Hi Nerida! The thing I love the most is that you two work hands on with good products and mainly like to pay attention to the reason that a skin may have a problem. It's been a week that I haven't stopped watching your videos and reading all your comments below the videos. I'm an esthetician in Greece and graduated from a 4 year school of Aesthetics & Cosmetology three months ago. You are a role model for me, because you are paying attention to what really works for skin and not what is "fancy" for the clients. My first job was at a beauty institute with lots of fancy machines and when I left that place, I really had started to think that I wanted to change a career. I felt like I didn't like it at all and everything was a lie... But now that I work at a place where we do hands on treatments and use only a few machines, I start to really see differences in peoples faces and of course I love my job! In the next years, I'm definitely travelling to LA just to do a facial with you! Thank you for all the inspiration and knowledge you are spreading :)
You are so insightful and it is very clear you're a compassionate expert and love what you do. Can't wait to see more informative videos in the future!
I am so happy I found this channel, this is the most I've learned from UA-cam videos and this has answered so many of my questions, it's been a long search! Your channel is amazing. Thank you so much for such amazingly informative content!!
Nerida, thank you for always delivering such great content! I’d love more information/a video on giving facials to men with a model that has a beard (not necessarily a long one, but short hair covering the chin/upper lip/lower half of face etc).
Incredible. I really appriciate guys your work and how you share with us every single information and your experience. It is so important for me to hear someone really proffesional to talk about skin . I am learning so much with you.
I love watching your videos....very informative...i suffer from facial warts and have been wanting to get rid of them...any suggestions?? Id appreciate any feedback :)
I like the mineral makeup colorscience ...they have powder spf 50 that is great if you are oily without surface dryness. They have a liquid also and then the rejuvi line has a tinted and non tinted non-comeodegenic one I love also:))
I'm attending beauty school and learning about the skin which so far I'm loving it. Always wanted to go to beauty but life got in the way so finally doing it. What do you think of high frequency machines?
Hi Nerida! I love your videos! I was wondering what your thoughts are on cleansing devices like the Clarisonic? Thank you for everything you do and keep on being awesome :)
Thanks! I tend to use or a few times a week in the evening with a creamy cleanser and a sensitive brush head from their cashmere line. I'm oily with surface dryness and I find the clarisonic along with a vitamin C serum tend to help decongest my skin. Would that make sense? Or do you have other recommendations? I'd love to know what you think :)
sounds good to me Marie-Christine. You could also try a cream exfoliant with a little glycolic to absorb those dead cells. it will get rid of your dryness faster:))
When you use retinol at night, is it better to have it in your serum or your moisturizer? Great video as always! I take more notes while watching your videos than I do when in class 😝
Thank you so much for your wonderful and educational videos. I have a combination skin, oily at the nose and chin (where i mostly break out) and a little bit dehydrated mostly between the eyebrows (where my make up always doesn't sit well) and tiny dry spots on the cheeks mostly near the nose. I use the P50, followed by the serozinc, the darphin hydraskin serum and the la mer moisturizing cream for the day. At night I tend to use hydrating oils and 4 times per week I use the Luna oil from sunday Riley. I know that the mer cream is not supposed to be the best really but my only problem is that with some other moisturisers I noticed that I start sweating at the nose and chin area, something that I don't experience with the la mer cream. Also even though I would like to use the luna oil more frequently, I noticed that it breaks me out a little bit. I was wondering if you have any recommedations for a different moisturiser and a retinol for the night and a sunscreen that will complement those products. Also is it good idea to use the P50 every day? I live in the UK but during summer I travel to Greece where it is extremely hot, should I stop my acids and my retinols during this time? I would be grateful if you could give me your opinion. Lena.
I personally am not a lover of oils for the face. I am not familiar with the P50 and the serozinc? But it does seem like you are using creams for a very dry skin. Is that your skin type? Reach out to Jordan Samuel Skin and see if he has his products over in the UK. Yes, retinol needs to be limited in the summer months if you are enjoying the outdoors in Greece.... but it does sounds like fun!
Hi, I am currently learning to do facials, am wondering do you keep the steamer going throughout the service? If so is it just for a client with enlarged pores or everyone.
Keep your skin clean with cleansing twice at night ...first cleanse use a warm wet wash cloth and exfoliate every week. Just about everyone has blackheads in their T-zone area. But by keeping the skin clean at least you will be able to keep them under control and your pores small.
I hear what you’re saying in regard to retinol etc, but can you do a video that’s gives us examples of good night serums etc with retinol? Thank you Nerida!
