[@letsmakesomelsd]

the video was so straight forward and informative. i have oily and break out prone skin. My biggest concerns about my skin is my pores, blackheads and little bumps and some dark acne scars. I just decide to change my skin care routine and have constant one so i purchased the ordinary 30% aha solution as my first chemical exfoliation product. I currently use boscia detoxifying black cleanser. I also bought iunik tea tree relief serum and iunik centella calming gel cream as a moisturizer. I bought la roche posay anthelios spf 50+ dry touch anti shine sunscreen. So my question is that is it fine to apply iunik tea tree relief serum and then the iunik centella calming gel cream after this peeling solution? The serum includes tea tree oil, centella asiatica leaf water, 2% niacinamide. I heard that sometimes acids and niacinamide can react with each other. And is there any product you suggested for my routine such as toner, any other cleanser, mask, ingredient, or treatment products that can help with my skin?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey :) Thank you! :) I recommend only adding your moisturiser after the Peeling Solution because Tea Tree can be drying and it may be a bit irritating when using it after such a strong exfoliating acid mask. To answer your question about Niacinamide and exfoliating acids, have a look at this video here: Can I use Niacinamide with AHA or BHA (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Salicylic Acid): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqiUmop8lK2XpM0 Also, have a look at those videos: How To Use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution | Full & In-Depth Demonstration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYS8YaOPmN5rgbs Skin Care Routine Order Morning and Night: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYvVXmOuj9Zpi6c My husband has oily skin and he enjoys the combination of using Paula's Choice Vitamin C Serum and Azelaic Acid Booster. This combination keeps the oily at bay and even's out his skin tone. So, you could use your Serum and Moisturiser + SPF in the AM and Paula's Choice Vitamin C Serum and Azelaic Acid Booster in the PM. Also, when using the Peeling Solution, just follow with your moisturiser. If you have oily skin, using a moisturiser is not necessary, try skipping it as well so that you can see what works the best for you! :)

hi melissa. it's commendable that you respond to all the comments. tbh, i only ever used lotion on my face and body, and im new to all these skin care supplies. i've been watching all these yt videos the past couple of weeks and have ordered a few of the supplies. im confused about when (morning or night or certain days a week) and in what order i should apply all the serums/oils that i have (or maybe i shouldn't apply some?) -- there's so much and different info out there, making it confusing. can you please help me? I have vitamin c serum, retinol serum, hyaluronic acid serum, ordinary aha 30% + bha 2% peeling solution, argon oil, jojoba oil, vitamin c oil. im also thinking about purchasing either glycolic acid or salicylic acid -- which one would you recommend? i would really appreciate your feedback. thank you.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey😊 Well, what is your skin type and what are your skin concerns? Also, can you list the products by name and from what brand so that I can look them up and help you to set up a routine😅

[@nkaur5706]

