Hello MIHAELAEU, thanks for the feedback 😃 If you mainly use The Ordinary products, I recommend watching the following videos: The Ordinary Layering: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gMrV5WD8KkA.html The Ordinary For Beginners: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-diaLVk_EsI4.html

Hello Arlette, thank you very much for your lovely comment. I am also a visual learner; I thought it is essential to share the whole process. So really appreciate your feedback 😀

Glad it was helpful!🥰

Thanks again 🍰🥰

🙂

She really does! Finding out about all those acids on the internet I was completely confused but now, due to her videos everything becomes so clearly to my mind!!!

Glad that they are helpful!🥰

She's such an amazing RU-vidr! Her videos are always clear and concise.

Hey! :) Thank you! Keep in mind to keep Glycolic Acid and Tretinoin in separate routines, especially in the beginning to see how your skin tolerates Glycolic Acid! :)

Glad it was helpful!🥰 The peeling solution is a great mask if you know how you should use it and if you know your skin (sensitive or not) 😊

Glad it was helpful!🥰

Glad I could help!❤️

Haha! :) Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that you like my style of skincare videos!❤️

Hey! :) Thank you so much for your lovely words!🥰 This truly made my day because I'm trying to keep my videos as educational & helpful as I can, especially when using The Ordinary products because this can sometimes be quite confusing😉

Mine too!😊

Glad it was helpful!🥰

What do you mean by immediate effect? Glowing?

Hey Katalin, thanks for the lovely feedback. I appreciate it. ❤️🍰❤️

Hello Joudy, thanks for the lovely comment and the kind words ❤️ Sending "virtual" hugs and kisses back ☕️🍰 and some cake&coffee 🤪

Thank you so much! 🥰

Hello, thank you very much for the lovely feedback. And I am happy to help 😃

Out of all the Ordinary Acids, Mandelic Acid is the gentlest as it penetrates slower into the skin and then Lactic Acid 5% would be the second mildest...or using a BHA leave-on exfoliant which is great if you are suffering from blemishes, have sensitive-oil skin😊 But yeah, you can start using the peeling solution for only a few minutes at first before leaving it on the skin for those full 10min so that your skin has time to adjust😊 Glad that I could help😊

Thank you🥰 I'm glad that my videos can help you with the application of the Ordinary products😊

Hey, well no that's why I said high% of acids. Most cleansers have very little to none acids in their (even if they say so). It's mostly marketing. But there are some powerful cleansers on the market that include 2-12% of acids. They may be very irritating. ;)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ahhh okay. Phew, thank gosh! I dodged that bullet. Haha thank you for your response!

Thank you! :)

You're very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!❤️

Welcome aboard! 😉

Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you🥰

Hey Manuel🤗 Thank you!🥰 Yes, that's true like a spa day at home, haha🧖🏼‍♀️ Yeah, it's so important to mention everything about the peeling solution as it is a strong mask - no doubt! Yep, that's the right way to finish it😊

It's only during the same routine. It is because your skin may become sensitive or the pH is too low, and therefore it can burn or sting on the skin, and some products can have a chemical reaction so that they will be less effective. But that is something that I can emphasize a bit more in my videos when doing such a video.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial haha, your video are informative enough already, if viewers need more information, they can always ask you like I did. Really appreciated your reply and attention you pay to these comments. Thanks a lot

🥰

My pleasure 😊

Glad to help! :)

Hey Doreen :) Thank you. Have you seen some great results 🤔?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial First, it does not break me out - my skin breaks out easily if the ingredients are not suitable for my skin, also it makes my skin soft immediately after use.

@@doreencharles2383 Well, that's good!😊 Yes, it does leave the skin so soft and even🥰 For how long have you been using the peeling solution?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial August 1 this year (every Friday) with other The Ordinary products.

@@doreencharles2383 Wow, you used it up pretty quickly; it takes me a few months to empty it. 🤔

You can use it after the peeling solution. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells.

Welcome! 🥰🍰

Thank you so much 😀

Hey, yes you can. Make sure to apply Hyaluronic Acid before Niacinamide :)

Hi Melissa, can I also use the Amino Acids after the Peeling solution after HA, Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutrin? Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! 🙂

You are welcome!

Just keep in mind that these serums are not acne treatments; many people promote it that way, but they can help to some extent since BHA can unclog the pores, and because the solution is making it acidic, the bacteria may have a hard time. But if you are looking for acne treatments, look for Benzoyl Peroxide cleansers or Retinoids (adapalene)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial what AM/PM routine and products do you recommend if you are trying to get rid of acne?!

@@EmmaLouxoxo AM: Differin Cleanser - (Optional) Moisturiser - SPF PM: Gentle Cleanser - Niacinamide - (Optional) Moisturiser

Hello 🤔 hm, that's a good question. Well, I count after I am done with the application, but I have never really thought about that 🤪 , but it doesn't take long to apply it, maybe 1minute. (without talking ;) )

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialHahaha! You're fast with applying it! It takes me like 3 min. 😭🙈😂

@@halcyon2017 Haha, 😀Hurry up 😆🤪 If it takes a bit longer, just start the timer earlier. But generally, there is no harm in leaving it on for a couple of minutes longer ;)

I'm start counting from the first application

Glad you enjoyed it! And happy to help 🥰

The patch test on your arm is mainly there to protect you against any severe side effects, but that does not mean that it can not burn or sting on other areas of your face. Your nerf endings may be more sensitive, and the skin is generally thinner. You can try to use it again; however, if you are sensitive to glycolic acid/lactic acid (which is in there), you may not tolerate it at all. You need to test it, but I wouldn't use it again when it's burning and or stinging.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial So I'm not supposed to feel anything at all? Thank you for replying.

