Thanks! just bought this set and was unsure which order to use it in
Hope you enjoy it!

Great ❤️❤️
I got this set a few days ago and I'm very excited for it. I suffer from dry oily skin and have bigger pores around my nose which is where I get oily (and cakey when wearing makeup) the most. I so hope this set will help.
But I am hesitant to use the cleanser every day, as I believe washing your face (and skin in general) everyday can be quite damaging for the skin:/
Hello 🙃 Hm, generally, it's not. If you use a gentle cleanser such as The Ordinary cleanser; it's not an issue. It mainly becomes one when using harsh cleansers that are drying or irritating on the skin.
I recommend adding Niacinamide for your bigger pores. You can use it after Hyaluronic Acid but before your moisturizer.

Can i use it twice a day? Thankkkk you ur explanation is the best am really thankful that u made this video i got m yset a while ago but didn’t use it except once bc i was scared to use daily and was confused about a lot of stuff that u made clear, love you
Yes, that's fine! Glad that you found this video helpful :)
Wow thank you so much for this video. 💕 I have been using the ordinary niacinamide zinc with other products i have been using for years. I have been wanting to stop using those products because it has very harsh chemicals and other products make me break out. I love the ordinary serum I have so I wanted to try other products and these are the exact ones I wanted to try. Thank you for explain how to use it and in the order very helpful. Also, thank you about the sunblock. I had no idea I had to be using it afterwards lol
Hey! :)
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! :) Use SPF when being exposed to the sun! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Yes, thank you so much! 🙏 Just got a sunscreen the other day lol
First ! thanks for recommendations ☺️
Thanks Alice for your lovely comment ❤️
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial You're welcome❤️

You're skin looks amazing and radiant. I have a concern about my routine.
To start things off I'm a male, I purchased The Ordinary Niacinamide, Lactid Acid 10% Salicylic Acid 2% Masque and the AHA 30% Peel.
I don't really know in what order to apply the products mentioned. My cleanser is Cetaphil. I have yet to use my products, out of the fear to burn my face, and watching your videos have given me an idea as to not use all those acids on the same day.
YOU would be a LIFE SAVER if you gave me a reference. I think I may have gotten too many acids which is why I'm avoiding them I have combination skin. But suffer from acne at the moment.
Hey😊
Thank you!
Well, you could use it like this:
AM Routine Daily:
- Cleanse
- Niacinamide
- (Optional) Moisturiser
- SPF
PM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Lactic Acid
- (Optional) Moisturiser
I recommend using Lactic Acid 1-3 times per week in the beginning before using it more often. Also, please do not use Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid Mask and the Peeling Solution in the same routine.
PM Routine (for example Monday):
- Cleanse
- Peeling Solution
- (Optional) Moisturiser
PM Routine (for example Thursday):
- Cleanse
- Salicylic Acid Mask
- (Optional) Moisturiser
If you are suffering from acne, I recommend looking for acne treatments...such as a benzoyl peroxide face wash or cream or look for tea tree oil or a Retinol cream (start with a low %).
Also, don't forget to do a patch-test on your upper forearm before using it on your face!
Niacinamide:
ua-cam.com/video/lMtaffTLK3I/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/gVZJlWLKTDM/v-deo.html
Salicylic Acid Mask:
ua-cam.com/video/Sv-f4tJApNw/v-deo.html
Peeling Solution:
ua-cam.com/video/wSY0pYcy8KY/v-deo.html
I recommend using Niacinamide once per day as it may be too much for the skin when using it 2x times per day. But Niacinamide could be used after Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid and the peeling solution as well!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so, so much. I'm extremely greatful! Thank you for taking the time to answer me! Have an amazing day!
No worries😊 for you too!
nice
Hi Melissa thank you for this informative video❤️ I bought the daily set today and I was wondering if I can use it with my Paula’s choice liquid exfoliant before applying the serum. Also would you recommend to use the exfoliant everyday?
Yes, you can use it after cleanser. (Before Hyaluronic Acid)
For the BHA frequency you can watch the following video:
How Often Should I Use Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant:
ua-cam.com/video/w15DsAvK3-0/v-deo.html
General guide:
"How often you use an AHA/BHA product will depend on your personal tolerance for these products. Start with 2-3 times per week and adjust the frequency according to your skin's response."