Nerida, what do you think about an extractor took with a lance on it. Sometimes I get a cystic pimple or very large ones and I can't stand it. I know I probably shouldn't pop it, but when I can tell it's actually ready to be popped, instead of just applying pressure and causing a dermal explosion, should you poke the blemish with a lance or needle type device to make a small hole first to allow the sebum to drain? Also, how often do you recommend doing exfoliation with the AHA's/buffing effect cleansers? Thank you for the help.
Hi Deanna, Because we aestheticians in California are not allowed to use lancets I am not able to tell you what to do here. I am not saying it is right or wrong just that I am not able to recommend this. As for exfoliation, if you are more oily 2 or 3 times a week in summer is generally good. Winter 1 or 2 times :)
Do you recommend product with just 1 or 2 of the ingredients or product with 3 - 4 of them?! I'm asking because I'm currently using a Vit C serum daily every AM do I need more of the ingredients??
Lovely video! I'm curious about using a retinol every night (low strength), do you suggest using various strengths and brands every night or stick to one strength? I use a few different products and brands... Also, what are your thoughts on chemical peels, the VI Peel in particular.
Hi there, You could use a couple of different, it depends on your skin. I would say whatever makes your skin look great without irritation and dryness . I also like some chemical peels for certain skin types and concerns. I do not like chemical peels for dryer aging skin long term but I do like them for a more oily skin with larger pores and scaring.
Nerida Joy thank you so much for the response and I appreciate it! Your thoughts on chemical peels make sense too. I think I just wanted to try it bc it's the new/cool thing. I have to realize I'm not cool and don't need my 40 year old skin peeling off! Ha New subbie too!
Hi Nerida I just subscribed to your channel I am beauty therapist student and your videos are very helpful I think is nice you don't show the brand you are using but if we ask would you recommend any product like sunscreen? Thanks xoxo
Hi Nerida , i love your video it very education . I have questions to ask it about exfoliate . i have combination to oily skin , acne and my skin easy irritation from sun if i walk under sun without hat my face feel like it burn slightly . I want to know how many time a week i exfoliated . What is exfoliation i should use, chemical or physical . Thank you very much. Love you!
look for a enzyme exfoliant that contains papaya and a little glycolic acid. No granules, and one that you can wash off..... they have more of a buffing effect:) use it once or twice a week
Hi, I have a quick question regarding retinol. What percentage is considered a prescription strength prescription? I was prescribed .05% a few years ago but stopped using it because it started to bother my skin. Thank you!!
If you are buying it from a doctor.... it probably prescription strength. Use an over the counter as you already know you are sensitive to it:) You can try a sample of the rejuvi a night gel retinol.... see what you think:) Email monique at educateyourskin@gmail.com
Ive heard you mention Murad. Do you have an opinion of the Retinol Youth Renewal serum? I work at a massage envy. Is one retinol better than another when no strength is listed.
Its all about the formula, its lipoceutical vehicle and what it is combined with. Murad is a safe line...not too strong generally. Within all product lines there are good products and some maybe not so great. And, everyone is different so some will love the product and others not. I have not used this particular retinol product so i am not sure, but I usually like to put retinol on the skin after a serum as a buffer:))
Colorscience, Jane Iredale or La Bella Donna mineral powder sunscreen is best for acne. Its healing and matte:)) Maybe not drugstore style.... buts its what is best...
Diluting the product i.e. glycolic acid will be more buffered in a cream form then a serum or gel. Or, if you are referring to the buffering of the skin, I mean absorbing dead cells rather then harsh scratchy granules.
I was wondering if a serum decreased the efficacy of retinols. Good to know that isn't the case. Although, I prefer to use a serum daytime and do retinol at night. My question is regarding salicylic acid and retinols. Can they be used together? Don't they do the same thing? Exfoliation? I have acne prone skin and all these products I'm trying to figure out which order to use them all. Salicylic acid toner, benzoil peroxide lotion, retinol, and vitamin C serum. The acne products are very drying so I'm not using them 2x a day anymore.
Yes, they both exfoliate but are different in how they work on the skin. They can sometimes be used together, but some skins tolerate one better then the other....depends. The items you listed are too strong all together. What is your cleanser? tell me the brand names of what you are using.... I will get back to you after that
I'm using Paula's Choice pore normalizing cleanser, and her acne products; toner 2% salicylic acid, & the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide lotion. The new additions are the vitamin C&E serum with hyaluraonic acid by Yeouth, & Lillyana Naturals I think 2% retinol. I use a light nightime moisturizer, and one with sunscreen during the day, but they don't seem to have much effect on surface dryness. I would say my face is dry and flaky as the day goes, but also really oily at the same time. I must thank your for your face washing tips on here. I've changed the way I wash my face and I think that helps.