No, that's individual ;)

Yeah, that's fine! Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells.

Thx u so much ☺️ u r ❤️ ....

😃

Hm, it certainly could. Did you avoid the eye area? Also when having such issues and the problem does not go away always consult a professional in your area :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks . 😊 .

Hello Erika, Hm, who said so? They can be mixed because I am doing this every day for about three months now. 😆 I use a cream that includes 4%Benzoyl Peroxide 0,5% Retinol 2% Mandelic Acid, and 2% Lactic Acid. I only used it to spot treat the stubborn pimples/acne that I had on my forehead and chin. It worked pretty well, and it looks like they are not coming back. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do not recommend using them simultaneously, but I used it in the evening. In the morning, I record my videos, and I am using it combined with The Ordinary products. I also used the cream in combination with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid. I avoided mainly the peptides, strong acids, and vitamin c when I applied the cream. So it is working. 😀 I talked about it in this video: The Ordinary Before and After Acne With Pictures 4 Months: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NKi4Psgho_A.html

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial omg thank you so much for the answer 😭♥️

@@erika4449 😀 Well, I hope that I could help you ;) I will publish a detailed video about the cream in a couple of weeks.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️😭

You are so welcome! ❤️

Yes, that's fine! :) However, my best advice is always to keep it as simple as possible after the peeling solution such as using something hydrating/moisturising after.

Can I use cerave pm facial moisturizing lotion after the peeling solution?

@@onyerisylvia3469 yes you can :)

Hey😊 AM Routine: - Cleanse - Hyaluronic Acid - Niacinamide - Natural Moisturizing Factors - SPF PM Routine: - Cleanse - Lactic Acid or Glycolic Acid (one of them and use it 1-3 times per week) - Hyaluronic Acid - Natural Moisturizing Factors PM Routine (1-2 times per week): - Cleanse - Peeling Solution - Hyaluronic Acid - Natural Moisturizing Factors Please do not use the Peeling Solution in the same when using either Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid. Also, do not use Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid in the same routine. The general rule of thumb for order of application is: 1. Water-based serums 2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations 3. Lotions & Creams & suspensions Step 1: Cleanse Step 2: Toner Step 3: Exfoliant Step 4: Serum(s) Step 5: Moisturiser Step 6: SPF (AM) Important: If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration. About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck. Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing." Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!! With any new formulation, some sensitivity or initial redness can be normal. Initial redness upon application is not a cause for concern if it goes away after a few moments. ❤ Niacinamide can be used in conjunction with retinoids sunscreens, hydroxy acids, and other ingredients without concern for cross-reactivity. Please note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. Gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin. How often you should exfoliate depends on your skin type and skin concerns. Some people do well exfoliating with AHA or BHA twice a day, whereas others find that once a day or every other day is a perfect balance. Test to see what works best for your skin. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Ok!!! thank you sooo much 🙂 skin care can be soo confusing sometimes lol 😣

@@hadleyyr8958 everything takes time. 😀

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hi! I have one more question lol! So for the nights that I don’t use the lactic acid or the glycolic acid would i only do cleanser, hyaluronic acid, and the. moisturizer?

@@hadleyyr8958 Correct😊

Thank you!🤗

Glad it was helpful! :)

Well, I assume that they only use it to sell the product, so that it looks better and that more people buy it. But not sure I never had TikTok... 😉 I think that you can put too much on it, but it may not be harmful. Not sure, but you do not need much, and you will get the same effect and safe money :)

Got it! I'll get back to you soon!🥰

Thank you so much 😀

🙂

Thank you! Greetings from Austria🇦🇹

🇱🇺

Thank you!!🥰

That's because not many people on RU-vid are actually using the products 😉 , But I appreciate your feedback. Thanks 🙂

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thankyou soo much for likes and replys! Literally the best RU-vidr ever🥺🔥

Hey! :) Yes, that's fine! Yes, stress and changes in the body can influence the skin dramatically!

Haha :) you can, and I can charge an hourly rate. 😜 And thank you 😃

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I’m packing a bag now I just want to bring all my potions and have a play you’ve got some serious smarts are you an ambassador for the O?

​@@TimeToEvolve101 haha okay :) No, I think it doesn't even exist; as far as I know, the Ordinary does not do any sponsorships.

Hello Samia, that's individual. Try to see how your skin responds to it. :)

Hello, 🤔 have you watched the video because I was explaining it 🙂 , But no, you cannot use Salicylic Acid after the Peeling solution. Or it would help if you avoided it since you already using 32% of acids on your skin.

Hello kayla 🙂 Yes you can!

Thank you!! 😊

You're welcome 😊

Glad it was helpful!🥰

🥰

I highly recommend not doing that; even around the lips is questionable.

Hey :) When using the peeling solution, for example, on Sunday evening, keep the routine simple that night and do not use any other AHA or BHA products. You're fine to use the other AHA or BHA product the next day since you're not using the mask :)

Yes, you should avoid using it on active pimples 😀

Yes, that's fine. It's common to find Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, or Citric Acid at the very bottom of the ingredients list as those are being used to stabilize the pH.

Glad you think so! :)

You're welcome 😊