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much😊
Thank you for the very informative video! If I use it daily only at night, how long do you think the set will last for? (to prepare for re-ordering)
It depends on how much your use. But if I had to guess, I would say 1 month for the cleanser and moisturizer but 2-3 for the serum.
I just bought the set today and looking forward to use it! Thanks a lot for the amazing explanation! I have a question, can I use this routine twice a day(one in morning and one in the night)?
Yes, however, only use sunscreen during the day if you will have prolonged sun exposure, and the UV index is high.
Hello. Thank you for this video.! I want to Know if necessary use Toner with this set?
Hey :) No, using a toner is optional 😊
Thank you for sharing. By the way when are you going to use the Solution Tonifante a l’ Acide Glycolique 7%? And also the Retinol 0.5% in Squalane?
Use both in the PM but on alternate days.
Glycolic Acid: ua-cam.com/video/NE3j3LPcaGE/v-deo.htmlsi=ZEWclD0gs6cAkPeJ
Retinol: ua-cam.com/video/S0SnEzWLBrU/v-deo.htmlsi=KmmWkTdQE5CUxF1P
Thank you for this video! Do you have any recommendations for blackheads and random big pimples that come and go? I really appreciate this.
Yes, for random big pimples, use a Benzoyl Peroxide Spot treatment. And for Blackheads, you can use the new Ordinary 2% Salicylic Acid solution. However, if the blackheads are very deep into the skin, you need to extract them mechanically with a tool or visit an aesthetician that can help you do that.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much for the tips! You have been very helpful.
@@octobermoon13 💕
Also, a good review.
🥰
Very useful, thank you! When would i use alpha arbutin?
After Hyaluronic Acid :)
THANK YOU!!! I got this set yesterday and I had no idea how to use it. I just wanted to ask if it's recommended to use on a 15year old? I don't have acne, but I have dry skin.
Yes, you can. It only contains hydration and "protection".
Hey Melissa. I have the daily set and the niacinamide and the retinol. When should I use the retinol in the routine ?
You may want to watch the following video since it depends on your skin concerns and needs:
How To Use The Ordinary Retinol:
ua-cam.com/video/W-siXbrGhx0/v-deo.html
Hi, very informative video. Thanks, I have a question. I just bought this set and I want to start using gradually, my skin is acne prone and sometimes I rush, sometimes not. So, when I do have it I use benzoyl peroxide wash gell at night three or four times in a week, depends how much I have. I am just wondering how can I use this set with benzoyl in case of rush? I was thinking just using it at night and in the morning the set routine. What is your experience?
Hey! :)
In this Set, you can use The Ordinary products daily in the AM and/or PM. The Ordinary Cleanser is great because it can also remove sunscreen and makeup, making it a great evening cleanser. However, you can use the Ordinary cleanser first in the evening to remove sunscreen and makeup (if you wear it) and then use your Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser after it. That's fine. You then can also continue with the rest of your routine (of this Set).
Thanks for your response, I noticed that after I use Acid which is in the set I feel like a burning sensation on my skin or like a sting, it continues for 5 minutes and then disappears, I could not find much information about that. One of them was that skin might be too dry. Which could be the reason, since my skin is dry, naturally very oily but I was not using proper products so its dry . I am thinking if I should continue using this product or not, did anyone has this type of experience and what did u do ?
@@mariamochkhikidze8926 Does it still happen when adding a few drops of your Hyaluronic Acid serum to your moisturiser instead of using the serum on its own? Or what about including a hydrating toner to you routine? For example from Paula's Choice or COSRX, as the Ordinary does not have a hydrating toner, they only have an exfoliating acid toner.
I read somewhere that we should use hyaluronic acid or products that includes hyaluronic acid on wet or damp skin. What is your opinion about it. Again many thanks:)
I've made a video about it, have a look at it:
ua-cam.com/video/8cnHmj-9pl8/v-deo.html
Hope this helps😊
Hi not sure if you will see this but I’m waiting to add Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% to this as I have a lot of redness on my face daily when would be a good time to use that thank you! Lovely video 💜
Hey! :)
Sure use it after The Ordinary moisturizer but before your sunscreen. See here:

Thank you!🥰
Hi Melissa
Really helpful video..
