Using Serums? Avoid these 5 common serum mistakes!

[@TayWoode]

One major thing Ive heard is people say it burns their skin. The reason is that serums like hyaluronic acid absorb 3000x their weight in water so if you put it in dry skin it sucks the moisture out of the deeper layers of skin. Put it on damp skin and if it dries very quickly spray your face with water, wait, do it again until it stops feeling tight and takes a while to dry. I had this problem until I read that dry climates will do this. I hope this helps anyone reading

[@vannaeldwijk7075]

I scored 5/5, no wonder as i have been following this subject for years. Consistency is key indeed.

[@ikipetienam-umoh7669]

I was doing this wrong.... Rubbing serum like moisturiser instead of patting. Thanks for informing me

[@azizanzakaria98]

Sunscreen : Wardah SPF 30 yellow Essence : Wardah Crystal Secret Alpha Arbutin Serum : Glad2glow Niacinamide Serum : Rurubery alpha arbutin Exfoliator : Skintific Peeling Solution

[@she-ra0622]

4/5 but I been trying baking soda once a week as a gentle exfoliate. Morning: water splash, vitamin c serum, spf moisturizer Night: double cleanse- oil cleanse eye makeup remover, dove soap bar, retinol serum, collagen moisturizer, castor oil on lips and eye area.

[@srilakshmianand8148]

I am glad I watched your video today. I have purchased the 1st set serums and after watching this, I shall follow as per your guidance.

[@emmapaterno8240]

I have hyperpigmintation dark spots on my face. CLEAN, TREAT, PROTECT Morning; *I wash my face using hydrating cleanser *Vitamin C with backuchiol *face moisturiser with spf30 *Sunscreen with zinc oxide spf50 or tinted sunscreen spf50 with titanium dioxide. *At night I wash my face with cleanser *Super serum niacimide *moisturiser night cream

[@bluemountain4468]

I have heard and read a lot of times that you should not exfoliate face skin daily. I do it once a week and use serum every day at night, but not every day in the morning, only when I am going to stay at home.

[@maureenameh491]

I use Vit C and Niacinamide and moisturizer Spf in the mornings and Vitamin C and vit c and retinol and moisturizer in the evening.

[@souvikpradhan2006]

5/5. I have acne pron skin, i use a face wash with salicylic acid then a niacinimide serum then moisturiser then sunscreen. At night include a under eye cream and Vaseline. I recently started to use to toner and iam about to include a Salycilic acid serum as well. My fav product is my niacinimide serum bcuz my skin got a lot better after using it.

[@souvikpradhan2006]

I just realized that i didn't have to comment abt my whole routine 🥲

[@mjnneka]

Your routine seems similar to mine as I just started out 😊

[@SrushtiKadam-b8y]

What's the order of products did u use

[@hanianoor5769]

is it necessary to use moisturiser after using serum at night?

[@jasreyes6601]

none, not knowledgeable about this, thanks for making this video, its really helpful

[@olisaumeano3497]

I use cerave acne control cleanser + the ordinary salicylic acid for oily acne filled face, hope this helps anyone

[@Milldirt]

I use both Vitamin C, Retinol and Niacinamide at night before bed and in the morning, I only use Hyaluronic acid serum. Both times, I am cleansing my face before applying serums, but since I wash my face in a cleansing face wash containing Salicylic acid in the morning, I do not want to add retinol after a salicylic wash and also, vitamin C (and also Retinol) makes the skin prone to sun damage during daytime. Vitamin C and Niacinamide enhances each other, so they are great to combine. Hence, I use all the vitamin serums (3 serums) at night and the hyaluronic acid serum for moisture in the morning after a salicylic face wash. The order is always Vitamin C first, then Retinol and then Niacinamide (the last to have the same consistency). Niacinamide applied last to calm down any potential irritation.

[@maybelletrogo6246]

I know retinol use only at night and 2 to 3x per week only. Im using also vitamin c and niacinamide in the morning

[@marvelloustoyosi6579]

Do you use retinol and vitamin c together?