​@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet hey, thanks for replying! my skin is on the dry side if i don't apply any moisturizer. i have a few old acne scares. i get a pimple here and there once in a while, but nothing major. i would like to minimize my pores. the vitamin c serum, retinol serum, hyaluronic acid serum are from tree of life (on amazon). the organic argon oil and organic jojoba oil is from cliganic. and the vitamin e oil is from bos essentials. and the ordinary aha 30% + bha 2% peeling solution. so far, i've used the ordinary peel once. and i use the oils to moisturize my face and body. i have yet to use any of the tree of life serums. also, my mom has hyper-pigmentation on her forehead and cheeks -- is there an acid or product that you recommend for that?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@nkaur5706 Hey😊 I had a look at your serums of tree of life and the good thing is they include Vitamin C derivatives which means that you can add the Ordinary Niacinamide Serum into your routine which targets large pores. If you prefer to use the Ordinary Niacinamide - that one can not be used with any form of Vitamin C (based on the conflict chart from the Ordinary) therefore I recommend the serum. So, the general rule of application is this: - Cleanser - Toner - Exfoliator - Serum - Oil - Moisturiser - SPF This is from the Ordinary: The general rule of thumb for 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). 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!! AM Routine: - Cleanse - Niacinamide - Vitamin C - (Optional) Oil - (Optional) Moisturiser PM Routine: - Cleanse - (Optional) Glycolic Or Lactic Acid - Hyaluronic Acid - Retinol - (Optional) Oil - (Optional) Moisturiser Or PM Routine: - Cleanse - Hyaluronic Acid - Retinol - (Optional) Mandelic Acid - (Optional) Oil - (Optional) Moisturiser PM 2 Routine (1-2 times per week): - Cleanse - Peeling Solution - Hyaluronic Acid - (Optional) Oil - (Optional) Moisturiser What oil you want to use it up to you! See what feels the best! I always write it as optional since this is personal preference and you have to try it😅 If you don’t like the oils, try it without it or replace it with a moisturizer…this is something you’ll notice while applying the products😊 You can choose between Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Mandelic Acid - they are all great - personally since I have a bit of a drier skin myself - I like Mandelic Acid a lot! Now when using Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid - those are water-based products which you apply after cleansing (or toning if you use one) but before the other serums. However, if you want to get Mandelic Acid - this is an anhydrous solution which you are going to use after your water-based products but before the oils! When using the Peeling solution please do not use Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid or Mandelic Acid that evening… Also for your acne scars/spots that are darker - I recommend Alpha Arbutin😊 Hope this helps! What kind of pigmentation does your mum have? Like an uneven tone or spots?

This is really helpful, thank you so much. I usually follow with micellar water, then niacinamide +zinc serum and a light moisturiser. I think I will now incorporate maybe some Argan oil, possibly some coconut oil? And ditching the micellar as its feels to drying. I did a thin AHA/BHA masque for the first time in a couple of months today, my skin feels much sorer than usual (which is expected, I guess as the peeling process has started). I'm concerned that the niacinamide+zinc is interacting?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey :) Thank you! You could add a toner to your routine as well such as the Paula's Choice Enriched Calming Toner (that's one I like a lot!) Or as you've mentioned, add an oil and skip the Micellar Water :) The oil you choose depends on your preference! I don't like heavy oils, and out of all the Ordinary oils I love the B-Oil the most and like to mix it with my moisturizer :) Did it burn or sting while you were using the mask? Niacinamide and AHA or BHA exfoliating acids can be used in the same routine without a problem :) Hope this helps :)

Hi Melissa! Can I use retinol in the same routine after i used the peel? Or should I not do both in the same day? For example: 1. Wash face 2. Peeling Mask 3. Hyaluronic Acid 4. Retinol 5. Niacimide 6. Moisturizer. I’m pretty new to skincare so I want to make sure I’m doing things right! Thank you!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@Mónica Mancía PM: (Once a week) 1. Wash face 2. Peeling Mask 3. Hyaluronic Acid (Water-Based Serum) 4. Niacinamide (Water-Based Serum) 5. Retinol (Anhydrous solution or emulsion) 6. Moisturizer (Cream) But since you are pretty new to skincare, I recommend not using them all at once, and it can be quite overwhelming for the skin.

Hello Melissa! Can you use toner before the peeling solution?. I was also wondering if i could use only the 100% plant-Derived Squalane after the peeling solution or the Squalane with the Cerave facial moisturizer with Nothing more added after. I know that you should use sunscreen after But i live in Sweden and its winter, is it compulsory to add sunscreen?. I am Really scared using this product. Sorry for My bad english and i Would be Happy if you replied.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hm, I was thinking about this recently. Technically it would help if you used the toner (hydrating and soothing toner) after the peel. But it can make sense to add it before as well to replenish the skin. However I never do that, so therefore I recommend using it after. Just be careful not to confuse it with an exfoliator ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4i4aKmsfLJse68) Yes, you should add hydration. I am not sure if the Squalane would be enough, so it may be best to combine it with your moisturizer. But ultimately, you need to test it to see how it feels on your skin. There is no need to be scared. You can watch the following video if you like(it contains a lot of information) : How to Apply The Ordinary 30% AHA + 2% BHA Peeling Solution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l53ckoN_lrJ_qZY I recently wanted to move to Sweden since your government has such a relaxed approach to the current situation.

