I made this mistake big time almost exactly last year, and with a combination of stress, my skin became super agitated, inflamed, and it also broke out like crazy with acne. I needed to go to the dermatologist to get it fixed and I needed to go back to the basics. A year later, my skin has cleared up a lot, but there is still a lot of scarring from the acne. So listen to Liah and take it slow with one active ingredient at a time for your skin to get used to it, or you will literally pay the price.
I really appreciate how everything you say is backed up by research and how you didn't overextrapolate/admitted when you weren't completely sure (e.g. BP and vit C). A lot of the skincare combo advice videos I've seen have been fearmongering bs. Also, I think another good active to wear with sunscreen is BHA, some studies have shown photoprotective effects even though it's an exfoliant.
@kelly Dinh I personally use my lactic acid (AHA) at night. In the mornings I use my peter thomas roth vit C moisturizer then sunscreen since vitamin C works best with

Your videos have actually been a huge resource to me as an aesthetician. Of course I learned a lot in school and continue to learn since I've started working in the industry, but it's so refreshing to get a different take on skincare, where in many instances in America I tend to see people being extremely rough with what they're using on their skin. I even shadowed at a spa where they do a peel with EVERY SINGLE facial and that's just not what everyone needs. Your videos taught me the fine line between being progressive with skincare and being abrasive with skincare so I'm very thankful for that 🙌🏼
I agree!! Every facialist wants to do a peel since it does give that post-facial glow and they want their customers to come back for that. Glad to hear that my videos are helping!
Wonderful acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to have short, sweet and to the point about what foods to avert and maximize consumption for better skin, eliminating acne. It all makes sense. I do agree that the guide can help. You can get the information you need in removing acne successfully. .
Wonderful video! Lots of great info. I also read somewhere not to mix benzoyl peroxide with hydroquinone as it could cause temporary skin discoloration. I have mixed BHA with benzoyl peroxide before and yes it makes your skin really really dry and flaky. Learned that the hard way. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us, very helpful :)
I also remember hearing this about hydroquinone ! In some countries, higher concentration are only prescription only but because it's used to create drugs
When I was in high school days, acne is my number one problem, I used many products just to remove those acne even now I have still but just a few. Thanks to this book it really helps me a lot solve my issues on acne, aside from using natural sources, it makes my skin glow and smooth. Go to Here *AcneCureOnline. Com*
Love how you included your references, Liah. It’s obvious how much work you put into your content and skincare line. I know you’re not a doctor or cosmetic chemist, but you certainly consult those who are! What you do matters and helps sooo many of us amateurs because you translate everything in such an interesting, layman’s way and I’m so glad I ever found your channel :’)
Of course doctors like products that bring fast results, like antibiotics. The problem is, our skin has a natural bacterial flora on it, which we need to be healthy. There is a good chance that a healthy skin flora prevents overgrowth by acne-causing bacteria - but antibiotics hurt them too! So unless you really really need antibiotics, better stay away from them. My experience was that acne came back as soon as my antibiotics treatment was over - and the whole process just left an un-colonized skin ready to take and increased the chance of a resistant strains appearing. Therefore, I am so-so-so happy I found your channel!! I learn a lot, and ever since I started to moisturize more often, my skin looks soooo much better!
OMG.... u r so young but well experienced then other skin specialist on youtube..... thank god i finally found someone who i can rely on. Please keep up ur good deed. May Allah blass you 🙏 Love from Nazma Tarin 🤗🖐🖑👏
Using benzoyl peroxide is fine when used as “contact therapy” where you leave the product on for a short duration, 10-20 minutes. This method remains effective for treating acne and is much gentler on your skin. For those worried about using BPO, please do this instead avoiding the product all together as BPO is truly effective against acne.
Can we mix chemical and natural ingredients together? Like for example aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, as they are both hydrating ingredients? Thank you so much for this very useful video !
Oh how I wish I’d known this like six or seven years ago when I bought several exfoliating Neutrogena products at once and used them ALL. Completely destroyed my skin barrier and caused extreme sensitivity. I’m still dealing with the after effects of that disaster. Back then I thought I could just scrub my acne away lol... 😭 I have so many regrets.
Hey Liah ❤️ about a year ago I commented on your video about how I have tried using Rosehip Oil and was experiencing some purging, and decided to soldier through it. This morning, I’m rinsing my face and my skin have never felt this smooth and bouncy. Sure, I have acne marks fading. But never in my live have I felt my face this healthy! Thank you for the knowledge and compassion you’ve shared. Part of the process is to accept your skin and taking care of it the best way you can (like your no foundation video). Thank you!!
wow you even have citations! I love that you have actual sources to back up your video, really shows that you did your research and want to give accurate information!
why is this channel such a gem? its informative, factual and she comes from a place of experience with troubled skin. Not to mention I get a good laugh in. Love this channel needs more love
The video just started and already I'm thinking this may be one of your best ideas yet! All the accompanied research materials referenced make everything seem more reliable too, so kudos for that detail, Liah! Thanks for the insightful videos. You truly deserve all the success and love! x
Hi Liah! It is wonderful that your information is research-based! This is a big reason why I am subscribed to you. I got so tired of all the beauty vlogs that make recommendations based solely on how the product worked for them. Gotta know the ingredients!
I am a proud user of Benzoyl Peroxide. I can make a novel about it, literally, because of how big of a help it is for my acne. Now, I only use it at night, just a pea-sized just to prevent P.Acne bacteria from growing. Before I experienced flaky skin while using it but now that my skin barrier is at its best, no more flaking + I do 7 layers of hydrating toner before it so it does not dry my skin at all. PM Routine oil cleanser hydrating cleanser hydrating toner BP Moisturizer I remember when Liah said that hydration is important for acne-prone skin SO HERE I AM with a clear and supple skin. Thank you so much Liah!
your reference list is so much longer that before! I'm so glad you hired researchers because it means better and more accurate info for us. Thank you!!!
