Short hair suits you so well! Thank you for this video, I couldn't find anyone else talking about these two products
Glad it was helpful!
Ive been trying to find a vid like this tho 😭 thank you so much 🙌🏻💖
Glad I could help!🙂
Thanks for this! I was just wondering if I could use these serums together & now I have the answer haha! Love from PH 🇵🇭
Omg thanks !! I was applying a lot that’s why was breaking out
You’re giving me Sinead O’Connor vibes, when she was younger of course. You might be to young to know her? A 90’s singer. She was stunning in her prime.
*very educational video. Good job!
Hello, Yes, I am. I just checked, and I don't know her since I was born 1995 😉 But thank you 😀
I was thinking the same thing! Especially with her soft, soothing voice as well!
Great video, very informative and helpful. Thank you!
I’m so glad I came across this! I’m just starting my research on how to use these products and this helped a lot!

Hope that it will help you 🙂
Ur way of explanation amazing n to the point thanx😊
You're really cute! Thanks for the tips, I rarely find proper instructions on how to use these products.
Hii Melissa, today I got the alpha arbutin product, u are such a good adviser. I follow ur skin care routines. Very simply described easily understandable. Love you THISURI 🇱🇰
Glad that I could help🥰
Greetings from Austria🇦🇹
Thanks for this video!! And all of them to be honest 😅 💓💓💓
Glad you like them!🥰
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet yeah you're amazing for this ♡ thank you and God bless you ♡♡
Thanks for the vid!! Ive been using niacinamide for almost a month now and just started on alpha arbutus. Now I know I've been using too much of both on my skin. Lol.
Did you routine work?
@@Jm-oq3re lol i just realised i had typo. Not arbutus 😂 but yes, my routine worked.
My current routine for my combo/ dry skin is AM: cerave hydrating cleanser, vitamin C, and Neutrogena hydro boost gel moisturizer with 15 spf and I apply another sunscreen 30spf as a final step. PM: micellar water (if I’m wearing makeup), wash my face with cerave hydrating cleanser and I do this twice to ensure all makeup is off. Then I add a few drops of marine hyaluronic’s all over and then apply niacinamide and alpha Arbutin. I then apply the cerave cream (it’s a thicker consistency) all over my face, neck and chest area. Finally I apply some squalene oil and let that absorb. So far this is working great for my skin but I need toner recommendations and also a mist possibly since I have the Mario mist (I know it’s bad but I just wanna finish it now 😅). My concerns are mainly hyperpigmentation and skin dullness
Oh yeah and black heads on my nose bother me a lot so I’m not sure how to target that concern
Hey,😊 your routine sounds excellent!
For toners, I haven't tried that many toners and so far there was not a toner that I liked😅 I recently ordered the Paula's Choice ENRICHED CALMING TONER which I haven't tried since I'm still waiting for it to arrive😊
For a facial mist, I recommend the Avene Thermal Spring Water or the La Roche Posay Thermal Water.
For blackheads, I recommend a Salicylic acid solution/exfoliator such as the black one from Paula's Choice, which you also could only use on that specific area😊
Melissa Van Dijk thanks for the reply! Love your videos
I'm using Niacinamide and Neutrogena Hydra Boost gel cream. It's a very good combo indeed.👍👍
Hey!! Thank you so much lovely!! I just got these two, first time with serums and I'm so glad to find a channel like yours, everything is so well explained, thank you so much!! Stay blessed and protected lovee!! ❤️
You are very welcome! 🙂
I love how you make it sound so simple
Can i also add the hyaluronic acid with these two products?
Yes, here is the video:

