Ugh such a savior!!💖💖 I got this set as a gift and was absolutely CLUELESS on how to even use the products😂😂 but you helped me so much😊😊
You're welcome!
As usual very informative, although I have dry skin I can use your recommendations for my son or daughter in law Thank you very much, Melissa. And the video is really nicely done so I can see that you got your teleprompter reservations sorted out. Good job! ❤❤ ❤
Yes, it's not really meant for you, hehe. But it's actually a set, or let's say, products I really enjoy from The Ordinary. I just bought that one for the demonstration and because it has these little bottles inside. 😃
I reordered the teleprompter, as I had already sent one back. Luckily, it was through Amazon, so returning it was possible. It's helpful; now, for these 'how-to' demos, it's a great way to get used to the setup.
Thank you ❤️
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet My younger son lives in Toronto and swears by The Ordinary, as does his girlfriend. It's so inexpensive over there, probably because that's where it's made,compared to the prices here in Poland almost 50 percent cheaper
Your comment was again in the spam folder, lol. It seems UA-cam doesn't like you much, I guess. There was absolutely nothing suspicious about it.
Anyway, I think their products are still among the best out there, even though Estée Lauder took over. I just hope they don't mess with the existing line. As for pricing, it's generally about the same on their website for all regions once you adjust the price to your currency. However, often you can find good deals on websites here in Europe from larger retailers, making it less expensive.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Yes, they do have a problem with me! I don't know why, I'm always trying to be a good girl :(
@@onlyscience28 Hehe, maybe you are very naughty 🤪.
Hi Melissa!
I have been using this skin care routine for a while (nearly a year) and i’ve only seen small changes..
1. Cerave SA foaming cleanser
2. Niacinimide acid (the ordinary)
3. La roche posay effaclar duo plus
4. Cerave moisture (sometimes)
5. La roche posay anti shine sunscreen spf 50 (AM only)
i want to make my acne clear up over the summer holidays (i live in AUS) I have combination skin but very oily in T-zone areas. My main acne happens on my cheeks and my chin. I am a young teenager. I get whiteheads comodonal acne and cystic acne sometimes. I also get lots of dark spots after that stay for a long time.
I’ve thought about switching the cerave SA cleanser to the PanOxyl cleanser 10% as i think it’ll be more effective and clear my acne quickly. Also i’ve thought about using the ordinary peeling solution and glycolic toner.
Let me know of ways i can change my skincare routine so my skin will clear up better! i’ve had acne for 4 years!!! I really wanna get rid of my hyperpigmentation and pimples!
thanks so much ❤❤❤❤
Hello,
Well, making acne disappear isn't as easy as one might hope. As you can see, my forehead still isn't clear after all these years, and sometimes I get breakouts on my chin too. I think it's mainly due to the food we consume, possibly because of intolerances or the preservatives, sprays, and other additives it contains. It could also be related to hormonal changes at your age, but there are so many factors to consider that it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause!
However, regarding the cleanser, a 10% benzoyl peroxide concentration is way too strong. I would recommend opting for a gentler option, such as a 2.6% or 4% concentration, available from brands like Cetaphil or Panoxyl. Also, it's advisable to stay away from the peeling solutions and glycolic acid, especially if your acne is localized in certain areas.
I have a routine that has worked for me, which you can find right here: ua-cam.com/video/zq9w8rd8rd8/v-deo.html
The benzoyl peroxide step is the one that helps me the most, so I definitely recommend looking into that!
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, my 13 year old has been using the clear set for 2 weeks. Her skin is clear in the morning but by the time she gets in from school her skin is breaking out. Can she use
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% In the morning?
Hmm, I think that it might be too much for the skin to tolerate. How often does she use the SA solution? My initial advice would be to reduce the frequency of use and then observe how her skin reacts. Also, keep in mind that pimples are perfectly normal at that age; it's common to have a few now and then. 😉
However, if you decide to include it in her routine, I would suggest alternating the SA serum with the niacinamide every other day. This should be done in the evening skincare routine, before applying moisturizer, if she uses one!
Can i use moisturizer after applying the salicylic acid in night?
If it's really needed, yes.
Mam can I stop ordinary hair density serum? After stoping side effects ? Hair thining return, sheding?
Hmm, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Have you been using this product and now wish to stop? Also, did it improve the condition of your hair?
how often do you use it?
I recommend watching the video ;)
Do u wash your face with it?
With what?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet the serum and moisturizer
No, those aren't cleansers; those are leave-on products. :) I recommend watching the video to follow the application. :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet alright thanks because I just got the kit 2 days ago and was washing it
@@Basketballknower24 Only wash your face in the morning and evening (to remove the serum, moisturizer, sweat, etc.), and then follow with the serum and moisturizer.