You need to get back to basics..... what you have is too strong all together. A dry outer layer will not allow for the oil to escape underneath. So you will always have a problem with your skin. You could try the rejuvi K cleanser, healing gel, g aha serum and the b lotion. Get the exfoliating mask also. When you have these products let me know so I can tell you how to use them njskincare@aol.com :))
Some sensitive skins yes..... very thin skins possibly not. It depends because you can layer them over serums.... and some retinols are very mild. NEVER prescription strength :))
buffering is when a aha or retinol is put into a cream texture to cut back on its intensity. A cream is more buffered then a gel for example. Niacinamides are great but not for people that have thyroid issues or have heat within the body...(people that cannot tolerate tomatoes/spicy foods/alcohol) and possibly sensitivity to B vitamins, niacinamides could be an issue also.
microneedling has become popular here in Ireland what do you think of this treatment ? love your videos and the fact that they aren't about brand names of products.😊
Microneedling is popular here too, but understand that it stimulates collagen by causing Trama to the skin. Retinol's and AHA's stimulates collagen WITHOUT creating scar tissue and dulling skin tone.
Gosh thanks for replying. I totally agree gently gently is the best approach to our skin so that it works at an optimal level. I have trained with Guinot they use a galvanic and high frequency machine I've seen great results with that. I love learning about the skin is so fascinating what percentage of retinol would you recommend to look for in a product and are they safe to use on a celtic skin which is prone to broken capillaries we see a lot of that skin type in Ireland 😊
Hi Sandra, Over the counter retinol will not go into to percentages and you could buffer with a non retinol serum prior that supports the little blood vessels :))
Highlighted comment Bac Ha 5 days ago Thought you may find this interesting www.oumere.com/blog/2018/8/5/how-dermarolling-causes-collagen-breakdown-premature-aging-andpossibly-cancer
Hi Nerida, thank you for the great video, so I have always had oily skin and just recently I started taking Accutane pills to help with my acne, which made my skin very very dry and I am just not used to taking care of dry skin so can you please give me a couple of tips that can help me out? Love
Hello Nerida, Could you please recommend a good retinol product for me (26 years old) given that I have rosacea and I use an acid lotion (P50 PIGM 400 and P50W) morning and night? Also, could you please confirm whether I have understood correctly that microcurent devices damage the capillaries? I use a semi professional hand tool that stimulates the facial muscles (xtreem pro if you know it) Thank you much! your answer would be very appreciated!
No, not all micro-curent damages capillaries. But microdermabrasion is not good for capillaries because of its suction. Recommending a retinol is difficult without seeing your skin. But with all retinols you need to layer over a serum. I speak a lot about the q flavonoid which supports capillaries ..... so i would recommend layering. Rejuvi is a great skin care treatment line with retinols also, but you have to layer:))
Thank you so much for your reply! I do layer a number of serums (3 water based from biologique recherché ) and a hyaluronic one on top before my moisturiser, as well as a finishing serum (BR as well) on top of my moisturiser. Given the extend of layering, would you recommend starting with a retinol cream at night or to introduce a retinol based serum (i am looking into purchasing the rejuvi one if its not too strong). and lastly, where do the flavonoid and the retinol (if its a serum) come in the layering order? Thank you so much! I am so sad I do not live in US and I am unable to come to you for a treatment!
Sounds like a lot of serums.... maybe 2 would be max for me just because your diluting the more you layer. I would use a retinol cream over the serum and the q you could put on as first or second serum or mix the two would be ideal:))
Thanks a lot! I will definitely follow the advice. I understand it should be a night time routine? and no retinol and q complex during the day? And just to double check, cause I've been told otherwise, p50 can be used in conjunction with the retinol?
Try eye gels and serums that contain arnica, licorice extract, pearl powder and mallow. As for KP.... glycolic pads on your upper arms or lower face. Its a sensitivity to sugar ..... maybe you have a little hyperglycemia .... eat frequently and lower your sugar intake :)
Hyperglycemia. Eat 3 balance meal of quality protein and low carbs. 2 snacks both with balance of protein and low carbs. Low carbs such as fresh vegetables and low sugar fruits such as berries in moderation. Enjoy lots of water and/or green teas.