Is it the correct order
Cleanser ->Toner -> alpha Arbutin -> niacinamide -> mostiruzer ?
Yes :)
this was super helpful!! do I apply it when my face is damp or when it is dry?
There is no difference in efficacy.
i was looking for a video for these exact products, so thanks for posting! very informative. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I couldn't find it but have you made a video concentrating on hyperpigmentation? If not,can you? 😅 I really enjoy your videos.thank you, BTW :)
Hello, 😃 I had recreated the example routine from the ordinary website a while ago; see here:

ua-cam.com/video/JKDoD3cSPTo/v-deo.html
Currently, many products are out of stock in most countries, so it isn't easy to do one with The Ordinary products. But I will do another one with other products. I am currently testing a combination of Azelaic Acid, Tranexamic acid and Vitamin c that seems to work very well, and I will publish it soon.
Can I use niacinamide first on whole face and then put alpha arbutin only on dark spots because I have oily skin
yes, you can do that :)
Can I use glycolic acid toner along with alpha arbutin and niacinamide?. Please suggest. I have textured skin with pigmentation and dark spots
Yes, that's fine!😊
Hi! I just got my Lactic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Niaciniminde that I order, should I ovoid mixing any of these products and what order should I apply them in?
You can have a look at this video:

ua-cam.com/video/pA54bdXBBIo/v-deo.html
Clean
Lactic Acid
Alpha Arbutin
Niacinamide
No, they do not have any conflicts so that you can use them all in the same routine, in the morning and/or evening.
Melissa Van Dijk Thank you
Can i apply alpha arbutin in under eyes for dark circle??,,
No
hi, I love your videos so much but I have a quick question. I have the ordinarys niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and alpha Arbutin serums. I know that I can use all of those together, but if I wanted to separate them (like do 2 in the am and 1 in the pm or 1 in the am 2 in the pm) what do you recommend doing for that like routine wise? Thanks so much!
Well, this is up to you haha😅
Since those are all water-based products:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
You could also for example do it like this:
AM
Niacinamide
Hyaluronic Acid
PM
Alpha Arbutin
Hyaluronic Acid
As long as you don't use something that contains a pure form of Vitamin C in your routine when using Niacinamide or Alpha Arbutin, you're fine!😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet help I have active acne and serious scaring. I have been using the salicylic acid but it doesn’t seem to be working

As for scaring, I recommend seeing a doctor.
SVR gel moussant soap free cleanser

Hi, i was wondering if i can use these 2 products with paula's choice skin perfecting 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I love your videos so much fun and well explained ❤🥰

