Aww I’m so happy I woke up to a new vid today 😭👏🏻👏🏻

Woohoo! You are a great client! Thank you for documenting your journey and sharing it with others 🙏🏻❤️😇

😂😂😂 repeating the random girl from Twitter saying, “drink some lemon water for a week and all my problems would go away.” If only it were that easy.

Thanks for the video Penny! I started watching you to learn about caring for my hair and I'm watching you for hair, skin, and the amazing person you are! God bless you💕

LOOK AT YOU GETTING A GOOGLE SPONSORSHIPPPP YESSSSS!!!! and i love that you naturally place the sponsorships and youre very casual and real about it bc it is true google maps is amazing!! i also SUPER love how you always put in the videos how you were emotionally impacted by your journey and you dont just show before and after pictures. and love how you always say what you learned! it is incredibly difficult to deal with these feelings when we feel less than bc of our looks or an episode in our lives when we feel uglier than how we used to look. thanks for sharing!

Thank you for making this video!! I grow up with horrible acne from a young preteen to mid 20s. I tired all the skincare programs in my youth, but none worked! With all the media saying if you don't have clear skin you are ugly and you should cover it up. It was GREAT for my young mind!! I finally went to a licensed esthetician in my mid 20s and we worked on my skin for 6 months with a whole lot of money with it. My skin got a bit better, but not clear or not painful. She recommended for me to get on Accutane. I resistant, but finally gave it! The process on Accutane was not pretty, but now I'm post- Accutane with clear skin I would have never dreamed of! Thank you for making a video the accepts differences in people's skin and sometimes getting rid of acne not always for a prettier look, it is for a prettier you! Thank you always love your context!! Trying to become a RN like you , 6 months before I can apply for programs! Thanks for being an inspiration!!!!

I love that lipstick on you, Selena vibes 😍🙉

love how you tell your stories 🙏🏼👌🏻

I used to work at the ATC! I also had them treat my skin (which looked a lot like yours, so I understand the emotional effects!) but the process does work and I've been clear for several years now. Hang in there! Your skin is looking great girl!

This gotta be a sign bc I’d been wanting to get into facials and an esthetician for a while now. I start working again soon so I’ll be happy to save up for my first appointment 😍

Thank you for this video. I'm usually self conscious about the way I look and I worry about acne on my arms. When you said that we don't have to be beautiful all the time, I definitely needed that. Love your videos, vibe, and attitude.

I'm so happy for you. Love you 💋

Your curls became really defined. What's the secret ? We need a haircare routine

YESSS PENNYYY!!!i knew that extraction felt goodddd

We need a sister video soon! The combo of you and Salem is top tier

I had some acne when I started wearing my mask daily for work , I switched to a silk mask and it helped and washed my face more often too then I would . I also noticed I couldn't wear any lotion like products anymore bc of the mask it was making me break out. Instead I used oil based moisturizer.

I love your vibe, no matter what topic you are talking about I always watch your videos and it gives me a good feeling.

Yes Bestie we love to self care 💕✨. Not doing it for anyone else but yourself 😇. I remember my acne, I didn't care about appearance for say, if was just the PAIN. Love you Penny.

GIRL UR POPPIN THIS NEW CAM QUALITY HITTINNN

Roaccutane was the only thing that sorted my acne. Which started when I was 12, I LEGIT had over oily-ness biologically. Had to try EVERYTHING else before I was allowed roaccutane at 19. xx

Wow your skin looks incredible!!!

Thank you for sharing your journey Penny, it helps me more than you know. You say exactly what I've been feeling.💗

Skin looks BEAUTIFUL! Hair and brows too. Thank you for sharing your journey to skin health. 💕

I love your honesty .you are such a special person.i learned a lot good things from you!love you❤️❤️

I feel like everyone has leftovers from 2020, for me it’s the crippling sarcasm and inability to be serious or sad without cracking a joke. 😍

I'm glad you found what worked for you mama! You are beautiful inside and out!

I live in ethiopia..... i have been watching you for long time..... pls pls upload weekly or twice a week.

I went to a clinic near me (a GP that runs a skin clinic) and they messed up my skin so bad and left me with my deepest scars :( like permanent tethered scars.. It had good ratings too, but my skin is so sensitive. Now I'm going on Accutane and I'm terrified but honestly I'm so depressed I don't even care anymore.

Thank you for making this! My skin was the same way up until we started wearing face masks. I found that certain masks like n95's made me breakout much worse. While, regular face masks contributed to closed comedones and irritation.

Girl I’m so happy for you and your growth. You’re amazing honey. God bless youuuu ♥️

that lipstick color looks really really awesome on you dude

I never got cheek acne till a couple months ago (I was also really stressed during the time) but I started washing my pillow case every week and my acne went away. Used a mild facial cleanser or one with no smells or chemicals and it helped a lot.

I see Penny got better at makeup 🔥💄

Penny! Thank you for this! I have always had problems with my pores and pimples and never really reached out for professional help. But you encouraged me. 😌 I hope my skin will improve just like yours.❤️

So glad for your success!! You're sooooooo worth it!!! Love you💞💖❤

You always have such a great message!! You are gorgeous inside and out!

i love your videos Penny ❤️ i hope you have a great day ❤️

you look so glowy im so happy for you🥺🥺

While products are important in caring for our skin, what we eat has a huge impact. Also hormones. But I think diet and water are the most important practices to have healthy skin. Drink enough water and if you have chronic acne try cutting out dairy for a couple weeks to see if your skin improves.

I have been struggling with acne for months and I literally bought toner and it went away I was so happy now I feel better acne hurts and everyone skin is different my skin type is very very oily

i’ve never seen your content but this just got recommended to me, your so cool! this video was so fun, subscribed 😁

As a student esthetician, I also recommend to check hair product ingredients if you are one to leave your hair in your face.

Ooohhh!!!! You're makeup looks so good 😍❤. You look really good.

Girl, please drop the acne friendly curly hair routine!! Lots of love from Dominican Republic ♥️♥️

I relate to this so much. Always had good skin, but developed SD on my face this year. It came out of nowhere, and lead to a lot of self-consciousness.

Penny you look glowing! ✨

Circadia’s Cocoa Enzyme is bomb ✨

Love your outfit Penny! You look gorgeous as always! But the most beautiful thing you're wearing is that smile! :)💜

Amazing! So happy for you. Can you make a video of curly girl products that don’t contribute to acne? I swear I can’t find a gel that won’t cause me to get pimples on my back and neck.

You look so pretty in this video. I adore that makeup look