Sharing this with my mom and friends! This was such an easy-to-follow quick guide through the different combinations that work and don't work together. Thank you so much Liah!!
Thank you Liah for the video..Ive been mixing retinoid and salicylic acid on different days of the week..in my head i always remember you sayin to better to not mix actives at one single routine. However i have a question tho, im currently using face wash that claims to have aha+bha in their products but turns out theyre at the last 2 of their ingredients list. I use the face wash everyday, and is it too much of actives? I always thought since theyre very low they wouldnt have any effect at all lol. If anyone can answer this id highly appreciate it.
If your skin is doing fine and dont get irritated then go ahead. I dont hv sensitive skin so i do that. Its not good to hv many actives because people can experience redness etc but if u don’t then its ok.
One of my favorite video! So informational and well explained. I'd say the only thing that's confusing were the graphics of Do's and Don'ts. They look too similar and if say I were to flip back to them just to take a screenshot, i'd be confused
I made the mistake of not moisturising when I was younger since I thought that oily skin didn't need moisture but I now found out that I am so wrong and do moisturise more frequently now (still trying to make it a habit). Another mistake was trying out too much at one time where I had 3 cleansers and that caused me to break out. I totally learn my lesson on not overdoing and just do a little at a time. I'm still trying to find a regime that will help me clear my pimples and tighten my pores while not being overly pricey since I am on a student budget so I'll see what works for me a little at a time!
Also niacinamide has a ph of 5-7 and aha has around 3 ish, it might reduce the effectiveness of your skin to absorbs it as it increases the ph, and if you have sensitive skin, it may cause redness. But again im not an expert so im not quite sure 😕
@@aileenangelina8281 I already researched about these active ingredients... i've decided to only use 1 active ingredient to my acneprone skin. Thank you for your reply! 😊
Derma roller! Worked wonderfully for me. I think Liah has a video on it. Be careful though - use it on a Friday if you don't have any plans for the weekend. The day after I use it I have very red skin, kind of a scab and on day two it starts to peel. I go quite hardcore though, lol. Leaves my skin so soft after though! Also remember that it isn't a one-time solution, nothing is for pitted scars :( I see clear results after every time I use it, but I have used it continuously for a few months.
@@homosapien9526 I think you do bleed a little, but it won't be too much to the point where it is concerning. I'm sure there are many tutorials, but just be careful and remember to sterilize it with alcohol so no bacteria gets into your skin.
Real talk, she’s super right about the excitement one can get from getting each ingredient and wanting to use them all at once to reap the benefits. Recently, my skin freaked out and had one of its worst break outs since my high school years because of how rapidly I sensitized my skin using AHAs and BHAs every other day.... One day my skin felt like it was getting poked by dull needles, especially around my cheek and chin area and for an entire week my skin just started experiencing white heads in areas that were calming down. Sadly, I had to learn the hard way. But recently I’ve just been cleansing with a hydrating cleanser, and mixing the ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% with my ceraVe moisturizer and my skin has been thanking me for it. Only difference in my day and night routine is using sunscreen, and I’ve been keeping it that way with out using any sensitizing ingredients so that my skin barrier can replenish itself until I know it’s time to slowly add those strong chemicals to my skin again. PLEASEEEEE BE CAREFUL AND MINDFUL PEEPS!!!! YOUR SKIN IS ALREADY FIGHTING FOR YOU SO BE NICE TO IT!!! Thanks to Liah & Hyram, I’ve been able to learn so much!!! Keep up the works pretties ❤️
I tried this and this is gone wrong in my skin. Maybe because i live in such humid country so my skin just became more oily and some how became darker, so i repair that with aloe vera(real one). However, I stop mix them and my skin become better
Bcs of your videos, i change almost all my skincare routine to focusing on one active ingredient; niacinamide. Then yesterday i use my sheet mask that I didn’t touch for so long and it really really gives me good effects; it contains ceramide. Then watch this, wow they are actually bff. The effects of this sheet mask is very different when i use it alone w/o niacinamide in my routine Thanks a lot for your thoughtful videos, those are means a lot ❣️❣️❣️ i share your videos w/ my friends
I hear that gurl!!!! Very informative and I can tell you are very passionate about skin and self care! I watched you video on starting your own skincare line and I can tell you love to educate and you’re not afraid of competition so you share your research and what you know etc you know that there is room for everybody if someone wants to start their own skincare line you encourage them and don’t hold information!!!! Love it!
here's a little summary but please watch the vid for more details don't retinol + Aha retinol + bha =can makes overdry retinol + vit c = use it in different time am/pm aha+vit c= can be good but with milder concentration |can be a disaster burning/irritating for sensitive skin benzoyl peroxide + aha best: aha+bha vit c + vit e niacin + vit c vit c + sunscreen niacin + NAG niacin + skin barriers repairment madecassoside + vit B confuse: bpo + aha
I can understand what you’re saying but it’s a 50/50 situation because you have a lot of skin care products that are systems and created with various products that has to be applied to the face. My dermatologist said it was fine that i use my Tret 0.1 with my hydroquinone and then i moisturize. The results are fantastic
I find mixing AHA and Vitamin C is amazing!! I always wake up with an amazing glow even after washing my face and super soft skin. But my face is like a rock when it comes to sensitivity but I dont wanna risk anything
Apparently, my cosrx cleanser has salicylic (bha) in it, and i use a toner right after which is from rire and contains niacinamide. -and it stings my face and leave it bloody red. Guess i should use them separately.
@@uyeuye513 unfortunately yes, that was what happened to me. But i read that some get good results upon mixing them. U never know for your skin type, so maybe test it out first.