Im a male with 0 experience with what to do with my skincare routine
Can i only depend on this set?
Or is there something i can add?
Thanks!
Well, what do you want to achieve? Also, I assume you have oily skin, don't you? 🤔
Would this kit help with uneven skintone? If not, what would you recommend?
This is more like a maintenance set for normal skin. For uneven skin you have several options. I recommend watching the following video first to get a general idea about the setup of a routine:
The Ordinary For Beginners:
ua-cam.com/video/diaLVk_EsI4/v-deo.html
I got the ordinary balance set today but I’m curious how many times a week should I use the niacinamide 10%+zinc 1
How to Use The Ordinary The Balance Set:
ua-cam.com/video/xJY3jwF658A/v-deo.html
If I put makeup on in the morning should I wait a certain amount of time after putting on moisturizer? Thanks!
Not necessarily. I mean you can wait between 1-2 minutes but it isn't a 'must'. :)
What is the best antiaging product of ordinary ??? my skin is acne prone and dry and dehydrated 😥
Have you had a look at Hyaluronic Acid or Marine Hyaluronics and a Vitamin C product like the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% and the Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion?
Hey! I just bought the daily set and it’s only been 2 days since I’ve started using it. I just wanted to ask if I use the Ordinary peeling solution will I still be able to use the daily set?
Before or after what should I use the peeling solution?
Yes, you can use the peeling solution with the set.
Cleanser (wash off and wait 5 minutes for skin to dry)
Apply Peeling Solution (max 10minutes on the skin and rinse with water only)
Hyaluronic Acid
Moisturizer
And it's best to use it in the PM. And peeling solution should only be used once or twice a week. However, I feel that twice a week is a bit too much, and I, for example, only use it once or twice a month; however it depends on your skin and other factors, which are very individual, so test it, but do not overdo it.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much! You’re a great help! ❤️
I want to use te daily set in the mornings and the balance set in the evenings, do you think this will work?
Hey :)
Yes, that's fine! :)
I'm thinking of buying a Moisturizer in Inkey List what's best for oily and acne prone skin?
Look for a gel with antioxidants or aloe vera :)
I have the daily Set of ordinary but can I add the carave hydrating cream to foam cleanser with this routine ?? Or just one cleanser is enough (ordinary or carave) cleanser
Yes, that's fine. Use CeraVe Cleanser in the AM and The Ordinary one in the PM.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Okk thank you 😊
After using hydroclonic next is niacinamide,is there any problem with that or its ok?
That's fine! :)
Yet again such an informative video ! Let me know if m following the right routine -
AM
Mario Badescu glycolic foaming cleanser (want to finish this one before I buy Squalane cleanser)
Moisturizer
Sunscreen
PM
Glycolic Acid toner
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA
Moisturizer
Belif Sleeping Mask
Also, I want to incorporate Retinol from Ordinary and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Complex II in my routine.. where can I fit these two?
Hey, 😀 It may be too much to use the Glycolic Acid toner daily, but it looks good apart from that.
And what Retinol serum do you have from the Ordinary? The Granactive Retinoids or the Retinol? Because this can make a difference in when you should include it.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I am yet to purchase both of them.. Didnt know there are two types available! I am 32 years old and dont know which one to buy!
@@PriyankaGupta212605 Ok, that's great that you did not buy them. So go with the Granactive Retinoids since they are unlikely to irritate. It may be best to start with the Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion, and once you used it all up, buy the Granactive Retinoid 0,5% in Squalane :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you Melissa !! U are a life savior :) I will purchase Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion. My question is - how should i include it in my PM routine ? Also, should I invest in Estee Lauder ANR serum too?
@@PriyankaGupta212605
I don't think you need to invest in Estee Lauder ANR serum; the main reason is that the Ordinary products are working just as well. At least from my experience.
There are multiple options you can great two routines, and I think this will work best since you are using so many products.
PM1 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday):
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid toner
Granactive Retinoids in Emulsion
That's the example routine which the Ordinary recommends ;)
PM (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday)
Cleanser
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA
Moisturizer
Belief Sleeping Mask
This way, you are making sure that you aren't overusing the toner, and you can adjust your skin to the retinoids. Of course, you can customize it.
