Hi, thank you very much for this brief but very informative video. I have a question though. Are we supposed to increase the frequency of using this product in time or do we need to stick to twice a week?
Stick to 2 x a week, no more than 3x that is plenty of exfoliation. You can start including a retinol/Vitamin A in your routine which you would use on alternative nights :)
Irritation, I personally use glycolic & lactic acid with niacinamide and it doesn't cause me any problems, same for vitamin c and niacinamide. however I think you shouldn't mix vitamin C with tretinoin or retinols ( I could be wrong) but If my memory doesn't fail me It's better not to mix these 2.
You can actually, Azelaic acid is known to be not very irritating, in the first 2 to 4 weeks of you first using it gonna give you a picking NOT BURNING sensation that goes away after about 5 min, and this goes away as you get used to the product. Azelaic acid and niacinamide are a goood duo, I use them together and they work really well for me ( M oily and acne prone btw, my acne is under control tho). And another fun fact, azelaic acid can be mixed with anything as long as you tolerate it, it's something (azelaic acid) that is made by Malassezia ( a yeast that lives on ALL HUMANS SKIN) and it is found in some wheat produce. so yeah the only caveat is that you gonna know your skin ease your way into the products, and listen to your skin.
I also thought it would be better to use on damp skin because the product would absorb into the skin faster. This is why retinol can’t be used on damp skin because it may cause irritation and sun screen can’t be used on damp skin because it’s supposed to sit at the top of the skin. Idk, I’m still scared about using this on dry skin with HA present in the product because if there is no water on the skin, the HA will take the moisture already present in the skin and make it drier.
Thank you, a very helpful video. My question is- can I store lactic acid serums in the fridge? I've been doing so due to the extremely hot summer but not sure if this will reduce the serum's potency.
Hi, Thanks for the video But I have a question I just do my research some web saying it is advised to apply Niacinamide after using Lactic Acid to ensures the acid can work at exfoliating whilst niacinamide restores hydration back into the skin barrier. But some videos that I watched including you saying not to mix it with Niacinamide Which one is the right one ?
No niacinamide should not be applied after any exfoliating aha/bha this includes lactic acid :) The acid will work by itself - ensure you apply to a cleansed face but dry skin :) moisturiser after
Personally I have seen amazing results using lotions containing zinc oxide on my dry and very sensitive skin, it may sound strange but butt creams with zinc are some of the best, I highly recommend it!
I use Cerave Moisturising Cream for Dry Skin in my face, the pot of 454 G is pretty cheap and have the recomendation of the National Eczema Asociation and ceramides, this make a really improve in my very dry skin. I wet my fingers and apply only a ball in green bean size.
Heyy i love your videos can you please tell me if i can use this I'm currently 20 years old and i haven't used any chemical exfoliant before I don't have any acne on my face but yeah i surely do have dullness on my face is this suitable??
I would only use a serum that is formulated with multiple acids, not try and apply multiple exfoliating acid serums in one or layer them. So if you are using the ordinary, choose 1
simple routine that i can suggest: morning: wash your face + on a damp skin use your hyaluronic acid serum wait for it to dry completely then use Vita C (wait for it to absorb) and follow by your sunscreen. night: wash your face, you can actually mix Niacinamide and azelaic acid, i use them together and MUAH masterpiece + moisturizer. so the morning routine it gonna stay the same all week long, for the night routine you gonna use it for 2 nights and on the 3rd you gonna exfoliate, using the glycolic acid, just wash your face, dry it, use Glycolic acid, and moisturizer. and that's it
with brightening hyperpigmentation left over yes, with acne deep scars no - you would need to use Vitamin A, B and C and get a series of advanced skin treatments like microneedling done.
How long have you had it for? It should have the expiry on the bottle so you know when to chuck out and replace. Also make sure to purchase from reputable companies x
Depending on the severity of your acne scars or if it's just hyperpigmentation left over. Acne scars are very deep within the skin, and will require advanced skin treatments like micro needling done by a professional. A good routine with Vitamin A can help, but most likely you will require a series of skin treatments to break down the scarring. Best to get a skin consult from a professional :)
Hey Leilah, micellar water needs to be used as a first cleanse followed by a cleanser. It needs to be removed from the skin, it should not be used as a toner. If you use it correctly, remove it from your skin then yes you can use a lactic acid serum in your routine xx
There are many ingredients that can help hyperpigmentation. Lactic acid is great for hyperpigmentation when it comes to choosing an exfoliating acid. Vitamin C, Retinol, Niacinamide are also beneficial. It will depend on the type of pigmentation and cause x
Yes, however exfoliating daily is way to much for the skin and especially if you also use retinol in your routine. 2 x per week is plenty for exfoliating unless you have acne. Over exfoliating causes issues to your skin’s acid mantle x
Lactic acid should be used alone at night on clean and dry skin. Use moisturizer after it dries. Never use retina with lactic acid. But you can use retina on other nights. Both retina and lactic acid mildly exfoliate the skin. So use lactic acid once a week and retina 3 times a week. Too much products can damage your skin barrier..go slow and don't forget ur spf daily
Can i use this with broken capillaries on my cheeks .as i feel im missing out on exfoliating..so would this be mild enough maybe 1 times a week 5 percent ...and if so will i see results x
I use ha everyday, If i use Lactic Acid once a week for exfoliation, do I have to use my HA again for that session or do I leave it out and use it on the next session? And do I use the lactic acid day and night during the exfoliation day
Hey I have a question please Can I do this Routine: AM -Cleanse -Ordinary Coffein(eyes) -Vitamin C -Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics(sometimes) -Moisturizer PM -Cleanse -Ordinary Lactic Acid (2x a week) -Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics (if I dont use Lactic Acid then I do Niacinamide) -Rose Hip Seed Oil -Moisturizer Thank you for the help or tips, would this be good?
are enlarged pores considered "skin texture"? also does Lactic acid helo to reduce their appearance? if not does anyone have any recommendations for that specific issue?

