Hiii so I've been watching alot of your videos and they're amazing & super informative. I tend to get a bit overwhelmed with information sometimes and there's just so many skincare products I dont even know what to use anymore. This is my skincare routine at the moment: AM: - Pacifica vegan ceramide cleanser - Pyunkang yul toner/essence - The ordinary Argireline solution 10% - Moisturizer - elta md broad spectrum SPF 46 PM: - Heimish all clean cleansing balm - Pacifica vegan ceramide cleanser - Pyunkang yul toner - The ordinary Niacinamide 10% & 1% zinc - Moisturizer - The ordinary retinol 0,5% in squalane (retinol only 2-3x a week on days when I dont use salicylic acid) 2-3x a week when I dont use retinol: - Heimish all clean cleansing balm - The inkey list Salicylic acid cleanser (I used to use this cleanser every evening but I felt like it was too much?) - Paulas choice 2% salicylic acid liquid exfoliant - Niacinamide (?) - Moisturizer I do have quite a few questions now 😅 1. Is niacinamide better in the morning or the evening? Since I have an spf with niacinamide in it, I thought it be better the use the niacinamide in the evening? 2. Can I use the niacinamide when I use the retinol 2-3x a week or should I leave the niacinamide out on those evenings, what is good to use with retinol? 2. I've also read its better to use argereline in the morning since the effects may dont last that long! 3. I have issues finding a good moisturizer, I always thought I had oily skin but I also feel like its dehydrated, usually only my forehead gets oily fast, sometimes my nose or the parts beside my nose so I guess it's combination skin?? I'm 26 and my main issues are very visible fine lines on my forehead, tiny bumps/textured skin on my forehead and I have some pimples here and there, What kind of moisturizer would you reccomend? 4. Should I use more hydrating serums? I just started including the Pyunkang yul toner since it seems to have a lot of good benefits and is hydrating.. on days when I use the salicylic acid products what kind of serums can I use with them or do I not need any? Sorry for all these questions haha

Hello 🙂 1. The question is how much Niacinamide does the skin really need to show improvements, so nobody really tested this; therefore, it could be 😉. 2. From my experience, retinol works best on its own, so not using any products in the same routine, even a moisturizer, is questionable unless you really experience dry skin or if the skin becomes dryer with continued use. But better would be to reduce the frequency of the retinol to only a few times a week. 3. Yes, it looks like they are only temporary, so it may be better to use them in the morning. Still, they may show long-term anti-aging benefits. 4. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel is great (available fragrance-free if needed), or one that I recently tested is G&G Hydration station which is one of the best formulations I have tried so far and very affordable. 5. Only if you feel the need; I mean, all of them contain hydrating ingredients already. So there is really no need to add more hydration or a moisturizer if you do not need it; skincare companies mainly do it to sell you additional serums/products you do not need. So it is primarily a sales pitch/marketing.

Hmm, ideally, you should avoid such foods entirely, if possible. That alone could resolve the issue. Are you using the cleanser that I featured in this video? What sunscreen are you using? Have you used any of these products before, or are they all new to you? If not, it might be a reaction to a particular product, or your skin might simply be overwhelmed! There are many possibilities. But if the situation is severe, it might be best to visit a dermatologist or doctor in your area for their professional opinion!

Hey! 😊 I recommend getting a gel-type moisturizer, like the new one from CeraVe or The Ordinary NMF + Beta Glucan. Also, how often you can use this cleanser and the gel depends on your skin tolerance. Therefore, I also recommend getting a regular cleanser like CeraVe Foaming Cleanser to alternate with the other cleanser when using the gel; otherwise, it might be too much.

Hey, i have a little question, would you recommend the cerave anti blemish cleanser or the la roche posay micro peeling gel? I don't know a lot but they seem to pretty much have the same ingredients but I don't know which one I should buy.

The gentle skin cleanser is for dry to normal skin. So it is not ideal for your skin type; that may already be the issue. So I suggest buying the Cetaphil Daily Facial cleanser, the CeraVe Foaming cleanser, or the La Roche Posay Effaclar cleanser. That should solve the problem. Use it in the morning and evening. And if you like, you can follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or G&G Hydration station.