In case you want to, I recommend watching this video:
How to Create a Skincare Routine With The Ordinary Products - A Beginners Guide:
ua-cam.com/video/png_aAg5B0A/v-deo.html
With this routine can I use toner and when I can use it please and thanks
Yes, that's fine! :)
Can i use the ordinary to my face and go iut to the sun or not , and also can i use after makeup or i need to clean my face again and then out the makeup
What Ordinary products do you use?
It's always best to protect the skin during the day when being in the sun. Especially if you are using Exfoliating Acids or Retinol/Retinoid, as they can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
You can use makeup on top of your skincare products, that's fine.
Hello please i have question can i use make up after all this
Yes :)
Would I be able to include a different branded exfoliater in this routine or shall I use that at separate time maybe I’m abit confused?
You can yes, use it after cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oh thanks. And how many times would you recommend using a exfoliater a week. And is there a specific one that’s good for people with some acne? Thanks for the replies!!
@@d__0053 Well for acne you can use a Salicylic Acid product. I recommend starting with 2-3 times a week in your evening skincare routine.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks!! Also would you say it’s better to do this routine in the morning and at night to because I prefer to do it once in the morning but if it is better for my acne and skin to do it twice I would try doing it twice a day
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Ok I will see. Thanks for all the replies!!
Is this a morning routine or should it be done at night as well?
It can be used morning and evening. (in the evening is no sunscreen needed)
Can i use Hyaluronic acid on my under eye area?
Yes, just don't get it into your eyes!😊
Hi may I ask about how to use the cleanser? Do you wet your face and pat dry then apply the cleanser or you use the cleanser right after you get out of your bed after you wake up?
The Ordinary Squalane cleanser? So bascially, after you get out of bed, you need to use it on dry skin and rinse it off.
See here:
ua-cam.com/video/ePhQFUB6s0A/v-deo.html
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much dear also I mean when we wake up in the morning there will be oil on our face so we don’t need to rinse that oil with water before us other cleanser right? Just use the cleanser right away right?
@@von_9 Yes, as shown in the video.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial and also I have one more problem with my squalane cleanser 🙏 when I rub it it didn’t become oil. The more I rub it it became white and sticky and then the product is all gone. I already made sure that my hands are dry.
@@von_9 You have to warm it up between your hands and then message it onto your face. It will turn into an oil due to the heat given. Make sure to apply on dry hands and face.
Plz do you recommend any sunscreen light weight doesn't block pore's and breakouts and suit the oily acne prone skin and light dark spots of acne and pigmentation..
Well, I like NIOD Survival 20 or 30, but it's quite pricey. There are hardly any good mineral sunscreens on the market. Alternatively, you could try formulations like Good Molecules' Mineral SPF 30 or COSRX's Aloe Soothing Sun Cream. Otherwise, you really need to research online in forums and see what real people recommend. I mainly use NIOD Survival 30. 😉
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial skin aqua gel moisture sunscreen and Bondi sand sunscreen and Beauty of jeoson sunscreen........ Which one or 2 is Good?? Any idea
@@hooriya632 I haven't tried these. Beauty of Joseon is too hydrating for me.
So I bought this set today and I watched your video and I understand this all but also I have salicylic acid in bootle and in a little tube as a mask and I don't know if I can use it too and when..for example I'll use this set monday and Tuesday in the night so when I can use salicylic acids?
Do you have SA masque? 🤔 This one?

ua-cam.com/video/Sv-f4tJApNw/v-deo.html
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes exactly this one
Yes, so you can use it once or twice a week and follow with hyaluronic acid or the moisturizer :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial What do you mean ?
You can use the Salicylic Acid Mask (rinse-off mask) once or twice per week and then use the Salicylic Acid Solution (leave-on exfoliant) on days when not using the mask. So you could use the Salicylic Acid Solution 2-3 times, maybe more often...you have to test it and see what your skin tolerates. After the Salicylic Acid mask or solution, you can follow with the Hyaluronic Acid serum and/or moisturizer afterwards :)
It can be use in the morning and night?. Like twice a day?
yes :)
Hello! I'm turning 21 soon and i have a clear skin. I haven't use anything for my skin care. What do you recomend me to start using because i think its time to take care for my skin now❤️ I hope you reply🙏🏻. Or mabye you can make a whole video about this
Well if you have clear skin, and your skin feels great there is no need to use any products. If you want to do something good for your skin than just use a good sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun :) That's it.
hii, ur so lovelyyy, what can u recommend for hyperpigmentation.😪😪
What kind of hyperpigmentation do you have 🤔?