[@gracedomasig7792]

Ng nkita ko to bngo ko skin routin ko hilamos tapos serum and moisturizer wala png isang buwan mlki ngbgo kuminis at mlambot mukha ko.low maintenance product lng pero npkalaki ng pgbbgo.thank you.

[@dutragal]

[@bcvlog08]

Nasobrahan naman saken susmio. Kaya pala walang pagbabago. Murad pa naman at body shop pagkamahal mahal. Il try ordinary since asa US na ako ubusin ko lang ang gamit ko sayang eh

[@carollsalato3189]

I use a combination of vitamin C serum with Niacinamide serum both morning and night.

[@mumoffour6860]

I got 4/5! AM: water cleanse + spf moisturiser PM: double cleanse + alpha arbutin + niacinamide + azalea acid + moisturiser. So I am using too many things in the evening!

[@mrsks5399]

I scored 0/5 and I'm so proud of myself because I'm a complete newbie (started my skincare routine less than 2 weeks ago). I use a mild salicylic acid wash, exfoliate with glycolic acid 5% every other day and only serum I use so far is vitamin C

[@WhyS0seriousSon]

Vitamin C serums are mostly BS cause they can't get in your skin so basically they are useless unless you put a good budget for expensive brands that have used special tech to improve their formula so it can enter your skin tissue and actually work.

[@deekshithagunti2562]

Don't forget sunscreen 🧴

[@khrisialynnmendoza3482]

I used 4 serum in 1 sitting but I glow so much! Hya, niacinamide, Vitamin C and Alpha arbutin..

[@deecawford]

I love it when videos I missed a year ago pop up from you. Thank you I love my serums because they simply feel nice

[@speppers7932]

I definitely commit the number one ☝🏽 mistake. I Will be starting accutane next week and will have to do better regarding consistency.

[@Anney18]

[@ArtemusBlue]

I use a serum for sensitive skin, it has prebiotics, hylauronic acid and rose water in it! I’m very new to the whole thing though, I’ve only used it twice and I’m not exactly sure what exactly it’s supposed to do, but anything that might help my skin is good, haha 😆 So far I’ve only committed the rubbing sin!

[@Skynfyx]

Yes. These ingredients is good.

[@Bumbblebeegiggles]

I have combi skin and i used bodyshop edelweiss serum and now using vitamin E serum.

[@irenesimon7484]

I use vitamin C, hyaluronic acid in the morning then moisturizer. In the evening I use hyaluronic acid every night then retinol every other day then moisturize. Once a week on the nights that I don’t use retinol I use lactic acid.

[@Heathurly]

Cos de baha lactic acid and cos de baha snail mucin is what I use. Anything from that brand is AMAZING. I get it on Amazon but haven't looked elsewhere. Their Vitamin C is amazing, too.

[@nandhinipalaniappan6050]

[@Skynfyx]

Use patting ya

[@msashleighdelaney]

Ah! I was wrong! 1/5 too! I also rubbed in the beginning of use, then learned the correct parting way. Damn. 1/5. I didn’t deserve that kitty pic after all. 😂

[@youmadhuh6375]

I use my serums 1st, then my tretinoin, hydroquinone, moisturizer.. I have about 4 different serums. I add them 1 at a time, wait 15 minutes and proceed with the other's.. I love serums.. my face look so moisturized after using them

[@CleofeDelacruz-e6m]

I have oily and acne prone skin. Morning routine is? Salicylic acid facial cleanser Naicinamaid serum by ordinary Cosrx moisturiser and Cosrx sunblock Night-time routine is? Salysilic acid cleanser Glycolic toner and cosrx snail mucin Is this the right way to use or I did it wrong? Hope u can response 🙂 I always watching ur vedios doctor Skynfyx❤

[@DIYbyJoan]

Niacinamide and bakuchiol every morning ❤ helped me with my acne.

[@msashleighdelaney]

O/5! I’ve made none of these mistakes so far! Thanks! I’m using niacid at the moment. My second bottle, I’m praying this stuff works!! I have all my hopes in this tiny little bottle. I guess I’m about 2-3 months in, I do notice a difference in the softness of my skin, for scarring I’m not quite sure yet, some improvement, but I’m not giving up yet, I see enough promise I want to keep going. Thanks for this video! I love kitties! And this was VERY helpful!