Hi Melissa 😉
Hey!👋
Hi, Melissa :) Thank you for the informative content. I have a question: I’m 23, my skin type is combination/oily, and I have some dark spots in the area of my cheeks and uneven tone that occurred after the teen acne, and some regular breakouts from time to time as well. Currently, I am using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser and Avene Cleanance Mattifying Emulsion as a moisturizer. They work pretty well for me in many aspects and I think that the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser was extremely helpful. However, it occurs to me that something is not enough and I also want to change my moisturizer with something more hydrating. And I just want to make some changes in my evening skincare routine as well. Thus, I have ordered La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser, CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion and 3 The Ordinary products (Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner). I’m looking for your advice as I want to understand whether the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% will be too much along with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser and CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (as these two contain niacinamide in them as well) or that’ll be fine. And what do you think overall about the changing of my cleanser and moisturizer, is it an upgrade or downgrade? Thank you so much in advance :)
Hey! 😊
Use Niacinamide (you can also use it with CeraVe PM Lotion) in the AM and the Peeling Solution and Glycolic Acid in the PM - but not on the same days. See here: ua-cam.com/video/uDkmG9mInAs/v-deo.htmlsi=ZepFtkffT89Yhpnn
Hmmm, you may enjoy CeraVe's PM Lotion; however, they recently launched a gel which I think would be more suitable for you - if you can get it!
Thank you so much for your reply, Melissa :) And in your opinion is the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% too much to apply along with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser and CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion as these two contain niacinamide in them as well or that’ll be fine.
And could you tell me the name of the CeraVe moisturizing gel that you just mentioned? :)
@@arman5292 This shouldn't be a problem. If it is a concern, it's similar to the TO Niacinamide, which contains 10%. CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel.
Thank you for your time and attention, dear Melissa!
Hi! I have the set, and I think a use it right, but my face feels dry in the evening even after the moisturizer. I want to ask, if I can use oil-based product after the clear set, as it is very uncomfortable for me to go to sleep with “dry” skin.
(also, I used to use only ecological, oil based products, and it all seems “artificial” in some kind of way,… so I want to ask if the clear set like this and nothing more is really “all it is needed”.)
Thanks a lot for the video and hopefuĺly response! :)
how often should i do it?
I recommend watching the video :)
will this help with hyperpigmentation
What kind of pigmentation do you have? Dark spots from previous acne, sun spots, freckles, melasma, sun-damaged skin, etc.? Also, how old are they?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet dark spots from previous acne, i would say they're like 2 months old
You may have a chance with Beauty of Joseon AHA+BHA Toner and an Alpha Arbutin serum.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you, will try that.
Hello!! Loved the video!
I have one question. Can i combine The Clear Set with The Most Loved Set?
Keep up with the amazing work! Lots of love!! :^)
Yes :)
Hi Melissa! I have a question is the clear set suppose to dry out your skin because ever time i use the salicylic acid after the cleansing it dries my skin and when I go in with the moisturizing it dries it out more. Should I stop using this set? Or do I just need to add another moisturizer?
Hey! :)
What's your skin type?
Hm... no, I mean, Salicylic Acid can make the skin drier. If that happens, combine it with a moisturizer and/or use it less often. However, do you pat the skin dry after cleansing? If not, I recommend doing so. Also, how much serum do you use, and do you let it absorb into the skin? Does it feel 'dry' only in the beginning, or does it last throughout the entire day/night?
How many times can i use that serum per week if m beginner
Which serum? The Salicylic Acid (SA) one? It's detailed in the PowerPoint presentation.
melissavandijk.docdroid.com/YiGMq3o/how-to-use-the-ordinary-clear-set-pptx#page=3
"Salicylic Acid Frequency: Start with 2-3 applications per week. If this suits your skin and you're satisfied with the results, maintain this routine. If not, increase to every other day, and eventually to daily if tolerated.
The frequency depends on your personal skin tolerance, needs and what else you may be using during the week, which can change over time, so it's crucial to continuously adjust it to meet your skin's evolving needs."
Is this now known as "The Acne Set"? And also my acne bumps/pimples disappeared before I got this but left darkened marks. Will this set help with this? 😢 Think it's called post inflamatory hyperpigmentation.
Hey! :)
Yes, you may still benefit from using the TO Salicylic Acid serum. In general, the skin needs time to heal. Niacinamide and/or Azelaic Acid may help as well.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the skincare tips. I would like to request a couple of your suggestions. I have a dark spot on my cheek and blackheads on my nose. Can I use The Ordinary's Clear set daily? I've used salicylic acid from another brand before without any issues.
If your skin tolerates it, yes :) You may also want to add Alpha Arbutin for your dark spots.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank u for ur reply 😍😍
Melissa how do I balance this set with the ordinary vitamin c serum
What Vitamin C serum do you have?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Roushun for now, I want to change it to The ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution
I use Roushun vitamin c for now, but planning to change it to The ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution
@@nanayawzion6182 Use the Vitamin C serum in your AM routine and SA in the PM.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet please whats SA?
💖✨
Hi I have oily skin with closed comedones and blackheads can I use this set and if I do is this going to help me with the type of acne I have?
Continue with this amazing work!❤
Hey! :)
Yes, it may help to reduce them.
However, keep in mind that if you struggle with acne/blackheads to also investigate into the root causes of it, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, spices, milk, bread (wheat/gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
Thank you so much!!❤
I believe it’s just from my oily skin and also my genetics
I am going to buy this and I hope this helps🤞🏻
Okay, but I just want to mention that your diet-what you eat and drink daily-can have a huge impact on your health and skin! :)
I want to ask sth else if I use it in how many days do you think they will be gone?
