Hey...Melissa...loved ur videos they are so informative...needed your help... actually I m having acne and many post acne scars..what should be the best to get rid of scars
The best treatment for dark spots would be a retinol or retinoid, or simply giving it more time, as some spots can be very stubborn and take weeks or even months to heal. During this time, it's important to wear sunscreen if you are exposed to the sun to prevent the dark spots from darkening again or slowing down the healing process.
Can i use an exfloliating toner(2% SA) followed by niacinimide, followed by effaclar duo+ (SA) twice a day? Or should i just use niacinimide and moisturizer in the day and in the night use SA toner followed by moisturizer and effaclar duo+?
Hey! :) I wouldn't use the SA toner and Effaclar Duo in the same routine. Use either one of them, or use them at different times or on alternate days. It really depends on what your skin tolerates. So, you need to test it. Start with one of them, and if needed, add the other one and adjust accordingly.

Hi melissa, Im 17 years old and I'm new to skin care I often use to just cleanse my face with SA based cleanser and nothing else Im going to buy the ordinary 10%niacinamide + zinc serum and the ordinary's moisturizer So can I use this in an orderly manner everyday and at what time?My acne is not active now just a bit on forehead and cheeks Also I want a good eye cream for dark circles due to school and sunscreen can you suggest me please? I also have hyperpigmentation and acne scars please suggest me some products on it too Thankyou! New subscriber ❤
Yes, you can, and a simple routine could look like this: AM: Cleanse your face. Pat dry. (Optional) Apply the multi-peptide eye serum. Apply a niacinamide serum. Apply sunscreen (such as Good Molecules Mineral SPF 30 or Niod Survival 30). PM: Cleanse your face. Pat dry. (Optional) Apply The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet does the ordinary' moisturizer consist of beta glucan I'm very much confused 😐I though beta glucan must be in some other product so I thought of asking which one shall I go with😅I'm still confused though sorry
hey melisa ive already used SA serum for one month and for this month im too introducing niacinamide serum , so can i use niacinamide serum in the morning and SA serum before is it more beneficial ??
Use sunscreen only in the morning. If there is no sun, then you do not need sunscreen. AM Routine: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Apply sunscreen if you are heading outdoors. (If you are mostly inside or have very little sun exposure, it's not as important. Adjust this according to your day-to-day activities.) PM Routine: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Apply salicylic acid.

How about if I use paula’s choice salicylic acid exfoliant and want to use essense that has niacinamide later? Do I still have to wait 30 minutes or not? I read that after using paula’s choice exfoliant we don’t have to wait. But not sure if it apply to all products tho
Hey love! In your previous videos, you recommended using a toner first before moving to Paula’s Choice of 2% Salicylic acid but you have completely skipped that step of toner in this video. I have acne-prone plus oily skin so shall I use a toner before it or not?
Hey 😃 The purpose of this video was to show the waiting time in between; therefore, I did not include it. But a hydrating toner is not essential. You can use it if you feel the need, but you are OK to use the products individually, so just pick the one you really want to use 😃

Yes, you can :) And you can layer in any order.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much. One for thing for sensitive skin can I use the ordinary glycolic toner once a week or twice a week.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet by the way thanks for taking the time to answer your videos are the most helpful I am new to this type of skin care.
@@GlamMetalBeauty If you have sensitive skin, you may not tolerate Glycolic Acid at all, so it is hard to tell. But if you choose to do it, I advise selecting a formulation that is not as aggressive as The Ordinary Glycolic Acid and/or a lower %.
