You are very welcome! 😀

🥰 🤠

I haven't looked at these yet, but I took note, so I may buy them in the future if I still can afford them with the current shipping rates... 🤨🤪

out of the three masks, which one do you think is the thickest and most moisturizing? i have the two sleeping masks from cosrx but have been looking for one that is thicker, creamier, and more moisturizing.

@@fjp9 the Purito cica mask is pretty thick. It also contains squalane, so it gives a lot of extra moisture. And that one is a creamy thickness. However, the Pyungkang yul sleeping mask is a gel like texture that just kind of sits on the skin on top of your night time routine to seal in all the ingredients of your night products. I personally love them both. And I'm a dry in the winter, sweaty in the summer type of gal. I like the cosrx rice mask in the summer, and the other 2 in the winter. If that makes any sense at all. Lol. Take care. Be safe. ❤

I love this sleeping mask. I'm on my 4th tube of it. The Purito cica sleep pack is also great. ❤

Hello Rosemary, yes, the "rice products" are excellent in hydrating and smoothing the skin; my husband uses them mainly for his body 😂 Happy Easter to you, too 🥰

Hey! :) I recommend using this mask on its own without an additional moisturizer as COSRX Rice Mask is kind of like a moisturizer they just don't call it like that; like most overnight masks😅

Thankyou so much Melissa for the reply youre so generous 🥰, okay will do 🙂👌

Hey! Glad to hear that you enjoy my content and that you have been following me already for some time!🥰 Why are you alternating between Tretinoin and Geek & Gorgeous Retinal? Use the Rice Mask instead of your moisturizer. To me, hydrating overnight masks are like moisturizers, it's just a different marketing name to sell more products😉

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ty Mel, wish u lots of happiness and success 🙌. I did give few months to tretinoin 0.25 but didn't see any change towards the glass skin . Even on smile lines. So I switched to A game 10 but even with this it's pretty much same. So now I jst grab either of then during my night time routine. Sometimes I even tried topping up A game 10 with very small amount of tretinoin on fine line areas. The product itself feels great but i haven't seen any drastic changes or even noticeable with either. N i have been doing it from 7-8 months and at worst its like 3days a week minimum. 🤷‍♀️ The morning skincare however has shown visible results.

@@Sangs3824 Achieving glass skin is primarily determined by genetics. If you already have naturally beautiful skin, it becomes easier to achieve the glass skin effect through proper hydration and the use of exfoliating acids. In addition, both retinal and tretinoin have similar effects on the skin, although tretinoin is considered the more potent form. To gain a better understanding of the similarities and differences between these ingredients, you can visit the following links: Tretinoin: incidecoder.com/ingredients/tretinoin Retinal: incidecoder.com/ingredients/retinal Retinol: incidecoder.com/ingredients/retinol By the way, could you kindly remind me of your morning skincare routine?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial my morning skincare is marine HA on damp skin -> vitamin c ferulic on dry skin -> alpha arbutin -> pycagenol then the moisturizer (the ordinary NMF) n sunscreen(mineral) if heading out. During this skin looks radiant and hydrated. When I wasn't following the morning skincare and had only night time routine i didn't see much changes in skin by the retinal,tretinoin . I did have some normal purge during tretinoin and have pretty much clear skin even before starting the routine bt not many changes on smile lines and collagen boosting. Also to add I do exfoliate once a week sometimes twice as well Aha bha peel the ordinary for like 5-10mins and use face masks on lazy days if I don't want to do any skincare.

@@Sangs3824 While it's important to view these skincare products with a dose of realism, their usage and effectiveness can vary from person to person. If you have deep smile lines (which, in my opinion, are a charming attribute indicative of a cheerful personality), topical treatments might not fully address them. For comprehensive solutions, you might need to consult with a cosmetic surgeon. Nevertheless, it's heartening to hear that your overall skin condition has improved. This shows that you're on the right path and making positive strides towards achieving your skincare goals.

Yes, but I recommend avoiding applying it on top of your eyelids.

Do you feel the need of using a moisturizer? If yes, use it on top.

Yes you can :)

Thank you ❤❤❤

No, have a look at a charcoal and/or clay mask! :)

See here for the ingredients: incidecoder.com/products/cosrx-ultimate-nourishing-rice-overnight-spa-mask-2

You can use both of them, but I wouldn't recommend using them together as it can be too much for your skin. It's best to use either one of them instead :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialokay thanks for replying! Your videos have helped me with my skincare routine when i buy new things

Yes :)

Thank you so much , YOU'RE the best in the world ! 😘❤❤❤

You can technically use both :) But see what works best for you. Or what you like most.

@J.Nord what else did you use? 🤔

@J.Nord so you just applied the masque without cleansing your face?

Hmm, what cleanser are you currently using? And what happens if you don't use any products in the evening-does your skin still feel the same in the morning? So, let's say you take a shower in the evening and use just water; how is your skin the next day? Still oily?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes just a tad bit, the first cleanser i used 2 month back was nivea men deep, and changed it into the cetaphil gentle cleanser but it was so expensive i couldn't afford it or atleast maintain it in my routine, now i'm using the cosrx good morning low ph cleanser, i also use their snail mucin right after, and then use a celeteque moisturizer, the cosrx cleanser makes my face a bit tight, and squeaky clean. Not just that but my face looks alot tired than before even though i take collagen,vitamin c and magnesium, i take alot of water too, but i get stressed alot for some reasons which causes my forehead to sweat alot making it have a lot of pores, tight and dry.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes on the oily morning part, even if i skip my routine, still oily, even if the air conditioner is on and the room being cold it still seems oily no matter what i do, but when i used the bha it seems to purge me out, making it more oily, which broke me out. I was thinking if i should maybe heal my face with this overnight mask, since when i tried to just sleep with just washing my face with water, while still using the snail mucin and celeteque it seems to not break me out. I was thinking of changing celeteque to this mask, so that it'll heal faster. I have oily skin which is why i can't probably put these three on my face at night at the same time.