Melissa Van Dijk post acne:(
I recommend Ascorbic Acid + Alpha Arbutin.
Could I apply it in the morning and the evening every day or is that too much
That's something you need to test for yourself. But generally, it should not be an issue. Try it and see how it goes; if not, reduce the frequency.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you

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.

Is this set only good for just a simple skincare routine for a 14yo with acne scars and oily skin? Or is there other products i need other then these? Please answer!!
My suggestion would be using a Salicylic Acid cleanser, and that's bascially it ;)
Example The Inkey List SA Cleanser or CeraVe Acne Control cleanser.
And during the day, use sun protection (for example, COSRX Aloe Soothing Sunscream to keep the skin as healthy and young as possible.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial tysm! Appreciate it and gonna subscribe
I started using this balance set 3 days ago and I have acne prone skin . It breaked out really bad . Is it okay please reply me
I suggest taking a break from using the products for at least a couple of days, and then continue using it. If the reaction happens again, you can try using the products on and off, giving your skin more time to adjust. It's possible that the initial reaction may improve over time, especially if you are new to these products or have never used them before. However, if the reaction persists or worsens, it would be best to discontinue use altogether.
Can u mix salicylic acid and glycolic acid
Do you mean layer one after another 🤔? If so you can, but it may be not very pleasant for the skin. If you want to do it, I recommend using a cleanser with Salicylic Acid and apply a leave-on exfoliant on top. However, the Ordinary recommends not using multiple strong acids in the same routine.

Hello mishmi,
From my experience, it is because the % of Niacinamide is too high or you are sensitive to the ingredient itself. But since Niacinamide is often in moisturizers, I doubt that it is the second one. So what you can do is dilute one drop with the moisturizer and see if it still occurs.
Also, it seems that you have dryer skin, so the Ordinary moisturizer may not be rich enough for you. Because Niacinamide regulates oil, you become less oily, and if you already have dry skin, it can make it worse.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks alot for your reply.
I have cera ve moisturizing cream for dry to very dry skin.can I use it instead of ordinary's moisturizer?and if it's OK to dilute just one drop of niacinamide in cera ve moisturizing cream and use it only in the evening routine?

niacinamide didn't go well with cerave cream as well so i eliminated it from my routine because white heads started appearing on my forehead and chin.
Overall cerave products are working well on my skin.please suggest me that whether I can give a try to the cerave niacinamide serum or leave this idea of using niacinamide?
@@mishmi3037 Hm... I'm sorry to hear that it didn't go well!
What are your overall skin concerns?
Are you talking about Cerave's Resurfacing Retinol Serum, or what Cerave Niacinamide serum do you want to use?
Hello! I was looking in the internet information of what can I mixed the ordinary products and I found you! I love how reply to everyone and I really need help! Hopefully you can answer my questions. I’m 25 years with oily skin and still suffer from acne, I have acne dark spots and scars. I’m trying to get rid of them so here’s what I have.
THE ORDINARY
Aha 30% + BHA 2%
Niacinamide
Alpha Arbutin
Glycolic Acid 7%
Salicylic Acid 2%
REVOLUTION SKINCARE LONDON
0.2% Retinol
2% Salicylic Acid
CERAVE
Salicylic Acid cleanser, facial moisturizer SPF and skin renewing night cream
Hm, I am not 100% sure if the products you have can help you treat your acne. However, you can try it and see if it works; if not, add an acne treatment!
I try to give you the information you need to build your routine, and if you still have more questions, I am happy to help you.
You have:
THE ORDINARY
Aha 30% + BHA 2%. (Mask)
Niacinamide (Water-Based Serum)
Alpha Arbutin (Water-Based Serum)
Glycolic Acid 7% (Water-Based Serum, Exfoliant)
Salicylic Acid 2% (Water-Based Serum, Exfoliant)
REVOLUTION SKINCARE LONDON
0.2% Retinol (Anhydrous Solution)
2% Salicylic Acid (Water-Based Serum)
Order of application =
Cleanser
Toner (you do not have one)
Exfoliant (Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid)
Serums (1. Water-Based, 2. Anhydrous Solutions & Oils)
Moisturizer & Suspensions
You should not use more than one exfoliant in the same routine, and you should use them preferred in the PM. Also, I recommend using it only once per day.
