I think you ALWAYS should apply moisturizer that’s what seals in the moisturizer. If you don’t apply any you could develop dry skin patches or have irritated skin especially since you’re using many treatments. Use a moisturizer it doesn’t have to be a thick one. It can thin or a gel consistency if you’d like. I’ve heard a dermatologist says this too.
Thank you for your statement. It is important to note that skincare routines and recommendations should be based on individual needs and preferences. While some treatments may cause dryness, not everyone may require a moisturizer or may prefer to use one. It is also important to be mindful of any product recommendations and links, as they may not always be trustworthy or credible.
I've always wanted to try the said serum, but I wanted to combine it with my skin care routine. Not sure if it's a good combination with my cleanser, so I started my research. No thanks to your video it gave a better explanation of what to use without using other cleansers that might irritate the skin. 😊
Can you please tell me if I can used niacinamide serum zinc 1%? If yes can you also tell if I should used the discoloration first or the niacinamide first
Hey! 😊 I generally don't recommend applying leave-on products, exfoliating acid cleansers, or masks to the eyelids. The skin there is thinner, making it more sensitive and increasing the risk of the product getting into your eyes.
Hello! I have a few questions! This is my morning routine - cleansing balm cerave - cleanser vanicream - clindamycin - moisturizer - sunscreen i was wondering i can use the good molecules discoloration serum if im using clindamycin and if i use it before the clindamycin? my night routine - cleansing balm (same as morning) - cleanser sodium sufacetamide 10% - moisturizer is it still fine to use the discoloration serum if i’m on the sodium sufacetamide wash?
Hey! 😊 Why do you use a balm cleanser in the AM? I'm not too sure if you can use Good Molecules Discoloration serum with your current acne treatments. It would be best to check this with your doctor. If you can use it, apply it before Clindamycin but after the Sodium Sufacetamide wash.

