I love you melissa! Please do not get tired of teaching us ❤ thank you very much and we love you! Please stay safe ❤
Thank you, I will. And the same goes for you 🥰
This is very helpful. Thank you Melissa.
Glad it was helpful!🥰
Thank you Melissa
Very informative 💕
Hey Wendy!🥰
I hope that all is well!
Lots of love ❤❤
Useful ❤️❤️
Thank you melissa! I am going to try this morning and night routine and hopefully it clears my acne before school!
It will make a difference, but if I had to add something, I would say reduce "regular" sugar intake, avoid sprayed fruit (very important) and reduce dairy intake (primarily milk). That makes a massive difference for me, along with skincare products. And I am not sure yet to what degree it helps over the long haul. But something to consider!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I appreciate it I will keep that in mind.
@@dansbigg8190 do it and just do not keep it in mind 🤪
Very informative❤
Glad it was helpful!🥰
I recently started this routine on my acne prone skin ... Thank you for this informative video.
Glad it was helpful!🥰
Let me know how it goes! :)
How’s its going now?
At starting i get many pimples.... But now it starts to clear.... I can see the difference.... But my face is getting tooo much oilier and sensitive.
@@tejaswinigaikwad1999 What else do you use besides a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser and Differin Gel?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Cetaphil moisturizer
I totally agree about the moisturizer. I really really don't need it with my oily skin and it makes me look even more shiny, I've never seen any benefit from using so I stopped. I like your idea about the hydrating toner, I'm going to try that instead.
Hey! :)
Yes, that's why I switched to something lighter to still hydrate the skin but not overload/coat it with a moisturizer.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial if you use a light gel moistrizer would it sort of be the same as a hydrating toner and would it also give less of a shiny aswell as the benefits of not using a heavy moisturizer
@@power1806 Well, the best would be to just use a hydrating toner, essence or serum. If you have oily skin, your skin lacks hydration but not oil. So, if you can go with a toner, otherwise, look for a very light gel-moisturizer.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I see so best case scenario would be to use a toner essence serum also sorry to bother but does this mean you dont use a moisturizer at all what do you do for example if u want a glowly look just curious for u personally
Hello Melissa thank you for your informative video. I was researching on differin and panoxyl and came across your video. Would it be alright if I use both panoxyl and differin at night ? For example, can I wash my face with panoxyl and then put differin and then moisturizer ? Also, should I do this routine every single day if it’s alright or do it every other day since I have heard it’s better to use the differin every other day. Or should I use differin one day and panoxyl the next day?
Yes, it is possible to use benzoyl peroxide and adapalene together, as they are both topical acne medications that work in different ways. Benzoyl peroxide is an antibacterial agent that helps to reduce the amount of P. acnes bacteria on the skin, while adapalene is a retinoid that helps to unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
It's generally recommended to start using adapalene and benzoyl peroxide once a day, at night and in the morning respectively, and then gradually increase the frequency of use as your skin becomes accustomed to it. The goal is to use the lowest concentration and frequency of use that effectively controls your acne.
Hi Melissa I am wondering can I use vitamin c booster, niacinimide booster, and 10% azeleyic acid altogether and there all from Paulaus choice. I was wondering if I can use all of these in my night time routine or if that is too much or if I should use one in the morning or what would you recommend
Hey! :)
According to Paula's Choice, yes. Layer one product after the other. This can work. However, there is still some controversy about Niacinamide and Vitamin C. So, test it. If you do not see any benefits, keep those two in separate routines.
Hi! I love your videos
I am planning to buy panoxyl, differin gel, cerave gentle skin cleanser, snail mucin, vitamin c serum, and a moisturizer.
Can you recommend the best routine I can use for these products to help with my acne?
Hey! :)
See here:
Acne Routine: ua-cam.com/video/zq9w8rd8rd8/v-deo.htmlsi=AJH-nMHIieOltjKp
Snail Essence: ua-cam.com/video/nTg8hrEQIvM/v-deo.htmlsi=dX_VRHOov4z_W_SD
Also, make sure to use a gentle hydrating foaming cleanser instead of CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. While these treatments can help reduce active acne and should fade dark spots over time, it's important to address the root cause of your acne. If you take a look at my community tab, you'll gain a better understanding of what I'm referring to. Personally, I believe that stress, including emotional stress, and diet play important roles in acne.
