You are an absolute wealth of knowledge and a mind reader to boot. I have been mulling around all the info on acids and getting so confused. Your video has cleared up all my questions on acids and helped me to make an informed decision. Thank you ....thank you ...thank you. ( never miss a video , by the way)
@@CS-ow4gl hey Does azelaic acid good for close conmedognic acne ? I have close conmedogonic acne all over my face that's skin clr and when I pop them something white came out (eww) ..
I’ve never heard anyone explain salicylic acid the way you did in this video. Thank you. Even though I’m 59, I have lots of congestion in my cheeks and find the Paula’s Choice BHA Liquid is so good for clearing my skin.
I think the RMS highlighters that have been really popular are definitely causing skin texture. It has a very high content of coconut oil and other thick ingredients.
I actually found the Ordinary's lactic acid to be just as good as the Sunday Riley's good genes. I found that the Sunday Riley was decent (used up 2 bottles), but wasn't doing enough for the price.
Azelaic acid - if you have those acne who occur once a month but it takes you a 15-20 days to get rid of them because they are never ever "ripe" enough to extract , go to your pharmacy and get it ! Best buy of last year !
I’ve used Paula’s Choice for years. I will keep it, but NeoStrada is on my shopping list. Thank you for all your information. There are so many great products out there, we need all the help we can get to decide ❤️
Hi Nadine! Have been binge watching your latest videos, love your approach to skin care. This is a wonderful & informative session on acids. I wanted to ask how you rotate your acids and retinol? You said you like to use acids at night, can't imagine using both an AHA and my retinol. I have rosacea so that area of my skin is super sensitive while the rest of my face can take almost anything. These acids do radiate so if I apply a stronger acid to certain areas, eventually the rosacea will be affected. It's a struggle. Keep on spreading the good information. There is so much misinformation out there, we need trusted sources!
Thank you for the simple explanation, really helpful in the minefield of acids. I would be interested in a hyrauloronic, ferulic and asorbic acid too please. Also you put probiotics on your skin? Would love to hear more. Thank you xx
Can’t live without Biologique Recherche's P50 1970 - pricey but for me worth it! Also use Sunday Riley Good Genes. I’ve got mature skin and both products make a difference - I don’t use them together - I alternate.
Hi Nadine, I am using Dr Dennis Gross Alpha beta universal daily peel. It's a 2 step process & comes in individual packets. So basically after cleansing & toning you wipe the pad on your face that says exfoliate & then wait for 2 min & then use the step 2 which is an anti aging neutralizer pad. It's got salicylic, glycolic, citric, lactic & malic acid. I luv these pads as I luv individually wrapped things because they are so convenient to carry everywhere.
Nadine thankyou so so much for this. I rarely get breakouts on my face but my back and chest do and I was so glad to hear you cover this. Such an in-depth video that will have helped so many 😘
yes!!!! Please speak on the highlighters and primers!!! I do not think it's a coincidence people are getting 'texture' right where their highlight is!!
Brilliant! This is quite thorough, thank you very much, Nadine. What about LHA (lipo hydroxy acid) and tranexemic acids? I recently bought LRP Effaclar duo and toner and but I'm not seeing much results on my acne combination aging skin although I use salicylic, lactic, kojic and glycolic acids. Looking forward to your next video. Happy New Year!
Great topic! I am currently trying Neostrata’s Ultra Moisturizing Face Cream 10 PHA and really loving it. When you apply it, it does not feel particularly moisturizing, but the next morning your face feels like a babies bottom. It works best when used alone. I have been trying The Ordinary’s Mandelic Acid 10% and it works nicely as well. My go to daily favorite is The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid 10%. I have been using this one for quite a while and it has done wonders for my sensitive, facial vein prone skin! I may continue to stick to these three products-but will be trying Neostrata’s Bionic formulation to compare its performance on my skin. Thanks so much! 😊
Hello, I just found your channel yesterday and I have been watching you non stop. You are very thorough and clear. Thank you for teaching us. I would like to ask you please if you could do a video about 'marketing words' on skin care products. Examples: synonyms for AHA, BHA, salicylic, etc... I have heard that skin care companies would use synonyms to bump the price of their products and we can find dupes but we have to look into the ingredients. Please teach us more on this topic.
Thank you Nadine! I actually feel I have an understanding of these acids now! Going to try some of your recommendations as my skin requires a little more effort these days x
You're amazing, Nadine, with the amount of stuff you know and how quickly it all comes out of your mouth! Goals. I'm really loving Paula's Choice CALM Redness Relief 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant. I've been using it twice a week. Any more than that would be too much.
