Hi Melissa, first of all l would like to thank you because l've been using this product fr the pass 2 weeks. I learned alot frm yr video and its really helping me alot for skin of color. Currently in the morning lm using Alpha Arbutin, Rosehip Oil and Azelic Suspension. So l would like to try Niacimide here. Can l use it before Rosehip Oil, after Alpha Arbutin??
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Hey, I am glad that it works. 😀 Yes. Alpha Arbutin = Water-Based Serum Niacinamide = Water-Based Serum Rosehip Seed Oil = Oil Azelaic Acid Suspension = Suspension “rules” 😆 or let’s say it’s recommended: The general rule of thumb for order of application is: 1. Water-based serums 2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations 3. Lotions & Creams & suspensions Important: If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing. It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration. About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck. Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing." Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!! Some products can have a foaming effect upon application depending on the other products you are using in your regimen. The foaming should not last longer than a few seconds and both should not remain sticky once absorbed into the skin. (Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJZkipqjtryVgmQ.html) "Pilling" (snakeskin, shedding) can occur due to too much product. Your skin can only absorb a certain amount of product, and any excess will be left on top of the skin so that when the next product is being applied, it rubs off. (Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osVzaqultJ6WZnU.html)

you have been a god send navigating ordinary products, can I use plant derived squalene on top of the 3 water based serums?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Technically yes. However, if you apply too many serums in a row, it may just sit on top and not sink into the skin. So, therefore, it's recommended to use only max three serums in a routine. Sometimes, 3 serums are already a lot, so it works best with 1-2 serums and a cream or suspension depending on your skin issues.

hey melissa i’ve been using the alpha arbutin and niacinimide and also the hyloronic acid from the ordinary I just don’t really know which one to apply first, because ive heard hyloronic acid should be applied to damp skin rather than dry skin but i’ve been applying alpha arbutin first then niacinimide then finally the hyloronic acid which leaves my skin feeling a bit sticky, but I add the cerave daily moisturizing lotion which makes it feel better, am I doing it right ?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын
Sadly that isn't true, but even some famous "doctors" repeat it over and over 😏 You can use Hyaluronic Acid on dry skin; it's a stabilised form that cannot draw more water into the skin nor from the environment, making it effective on damp and on dry skin. Also, the serums you have can be layered in any order since they are all water-based 😀 All of these serums are sticky, and from my experience, it works best when only using 2-3 drops and 1-2 serums in a routine as otherwise, the skin cannot fully absorb it, and it stays on top, making it feel sticky, and at the same time, it can easily pill.

Hey Melissa! Love love your videos. So informative! Also I just started a skincare routine that focuses on skin brightening, reducing dark spots, reducing production of melisma etc. I’ve been using the Cetaphil gentle cleanser for years now. I recently purchased the Ordinary Niacinamide and a sunscreen with hyaluronic acid in it. I’m also planning on getting Vitamic C and Alpha Arbutin. Could you advise me on how I could set up an AM and PM routine using these? Thank you in advance!💗
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын
If you have melasma, I recommend getting in contact with a dermatologist. Since over the counter products may not do anything for your melasma. As for brightening, yes, have a look at Niacinamide and Vitamin C (like Ascorbyl Glucoside) if you only want to use The Ordinary products. You can use Niacinamide and Ascrobyl Glucoside daily in the AM and/or PM.

I have had the best experience with Paula's Choice and La Roche Posay products. Or, depending on the pigment, you can try the new NIVEA Cellular Luminous 630. That's a new formula; it's something different but may work well. Just have a look and Google it. 🙂 Also it is very affordable. However, depending on how severe your issues are, I highly recommend visiting a professional in your area and ask for advice 🙂

Hello Melissa can I use azelaic acid after these serums at night please?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, that would be your last step :) But sometimes it can peel a little, so make sure to find the right amount. Or wait for a little in between like 5-10minutes. This usually solves this issue. It tends to happen with the Azelaic Acid after a few water-based serums.

Yes, you can use Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide daily (maybe once per day, if you are new to them). And yes, it's fine to use Lactic Acid 2-3 times per week if that's the best way for your skin! :) Some people can also use it more often during the week, but this depends on your skin tolerance :) If you have active acne, the Ordinary doesn't have acne treatments. You just may be able to reduce them with certain products. But if you are looking for an acne treatment, I recommend seeing a doctor or ask in the pharmacy or online :) Please note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. Gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.