What retinAL or retinol do you consider to be the most life changing or did show fastest result in ur case ?
I haven't used them side by side (split face study) so, I'm not sure.
The video above is basically my routine so, I'm mainly using Differin Gel.
Hey melissa, i want to have a moisturiser instead of serum. Which one should i use as a moisturiser for oily skin
Hey! :)
Have a look at a gel moisturizer (something lightweight). I often hear people talking about Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Moisturizer or Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer. Or, if you want to rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier, have a look at The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors :)
Hi Melissa, thank you for the video! I’ve been using differin gel since May 19 but I am still struggling with acne and we don’t have panoxyl in my country. What cleanser should I use?
Hey! :)
Do you have access to another 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser? Online, Drugstore or at a Pharmacy?
Also, consider changing your diet (less sugar and dairy intake) and maybe even stress...
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you for answering! To be honest, I just started taking care of my skin so I don’t have much knowledge when it comes to this 🥺 I live in Turkey and we have CeraVe and La Roche Posay here. Other than that, I’ve searched online and went to the pharmacy but It doesn’t seem like we have this in my country :( or maybe I can’t find it 🥺
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi again, I decided to google it in english and search for sites that could ship the product to Turkey. I found a website called “Ubuy”, I guess I will order it from there, I hope they don’t send a fake product 😂
@@eceylmaz4260 Yes, it depends on the country. It is not available in every country in Europe for shipping or buying. But usually, you can get it through Iherb or Amazon stores in the US (which is currently so damn expensive that it is not worth it).
La Roche Posay also has a Benzoyl Peroxide treatment it is called "Effaclar Duo Acne Spot Treatment," but only available in the US (I think).
Did you ask the salesperson in your pharmacy because sometimes he can give you a treatment also over the counter? Some spot treatments are available in my country, but you have to ask him. If not, you likely need a prescription or order it through the website you mentioned. (If it is trustworthy) But overall, I think that there are not many fake products around, but it is often older stock that these companies are selling or that it has some little errors on the packaging so that it cannot be sold in some countries anymore. Still, be careful.
Hi! Thanks for the information!
I need to know if I’m doing the right thing 🥹
Morning routine:
Panoxyl cleanser
Vitamin C Garnier
Biore Sunscreen
Evening routine
Panoxyl
Glycolic acid toner
Cerave PM moisturiser
I have an acne-prone type skin 🥹
Thanks in advance ! 😍
Hey! :)
For how long have you been doing this routine? How's it going so far?
What % of Benzoyl Peroxide do you use?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi I started this 2 weeks ago. I use the 10% one
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial well I can see that my dark spots from acne are becoming red like but not itchy nor painful.
@@__justLeslie Hmm...I don't think that this is going to end well. It will probably irritate your skin when doing this for much longer.
I recommend using your BP cleanser in the AM and a Gentle/Regular Cleanser in the PM. Also, you need to adjust the frequency of your Glycolic Acid. Start with 2-3 times per week and slowly increase the frequency.
Do you experience dry skin?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I don’t experience having a dry skin. Thank you! 😍
Can i use the Panoxyl 10% Benzoyl Cleasner in the morning then during the night time , i use another soft cleanser with Diffren Gel?
Yes, but as I said in the video, the 10% was very irritating for me, and I couldn't use it that often. But you can do that if it works for you. I can't help you much; you need to test it.
I’m confused what about the moisturizers? can I use that before the sunscreen for the AM and after the differin gel for PM? Because my skin gets dry
The toner, essence, or serum is your moisturizer, and your sunscreen also should contain Hydrating ingredients (especially if you follow my routine).
But what are you currently using? 🤔
Is the differin gel good for closed comedones? Thanks!
yes, a retinoid should help!
I wash with benzoyl in the morning. Then at night too but I follow up with niamincide serum then with the differin gel. Last I moisturizer. Will the benzoyl counter act the differin gel, thanks?
Yes, that's fine as long as this combination isn't irritating to your skin😊
As I mentioned in the video, I can't do this because it's too strong for me.
Also, you are using a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser which you are going to wash off anyway, so there aren't any conflicts :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks your response.
Hi Melissa! Can my skin purge because I use benzoyl peroxide wash(10%) and differin gel in the same routine? Will my skin purge if i just started to use panoxyl wash?
