Im getting the The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml, but im 14 can i still use it?

what to use AM and what to use PM. As far as I understand The Ordinary products Retinol and lactic acid or any other acids shouldn’t be used at same time. Most of this products shouldn’t be used together. You should clarify what to use on daily bases, you just throw the list and let sisters burn their faces :( For your subscriber: Am: Clean your face, apply Niacinamide & zinc serum first. Mix 100% square line serum with moisturizer and apply. (You can use vitamin C which is ascorbic acid in days when you are not using Niacinamide) PM: apply 100% square-line on to clean skin, apply 0,2% retinol and follow with moisturizer. Do not use Lactic acid with Retinol ever.

Hi great video quick question is Azelaic acid ok to use on dark skin?

@@candicerobin3395 yes it is :)

Thanks for the advice Please I need your help I have dark spots what can be used to lighten it

I love that I can be a voice for the people! Thank you Ty 🤗

You are so welcome!

You’re my people ❤️

I think niacinamide lightens the skin which is not too great, that is if you intend to maintain your naryral dark skin

noted coming in the future...x

Thank you so much for watching x

@@AprilBasi You are welcome. I also followed you on Instagram. You have done some excellent research and I appreciate it so much. You have saved me from spending money and time on things I don’t need.🙌🏾🙌🏾🌹💜💜😁

Thank you for watching 🖤

I like both, the first one has more brightening properties as, the AA helps the ascorbic acid be more potent. The second is for brightening and hydration.

Which one did you get

I know I keep telling myself that it’s only a natural progression 🥰

But I’m also scared that Covid has made the demand for it pretty low? No?

@@AprilBasi i understand but what you do is go to school now while you have a down time then by the end of summer you are ready to go i have been an esthetician since the 90s but took a break iam planning to get back out there but waiting for covid19 to calm down before going solo i have just been saving my money ,doing research on products etc.....and looking at the fall so please look into going to school and get your liscense there is a market you could tap into just alone in black americans when i started out in the 90s i had african men with razor bumps and had a skincare line for them i did really really well so please go for it i feel you would do very well!!!! Good luck 😁

@@AprilBasi so look at it as a sign from the up above i dont even know you just came upon your channel for the first time and telling you something that you been thinking about that is a sign let this be part of your goal in 2021 start now make the phone call to a school in your area and start this wonderful journey of being a liscensed esthetician the world is your oyster !!!!! If you need any information my email kmlee6988@gmail.com good luck 😁

You're so welcome!

Yes but it’ll take a while to see significant results...like several months :) 🌿

Same, girl

@@AprilBasi alright, thank yhu!

i'm mostly talking about facial skin...i'm still researching best products for body care will let you know when I have a list of good products x

licorice root, kojic acid or chemical peel

thank you so much sis I love the SPF50 everyday lotion from Supergoop x

KEEP COOL Soothe Bamboo Sun Essence SPF50+ PA++++ Is the best give it a try😊

Ofc!❤️ thanks for watching

Yes, it is! squalane is an occulsive/emollient which helps seal hydration in the skin, among other benefits!

@@AprilBasi awesome. Thank you!!

@@eobrien1 yw!❤️❤️

No 10% is great I love it it’s very slow but it works! You can also get the 20% prescribed by a dr if you want faster results.

It really is! you mean the buffet right?

@@AprilBasi yes the buffet🤦🏼‍♂️.💖

I would use one at a time also depends on your skin issues and how tough or sensitive your skin is

Retinoids...preferably Tretinoin if your skin can handle!

@@AprilBasi Thank you sm.

if you have dark skin I would go with the 23% to prevent irritation

@@AprilBasi does this also work for brownskins

Thank you for sharing Chileshe...please refer to this video for my suggestions on that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9qCjdKWlaqXqJ8.html

yes currently researching different sunscreens for poc! But this video by Dr Alexis stephens is a good start kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pth-oZOjsrqWk3k.html

Mandelic acid :) love that for poc between 10-18% :)

I use lactic acid for that. I even use it on the heels of my feet to keep them soft. Keep in mind you have to be patient. Hyperpigmentation is not something that you get get rid of over night. Being consistent and preventing hyperpigmentation is key so you’re not working backwards to get rid of it.

yess!! do it and share your experience sis

Why?

Thank you very much Carmen x

The alpha arbutin works really good!

0.2-0.5% retinol from the ordinary should work I would use before moisturizer

thats more for brightening babe x not acne!

Oo I’ve heard of that brand...I’ll look into it and possibly add to my to-do list...thanks Michelle

yes Jasmin....I talked about mandelic acid in the video :)

@@AprilBasi ok thank you

good choice...but i would get a tret if you have access to a derm x

that video is coming soon Faith...will let you know when it's live!

