Hi once again v informative video
Thank you :)
Good afternoon from California 💙
As usual plethora of clear and specific information with warnings. I love how responsible you are when suggesting a product! Melissa, quick question, what is the tinted sunscreen you're talking about here? I am currently looking for one, I don't use foundation and even most BB creams seem to be too heavy for me. It's pretty hard to find an almost sheer one. I use sunscreen on daily basis so tinted one would be ideal for me
Thank you! 😊
I was referring to NIOD Survival 20 or 30. It's a bit pricey, but it's an excellent sunscreen! 😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you ❤
Please Review - ogx coconut milk anti breakage serum .
Hi! Very informative, as always 😊 I think in one of your older videos it is said that you could mix it with vitamin C powder, am I wrong? Thanks
Hmm, I am unsure if I mentioned this in one of my videos, but The Ordinary does not specifically state that you cannot mix its Vitamin C powder with the Alpha Arbutin serum, so that could be an option. However, according to what I've read in this paper (Safety of Alpha-Arbutin and Beta-Arbutin in Cosmetic Products), directly mixing them may be problematic as it could convert the Alpha Arbutin into a different form. While this isn't necessarily a problem, it might be more irritating or cause side effects.
Therefore, I mentioned the need to wait a bit after applying exfoliating acids. This caution is because I'm not sure about the amount of acid people use, or if combining it could generally lead to problems, such as increased irritation.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you, probably my memory is playing tricks on me. I will keep them on separate routines.
hey melissa!
out of these products what would u recommend the best?: the ordinary glycolic acid toner, the ordinary alpha aburtin, lactic acid or niacinimide
which of these is best for hyperpigmentation and dark spots after acne. my dark spots do not go away! i have dark acne marks all over my face abs i want them all to fade but they never seem to go away.
i really want to brighten my skin and clear my acne.
i’ve recently starting using the panoxyl 4% wash for my acne and i haven’t seen a huge change and i’ve been using it for 3 weeks. i’ve stoped using the niacinimide serum bc of it as i fear it would dry out too much, but if you could let me know if it’s fine i’d like to adapt it back into my routine
i’ve also started using the paula’s choice aha + bha exfoliate. again, no major differences so far.
what’s the best products for my acne? i’ve got so many pimples and comadones. mainly dark sports after acne i want to clear!
i’ve also started using la roche posay effaclar duo + M which i think is new and i haven’t seen much about it so let me know!
thanks so so so much!!!!❤❤❤
Hmm, well, the best remedy is your natural skin healing process. Therefore, spots will take some time to fade, depending on genetics and the location of the area, which can sometimes take a few weeks or even months.
However, the issue is that they have been penetrating the deeper layers of the skin, which means that these topical products will not show any significant improvements. Therefore, you may need mechanical treatment, like laser therapy, to see a chance of improvement!
Regarding acne, it's mostly a matter of food intolerances, possibly inflammation resulting from it, along with hormonal imbalances, etc.
For me personally, it seems to be related to food additives or, generally speaking, processed foods, but it could also be healthy foods with additives. Making some changes to your diet and monitoring potential triggers is key! I manage it very well this way, only getting a few acne spots here and there, which seem to be random.
What has worked well for me for active acne is a benzoyl peroxide cleanser, which I apply to my active acne, and a light retinol that I apply 2-3, or sometimes 4, times a week in my evening skincare routine. I've avoided all kinds of moisturizer except for toners or hyaluronic acid serums.
I have such a routine here that you can try, but remember, lifestyle changes are also necessary. Additionally, if things are really severe, visiting a local doctor for an analysis might be a good step (assuming they are competent in your area, as I am aware that some are just terrible and not worth the title of doctor, merely treatment sales pitchers).

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so so much for you’re detailed response. you are a huge help. it’s truely amazing that you take time out of your day to respond to each persons needs. I really appreciate all you do!
Hey Melisa, how are you? I I had a question I am going to use copper peptides and I know there’s certain certain things you can’t use with copper peptides. Do you have a video on this?
Hey!
I'm good and you? :)
Yes, here: ua-cam.com/video/HMDHxpA7-X0/v-deo.htmlsi=qsuGp3OFOu2t0H4F
Is this routine ok for acne discolouration:
Morning: Cerave Blemish control Cleanser, The ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA, followed by a sunscreen.
Evening: Cerave blemish control cleaner, The ordinary retinol 0.5% In squalane ester.
Anything you would add or change?
I think using the Blemish Control Cleanser that often will be too much, as it's too drying. So, I would recommend alternating it with another hydrating gel-to-foam cleanser, something like the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser. Apart from that, it should be alright.