I am still breastfeeding and have very dry skin because of it. What products can I use to help with my dry skin that are safe to use while breastfeeding?
Yes, it is safe if you are using a mild buffered retinol. Many brands have mild retinol and always apply a serum that supports your capillaries first i.e. one that may contain arnica or vitamin C.
With skin sensitivity to silicones/dimethicones and algae, I have had a difficult time finding both an SPF and a good exfoliant without these ingredients that won't make my skin worse. Aside from staying away from the sun like a vampire, is there anything that someone with these sensitivities to seemingly everything on the market can do?
Have you tried true mineral makeup brands for you high SPF like color science unforgettable SPF 50. Its great, healing and non comedogenic try the rejuvi exfoliating mask with papaya and lemon peel powder also. Keep me posted :))
+Nerida, Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will try the Rejuvi, as it does not seem to contain ingredients that I have found myself to have allergic reactions to. Sadly, the Color Science Sunforgettable SPF 50 contains 2 forms of Dimethicone, plus algae in the form of Coralina officinalis. It is frustrating to know that I should be protecting my skin, but my skin does not seem to agree with that philosophy. ;) Please keep me mind of you ever come across a magical SPF that might work for me. Regards, Jennifer
Whilst I very much enjoyed the video, is there any rigorous scientific evidence that retinol cream works better than a moisturising placebo? If it's less than prescription strength, doesn't that mean that it isn't pharmaceutically-active and doesn't need to be regulated? I would love to be convinced otherwise (maybe someone could link me to a paper?) thanks!
What about using salicylic acid in conjunction with retinol? I've noticed sometimes my face will itch, especially around my brows and forehead and the top of my cheeks underneath my eyes. Also, Jordan has beautiful teeth ;)
Thanks so much for replying, gorgeous lady! I'll be sure to layer a serum before retinol creme. I know you're not brand specific but I'm currently using a majority of Lira products.
Usually monthly...but sometimes every couple of weeks if you are more oily or the opposite....once every 3 months...Depends. Your Estie will recommend what is best for your personal skin:))
Nerida Joy Thank you, Thank you very much bse i have tried alll ALLLL Products iam very tired 😧 just about to just peel off the skin. My mom died 😢 last December from GallBladder cancer so four 2 yrs i have been her caregiver quitting my job and also the funeral so iam alread cash strapped just asking for samples basically just tired and depressed so thank you, hope it dont cost much.
Nerida Joy i went to sephora qnd got the mini/ travel sizes is First Aid Beauty skin care cleanser with their facial radiance pads are they are ok? (i really hope its okay bse it would be cash wasted) i dont wear makeup so i really need my face to look flawless.
Yep, I have one on my check and upper arm. Had them for years and wish they would develop a way of closing them without cutting :( I have to say, I have tried strong peels..... nothing has worked up to date....keep praying!
I am using the rejuvi q flavonoid..... a great antioxidant that is loaded with nutrients for the skin. It assists in the absorption of vitamin C so they go hand-in-hand:))
I agree with everything you said except the sunscreen number. Anything over 30 doesn’t work. It’s to make the consumer feel better.Two of my friend’s are dermatologists. I also have two nurses & a Dr in my family. & they all say the same family. It does nothing at all after SPF 30. Nice facial though!
I just love her accent. I rewatch videos just to listen to her speak.

I love watching your videos....very informative...i suffer from facial warts and have been wanting to get rid of them...any suggestions?? Id appreciate any feedback :)
Are they small clear ones alone the jaw line? how long have you had them? as they are easy to spread and get worse with using scrubs etc.
I need his questions answered lol! Love you Nerida! 😘
Hi beautiful xo
What sunscreen do you recommend for hormonal acne? Thank you again for all of your time and help!
I like the mineral makeup colorscience ...they have powder spf 50 that is great if you are oily without surface dryness. They have a liquid also and then the rejuvi line has a tinted and non tinted non-comeodegenic one I love also:))
I'm attending beauty school and learning about the skin which so far I'm loving it. Always wanted to go to beauty but life got in the way so finally doing it. What do you think of high frequency machines?
It is a good tool to have. Just do not combine it in a facial treatment if you are using AHA's.....together they can burn the skin:)
Hi Nerida! I love your videos! I was wondering what your thoughts are on cleansing devices like the Clarisonic? Thank you for everything you do and keep on being awesome :)
Clarisonic's are good in moderation. Not great for a dry sensitive skin though

Either one or both can work. Depends on whether they are over the counter, cosmeceutical strength or prescription strength brand?
