Hello Melissa, hope you will read this. I'm a man and new in the skincare since a week. I bought a cerave foaming cleanser, the ordinary nmf, the ordinary salycilic mask and the ordinary niaciname 10% + zinc. After washing my face with the cleanser my face is a little bit dry. But after using the nmf with 3 drops of the niacinamid its ok. Until now i used the mask one time and think it was fine with my skin. My Problem is at the chin and mouth. There are often whiteheads in my beard. Do you think i could use the 2% salycilic acid serum there to handle these? If i would use the mask i couldnt wash it off and i think once a week would be to less for these whiteheads 😢 hopefully you could give me an advise.

Would it be too much if I used Salic Acid 2% and then a Salic Acid moisturiser?

I noticed you applied this under your eyes so I did the same. My under eye is so dry and darker. Did it thin my skin? The difference between my under eye area and yours is that you have no bags. I think you should mention that when you give instructions. Had someone said to not apply under eye, I would not have. It’s so confusing when directions on bottle say do not get in contact of eye. I assume that means, do not our IN the and if so flush it out. I watched your video and did the same you did. I only used this once. Did my under eye thin out?

Hi! I’m a bit late to this video but does this help with blackheads?