Yes you can😊
PM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Glycolic Acid
- Niacinamide
- Alpha Arbutin
- (Optional) Moisturiser
Hey thankyou so much!! I brought both products but wasn’t sure which one I apply first. Thankyouu!! ❤
Love your videos! You literally always have the answer to all the specific questions I have about different products!
Hey! :) I'm happy to hear that you enjoy my videos!🥰
Hi can i use
AM:
1) the ordinary cleanser
2)Hyaluronic acid
3) natural moisturizer+ha
PM
1) cleanser
1a) the salycilic acid mask
2) niacinemade + zinc
3) Alpha Arbutin + ha
4) Hyaluronic acid
5) natural moisturizer +ha
Hey :) Not sure what you "a" means but you can use the Salicylic acid mask only 1-2 times a week. Apart from that, it's okay, yes.
However technically Hyaluronic Acid can increase the absorption of the products that follow, so it may be beneficial to apply it at first so that the serums can penetrate better into the skin :)
Hi, thank you so much for your videos, please I will like to know if it is ok to use a benzoyl peroxide acne foaming wash and then apply niacinamide and alpha arbutin
Yes that's fine :)
Hey! Should I apply hyaluronic acid before using alpha arbutin ???? Please please please reply
it doesn't matter.
Do I have to use the Alpha Arbutin as a spot treatment or can I use it all over my face? I really want to use it all over my face since I have the problem everywhere lol
Of course, you can also use it all over your face!😊
Melissa Van Dijk Thank you so much for the fast answer! Your videos really guide me through the ordinary products!🥰🥰
Hi Mam
Im using alpha arbutin and ninacinamide for 2 months..but still im getting pimples on my forehead and cheeks n i feel like it is increasing..is it good to contin this?
Please reply mam..
Those products are not cures for pimples, and Niacinamide is not an acne treatment.
But did you get the pimples because of the products, or have you had the pimples and used them to treat them?
Hello,
How should I use alpha arbuntin, lactice acid & niacinamade at the same time? Can i use all 3 products as my morning and night routine?
Could you recommend me with a routine when using these 3 products
Have a look at this video:
ua-cam.com/video/NhrnLb3imYk/v-deo.html
Just replace the Glycolic Acid step with your Lactic Acid😊
Hi um currently use ordinary alpha arbutin in and ordinary ascorbyl glucoside solution 12% in am. Um going to add ordinary niacinamide. Can you pls recommend good routine for am and pm including these three
You can use all 3 of them daily in the AM and/or PM. All of them are water-based serums which can be applied in any order: Cleanser - Serums - (Optional) Moisturiser - SPF (AM).
Hi how many times should i use the cleanser in a week? and the ordinary?
You can use the cleanser daily in the morning and evening. But you don't have to.
And do you mean this routine?You can use it in the morning and evening. And up to twice a day.
Hello..i just started using alpha arbutin together with niacinamide, i noticed some redness and a bit irritation on my face, i have not done any patch test, Do u think i should continue using it or stop??
Stop with one of them and see what happens and then try the same thing with the other one to see what's causing the redness. If you figure out which one it is, stop using that one.
thank you so much for this!! i was thinking if i should buy these 2 together
If that what they are meant for can help you with your skin concerns then for sure go for it!
What are your skin concerns?😊
Niacinamide or alpha arbutin which one product is best for reduce dark spot ? Can tell me which is best for dark spot ?
You can use both. :) Not sure which one works best. 😉
Can u plz try and review the biore acne cleanser or the aveeno brightening cleanser plzzz
I had a quick look and I couldn't find it online. Are you from the US? I am in Europe... 😉
how to apply vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide ? how to add it in AM and PM Routine?
which vitamin c product do you have?
Hi, I just want to ask can I use the caffeine solution first, afterwords can I use the alpha arbutin next after using the caffeine solution?
Yes, that's fine and the correct order😊
Would it be perfectly fine if I use azelaic acid, alpha arbutine and niacinamide ???
Do you want to use The Ordinary Azelaic Acid? If so, use it after Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin.
Thank you so much, this was really helpful!! I have a question though. Is it safe to use a retinoid treatment after using these two serums? :)
Hello 😀 Yes you can use it :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Okay thank you so much!! I love your videos!! :)
Hello can i use vitamin c at morning, alpha abrutin and niacinamide serum at night?? Or alpha with vitamin c at morning, niacinamide at night??

Hi melissa I'm using alpha arbutin and snail mucin cream and sunprise sun screen
sunprise mild watery light sun cream when i apply it i feel burning and hot in the first few minutes what is the reason
Well, to figure it out, you'd have to use the products individually for some time. Otherwise, it's just guessing. It could be either one of them. However, I'd lean towards the snail mucin cream or the sunscreen, as Alpha Arbutin is quite basic, and I've rarely read about it causing irritation.
Hi Melissa! Love your videos! 💙
I have a little question and id be so happy if you can help me!
I ve been using the Ordinary Niacinamide since april as AM routine together with a moisturizer or sunscreen and as PM routine ive been using Bioderma white objective night serum (Vitamin C).
Ive recently purchased Alpha arbutin and Hyaluronic acid from the Ordinary and wanted to know if it can be used together with vitamin C (in PM routine) or is it enough to just use it in AM routine.
Thank you! 🤗
Hello. I recommend using the Alpha Arbutin in the morning and evening. You have to be careful with the Hyaluronic Acid as it can get sticky very quickly when layering a few serums. I recommend using less maybe 1-2 drops. But generally speaking, you have to experiment and see what works best for you. They can be used in the same routine, yes. 😀
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you for the reply dear! 😘🤗

