Hey Melissa! Just wanted to say that your content has helped me learn so much about my skin and has played a huge role in placing an importance of how I formulate a routine of my own! In relation to this video, would you recommend mixing the CosRx retinoid cream with a moisturizer in the event my skin is too reactive with it? I currently use CeraVe's moisturizing cream as my last step. Any and all advice is appreciated!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I wouldn't mix them, as it only contains 0.1%. I also suggest using that Retinol cream on its own, without layering a moisturizer on top. You can still use your moisturizer during the daytime (if needed) instead. 😊

[@JD97622]

Hi Melissa, in which order would you use these products, fyi I use The Niacinamide 15 in the morning and The vitamin C 23 at night but here are my products I use if u can give me the best steps I would appreciate it thank you 1 snail mucin cleaners 2 aga/bca clarifying treatment toner 3 Galactomyces 95 tone balancing essence 4 The Niacinamide 15 in the morning/vitamin c 23 at night 5 advanced snail mucin 96 power essence 6 advanced snail mucin 92 all in one cream. Those are my steps should I be doing it differently???? What should be the steps you would use these products???

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! :) I recommend just using one essence and use it before applying your serum(s). Alternatively use one essence in the AM and the other one in the PM. See here: kzbin.infoRGqwdAuPOco?si=denHk1ygE1LDvAKK

Hi dear, live ur videos. Is it okay to use any antioxidants toner or serum before using any retinol products? Or do antioxidants only need to be used in morning skincare? As retinol needs to be used on dry skin, if I use any toner before retinol, will it affect my skin?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! :) Well, it depends on the product :) What do you want to use?

[@tasfia5769]

I want to use a hydrating toner and beauty of joseon calming serum before using this retinol. Is these combo acceptable? Can you plz kindly thoroughly rply my previous comment que? Tnx.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@tasfia5769 Yes, that's fine. No, all that matters is that you pat off the excess water drops from the skin surface after cleansing, then layer your skincare products, making sure that each product has enough time to absorb into the skin - that's it.

[@tasfia5769]

I am 23 & have never used any retinol products before. Below are 3 products, among which I should start my beginner retinol journey? 1. Cosrx 0.1% retinol cream 2. The Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum 3. Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1%

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@tasfia5769 I prefer Beauty of Joseon Eye Serum (which you can use on your face as well), Good Molecules Retinol Cream (love that one), and Differin Gel, but I would also add The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion.

[@Seiyakou]

Hello Melissa! I saw this video about how you use retinol for your skin care routine. To be honest when I hear retinol I am afraid of it. Months ago I used SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream and my skin under my eyes was burning like hell and the next day it was dry and stinging a lot. Since then I keep away from retinols and it made afraid to use retinol on my skin. However I really want my skin to get better. I have no acne ( I took an oral medication for 6 months and finished my treatment last January ) it help me a lot but now I just need to get rid of all of my acne marks and redness. Recently my skin feels dull, lines under the eyes (crows feet) and my skin is puffy ( not firm enough). I was recommended (not by professional) to use retinol. I am not sure if it helps my skin and if its the correct skin care product. I was told to use Torriden dive in low molecular hyaluronic acid and cosrx retinol 0.1cream together. I am not sure if this is even correct. should I avoid using these together, or? Please any advice is greatly appreciated! m(_ _)m

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! 😊 Yes, the skin around the eye and the eyelids is really thin and sensitive, which is why I recommend always being careful! Before I recommend anything, I need to know some things. Do you experience dark red or brown acne marks on the surface, or are they deeper in the skin and may even be physical acne scars (like dents)? What about your redness? Where does it come from? Is it from your oral medication? What skincare products have you been using ever since using that oral medication? Can you please list the products? In general, your skin needs some time to heal from the medication you took as well as the acne marks. This can take some time. I think it would be best to just wash your face with water, pat dry, and that's it. If you have a lot of sun exposure during the day, follow with sunscreen and/or if the acne marks are too intense, use a bit of makeup and then take it off in the evening with a mild cleanser. This way, your skin barrier has the time to rebalance itself.