What do you call a prescription retinol? In what percentage?
Thank you so much for your wonderful and educational videos.

Hi, I am currently learning to do facials, am wondering do you keep the steamer going throughout the service? If so is it just for a client with enlarged pores or everyone.
usually everyone, but no steam if my client has a lot of internal heat or if I am using products that are stimulating :)
well I've been using tretenoin 0.025% for 2 months every day and I'm having the best skin of my life. also I'm dark skinned maybe that helps?
love these videos. Quick question. what's the best way to get rid of blackheads on the nose and chin?
Keep your skin clean with cleansing twice at night ...first cleanse use a warm wet wash cloth and exfoliate every week. Just about everyone has blackheads in their T-zone area. But by keeping the skin clean at least you will be able to keep them under control and your pores small.
We mostly all have them..... but keeping them small requires good cleansing and exfoliation.....as seen in my videos:))
This is a very informative video. ❤ Can you use niacinamide and over the counter retinol together? Or niacinamide and aha/bhas?
Depends on the brands...usually its niacin amides and ahas.....but it depends on each brands formula:))
I hear what you’re saying in regard to retinol etc, but can you do a video that’s gives us examples of good night serums etc with retinol? Thank you Nerida!
The rejuvi retinol is great. They have a light cream and an amazing serum>>>love them both:)
Nerida, what do you think about an extractor took with a lance on it. Sometimes I get a cystic pimple or very large ones and I can't stand it. I know I probably shouldn't pop it, but when I can tell it's actually ready to be popped, instead of just applying pressure and causing a dermal explosion, should you poke the blemish with a lance or needle type device to make a small hole first to allow the sebum to drain? Also, how often do you recommend doing exfoliation with the AHA's/buffing effect cleansers? Thank you for the help.
Hi Deanna,
Because we aestheticians in California are not allowed to use lancets I am not able to tell you what to do here. I am not saying it is right or wrong just that I am not able to recommend this. As for exfoliation, if you are more oily 2 or 3 times a week in summer is generally good. Winter 1 or 2 times :)
As always thank you such must Nerida. You are so helpful to your subscribers.
Hey, please can you tell what type creams have Retinals in it? How would you know if it has in it? Thank you!!
Retinol.... is in many many products. Also, Jordan Samuel skin has one that is great
Where did you purchase those extractors? My girlfriend is an esthetician and I want to tell her about those ones :)
Hi Miguel, You can pick them up at a beauty supply store or aesthetics wholesaler :))
Hi Nerida, can you recommend a good retinol for use nightly but for a slightly sensitive skin? Thank you! You are an inspiration!
What brands do you like for your skin?
Nerida Joy I like natural vegan products.
You could try the REN Bio Retinoid ..... also reach out to Jordan Samuel Skin as he has a great retinol also
I loved this! both of you are so lovely. I wish I knew what that brownish flavinoid product was?
Arnica, vitaminC, licorice extract, Ivy and mallow extract all feed the skin and support it:))
Do you recommend product with just 1 or 2 of the ingredients or product with 3 - 4 of them?! I'm asking because I'm currently using a Vit C serum daily every AM do I need more of the ingredients??
doesn't matter so much if you are feeling it is working:)
Lovely video! I'm curious about using a retinol every night (low strength), do you suggest using various strengths and brands every night or stick to one strength? I use a few different products and brands...
Also, what are your thoughts on chemical peels, the VI Peel in particular.
Hi there,
You could use a couple of different, it depends on your skin. I would say whatever makes your skin look great without irritation and dryness .
I also like some chemical peels for certain skin types and concerns. I do not like chemical peels for dryer aging skin long term but I do like them for a more oily skin with larger pores and scaring.
Nerida Joy thank you so much for the response and I appreciate it! Your thoughts on chemical peels make sense too. I think I just wanted to try it bc it's the new/cool thing. I have to realize I'm not cool and don't need my 40 year old skin peeling off! Ha
New subbie too!
Just keep up your daily regimen and add booster every so often. Its what you every day that keeps your skin great :))
OMG Jordan, how did you even formulate a sentence during that scalp massage?!?
ScentHive Trish hahahaha. I said to my husband I'm surprised I actually made sense. :)
Seriously put me in a trance just watching!!
lol
Hi Nerida I just subscribed to your channel I am beauty therapist student and your videos are very helpful I think is nice you don't show the brand you are using but if we ask would you recommend any product like sunscreen? Thanks xoxo
I like mineral sunscreens like the colorscience brand and the rejuvi facial sunblock :))
Nerida Joy thank you very much for taking the time to reply you are so sweet and I am learning a lot from you, thank you xoxo
Hi Nerida , i love your video it very education . I have questions to ask it about exfoliate . i have combination to oily skin , acne and my skin easy irritation from sun if i walk under sun without hat my face feel like it burn slightly .

