Yes, you can mix Lactic Acid with your body moisturiser. However, I would always mix it fresh (in the palm of your hand) and then apply it to the different body parts. How much Lactic Acid you are going to use depends on how much moisturiser you use. Try with 5 drops every time you mix it and see how it goes, if you want to use more, try with more. There isn't really a specific guide😅

Hi Melissa I have a different question. I read in the ordinary's website that it's discuraged to use the product Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% along with water based products in the same routine because vitamin c tends to loose efficacy when in contact with water. I don't understand if I can use my moisturiser because, of course, it contains water. Maybe it's a dumb question but I'm really confused 😂
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial3 жыл бұрын
I think that this means that you should not mix it with such formulations, or probably the formulation itself. However, based on my experience using a water-based serum before or a moisturizer after will not lead to any conflict. But this product is a real troublemaker, and it can stay on the skin for a more extended period. So it may be best to use it on it's own. I'm not particularly eager to use it in combination with a moisturizer. But it would be best if you do not combine it with products containing Niacinamide, Peptides, Direct Acids, Retinoids, or EUK 134 0.1%.

I use a sunscreen but it causes pills when rubbed in too much. I started mixing the sunscreen with only one drop of the ordinary niacinamide serum, and the sunscreen doesn’t create pills anymore. Is this okay to do? Or will it affect the work of the sunscreen?
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial3 жыл бұрын
Theoretically, it can dilute the sunscreen, and the full protection may not be given anymore. The pilling happens because formulations do not go well together or because of other products you have used before sitting on top of the skin. For example, if you would apply 4-5drops of Niacinamide to your face, it can sit on top and cause pilling. But sometimes it's just oils + silicon and water formulations. But I do not recommend mixing it, and I would instead change the sunscreen or Niacinamide serum.

Hello Julia, Once EUK feels dry on the skin, you can use your moisturizer right after. It usually takes about 30seconds to 1minute. If it takes longer, you have probably used too much serum. You can also mix EUK with your moisturizer. For that, you need to find the right amount suitable for your skin needs. I would say about 1 pea-sized amount of moisturizer, and 2-3 drops should be enough for your whole face and neck :) You can't really do anything wrong when only using these 2 products since they do not conflict.

Hello, hm I have replied to you about 1hour ago.🤔 I am currently getting many emails, so it takes some time. If you do not get an answer just write again after a few days. So that it pops back up to the top 🙂 Edit: maybe just check your mailbox again :)