Aw

honestly I would get a standard retinol before I get a granactive one..apparently granactive retinoids are supposed to mimic prescription retinoic acid (tretnoin) but theres still a lot of research being done on them so I wouldn't trust opinions on them quite yet!

@@AprilBasi thank you for your reply!

@@mcegypt20 you’re welcome! x

Currently researching that brand now. Will potentially do a review on it as soon as I’m done. Is the rose water toner you’re talking about from their line too?

@@AprilBasi okay great thank you. ROse Water Toner is by Heritage store the one without glycerin. Thanks again.

yes I don't mind it for poc...but not if you have sensitive skin though can cause irritation. see my full thoughts on it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNSSdNqcrpPNko0.html

If you are going to use AHA's, work your way up. Start with a Mandelic Acid toner, much larger molecules which will mean much less damage to your pores.

@@MsSimixx 💯💯💯💯🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾♥️♥️

Can you list the products mentioned bc I can’t spell and I can’t see the small print

retinol/ niacinamaide for texture

@@AprilBasi thank you

Hi Melyssa, Alpha Arbutin is so gentle, at 2% it should also be well tolerated by your skin...no possibility of rebound hyperpigmentation like hq

so those serve 2 completely different purposes on the skin. alpha arbutin per my video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsCCh6eaudqvcoU.html is a plant-derived form of hydroquinone which is the gold standard when it comes to skin brightening. Lactic acid per my video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNSSdNqcrpPNko0.html is an alpha hydroxy acid. It's a chemical exfoliator that helps reduce dead skin cells on the surface of the skin to help prevent acne...so I can't tell you which one is best as they work differently.

i'm not sure why she doesn't recommend but this has been proven through clinical trials on dark skin to work great!

@@AprilBasi oh yay you reply.. thank you so much yeah i’ve been using it ever since this video and loveeee it so thank you

Hey bb what particular curology product are you using? I'd like to take a look at the ingredients :)

Oh wow I'm using Curology as well, just the trial for now to see if it's worth the money

@@AprilBasi my prescription is Azelaic Acid 4%, Clindamycin 1%, and Zinc Pyrithione 0.25% all in one bottle supposed to target acne, clogged pores, skin texture and dark spots.

@@Lannie25 I used this because my forehead was full of bumps and it sucked and some acne on my right cheek area. It really helped to clear those bumps on my forehead and rest of my skin and then I started being more aware of my skin routine. I never stopped using it for a while because I felt it helped and it seemed that when I would stop, I would need to make a purchase but I don’t have money like that and paid for it myself so I had to stop. I went to Japan for a bit and I ran out of it, (they don’t deliver out of country) my skin still looked clear and healthy for the most part and then suddenly something triggered a massive breakout that has been hard to get rid of. I got back to curology when I came back to US and I’m using it now and it has kind of helped a bit but not cleared up all the way. I hope you find some result. I will say though that my forehead has never gone back to the way it used to be and I’m grateful for that! My younger sister did a trial and it seems she got the exact same like portions and subscribed thing as I did and I got a bit confused because her skin is so clear compared to mine so I wonder if they prescribe the same like dosage to everyone? I don’t know. My biggest goal now is to have my skin nice without being dependent on it and with less expensive longer lasting products if you know what I mean :). Sorry this is so lengthy, ask me any questions you might have since I have used it for a long while, I have some experience with it 👍🏾

@@Elizabeth-qd4do Yeah I think they do prescribe the same treatment because I have exactly what you're using, I'm going to use it up and if it does work, I'll try Cerave products... these dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and chins hairs are working my nerves, I get one big pimple either on my left or right cheek once a year, put a little vitamin E oil on it's gone in two days doesn't leave a spot but these chin hairs do me bad🥺🥺🥺

Those all sound good to me Bridget...were these recommendations from your Dr?

hi Khadija please check out this video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLNiqJlenqvagJc.html I recommended products for all skin types. Also my amazon store here if you would like to purchase any of the products www.amazon.com/shop/aprilbasi

Hi Gabriel...retinol and salicylic acid could cause skin irritation...unless you have tough skin...if not combining with vit c/alpha arbutin might be a better combination :)

@@AprilBasi Thanks for the answer. Is there better option than salicylic acid if i need to prevent breakout/pimples that darken my skin ?

@@gabrielnm2042 yes you can try products containing benzoyl peroxide or even willow bark extract which is a plant-derived form of salicylic acid :)

@@AprilBasi Thank you very much

@@gabrielnm2042 of course x thanks for being here 💞

Nope