Hi Melissa! I've found this video because tonight I was using this Cleanser and after noticed that my pores werent really that clean (still some black dots, nose with too much sebum, big pores, etc). I got very worried, I dont think Im using it wrong, but I just recently started using Retinal (0.03% tho) Do you think that could be the reason? I know the skin has to adapt to it first (using it every 3 days), but its not that red or dry either so Im not sure. Im scared to stop using my cleanser, thats the only one I have! What do you think I should do? Should I not use my cleanser the days I use retinal (at night). I have a Laroche Lipikar Baume lying around, maybe I could use that to cleanse. Feeling indecisive :(

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial

9 ай бұрын

Hey! 😊 The black dots on your nose are pretty normal, and I don't think that you can entirely get rid of them, as the skin (which is an organ) cleans, hydrates, and protects itself over and over again. Over time, your skin may produce less oil due to the cleanser and retinal you're using. Still, the fastest way to temporarily get rid of them is to extract them. It's best to use a non-exfoliating acid cleanser when using Retinol, like CeraVe Foaming Cleanser. In the AM, you can use the Blemish/Acne Control Cleanser. LRP Baume is way too rich. If you want to use something, consider using a hydrating serum or gel-based moisturizer instead.

Hi, I don't really understand what's the main difference between this one and the SA Smoothing Cleanser. I'm looking for a better cleanser to treat my blackheads and I can't decide between these two, any recommendations? Thank you

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial

This product contains 2% salicylic acid, but the specific amount of salicylic acid in the SA cleanser is unknown, although it's likely below 0.5%. If it were higher, it would need to be mentioned on the packaging according to regulations, I believe. Therefore, this cleanser would be more suitable. However, the most effective way to eliminate blackheads is by extracting them either by yourself or professionally (which is likely the best option, especially if you have a significant number of blackheads).

Hi Melissa. I recently got into skincare because my skin feels dry and has blemishes (little bumps, blackheads on the nose and some spots occasionally). I also get very dry small zones on my face sometimes which last pretty long. Overall, I would say my skin type is normal to dry. I prefer to have a single cleanser and moisturiser for both the morning and the evening. I used the hydrating cleanser with the moisturising lotion for two months. My skin feels less dry but the blemishes didn’t go away. Could I use the blemish control cleanser twice a day with the moisturising lotion or is it too much?

While we don't know the exact composition of these formulations, it's unfortunate that most companies still don't disclose this information. The best initial approach is to use the product on its own to see how your skin reacts. Based on that, you can adjust your routine accordingly. A good next step might be to incorporate an additional hydrating serum, such as one containing hyaluronic acid, to balance out any dryness-especially if you're planning to use this as your only cleanser. Alternatively, I would suggest using it in conjunction with a more hydrating option. For example, you could alternate between the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser and the blemish control cleanser for a more balanced skincare regimen.

Hey! :) You're likely reacting negatively to the AHA and maybe PHA as well that is in those products. Still, the overall formulation plays a big role as well. So, you do not have any problems with Salicylic Acid. Why didn’t you continue to use your Salicylic Acid Gel if that product has helped you? Or do you still use your 2% Salicylic Acid gel? If you still use the gel, there is no need to use another Salicylic Acid product. Just use a non-exfoliating acid cleanser to wash your face before applying the gel :)

Your gel doesn't just contain BP; it also contains Adapalene, right? If that's the case, I recommend using a non-SA cleanser, like CeraVe Foaming Cleanser. Use your SA cleanser + Niacinamide product + SPF in the AM and a regular cleanser + Epiduo Gel in the PM.

@@fflubble I just asked because the percentage is important, and since you have a 5% BP product, combining it with 2% SA might be too much for the skin. This could become too drying and ultimately lead to irritation. It would be better to combine the gel with the foaming cleanser and use the SA cleanser on its own, or possibly with a light hydrating toner or serum (such as hyaluronic acid). Alternatively, you could use a light gel moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or G&G Hydration Station. Choose something not too heavy.

(prescribed) I wish I could use stronger medicine like before (epiduo or erythromycin plus tretioin solution), but I'm on 3m. 🤰🏽 journey. There's nothing much I can use. I don't know if I should continue this product or just visit the dermatologist asap. This makes me feel a little bit frustrated. I had worse trauma with Differine 4 years ago. It went from 10 pimples to more than a 100 on my face. I was so brave because everybody told me it may get worse before it get better.

