For my dry skin nighttime routine, I use a creamy cleanser, the BHA 2%, then Retin-a, and a thick petroleum cream on top to seal it all in, like Cerave healing ointment. My skin has never looked better! For those who think their skin can handle this routine, I really recommend it! 🤗

Hi Melissa! I love your videos, they are extremely helpful and have helped me a lot! I had a quick question, If I am using the ordinary; Niacinamide, Coffee solution, and lactic acid, what order should I use these in?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Hey 🙂 I have a guide for this, but with the caffeine solution it may be a bit confusing. Lactic Acid = Exfoliant, Water Based Serum Niacinamide = Water-Based Serum Caffeine Solution = Water Based serum. 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!! So basically Caffeine Solution Lactic Acid Niacinamide But you have to test it and see what works best for you. Also I recommend the following videos for you: The Ordinary For Beginners: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ms-Rf7mcxKvXeWg.html Can I use The Ordinary Lactic Acid Everyday and Do I need to Wash it Off -With Example Routine: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZd1lZSlrNCopIk.html

It depends on how well you tolerate it. But generally, it should not be an issue! If it becomes too much (dryness, redness, etc.), skip 1 or 2 days; that will solve the problem.

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Generally, using BHA daily is for most people not an issue. But that's very individual; it depends on many factors such as your skin concerns, skin type, what else you are using, your age etc. I, for example, can use the BHA cleanser 2% daily. Sometimes, it gets too much, and I reduce the frequency of it, so I take a break for a few days and start again. I mainly target pimples, so it also depends on what you want to target. You need to adjust it, but it can work, yes.

I was using the Mario badescu glycolic acid but adding this 2% BHA product I might stop? Not sure. I also want to start using a serum? What do you recommend? I see u say not to use vitamin C. What about vitamin E? Thank you!!

Hey :) I recommend looking for a hydrating and soothing toner without additional exfoliating acids in it. So far, I have mainly used Paula's Choice toners which I like a lot! I like her Enriched Calming Toner and Purely Natural Refreshing Toner. Those two feel great on my skin! :) Since it does not mention a % of your Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner, it is difficult to say how strong it is, but if you like to keep on using it, use it when not using your BHA, which could also be in the AM if that's fine for your skin! :) Don't forget your SPF when being exposed to the sun :) Well, you can use it with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) if your skin can tolerate it. However, if you are new to it, I recommend not using them together since it may lead to stinging. You are fine to use your 2% BHA with other Vitamin C products that contain derivatives that aren't as 'harsh' on the skin as Ascorbic Acid :) You are fine to use it with a Vitamin E product.

I've always had kinda clear skin and my skincare routine was basically just washing my face using handsoap so i'm a skincare newbie here. I have dry/balanced skin, slight hyperpigmentation around my mouth area (kinda common with poc, i'm black) and those small little bumps which i later came to find out were comedones but they weren't too much they were skin coloured and hardly noticeable. So to fix those issues i finally started a proper skincare routine which consisted of: - cerave hydrating cleanser - ordinary lactic acid 10% - ordinary alpha arbutin 2% - cerave moisturizing cream I've been doing this at night-time for around a month now and although my hyperpigmentation got way better, the few comedones that i had increased alot and became more noticeable. Wanted your opinion on what could have caused this, how can i solve it and finally would paula's choice exfoliate be of any help. Plus if i was to get it how could i include it in my current routine and would i need to remove lactic acid from my routine to use it, would it be a better option for me than lactic acid? Sorry for the long comment and also wanted to let you know that i love your channel it's very helpful
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! :) If you squeeze those bumps, does anything come out? Are they painful? You could try PC BHA Gel or Lotion instead because you have a drier skin type, or look into a Retinol like PC 0,3% Retinol Treatment. And yes, you would replace it with Lactic Acid.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much for replying and no nothing comes out of them and they're not painful at all. Also do i have to completely remove lactic acid from my routine to use the PC BHA gel/lotion or could i maybe use them in like turns or something? because i'm not sure if it was the lactic acid or the alpha arbutin but my hyperpigmentation did get alot better and i'm afraid removing the lactic acid will also stop the improvements with the hyperpigmentation.

generally, my advice would be not to use them together if your formulation has more than 15% of Ascorbic Acid, but you also need to consider the pH of the formulation. Which Vitamin C do you use? 🤔

I used the 2% BHA exfoliant and then the purple bottle with bakuchiol 2% afterwards and it burnt, like is this order wrong? Or is it to acidic for my skin? I got combination skin. Also my skin started flaking in some areas, is that normal? I used it twice now with 3 days apart.

I use the same products in the am and pm. if I use the paulas choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant twice a week in the pm, should I change my routine to suit the one you suggested at 7:12 ? i thought you had to use hyaluronic acid and niacinamide in both the am and pm.

