In this video, you will learn how to apply The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution.
Targets: Dullness, Uneven Tone, Textural Irregularities
Format: Water-Based Serum
Regimen Step: After cleansing, before serums
Conflicts: Do not combine with other strong acids, EUK 134 0.1%, or peptides.
Time of Use: Ideally PM
The general rule of thumb for the order of application is:
Water-based serums
Anhydrous solutions and oil formulations
Creams and suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). It's recommended to apply eye serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
A maximum of two serum formulations should be used in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!

You can try it with Glycolic Acid and see if it works or not! :)

I realized after 30 seconds of burning that perhaps i used too much acid. Luckily it wasnt too bad, and with some vitamin E and cocoa butter it cleared up after about an hour or so. This video was very informative on other products i shouldnt use 😂

Thank you so much for the video. I have a question though. When googling if i can use Glycolic Acid with one of the direct acids in the video i get told this "Can glycolic and azelaic acid be used together? Yes, it is considered perfectly safe to use azelaic acid and glycolic acid together. Using both acids in your daily routine is an easy change to make for a huge impact to your skin" I get this answer for pretty much all of them but the strong AHA + BHA peeling solution. Edit: I also want to say that you're an amazing person, i just saw how you're helping and responding to everyones problems in the comments 2 years after you've uploaded the video. Thank you again. Edit: I'm stupid. I just figured it out after watching 15 seconds more of the video. I just need to use one in the morning and the other in evening. I don't want to delete my comment because you still deserve the nice words.

So far, my routine is the Cerave renewing sa cleanser, an exfoliator from Paula’s Choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant, then the Ordinary’s niacinamide serum, a Bliss drench & quench moisturizer, and unseen sunscreen from Supergoop. The night routine would be a replacement of the sunscreen with a cleansing balm. My question is how I can put the Ordinary Glycolic acid into my routine.

Thank you for your tips! Questions if you can help - I was told to purchase The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% and The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA. So I did. But from what I understood in this video, I should NOT use these 2 products together. Should I keep both - use the gylcolic acid 2 - 3x a week and then the day I'm not using glycolic I can use the Lactic Acid instead? Should I return one of them? What way would you recommend using these two products if I should keep them both?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Hm, where did you buy these products? Because both are AHA's and have similar effects on the skin. If you use them together, you will use 17% of AHA's together, and when doing that more often, it will lead to over-exfoliation, and you can burn your skin. That's very strong. How often you can use them depends on your personal tolerance for these products. However, I recommend starting with one and see how that goes. Use it 2-3 times a week and see what happens, and based on that, adjust it. But do not overdo it. ;)

How often you should exfoliate depends on your skin type and skin concerns.

And, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and/or Sunday use the Ordinary one (in the evenings, but only cleansing my face and moisturizing my face afterwards). Is that okay?

Hello again, 😀 do you have the following toner "HydraFresh face toner by L'Oréal Paris"? If so, yes, you can do that. That one does not include any exfoliating acids. The order would be like this: Cleanser Loreal Toner Niacinamide Mandelic Acid Azelaic Acid You do not have to use them all at once, but that's just the correct order of application. ;) You need to adjust it and feel that it is too much to reduce it and alternate the products according to your skin needs! :)

I’m not sure if you’ll read this, but on the days that we aren’t supposed to use the toner, what should I do?? Just skip to the next step? (which is serum) or find a replacement toner? a new step? I feel weird not using toner everyday’ TIA 💘

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

Hello 😀 You can use it on a daily base, but slowly incorporate it into your routine. I am just telling people this so that they don't overdo it, and it can be quite harsh in the beginning! Example: 1 week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 2 week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 3 week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 4 week.... Until your skin has adjusted to the product, and yes, you will skip it, only apply the other products. Most people can exfoliate once a day, but I wouldn't recommend it when starting... Hope this makes sense ;)

Hi this video was really helpful! I had a question though, so after I apply this glycolic acid toning solution, how long would I have to wait before I can use my cerave moisturizer? Can I use it immediately afterward or should I wait for about 30 minutes-ish?

Hi there! I'm using 1% Retinol and 7% Glycolic Acid in the same routine 3 nights a week. My skin has zero issues with this combo. Do they cancel each other out? Or is it discouraged in the same routine because it can be harsh?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! :) Do you use The Ordinary 1% Retinol? For how long have you been using them in the same routine? This can work since you are not using them daily. So, if it works for you, keep going. However, for some people, using them in the same routine or too often during the week can lead to irritation. Therefore it's important to start slowly and adjust the frequency over time to see what the skin can tolerate.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialWow, thank you for your response! 🙂 I do use the Ordinary 1% Retinol! That's good to hear, I didn't realize it wasn't recommended.

@@tsuyuasui7297 It can, however, there is no research and only some online "opinions" about this. And Mandelic Acid has some research and shows excellent results on darker skin types. Glycolic Acid can cause discolouration, but according to what I have read in studies, it can be on darker and lighter skin tones. In any case, Mandelic Acid would be the safest and gentlest option!

Please do not use Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid in the same routine, especially if you are new to acids😅 Use them at alternate times and then you can use Niacinamide afterwards, like so: PM Routine: - Cleanse - Glycolic Acid - Niacinamide - (Optional) Moisturiser or PM Routine: - Cleanse - Lactic Acid - Niacinamide - (Optional) Moisturiser You can use those acids daily, however, if you're new to them, start with 2-3 times per week so that your skin has time to adjust to the products before using it daily😊
