Im getting the The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA 30ml, but im 14 can i still use it?

@crewbarfun 3 года назад

what to use AM and what to use PM. As far as I understand The Ordinary products Retinol and lactic acid or any other acids shouldn’t be used at same time. Most of this products shouldn’t be used together. You should clarify what to use on daily bases, you just throw the list and let sisters burn their faces :( For your subscriber: Am: Clean your face, apply Niacinamide & zinc serum first. Mix 100% square line serum with moisturizer and apply. (You can use vitamin C which is ascorbic acid in days when you are not using Niacinamide) PM: apply 100% square-line on to clean skin, apply 0,2% retinol and follow with moisturizer. Do not use Lactic acid with Retinol ever.

Very good info, with the exception of the Squalene I am using all of these in addition to Finacea azelaic acid15% and Altreno tretanoin 0.05% to help with hormonal acne caused PIH and anti-aging. The Ordinary is a great and affordable back up to the prescription drugs, I use their retinol .5% on my neck, upper chest and the back of my hands. The lactic acid 10% once a week and the salicylic mask once a week keep my pores nice and clear!

@eobrien1 3 года назад

Hi April, great video! I was wondering - is squalane also used as an occlusive (albeit a lighter one) in addition to being an emollient in formulations? One that can pull double duty, kinda like Shea butter? My face moisturizer (the new Vanicream one) doesn’t seem to have the other traditional occlusives, so I guess it must be the squalane?

@AprilBasi 3 года назад

Yes, it is! squalane is an occulsive/emollient which helps seal hydration in the skin, among other benefits!

Hi first of all thank you so much for this informative video it really helped me figure out what products i should definetely look into. I would also want to ask a question though. So I have severe hyperpigmentation on the sides of my feet, my knees and my elbows and I was wondering if the products will work on those areas and also which one of these products is the best for fastly and effectivly getting rid of it :))

@so.many.obstacles 2 года назад

I use lactic acid for that. I even use it on the heels of my feet to keep them soft. Keep in mind you have to be patient. Hyperpigmentation is not something that you get get rid of over night. Being consistent and preventing hyperpigmentation is key so you’re not working backwards to get rid of it.

One in squalene and the other in an emulsion. Idk which one to get 😖

@@Lannie25 I used this because my forehead was full of bumps and it sucked and some acne on my right cheek area. It really helped to clear those bumps on my forehead and rest of my skin and then I started being more aware of my skin routine. I never stopped using it for a while because I felt it helped and it seemed that when I would stop, I would need to make a purchase but I don’t have money like that and paid for it myself so I had to stop. I went to Japan for a bit and I ran out of it, (they don’t deliver out of country) my skin still looked clear and healthy for the most part and then suddenly something triggered a massive breakout that has been hard to get rid of. I got back to curology when I came back to US and I’m using it now and it has kind of helped a bit but not cleared up all the way. I hope you find some result. I will say though that my forehead has never gone back to the way it used to be and I’m grateful for that! My younger sister did a trial and it seems she got the exact same like portions and subscribed thing as I did and I got a bit confused because her skin is so clear compared to mine so I wonder if they prescribe the same like dosage to everyone? I don’t know. My biggest goal now is to have my skin nice without being dependent on it and with less expensive longer lasting products if you know what I mean :). Sorry this is so lengthy, ask me any questions you might have since I have used it for a long while, I have some experience with it 👍🏾

Hey, I was wondering if it was ok to use retinol 0.2 with salycic acid masque or ascorbic acid/alpha arbutin.

@AprilBasi 3 года назад

Hi Gabriel...retinol and salicylic acid could cause skin irritation...unless you have tough skin...if not combining with vit c/alpha arbutin might be a better combination :)

@gabrielnm2042 3 года назад

@@AprilBasi Thanks for the answer. Is there better option than salicylic acid if i need to prevent breakout/pimples that darken my skin ?

@AprilBasi 3 года назад

@@gabrielnm2042 yes you can try products containing benzoyl peroxide or even willow bark extract which is a plant-derived form of salicylic acid :)

Out of Alpha Abrutin and Lactic Acid, which one is best?

@AprilBasi 3 года назад

so those serve 2 completely different purposes on the skin. alpha arbutin per my video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PZRTDiTtKBQ.html is a plant-derived form of hydroquinone which is the gold standard when it comes to skin brightening. Lactic acid per my video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rnbAwkI-ibY.html is an alpha hydroxy acid. It's a chemical exfoliator that helps reduce dead skin cells on the surface of the skin to help prevent acne...so I can't tell you which one is best as they work differently.

Did you say lighten? As in changing your skin color? Are you just referring to lighten hyperpigmentation or like bleaching?

Idk , my mom is a Medical esthetician (so not beauty) but she said that the best way to tell if someone is legit or not is if they overly recommend hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most overrated skin humectant apparently , glycerin does everything is does and better My mom was so upset when the ordinary mixed their lactic acid solution with HA instead of glycerin, she though they would’ve known better

Agree with your mom ❣️

If you are going to use AHA's, work your way up. Start with a Mandelic Acid toner, much larger molecules which will mean much less damage to your pores.

I’m soooo confused... i grew up homeless and without family and only in my 30s am I learning.. and getting to do things like this and even knowing they exist...! I’m really really confused though.. there was a lot of mention about hyper pigmentation.. I don’t really get that.. I’ve never really worn make up and also because I hardly had money - water was the only option lol so my skin is pretty cool... I guess I’m wondering what to use to maintain.. I have some dark marks on my neck (PCOS In grown hairs which I now thread) .. but at the moment just wanna smooth out the lines between my nose and mouth.. and just have healthier skin... So I still use these things or do I use something else? I’m in my early 30’s... and honestly I’m a complete baby at all this Thanks for having channels dedicated to US DSBW ❤️❤️❤️ helps sooo much and also actually weirdly gives you confidence that you exist!