Hello :)
Yes, it can, and it probably will. But nothing to worry about. If it becomes too much, just reduce the frequency. And my advice is to use the 4% Benzoyl Peroxide. You will get the same results and less irritation. Also, don't leave it on for too long; the 5 minutes that some recommend is way too much, especially if you do it more often, so keep that in mind.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much Melissa!
and also my skin is getting darker … i am using purest niacinamide and adapalene 0.1 percent at night but i dont know what they are doing.
Okay, so what does your skincare routine look like? Could you please list all the products you use, including cleanser, sunscreen, etc.?
Hi should I take a day to exfoliate while using these products
When using such products, you can see flaky skin, not necessarily dry skin, but flakes that have not yet let go of the skin. In that case, you can use a gentle scrub or muslin cloth from time to time to remove them. When removing them, yes, give your skin a break from the other products and add hydration to the skin :)
What if I don’t cleanse in the morning because I already have dry skin? Can I use panoxyl one night then adapelene the other?
Yes
Hi @Mellisa, I hope you would notice my comment.
I have been using the PanOxyl and Differin together.
I wash with PanOxyl in the morning then cerave moisturizing cream.
Then at night I use PanOxyl again then apply Differin adapalene gel.
2 months and im still having cystic pimples and some breakouts.
I should separate them like what you said in the video right? Please need advice.
Hey! :)
What strength of Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser do you use? As demonstrated in the video, yes, I recommend using them in separate routines. Also, I don't think you need CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream - that's way too heavy. Either use a hydrating toner, essence, or serum to keep your skin hydrated, or look for a lightweight gel or gel-to-cream moisturizer like The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan or Geek & Gorgeous Hydration Station, or Neutrogena's Hydro Boost.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial my goodness , thank you for noticing my comment.
I use the Panoxyl Cream 4% Benzoyl Peroxide.
May I ask why the Cerave Moisturizing Cream is way to heavy? I have always though i should use a moisturizer :(
@@Jur2993 I assume you have combination to oily skin, don't you?
And not all moisturisers are the same.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is formulated with a rich texture. However, it can be too heavy for individuals with combination or oily skin, potentially leading to a greasy feel or exacerbating acne by clogging pores. The effects can be further intensified when used in conjunction with Differin (Adapalene).
Adapalene has the ability to make the skin more sensitive and initially dry, as it accelerates the turnover of skin cells. Therefore, pairing it with a heavy moisturizer might intensify the skin's sensitivity. This could result in irritation, redness, or even an increase in oil production and this may lead to clogged pores.
For these reasons, I recommend using a lighter, non-comedogenic product such as a toner, serum, or moisturizer. These types of hydrators or moisturizers can effectively hydrate the skin without contributing to oiliness or the potential for clogged pores.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial you are correct. I will follow you advise. Thank you so much for this Melissa. I really appreciate it
Hi, thank you so much for recommending this video.
I've a question please. Can I go for the following routine? My skin is combination to oily and acne prone. Also it's dehydrated so I do need a moisturizer.
1. Cleanser: Penoxyl 4% benzoyl peroxide at AM and CaraVE gentoe cleanser at PM
2. Serum/Exfoliant: The Ordinary Niacinamide at AM and Salicylic acid solution 2% at PM
3. Moisturizer: 100% plant derived sequelne or The Ordinary moisturizer
Or should I add Marine Hyaluronic toner for hydration between cleanser and Niacinamide/Salicylic ?
Well, Marine Hyaluronics is a moisturizer. So it adds hydration to the skin, which is what you need. No need to add anything else for oily skin. But The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors is always a great choice (You can read this if you like: practicaldermatology.com/articles/2012-jul/understanding-the-role-of-natural-moisturizing-factor-in-skin-hydration)
And what gentle cleanser do you use? The foaming one?
Thank you so much for your response.
Well, gentle cleanser could be CeraVE or Cetaphil. Currently I'm using Pula's choice cleanser.
I recently got The Ordinary moisturizer. I didn't start anything yet, so wondering if I still need to incorporate Marine Hyaluronic in the above mentioned routine (referring to my first comment)
@@anumkhan4129 Oh yes, just use a foaming cleanser. That's what I meant don't use a hydrating cleanser.
And I think it is not necessary to add it to the routine since you have other products. I just think it would be the better choice, as I said in the video. But if you already have the other products don't buy it ;)
Sorry for the last question.. so I can begin with the following AM and PM routine finally?