Okay, so the changes you're experiencing are likely due to hormonal imbalances and the drastically different food in Australia compared to your home country. This could definitely affect your skin for months or even years to come. I also lived in Australia for several years, and I noticed that people from Asia often tried to eat local food from their home countries, or went to places that sold such food. That is definitely something I would suggest. Overall, the most important thing you can do in Australia is to protect your skin with the highest SPF you can find and wear protective clothing whenever you can. If feasible, use umbrellas for sun protection as well. Of course, if you have an outdoor job, that might not be possible, but there are excellent sun protection cloths available. I'm not sure what they're called, but they can provide great protection against the sun. I would recommend a very simple routine: AM: Clean your face with a mild cleanser such as the low pH good morning gel cleanser. However, Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser or Cerave Foaming Cleanser might be better. Pat the skin dry. Apply your sunscreen (remember to reapply it when outside for several hours, after swimming, sweating, or when it has rubbed off). Ideally, use a mineral sunscreen from a reputable local brand. PM: Clean your face with one of the suggested cleansers. Pat the skin dry. Apply Paula's Choice BHA (every other day or daily if tolerated). Wait a couple of minutes. Apply a gel moisturizer like The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel. I would suggest not using other products, as you don't need them and overwhelming your skin can cause more issues.

I don't know of any good sunscreen brands specifically in Australia, but the best option is to ask for advice at the pharmacy regarding which one they would recommend. I believe a sunscreen gel might not be suitable for oily skin; instead, I would suggest opting for a fluid-like texture or a good lotion like mineral sunscreen. Regarding moisturizers, both The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel are light formulations that will feel very comfortable on your skin. As for a toner, it's not necessary, but you can use one if you like.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial upon research I think I have oily or combination skin so does that mean I should use a hydrating cleanser and stay away from moisturiser. If so would it be good to use cerave blemish control cleanser and then hydrating cleanser?

@@georgeedwards1171 What are your skin concerns? Do you have acne-prone skin? If yes, you can try CeraVe's Blemish Control (Acne Control) Cleanser. If not, just choose CeraVe's Foaming Cleanser and then follow with a hydrating toner or serum afterward, and that's it! :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Okay 👌 🙂

Hi, I’ve recently started using the blemish control cleanser. I use it in the morning and at night. In the morning I wash my face then apply the cerave moisturiser And in the night I wash my face again, then use Ordinary naicinamide 10% + zinc 1%, then use the acnecide gel 5% w/w gel and finally the cerave moisturiser lastly. However, my face is feeling dryer and some parts of my face has flaking skin. (I normally have oily skin too) Could I be using the cleanser too much or is it the other products I use? Thanks, and I hope my question wasn’t to difficult to answer 🙏🏻🙏🏻😅

Hey! :) Using multiple acne treatments in one routine can make the skin drier. Therefore you may want to change your routine to something like this: AM: - SA Cleanser - Niacinamide Serum - (Optional) Moisturizer - Sunscreen (if you're exposed to the sun) PM: - Non-Exfoliating Acid Cleanser like CeraVe Foaming Cleanser - Acnecide gel 5% - (Optional) Moisturizer This routine should balance out the dryness, however, if it still stays the same, I recommend using your SA cleanser and Acnecide gel 5% on alternate days or add an additional hydrating essence or serum to your routine! :) Also do you use your Acnecide gel 5% all over your face? If yes, I recommend just applying it on acne-prone areas and whenever you experience acne. This can reduce dryness and irritation significantly.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks I’ll try that and see if it works !! I only use the acnecide on acne prone areas like round my mouth and chin. But I mostly get pimples that are under my skin but I don’t know if that’s normal or not either?

​@@meganpovall-jones4888 For how long have you been using your Benzoyl Peroxide gel? Has it helped you in any way? If not, I recommend switching to Adapalene (like Differin Gel) and using that one instead of your Benzoyl Peroxide gel in the evening. It can bring this type of acne to the surface, but you have to be patient.

Well, currently it is, but when I test many products, I do experience breakouts. But also, acne is a complex condition, and so far, I have not been able to get rid of it entirely. So, keep in mind, we are working with treatments and not with a cure. They help us to improve our skin condition but do not get rid of it entirely.