Please help me
Does Paula’s choice AHA/BHA Contain lactic acid?
Hi, thank you very much for this brief but very informative video. I have a question though. Are we supposed to increase the frequency of using this product in time or do we need to stick to twice a week?
Stick to 2 x a week, no more than 3x that is plenty of exfoliation. You can start including a retinol/Vitamin A in your routine which you would use on alternative nights :)
If you use any other type of exfoliant, chem or physical, once a week is enough w this.
Do we need to refrigerate these serums or room temperature is just fine ?
What are the reasons for not using niacinamide, retinol, or Vitamin C after/along with lactic acid?
Irritation, I personally use glycolic & lactic acid with niacinamide and it doesn't cause me any problems, same for vitamin c and niacinamide.
however I think you shouldn't mix vitamin C with tretinoin or retinols ( I could be wrong) but If my memory doesn't fail me It's better not to mix these 2.
Thanks for your reply. Can I use this with Cerave hydrating cleanser and the Cerave moisturizer as well if I decide to use this instead? Thanks 😁
Yes you won’t need to use lactic acid daily though, 2-3 x per week is plenty :)
@@SkinZoneTV 👍👍
Can i use lactic acid and after 10minutes application of azelaic acid 10% booster by paula's choice?
Or is better to use on different days?
Can use Hyaluronique acid and lactic acid and Azelic in the same routin??
You cannot mix azelaic acid..as it’ll irritate your skin so haarsh
You can actually, Azelaic acid is known to be not very irritating, in the first 2 to 4 weeks of you first using it gonna give you a picking NOT BURNING sensation that goes away after about 5 min, and this goes away as you get used to the product.

Hello . I’m turning 20 in January.
Is it safe to use lactic acid on my skin? Should I use this?
Hello yes 2 x a week is plenty :) xx
Can you use the hyaluronic before and then Lactic acid?
Start with lactic before then hyaluronic to lock in the moisture
Thank you for clarifying to use it on dry skin. I thought HA had to be used on wet skin so I was confused
Generally yes for hyaluronic acid, but exfoliating acids to be applied to dry skin :) x
Dear how can we order ??
I also thought it would be better to use on damp skin because the product would absorb into the skin faster. This is why retinol can’t be used on damp skin because it may cause irritation and sun screen can’t be used on damp skin because it’s supposed to sit at the top of the skin.

Hi, is that right if i just use lactic acid in night time every twice a week and use niaciamide in other days?
Yes that is all fine :)
Hi, Thanks for the video