@@dreadbeast0952 Hmm, the Nivea cleanser can be a bit drying, similar to the CosRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser. However, the snail mucin and the Celeteque moisturizer are typically not too harsh. So, I suspect the issue might not be the skincare products. It could be stress causing you to sweat more overnight, which in turn makes your skin appear oily in the morning. This stress can also affect your sleep, resulting in waking up feeling that way. Another cleanser or skincare product might not necessarily solve this issue. It could be more about finding balance in your lifestyle, and I understand that's easier said than done. I've also suffered from panic attacks and excessive sweating in the past, and sometimes I still do. If you want to rule out skincare as the cause, you could try a more hydrating cleanser like the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser in the evening without following up with other products. This way, you could see if it's truly the stress or the skincare products contributing to the oiliness.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you for this, you know what, i might just start going out more, thank you for this you kinda motivated me to buy a bike, it might help me, get relaxed, been so long since i used one.

Hello 😀 I am pretty sure that you do not need all of them.😉 This looks like you only bought some "trendy" products and haven't really looked into it. I would call it a "classic influencer victim". Nonetheless, I can help you set it up. So what are you trying to target?(Skin concerns) And what is your skin type? So that we can already get some of these products out while keeping the routine simple and still effective.

Yes you can! :)

How did you use it? 🤔

Hello :) How often do you use these products, and how is the routine setup? What cleanser do you use, and what is your skin type?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you for replying. I use La roche posay effaclar h for face wash, vichy thermal as toner, vichy normaderm as moisturizer. I have oily and sensitive skin. I use niacinimade in my morning routine and azelaic acid in my evening routine. I also use the bha of the cosrx brand 3 times a week. I also use la rosche posey 50+ as sunscreen. Why am I not getting results for my blemishes? ( I've been using it since December but still no results.

@@alselsenaryo7000 Do you still get acne? As for your spots, do you have red or brown spots?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes I have 1,2 acne and I have red and brown spots.

@@alselsenaryo7000 Have a look at a Vitamin C serum/cream containing Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate like Timeless Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C serum and/or a Retinol/Retinoid serum/cream.

No, the rice mask is like your moisturizer :)

@Melissa Van Dijk ok, so does it apply to other sleeping masks that have a gel like consistency?

@@shehzaadtakun241 Yes :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok thank you 😊

Hey! :) Have a look at the video below to get an idea of what it can look like :) The Ordinary Skincare Routine for Acne Scars: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fOCogtmIzbydhnU.html

Yes :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much for your time and reply :)

After applying green tangerine vita c serum can I immediately apply corsx rice face mask or should I leave it to get absorbed by my face?

@@shreyavarshini5878 Technically, you can apply it immediately. However, I always like to wait at least 30 seconds, often 1-2 minutes.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Okay thank you for the guidance 🙏

You should always use at least spf 50 with several +++ after. Those are the most protective.

I think it's primarily a marketing term, and most newer "regular" sunscreens have hydrating benefits; the old formulations are particularly drying, so it depends on the sunscreen you have. But generally, if you use brands such as Paula's Choice, they have everything you need in their moisturizer with SPF. And if you use Acids and/or Retinols, my advice is also to use SPF 50 to get the most protection. But it also depends on several factors such as how much sun exposure you really have, how fussy you are etc.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i was using cerave Am moisturizer spf 30 its already finished, i am ordering moisturizer so kindly suggest me a very good moisturizer for oily acne prone skin(active acne and spots/ blemishes) weather is summery here so it feels so greasy to apply moisturizer and then serum and then sunscreen, that's why i want a moisturizer with sunscreen, kindly give me a good advice that what should i order 😐

@@HUZAIFA_GAMERZ295 Why don't you just use a regular sunscreen like COSRX Aloe Soothing Suncream or Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Sunscreen Gel? Both are very lightweight.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok thank you so much so nice of you ☺️

Well, it has oil, but it is not greasy only if you apply a lot, which is not needed. I think that some people just tend to use too much of these skincare products, which the skin cannot absorb, and then it only sits on the surface and leads to skin issues or layering problems or most of it will be on your pillow anyway 😉

Melissa Van Dijk thank you👌

Melissa Van Dijk can u use this on top of retinal/Niacinamide etc.? Thanks🙂

@@sialee5926 yes, you can :) But generally, if you already have oily skin, just don't use anything on top the day you use your retinal. (or on the areas you become very oily) That works so much better for me 😉 Not only with the mask but overall when using a retinoid/retinol.

Melissa Van Dijk thank you so much for replying. I appreciate your feedback👍

I did not try that one, sorry.

@J.Nord thanks a lot for lettin me know!!

@J.Nord the propolis honey mask?! I highly doubt that this is the case.

​@J.Nord I don't look up reviews since almost all of them are fake or written by people affiliated with a Network or even competitors to talk about the product badly. But what else did you use?

But what's the point of it if it remains on the skin surface and does nothing 🤷🏼

yes, but I would give the tretinoin at least a few minutes before applying it.

yes, you can.

yes

you can yes :)

It's a moisturizer, so what do you expect? 😉