I was told to get By a friend but have been too nervous to touch it lol. Also I’m not sure if you can give any advice on this, but someone was posting how you can use the glycolic acid toner or the lactic acid for hyperpigmentation on bikini area? Tysm in advance!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hello Erica, I think this is too much, and you are using too many acids; either go with the Peeling Solution that you use 1-2 times per week or Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid. Make sure to choose the right cleanser for your needs. Dry Skin = CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Oily Skin = CeraVe Foaming Cleanser AHA = Alpha Hydroxy Acids = Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid They both have similar benefits, and Lactic Acid is generally better tolerated, so I suggest using that one on your face. And using the Glycolic Acid on your body (if you want to, you can use it on these areas, but I do not do it as I am concerned about the amount of acid or generally ingredients that get absorbed in these sensitive areas, but lots of people seem to do it) And for Retinoid/Retinol I suggest using the lowest strength in the beginning, so that would be Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion (is the better formulation) or a Retinol (which is different from the retinoid) in 0,2%. But using the 5% may be unnecessary, and even when combined with your other ingredients (acids) can lead to irritation. AM: CeraVe Cleanser (or water, depends on your needs) Caffeine Solution Niacinamide + zinc SPF PM 1(3-4 times a week): CeraVe Cleanser Caffeine Solution Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion PM 2 (rest of the week) CeraVe Cleanser Lactic Acid (my suggestion) or Glycolic Acid Vitamin C Moisturizer Peeling Solution (not needed, or my suggestion is not using the acids for a few days and instead use the peel in the evening, maybe every two weeks or so, but you really need to adjust this to your needs, I can't help you much with it)

[@BlackLadyRockz]

if I use the peeling solution once a week, can I also use the lactic acid every other night or should I only use one at a time?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes you can use it every other night. However, 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.

Hey, No. Keep the Peeling Solution and Retinol in separate routines. I recommend using Retinol only when not using the Peeling Solution. So, let's say you are using the Peeling Solution every Sunday; you can use your Retinol throughout the week, except for Sunday. If you would use your Retinol after the Peeling Solution (which is a stronger exfoliating mask), this can lead to irritation/sensitivity. Also, I recommend watching this video here: How To Get Started With Retinol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKicg4Fje5msaq8

Hi! I suffer from dry skin, but also very red skin. My current routine is (the ordinary and CeraVe): AM -CeraVe SA Cleanser -Hyaluronic Acid -Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors PM -Squalene Cleanser -CeraVe SA Cleanser -Niacinamide and Zinc -Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors ONCE A WEEK -AHA & BHA Peeling Solution I was wanting to add the following to my routine: -Azelaic Acid Suspension -Glycolic Toning Solution -Alpha Arbutin Do you think these are safe to add to my routine? If so, where in the routine should I add them? Also currently looking for a face suncream if anyone has any recommendations. Thank you, loved the video! Open to anyones ideas!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Since when are you using those products? And how are they working for you so far? After you're done with your current routine, how does your skin feel? Hydrated or still dry? Do you have sensitive skin? And do you suffer from Rosacea? Also, since when do you experience red skin?

[@sarahglass3344]

Melissa Van Dijk I’ve been using for a couple weeks - really enjoying it so far, my skin texture is feeling much better but still has a long way to go. I’m not diagnosed with rosacea but have very red cheeks that I think it’s definitely a possibility! My skin feels hydrated after using these products but not greasy or oily at all - could still be more hydrated! I thought I had fairly sensitive skin but haven’t had any issues with the new routine so far, I’ve just always tended to go for more basic products. My main goals are to reduce redness and to get smoother skin - my face is fairly rough/bumpy and it really gets me down how it shows under foundation. Thanks for your reply!