Hey again! :) Have you already watched the following videos? How to Build a Skincare Routine and What Products Do I Need?: th-cam.com/video/8gLrr2wbi_8/w-d-xo.html How to use COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence with Retinol: th-cam.com/video/7EopfznmLdc/w-d-xo.html
Hi Melissa! I just recently but the hyaluronic acid serum, niacinamide serum, and discolouration serum and they are all by good molecules. I’m just lost on what order I should start? Because I know that when using the hyaluronic acid we have to keep our face damp. Can you please let me know what’s the order ? Thank you ♥️
Hello 🙃 No, that is a common misconception. The face does not need to be damp for Hyaluronic Acid to be effective. It is just as effective on dry skin, but you should avoid applying it to wet skin. Sadly, some dermatologists on TH-cam and social media are showing this, but I really do not know why someone would do that 😒. Anyway, you have three water-based serums, so you can layer them in any order. Here's what you can do: Clean your face with your favorite cleanser. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel (if you want to know the difference between wet and damp skin, click here: th-cam.com/video/xNUUUr81rLE/w-d-xo.html). Apply your first serum. Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute. Apply the next serum. Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute. Apply the next serum.
What toner do you have, and how do you apply it? However, you can take a look at these tips: melissavandijk.docdroid.com/4x0pG1a/cleanse-and-pat-dry-how-to-avoid-skincare-pilling-pptx
Hello ma'am.. can I ask for your advice on the proper order for my skincare routine. I'm looking to incorporate the Good Molecules Discoloration Serum into my routine, but I'm not sure where it fits in. Currently, I use the following products: 1. Cleanser 2. Dr. Klairs Vitamin C 3. Good Molecules Discoloration Serum 4. Moisturizer Could you please let me know if this is the correct order? I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you for your time and expertise.
I explained the moisturizer step very well in this video. Now, when it comes to vitamin C, it depends on the formulation. If it is water-based, use it before. If it is oil-based, use it after.
I would not recommend using it alongside these products, as it can be very potent. It's better to create a separate evening routine, perhaps incorporating Vitamin C or Retinol instead.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hey Mellissa . My question is , can i use Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner after washing my face with Pan oxly Benzol peroxide 4% .. Im asking this cause i read somewhere that Benzol peroxide should not be used with Alpha Arbutin and Vitamic C.. of which The Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner also has got a derivative of Vitamin C and also Alpha Arbutin
Hi Melissa!! Thank you for your informative videos!! Can you tell me how I can layer these items, or which one goes on my face first? Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum Good Molecules Brightening Toner I understand usually the toner comes first, but the Good Molecules Brightening Toner seems to be a bit heavier than the Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum.
I am using snail musin on damp skin then cetaphill moisturizer and then differn gel this routine has been working for pimples but i want to add good molecules discoloration serum for my hyperpigmentation can u plz describe what order is to apply these products?? Thanks
It would be: Clean face Pat dry Apply snail mucin Wait 1-2 minutes Apply Differin gel Wait 2 minutes Apply Good Molecules discoloration serum Wait 2 minutes Apply Cetaphil moisturizer However, I think that's a bit much. A simpler routine would be: Clean face Pat dry Apply Differin gel Wait a couple of minutes Apply Cetaphil moisturizer
Hello! Great video! I had a question regarding new skincare routines I just bought good molecules hyaluronic acid serum and the discoloration serum. I want to know how I can incorporate them into my skincare routine Before my skincare routine looked like this: Am: Cleanser Vitamin C serum from cera V Moistrisure Sunscreen Pm: Cleanser Glycolic acid from the ordinary Bio oil
Well, there are many ways, but it would likely be best to create a second evening skincare routine. In this routine, you can use these products to alternate with glycolic acid. PM2: Cleanse face. Pat dry. Apply hyaluronic acid. Wait a minute. Apply the discoloration serum.
I love your instructional videos I used this a while ago my only issue was that I had to use it for a very long time before I saw results now that I've switched over to the ordinary I already see results after only three weeks thank you for this ♥️
Hope u will answer my question mam....when ever I use retinol and next day when I go out in sun my skin start tinkling/pinning/ burning effect on my face even if I use sunscreen every day.....plz suggest me how I can go out in sun ...as I'm in police job 🚓 so I can't use external cloth for covering my face with my uniform and even I have to be in field in such hot day I can't sit in shade ....I reapply my sunscreen but still my skin is getting burnt and pigmented ...plz tell me how I can protect my skin from sun while using retinol.
@@Manpreetkaur-vq4oo Hmm, okay, well, you could try to use it less often to see if that helps. And if you have a lot of sun exposure, there is no way to keep the skin fully protected that way; you always have some sun rays reaching the skin. Additionally, the effectiveness of sunscreen can be reduced by factors such as incorrect application and excessive sweating. You could also try to change the formulation by using another brand maybe The Ordinary sunscreen, which is in the same price range, or another formulation I like is COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream (SPF 50), which should also be available in your area.
Generally, it does not have any conflicts. However, the more treatments you use in a routine, the greater the chance that your skin can become overwhelmed, leading to potential irritation.
Hey Melissa .. I really love your videos .. may you kindly reply to my questions. I want to use the following product in my morning skincare routine . 1) Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner . 2) Good Molecules Discoloration Serum 3) The Ordinary 10% Niacianimide and 1% Zinc 4) The Ordinary Hylurinic acid . 5) The Ordinary Rosehip seed oil to lock in moisture 6) Mosturizer . My question is .. how do i layer the 6 products above . Especially considering that the Good Molecules Discoloration Serum is quite thicker than Rose hip seed oil and hylurinic acid from the ordinary . And do i apply rosehip seed oil after my mosturizer or before my mosturizer. Kindly assist sis💖💖💖
Hey again! :) Use your Niacinamide and HA serums before applying the Discoloration Serum, then follow with the oil and moisturizer. However, do you really need so many products? What are your specific skin concerns?
Hello! Thank you for your videos! I am a newbie in skincare and I have learned a lot from you. Do you mind if I ask, would you recommend tu use this serum along with other acids in the same routine? Aka salicylic acid and on top of that hyaluronic acid? TIA!
Hey! :) Yes, this can work! Just make sure to include skincare products in your routine that specifically target your skin type and concerns. This way, you can keep the routine simple and minimize the chances of skin irritation.
Well, it depends on what you do afterwards. So, let's say you use it to fade your hyperpigmentation that you got from sun damage, and it works. Then, if you go outside and do not protect your skin, the hyperpigmentation will come back, and you can start all over again.
This is too much product being used in one day. I don’t like packing 8 products on my face. I shouldn’t have to use all those products to get the results I want. I’m real simple 2 product should be good enough. I have been using Cera Ve and Discoloration correcting serum for 4days and I see very very little results.
As mentioned in the video, you don't have to use all those products-these steps are optional. It's fine to stick with just your cleanser and serum, and that's it. What kind of hyperpigmentation do you have? Is it from the sun, acne, melasma, freckles, birthmarks, or something else? Also, you won't see any results in such a short time.
I think you ALWAYS should apply moisturizer that’s what seals in the moisturizer. If you don’t apply any you could develop dry skin patches or have irritated skin especially since you’re using many treatments. Use a moisturizer it doesn’t have to be a thick one.

Can you please tell me if I can used niacinamide serum zinc 1%? If yes can you also tell if I should used the discoloration first or the niacinamide first
Are you referring to the 10% Niacinamide serum? If so, use it first, wait 30 seconds to 1 minute, then layering the Discoloration serum on top.
I’m using the Good molecule niacinamide brightening toner in my routine, Do I have to avoid eyelids with that product too?
Hey! 😊
I generally don't recommend applying leave-on products, exfoliating acid cleansers, or masks to the eyelids. The skin there is thinner, making it more sensitive and increasing the risk of the product getting into your eyes.
Do you recommend to only use discoloration serum only in the routine or also add hyaluronic??
This depends on your preference. It’s not wrong to use the discoloration serum on its own-all the other steps are optional.

After cleansing, pat your skin dry and then apply the serum.
Can I use Paul’s choice nah exfoliation after cleanser in the evening and then use toner after and then finally the discolouration serum??
yes, or also the other way around the hydrating toner before the exfoliant.

Should I use moisturiser before discolouration serum or after? And what if I want to add vit c too? What will be the sequence then?
I explained the moisturizer step very well in this video. Now, when it comes to vitamin C, it depends on the formulation. If it is water-based, use it before. If it is oil-based, use it after.
Ma'am which discoloration serum is good Paula's choice or Good molecules.
Both are great, but Paula's Choice formulations tend to be a bit better. Still, I think it's not worth the extra expense, unless you don't mind. ;)
Wait so you can use sunscreen just by itself? You don’t have to use moisturiser before?
correct.
When does retinol or vitamin c serum comes in the rountine
I would not recommend using it alongside these products, as it can be very potent. It's better to create a separate evening routine, perhaps incorporating Vitamin C or Retinol instead.
can I use Benzoyl peroxide and Good modecules serum together?