Nerida Joy thank you Nerida
Asians skin are usually sensitive.
What are you using for the flavonoids for the skin?
VitaminC/arnica/licorice extract..... mostly:))
Are there any specific sunscreens you would recommend or say stay away from?
Use mostly physical sunblocks that contain titanium and zinc. Or mineral sunblocks like the brand colorscience or La Bella Donna:))
Which brand retinol over the counter you used and recommend?
there are many..... rejuvi and Jordan Samuel skin is a good start
Can you please share some good products for retinol and aha or ingredients to look for and avoid
please email educateyourskin@gmail.com for a list of good retinol and ahas products:))
Hi, I have a quick question regarding retinol. What percentage is considered a prescription strength prescription? I was prescribed .05% a few years ago but stopped using it because it started to bother my skin. Thank you!!
I am not sure as it changes and varies in different countries.Where do you live?
I live in the US on the east coast
If you are buying it from a doctor.... it probably prescription strength. Use an over the counter as you already know you are sensitive to it:) You can try a sample of the rejuvi a night gel retinol.... see what you think:) Email monique at educateyourskin@gmail.com
Ive heard you mention Murad. Do you have an opinion of the Retinol Youth Renewal serum? I work at a massage envy. Is one retinol better than another when no strength is listed.
Its all about the formula, its lipoceutical vehicle and what it is combined with. Murad is a safe line...not too strong generally. Within all product lines there are good products and some maybe not so great. And, everyone is different so some will love the product and others not. I have not used this particular retinol product so i am not sure, but I usually like to put retinol on the skin after a serum as a buffer:))
Can you give some Drugstore sunscreen recommendation for acne prone skin
Colorscience, Jane Iredale or La Bella Donna mineral powder sunscreen is best for acne. Its healing and matte:)) Maybe not drugstore style.... buts its what is best...
Hi, ms joy! When you talk about buffering, what does that mean. 😩 please help
Diluting the product i.e. glycolic acid will be more buffered in a cream form then a serum or gel. Or, if you are referring to the buffering of the skin, I mean absorbing dead cells rather then harsh scratchy granules.
I was wondering if a serum decreased the efficacy of retinols. Good to know that isn't the case. Although, I prefer to use a serum daytime and do retinol at night. My question is regarding salicylic acid and retinols. Can they be used together? Don't they do the same thing? Exfoliation?
I have acne prone skin and all these products I'm trying to figure out which order to use them all. Salicylic acid toner, benzoil peroxide lotion, retinol, and vitamin C serum. The acne products are very drying so I'm not using them 2x a day anymore.
Yes, they both exfoliate but are different in how they work on the skin. They can sometimes be used together, but some skins tolerate one better then the other....depends. The items you listed are too strong all together. What is your cleanser? tell me the brand names of what you are using.... I will get back to you after that
I'm using Paula's Choice pore normalizing cleanser, and her acne products; toner 2% salicylic acid, & the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide lotion. The new additions are the vitamin C&E serum with hyaluraonic acid by Yeouth, & Lillyana Naturals I think 2% retinol. I use a light nightime moisturizer, and one with sunscreen during the day, but they don't seem to have much effect on surface dryness. I would say my face is dry and flaky as the day goes, but also really oily at the same time.
I must thank your for your face washing tips on here. I've changed the way I wash my face and I think that helps.
You need to get back to basics..... what you have is too strong all together. A dry outer layer will not allow for the oil to escape underneath. So you will always have a problem with your skin.
You could try the rejuvi K cleanser, healing gel, g aha serum and the b lotion. Get the exfoliating mask also. When you have these products let me know so I can tell you how to use them njskincare@aol.com :))
Can retinols be used on sensitive skin?
Some sensitive skins yes..... very thin skins possibly not. It depends because you can layer them over serums.... and some retinols are very mild. NEVER prescription strength :))
Is a buffing product like a physical scrub? Do you recommend niacinamide for skin? What about bha acid exfoliation for oily breakout skin?
buffering is when a aha or retinol is put into a cream texture to cut back on its intensity. A cream is more buffered then a gel for example. Niacinamides are great but not for people that have thyroid issues or have heat within the body...(people that cannot tolerate tomatoes/spicy foods/alcohol) and possibly sensitivity to B vitamins, niacinamides could be an issue also.