I’ve used Zelens PHA pads and while they were affective it made my skin a little sensitive. Still haven’t found anything better for me than Glow Tonic and Alpha H liquid gold. I do love the Ameliorate body lotion with lactic acid so thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Nadine, I was surprised you didn’t mention DCL’s Multi-Action Penta Peel pads. They contain such a good mix of acids. I leave them on for longer than 2 minutes recommended, but I also don’t use them more than a couple of times a week.
Have you tried acids from Korean Brands? I would love to hear your take on that, especially Cosrx, Benton and Klairs. Thank you for posting this is really helpful ♥️
Mónica Santos Those brands are great. I have used BHA liquid from CosRx and Galactomices for whiter, brighter skin and loved them. Also The Ordinary has great products for better prices.
LAVINIA NEGRU thank you for your answer. I was thinking about Cosrx BHA, it’s not that I have big issues but I have sensitive skin and mild rosacea, so I need something kinda gentle... but I use Glycolic Acid from The Ordinary and it doesn’t irritate my skin (love it) 😉
Thank you so much, I even took notes and have literally just purchased Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA. I’ve been looking into NeoStrata products, but wasn’t sure where to buy them from, so the links are helpful for future purchases.
First of all, love your videos and am so happy to find someone my age who has great skincare advice. Here's my question - I've been using Retinol .2% in Squalane in the evening followed by Rose Hip Oil. I just purchased Lactic Acid 10%. Should I alternate the Retinol and Lactic Acid? I can't use them both on same night, can I? Thanks!
Absolutely LOVE your channel! You introduced me to retinol, vitamin c, Deciem etc.. and I've never looked back. Wanted to ask a couple of things: Where does lactic acid fit, before or after retinol? Can you layer two acids? E.g my nightime routine is cleanse, ordinary glycolic acid, niod copper, niod hyloronic acids, paulas choice 1% retinol, niod hydration vaccine, then moisruriser. Am I layering these right, and where can I fit in my good genes lactic acid? My daytime routine is the same minus the glycolic acid and retinol. And what is your opinion on the new Kiehls vitamin c as I'm in the market for a new one because my drunk elephant c-firma kept breaking me out. Sorry for all the questions, I just love skincare and value your advice so much. Xxx
I love your videos and the amount of research you include. I love using a lactic acid bc they are as irritating to me as glycolic. Sunday Riley’s good genes is AMAZING, but if you’re on a budget, like me, then I love the ordinarys formulation. Also Sunday Riley UFO oil is a great oil featuring salicylic acid that won’t dry out your skin but will really help with break outs.
So my question is.... which acids can you use together? Are you supposed to choose one that suits your skintype, use them on different days or can you just “mix and match”? Then of course comes the question of how to use them combined with retinols and/or alpha arbutin, niaciamide and so on..... Phew, it truly is a jungle out there. Thank you for your great videos!
nikita gupta the Neostrata lightening gel listed above x look www.effortlessskin.com/p-4086-enlighten-pigment-lightening-gel-20ml.aspx?alndg=c025b7136b31&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoNGplrGr2gIVSLHtCh0NJQpHEAAYASAAEgLCsPD_BwE
Hi Nadine. Loving your videos. So informative! Quick question - if I’m using a Retinol and Vitamin C on alternate nights, when would I use my Acid? I would choose Salacylic as I have oily skin. Not prone to spots but oily during the day and blackheads around the nose area. Thanks so much!!!
Hi Nadine, I love, love, love your videos. I have learned so much and so look forward to them. Very recently I have experienced a reaction to a product containing vitamin C and am left to deal with alot of texture, bumps, scaling and drying to my skin. Any suggestions? ? My skin was in good shape before this. Thank you
Hi Nadine. I developed an allergy to glycolic about 6 months ago and it is now just too much for my skin which develops irritated, eczema patches when I use it. Lactic is much gentler and my absolute favourite outside of Lotion P50 is the PHA/AHA by Lixir Skin. It is super effective and leaves my skin glowing but is not irritating at all. I highly recommend this acid plus the Vitamin C Paste.
Such a great video!! Would be interested in one about hyaluronic absorbic acids too as mentioned in the description. I don’t know if you’ve done one but I can’t see it x
Brilliant video, thank you for this, the timing is brilliant for me as I have started to find that after years of using glycolic acid with no problems suddenly a couple of days after using it my skin is red and peeling. I think I will give lactic a go instead. xxxx
Hi Nadine Fantastic video! I'm was thrilled that you've included Neostrata polyglycolic & lactobionic acids...im currently using Neostrata cellular restoration once a week in the evening and the Ordinary hah&bha twice a month.