Hii, I have normal skin and I was wondering if I could use this combination to achieve a more radiant and dewy look 🥰
Hm, this is individual I have heard that some people really get a radiant or dewy look when using it. However, in my case, it makes me matt 😆 So this may depend on the skin type. I am not sure sorry.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet niacinamide makes me more matte! I hate it whenever i use it cause there's aways this peeling and i hate feeling it!
But I love Niacinamide tho, been using it for 7 months and I'm buying my 3rd bottle! I learned how to use my 2nd bottle well that i lasted about 4 months! I don't even remember the last time I bought it. They last SOOO long!
Hi,
Can I use Vitamin C with Alpha Arbutin with Niacinimide for dark circles? If yes, please tell me the order to layer them and how many times should I use it in day.
Thanks in advace!
If you have a Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) product, you should not use it with The Ordinary Niacinamide since they may conflict. But you are OK to use Alpha Arbutin with Vitamin C and Niacinamide with Alpha Arbutin. If you have a Vitamin C serum, you can layer in any order and if you use a cream, use it as your last step.
Hi melissa :)
It is okay if we use these two products in the AM routine after that we use in the PM routine in the same day? Or you think its take too much if we do in both AM and PM routine?
Hello Ansha,
Generally, you can do that. But I do often read in my comment section that twice a day is too much. So it depends on your skin. So start with once a day, see how that goes and if you feel the need try using it twice 😃 That's the best way to do it.
Melissa Van Dijk yeahh i think so. Like doing twice a day is too much. Hahaha i want get rid of my hyperpigmentation so quickly 😄. Hehe Its okay. I try once a day is enough for me. But i still can do daily right? In the evening routine?
@@ansharahman877 See how it goes! You can use both of them daily in the AM and/or PM :)
Melissa Van Dijk will do as you said!! Thanks mel :)
Very informative video thank you so much ❤️🥰🙏🏼. I am confused about cleansers and night creams I can use with these. I have dry skin with congestion and hyperpigmentation. Can I use the ceraVe salicylic acid moisturising cream and cleanser with these products?
Hey 😊Be careful with the Alpha Arbutin. If you mix them, please do a patch test first. Based on my experience, the Alpha Arbutin can cause some burning sensation when combined with other products. (or when you apply products on top) Niacinamide should be fine, though. I never had any issues mixing it with other products except for Vitamin C.
Hi! In which order would I use these products and is it safe to do so. Alpha arbutin, niacinamide, gycolic acid and retinol
Here is one option:
Am:
Cleanser
Alpha Arbutin
Niacinamide
SPF (30+)
PM:
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid
Retinol

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet can I use the alpha and niaciamide twice, meaning once in the morning and once in the night after the Toning and 0.5 retinol
Plz tell me which serum should I use for dark circles and dark complexion
You could try The Ordinary's Caffeine Solution or their new Multi-Peptide Eye Serum. Their effectiveness may vary depending on the cause of your dark circles.
Hi, i start using Niacinamide and NMF from 2 days after waching youe video 💖I wanted to know that can i add Alpha arbutin and caffeine solution with them because i have acne scars as well as dark circles.
Hey😊
- Cleanse
- Caffeine Solution (Water-Based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- Niacinamide (Water-Based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- Alpha Arbutin (Water-Based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- NMF (Cream | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- (SPF)
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
If you have acne scars, you may want to have a look at this routine:

Your AM and PM routine looks great and the order of application is correct as well😊
May I just ask about your skin concerns? Like what you want to treat?😊
Melissa Van Dijk I have dark spots and acne scarring, dried skin, occasionally breakouts, bit of large pores around my nose area and of course want to start early with preventing wrinkles lol! Thank you so so so much for all you’re help you’re the best!
@@dianamarie3392 Yeah, your routine looks great!😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet vit c have to be before of hilauronic acid??? And what is good for minimize pores???
Thanks for your help🤎
@@luisafernandavalencia845 What Vitamin C do you want to use?
To minimise pores, have a look at Niacinamide.
the alpha arbutin contain lactic acid /AHA?which means need to use sunscreen if used in the morning?
Not sure if that is because of the lactic acid it contains because I assume that it is only used to balance the pH. But because Alpha Arbutin is a depigmenting agent, it makes the skin sensitive to the sun and therefore, it's advised to use sunscreen during the day, yes.
Hi! First of all thank you for all those videos about the ordinary products, it helps a lot!
I have the alpha arbutin, lactic acid niacinamide, buffet and hyaluronic acid. I am a little lost. When do i apply the hyaluronic and buffet? Before the lactic acid or just after? Or do i use the lactic acid and the alpha arbutin and then i use the hyaluronic acid and/or byffet? I am so lost...
Another question btw, do you think it is safe to use the lactic acid every day? Thank you in advance for your answers, i really do need help💗
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Creams & suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
AM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Alpha Arbutin (Water-based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- Buffet (Water-based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- (Optional) Moisturiser
- SPF
PM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Lactic Acid (Water-based Serum | Daily |PM)
- Hyaluronic Acid (Water-based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- Niacinamide (Water-based Serum | Daily | AM and/or PM)
- (Optional) Moisturiser
It is not recommended to use Buffet (- Peptide) in the same routine than Lactic Acid ( - Direct Acid).
You can use Lactic Acid daily or only a few times per week.
Also, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
With any new formulation, some sensitivity or initial redness can be normal. Initial redness upon application is not a cause for concern if it goes away after a few moments.
Hope this helps🥰

