    Hello!!
    Can I alternate between salicylic acid 2% and this mandelic acid since they're both exfoliants. I’d use SA 2% one night a week and mandelic acid the other night the same week?

    Hi!
    I was wondering if I can use this mandelic acid with clindamycin? I use it twice a week, and I use clindamycin as daily as prescribed. If I can use it with the clinda, how do I layer and pair it

      Are you using clindamycin in the morning and evening? 🤔 But overall, this is so gentle that it should not cause any issues. But at the same time, it is not needed.

Then I apply rose water I put on a spray bottle (rose water is a natural toner and has multiple benefits), as a mosturizer I use the marine hyaluronics because of their watery texture and then if it's the day and I'm leaving the house (this is both am routine and pm) I apply 30spf on my face and neck.

    • @MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet
      @MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet  3 роки тому +1

      I am not sure what your question was, but Mandelic Acid does not physically peel your skin. It is an exfoliant, but it is very gentle, so technically you can experience some flaking because of the increased cell turnover, but it won't be that much, and it comes off when washing your face :)
      And you can use it in the evening before Ascorbic Acid 8%+Alpha Arbutin 2%.

      ​@@divahuda Do you still experience the same dark spots as you did two months ago? Because Mandelic Acid helps exfoliate the skin, it should aid in lightening them faster. Alternatively, you could add a low-strength Retinol, such as the one from Good Molecules, to your routine! 😊
      Do you feel the need to use both the toner and the essence, or is one of them sufficient for you? If one is enough, consider using just one of them, or use one in the morning and the other in the evening to simplify your routine! 😊

      1. I still experience those dark spot. Axis-Y serum didn't do anything for me. I was using mandelic acid before because I heard it is a better alternative for ebony dark women but because I didn't use it properly I got chemical burn and I had to stop to allow my skin to heal. But I want to educate myself properly before I start using it again but I am kind of scared that is why I asked for alternative that can deliver like Mandelic acid and will suitable for my skin colour.
      2. I don't feel the need to use my toner and essence at the same time since I don't have a dry skin so I will alternate like you suggested.

      ​@@divahuda Oh, okay! Over-the-counter exfoliating acids like Glycolic, Lactic, or Mandelic Acid can be used on any skin color due to their low strength. However, when getting a chemical peel by a professional, they tend to use much higher strengths, and this is where it may (or may not) become an issue.
      Okay, you can use Mandelic Acid in the evening after your hydrating toner or essence. Start with 2-3 times per week, and then increase the frequency if needed and tolerated!

By applying the the serum direct to your hand and then you rub your hands together, you wasting the serum and so by the time you put it on your face you are using the minimum amount of product.

    • @MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet
      @MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet  2 роки тому +1

      Hard to tell since there is no comparison available.
      Glycolic Acid shows likely quicker results but is more irritating. And therefore you can also use it less often. On the other hand, mandelic acid is gentle, and you can use it daily and likely for much longer.

      TO Peptides (Matrixyl and Argireline) should not be used with exfoliating acids.
      So, you would need to use Mandelic Acid and PC BHA in the AM after cleansing but alternate between them.
      Exfoliant Frequency: How often you use your AHA/BHA product will depend on your personal tolerance.
      Begin with 2-3 times per week in your evening skincare routine. Then, increase as skin builds tolerance to every other day or daily as needed (and if tolerated).

    • @MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet
      @MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet  3 роки тому

      That's misinformation. Hyaluronic Acid is saturated (in the formulation itself), meaning it has already absorbed all the water it can, so you do not need to worry about it. However, in this case, it's essential to use it on dry skin since it is an exfoliating acid which may irritate the skin when it's wet because of increased absorption.

      I haven't tried the combination yet, as I don't have it. But yes, there aren't any conflicts. I tried it with the Vitamin C Suspension in Silicon and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F, and there aren't any issues. But as I mentioned in my last video, always try a small area and see how it goes.
      Also, The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA will not physically peel your skin. This is a form of chemical exfoliator to be used as a treatment overnight. These are often described as peeling solutions.

      Technically, Mandelic Acid has larger molecules, and therefore it should be used after the other three products you have. However, there are also some benefits in using it right after cleanser, so that it can shed off the dead skin cells so that the products can penetrate better into the skin. So try it and see what works best for you.

      Since you are still getting used to your Retinol, I recommend alternating between Mandelic Acid and Retinol in your evening routine to reduce the likelihood of experiencing irritation.
      So:
      AM:
      - Cleanser
      - Niacinamide
      - (Optional) Moisturiser
      - Azelaic Acid (skip this step when not using it anymore)
      - SPF
      PM 1:
      - Cleanser
      - Niacinamide
      - Mandelic Acid
      - (Optional) Moisturiser
      PM 2:
      - Cleanser
      - Niacinamide
      - Retinol
      - (Optional) Moisturiser
      Advanced Routine:
      - Cleanser
      - Niacinamide
      - Mandelic Acid
      - Retinol
      - (Optional) Moisturiser

The only peeling that I have noticed is around my mouth and my cheeks don’t look anywhere near as glowy as I want them to. At the moment I do am: cleanser, caffeine eye cream, Niacinamide, sunscreen. PM: cleanser, caffeine eye cream, mandelic acid, retinol 0.2. My skin has adjusted and doesn’t burn or anything at all but it has hit a plateau.

      @@cameliakavousi1249 Hello Camelia,
      Yes, so what you now can do is use another AHA that has smaller molecules that penetrate the skin better to see a better result. Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid. Glycolic Acid is the strongest and will show fast results; however, from my experience, it can also easily irritate the skin if you overuse it. So the frequency is important. So that would be an option. Paula's Choice Daily Smoothing 5% AHA Treatment is a more gentle formulation. I wouldn't change the other products yet, since your skin needs to adjust to them. However, as the next step, you could go higher with the retinol or use a Retinoid such as Adapalene (Differin 0,1%). Just be careful with the frequency and do not use them together but on different days!
      For example, a great routine could look like this.
      Monday:
      PM:
      Cleanser
      Paula’s Choice Daily Smoothing 5% AHA Treatment or The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toning Solution (only use 2-3 times a week in the beginning!)