1. AM cleanser: Penoxyl 4% benzoyl peroxide
2. AM serum: The Ordinary Niacinamide
3. AM moisturizer: The Ordinary moisturizer
1. PM cleanser: Any gentle foaming cleanser
2. PM Exfoliater: The Ordinary Salicylic acid solution
3. PM moisturizer: The Ordinary moisturizer
PM cleanser: any gentle foaming cleanser
Can't thank you enough for your time and dedication ❤
@@anumkhan4129 did you mean?
1. AM cleanser: Penoxyl 4% benzoyl peroxide
2. AM serum: The Ordinary Niacinamide
3. AM moisturizer: The Ordinary moisturizer
1. PM cleanser: Any gentle foaming cleanser
2. PM Exfoliater: The Ordinary Salicylic acid solution
3. PM moisturizer: The Ordinary moisturizer
If so, that looks like a great routine! :)
dont you mean the foaming facial cleanser not the hydrating cleanser?
i saw u put the foaming and normal to oily but put hydrating
Yes, you are right! Thank you so much! I'm going to change it and update the Powerpoint! :)
hey, i use different gel during the night. is it fine to use panoxyl during my morning wash? even if i have different gel on my face from the night ?
Hello Janette,
Are you referring to Differin gel, or do you have a different gel? If so, which one do you have?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial differen gel
@@taekim6856 Yes, that's fine :)
Can I add Ordinarys Buffet instead of a Hydrating Essence/Toner/Serum and also Niancimide to this routine in the morning and evening?
Yes you can! :)
Thank you very much ❤
hey … i have 1 pimple on left cheek ..1 on my chin … and 3 one my right chin but they big pimples with white pus inside … i am using bp 3% from a month but everytime new pimple came and leave spot … i dont have so many but the process is continued … i want to use Bp 10% it is good for me??
Well, yes, if you don't identify the cause of your pimples, new ones may continue to appear. The treatment mainly helps in managing them, but it doesn't entirely prevent them. However, increasing to a 10% formulation won't necessarily yield better results, it could just lead to more irritation. You might consider trying a different formulation to see if that works better for you.
Hey Melissa
I truly admire your extensive research
And the way you explain it
I have been benefited already with your ordinary acid serums video
But just wanted to ask
Now I have some pimples because of harmonal issues may b because of PCOD
So I wanted to try 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash
But I don’t know what acid to be used after this face wash because I have
Lactic acid 5%
Hyaluronic acid 2%+B5
Niacinamide 10%+ zinc1%
I also have benzoyl peroxide gel 10%
Let me know if any of these acids one can or cannot use after the face wash
Also in moisturizer I have cetaphil moisturizing cream for very dry to dry sensitive skin variant ( in that niacinamide is present in it)
Thank you for informational content
Keep growing!
Hey! :)
Either use the 10% BP Gel or choose a BP Cleanser. Still, I don't think that you need the 10% one, as the 4%-5% can be just as helpful with way less dryness or irritation.
I wouldn't use Lactic Acid together with Benzoyl Peroxide. However, HA and Niacinamide are fine.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much....this helps!
hii! I came back here just to let you know what happens to my skin after 3 weeks of following your routine.. so far my pimples have worsen up..there are many pustules that developed on my forehead which i dont have when i had not followed your routine.. why is that what had went wrong? any tips?
Hey! :)
Are you following the exact routine?
What BP cleanser do you use?
What strength do you use?
Does your skin feel irritated?
Have you ever used a Benzoyl Peroxide product before?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes these are the products im using:
AM
BP Cleanser: Panoxyl Creamy Wash 4% strength
Toner: Beauty of Joseon ginseng extract water
Sunscreen: (as needed) COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream
PM
Facial Cleanser: Cetaphil gentle cleanser
Adapalene : Differin Gel
additional note:
*im using the BP daily and letting it sit on my skin for about 3-4 mins when im taking a bath
*im mostly a night owl.. my regular sleep is around 11:30PM - 12:30AM does it have an effect on my skin?
thank you for your response
@ZeingriD TV Does your skin feel irritated?
What's your skin type? Since Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser is meant for Dry to Normal skin.
Has anything else changed? Like the weather, your diet, or more stress?
It could be that your skin does not tolerate Benzoyl Peroxide that well, and therefore it's giving your such a reaction - in that case, I recommend trying out a Salicylic Acid Cleanser instead. Still, have you tried using it less often or giving your skin a break to see how your skin responds to Differin Gel alone?