Well, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin and the Moisturiser can be used daily in the AM and/or PM. Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin and Lactic Acid are all water-based serums so: If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). However, it’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration. So, you could do it like this: AM Routine: - Cleanse - Niacinamide - Alpha Arbutin - Moisturiser - SPF PM Routine: - Cleanse - Lactic Acid - Hyaluronic Acid - (Optional) Niacinamide or Alpha Arbutin - Moisturiser

@@angelinahanneman78 Oh, ok. Still, The Ordinary has a 2% Salicylic Anhydrous Solution which, in my opinion, is pretty gentle and isn't as drying. The reason why I mentioned it is because Niacinamide and Lactic Acid aren't so-called 'acne-treatments'. It may help to improve pimples and blemishes here and there, but if you have more stubborn acne, it's probably not doing much for it. However, it is an excellent brightening serum for post-acne marks. It depends on the Vitamin C that you are using. The Ordinary recommends not to use their Niacinamide with Ascorbic Acid or Ethylated Ascorbic Acid products in the same routine. The Ordinary mainly uses very simple formulations, which can make certain ingredients ineffective when combining them.

Hey :) Niacinamide and Vitamin C should not be used in the same routine, however, since it is your cleanser it may work because you are washing it off!

So, try it! :) Yes, the way you want to use it is correct :)

Hello Mellisa! I recently found your videos and I'm very happy that I did. You have amazing content on your channel ♥️ I've recently added these three serums in my routine. However, I've noted that you recommend using a moisturizer after the serums. I personally have combination skin and I don't really like using a moisturizer as I feel it makes my T-zone very oily. So instead I use a light oil (Bio oil) in place of a moisturizer. I want to ask if that's okay or not. I'm leaving my routine as well below, if you could review it and tell me if I should change it or not AM: cleanser, HA, Niacinamide, oil, spf PM: double cleanse, HA, Alpha arbutin, oil Thank you so much for the content you've been putting out♥️♥️

Hey Melissa!! I have a few questions 😁 Is it worth including The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid serum in the same rountine where there already is Hyaluronic Acid contained in The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin + HA serum (I plan on using this serum on my entire face)? When it comes to using 0.5% retinol in squalane, can I use The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin + HA and Niacinamide in the same rountine? If so which ones do I use before and after? And if not, which ones do I avoid mixing? :) Can I also use these after the AHA/BHA Chemical peel? Thank you 🙏

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 11 ай бұрын
Hey :) Of course, you are fine to skip it. Hyaluronic Acid is basically in every formulation, along with other hydrating ingredients. It's just that people often like to combine these serums, so I created a routine with it to demonstrate the application. Yes, you can use Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide before retinol 0.5% in squalane. Retinol is in an oil formulation, therefore it is used after the other serums since they are water-based. After the peel, I would recommend not using anything, or if you do, then just follow with the moisturizer or a hyaluronic acid serum to avoid overwhelming the skin.

You cannot use the pure forms together since the formulations aren't stable. For example, with Niacinamide Powder in its pure form and mix it with Glycolic Acid, it may interact with each other. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% has a stable formulation that stays within the ph range so that you can use them in the same routine. It's beneficial if you want to use them for skin brightening. Niacinamide can help you with hyperpigmentation, and Glycolic Acid increases hydration and cell turnover, so this combination is excellent. I am not sure why people are telling this 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe they think that people are mixing it because of the powders. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi 😊 Well, the order of application looks great!😊 For how long have you been using this routine! Your AM Routine looks correct, as well as your 2 AM routine! However, with your PM Routine, I recommend leaving out one of the water-based serums (Either Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide or Alpha Arbutin) as it is recommended to use a max of 3 serum formulations in one routine for best skin penetration. Also, Hyaluronic Acid may increase the penetration of Retinol, which can be good or bad depending on your skin as this means that it also can irritate your skin a bit faster. Still, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide or Alpha Arbutin can be used with Retinol without a problem.😊

Yes you can :) Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells.

Hi , I’m your new subscriber. I’m 20 years old and I have dark circles and dullness and pigmentation all over my face . So I decided to use Ordinary niacinamide 10 + zinc 1 and Ordinary alpha arbutin 2+ ha Is that okay? Or which serum would be best for me could you kindly recommend me 😢😢 Also my bf has dark pigment on his cheeks like sunburn . Can I use any of the ordinary serum for him ? Please let me know 😢😢❤️

Yes, this may work. However, if your dark circles are inherited or become visible due to hollowness, then there isn't much you can do with topical treatments. Additionally, factors such as stress, lack of sleep, or food intolerance can contribute to dark circles.

Can I use azelaic acid after these serums?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, that would be your last step :) But sometimes it can peel a little, so make sure to find the right amount. Or wait for a little in between like 5-10minutes. This usually solves this issue. It tends to happen with the Azelaic Acid after a few water-based serums.