Can i do this order Cleanser, Lactic acid, toner and then moisturizer? My skin is dry and I need to add a toner/ mist for moisturizer can lock it in
Hello ❤Which Brand lactic acid is good and which percentage!????? My skin extra sensitive and dry😢😢😢
There are many brands on the market that are great! Start with a low % and only use 1-2 x weekly if you have dry/sensitive skin
@@SkinZoneTV ap kis Brand ko recommend kry gi jis k 100 percent results hon?
@@hooriya632 ordinary is the best. Other than that you can try minimalist or deconstruct
Is it like that if we use Lactic Acid today, can we use retinol the other day then
Yes use on a different day is recommended
Does it work for bumpy skin..?
its great for bumpy skin
Does it work oily skin?
Yes you can use it on oily skin, however salicylic acid may be a better option for you if you are prone to blackheads/congestion
Can I use for lip peel
No I would not use on your lips.
Can I add hyaluronic acid after the chemical exfoliant ?
It has hyaluronic acid already 0:03 but if you feel you want to add more you can
can we use it on combination skin
I would think so. Combination skin is classified as sensitive skin.
Heyy i love your videos can you please tell me if i can use this I'm currently 20 years old and i haven't used any chemical exfoliant before I don't have any acne on my face but yeah i surely do have dullness on my face is this suitable??
So happy to hear :) yes you can use a chemical exfoliant like this one - up to twice weekly! Lactic acid is great for dullness x
Can I use retinol on the day that I don’t use lactic acid?
Yes :) use at night xx
can i mix any of the acids?
I would only use a serum that is formulated with multiple acids, not try and apply multiple exfoliating acid serums in one or layer them.
So if you are using the ordinary, choose 1
Thank you! This is very helpful. 🧡
So happy to hear!
Can I use the lactic acid twice a week and retinol every other night that I don't use the lactic acid
Yes
If I use niacinimide in my am routine, can I use this as a pm serum?
yes but you wouldn't need to use it every night x
I have (glycolic acide and niaciamid,Hyaluronique,lactic,Azelic and vitamin c and i don’t know how used this in routine correct ?? Can you help me?
simple routine that i can suggest:
morning:
wash your face + on a damp skin use your hyaluronic acid serum wait for it to dry completely then use Vita C (wait for it to absorb) and follow by your sunscreen.
night:
wash your face, you can actually mix Niacinamide and azelaic acid, i use them together and MUAH masterpiece + moisturizer.

@@zephyrine1448what about lactic acid
hi, does it help with acne scars?
with brightening hyperpigmentation left over yes, with acne deep scars no - you would need to use Vitamin A, B and C and get a series of advanced skin treatments like microneedling done.
my lactic acid’s color is yellow. does it mean it’s expired or is it okay to use?
How long have you had it for? It should have the expiry on the bottle so you know when to chuck out and replace. Also make sure to purchase from reputable companies x
hello what products should i use to remove acne scars on cheeks?
Depending on the severity of your acne scars or if it's just hyperpigmentation left over. Acne scars are very deep within the skin, and will require advanced skin treatments like micro needling done by a professional. A good routine with Vitamin A can help, but most likely you will require a series of skin treatments to break down the scarring.

@@SkinZoneTV it is hyperpigmentation
@@nurjawhara4959 Vitamin C, retinol and niacinamide. Lactic acid for exfoliation - and azelaic acid is also great for hyperpigmentation :)
@@SkinZoneTV THANK U SM
Should I use for whole or only for 10 to 15 mints plz reply ?
It’s a leave on serum x
Can this treat milia?
Extractions by a skin professional is the best but home use of using an exfoliating serum with salicylic acid will help too
If my moisturiser has vit c, can I use it
No they clash
Hi if my micellar water that I use as a toner after cleansing contains niamacide will it affect the lactic acid serum?
Hey Leilah, micellar water needs to be used as a first cleanse followed by a cleanser. It needs to be removed from the skin, it should not be used as a toner.
If you use it correctly, remove it from your skin then yes you can use a lactic acid serum in your routine xx
@@SkinZoneTV thank you!
Niaciamid and lactic acid can bi used together.
Not all brands recommend to use direct acids with niacinamide :) it will depend on the brand of niacinamide xx
Hi, can it be use for darken old scar on leg ?
Sure yes
If it’s post inflammatory scarring from hyperpigmentation then yes, if it is scarring from a surgery etc then try rosehip oil
For hiper pigmentation which serum is best
There are many ingredients that can help hyperpigmentation. Lactic acid is great for hyperpigmentation when it comes to choosing an exfoliating acid.
Vitamin C, Retinol, Niacinamide are also beneficial. It will depend on the type of pigmentation and cause x
Can I use niacinamide in the morning and lactic acid at night? Please answer
Yes but you shouldn’t be using lactic acid daily. 2 x per week is plenty
Can i used it regular?
Yes two times per week
it also contain hydraulic acid, why hydraulic acid make my skin so dull and dehydrated?
What else do you use in your routine? and how often do you use this product?
They say use it every evening
Yes, however exfoliating daily is way to much for the skin and especially if you also use retinol in your routine. 2 x per week is plenty for exfoliating unless you have acne. Over exfoliating causes issues to your skin’s acid mantle x
Skincare brands are trying to sell a product so will generally lean towards recommending you use it more often than is actually needed.
Can it be used with retin a?
I would check with your doctor about what you can use alongside your prescription xx
Lactic acid should be used alone at night on clean and dry skin. Use moisturizer after it dries. Never use retina with lactic acid. But you can use retina on other nights. Both retina and lactic acid mildly exfoliate the skin. So use lactic acid once a week and retina 3 times a week. Too much products can damage your skin barrier..go slow and don't forget ur spf daily

If i use Lactic Acid once a week for exfoliation, do I have to use my HA again for that session or do I leave it out and use it on the next session?
And do I use the lactic acid day and night during the exfoliation day
Just once at night is best on your exfoliating day :)