Love you liah! You are a great youtube influencer. You are not sharing skincare products just to endorse you also share information for us to help regarding this matter and to know more about the things that we are applying to our face. 💕
This is very helpful. As someone who has been to a lot of dermatologists, I feel that the topic of protecting skin barrier isn’t emphasized enough. I’ve previously been prescribed with salicylic acid containing product along with azelaic acid, clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide and adapalene. 😅 Can’t say it didn’t work because it did but the clarity does not last. This really makes me feel that skin barrier restoration might be the next thing for me. Thank you for yet another great video, Liah! 😊
Hey Liah! i think it would be best to sum this video up if all the info is in a document or a spreadsheet! that way you dont have to explain each individual combination and create a 3 hour video, and us viewers can have a better understanding of what to and not to mix ❤️
Niacinamide + Retinoid/retinol. I was told by my doctor that niacinamide helps with reducing the side effects of retinoid/retinol (skin dryness and prevents sensitized skin). So basically before you start using retinoid/retinol, you would need to use niacinamide everyday for a few weeks. After a few weeks you could then combine them in the same regime- niacinamide is applied first followed by retinoid (water base is applied first before any oil base products).
Could you do a video about skin infections that cause acne? I love the way you present information about skincare topics and the science is really easy to understand! Plus this topic would really help me, I’ve done some research on the topic but I haven’t been able to come to a solid conclusion on what I should do to treat the infection. I live for you videos so please keep posting!!! 💕💖
What is the best foundation to use if you have acne? Never know what to use cover up redness but still not make acne worse or more breakouts. Love you!
I know this is an older video, but I need to tell you that if is fabulous!! The knowledge in here needs to be known by everyone! Thank you so much!!♥️💜
@@HotPotato9922 what if i use it rarely, i mean in the morning i use niacinamide and in the night i use aha bha. is it okay? cause i need to exfoliate my skin but i need niacinamide too :(
indri purwaningrum that’s okay I meant when you’re using niacynamide and right after that an acid if you’re using it at two different day times I guess that should be okay you just shouldn’t mix it in one routine like morning or night
I hate vitamin c products whenever I use a serum I get discoloration my skin get dull and dark , I'm big on spf my skin handle pretty much anything from glycolic 20% night cream to retin a successfully. I just gave up on vit c !!!
Same. I have spent my way through many a vitamin c product. My skin gets a shade darker and then brightens up after I stop using it... I found arbutin works better for me.
Gemma O which Arbutin are you using? I used to use the Ordinary but stop using their products due to more products working against me then with me lol.
Thank youu for this video. I am aware of Salicylic Acid & Benzoyl Peroxide being best to be seperate, and having always moisturized beforehand. So I typically have been cleansing twice a day lately, to control my acne into clearer, healthier skin. Morning regimen has been, cleansing the face with lukewarm water & 2% Salicylic Acid cleanser, cool water in replacement of toner for now & to help cool the skin down. Patting dry with a clean towel. Then moisturizing (lips & undereyes included). And SPF 30 sunscreen as needed here. Nightly, *lukewarm water, then a cool water rinse when done with the milk cleanser* a pH balanced, almond milk cleanser. Moisturizer. Using a Q-tip cotton swab to apply 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, and I keep it as a leave-in product. So far, this has been very effective. Today for a first, I did mix the two, but knowingly will continue how I have been doing above. So I appreciate your helpful video, and researcher based content! *Products I use, that's effectively been helping my hormonal based acne, is Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash or Neutrogena's Rapid, Clear, Stubborn Acne Foaming Scrub (both are 2% Salicylic Acid). Moisturizer is Eucerin's Original Healing Lotion (safe & is an antifungal product; an hydrating, rich emollient lotion). Andalou Naturals' Apricot Milk Cleanser & Benzoyl Peroxide for the night regimen, Neutrogena's Rapid, Clear, Stubborn Acne Leave-In Mask (2.5%) or I was intending to get their maximum strength 10% 》 Neutrogena's Rapid, Clear, Stubborn Acne Gel, but I started off with a low dose. Always moisturize first, and then use the Benzoyl Peroxide product, and always use spf 30 sunscreen! My sunscreen is also, Christina Moss Naturals SPF 30 Suncreen from Amazon, the above products are all available at CVS within the states*
What is your option on Differin? Would you recommend it as a gentle vitamin a, anti aging or blemish clearing gel? Can you do a video on how to start incorporating vitamin a into your skincare in a safe way? LOVE YOU!
Hello Dr. Yoo! Are there any pore tunnel clearing alternatives to salicylic acid? My skin doesn’t react well to it, if I leave it overnight (like CosRx BHA toner), my skin gets kind of warm and tight, and if I apply and rinse it off after 10-20 minutes, it doesn’t work very effectively for my pores and can cause pimples. I developed a bad sensitivity to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid by massively overusing in high school.
Try azelaic acid (20% ideally). Keep with the BHA maybe try to compensate the dryness with moisturizer or use a lotion form ? (PC's 2% BHA lotion) You can still use it as a mask and then use azelaic acid.
Niacinamide is a weak base (see its suffix!) and bha is an acid, so it’s optimal to keep them separated for at least some duration of time! Bha also works best at a lower pH; with acids, apply, wait for a few minutes, then apply the rest of your routine
i can only speak for myself of course but i get great results using them together, and i always use the niacinamide right after the bha with zero issue, the exfoliation just enhances the results for me
True! I think it does depend on your skin however, given that non-enzymatic hydrolysis is more likely to occur at low pHs --> niacin production (which can generate pretty extensive flushing and prickling even at very low levels). If your skin isn't sensitive, then this may be a nonissue, but this could be something to bear in mind for sensitive skin sufferers
Usually people say not to mix them up or to wait at least 15-30 minutes after using each. I personally didn't know that my essence contained niacinamide, and so i used bha right after it. Big mistake. I messed up my skin, it was red and dry and hurting and it stung whenever I applied stuff, couldn't even handle honey. Luckily I eventually understood what was going on. I'll personally never use both of them together in one routine (even when I wait, my skin gets irritated), so I just use one at a time.