Hi melissa ! Do CosRx pimple patch really works? I should pop my pimple first to apply it? 😊

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

From my experience, Salicylic Acid, Retinol or Adapalene or Benzoyl Peroxide work best for my acne :) Like this: How to use Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser and Differin Gel for Acne-Prone Skin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKaUiKJvhMRpm5I

Hi, Melissa! I've been using this same retinol for 2 months now but it seems like my skin is not getting better. In fact, my skin keeps having pimples after another. Is this a cause of concern?

I suggest figuring out the root cause, which could be stress, lack of sleep, or your diet. See here: www.youtube.com/@MelissaVanDijkOfficial/community

[@Surya555marlboro]

Me again Melissa, I started using TO buffet+ Copper peptide only 3 wks ago. Now, i have notices facial hair growth on my upper lips and just under my sideburns. They are really noticeable so much that I had to remove my upper lip hair. It bothers me a lot because i have darker hair. What should I do? Should i stop using it may be try to use something else instead of Copper peptide?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I don't think that peptide serums have anything to do with hair growth. I have been using these treatments for years and have never experienced any hair growth, and my husband also used them but he still has a bald head. However, the serums may make the hair on your upper lip more noticeable because they hydrate and plump the skin, making it appear more prominent compared to when the skin is dry and dehydrated.

[@Surya555marlboro]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i read on reviews that peptide helps with hair growth hence, TO came up with peptide lash/hair serum. I am so confused and not sure if I should continue this 😞

[@Surya555marlboro]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet also there was a girl who was using it on her partner’s beard to help regrow hair on the bald patches and she said it helped!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@Surya555marlboro Whether it's a new diet pill, a miracle skincare product, or the latest fitness gadget, people and companies frequently make exaggerated claims to promote their products. In these situations, it's essential to approach the claims with skepticism and thoroughly evaluate the evidence before making a purchase or trying the product. Moreover, it's important to note that online reviews are often manipulated or bought by the companies themselves, with an estimated 8 out of 10 reviews being potentially unreliable. Therefore, it's wise to take these reviews with a grain of salt.

Hi Melissa, I’m thinking of adding this product to my routine. My current PM routine is as follows. -Cerave foaming cleanser - skin1004 poremizing toner (2-3 times per week only) - cosrx snail mucin essence - AxisY dark spot glow serum - skin1004 hyalu-cica sleeping mask 1) Can I use the retinol in the same routine after dark spot glow serum ? 2) Or if I am to use only the cleanser, essence and then retinol is it okay to use this hyalu cica sleeping mask afterwards?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, this retinol is very gentle, so you can layer it with the other products you have. Moreover, using the cleanser, essence, and then retinol should present no issues. When it comes to layering a mask on top, you may find it uncomfortable. However, this is largely subjective. I would recommend testing different combinations to see what works best for you.

I started using these products recently in the exact order you're demonstrating, but I feel a strong burning sensation after applying the snail essence, and it reappears when I apply the retinol. I also got a pretty severe acne breakout after starting this routine. Does this mean my skin is purging, or am I having an allergic reaction to any of the products?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! 😊 What else do you use, for example, your cleanser? Do you apply the Snail Essence to dry or wet skin? How much do you use? Since when have you been using the Essence and Retinol, and have you been using them daily? What's your skin type, and what are your skin concerns? Do you have acne-prone skin?

Hi Melissa, i have been using my retinol serum after my sleeping mask, laneige sleeping mask. Its been doing my skin good. But i want to try using the cosrx snail cream as my night moisturiser. My question is, can i still use my retinol serum after my snail cream?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Well, you can, but it's preferable to ensure that the retinol is the first product to penetrate the skin for optimal effectiveness. Using other products (especially moisturiser) before the retinol may hinder its absorption, which is not desirable, especially with low-strength retinol. If you are using a 1% strength, it may be beneficial to reduce irritation initially and allow your skin more time to adjust, but even in that case, using a lower strength retinol would be better.