I am pretty new to the skincare scene. The first brand I tried about 2 years ago was juice beauty.. Some things worked ok, but their moisturizers just sat on top of my skin and I just wanted to wash it off. They also rely on a lot of fruit acids, which I think were irritating my skin. I always felt like I was going back and forth between treating dry skin and treating breakouts. I realized eventually that all natural and organic isn't really the way to go with skincare. My 2 favourite brands right now are paula's choice and first aid beauty. I am currently suffering what I think is an irritation breakout from trying to layer too many products. FYI the travel size for paulas choice 2% bha perfecting liquid is a full 1oz of product and it's under $10. I tried retinol for the 1st time earlier this week, pc's travel size 1% retinol is $11. I mixed it with lotion, but still my skin is super mad at me.. Even washing my face with only water makes it feel tight and uncomfortable. Currently I've been using the pc wrinkle defense with retinol serum..with FAB lotion, sometimes cream if I am super dry... Hopefully my skin will chill the heck out. I'm 27 and just now starting to see some forehead wrinkles, and spider veins on my cheeks, so I figure it's time to take action! PC is expensive, but for what it is I think they're on the more affordable side of clinically proven skincare.
Hi Nadine! Thank you for your videos, they are all so informative and entertaining! 😊 I especially was waiting for this kind of video so thank you! I am interested in salicylic as lately I have had the occasional spot, but of more of a cystic kind for some reason. Would you recommend using the one from the Ordinary in place of the Paula’s choice one? I already use the Niacinamide+Zinc serum from their range and love it, as well as the Hyaluronic Acid one. Thank you in advance!
Thanks for this Nadine. Really really helpful. When you referred to Clinique at the end of the video, did you mean the 1.0 alcohol-free or the original number 1 Clarifying Lotion?
Just discovered your channel and am retrospectively watching your past videos! Brilliant , really enjoying it . You look amazing by the way . You have already convinced me to order the Dafni straightener brush . 🤣
Cor! Bloody brilliant! I need to go back and take notes! So yes, question - if you had: older skin, with melasma, hyperpigmentation, age spots AND fine lines and wrinkles (and you'd tried Vit C + E + Ferrulic and it just made matters far worse)...what acid/skin regime would you be looking at? Haha, that's not a small question, sorry! Thanks so much for making this, Nadine x
Super video Nadine. My question would be do you also use a retinol at night when using your chosen acid? I double cleanse and then use 1% retinol. Should I use an acid also?
Thank you for this awesome information, Nadine. I've been using Retin A for the last four months, going very carefully step by step in order to avoid irritations and flaking, and it has worked. Can I now introduce glycolic acid in my night routine or would it be dangerous in terms of irritations and flaking. Thank you, and kisses from Spain.
PSA for anyone who loves the Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid but would like to spend less - I finally found a dupe: Cosrx Blackhead Power Liquid. It's half the price, a nice formulation, and it gets the job done. (I've used the PC for like 15 years, started back when it cost like $13 USD. Still worth the current $29 price tag but I'm broke and it's great that someone FINALLY made something that's as good.)
Oligophilic isn't a word and azelaic acid isn't an AHA. Other than that I loved the information, product recommendations and your delivery. I'm subscribed.
Great video 👍 I’m in my 30s and I absolutely love glycolic acid. I remember my mom always using it and her telling me it would keep me looking young longer. She was right! 😁
You are an absolute wealth of knowledge and a mind reader to boot. I have been mulling around all the info on acids and getting so confused. Your video has cleared up all my questions on acids and helped me to make an informed decision. Thank you ....thank you ...thank you. ( never miss a video , by the way)
Best video ever about acids!
Thank you for talking to us as equals, instead of talking down like beauty followers are dim. A lot of us are enlightened .
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid did not work well for my sensitive and acne-prone skin. Mandelic acid is my holy grail.
Thanks for your tips 🤩I have also a kombi skin. I'm going to try it 👋
have you tried Azelic acid? I was considering that since it helps with inflammation
@@CS-ow4gl hey Does azelaic acid good for close conmedognic acne ? I have close conmedogonic acne all over my face that's skin clr and when I pop them something white came out (eww) ..

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Omg i agree that those bumps on the skin may be caused by highlighters and primers!