Love your channel and tips, Liah. I get really excited when you upload a video. I've struggled with acne and the only ingredient that has been keeping my acne at bay for over 9 years is BPO, but I have a very sensitive skin and rosacea and, as you said and I agree, BPO is very sensitizing, well...I have oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin. I've already tried other active ingredients, like AHA, BHA, Niacinamide, but none of them work as well as BPO for my acne skin, then I have to use moisturizer to prevent my skin from getting more sensitive. Though sometimes moisturizers don't really work out as well. It's really annoying. I really don't know how to sort this out.
Having acne for 9 years does tell you something! Have you asked for professional help to look into your internal health? There must be an imbalance somewhere!
I have been using this combination for a few months now, successfully. No bad reactions. The niacinamide helps sooth the irritation from the retinol. I tried applying the retinol before and after. It's about preference. If you are concerned always test patch on your arm for a few days.
I'm very thankful for this human being. All of your videos was so helpful to me, for just researching or maybe just learning. One of my fav youtubers! #PalmPalmFam here 🌴🤗
Hi, what would you suggest for dull, dehydrated, congested that’s acne prone and can break out if the wrong product is used? Thank you for sharing! GOD BLESS.
Hey Liah 😊 What about mixing Niacinamid and Bha or Aha ? For example At night when I exfoliate and after that if I apply the ordinary Naiacinamid %10 and Zinc %1 over it , will this combo irritate my skin?
Wish you're my friend in real life or big sister, ms. Liah! Theres too much information to swallow. Really need to invest your time in researching about the skin care products you're using. But thank you so much for this! ❤
i have sensitive skin, i broke out when i used a vit c serum or the missha fermented dupe serum for the ski II one T___T what alternatives would you suggest for me? (also very, very sensitive to vit a! my skin peeled off and i had rashes...) nowadays i kinda only use snail creams since the benton snail line saved my skin many years ago.
i think so, too. OR my skin was just too sensitive at that time or the serum was too rich for me...i now bought sample sizes from skII (which already cost me 20€ for 2 tiny bottles that will last me maybe 1 week), we'll see how my skin reacts. if the original and the holy mother of all fermented goods breaks me out, i'll give up xD
A lot of people with sensitive skin get irritated by vit c, do you know what percentage you had? Some people just need a lower concentration but some people can’t use it all. When you used your vit a product it’s actually completely normal to experience a purging period you just have to continue using it and it will eventually go away on its own
yeah, might have been too much vit c, especially for young people. it was 20% pure vit c (the one from Wishtrend) and i was early 20, so my skin might have overreacted to too much ^^ regarding vit a: no, i don't think it was normal for me, my skin peeled off more and more, it got bigger and some parts even started bleeding bc it was so dried out (any creams from the doctor couldn't help me). the rashes also didn't go away, it got worse. my dermatologist said my skin might be too sensitive for vit a :/
Aw damn that sucks with vit a. I usually recommend Magnesium Ascorbyl phosphate 10% for those who with sensitive skin or are first time users to vit c nothing above a vit c derivative of 20% though so 20% pure asorbic acid would for most people be too much. Or even ascorbyl glucoside 12^ for a more serum like texture
Thankyou so much. I've always been confused n clueless about skincare products. Well now I can recommend my family wat to use n wat not to. Also i'll start including those ingredients in my skincare routine.
I once used BHA and after 30 minutes I applied Tamanu oil... my skin reacted so badly to this combination that it was red and itchy and with little bumps all over it for 3 or 4 days :(
Hi Liah, thank you for making such informative videos. Could you do one explaining how to get into retinol for beginners and how to properly advance into it? I'm confused with the lack of clear information out there. Thanks and you are really great!

Love how you included your references, Liah. It’s obvious how much work you put into your content and skincare line. I know you’re not a doctor or cosmetic chemist, but you certainly consult those who are! What you do matters and helps sooo many of us amateurs because you translate everything in such an interesting, layman’s way and I’m so glad I ever found your channel :’)
Of course doctors like products that bring fast results, like antibiotics. The problem is, our skin has a natural bacterial flora on it, which we need to be healthy. There is a good chance that a healthy skin flora prevents overgrowth by acne-causing bacteria - but antibiotics hurt them too! So unless you really really need antibiotics, better stay away from them. My experience was that acne came back as soon as my antibiotics treatment was over - and the whole process just left an un-colonized skin ready to take and increased the chance of a resistant strains appearing.
Therefore, I am so-so-so happy I found your channel!! I learn a lot, and ever since I started to moisturize more often, my skin looks soooo much better!
OMG.... u r so young but well experienced then other skin specialist on youtube..... thank god i finally found someone who i can rely on. Please keep up ur good deed. May Allah blass you 🙏

I didn't know niacinamide was an active! Of course I'm going to keep using to but I'm going to be a bit more cautious.
omg your skit is sooo keeeewwwtt XD
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can't agree more 😅
Using benzoyl peroxide is fine when used as “contact therapy” where you leave the product on for a short duration, 10-20 minutes. This method remains effective for treating acne and is much gentler on your skin. For those worried about using BPO, please do this instead avoiding the product all together as BPO is truly effective against acne.
can you use BP and then use rosehip oil after to moisturize?
Can we mix chemical and natural ingredients together? Like for example aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, as they are both hydrating ingredients? Thank you so much for this very useful video !
SleepingBeauty Yes, of course you can! Everything is made up of chemicals and you should have no problems combining them
Oh how I wish I’d known this like six or seven years ago when I bought several exfoliating Neutrogena products at once and used them ALL. Completely destroyed my skin barrier and caused extreme sensitivity. I’m still dealing with the after effects of that disaster. Back then I thought I could just scrub my acne away lol... 😭 I have so many regrets.
I love you Liah!!!!! ❤️❤️ I hope you can ship Krave Beauty to the Philippines 😭
Lexi Aguila we’re working on it love! Thanks for your patience ❤️
And malaysia too ❤️
And Singapore too ❤️
Yass! We are patiently waiting 😍
Yaaasss please!! 😂😂
Hey Liah ❤️ about a year ago I commented on your video about how I have tried using Rosehip Oil and was experiencing some purging, and decided to soldier through it. This morning, I’m rinsing my face and my skin have never felt this smooth and bouncy. Sure, I have acne marks fading. But never in my live have I felt my face this healthy! Thank you for the knowledge and compassion you’ve shared. Part of the process is to accept your skin and taking care of it the best way you can (like your no foundation video). Thank you!!
