[@jemm2196]

I actually plan on getting this sunscreen, glad you made a video on it.

[@SkintitaApril]

I love this sunscreen! Brightens my face instantly.. 💞

[@dr.744]

Is it suitable for combination skin?

Hi Melissa I have a question please. Where I can buy Cosrx Aloe soothing sun cream spf50 I mean the original one...Or what is the best alternative. Thank you ❤

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I buy it from Yesstyle! :)

[@homehomi4957]

My fave sunscreen! I love it so much

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

It's so good! 😀

[@SkintitaApril]

Hi Melissa! You might also want to try Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel spf50. It's also a great Korean sunscreen. Love your vids as always.. 😊❤️

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I bought some more Korean products, which I am currently testing. I also have the Hemish cleansing balm that you recommended a while ago. But I haven't tried it yet. And when I order next time, I will buy that one as well; thanks for the recommendation.

Hey! :) I've made a note about those sunscreen, thank you :)

[@youxiplay]

I have dry skin should I buy this product?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

It's great for all skin types. You can use a moisturizer beforehand if you still feel the need, or look into a cream (richer) sunscreen formulation.

[@youxiplay]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet but this product is costly😔

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@youxiplay So, look into a different sunscreen that's matching with your budget :)

[@amal1110]

Is it considered a tone up sunscreen like does it give a little bit of whitening effect on application? If not could you recommend me one

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

No, it has no white cast. If you are looking for sunscreen with a white cast, use The Ordinary sunscreen 🙂. If you want a natural, smooth-looking finish, go with NIOD Survival 30.

My skin type is combo , I am 14 year's old ,, do I need to start using chemical exfoliator ?? And can I start actives like niacinamide ( good molecules/ ordinary ) , vitamin c ( Jumiso / dear klairs ) both at the same time ?? Definitely love u so much and ur hard working content ,, the way u reply back to everyone's comment is just so adorable ,, would love to get a reply from u and thank u in advance

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! :) What are your skin concerns? I wouldn't recommend using many skincare products if you do not have any significant concerns because this can often create more problems than you actually had.

[@mohsin899]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet mm, actually my skin is sun damaged due to sun exposure / not applying sunscreen ,, sometimes I get acne also and right now I got a sandy skin texture in my lower cheek or whatever u call it ,,

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@mohsin899 So, I recommend applying SPF daily. Don't you think that you have dry skin? What do you currently use?

[@sergiocalvo8129]

Have you tried a sunscreen that doesnt runs down when you sweat or expose to hot weather?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I haven't been out in the sun for a long time 😂 Only for short intervals, and it's still dark when I do my workout. And when I lived in Australia (before Covid), I rarely used sunscreen and stayed in the shade as much as possible. I also had an office job there. And before that, I wasn't bothered about using any sunscreen, like most Europeans. So no 😕

[@spicylime415]

Hi awesome video! I have a question, I recently popped a pimple on my forehead but it’s left a bump that itsnt going down or turning into a white head. It’s not a huge bump but very very red. Any suggestions?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Just wait until it's gone :) No need to do anything about that. If it happens regularly you can use a blemish cream which you only apply on the spot, for example: How to use COSRX Centella Blemish Cream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppWrYX2mob2hhtk But again, no need to worry about one pimple :)

[@spicylime415]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much!

[@sufikhan982]

Hi, love your videos. I am 50 and I already use retinol 1.5% advanced number 7 serum twice a week, so what should I use at night daily? U suggested 0.2% retinoid of ordinary but since I am not a beginner, should I use it?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

The retinol 1.5% advanced number 7 serum contains only 0,3% pure retinol. So that is a bit stronger than the 0,2% from The Ordinary. And if you are only using it twice a week, you just can increase the frequency to every other day and then every day if needed and tolerated :)

I love all of your "how to" videos. You must spend a ton of money on skincare. ❤

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Sadly yes. The biggest issue is that I cannot use them all, and I have to throw a lot away after several months since they lose efficacy quickly. So I need to repurchase them for the demos, but anyway, as long as it helps people out there, I am happy to do that, still can stay independent. 😀 And thank you very much 🥰

Well, it depends on your personal skin tolerance; however, if it does, you either need to change it or use sunglasses with UV protection.

Hey i was wondering do you know what causes the red spots left and right to the nose like you have in this video? I have this too since a few months and i dont know what that is. Sometimes its really red and has very small "elevations" and sometimes its barely visible. Do you know what helps for this?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! :) I have had this for years, but I'm unsure what caused it. I know that some exfoliating acids, scrubs or, in general, more 'aggressive products' can make it much more noticeable and weather changes too! I sometimes get little bumps in that red area as well. I prefer to use hydrating/calming products in the area as it seems to calm it down.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@mohammadhanif1830 So, you've experienced acne even before using skincare products? Usually, Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide and/or Retinol/Retinoids like Differin Gel help to reduce acne. As long as you can not control what's causing your acne, those products help to reduce it. I like COSRX sunscreen a lot; however, to avoid any interaction with your hormones, mineral sunscreens are better. However, they most often leave a white-cast (unless you get a tinted one) which I don't like at all. So, COSRX sunscreen is great! :)