Is aha ok in toner/liquid form? And retinol
In oil? That’s good to know about niacinamide. I can’t do spicy food so I maybe shouldn’t use it
I am not a toner fan....aha in toners can be drying....it depends on the brand. Retinol in oil can be fine though:)
microneedling has become popular here in Ireland what do you think of this treatment ? love your videos and the fact that they aren't about brand names of products.😊
Microneedling is popular here too, but understand that it stimulates collagen by causing Trama to the skin. Retinol's and AHA's stimulates collagen WITHOUT creating scar tissue and dulling skin tone.
Gosh thanks for replying. I totally agree gently gently is the best approach to our skin so that it works at an optimal level. I have trained with Guinot they use a galvanic and high frequency machine I've seen great results with that. I love learning about the skin is so fascinating what percentage of retinol would you recommend to look for in a product and are they safe to use on a celtic skin which is prone to broken capillaries we see a lot of that skin type in Ireland 😊
Hi Sandra, Over the counter retinol will not go into to percentages and you could buffer with a non retinol serum prior that supports the little blood vessels :))

Hi Nerida, thank you for the great video,
so I have always had oily skin and just recently I started taking Accutane pills to help with my acne, which made my skin very very dry and I am just not used to taking care of dry skin so can you please give me a couple of tips that can help me out?
Love
Non foaming gel or cream cleanser and a light non comodegenic moisturizer and a hydrating eye gel :))
Oh that's great, thank you so much
Hello Nerida,
Could you please recommend a good retinol product for me (26 years old) given that I have rosacea and I use an acid lotion (P50 PIGM 400 and P50W) morning and night?
Also, could you please confirm whether I have understood correctly that microcurent devices damage the capillaries? I use a semi professional hand tool that stimulates the facial muscles (xtreem pro if you know it)
Thank you much! your answer would be very appreciated!
No, not all micro-curent damages capillaries. But microdermabrasion is not good for capillaries because of its suction. Recommending a retinol is difficult without seeing your skin. But with all retinols you need to layer over a serum. I speak a lot about the q flavonoid which supports capillaries ..... so i would recommend layering. Rejuvi is a great skin care treatment line with retinols also, but you have to layer:))
Thank you so much for your reply!
I do layer a number of serums (3 water based from biologique recherché ) and a hyaluronic one on top before my moisturiser, as well as a finishing serum (BR as well) on top of my moisturiser.
Given the extend of layering, would you recommend starting with a retinol cream at night or to introduce a retinol based serum (i am looking into purchasing the rejuvi one if its not too strong).
and lastly, where do the flavonoid and the retinol (if its a serum) come in the layering order?
Thank you so much! I am so sad I do not live in US and I am unable to come to you for a treatment!
Sounds like a lot of serums.... maybe 2 would be max for me just because your diluting the more you layer. I would use a retinol cream over the serum and the q you could put on as first or second serum or mix the two would be ideal:))
Thanks a lot! I will definitely follow the advice. I understand it should be a night time routine? and no retinol and q complex during the day?
And just to double check, cause I've been told otherwise, p50 can be used in conjunction with the retinol?
Yes, PM :)) not AM
Suggestions for dark eye circles and keratosis pilaris
Try eye gels and serums that contain arnica, licorice extract, pearl powder and mallow. As for KP.... glycolic pads on your upper arms or lower face. Its a sensitivity to sugar ..... maybe you have a little hyperglycemia .... eat frequently and lower your sugar intake :)
Hyperglycemia. Eat 3 balance meal of quality protein and low carbs. 2 snacks both with balance of protein and low carbs. Low carbs such as fresh vegetables and low sugar fruits such as berries in moderation. Enjoy lots of water and/or green teas.
I am still breastfeeding and have very dry skin because of it. What products can I use to help with my dry skin that are safe to use while breastfeeding?
Shea butter..... it can be found as a main ingredient in many skin care products.
What is a buffer affect?
Buffering of the skin..... polishing....smooth outer layer
I love how she says "pore" 🤣
Please do more videos and please show actual extractions comedones closed & open and pustules 🙏🏽👍🏼
Is it safe to use Retinol when you suffer from broken capillaries?
Josie Limon I think using retin a made mine worse idk for sure but I'm willing to bet 😬
Yes, it is safe if you are using a mild buffered retinol. Many brands have mild retinol and always apply a serum that supports your capillaries first i.e. one that may contain arnica or vitamin C.