I’m actually typing a list of “ ingredients not to be used in the same routine” on my phone , and your video comes at perfect time ❤️❤️❤️
wow you even have citations! I love that you have actual sources to back up your video, really shows that you did your research and want to give accurate information!
Thanks Gina!
Dr. Yoo is everything lol. I look forward to her appearances 😂
Haha thanks Asif xx
why is this channel such a gem? its informative, factual and she comes from a place of experience with troubled skin. Not to mention I get a good laugh in. Love this channel needs more love
The video just started and already I'm thinking this may be one of your best ideas yet! All the accompanied research materials referenced make everything seem more reliable too, so kudos for that detail, Liah! Thanks for the insightful videos. You truly deserve all the success and love! x
Hi Liah! It is wonderful that your information is research-based! This is a big reason why I am subscribed to you. I got so tired of all the beauty vlogs that make recommendations based solely on how the product worked for them. Gotta know the ingredients!
your thumbnail for this is beautiful! Love how it's made! and can't wait to watch this video!
Thank ya!!
I am a proud user of Benzoyl Peroxide. I can make a novel about it, literally, because of how big of a help it is for my acne. Now, I only use it at night, just a pea-sized just to prevent P.Acne bacteria from growing. Before I experienced flaky skin while using it but now that my skin barrier is at its best, no more flaking + I do 7 layers of hydrating toner before it so it does not dry my skin at all.
PM Routine
oil cleanser

BP

I remember when Liah said that hydration is important for acne-prone skin SO HERE I AM with a clear and supple skin. Thank you so much Liah!
Oh amazing!
your reference list is so much longer that before! I'm so glad you hired researchers because it means better and more accurate info for us. Thank you!!!
I'm so grateful that I finally found someone that knows what she's talking about. 💖
I was wondering whether Retinoid and Niacinamide can be used together in one night routine? Appreciate your reply. Thanks!
Yep
Yes
Sharing this with my mom and friends! This was such an easy-to-follow quick guide through the different combinations that work and don't work together. Thank you so much Liah!!
Thank you Liah for the video..Ive been mixing retinoid and salicylic acid on different days of the week..in my head i always remember you sayin to better to not mix actives at one single routine. However i have a question tho, im currently using face wash that claims to have aha+bha in their products but turns out theyre at the last 2 of their ingredients list. I use the face wash everyday, and is it too much of actives? I always thought since theyre very low they wouldnt have any effect at all lol. If anyone can answer this id highly appreciate it.
Watch Dr. Dray's video for answer.
cleanser is okay because you will wash it off after..only those that stay and absorbed in your skin which you need to avoid using it everyday
@@karlaparagas4657 I watched before this, she said she didn't use bha fash wash during the night because she used retinol, am I right?
If your skin is doing fine and dont get irritated then go ahead. I dont hv sensitive skin so i do that. Its not good to hv many actives because people can experience redness etc but if u don’t then its ok.
One of my favorite video! So informational and well explained. I'd say the only thing that's confusing were the graphics of Do's and Don'ts. They look too similar and if say I were to flip back to them just to take a screenshot, i'd be confused
I made the mistake of not moisturising when I was younger since I thought that oily skin didn't need moisture but I now found out that I am so wrong and do moisturise more frequently now (still trying to make it a habit).
Another mistake was trying out too much at one time where I had 3 cleansers and that caused me to break out. I totally learn my lesson on not overdoing and just do a little at a time.
I'm still trying to find a regime that will help me clear my pimples and tighten my pores while not being overly pricey since I am on a student budget so I'll see what works for me a little at a time!
Little by little, you’re getting closer to achieving healthier skin 😌
I love how you get into the science of skincare ! It's really authentic.

This more about chemistry thooo but skin too!
Morning: Vit. C + sunscreen + moisturiser
Night: AHA (Salicylic acid) + niacinamide + moisturiser
Is it ok to use them in every single day?
Lenard Fajardo what AHA are you using? Because exfoliating acid with high concentration are not that good to use daily. But im not exactly sure tho
Also niacinamide has a ph of 5-7 and aha has around 3 ish, it might reduce the effectiveness of your skin to absorbs it as it increases the ph, and if you have sensitive skin, it may cause redness. But again im not an expert so im not quite sure 😕
@@aileenangelina8281 I already researched about these active ingredients... i've decided to only use 1 active ingredient to my acneprone skin. Thank you for your reply! 😊
hey lia do a video for pitted scars
Derma roller! Worked wonderfully for me. I think Liah has a video on it. Be careful though - use it on a Friday if you don't have any plans for the weekend. The day after I use it I have very red skin, kind of a scab and on day two it starts to peel. I go quite hardcore though, lol. Leaves my skin so soft after though! Also remember that it isn't a one-time solution, nothing is for pitted scars :( I see clear results after every time I use it, but I have used it continuously for a few months.

Real talk, she’s super right about the excitement one can get from getting each ingredient and wanting to use them all at once to reap the benefits. Recently, my skin freaked out and had one of its worst break outs since my high school years because of how rapidly I sensitized my skin using AHAs and BHAs every other day.... One day my skin felt like it was getting poked by dull needles, especially around my cheek and chin area and for an entire week my skin just started experiencing white heads in areas that were calming down. Sadly, I had to learn the hard way. But recently I’ve just been cleansing with a hydrating cleanser, and mixing the ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% with my ceraVe moisturizer and my skin has been thanking me for it. Only difference in my day and night routine is using sunscreen, and I’ve been keeping it that way with out using any sensitizing ingredients so that my skin barrier can replenish itself until I know it’s time to slowly add those strong chemicals to my skin again. PLEASEEEEE BE CAREFUL AND MINDFUL PEEPS!!!! YOUR SKIN IS ALREADY FIGHTING FOR YOU SO BE NICE TO IT!!! Thanks to Liah & Hyram, I’ve been able to learn so much!!! Keep up the works pretties ❤️
OMG same routine! Water based cleanser + the ordinary niacinamide + moisturizer + sunscreen (morning) = perfect routine.
