Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. I have the Pore-Reducing Toner and the 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I would first wash my face with filter cold water and then apply the 2 products without rinse, twice a day? Morning and nights before bed.

How often you can use PC BHA depends on your skin tolerance. Therefore, I would recommend starting with once per day every other day for some time before increasing the frequency.

Aw! This is my favorite toner. I've been using it for over a year now. I dont use a cotton pad though. I put it right onto my hand and pat it in to my face, neck and chest. It's so great because it can be used with anything. I dont have to worry about conflicting ingredients. Also what is the purpose of azelaic acid? I've always been curious of the ingredient. Thank you.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! :) Yes, it is a great toner! :) Azelaic Acid is like a mild exfoliant although you can not really compare it with an AHA or BHA. It works differently. Azelaic Acid is often used on people that have rosacea and/or acne prone skin to reduce redness/acne and smoothen the skin texture. However, it is great for oily skin as well since it can make oily skin types less oily while using it. My husband has oily skin and he loves it a lot!

Hi. I have recently subscribed and your videos are so very helpful. Does this toner contain direct acids or Vitamin C as I wish to find one I can use with The Ordinary skincare products. Thank you x

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын

It contains Niacinamide so, theoretically, you shouldn't use it with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid).

Yes, but The Ordinary Niacinamide should not be used with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) while layering them after another. I think it primarily depends on the formulation of the products. Therefore I always recommend sticking to their advice when using their products. Or what did you mean 🤔

Hi Melissa! Been following and watching your videos for the past few weeks. I learned a lot... thank you very much! I also love how active and patient you are responding to all the questions in the comment section. My question is... Ive been using The Oridnary Glycolic Acid Toner and I learned from you the frequency of using it. So, I read from your advice in the comment section to use other Toner in the other days... and you recommend Paula's Choice. I have oily, dark spots and not so good facial texture... what will you recommend... and what is better, Pore Reducing Toner or Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner? Thank you! Stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️

@@lizmartin1844 So, you can use your Vitamin C and Azelaic Acid in the AM and your Discolouration Serum and Retinol in the PM. However, in the beginning, keep your Discolouration serum and Retinol in separate routines. You may be able to use them together once your skin has adjusted to them. Also, PC 1% Retinol Treatment is pretty intense, so I recommend being careful with it.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 4 ай бұрын

Hydrating toners and exfoliating acid toners serve different purposes in skincare. Hydrating toners are designed to moisturize and replenish the skin's hydration after cleansing. They often contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera, which help to retain moisture in the skin. On the other hand, exfoliating acid toners focus on removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. These toners typically contain acids such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), including glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids, or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), like salicylic acid. They gently exfoliate the skin's surface to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. While hydrating toners are primarily for hydration, exfoliating acid toners are for improving skin texture and clarity.

If this is your only exfoliating acid product, it may work if used twice a day. However, using it twice a day can often be too much. I suggest starting with using it once every other day, and after some time, increasing the frequency to daily use and even twice a day to figure out the right frequency for your individual needs.

Hey! :) Yes, I'm good, I hope that you are doing good too! :) Yes, this can happen with any new product. You could dilute it with a moisturiser until your skin has built up the tolerance. However, if it isn't getting any better over a month. I recommend stop using it.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын

@@crystalH30 Okay, so here is a bit more information. AHA = Alpha Hydroxy Acids = Glycolic, Lactic or Mandelic Acid(the most popular once) They are most suitable for dry skin types as they removes dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, hydrates the skin and reduces dark spots. BHA = Beta Hydroxy Acids = Salicylic Acid (The one that Paula's Choice also offers, but is also available from the Ordinary the 2% Salicylic Acid is the same thing but much cheaper) Best for normal to oily and even acne/blemish prone skin as it removes dead skin cells on the surface and in the pores, regulates oiliness, reduces enlarged pores and blackheads and has anti-inflammatory properties. So I think you should go with BHA = Beta Hydroxy Acids = Salicylic Acid How to use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htGBg8ql0NK7c3U.html

@@crystalH30 Well, the enlarged pores are usually caused by too much oil production, so I went with BHA. But you can also mix Lactic Acid with BHA to have the benefits of both.

There is a small symbol on the packaging somewhere, commonly referred to as the 'period after opening' symbol. Typically, it is represented by an icon of an open jar, followed by a number and the letter 'M'. This symbol refers to the product's shelf life after it has been opened for the first time. The number indicates the number of months the product is considered safe and effective to use. For example, if a product has a symbol showing '12M', it means that the product should be used within 12 months of opening.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Жыл бұрын

Technically to rebalance the skin. Toner adds hydration to the skin and essential oils, which the cleanser took away. It is a bit controversial, and I think both ways are fine, and I also think that it primarily depends on the formulation of your toner and the exfoliant you have.
