You can do that, yes. However, whether it is good or not depends on many factors, such as your personal skin tolerance for these ingredients and how often you do it.
Helloo, is it okay to use this moisturizing lotion from cetaphil for acne prone skin, ive been using tretinoin 0.05% since october 2023 and i have oily skin but it gets dry when i use tretinoin (ive been using it every night) now its summer and idk if i have to take a break since i live in a city with a very hot climate or continue using it and if its okay to buy this moisturizer and apply it whenever my skin gets dry, thankyouu for ur videos its very helpful!!
Hi Melissa. I just love the texture of this lotion and how it feels on my face. However when i read the ingredients, third ingredient is isopropyl palmitate which is known to be comedogenic. So i stopped using it to avoid any breakouts. What do you think?
I'm quite skeptical about the comedogenic scale. It might serve as an indicator if you actually experience breakouts from a specific product, helping you pinpoint the cause. However, I believe that most skin issues are linked to not washing the skin properly in the first place. Mixing dead skin cells, dirt, cleanser residue, etc., with the lotion or cream you apply can lead to clogged pores, particularly if the product creates an overly occlusive barrier. This is especially true for oily skin types, which are not suited for these formulations. Even with non-comedogenic ingredients, you can encounter this issue. How long have you been using it, and did you actually experience any breakouts?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks for your reply. I recently started breaking out first time ever in life after stopping breastfeeding, so I was just avoiding any comedonic ingredient in skincare.
@@nyssasal4629 Yes, it does. You can find a more detailed list of ingredients, including the function of each ingredient, here: incidecoder.com/products/cetaphil-moisturizing-lotion-new-formula-2021
Can i use this cetaphil moisturize as i told you earlier that my hands n feet are dry but face is normal plus is beauty of josen sun stick or ceraVe sun stick is enough for cure to sun exposure.😊😊
If you do not use any potent treatments that make your skin sensitive to the sun, or spend hours in the sun without seeking shade or wearing a hat/cap, etc., then yes.
Can I use Cetaphil moisturizing lotion and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% together in skincare routine? Because niacinamide is included in Cetaphil's new formula moisturizing lotion.
Yeah, most often we don't know the exact amount, making it difficult to judge if you really need an additional serum. However, you could try it. Alternatively, simply add 1 drop to the moisturizer, mix it to give it a little boost, and then apply that mixture. :)
HI Melissa, can I use female skin care products on male skin. I want to go with clinique range and don't particularly want their mens range as the female products look a lot better. Thanks!
It's primarily marketing, focusing on the fragrances they alter. Many products have a distinctly feminine fragrance, especially from these companies, but the ingredients are often similar or even identical. This means you can use the products you prefer.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialthanks just one more question. Can you mix and match skin care products from different brands or they have to be the same brand. Thanks U, I have that cetaphil cleanser too, its great
Give your skin a break for a week or two, then try using it again to see if the issue stops or recurs. If it comes back, it's best to stop using it completely.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial can you please make on video on actives that shouldn’t be used together? I’m well into skin care now but I’m afraid I’ll use to wrong ingredients together resulting in me breaking out and ruining all those months of hard work 🥲
@@doc_oc__1905 That's impossible because there are so many combinations to consider, and there is no clear guideline for skincare companies. This means that these actives can be mixed in a somewhat random manner, so it really depends on the individual formulation of the products, making it impossible to predict. 😞