Can you use AHA/BHA and Niacinamide in the same routine? I hope someone answers 😭
Yes u can. But please wait for some time (maybe 30min) to let BHA/AHA rest on your skin. Then you apply niaciamide.
Passachon K thank you so much!!
I tried this and this is gone wrong in my skin. Maybe because i live in such humid country so my skin just became more oily and some how became darker, so i repair that with aloe vera(real one). However, I stop mix them and my skin become better
Bcs of your videos, i change almost all my skincare routine to focusing on one active ingredient; niacinamide.
Then yesterday i use my sheet mask that I didn’t touch for so long and it really really gives me good effects; it contains ceramide. Then watch this, wow they are actually bff. The effects of this sheet mask is very different when i use it alone w/o niacinamide in my routine
Thanks a lot for your thoughtful videos, those are means a lot ❣️❣️❣️ i share your videos w/ my friends
I really love your expression when you say "oh my days" 😂😂😂 every time you make the opening,, i always 💛 it😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
I hear that gurl!!!! Very informative and I can tell you are very passionate about skin and self care! I watched you video on starting your own skincare line and I can tell you love to educate and you’re not afraid of competition so you share your research and what you know etc you know that there is room for everybody if someone wants to start their own skincare line you encourage them and don’t hold information!!!! Love it!
Thanks so much for understanding my intention! Have a great great day💚💚
here's a little summary but please watch the vid for more details

retinol + Aha
retinol + bha =can makes overdry
retinol + vit c = use it in different time am/pm
aha+vit c= can be good but with milder concentration |can be a disaster burning/irritating for sensitive skin
benzoyl peroxide + aha

aha+bha
vit c + vit e
niacin + vit c
vit c + sunscreen
niacin + NAG
niacin + skin barriers repairment
madecassoside + vit B
confuse:
bpo + aha
how about retinol and niacin?
I can understand what you’re saying but it’s a 50/50 situation because you have a lot of skin care products that are systems and created with various products that has to be applied to the face. My dermatologist said it was fine that i use my Tret 0.1 with my hydroquinone and then i moisturize. The results are fantastic
I find mixing AHA and Vitamin C is amazing!! I always wake up with an amazing glow even after washing my face and super soft skin. But my face is like a rock when it comes to sensitivity but I dont wanna risk anything
I mixing my BPO and vitamin C and my skin became worst 😭😭😭
I love the fact that how much depth of knowledge you have my liah🥂💋💋
Thanks Kirti!
Apparently, my cosrx cleanser has salicylic (bha) in it, and i use a toner right after which is from rire and contains niacinamide. -and it stings my face and leave it bloody red. Guess i should use them separately.
Lenheim Sy wait really? :( i just bought the ordinary niacinamide, guess i should use them separately
@@uyeuye513 unfortunately yes, that was what happened to me. But i read that some get good results upon mixing them. U never know for your skin type, so maybe test it out first.
Love you liah! You are a great youtube influencer. You are not sharing skincare products just to endorse you also share information for us to help regarding this matter and to know more about the things that we are applying to our face. 💕
Thank you!
"So make sure you grab a pen and a paper and let's get started"
I was fuc*ing holding a pen and a paper when you said that lmao
This is very helpful. As someone who has been to a lot of dermatologists, I feel that the topic of protecting skin barrier isn’t emphasized enough. I’ve previously been prescribed with salicylic acid containing product along with azelaic acid, clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide and adapalene. 😅 Can’t say it didn’t work because it did but the clarity does not last. This really makes me feel that skin barrier restoration might be the next thing for me. Thank you for yet another great video, Liah! 😊
Skin barrier is everything😆
Very useful informations!! Thanks😊
Hey Liah! i think it would be best to sum this video up if all the info is in a document or a spreadsheet! that way you dont have to explain each individual combination and create a 3 hour video, and us viewers can have a better understanding of what to and not to mix ❤️
To combine AHA and BHA, which should you apply first?
Bha first
Niacinamide + Retinoid/retinol. I was told by my doctor that niacinamide helps with reducing the side effects of retinoid/retinol (skin dryness and prevents sensitized skin). So basically before you start using retinoid/retinol, you would need to use niacinamide everyday for a few weeks. After a few weeks you could then combine them in the same regime- niacinamide is applied first followed by retinoid (water base is applied first before any oil base products).
Can I use a Aha+Bha toner with a Niacinamide serum?
I’m really confused 😅
I am asking the same question. Please answer
Me too 😅
What's the difference of using serum that contains niacin + aha/bha??? 😯😯😯
I wanna know too
Weem I do it all the time and for me it works a lot better to lighten pigmentation.
try it for a week/month and see if your skin likes it
i love the way you tell us about the ingridient, thanksss
So AHA (glycolic acid) and Niacinamide is okay to wear in the same routine?
I would say as long as they are not mixed or layered on top of the other it should be okay
Could you do a video about skin infections that cause acne? I love the way you present information about skincare topics and the science is really easy to understand! Plus this topic would really help me, I’ve done some research on the topic but I haven’t been able to come to a solid conclusion on what I should do to treat the infection. I live for you videos so please keep posting!!! 💕💖
Hello, Liah!
Can I use Niacinamide and Retinol together? Thank you! 😘
Ken Bathan same question
Yes
What is the best foundation to use if you have acne? Never know what to use cover up redness but still not make acne worse or more breakouts. Love you!
Honestly wondering the same thing !!!
Hi, so if I use a toner w/glycolic acid, a serum w/ vitamin c and a moisturizer that contains vitamin A. Am I doing too much?