[@sarahglass3344]

Melissa Van Dijk I didn’t see your last question sorry - I’ve had red skin since puberty! I’m now 22 so for the past 7 years or so!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

​@@sarahglass3344 Well, your skincare routine looks so far good. However, I recommend stop using the Peeling Solution, and I do not recommend using Glycolic Acid or any other type of AHA since this can make the skin-redness worse...which we don't want! Still, you can try Azelaic Acid for sure! Either the one from the Ordinary or Paula's Choice (the texture is different!). For your redness, you may want to try Antioxidants like EUK 134 from the Ordinary since it mentions that it targets redness. Why do you want to try out Alpha Arbutin? For what concerns?😊

[@sarahglass3344]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks for your response and advice! Will avoid the Glycolic acid - was worried about it but the skin texture/pore benefits appealed to me. Will also look into EUK 134 - Thanks! I wanted to try to Alpha Arbutin after seeing multiple people on youtube saying they've used it to help clear redness (i.e. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYake4Zniq2MiJY&ab_channel=GeorgePopovic).

Please do not do that. The peeling solution is a powerful peel that should be used cautiously. Combining them can lead to severe irritation. You can follow this guide: How To Use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution | Full & In-Depth Demonstration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYS8YaOPmN5rgbs

I’m new to skin care I have brought -Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%, -Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% -Lactic Acid 10% + HA 30ml -Salicylic Acid 2% Masque -AHA 30 % + BHA 2% Peeling Solution If anyone can help me with what order and when to use these during a week you would be a life saver ❤️

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I can help you. Here is the information you need: -Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%, (suspension) -Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (Water-Based Serum) -Lactic Acid 10% + HA 30ml (Water-Based Exfoliant) -Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (Mask Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaeQl2eqf6ajhNk) -AHA 30 % + BHA 2% Peeling Solution(Mask Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYS8YaOPmN5rgbs) The general rule of thumb for 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

Hello 😀 from Austria 🇦🇹 Well, I have had a bad experience with the Hydro Boost line, except the cleanser, but I haven’t used it regularly. Based on your concerns, an example routine could look like this: AM Cleanser Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (Moisturizer if needed) SPF PM (best option but the main product is not available) Cleanser Salicylic Acid 2% Solution (currently not available) Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 100% Plant-Derived Squalane PM1 (5 times a week) Cleanser Glycolic Acid 7% Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2% Borage Seed Oil PM2 (2times a week, for example, Monday and Thursday): AHA 30% + BHA 2% Borage Seed oil or 100% Plant-Derived Squalane Drugstore Sunscreen 🤔 I don't know sorry😞 I haven't tried many, and I am sticking with La Roche Posay Anthelios, it works great for me.

And I'm using an at home ipl hair removal device What's the safe time length to keep between the ordinary peeling solution and the at home ipl hair removal device PLEASE ANSWER.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

It is not recommended to use a whitening serum one day after using The Ordinary Peeling Solution. This is because the peeling solution can cause skin sensitivity and irritation, and using a whitening serum may further irritate the skin. Regarding the use of an at-home IPL hair removal device after using The Ordinary Peeling Solution, it is best to wait at least a week before using the device. This is because the peeling solution can cause the skin to become more sensitive and using an IPL device too soon after can increase the risk of skin irritation, redness, or burning.

[@pitchblack.nemesis]

No. Kiehl's concentrate is a treatment. Don't use any products that are used for 'treating' anything because the peel itself is a treatment that you just gave your skin. Keep it simple. Use hyaluronic acid serum and moisturizer that contains squalene or ceramide. If you tend to irritate your skin, use pure aloe vera gel or green tea gels. Read the ingredients and make sure it doesn't have fragrance or any other irritants. Don't over use anything. Drink water. Don't use any direct acid immediately after the peel. Few loves wearing vitamin C after peels because that makes them glow better but that is controversial because personally vit c after peel is too strong for me. So if you want to find whether your skin will love or hate it.. do a patch test first.
