Hey! I have been using ordinary lactic acid for 3 years used 5% then 10% 3 time a week but I want to ask can I have a break of few months from lactic acid serums? I'm not facing any issues with that but I wanted some break . Is it ok or my skin will go back to dull?

[@riyasapra491]

Hey ! Thankyou so much for this Very informative video I have one question I am 26 & i have acne on my chin area , i by mistake have bought 10 % lactic acid . I am not using any other acids on my skin as you recommended but is it normal if it tingles ? Like very minimal tingling not that much . It goes away after drying you know , should i keep going? I am using 3-4 drops max only to cover my entire face & neck

[@Lauragement]

Hey! Yes it’s perfectly normal that it tingles, make sure you’re not using it more than 3-4 times a week and at night preferably

ahahah you're so cute! thank you🥰💓

[@louiseazanon8629]

BINGE watching your videos… so informative. I’m loving these series so much 🥰 i just have two questions: 1) can i use vitamin C and TO alpha arbutin in the mornings together ? 2) can i use my 8% mandelic acid 3 nights a week, and then BHA 1 night and then retinol 1 other night? idk if it’s too much actives for my acne prone sensitive skin (PS i’m also darker skin!) I saw in your other video lactic acid is better for darker tones than glycolic, but hopefully mandelic is also better for darker skin! Also suggestion for a video is acids / retinols you’d recommend for darker skin tones, i don’t see many videos like this and it would be sooo helpful for many :) Also, if you could do a video on choosing between AHAs / BHAs based on skin concern! keep doing you! you’re doing awesome!!

[@Lauragement]

hey! I'm glad you like them! 💕 1) You can, although I would not do it... and use them in separate routines 2) yes you can definitely use mandelic acid for your dark skin, since you are acne-prone, I'd recommend 2 nights BHA, 2 nights mandelic acid and 1 night retinol ;) Make sure that your morning skincare routines are not too much and focus on a lot of hydration in the rest of your routines! Okay, it's noted, that would be super helpful indeed! Awww thank you girl!! 💖🥺 that's so appreciated!

[@trishalabasi8508]

do we take a break after a long of the serum or should i continue it using... it's been 9 weeks of using niacinamide.. it's showing good result... should i continue it? or take a break of few weeks or try other serums??

[@Lauragement]

Hey! Are you talking about the Niacinamide or Lactic Acid Serum? Just know that a product works by consistent use and continual use, if something works for you, then keep it up! Don't stop using a product if you don't notice anything weird or any irritation/damage in your skin. Also, you don't need "breaks" from products if everything is right for your skin😉

[@rinkyabraham9161]

Hey would you be able to discuss strawberry legs treatment using ordinary products ?

[@Lauragement]

Hey! actually, strawberry legs could be caused by different things, it could even be keratosis pilaris. I would advise you to go see a dermatologist but I think you'd be able to treat it with exfoliating acids

[@nanipanini]

also: what about the ordinary Pore Flush / Hylamide? what's your opinion about it? i searched the keyword on your channel but didnt find anything. 💖

[@Lauragement]

Hi, well I never heard of it, but it looks like it's getting discontinued...

[@deeznuts-cj2hn]

Can you recommend products I can use with Lactic acid like moisturizers as a face routine? love this video by the way♥️

[@godislove2709]

Thanks sis but can I use vitamin c day cream as moisturiser after the ordinary niacinamide serum

[@Lauragement]

yeah you can! but I wouldn't recommend using niacinamide everyday

[@chiarabarbagallo3938]

Hi, you said to not use vitamin c in the same routine but dose it mean I can’t use it at the same time (like both at night) or I can use one in the morning and the other at night in the same day? Sorry English is not my mother language so I didn’t understand this part

[@Lauragement]

Hi, it's alright :) That means that you shouldn't use both lactic acid and vitamin C for example on the same night. You could use vitamin C in the morning and then lactic acid at night without problem!

[@farheenkhan2514]

Can I apply moisturizer over this serum or do I have to rinse it first before applying moisturizer to my face? Coz my skin is very dry.