@@zeingridtv3182 yo did it work
Hey dont use BP wash every! Use it 3x a week much better
what about if you will use it in your body? do you have to apply a toner as well after applying benzoyl?
I don't use toner/moisturizer on my body. I just clean it with the cleanser and leave it as it is. Still, if I do it too often, it becomes red/itchy; therefore, I only use it every other day or sometimes skip a few days that works well for me.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial so just a cleanser? you dont use any normal body soap or body wash along with it?
@@zeingridtv3182 I use the Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser in the areas where it is needed. Or are you referring to differin?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i meant to say that if you are also using a normal fragrant body soap or a body wash along with using the benzoyl peroxide on your whole body? i was thinkin it might cause irritation if you use it with fragrant soap.
@@zeingridtv3182 No, in the areas I use the Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser, I do not use a body wash. It is not needed.
Can i use a cleanser that has Salsayic acid in it before adapalene
I use
Morning
Cleanser named (stravill)
Adapalene
Vitamin c
Spf
Night
Panoxyl
Y_axis dark spot correcting glow serum
Mosteruizer (Neutrogena)
Is this routine good? 😢
Well, I covered this in the video. Overall, no, as well as the rest of it.
And I would recommend the following skincare routine:
Morning:
Use Panoxyl.
Pat dry.
Apply Y_axis dark spot correcting glow serum.
Wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Apply SPF.
Night:
Use a mild cleanser.
Pat dry.
Apply adapalene.
Wait a couple of minutes.
Apply moisturizer.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I will thank you very much 🥺❤️
Another question 😅 since I really suffer from dark spots should I use hydroquinone? And if yes how can I incorporate it into this routine
(I know I'm using the dark spot correcting serum but it's not really working for my hyperpigmentation
The only reason I keep using it is because the niacinamide in it is really helping my oliyness)
@@Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa131 Hydroquinone is not a treatment that you should use on your own; it's best to consult a doctor, as improper use can potentially harm the skin. Regarding your usage, how long have you been using the products? It can take several months to see any real improvements. For instance, my freckles and discoloration around the eyes took about a year to fade.
Adapalene is not working on my pimples and it even causes more pimple. What do I do? I wash my face at night and apply adapalaene and leave it on and go to sleep, wash it next morning. What should I do? Should I apply moisturizer.😢😢😢😢 My dermatologist recommended me to use it, but there hasnt been any improvement
For how long have you been using it? Also, have you contacted the doctor again? If not, it might be best to give them a call or schedule another visit so that they can analyze the skin and adjust the treatment accordingly.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 2 months
@@spokemyheart Well, it's not long enough, but still, I would ask for advice from the doctor and tell him that it's not working as intended.
Is benzoyl peroxide wash safe for pregnant women?
I recommend asking your current doctor for the best advice :)
Is it okay not to use hydrating toner?
Yes, that's fine! :)
Don’t you need any moisturizer after applying Differin?
no
Is this routine okey to use as a beginner ?
It primarily depends on how well your skin tolerates the treatments, so it does not matter if you are a beginner or professional if you have not used the products before. So you need to adjust it to your needs. I can't really help you with that 🙁
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Okey understood
.
So one of my cousins was using the Cerave 4% benzoyl peroxide since a year....it does help a lot but not getting long term result........so now she wants to switch to 10% benzoyl peroxide...so will it be Okey??
@@akilarahmanchy9999. No, it will be the same result 10% is just more irritating but not more effective. The thing here is that as long as we do not figure out the reason for our acne, it will return repeatedly. I am still struggling with the same issues even after 5years(just a lot less)! But also be careful with overusing Benzoyl Peroxide as it may cause premature aging when used for too long! So better to have breaks in between and try to change something in your work/life balance or try other treatments that are not as aggressive, maybe tretinoin or just continuing with Adapalene and using Benzoyl Peroxide only when it is really needed!
Can I use a tretinoin instead for the treatment and what toner can I use for the morning routine
The application process might be slightly different, as well as the irritation factor. I think it's better to adjust to tretinoin first before introducing benzoyl peroxide into your routine.
But I use bp as the face wash in the morning and cetaphil cleanser in the evening
@@adeolasanni8547 yes, if it works for you...
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you can I use cerave hydrating toner or which toner can I use
@@adeolasanni8547 Yes, use it after cleansing.