What do you think is in those that causes that?
I think the RMS highlighters that have been really popular are definitely causing skin texture. It has a very high content of coconut oil and other thick ingredients.
Thank you for once again educating us all on skincare, the foundation of healthy skin and beautiful skin.
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
I actually found the Ordinary's lactic acid to be just as good as the Sunday Riley's good genes. I found that the Sunday Riley was decent (used up 2 bottles), but wasn't doing enough for the price.
Hey i am just starting out should i go for the peeling solution or lactic.. by the ordinary
Which percentage did u use ?
Finally a breakdown of what how and when with acids. You explain things so well. I love your videos xxxx
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
What about alpha lipoic acid? I just started using The Ordinary's alpha lipoic acid and I'd love to know your opinion!
Paula's Choice now has a 4% salicylic acid gel that is fantastic. Your videos are so informative, always look forward to them.
Ms. H oooh thank you I e yet to see that in the U.K. x
Sadly 2% is the maximum allowed in the EU so we won’t be getting that one over here.
This women is just perfection ! x
Azelaic acid - if you have those acne who occur once a month but it takes you a 15-20 days to get rid of them because they are never ever "ripe" enough to extract , go to your pharmacy and get it ! Best buy of last year !

Thank you, Nadine. Great information on the different kinds of acids and their properties; exactly the information I needed.
Thank you for this video. I use Glycolic, lactic, matrixyl, salicylic, etc....at different times lol. This video is so informative!! Thanks again
Thank you for the simple explanation, really helpful in the minefield of acids. I would be interested in a hyrauloronic, ferulic and asorbic acid too please. Also you put probiotics on your skin? Would love to hear more. Thank you xx

Hi Nadine. Would you be able to do a skincare routine video with recommended products for each skin type and how/when to use them please? X
Oh, my, yes! I needed this video today. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
great breakdown! i feel like there's quite a bit of confusion out there. I alternate salicylic and glycolic at night and they work great!
Perfect topic for me right now.

Fantastic video. Love the product recommendations as well.
Yayyyyy for once I understand the different acids !!! Thanks 😉
Your knowledge of skincare is amazing! This is super helpful thankyou xx
Thank you!! So informative and easy to understand .

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Love this video! My question is what acids can you use together and which can you not?
Do you have any recommendations for very dry, sensitive, acne prone skin? I don’t get very oily anymore but still break out.
This has cleared up so many questions for me!
A good mandelic acid line is from Face Reality-love the face/body wash and scrub!
Thank you Nadine, that was great ....

Haha, that's not a small question, sorry! Thanks so much for making this, Nadine x
So many acids😳! Which to choose for oily/ combination but sensitive skin? Dorota
Nadine I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel!! Please I have a question about I.T Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream......is it worth the hype and worth the $$??
So helpful. Brilliant!
After having a bad experience with a Salicylic acid, I was too scared to try an acid but I might try Mandelic acid
did you ever try it?
Fantastic info thanx Nadine your so helpful
Hi nadine,
Great video as always. Just wondering how do you determine how often to use? Xx
Super video Nadine. My question would be do you also use a retinol at night when using your chosen acid? I double cleanse and then use 1% retinol. Should I use an acid also?
Thank you for this awesome information, Nadine. I've been using Retin A for the last four months, going very carefully step by step in order to avoid irritations and flaking, and it has worked. Can I now introduce glycolic acid in my night routine or would it be dangerous in terms of irritations and flaking. Thank you, and kisses from Spain.
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Hey Nadine. Great video, very informative. Is it OK to use salicylic acid and lactic acid in the same skin care routine? Thanks x
PSA for anyone who loves the Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid but would like to spend less - I finally found a dupe: Cosrx Blackhead Power Liquid. It's half the price, a nice formulation, and it gets the job done. (I've used the PC for like 15 years, started back when it cost like $13 USD. Still worth the current $29 price tag but I'm broke and it's great that someone FINALLY made something that's as good.)
So helpful and informative. Thank you!! Xx
Fantastic video Nadine👏🏻 Thank you☺️ xx
Oligophilic isn't a word and azelaic acid isn't an AHA. Other than that I loved the information, product recommendations and your delivery. I'm subscribed.
Thank you for this video Nadine think I'll have to get some more acids x
Great tutorial. Thank you. 🌺
Great video 👍
I’m in my 30s and I absolutely love glycolic acid. I remember my mom always using it and her telling me it would keep me looking young longer. She was right! 😁
I looved loved loved this video!! 💕❤️