Hi, I recently just got the bha 30%, alpha arbutin, retinol 0.5%and niacinamide. How would you recommend I use?
What are your skin concerns? And what else do you use along with it? Cleanser, serums, moisturiser, spf?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you for replying, I deal with a lot of ingrown hair in my chin, pores and acne on cheek..
Right now, I only use the garnier mineral water to clean my face and I moisturize with shea butter. Nothing fancy or extra
Do you have the AHA + BHA peeling solution?
Have you already had a look at a Salicylic Acid solution or exfoliator (which can be used daily)? The Oridnary has one but it is currently not available. Another option would be the SA exfoliating solution from Paula's Choice or something similar because SA targets the following:
- Oily skin
- Sensitive skin
- Breakouts and Blackheads
- Rosacea-prone skin
- Removes dead skin cells on the surface and in the pores
- Combats breakouts, enlarged pores and blackheads
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Not suitable if you’re allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Creams & suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
And a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
AM Routine Daily:

Hello beautiful i love ur skin and ur videos thank u so much for the great work u doing😍🙏.....Plz i have been asking same question in some of ur videos but it seems u havnt seen my question.i have oily face not too oily ever since i started using tritect soap,but still i keep getting pimples,not much and am having scars .now tht i want try Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and also The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%,cloud tht be ok?i hope this time u reply me😭😭😭
Hey, thank you😊
How was your skin before you were using the saop?
Have you had any pimples before using the soap as well?
What kind of scars do you have?
Getting a few pimples here and there can sometimes happen, due to stress, your diet or hormones.
The Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is a pure form of Vitamin C which means that it is not recommend using the niacinamide and vitamnin c in the same routine.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% can only be used alongside Vitamin C derivatives:
- Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%
- Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10%
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% cannot be used alongside any pure or ethylated forms of Vitamin C.
You can use Niacinamide in the morning and Vitamin C suspension in the evening😊
Thank u so much dear😍🙏
Why alpha Arbutin first? Just curious
It does not matter :) If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
Alpha arbutin is often used to treat hyperpigmentation / irregular skin tone. However it takes quite long to see changes (at least 3 months) and most often, you wont need to apply it to the whole face, only certain areas (nose, cheekbone, eye area) Applying this product first and targeting these areas specifically, thus allowing it to penetrate first will give it a better chance of reaching the melanin irregularities deep within your skin and working on evening out the skin tone (without the niacinamide being in the way if you use too much and not all of it can be absorbed by the skin).
I hope this makes a bit of sense. Unfortunately I can't explain it as well as the customer service of the ordinary when I asked her the same question.
How about first glycolic acid then these product?
Yes, although I think it's a bit excessive, it is technically possible.
Hi! I have Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide which I use everyday. I just started the peeling solution this week. I have hyperpigmentation and wants to try the alpha arbutin to target them. In what order should I use niacinamide and azelaic acid and alpha arbutin? Can I use them together both in PM or AM?
Have a look at this video:

When using the peeling solution for the first time, please have a look at this video:

