I love your videos, very helpful, your way to describe, how to use the product, is very detailed and good thank youuu for making these videos ♥️♥️

Glad it was helpful!🤗

[@CR-cv2ej]

I have found if there is still water droplets on my face surface when applying this, it becomes diluted and makes my skin dry and tight afterwards. So key is to get the correct dampness.

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Yes, there is a big confusion as to what damp skin actually is. "Damp skin is when the skin has absorbed some water but is dry to the touch. After washing your face, the skin remains damp for up to 30 minutes." (which you can find in leaflets such as tretinoin or 20% azelaic acid gels/creams) While recording these videos, I realized this: people ask me daily if these products need to be applied to damp skin. So I thought, why not say, " pat the skin damp and just do as I usually would do". Then I realized that people still did not understand that they should remove the water drops from the skin surface. So I changed it again in my newer videos and always tell people to do that to avoid this sticky or tight feeling and to avoid layering issues. But it is an ongoing battle since some famous individuals tell the opposite, and I always wonder if they even tried it.

[@Ellewolf20]

Your videos are always so helpful, thank you so much! I'm very undecided if I should buy this moisturizer and try it out or keep going with my la roche posay toleriane sensitive riche...

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

For me La Roche Posay Toleriane works best. I think that you need to test it to see which one you like most because that is very individual and mainly depends on your skin type and what you prefer on your skin surface 😉

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Well, CeraVe has an eye cream that has been tested around the eyes, whereas their moisturisers did not. - That's their claim. I also believe it's mainly an issue because it still can get into your eyes (depending on how much you use) and if it does not 'absorb' into the skin.

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

​@@hosanacutepie2875 what do you mean by that? Leaving it on overnight? 🤔 If so, yes, you do not have to wash it off, but you leave it on the skin until the next day.

[@hibaalamzaibkhan5334]

I heard that you should apply Cera Ve moisturiser on damp skin for more absorption. You applied it on dry skin, is that also okay?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Damp skin refers to when your skin has absorbed some water(while washing it) but has been dried off on the surface. It doesn't look much different on the surface alone than dry skin. And after washing your face, your skin remains damp for up to 30 minutes.

[@ammarzeeshan5572]

Hey! hopefully you’re doing well. And yours videos are always so helpful. I wanted to ask can i use “cera va moisturizing cream- normal to dry skin” on oily skin.. cuz one of my friends also have oily skin and uses this moisturizer and has no complain so i just wanted to make sure if its ok to use this for oily skin as well..

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Hello 🙂 Likely he did not have oily skin as otherwise, it would be too heavy; many people confuse oily skin with sweaty skin or are unaware of the differences. So it is too heavy for oily skin and too occlusive, so a lighter form without mineral oils works much better. I suggest using the CeraVe Ultra Light PM Lotion.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I did over exfoliating with products which aggrevated my acnes and made my skin condition much worse.

When did this happen? I recommend using no products at all for 1-2 weeks before starting again! What products were you using?

[@BOOOOHOOOO]

I recommend cera daily lotion as a moisturizer, anyone who says people with oily skin shouldn’t use a moisturizer doesn’t know what they are talking about. I have oily skin, acne prone and also had this problem with over exfoliating my skin. What i used and still use is. Cerave hydrating cleanser, cerave daily moisturizer. Keeping your face very hydrated is key for its health, trust me. For extra moisturization, i use cosrx snail mucin essence. Since you had problem with over exfoliation, avoid any face scrub that has large granules… use a fragrance free charcoal scrub or use ordinary latic acid 5% . Every product you use on your face should be fragrance and alcohol free, if not, you’ll worsen your skin. Please moisturize. And most importantly use sunscreen.❤️

This one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX6mdmeFjbF8las It's possible that you are sensitive to an ingredient in the moisturizer formulation.

@@myamya3365 okay, so that is weird; it should have a protective seal! Maybe ask the seller 🤔

[@myamya3365]

What's is the container size that you have been using?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

@@myamya3365 Do you use the cream container with a pump or the same as I have in the video? I bought the biggest jar (539g) which comes with a protective seal, however, this may not be the case if you got the one with a pump.

Hi can someone help me, I’m a guy so idk much about skincare. I have, Cleanser, Niacinamide, Lactic acid, and the cerave moisturizing cream, and the sunscreen. What do I apply first, someone tell me in order

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

There are multiple possibilities but one can look like this: AM: Cleanser Niacinamide (Optional Moisturizer) Sunscreen PM: Cleanser Lactic Acid (Start with 2-3 times a week and increase the frequency if needed and as tolerated over the following weeks..) Niacinamide Moisturizer Keep in mind that always choose the right products for your skin type and needs. It's especially important with the moisturizer and sunscreen as otherwise, it may feel heavy or greasy on the skin.

[@yomommaxo8655]

thanks, I only do skincare at night, and btw how often should I use the lactic acid? some ppl say 2-3 times a week only.

[@yomommaxo8655]

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Alsoo, I bought the lactic acid 10% which i didn’t know there was a 5% variant, and I’m new to lactic acid, would that be ok?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

​@@yomommaxo8655 Okay, you only need SPF during the day; cleanse your face and apply sunscreen. (Sunscreen guide: docdro.id/1IiwWWN) And keep going with the evening routine. And yes, as I wrote above and in my other comment, start with 2-3 times a week.

[@malshaabdulraheem7274]

I have to spend most of the time outdoors and as a hijabi, will it be ok after applying the moisturizer to wear hijab?

[@malshaabdulraheem7274]

or do I have to wait some time to wear hijab after applying?

You can apply it before or after. Whatever way works the best for you! :)