When using an exfoliant for the first time, use it every other day in the beginning and see how your skin responds to it. If everything is fine and feels good, it can be applied daily.
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.
Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing."
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
Some products can have a foaming effect upon application depending on the other products you are using in your regimen. The foaming should not last longer than a few seconds and both should not remain sticky once absorbed into the skin. (Video: ua-cam.com/video/r04W7rQV1R0/v-deo.html)
"Pilling" (snakeskin, shedding) can occur due to too much product. Your skin can only absorb a certain amount of product, and any excess will be left on top of the skin so that when the next product is being applied, it rubs off. (Video: ua-cam.com/video/l_C7HtO826A/v-deo.html)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial What acne treatment do you recommend?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial And what toner do you recommend? So happy that you replied back!
@@mairaceciliaalvarado6826 You may want to look for products that include either tea tree oil, benzoyl peroxide, zinc or Retinol (low%) or a derivative of Retinol.
Personally, I love the Paula's Choice enriched calming toner, however, all of them look great! :) and I may want to get some of those other ones as well😅
You don't have to use a toner! You may just want to start using your routine and see how it feels on the skin before adding anything else😊
Hey!Can I use hylauronic acid after glycolic acid ?
Yes you can. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells.
So u mean to say that I can use it right?
yes exactly :)
Sorry may I please ask how do these smell like? 🙏🏿
They are fragrance-free; however, they have a "chemical" smell, hard to describe. 😉
After step 2 do u ash ur face or not
No :)
😫help meeee. It’s been 3 to 4 weeks I’m using the daily set of ordinary after one day but it just open my pores on my cheeks and nose what should I do should I use it once a week or every day and it doesn’t vanished my bumpy skin am I using it wrong ?
And it’s cleaner doesn’t work for me it just gives me acne’s so instead of that I use carave cream to foam cleanser
Hey!
How do you use the cleanser? Do you properly wash it off?
Depending on your pores, there isn't much that you can do because you can not actually close them!
However, if you have textured skin and/or enlarged pores because you may have oily skin or congested skin, I recommend looking into an exfoliant and/or Niacinamide.
This routine won't do much for enlarged pores.
What's your skin type?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial no I have a dry skin and I didn’t have pores before I never had
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial can you suggest me something for my acne’s 😟 I received them a lot on my forehead and my chin
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I just wash them off with plain water that’s it
i am taking a break from using the hyaluronic acid for the ordinary or any other brands. i used to use it twice a day AM and PM coz i thought my face needs all the hydration. after months of doing this i researched why my skin is looking more parched than hydrated. i found a lot of info on youtube that says this happens if you over use hyaluronic acids. also, a lot of my other products like toners, essence and serums also includes hyaluronic acid properties in it so i might be over doing it having a straight HA serum.
what’s your thoughts about it?
Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar, and it may be drying when used in its pure form. But the serums nowadays do not include Hyaluronic Acid. They have a Hyaluronic Acid derivative called Sodium hyaluronate; this can penetrate deeper into the skin and does not give you the same effects as Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid can suck out the moisture from the deeper layers, and if you live in a dry climate, it may cause dehydration since the moisture isn't pulled out of the air but instead of your skin. So this may cause issues when you use brands that include Hyaluronic Acid.
However, this is not the case with most brands since they do not include that ingredient. If you have dry skin and use this ingredient and not use a moisturizer on top, your skin will look even dryer because it cannot seal in the moisture. If you have oily skin, the sebum does that job, and you need an extra moisturizer since the skin only lacks hydration.
Most people just use the wrong ingredients, and that it is essential to look at the skin. But this does not have anything to do with Hyaluronic Acid, and it is just that people use it in the wrong way. Or they use too many acids in a row that can dry the skin, especially when it is not needed. So it's best to find the right balance, which is very difficult, I have to admit.