You can use Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide after the peeling solution as well (I do not recommend using Azelaic Acid, since this is another Acid). But to start off with I recommend keeping it simple when using the peeling solution and just finish with a moisturiser if you feel the need.
Also, if you are new to Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid, please use them once per day to start off with so that your skin can get used to it before using it 2x times per day.
And there is no benefit of using Azelaic Acid 2x times per day.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet OMG! thank you so much! I can save my 30ml of Azelaic if I use it once a day or every other day. Thank you! 😭
Hello can i use hyaluronic together with this at the same time.which one is 1st thankyou🧡
Yes you can! :)
Either one of them can be the first. They have the same texture and are all water-based serums.
hi! i got the niacinamide , the alpha arbutin, and hyaluronic acid, what order should i apply it in?
Hey🙂
Those 3 are all water-based serums so, If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
your videos are so helpful, informative and well explained. however I wonder why your skin seems very damaged even you've been using all these "good" products... though I wanna try them I'm kinda afraid to. I truly need your encouragement.
What do you mean by "damaged"? The pimples? No, until today, I can still not get it fully under control. I always get a few during my period 😖 None of the skincare products works to keep it fully under control. However, it has improved a lot. So if you expect a miracle while using these products, you will not get it. However, if you want to improve your current skin condition, it will work when using it regularly. Unless you use these two products shown in the video to target Melasma, it won't work, but the products also do not claim they can do it. Most people think of it as a cure, but I assume that that is because some influencers promote them in a sneaky manner to sell more products, but not sure could be wrong about that 🤪 (You can watch my newest videos to see the improvements) And thank you 🥰
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I salute you for your honesty and such an informative explanation. I'm truly a big fan of yours and quite trust your contents.Thank you this definitely helps. I've watched so many of your contents and I'll keep doing there's a lot to learn from them. THANK YOU for taking time to respond. 😘
Please use a moisturizer! Without it you’re not locking and all the hydration from the products...
Hello, that's not true. I recommend only using a moisturizer if you have dry skin; otherwise it does not make any sense. If you have oily skin, the sebum works already as an occlusive adding a moisturizer on oily parts is not beneficial!
Melissa Van Dijk I have very oily skin in my skin does not react well when I don’t even moisturizer but if it works for you go off
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 moisturizer is a must
@@katiajb Again it's not needed for certain skin types. You can look at the Book Cosmeceuticals and cosmetic ingredients (chapter 7), and also look at baumannskintypes.com/. Most moisturizers include occlusives that are not needed. They are not necessary for most people with oily skin types. It's enough to add a blend of hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. Can you please mention your source as well?
Yup, I went to Esthetics school just last year.
All skin types need a moisturizer. Specifically with “oily skin“ you should use one that is noncomedogenic. FYI, Oily skin can eventually become dehydrated. In turn producing more sebum to overcompensate.

Can i mix alpha arbutin + niacinamid + caffein solution on my eye area?
I haven't tried that, but remember to use a small amount of each treatment for the undereye area to avoid overapplication and potential skin irritation.
I’m always in my room and rarely exposed to sunlight. Is sunscreen a must in my case?
No :)
Hi Melissa! Can v use alpha arbutin in evening nd niacinamide in morning??
Yes, you can!
The Ordinary For Beginners:

Hii! I have hyperpigmentation and hyperpigmentation acne scars. (I have oily acne-prone skin)This is my routine what do you think I should add? This it in order.
1. CeraVe Oily Skin Cleanser
2. The Ordinary Niacinamide
3. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin
4. CeraVe Moisturizer Lotion
5. Cotz sunscreen
This looks great to me! I recommend keeping it simple before adding anything else and use it for 1-2 months until you can tell if it improved your skin or not.
But based on your concerns, that are the products I would go for!😊
Depending on how oily your skin is, you may find it a bit better without using a moisturiser and may replace it with a hydrating serum that has hyaluronic acid in it😊
Melissa Van Dijk I forgot to tell you in the morning I just use hylauranic acid and then at night I use niacinamide and alpha aributin. Sorry!
Do I have to use sunscreen if I'm gona use it where the sun don't shine? 😳😳
No. However, if you are really fussy about it, yes.
yesss, thank you so much!! most videos are very scientific and i get lost easily on what to do for my rountine!! this is so helpful
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Can anyone tell that ordinary products are made in which country?
They should be bottled in Canada. But apparently this is not true anymore.
