How to use The Ordinary Lactic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid

[@fkaciggs]

I really love your format of getting straight into the information that I need in an easily digestible manner. Thank you for making your channel, I appreciate your work so much! The Ordinary's products are so great but knowing which combos are good and which can be ineffective or potentially irritating can be a bit confusing sometimes. Sending love from Australia!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey :) Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! This just made my day!🥰 Yes, knowing what the products can do for your skin and what can be a bit too much is important to know so that you'll have the best experience possible! I miss Australia so much! I used to study there (before Covid!) and now I'm back in Europe but I want to continue my studies in Australia. So, please open your borders haha😂

Oh dear, I didn't realize Lactic Acid shouldn't be prolonged usage. I've been using it every night along with my 1% Retinol in Squalane for the past five weeks, there is a definite improvement in my skin. I'll have to make changes to my routine. Thanks so much for the information.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey Heather. It is just because a lot of people are using those products for years or even months and never do a proper break in between or analyse their skin while doing so. There is nothing wrong with using it for a few months daily. I just wanted to be careful and mention it because I got that question very often, or sometimes people even use it when they don't need it at all 😞 That's why I included it :)

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

What exactly do you mean by "clean your face"? You should use a cleanser to cleanse your face, then you could follow up with a rose water toner or glycerin toner. After that, you could apply lactic acid and hyaluronic acid if needed.

Hi melissa, just to make sure if the ingredients of moisturiser have plant stem cells, tripeptide & any peptide we cannot use this Lactic Acid ?

The best you can do is to ask the brand if they can be used with exfoliating acids, as there are many peptides. But from my understanding, most of them are not an issue!

Melissa, a quick question. How many times can we use lactic acid in a week? Two, three, everyday? Thank you so much 🥰

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

This depends on your skin needs and skin tolerance. If you are new to it, I recommend using it like 2-3 times per week for a while and see how your skin responds to it, if everything went well, you may be able to use it more often during the week :)

I have never used a derma roller myself, so I'm not sure how exactly you would use it and if it is a good idea to do so since I'm using Lactic Acid in this video 😊 I guess that you would wash your face and then use the derma roller and then add your serums/oil and/or moisturiser afterwards. But I'm not sure how this would play out when using exfoliating acids.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey😊 Well, I'm glad that you like the kit! The Squalane Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid and the Moisturiser add mainly hydration to the skin. Those products do not help with acne and aren't acne treatments. To get your acne under control, you may want to look into acne treatments. Such as: Retinol, Benzoyl Peroxide, Zinc or Tea Tree Oil. Once you get an acne treatment, you'll be able to use it as a spot treatment, only where you have those pimples. I use this creme myself: www.beavit.at/kosmetik/haut-koerper/feuchtigkeitspflege/6749/pelcure-creme I found this website where you can get the creme as they also ship to Italy🙈.

What cleanser are you using? Generally, if you do not feel dryness or other irritation while doing this, it is fine to do so. However, it may not show off immediately, so when doing it, be careful and do not overdo it :)

Hi!!!...your videos are highly helpful...I do have a question...how to use both aha and bha in a skincare routine...I'm a beginner for Chemical exfoliants...can I alternate between lactic acid and salicylic or can I combine them both and how often should I use them

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

How often you should exfoliate depends on your skin type and skin concerns. Some people do well exfoliating with AHA or BHA twice a day, whereas others find that once a day or every other day is a perfect balance. Test to see what works best for your skin. It’s fine to use both types of exfoliants (AHA and BHA) as part of your skin care routine - you can use them at the same time, alternate days of usage, or use one in the morning and one at night, depending on your preference.

can I use the niacinamide within the same routine as hyaluronic and lactic acid ? because lactic acid pairs well with niacinamide and so does hyaluronic acid! so would it be advisable to layer the three together ? I would usually do this about 2-3 times a week

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey :) Yes, you can use them all in the same routine :) - Cleanse - Lactic Acid (every other day) - Hyaluronic Acid - Niacinamide - (Optional) Moisturizer Niacinamide can be used in conjunction with retinoids sunscreens, hydroxy acids, and other ingredients without concern for cross-reactivity. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells. Hope this helps :)

There are some moisturizing sunscreens. If not, it really depends on your skin. So not every skin type needs a moisturizer. If you have dry skin, you should do it, but it all depends on the sunscreen, from my experience. You need to find the right one! :) I like Nivea and La Roche Posay!

[@julianamanalang3329]

Hello! I just wanna ask what can u reco for my AM skincare routine? I have these TO products: - alpha arbutin - hyaluronic acid - niacinamide - lactic acid - NMF As much as possible, i wanna keep it simple and quick. Thank you!!! 🤗

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hello again :) Here is the information you need to figure it out 😀 - alpha arbutin = water-based serum - hyaluronic acid = water-based serum - niacinamide = water-based serum - lactic acid =water based serum, exfoliant (first after cleansing, if you do not have a soothing toner, but you do not have a toner..😉) - NMF = cream The general rule of thumb for the order of application is: 1. Water-based serums 2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations 3. Lotions & Creams & suspensions Important: If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing. It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration. About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck. Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing." Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!! Some products can have a foaming effect upon application depending on the other products you are using in your regimen. The foaming should not last longer than a few seconds and both should not remain sticky once absorbed into the skin. (Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGGXiGqohrtkiJI) "Pilling" (snakeskin, shedding) can occur due to too much product. Your skin can only absorb a certain amount of product, and any excess will be left on top of the skin so that when the next product is being applied, it rubs off. (Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opCmaHuqhJ1lbKM) If you wish to incorporate multiple Vitamin C's, Retinoids, and/or Direct Acids into your skincare regimen, it's suggested using them on alternate evenings and waiting until your skin has adjusted to one before introducing another. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% cannot be used alongside any pure or ethylated forms of Vitamin C. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% can only be used alongside Vitamin C derivatives: - Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% - Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F - Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10% How to Create a Skincare Routine With The Ordinary Products - A Beginners Guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp_KkJR3nJp1ZqM