@@Katerina-10-k As for the Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Serum, it depends on your skin's tolerance and how stubborn the issues may be. You can use it daily if your skin can handle it, or less often if needed. Alternatively, you could have them extracted by a dermatologist or beautician.
Hi! Which is more effective the daiy set or clear set?
The Ordinary Clear Set targets blemish-prone skin through a three-step routine designed to cleanse, nourish, and visibly clarify the complexion.
In contrast, The Ordinary Daily Set emphasizes hydration, offering a regimen focused on cleansing, moisturizing, and maintaining the skin's moisture barrier.

I just wanna before i strat this product it is the best than cerave set ?
@@anitaalla7809 What does the CeraVe set include?
Hoping you can answer, I have red/big spots on my forehead and nose I have small blackheads, I even have some spots on there, and it’s oily/ I have an oily chin, my cheeks are normal, my back until my upper legs are all spotty.
I’ve brought it 1 day ago, and I am really hoping it can save me, I’ve used so many skincare products and I’ve wasted about £144.12
I don’t know what my skin type is, but I think it’s dry, my skin is smooth but all I want is the spots gone and removed (along with my blackheads and others).
I’m hoping you can see this message! if you have, please reply ❤
Hey! 😊
If some areas of your face are oily while others are normal, you likely have combination skin - similar to mine. Although my chin doesn't get that oily compared to my forehead and nose.
Anyway, is that red spot on your forehead a pimple? If yes, Salicylic Acid could help reduce it - if your skin tolerates it well. As for your blackheads/dark dots, I find that it works best to extract them with a blackhead remover tool and then maintain it with your skincare routine.
What kind of spots do you get on your back to the upper legs?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank for answering, the spots on my upper legs are like normal ones, I keep scratching them which makes them worse, there red but they heal back and take a long take, the back ones aren’t going away.
@@adamsalll Are those pimples? If yes, you could try a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser. Or do you experience dryness and itching? In that case, you may want to look into a moisturizer or body lotion. If it's neither, I recommend seeing a doctor.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you! And when should I use the clear set? And how many times? (Can you tell me in 24 hour time?)
You can use the clear set for your face as demonstrated in the video and use a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser for your body while you're in the shower.@@adamsalll

Hello, I love the ordinary but I feel I'm doing something wrong. It has made my skin look nice but it hasn't don't much for my breakouts. I'm currently using
AM
1-Cerave normal-dry skin cleanser or the ordinary glucoside foam cleanser
2-Amino acid+B5
3-Niacinamide
4-beta glucan moisturizer
5-azelaic acid
6-sun screen
After work
1-same cleansers as am routine
2-multi peptide+HA
3- beta glucan or NMF-HA
PM
1-same cleansers
2-amino acid+B5
3-salicylic acid serum
4-niacinamide
5- beta glucan or NMF-HA
PM2 once a week (tried 2x a week and my face broke out crazy)
1-same cleansers
2-salicylic mask
3-amino acid+B5
4-Niacinamide
5-beta glucan or NMF-HA
My PM schedule i alternate. During work I dab my face with a wet cloth due to the sweat. AM I cleaning too much or using product incorrectly. I think the ordinary had recommended this routine. These breakout are pimples but no white head to them and they have pain to them. Would you recommend using certain products in different order? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Indeed, what's really missing from their product line is a low-strength benzoyl peroxide cleanser, around 3-4%, to effectively target fresh breakouts. It seems you're making an effort, but these products may not be very effective in quickly eliminating new breakouts.
Regarding the CeraVe cleanser, it might not be the best choice. Consider switching to The Ordinary or something gentle like the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser. Also, adding a benzoyl peroxide cleanser to your routine, such as the new one from Cetaphil or the 4% PanOxyl, could be beneficial.
I also think your current routine might be too much.
Here’s a simplified routine:
AM
Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser or The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser
Beta Glucan Moisturizer
Sunscreen
After Work
Cleanse with one of the recommended cleansers and leave it at that
PM
Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser (as demonstrated in this video ua-cam.com/video/jG93TiO4n_s/v-deo.html , ideally in the shower before bed)
Amino Acid + B5
Beta Glucan or NMF-HA Moisturizer
Then, once a week, simply skip all the products except your cleanser to prevent over-treatment.
Using the mask, niacinamide, and azelaic acid is just too much. You could consider rotating them in the evening, but I still think that ultimately it's excessive and not necessary. This combination could potentially damage the skin barrier over time.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I figured, thank you for the suggestion and feedback. I guess that's why I sweat a little when putting some products on. The saying "less is more" is definitely true. You could also say "simple with no pimples". I appreciate you. 🙏
@@davidhess3320 Yes, it's just that when layering so many products, they sit on the skin's surface. From my experience, this causes issues. Using 1-2 serums is okay, but more than that is simply too much, especially when also using toner, essence, moisturizer, or sunscreen.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i appreciate you and the time you take to help us all! Enjoy your day
@@davidhess3320 same goes for you
