In this video, I am going to show you how to use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque.
Targets - Lackluster Tone, Textural Irregularities
Format - Paste-like
Regimen Step - Use as a masque and rinse off after 10minutes
Conflicts - Other strong acids, EUK 134 0.1% or Peptides
Time of Use - 1-2 times a week, Ideally PM
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. 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.
And a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!

i always thought that “good skin care” was difficult and required a lot of research which i may be a bit too lazy to do. however, this is THE BEST and easiest to understand video i have seen on skin care EVER. you’re extremely informative and clear in how you deliver the information in such a pleasant and structured way. i’m obsessed ❤️ thank you so much ! can’t wait to watch more of your videos !

I am 78 and my granddaughters say my skin is looking "younger". Actually, I think what they mean is healthier. I have watched a couple other youtuber's videos about skin care and The Ordinary products...your videos are the most informative and detailed, not going back there, I'm going to stick with you. ❤️Haven't ever tried a masque, but it is on my "To Do List." Thanks again.

Hey Janet! Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate your feedback and that you find my videos helpful!🥰 What products do you currently use? It's nice to hear that your granddaughters can see a difference in your skin, and you must feel good about it yourself. 😊 If you should have dehydrated or dry skin - I do not recommend this mask. Look for a hydrating mask or like The Ordinary Peeling Solution instead. If you have oily skin, you'll love that mask! 😊

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you for your reply; that may not be the masque for me then as I do not really have an oily complexion. Now that I have been watching you, I have recently purchased from the Ordinary: Squalane cleanser, Natural moisturizing factors + HA, Ascorbyl, tetratsopalmitate solution 20% in Vitamin F, and Granactive Retinoid @% emulsion (recommended by The Ordinary). It is not here yet. Thank you too for your demonstrations on the patch test which I will be doing. What started me on my quest for healthy skin was a Christmas present from my granddaughter of Good Genes Sunday Riley lactic acid, I have been using Ordinary glycolic acid 7% toning solution also. And I am sorry to say I did not really understand that it was an exfoliant until watching your videos. I do like the results of those two products and they have started my skin to improve in texture and wrinkles. Oh, I also ordered the caffeine solution. I'm hoping that it is a miracle solution as I have some serious bags under my eyes. I love your informative videos even those with products I may not use.I am on a steep learning curve, and thanks to you I feel better about the Ordinary products. You give such clear instructions. I love your videos...keep 'em coming! Thank you.

@@janetvahlensieck623 It's interesting to hear that you have seen significant improvements while using your Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid! For how long have you been using them? And how often do you use them? I find it interesting that I'm younger and currently having more issue with breakouts than with textured skin and fine lines or wrinkles... So when I'm using an exfoliating acid, it's excellent (I love using Mandelic Acid). Still, it's not showing "amazing" improvements since I do not really have those concerns yet, which it can help you with (- textured skin, fine lines and wrinkles). The products you have ordered sound great! It's a simple anti-aging routine, that does not dry out your skin but can help you to even out/brighten your skin tone, and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles! :)

I forgot to mention I have also been using Acure Brightening Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid oil, 1-2 times/day. I usually just use one product/acid at a time. Until very recently I did not take good care of my skin never used sun screen.

Elf Holy hydration face cream (Fragance free) I was also wondering if I should follow the same routine at night.

Hey! :) You can use all your current products once or twice per day, daily. How often you can use your serums depends on how your skin responds to using it once per day and twice per day. Try out the different frequencies to see what works best for you. Use the Salicylic Acid mask once per week in the PM. Use it after cleansing. Once you have rinsed it off, you can continue with the rest of your routine.

Hello! I’m watching your videos and they’re so good. You explain it so well and I’m learning so much about the use and the properties of these products. I have a question about my skincare routine. Is it okay if I use the Lactic acid 10% two days and the azelaic acid other 2 days (not in the same routine) and maybe do the salicylic masque once in a week? All of these but different days. Do you think that it’s lot of different acids for my skin? Should I maybe try with one acid and the masque and then maybe try the other one and the masque? Will it be better the lactic or the azelaic acid with the salicylic masque? Thank you and keep on posting these videos I really love them! ❤️

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Hey :) Thank you so much!🥰 Well, Azelaic Acid is a bit special...you can't really compare it immediately to other exfoliating acids (like Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid or Salicylic Acid). You can use Azelaic Acid daily in the morning and/or evening, but you don't have to use it daily! Whereas when using the other exfoliating acids (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid or Salicylic Acid), it really depends on your skin needs and tolerates. Some people can use their exfoliating Acid daily, whereas others prefer to use it only a few times per week. If you are new to those products, I recommend keeping Azelaic Acid, Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid in separate routines. You can use Azelaic Acid, for example, in the AM and use Lactic Acid in the PM on that same day or use it only when not using Azelaic Acid. However, please do not use Lactic Acid that day or Azelaic Acid and Lactic Acid after the mask when using the Salicylic Acid mask. To avoid irritation.