Hello! I have ask a question! Can we use alpha arbutin serum on our underarms? Or is it harmful?
Well you can, but I do not recommend doing that, because products can easily absorb there into the bloodstream which then can cause long term damage, so personally I do not use any skincare nor deodorant products there because of these concern.
Can I use alpha Albutin with naincinamide
Or with vitamin c?
Yes, but not Vitamin C with Niacinamide.
Can i use it in high temperature countries?
Yes, but you probably need to store it in your fridge.
I plan on using alpha arbutin with niacinamide but does it really matter what I should put on first? I heard that you can put whatever on first depending on your concern, but I am unsure
Well, we don't know for sure, but since both products are water-based and don't contain any heavy ingredients, it's likely not going to matter much. However, there's a saying that the first product applied to the skin absorbs the best. So, from that perspective, you should use the product that targets your most important concern first, or alternatively, you could alternate their use.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Always appreciated your responses, thank you so much!
❤
Can you use the Lactic Acid 10% in the evening and the Alpha Arbutin the next morning?
Yes
Please can I use it with vitamin c from la roche Posay ?
@@user-iu8hf1wu8i Yes
Hii Melisa. I have clog pores, acne nd taxure skin. I use salicylic acid serum twice a week. Should i use any chemical exfoliating toner?
If your skin tolerates it, and depending on what else you may be using, you can use your Salicylic Acid Exfoliant more frequently.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial which one will be best for beginner? The ordinary glycolic acid toner, pula choice 2% bha, or pixie beauty???
@@amatulrunu1443 They are all quite potent, and I do not tolerate them well. However, the best overall formulation includes The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner and Paula's Choice BHA. Although The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Solution 2%, the water-based version, is also fantastic and much more affordable than Paula's Choice BHA.
And remember: AHA = Glycolic, Lactic, and Mandelic Acid. BHA = Salicylic Acid.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i want something for glowing skin.
@@amatulrunu1443 You can achieve this temporarily when using an exfoliant (or mild scrub) and then follow with hydrating products afterward, such as a hydrating toner, essence, serum, and/or moisturizer. However, for your skin concerns, I wouldn't use a moisturizer.
Hi, could you please tell me if alpha arbutin 2% is safe for lactating moms?
It was never tested, so I recommend avoiding it.
Wie oft in der woche alpha arbutin 10% ?
Du kannst es täglich benutzen :)
All I wanted to ask was that during pregnancy Can Peeling Solution and Azelic Acid can do it
Generally, there is hardly any research about this, and what I would suggest is asking your local doctor. However, personally, I would refrain from using such products during pregnancy. I would be too worried about potential bloodstream absorption, which is not entirely clear to me for these ingredients!
Hi Melissa. I have discoloration uneven tone. Please suggest me a good sunscreen. I have acne prone oily skin. I am a student.
Have a look at Good Molecules Sheer Mineral SPF 30! 😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I am from Bangladesh. The sun rays is extremely heated here. Please suggest something with spf50 pa+++. I am going to try good molecules sunscreen indoors as u have suggested that one. Lots of love 💕
@@curly_jas What about Cetaphil, Nivea, La Roche Posay, or even CeraVe? If you choose a mineral-based one, make sure that it provides a tint or only a sheer white cast.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much for so many suggestions. It's a bliss to talk to you❤️❤️
What is the best retinol for acne scars ?
Is Cerave good ?
Are you referring to physical scars or discoloration?
As for physical scars, it's best to see a dermatologist. If it's discoloration, I really like Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream, Adapalene, or Geek & Gorgeous Retinal. You may also have luck with Alpha Arbutin or Niacinamide for brightening, or Azelaic Acid.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I’m referring to discolouration. What is the best way to use the good molecules gentle retinol cream? Should I use it every night?
@@elespecial775 Yeah, you can try Alpha Arbutin in the AM and GM Retinol Cream in the PM. It's a low strength, so you should be able to use it daily. If not, using it less often is fine too, as it depends on your skin's tolerance. 😊
can i use sheet masks and retinol on the same routine @melissavandjik
If it's a hydrating one, yes :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial aren't all sheet masks hydrating if incase i use a non hydrating one will it cause problem because i thought all sheet masks were hydrating
@@kiineybintitaaji2044 Yeah, I thought so too. However, I don't really use sheet masks, so I'm not sure if nowadays you can also find exfoliating acid sheet masks ;) Because that would be a problem :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial okay thnx
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial should i do the mask first than retinol or the opposite