Most people use too much, even the "doctors" if they are real doctors, I highly doubt it. 😞
And what serums do you have that include Hyaluronic Acid? (If they include the "real" Hyaluronic Acid, it is mostly way down the list and hardly consists of any at all, but this can give you a nice plumping effect; Hyaluronic Acid is mostly just cosmetic to look better when you go out :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial great point. i have combo skin and mostly oily on T zone and dry on other parts of my face. i love using HA but was just experimenting taking a pause to it. i know it’s different when some other products have other hydrating factors to it like glycerin etc. i also use alpha arbutin from TO regularly for my acne marks and hyperpigmentation with i believe include HA in it. i use a lot of TO moisturizer as well and the paula’s choice calming toner that i believe has some hydrating factors. this week i am introducing HA’s once a day every other day to my skin again but using the Paulas choice instead of the ordinary. as u know, i’ve accumulated so much products in my routine and had to cut something out and decided to choose HA coz i want to keep my niacinamide (which i also cut once a day from being twice a day) and alpha arbutin consistently. so basically from 3 down to 2 serums. another thing that i constantly use is retinol every 2-3 days and vitamin C every morning. so anyways, why i want to cut my steps it’s usually the HA that gets the cut to lessen the products that i use. also the toners and essences.
i sound confusing but you get the point lol
@@ChaChaDiaries Did you get the Paula's Choice Hyaluronic Acid?
Yeah, you're right! Most hydrating products include more than just Hyaluronic Acid! Which is great so that you can personalise your skincare routine and see what works and feels the best for your skin! Sometimes, when I'm using a hydrating toner + serum, I do not always feel the need to add a moisturiser afterward, but this depends on the products and how my skin feels after the application which changes over time.
I do like to try out different combinations as well so I do understand why you're changing the routine, maybe you'll find a way which fits your skin the best 😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I really like the PC Hyalurnic acid. I think it is less stickier than the one from the Ordinary. I try to spray my face with a bit of water before using any HA's just to get that good hydration locked in.
Yeah, I mostly use the Cerave Hydrating cleanser that has HA or the Paula's choice Gentle cleanser that I believe has the hydrating ingredients in it as well. I learned that from you to look at the ingredients to see if what's in it and see what to mix in my routine so I felt like a lot of my products has HA already so i can sometimes skip using a Hyaluronic acid serum depending on what my skin tells me.
I think i am finding a good routine for me now as I have shared on my other comments on your videos. But most importantly, I listen to my skin on what it needs so I might switch it up on that day. I am from Washington so we dont get much sun this season, so I am pretty sure my skin will change again coming from summer to the rainy fall season. haha.
@@ChaChaDiaries I didn't know that you bought the Paula's Choice Hyaluronic Acid! I love that one a lot, and with that one, I don't need a moisturiser that's like my "last" step, and that's it!
Paula's Choice has great products! And their red cleanser is one that I've tried and love as well! Which one do you use?
From Cerave, I do like the hydrating cream to foam cleanser, but the other ones are alright but not the ones that I reach for often...but that's personal preference😊
I'm happy to hear that I could help you to pay attention to the ingredients list! You don't have to know each ingredient but it can help a lot to understand the product and just as you said, find out if it fits into your routine or not!
Listening to your skin is what's most important!🥰
How long do you have to wait between step to apply the next step
About 30 sec to a minute for toner, essence and serum and for oil/moisturizer, wait for about 1-2 min. :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you 🙏

How to use in summer plz reply
Hmm? What do you mean? You would still follow the same steps as demonstrated in the video.
Moisturizer????
@@marhamshahzad2337 You can use one, yes. However, the skin isn't often as dry during summer as it is during winter, so it may not be necessary.
Thanks 😊
hello, melissa! first of all, thank you so much for this video, i’ve found it very informative. second of all, i was wondering which products of the ordinary set should be used on dry skin or wet skin? i have acne and i’ve done a tone of research but i don’t seem to have an answer to that question. i don’t have bad acne so don’t worry! i’m not really prone to breaking out just a few pimples here and there but not irritation or anything at all! thanks again! 🫶🏻
Hey! :)
As demonstrated in the video, pat off any excess water from the skin's surface before applying your skincare products to the skin. Also, make sure to let each product absorb into the skin before moving on to the next step.