You can only use the peeling Solution once a week.

I still think that a (0,2% or 0,5%) Retinol (2%) Granactive Retinoid, (0,05 Tretinoin or 0,1% Adapalene) Retinoid or 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide may be best for your needs.

Hi Melissa, I loved your video. It was extremely helpful. I recently started getting into skin care and I got a new cleanser, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Facial Cleanser with Salicylic Acid. Would I be able to use this cleanser and then the Ordinary Salicylic Acid % Masque or would it be too irritating for my skin? I'm a bit hesitant to test it out in fear of chemical burn. If you can answer my question and provide any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

I am not able to get that one. And I do not know the pH of it 😞 Therefore I cannot give you accurate advice. But based on my experience, it's best to use a gentle cleanser before the masque and use the SA cleanser when not using it. I can use a 2% SA cleanser daily without any significant issues. If it does get dry/irritating, I just pause for a few days before using it again to balance it.

But if it has a low pH, it can quickly burn the skin when combined with the masque.

Hi Melissa! I so love your videos. You are so reliable and very distinct to each every product you are reviewing. Im currently using Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid on my routine. Then Vitamin E moisturizer cream. I am also using AHA BHA twice a week on my PM routine. I would like to add salicylic acid masque and alpha abutin. On my routine. Can you help me on my routine?? Along with the products mentioned above. I have a very acne prone skin and oily skin. Now i have lots of scars from my acnes. Niacinamide and azelaic already healed my acnes. But im still having some pimples and acnes forming. But not like before which like a breakout!! Please. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Marvin, 😀 Thank you very much. 😀 You can add Alpha Arbutin after Niacinamide in the morning and/or evening. You can add the masque once a week, or only use it for spot treatment. Meaning just apply it to the areas where you have breakouts; I am doing this a lot. You can use it multiple times a week. I am usually doing it for 3-5 minutes every second day, and it works pretty well. But do not overdo it in case you feel stinging or get irritation, stop doing it. Also, have you tried to add a Benzoyl Peroxide cream to spot treat the stubborn pimple areas? Paula’s Choice has a great product: www.paulaschoice.com/clear-extra-strength-daily-skin-clearing-treatment-with-5pct-benzoyl-peroxide/611.html

@@marvinmendoza3836 In this case, it does not matter, and you can apply it whenever you like. But for me, it works best after Salicylic Acid :) I have read some studies with Azelaic acid as well. I recommend applying it on top of Azelaic Acid, because the ordinary Azelaic Acid has Dimethicone in it. This way, it will penetrate slower into the skin, and you will end up with less irritation. So there are multiple options. I also used it with Niacinamide. You have to apply the Niacinamide before Benzoyl Peroxide. You can't go wrong with the products you are using ;) There is no cross-reactivity. But always patch test before applying it all over :)

So I just started using The Ordinary’s daily set. I read that this Salicylic Acid Mask is best for acne. How would I incorporate this mask into the daily set? I use the Squalene Cleanser first, then the hyaluronic acid, and then the Natural Moisturising Factors. You were a big help on how to use the daily set by the way! So if I were to use this mask would I stop using any of the other products? Or could I just use all of them and throw the mask in like after the squalene cleanser and then do the hyaluronic acid and the moisturizer? Also, I use the daily set AM and PM. And I know I should also only use this like 2 times a week. Are there any other products you would recommend I use, if so could you explain how to do that? I’m very new at all this. 😁😁😁

Hello Luke, "Or could I just use all of them and throw the mask in like after the squalene cleanser and then do the hyaluronic acid and the moisturizer? Also, I use the daily set AM and PM. And I know I should also only use this like two times a week." Yes :) If you suffer from acne, you can use their new 2% Salicylic Acid solution. But do you have a lot of acne? If so it may be best to buy "real" acne treatment. If it is only a little, the mask or the 2% SA solution should already do its job.

It has a low pH; therefore, it can sting yes. If it is only for a moment, I wouldn't worry too much, but if you can not tolerate it, it's probably best to change it to a BHA cleanser or a higher pH leave on exfoliant. (BHA = Salicylic Acid) Yes, that one is drying. The best eye cream I have tried so far is from Paula's Choice, the Omega+ Complex. But it is costly.