[@Lauragement]

Hey! You should not rinse Lactic Acid because it's a leave-on product, if you rinse it, it's not going to work.

[@shyamala3772]

Thankyou for sharing

[@Sk00n]

Thank you so much for this video, I need help. I started using lactic acid in January and I thought I was purging, I have acne marks on my cheeks as that’s where I break out the most and after using lactic acid for almost 2.5 months I’m still breaking out. Now I have more acne marks and my skin looks worst than before. What can I do to improve this

[@Lauragement]

Hi! I'm sorry you're going through this... I think you should stop using it for a good month and see what happens, focus on repairing your skin barrier. How often did you use it?

[@jonellholly5087]

You're over exfoliating likely, cease using any aha and repair skin barrier

[@lesliestroud6656]

You suggested taking lactic acid in the evenings. I also apply my retinol in the evenings. Is that safe?

[@Lauragement]

I would recommend to separate them, one night you do retinol and the over night lactic acid.

[@ezminasarvani1730]

Hey, I want to start using this, I have dry and dull skin, I have been using Tretinoin for about 4 months now and would like to continue using it but I would like to know if I could use the lactic acid once a week and not use the tret on this day and use it on the other days of the week or do I have to totally stop using the tret if I want to use the lactic acid.

[@elenabeee]

i’ve successfully used 10% lactic acid on my off-tret nights ! i just make sure to apply at least 2 layers of super hydrating serums/moisturizer/creams after tret to make sure i protect my skin barrier~ if ur using tret already, 10% LA feels more gentle and hydrating …

[@Matteo-ju4ef]

You are really good and you are the only one, among many, to explain everything perfectly. I bought 5% lactic acid but I have never done a chemical peel and besides I have a little sensitive skin, I will do as you advised: mix it in the moisturizer (Cerave lotion). I should buy salicylic acid, as I have combination skin with blemishes and young skin, but I fear it is too strong for my skin. Right now I am using the probiotic serum with 4% niacinamide from Vichy but then I will switch to the serum from The Ordinary, the latter mixed in the cream. Grazie mille e ciao ciao 😊

[@melzlikebee]

we Matteo, ti consiglio in realtà di mettere prima il Lactic Acid e poi abbonda con il moisturizer dopo aver messo l'exfoliant (perché se mischi, potresti "cambiare" la formula, più che altro potresti alterare la funzione dell'exfoliant) Ricordati poi la crema solare. Per il Salicylic acid invece, io ho provato la maschera di The Ordinary con 2% (che trovi ovunque con questa percentuale) e non è irritante come pensavo. (anche qui abbonda di crema idratante, comunque lo sto usando da poco quindi ti dico quel che ho visto in questi giorni. ✌️

[@Lauragement]

Thank you so much! I'm sorry I never saw your comment! So how'd it go for your skin?

[@Matteo-ju4ef]

@@melzlikebee grazie mille per il consiglio😊! Per evitare un eventuale purging o desquamazione successivamente applico il cicapalst gel: funziona ma è altrettanto vero che l'acido lattico è blando. Grazie ancora

@@Matteo-ju4ef that's cool! 🤩

[@carvinuz03]

If I started using a retinol (5%), can I switched to lactic acid instead? I think I mistakenly used retinol instead of lactic acid from the ordinary. Also, I am using niacinamide (10%) in the morning and have a plan to switch to lactic acid at night. Is it okay? I am a beginnner anyway.

[@Lauragement]

Hi, retinol and lactic acid don't do the same thing, but if you don't have real skin issues (like acne, hyperpigmentation, etc) you don't really need a retinol before you're 25. Also, you can use lactic acid at night when you've used niacinamide in the morning, but I don't recommend using them everyday.

[@yamiku03]

One question can you get a scar from lactic acid 10%? Because I used it yesterday and I suddenly have a scar (indented) a few centimetres below my lips which I didn't have before

[@Lauragement]

An indented scar cannot happen overnight with just one skincare product. What Lactic Acid could do though is leave a hyperpigmentation scar (darker color) if you use it too often and too much, especially if you are dark skin, or an irritation like a burn or a rash.