"Cleanser, BHA, Snail Mucin, Serum & Moisturizer, and no Azelaic because my skin doesn't get dry enough to absorb the ordinary 10% Azelaic acid well enough after applying serum or moisturizer." You are using too much of each product; therefore, it does that. You can use Azelaic Acid morning and/or evening, as it is not influenced by heat and sunlight.

As I am experiencing new breakouts and post acne marks lately, I am thinking of incorporating paula's choice bha 2% into my routine. But I don't know if I should use this or the ordinary's azelaic acid? (I have combination skin and I have never used an acid before.)
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын
Hello again 🙂 Hmm yes, you can incorporate it into your routine. However, it is very strong and tends to break people out even more in the beginning. I am only using it as a mask leave it on for 5-15minutes and rinse it off. My husband does this daily, and it works very well for him too. What I want to say it that you can try it, but if the breakouts are really coming from a product example Hyaluronic Acid it may be best to figure out the product that's causing it so that you don't have to buy other products to solve this problem ;) Just trying to help. You can of course just buy it, and test it 🤪 Regarding Azelaic Acid I am not sure I have tested it recently and yes I wasn't impressed by it.

Hi Melissa love your videos lots and I have been having trouble with putting together my skincare routine. Currently this is my skincare routine: AM: Inkey list Sa cleanser, hyaluronic acid, cereve moisturizer, sunscreen PM: Cetephil gentle cleanser, Paulas Choice BHA(three times a week), cereve moisturizer and the ordinary reship seed oil. I have been noticing still having blackheads and some skin texture and clogged pores so I am considering using Paula Choice BHA every night instead and possibly incorporating niacinimde either morning or night. Do you think that this is a good idea, should I use a gentle cleanser instead of SA cleanser in the morning and should I continue using reship oil every night?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 жыл бұрын
I recommend changing the cleanser in the evening (and maybe morning, too) since the gentle cleanser is used for dry skin, so use Cetaphil Daily Facial cleanser. That should solve the issue. And for the Blackheads, it is best to extract them, as they are tough to remove with BHA if not impossible (if they are deep in the skin, you must use a tool). Personally, I think that The Inkey list SA cleanser works better than Paula's Choice BHA, so you can also try to skip the BHA in the evening and use the SA cleanser twice a day so that you do not need to buy additional stuff. 😉

Hey! 😊 Yes, that's fine. However, since you're new to a salicylic acid (BHA) product, you may want to try something gentler because PC BHA is potent. Either a salicylic acid cleanser or Paula's Choice offers a gentler formulation from their Clear Line (Regular Strength).

Is there a specific product from the "Clear" line you'd recommend for someone that's got pores on the bigger side, and also who struggle with acne?

Can i use the paula's choice skin balancing pore-reducing toner then the liquid exfoliant. Because I know it has Niacinamide in it.

Do you mean because of the pH? It does not matter :) It only matters when you use a high amount of acid and when your formulation is not stable. Example. If you have Niacinamide with pH five and use an acid with pH 3,5 you apply it on the skin, you use a huge amount of both it may become unstable, and therefore you can experience redness or itching it is not harmful. Just very annoying. Generally speaking, the pH is not a big issue. In fact, I have never come across any problems when using Paula's Choice products. It mainly happens with cheap products or poorly formulated products. To understand why this happens, you need to ask a chemist since I don't know. 🤪 But just try it and buy some trendy Korean brands and use the acid, and you will find out. 😉It happens very often with those products. Not going to name any ;)

Hi Melissa , I was wondering is it okay to use the Paula’s choice 0.3% Retinol/2% Bakuchiol treatment after I use Paulas 2% BHA Exfoliant? I see here you only mention Paula’s 1% retinol and not to use it after the BHA. I have been incorporating this product in my night skin routine for 3 nights now and so far so good. But now I’m worried because you say BHA & Retinol shouldn’t be mix , but it’s a lower percentage. Should I continue ? Please help!!

Paula's Choice BHA and Retinol treatments are so far the most potent over-the-counter products that I have tried so far. So, I recommend being careful. Yes, it's a lower %, but I recommend keeping using them in separate routines and giving your skin enough time to adjust to both products individually before using them together. Retinol has a delayed response. Meaning, that if you apply your Retinol on Monday, you will see on Thursday or Friday how your skin tolerates it. So, if you are using your Retinol in the beginning too often, it can lead to excessive dryness and sensitivity. The same thing can happen with your BHA (it does not have a delayed response), but when using it too often or combined with Retinol, it really increases the risk of dryness and sensitivity. Therefore keep them in separate routines. Either use your BHA in the AM and Retinol in the PM or use both in the PM but alternate between.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Ahhh you are saving my skin from future damage! I will definitely use the products on different routines, BHA in the morning and Retinol at night. I was really convinced that it was ok because of the % haha 😅 Thank you so much for replying ❤️.