[@hergearaphyheart1373]

Thanks for your explanation. I used vitamin C, Alpha arbutin and hyaluronic acid serums every other day but my t-point is brighter than my face I don't apply the serum on my t point but is still brighter and I used olay collagen peptide as my face cream

[@josephinemendoza5285]

Hi Which one u apply first arbutin or snail mucin?Thank you

[@ahankarachatterjee9611]

1/5 . Sometimes I forget to be gentle and rub the serum too strongly on my face , which does cause a lot of it to just stay on my palms , having the opposite effect to what I'm trying to achieve.

[@whatsgood2451]

Glycolic Serum for L’Oreal Paris is the best I’ve been using so far

[@elviracampos5015]

Que porciento lo usa

[@remnant1018]

I’ve run the gamut of skin products and still have acne at age 41. I’ve had acne since I was 4. Everything makes my skin either more shiny, more broken out, or so dry it breaks and burns. In between trying things, I either just use water or I use African black soap without anything extra in it. Yes, I’ve tried organic, prescribed, and old school products too. I’ve always had body acne as well even on my legs and arms. It’s frustrating. The one time I saw clear skin, I stopped drinking coffee for a few months, slept on a clean towel, used African black soap (if I remember correctly), and used clove water in my hair. My skin was clear and smooth for maybe a week. Then I think it switched to oily like I’d washed it with butter. I’ve also noticed my skin seems to change personality when the seasons change from cold to hot. New thing, though: my body acne has significantly decreased. I started using Native body wash in baby powder scent. I just bought their sensitive skin cleanser and moisturizer and will order the serum soon to see if my face likes Native. It’s unfortunate if this line works because I don’t think anybody local carries the serum anymore. I’ve never tried a serum. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@chowmonica4838]

I’m using vitamin C plus hyaluronic acid in the morning and retinol plus hyaluronic acid and Cerave skin renewing night cream at night . By the way, I love to see the cat at the end of your video.

[@Skynfyx]

Yes. Definitely great

[@GingerPlease]

I love that CeraVe retinol serum!

[@topsykrettes1208]

4/5. I used the wrong exfoliant for my skin. I had combination skin and used Salicylic acid serum for it but now I just began Glycolic acid serum a week ago because my biggest concern is texture and hyperpigmentation. Unfortunately I can't find a good glycolic acid toner for now so let's see how my skin is with this serum, hopefully will find a good toner soon! Also I use Vitaminc and niacinamide serum in the morning and switch between glycolic acid serum and salicylic serum in the nightime followed by mixing my nightcream with a drop of hyaluronic acid when my skin feels dry or dehydrated

[@Skynfyx]

You can use vitamin C in the morning and niacinamide at night.

[@sirohiachal]

u can use ordinary glycolic acid toner for exfoliation if u r from india buy minimalist glycolic acid toner it's cheaper and do the same job

[@Maheenkhan-ef8we]

​@@Skynfyx i use tretinion and azalic acid then why i have irritated when put niacinamide serum ?

[@seenteefraser1036]

I’m using Niacinamide and vit C in the day. For the evening I used retinol and some time ascorbic acid. I score 4/5

[@matshadi1999]

Ascorbic acid and vit. C are the same in case you didn't know.

[@mh1073]

Hi. What toner should I use before a vitamin C serum? Thanks ❤

[@anshimishra9175]

I started last month and i actually scored full. I use only niacinamide serum in daytime and niacinamide+retinol at night. I was going to use vitamin c serum but in another shorts of this channel I got to know that I should not use vitamin c if I have acne problem and should go with niacinamide+salicylic acid instead. Turns out it really works for me. So right now i have the following routine and since I am new to the whole skin care routine please correct me if using wrong ingredients or order. Daytime: rose water toner + niacinamide serum + aloe Vera gel + sunscreen spf30 Nightime: rose water/salicylic acid (twice a week) + niacinamide serum + retinol + aloe Vera gel.

