[@uraddiictOnx3]

Thank you for clarifying to use it on dry skin. I thought HA had to be used on wet skin so I was confused

[@SkinZoneTV]

Generally yes for hyaluronic acid, but exfoliating acids to be applied to dry skin :) x

[@sairazahid9675]

Dear how can we order ??

[@inoasf9075]

I also thought it would be better to use on damp skin because the product would absorb into the skin faster. This is why retinol can’t be used on damp skin because it may cause irritation and sun screen can’t be used on damp skin because it’s supposed to sit at the top of the skin. Idk, I’m still scared about using this on dry skin with HA present in the product because if there is no water on the skin, the HA will take the moisture already present in the skin and make it drier.

Thank you! This is very helpful. 🧡

So happy to hear!

[@ranasmith7053]

Hi, thank you very much for this brief but very informative video. I have a question though. Are we supposed to increase the frequency of using this product in time or do we need to stick to twice a week?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Stick to 2 x a week, no more than 3x that is plenty of exfoliation. You can start including a retinol/Vitamin A in your routine which you would use on alternative nights :)

[@Jack-er6wi]

If you use any other type of exfoliant, chem or physical, once a week is enough w this.

[@hajar5914]

I have (glycolic acide and niaciamid,Hyaluronique,lactic,Azelic and vitamin c and i don’t know how used this in routine correct ?? Can you help me?

[@zephyrine1448]

simple routine that i can suggest: morning: wash your face + on a damp skin use your hyaluronic acid serum wait for it to dry completely then use Vita C (wait for it to absorb) and follow by your sunscreen. night: wash your face, you can actually mix Niacinamide and azelaic acid, i use them together and MUAH masterpiece + moisturizer. so the morning routine it gonna stay the same all week long, for the night routine you gonna use it for 2 nights and on the 3rd you gonna exfoliate, using the glycolic acid, just wash your face, dry it, use Glycolic acid, and moisturizer. and that's it

[@puhamarius3119]

Can use Hyaluronique acid and lactic acid and Azelic in the same routin??

[@alishashaw6751]

You cannot mix azelaic acid..as it’ll irritate your skin so haarsh

[@zephyrine1448]

You can actually, Azelaic acid is known to be not very irritating, in the first 2 to 4 weeks of you first using it gonna give you a picking NOT BURNING sensation that goes away after about 5 min, and this goes away as you get used to the product. Azelaic acid and niacinamide are a goood duo, I use them together and they work really well for me ( M oily and acne prone btw, my acne is under control tho). And another fun fact, azelaic acid can be mixed with anything as long as you tolerate it, it's something (azelaic acid) that is made by Malassezia ( a yeast that lives on ALL HUMANS SKIN) and it is found in some wheat produce. so yeah the only caveat is that you gonna know your skin ease your way into the products, and listen to your skin.

[@yidapruneda719]

Can you use the hyaluronic before and then Lactic acid?

[@sofiakassim1725]

Start with lactic before then hyaluronic to lock in the moisture

[@lfdew]

Hi, is that right if i just use lactic acid in night time every twice a week and use niaciamide in other days?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Yes that is all fine :)

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

What are the reasons for not using niacinamide, retinol, or Vitamin C after/along with lactic acid?

[@zephyrine1448]

Irritation, I personally use glycolic & lactic acid with niacinamide and it doesn't cause me any problems, same for vitamin c and niacinamide. however I think you shouldn't mix vitamin C with tretinoin or retinols ( I could be wrong) but If my memory doesn't fail me It's better not to mix these 2.

[@dabaddestbarb]

I have the madelic acid Is it better or similar than this one? they have salicylic too like im so confused cna u make a video on mandelic

[@lisachen8765]

Hi, Thanks for the video But I have a question I just do my research some web saying it is advised to apply Niacinamide after using Lactic Acid to ensures the acid can work at exfoliating whilst niacinamide restores hydration back into the skin barrier. But some videos that I watched including you saying not to mix it with Niacinamide Which one is the right one ?

[@SkinZoneTV]

No niacinamide should not be applied after any exfoliating aha/bha this includes lactic acid :) The acid will work by itself - ensure you apply to a cleansed face but dry skin :) moisturiser after

[@syedafarah1300]

cam i use for darksports?

[@vesi_ravunikau]

Can I add hyaluronic acid after the chemical exfoliant ?

[@saidalhatimy9764]

It has hyaluronic acid already 0:03 but if you feel you want to add more you can

[@ComplexRoblox]

They say use it every evening

[@SkinZoneTV]

Yes, however exfoliating daily is way to much for the skin and especially if you also use retinol in your routine. 2 x per week is plenty for exfoliating unless you have acne. Over exfoliating causes issues to your skin’s acid mantle x

[@octopus4925]

Skincare brands are trying to sell a product so will generally lean towards recommending you use it more often than is actually needed.

[@gbadegesinolamidebimpe1446]

hello what products should i use to remove acne scars on cheeks?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Depending on the severity of your acne scars or if it's just hyperpigmentation left over. Acne scars are very deep within the skin, and will require advanced skin treatments like micro needling done by a professional. A good routine with Vitamin A can help, but most likely you will require a series of skin treatments to break down the scarring. Best to get a skin consult from a professional :)

[@nurjawhara4959]

Just once at night is best on your exfoliating day :)

[@betterdays3699]

Can it be used with retin a?

[@SkinZoneTV]

I would check with your doctor about what you can use alongside your prescription xx

[@flaneur8858]

Lactic acid should be used alone at night on clean and dry skin. Use moisturizer after it dries. Never use retina with lactic acid. But you can use retina on other nights. Both retina and lactic acid mildly exfoliate the skin. So use lactic acid once a week and retina 3 times a week. Too much products can damage your skin barrier..go slow and don't forget ur spf daily
