How to use Beauty of Joseon Green Plum AHA + BHA Refreshing Toner

[@rosechan4999]

See this is what beauty/ skincare videos should be informative, technical, and clear. Many time people don’t tell you what not to mix products with and you use a product that conflicts with another and damage your skin. This review is 10/10 ✨

hi melissa, I have oily skin, breakouts and large pores.What do you think about this routine? 1-CeraVe foaming facial cleanser 2-BOJ refreshing green plum toner 3-CeraVe spot treatment with SA 4-Purito Oat moisturiser

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

The order of application looks good; however, I recommend using BOJ Exfoliating Acid Toner and CeraVe Gel in separate routines. You may be able to use them on the same day-if your skin tolerates it-otherwise, use them on alternate days.

Hey Melissa! Loved the review, I had a couple questions. Is it okay to use a vitamin C product after using the toner such as the Melano CC serum? Also, is it okay to use a tranexamic acid or azelaic acid serum after the toner. Would using any of these result in irritation? Thank you!

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

This depends on your skin tolerance and how often you're using those products. It can work; however, if it's too potent for your skin to tolerate, I recommend keeping them in separate routines.

Hi Melissa, what toner do you recommend for sensitive and acne prone skin like me? Thank you.

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

You could give the Beauty of Joseon Toner a try! However, overall, a 2% salicylic acid (SA) product may be more suitable. You may consider using a serum like the one from The Ordinary, which contains 2% salicylic acid. Regarding sensitivity, it really depends on your personal skin tolerance. These products can still work, but it is essentially random if you haven't used such products before. Therefore, there is no way around testing them to see how your skin reacts.

Is this gonna help with skin texture and hyperpigmentation? Im asking because of the low percentage of BHA and AHA. Love your videos.

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

It will definitely help with skin texture, but its effectiveness on hyperpigmentation depends on the type. For dark spots after breakouts and sun spots, it will certainly have some impact when used consistently, even with the low percentage. However, typically, concentrations of 5% to 10% are often recommended for addressing such concerns. May I ask what type of hyperpigmentation you are experiencing?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

You can use it as an exfoliator. Whether it helps smooth out the bumpy skin largely depends on the cause of the texture. If the unevenness is due to a buildup of dead skin cells, it can certainly make a difference over time!

Hello! I am using a serum with azelaic acid in it every evening and I have just bought the plum toner. Should I not use the serum when applying the toner? If so, is it only until my skin gets used to the toner? Or never combine the two of them?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Well, it is quite gentle, but the response to both products also varies from person to person. If you use them more frequently, there's a chance they might cause sensitivities. Therefore, I suggest initially using them separately on different days to see how you respond. If that goes well, you can then consider using them together, but only if you feel the need to do so and respond well to both.

Hi Melissa I just want to ask if how many serums should you incorporate in your am or pm routine? Is 3 serums in a morning or evening routine too much?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

It depends on the serum - whether it's water-based or not, its texture, and how much you use. Let's take Beauty of Joseon's serums as an example. In that case, you could use three serums per routine (but I wouldn’t use more than 3) since they are lightweight and water-based. However, do you really need that many serums? I recommend keeping it as simple as possible.

How much acne do you have? In that case, I suggest using a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser, which you can still use along with these serums.

[@minerva3449]

Hello can i know which one is better :( the ordinary glycolic or this toner ) and can i add salicylic acid serum with one of them ?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

The Ordinary's product is very potent, so Beauty of Joseon AHA+BHA might be a better choice if you have sensitive skin. However, if your skin can tolerate it, The Ordinary's version tends to show faster results. Also, BHA is equivalent to salicylic acid, so if you use the product I demonstrated in the video, you're already getting both. Generally, it's not advisable to use two exfoliating acids in one routine. This can expose your skin to excessive amounts of acid, often leading to irritation or increased sensitivity over time.

I have a quick question, so I'm still using all of the Ordinary products that I've spoken to you about in the past and I recently just purchased the "Paula's Choice 2% AHA+BHA Exfoliant" replacing the Ordinary's AHA+BHA one since that one didn't do my skin much justice. I wanted to ask what order would I put the Hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide, mandelic acid and plant derive and the chemical exfoliant in? For my morning routine, I use everything but the mandelic acid and at nights I use everything but the plant derived thingy. Thanks!

As for your whiteheads, you have a couple of options. You could see a professional to get your whiteheads extracted and then reintroduce your Tretinoin, but only use it 2-3 times per week. Alternatively, you could consider using a Salicylic Acid Toner or Serum in the following manner: PM: - CeraVe Cream to Foam Cleanser - Salicylic Acid Toner or Serum - leave it on for about 15-20min - Rinse with water - follow with your Essence

Well, you could follow the routine I shared in this video. But overall, the products you are using are still suitable. You may just need to adjust your cleanser to a foaming cleanser, and if you're not already using one, consider using a gel moisturizer like the ones I shared in the video.