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey :) Here are the general steps in a skincare routine: - Cleanse - Toner - Exfoliant - Serum(s) - Oil - Moisturiser - SPF (AM) And then it is also important to apply it from the thinnest to thickest texture... - Water-based serums - Anhydrous Solutions - Oil Formulations - Creams/Moisturiser - Suspensions - SPF Also, Lactic Acid increases hydrations as well, so you are fine to start with Lactic Acid and then add Hyaluronic Acid on top :)

Hyaluronic Acid adds hydration to the skin and it is a sugar which should not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells. Your AM and PM routine look good! The order of application is correct too! You can use a moisturiser in the PM after Niacinamide/Retinol but you don't have to and just move on to Azelaic acid.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hello, well it includes everything you need, but I cannot tell you if this will work since it is very individual and I do not have those issues. But the products you have, target your concerns. But it may be beneficial to use the Salicylic Acid more often and not use the Lactic Acid or maybe just every other day or alternate. It's tricky since you have dry skin 🤔 , So you have to figure this out and adjust it based on your skin needs. I put the products in the correct order for you.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I love the La Roche Posay Effaclar Micro-Peeling 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Cleanser, or the Skinceuticals LHA/ Blemish and Age Cleanser or if you are looking for one without acids... Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser, La Roche Posay Lipikar Shower Gel Cleanser, or (depending on your skin type) the Body Shop Tea Tree Cleanser, or Cleansers from Paula's Choice, love the one in the bright red bottle and blue (from the clear line) or the Ordinary Squalane Cleanser or the La Roche Posay Toleraine Dermo-Cleanser... There are so many cleansers haha😂

Since Lactic Acid can make your skin a bit more sensitive to the sun, it is recommended using it in the evening and follow it with an SPF during the day. However, you can use it in the morning but when being exposed to the sun, don't forget to protect your skin :)

I am not entirely sure about this. I only can tell you from my experience that it works best when taking a break for a few days to a week. Giving the skin enough time to regenerate, and after that, I usually use the product every other day until it gets better 🙂 , but I don't know what's best.

Hello! I have no real skin care issues other than a dry skin type. Everyone talks about using these acids etc but if I have no real concerns or texture, should I still be including one in my routine still? Or will a HA and Moisturizer be enough? I’m worried that not using these things will effect my skin in the future and I should be doing more at 26. Please help! ❤️❤️

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You can use an AHA like Lactic Acid or Glycolic Acid, increasing the hydration within your skin. But it may be enough just to use a moisturizer that's suitable for dry skin. I can recommend moisturizers from La Roche Posay and Paula's Choice. The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing factors isn't that suitable for dry skin. However, if you like to experiment, you can use it along with an oil to make it suitable ;)

Hey :) Yes, that's fine. I want to mention that Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar and not an exfoliant like Lactic Acid. So, you can use Hyaluronic Acid daily in the AM and/or PM. As for Lactic Acid, how often you can exfoliate your skin depends on your skin concerns and needs. Some people can exfoliate daily, whereas others prefer to use it every other day!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You may be able to use them together...some people can others can't use them together. This depends on your skin tolerance. You can try it and if it feels great - use them together otherwise use them at separate times/routines. Also, when using Lactic Acid for the first time, use it every other day in the beginning and see how your skin responds to it. If everything is fine and feels good, it can be applied daily.

Hi, thank you for your videos, they are really helpful. I have mature skin and started recently using lactic acid 3x a week. I already see good results but my doubt is when to make a pause from using it and how long should the pause be... Thank you again ❤️

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

If you only use it 2-3 times a week, you likely can use it ongoing. The main reason why people need a pause is that they overuse it; consequently, they need to stop it because they may over-exfoliate the skin (so used it too much and got irritation). However, if you need a break, stop using it for a few days/week and start again. You really need to adjust it for your needs.

Hi Melissa, I had lots of breakouts and i got aha bha and niacinamide after using it a month and i still have so many breakouts! im really so sad! :'( Could you say what's happening with my skin or should i add more ingredient

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You do not have any products that can help you with your breakouts. I mean technically the peeling solution may help you a bit and the Niacinamide may help with inflammation. But you need to use Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide to fight the bacteria. Or use a prescription retinoid. To get those products, it's best to have a look at your local pharmacy or maybe Paula's Choice, but it can be costly.

[@priivlogss]

Thanks for letting me know Melissa, i've decided to go on with paula's choice bha toner or does any other brands does the job and another question please let me kno if i could use lactic acid and salicylic acid toner together since i also have so many acne marks and does Niacinamide cause breakouts or purging

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@priivlogss Ok, when using the Paula's Choice BHA, you need to be patients to see some results...Benzoyl Peroxide works faster then BHA but it can help to reduce breakouts! You can try it with Niacinamide or have a look at the Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid. Using BHA and Niacinamide and/or Azelaic Acid together, can be very effective. I do not recommend using Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid in the same routine, but you may be able to use them on alternate days or just stick with Salicylic Acid. Please note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. Gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.

Also, I suggest not using the CeraVe SA moisturizer for bumpy and rough skin. It is too rich for the skin, causing it to break out or clogging pores.
