@crewbarfun3 жыл бұрын
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.

The Ordinary is a great and affordable back up to the prescription drugs, I use their retinol .5% on my neck, upper chest and the back of my hands. The lactic acid 10% once a week and the salicylic mask once a week keep my pores nice and clear!

One that can pull double duty, kinda like Shea butter? My face moisturizer (the new Vanicream one) doesn’t seem to have the other traditional occlusives, so I guess it must be the squalane?

I have some dark marks on my neck (PCOS In grown hairs which I now thread) .. but at the moment just wanna smooth out the lines between my nose and mouth.. and just have healthier skin...

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!

Quick question, I am using Curology for my acne as well. Do you think I can use the Lactic Acid along with that?

@@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🥺🥺🥺

Hey, I was wondering if it was ok to use retinol 0.2 with salycic acid masque or ascorbic acid/alpha arbutin.
@AprilBasi3 жыл бұрын
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 :)