I think she said A at night and C in the morning
I know this is an older video, but I need to tell you that if is fabulous!! The knowledge in here needs to be known by everyone! Thank you so much!!♥️💜
OMG I loved the intro 😂
Haha💕
I love it, when you talking about active ingredients topic. I pretty much concern about labels a lot now.
I literally take note of everything hehehe. Thank you,Liah! 🇵🇭
Thank you for all the time and work you put into making this video. It was very helfpul!
Niacinamide and AHA/BHA?
Nathalie Mendre you shouldn’t use acids with niacinamide cause when you mix it then it creates niacin which can cause temporary reddened skin
@@HotPotato9922 what if i use it rarely, i mean in the morning i use niacinamide and in the night i use aha bha. is it okay? cause i need to exfoliate my skin but i need niacinamide too :(
indri purwaningrum that’s okay I meant when you’re using niacynamide and right after that an acid if you’re using it at two different day times I guess that should be okay you just shouldn’t mix it in one routine like morning or night
@@HotPotato9922 i just found a product named avoskin serum. It contains aha bha and niacinamide 😦 im confused now 😭
indri purwaningrum I would recommend you to use this page www.google.at/amp/s/theskincareedit.com/.amp/2019/05/14/niacinamide-aha-bha
I'm new to this channel/ person, and I think I've fallen instantly in love! What a beautiful, lovely woman.
hi can i mix salicylic acid with rosehip oil or tea tree oil?
I need to know this too!
I think yes because there already are a lot of products with this mixture
유튜브 뷰티채널에서 이렇게 필수적으로 중요한 정보만 콕콕찝어서 교육(?)해주는 영상도 없는 거같다..😢 Liah! I always love your super informative videos.
I hate vitamin c products whenever I use a serum I get discoloration my skin get dull and dark , I'm big on spf my skin handle pretty much anything from glycolic 20% night cream to retin a successfully. I just gave up on vit c !!!
it could be pretty tricky for sure. I haven't found 'the one' yet either!
By the way, vit C gets an orange tint over the day (Maillard reaction) but it goes away when you wash the layer off.
Same. I have spent my way through many a vitamin c product. My skin gets a shade darker and then brightens up after I stop using it... I found arbutin works better for me.
Yazid Alami same vitamin C is that girlfriend you can’t ever satisfy lol
Gemma O which Arbutin are you using? I used to use the Ordinary but stop using their products due to more products working against me then with me lol.
Thank youu for this video. I am aware of Salicylic Acid & Benzoyl Peroxide being best to be seperate, and having always moisturized beforehand. So I typically have been cleansing twice a day lately, to control my acne into clearer, healthier skin.
Morning regimen has been, cleansing the face with lukewarm water & 2% Salicylic Acid cleanser, cool water in replacement of toner for now & to help cool the skin down. Patting dry with a clean towel.
Then moisturizing (lips & undereyes included). And SPF 30 sunscreen as needed here.
Nightly, *lukewarm water, then a cool water rinse when done with the milk cleanser* a pH balanced, almond milk cleanser. Moisturizer.
Using a Q-tip cotton swab to apply 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, and I keep it as a leave-in product.
So far, this has been very effective.
Today for a first, I did mix the two, but knowingly will continue how I have been doing above. So I appreciate your helpful video, and researcher based content!
*Products I use, that's effectively been helping my hormonal based acne, is Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash or Neutrogena's Rapid, Clear, Stubborn Acne Foaming Scrub (both are 2% Salicylic Acid).
Moisturizer is Eucerin's Original Healing Lotion (safe & is an antifungal product; an hydrating, rich emollient lotion).
Andalou Naturals' Apricot Milk Cleanser & Benzoyl Peroxide for the night regimen, Neutrogena's Rapid, Clear, Stubborn Acne Leave-In Mask (2.5%) or I was intending to get their maximum strength 10% 》 Neutrogena's Rapid, Clear, Stubborn Acne Gel, but I started off with a low dose. Always moisturize first, and then use the Benzoyl Peroxide product, and always use spf 30 sunscreen!
My sunscreen is also, Christina Moss Naturals SPF 30 Suncreen from Amazon, the above products are all available at CVS within the states*
Is it good to use niaciamide and AHA/BHA together????
Ze Rin it will work better if you used it separately!!
What is your option on Differin? Would you recommend it as a gentle vitamin a, anti aging or blemish clearing gel? Can you do a video on how to start incorporating vitamin a into your skincare in a safe way? LOVE YOU!
Can I mix vitamin C and azelaic acid ??? 😳😳
Very true! I used AHA in the morning and Retinol at night for my acne. It got worsened. I got many painful bumps on my face
I needed this 😭😭😭😭
Just in time when I’ve just bought stuff from TO and is currently confused about which to and not to mix! Thank you Liah! 💚
What about alpha lipoid acid?
MarqueeMoon shouldn’t be use with other actives such as retinol, acids?, and vit c because it’s really strong on its own
absolutely love how much research you done to produce this high quality video!
Hello Dr. Yoo! Are there any pore tunnel clearing alternatives to salicylic acid? My skin doesn’t react well to it, if I leave it overnight (like CosRx BHA toner), my skin gets kind of warm and tight, and if I apply and rinse it off after 10-20 minutes, it doesn’t work very effectively for my pores and can cause pimples. I developed a bad sensitivity to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid by massively overusing in high school.
RosieWeasley good question hopefully she answers because I would like to know the answer to that as well!
Try azelaic acid (20% ideally). Keep with the BHA maybe try to compensate the dryness with moisturizer or use a lotion form ? (PC's 2% BHA lotion) You can still use it as a mask and then use azelaic acid.
I don't know about you, but I haven't had blackheads since I started double cleansing (that's like 4 years ago)
Thu Tran I’ve been double cleansing for a while now, my pores fill up very quickly
pikachuiswatchingyou I will look into azelaic acid. I don’t really want to irritate my skin with BHA
Thank you so much for explaining & breaking down the active ingredient. It's going to help me understand what to look for .