Some brands could make it worse, depending on its strength
How about vitamin k product to strengthen weak capillaries?
yes :)) its all part of the flavonoid family
With skin sensitivity to silicones/dimethicones and algae, I have had a difficult time finding both an SPF and a good exfoliant without these ingredients that won't make my skin worse. Aside from staying away from the sun like a vampire, is there anything that someone with these sensitivities to seemingly everything on the market can do?
Have you tried true mineral makeup brands for you high SPF like color science unforgettable SPF 50. Its great, healing and non comedogenic
try the rejuvi exfoliating mask with papaya and lemon peel powder also. Keep me posted :))
+Nerida, Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will try the Rejuvi, as it does not seem to contain ingredients that I have found myself to have allergic reactions to. Sadly, the Color Science Sunforgettable SPF 50 contains 2 forms of Dimethicone, plus algae in the form of Coralina officinalis. It is frustrating to know that I should be protecting my skin, but my skin does not seem to agree with that philosophy. ;)
Please keep me mind of you ever come across a magical SPF that might work for me.
Regards,
Jennifer
hi .if a client has visible capillaries on her skin does that mean she has sentitive skin ?
Mostly, but not always> it does however mean that their skin is likely thinner and fine in texture
Whilst I very much enjoyed the video, is there any rigorous scientific evidence that retinol cream works better than a moisturising placebo? If it's less than prescription strength, doesn't that mean that it isn't pharmaceutically-active and doesn't need to be regulated? I would love to be convinced otherwise (maybe someone could link me to a paper?) thanks!
Read up on the newbeauty site.... they offer information on this:)
What about using salicylic acid in conjunction with retinol? I've noticed sometimes my face will itch, especially around my brows and forehead and the top of my cheeks underneath my eyes. Also, Jordan has beautiful teeth ;)
Buffer with a serum. You just don't want to dry the outer skin too much with retinol and salicylic as you might end up with a little topical eczema
Thanks so much for replying, gorgeous lady! I'll be sure to layer a serum before retinol creme. I know you're not brand specific but I'm currently using a majority of Lira products.
How many time for weeks we should have facial......
Usually monthly...but sometimes every couple of weeks if you are more oily or the opposite....once every 3 months...Depends. Your Estie will recommend what is best for your personal skin:))
Am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam, for curing my Candida albican overgrowth within 14days, with he's natural supplement🌿🌿
What are your thoughts on salicylic acid
It is great, but it it depend on, in what? and with what? ( the formula) It's not for everybody:))
Why isn’t it for everyone and how can we know if it’s working or for us
Is your skin responding in a positive way? or is it not and just surface dry?
WHAT PRODUCTS/cleansers TO USE FOR SURFACE?????? DRYNESS
rejuvi k or o cleanser and the exfoliating mask for 3 minutes...wash off
Nerida Joy Thank you, Thank you very much bse i have tried alll ALLLL Products iam very tired 😧 just about to just peel off the skin. My mom died 😢 last December from GallBladder cancer so four 2 yrs i have been her caregiver quitting my job and also the funeral so iam alread cash strapped just asking for samples basically just tired and depressed so thank you, hope it dont cost much.
Nerida Joy i went to sephora qnd got the mini/ travel sizes is First Aid Beauty skin care cleanser with their facial radiance pads are they are ok? (i really hope its okay bse it would be cash wasted) i dont wear makeup so i really need my face to look flawless.
I am so sorry Sheila, first aid beauty is definitely hydrating.... xo.
more about whiner pores please, i think i recently developed on cheeks im 24 and they make me want to cry
Yep, I have one on my check and upper arm. Had them for years and wish they would develop a way of closing them without cutting :( I have to say, I have tried strong peels..... nothing has worked up to date....keep praying!
Can anyone recommend a good esthetician (like Nerida!) in Brisbane Australia?
Try contacting Ella Bache head office in Sydney and ask them..... they may be able to help
How can I find someone like you near me?
where do you live Enrique?

is vitamin C a bioflavinoid ? Is that what she's usng?
I am using the rejuvi q flavonoid..... a great antioxidant that is loaded with nutrients for the skin. It assists in the absorption of vitamin C so they go hand-in-hand:))
Everything start from the gut specailly young people hormans affect the skin. I like to explain that.
I agree with everything you said except the sunscreen number. Anything over 30 doesn’t work. It’s to make the consumer feel better.Two of my friend’s are dermatologists. I also have two nurses & a Dr in my family. & they all say the same family. It does nothing at all after SPF 30. Nice facial though!