[@puhamarius3119]

Can i use lactic acid and after 10minutes application of azelaic acid 10% booster by paula's choice? Or is better to use on different days?

[@Lauragement]

I would do different days :)

[@kinzaasad3147]

Should we wash off or leave it all night?

[@idonotwishtotell]

Should I be using it if I have hyperpigmentation and a beginner with acids if I am 18+ ish?

[@Lauragement]

Hey! No problem with you being 18+, but I recommend you watch this video to know about which acid is exactly the one for you according to your skin type and issues: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4e1mmdor8eMgpo

[@nyi28228]

Can I use lactic acid 5% serum with CeraVe hydrating cleanser and cosrx AHA/BHA toner? How should I make a routine with these products?? I am new to skincare world so it will really help if you reply to this comment. Thanks ❤❤

[@Lauragement]

Hi! I suggest you use them separately, as lactic acid is already an AHA. If you haven't opened one of them, I would even recommend you just use one for now. If you've opened both, then you can use each of them 1-2 times a week. And the cleanser is fine with them.

[@Jory96-44]

Hey , thank you so much , can I use it with hydroquinone 4% ?

[@Lauragement]

Hi! I don't think so. Hydroquinone is a very harsh lightening ingredient that's even banned in Europe.

[@Me-zw8tc]

hi, after putting on the lactic acid, di you put a moisturizer?

[@Lauragement]

yes!

[@prisylaaguayo1]

What about using together with The Ordinary’s “Buffet/Multi-peptide”?

[@Lauragement]

I think it's totally fine if you can already tolerate the Niacinamide serum on its own and don't have sensitive skin!

[@GrahamConnor]

If I used this twice per week, could I also use the Granactive Retinoid twice per week on days I don't use the Lactic Acid? :)

[@Lauragement]

totally :)

[@nanipanini]

what about Rose Water? Dr Dray said that it is overhyped, she said that it might even TAKE moisture of the skin, making it kinda senseless. I have been using rose water for years, but am questioning it, maybe its just BS of the beauty industry? i watched your video about Witch Hazel, so I think what you say about Witch Hazel goes for Rose Water too?

[@Lauragement]

Exactly, you're right! I think rose water can even cause "harm" to some people because most of the times it's derived from the fragrant part of the rose or even has some fragrant components added like essential oils or fragrance, and this could cause sensitivity or irritation. But if it's been working good for you and it's just rose water from the non-fragrant part of rose, then continue using it! It can actually bring some hydration and be good to your skin right after cleansing 😉

[@nanipanini]

@@Lauragement Thank you for the long response! :) I have been struggling with irritated skin, and I just checked my rose water (the brand is Rosense), it says there's Geraniol, Linalool & Citronellol added as ingredients … I just wrote Rosense an email, asking if Geraniol, Linalool & Citronellol are added just for the fragrance or if they serve any other skin care purpose, which I doubt.

[@Lauragement]

@@nanipanini yes I'm pretty sure they're just fragrant components, I like how dedicated you are!🥰

[@honey3693]

I've tried rose water and it somehow dries my skin so i stopped. But i think since we have different skin types rose water can work to others and to some like me it doesn't.

[@lisagardner4814]

@@Lauragement can I ask a question so I have dull and dry skin and I’m looking to exfoliate someone told me to put it on after my oil temp checked my skin because my skin is sensitive dry flaky, mature I also deal with fungal, acne, folliculitis, and S dermatitis and also was told that lactic acid will help with this condition so I’m not sure if you know anything about that but I’m looking for something to get the skin off without rubbing or excessively causing any damage

[@Lauragement]

[@lisagardner4814]

OK, so I feverishly have been googling and you tubing how do use lactic acid and I really like your video I have never used acids before someone told me to mix lactic acid with an oil weather be jojoba or whatever I tolerate to dilute it ? My theory is wouldn’t change the pH.