What about bha and niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a weak base (see its suffix!) and bha is an acid, so it’s optimal to keep them separated for at least some duration of time! Bha also works best at a lower pH; with acids, apply, wait for a few minutes, then apply the rest of your routine
i can only speak for myself of course but i get great results using them together, and i always use the niacinamide right after the bha with zero issue, the exfoliation just enhances the results for me
@@corrobboree BHA still works at neutral pH and niacinamide is extremely stable. There are creams combining niacinamide + BHA, but neutral BHA.
True! I think it does depend on your skin however, given that non-enzymatic hydrolysis is more likely to occur at low pHs --> niacin production (which can generate pretty extensive flushing and prickling even at very low levels). If your skin isn't sensitive, then this may be a nonissue, but this could be something to bear in mind for sensitive skin sufferers
Usually people say not to mix them up or to wait at least 15-30 minutes after using each.
I personally didn't know that my essence contained niacinamide, and so i used bha right after it. Big mistake. I messed up my skin, it was red and dry and hurting and it stung whenever I applied stuff, couldn't even handle honey. Luckily I eventually understood what was going on. I'll personally never use both of them together in one routine (even when I wait, my skin gets irritated), so I just use one at a time.
Love your channel and tips, Liah. I get really excited when you upload a video. I've struggled with acne and the only ingredient that has been keeping my acne at bay for over 9 years is BPO, but I have a very sensitive skin and rosacea and, as you said and I agree, BPO is very sensitizing, well...I have oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin. I've already tried other active ingredients, like AHA, BHA, Niacinamide, but none of them work as well as BPO for my acne skin, then I have to use moisturizer to prevent my skin from getting more sensitive. Though sometimes moisturizers don't really work out as well. It's really annoying. I really don't know how to sort this out.
Having acne for 9 years does tell you something! Have you asked for professional help to look into your internal health? There must be an imbalance somewhere!
What about niacinamide and retinol?
Yes please I have the same question!
I have been using this combination for a few months now, successfully. No bad reactions. The niacinamide helps sooth the irritation from the retinol. I tried applying the retinol before and after. It's about preference. If you are concerned always test patch on your arm for a few days.
I'm very thankful for this human being. All of your videos was so helpful to me, for just researching or maybe just learning. One of my fav youtubers! #PalmPalmFam here 🌴🤗
Hi, what would you suggest for dull, dehydrated, congested that’s acne prone and can break out if the wrong product is used? Thank you for sharing! GOD BLESS.

Something I’ve learned is to avoid anything with fragrance even if it’s “natural” I love using aloe vera for some moisture the undyed one
Wow, i’m majoring in biology and chemistry and so surprised that you really studied a lot!!!

Thanks Claire 🤓
Hey Liah 😊 What about mixing Niacinamid and Bha or Aha ?
For example At night when I exfoliate and after that if I apply the ordinary Naiacinamid %10 and Zinc %1 over it , will this combo irritate my skin?
Don’t mix it! I heard it isn’t good.
What about lactic acid 10% from the ordinary followed by the niaciamide from the ordinary.
Love they Are safe to mix together, I also do that in my routine 🤗
سالي oh ok thank u so much :)
Wish you're my friend in real life or big sister, ms. Liah! Theres too much information to swallow. Really need to invest your time in researching about the skin care products you're using. But thank you so much for this! ❤
Very helpful indeed.Please do it with the actual products like cosrx,klairs etc which will work best in combination.Thank you Liah💕💕
i have sensitive skin, i broke out when i used a vit c serum or the missha fermented dupe serum for the ski II one T___T what alternatives would you suggest for me? (also very, very sensitive to vit a! my skin peeled off and i had rashes...)
nowadays i kinda only use snail creams since the benton snail line saved my skin many years ago.
Sodium / Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
i think so, too. OR my skin was just too sensitive at that time or the serum was too rich for me...i now bought sample sizes from skII (which already cost me 20€ for 2 tiny bottles that will last me maybe 1 week), we'll see how my skin reacts. if the original and the holy mother of all fermented goods breaks me out, i'll give up xD
A lot of people with sensitive skin get irritated by vit c, do you know what percentage you had? Some people just need a lower concentration but some people can’t use it all. When you used your vit a product it’s actually completely normal to experience a purging period you just have to continue using it and it will eventually go away on its own
yeah, might have been too much vit c, especially for young people. it was 20% pure vit c (the one from Wishtrend) and i was early 20, so my skin might have overreacted to too much ^^
regarding vit a: no, i don't think it was normal for me, my skin peeled off more and more, it got bigger and some parts even started bleeding bc it was so dried out (any creams from the doctor couldn't help me). the rashes also didn't go away, it got worse. my dermatologist said my skin might be too sensitive for vit a :/
Aw damn that sucks with vit a. I usually recommend Magnesium Ascorbyl phosphate 10% for those who with sensitive skin or are first time users to vit c nothing above a vit c derivative of 20% though so 20% pure asorbic acid would for most people be too much. Or even ascorbyl glucoside 12^ for a more serum like texture
Thankyou so much. I've always been confused n clueless about skincare products. Well now I can recommend my family wat to use n wat not to. Also i'll start including those ingredients in my skincare routine.
Can Tamanu Oil be mixed with Vit C or AHA or BHA?
I once used BHA and after 30 minutes I applied Tamanu oil... my skin reacted so badly to this combination that it was red and itchy and with little bumps all over it for 3 or 4 days :(
Paulina Javiera ohmygod! That’s bad😭😭😭 I also once use vit c with tamanu oil, it works really well tho! Maybe the bha or aha is too much for tamanu 🙃
Paulina Javiera or maybe u can use it alternately like one day with AHA/BHA and the other day is Tanamu oil.
linh nguyễn yes, that’s what I’m doing now and it works perfectly 😁
Hi Liah, thank you for making such informative videos. Could you do one explaining how to get into retinol for beginners and how to properly advance into it? I'm confused with the lack of clear information out there. Thanks and you are really great!