[@ayesharahman1528]

I use 2 serums. Serum 1 contains niacinamide + Retinol. Serum2 contains Hyaluronic acid + Vitamic C. I use them together. Is that okay?

[@winnybatra]

Doing all the steps correctly as you say 😊.Now a days using Alpha abutin serum

[@Skynfyx]

Great. Keep it up.

[@derezakoza4820]

I am 36. I use Vitamin C and Retinol regularly. But I'm not Sure. Should I use those Serums every day until the end If my life? Or does it make Sense to make a break of 3 months or Something Like that?

[@mariamallari7326]

Mine, I am seeing result for almost 2 months now when I started using it, I am using Salicylic acid, niacinamide and vit c, sunblock when going out and I can see good result, specially with my pimples, its gradually removed.

[@EM-ht7vu]

Hi..I am using this in order: Daytime - vit c, niacinimide, hyaluronic acid, sunscreen Nightime - niacinimide, retinol, hayaluronic acid (night cream) Is this correct. I can say my skin improved a lot. However, I am asking if I need to change something in order to maximize more of the result. TIA.

[@TrangHuynh-hz9vb]

1. Cleansing , 2 toner , 3 light serum, 4 cream ( moisturizer) .

[@hifzajunaid7106]

😅😅😅i was doing it all wrong. Not even scored 1😂😂😂. Just a normal girl making myself fit into skincare schedule.

[@samisingh3085]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@0675bunny]

me too, moisturizing cream first before serum..I did not know Serum should come first.

[@joshbonner9409]

I got 4/5. I exfoliate with glycolic acid regularly! Apply in the right order only use two

[@NitaLink81]

I thought u couldn't use retinol or vitamin c with glycolic acid?

[@jenniferjoines3980]

5/5. My a.m. serums are a vitamin C & niacinamide combo serum & then my SkinCeuticals C&E ferulic. I use retinol and hyaluronic acid serums in my p.m routine.

[@notcandance]

Mistake #3 for me! I will start patting instead. Morning Routine in order: Shiseido Softener Treatment (enriched), hyper! Hyper Even Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum, Glow Recipe Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops, Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist24 Day Emulsion SPF 18, Dr. Wu Hyalucomplex Extreme Hydrating Cream, then Shiseido Ultimune Eye Night Routine: Shiseido Softener Treatment (enriched), Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate III, Glow Recipe Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops, Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream, then Shiseido Ultimune Eye *Sometimes I use the Acnes Point Clear rollerball for acne I have dry skin and still get acne at times. Do you have a suggestion for affordable products with lactic acid? Tatcha and Shiseido are already $$$, but they've helped in the past! However, I've been using the Shiseido softener and Ultimune power infusing concentrate for the past 5-6 years and I feel that the Ultimune no longer makes my skin feel moisturized?

[@Skynfyx]

Can try out the ordinary or the inkey list.

[@arunavapaul1807]

When should we use the toner ? After serum or before serum ?

[@SadiaShakeel-sp5ms]

Good Night Sir , I use vitamin C serum with vitamin E and Ferulic acid in morning .In night retinol serum and anti-aging retinol cream (Eveline products made by Poland)

[@treasureojeamiren734]

Thanks Doc. I use Dr. Rachel face serum. 4/5. I'm not consistent

[@enieji9927]

Really? What do you like about it? I just started using mine and I am getting impatient with it because it feels like water on my skin.

[@GingerPlease]

I'm so proud of myself! I got a 5/5. I've gotten so much better at my skincare routine. 😊 I love my retinol serum with ceramides and hylauronic acid from cerave. One of the only retinols that doesn't severly bother my sensitive skin. I only use in evenings up to a few times a week and also never forget morning susnscren. I also love my vitamin c complex serum with vitamin e and hylauronic acid from naturium. Dont worry, I never use this at the same time as retinol. Also recently got a collagen peptide serum I'm trying out by inkey list. I'm liking it so far.

[@mahimayadav4537]

5/5 🎉 and I am using pure "kumkumadi tailum" by kamdhenu laboratories as my serum and I use Divya patanjali rose water as my toner .
