Thank you for this presentation. After a visit with my doctor this morning, when he commented on a dark yellow-ish patch on my neck, I wondered if I might be using my CeraVe Vitamin C Serum incorrectly. YES! So, now I will be following your advice, Melissa. Again, thanks so much!
Hello Melissa, I just wanted to thank you for your skincare posts. Even though I'm over 50, I'm new to skincare routines and your videos are my go to. You explain everything clearly and concisely making it's so easy to follow. My chosen products have been, e.l.f. But I moved on to The Ordinary, then I tried Cerave which I love. So I was delighted to find you covered Cerave also! Thank you again for your help along the way. Best wishes!
Hey! 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! 😊 Yes, I cover several brands. Although, I haven't tried e.l.f. I'm not sure if I can get their products here. 🤔
You were so precise and direct,,,, thank you so much, been having this skin battle but since I started using cerave it's been a smooth journey for me... Thank you so much
A very informative video as always Melissa! You just addressed all my concerns! I think I'm going to apply Vitamin C at night as suggested and switch Niacinamide for the morning.
Hello 😃 Glad to hear that 💕 It seems to be an issue when using Ascorbic Acid formulations; I am getting so many comments about it. And I am not entirely sure if it is the formulation of the Ascorbic Acid serums/creams that matters or if it is because of the sunscreen that people use. Since I also think that some brands are very dubious and may not give the desired protection or the protection mentioned on the packaging, the Vitamin C gets influenced so that it may lead to other issues when exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore I suggest being careful when doing so or using a "trusted" brand if you can. And thank you 🥰
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Yes the LA ROCHE POSAY - Sunscreen Anthelios SPF comes highly recommended by a lot of people. I am planning on switching to it soon. Thank you for the pointers again! Much love!🥰
Hi Dear, Can I use CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum with Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 in the morning? Which should I use first? Hyaluronic or vitamin C? Thanks in advance ❤
Can the vitamin c serum be used after T.O mandelic acid? Is it best to avoid panoxyl 4% when/if combining these two products? Routine looks like this: AM: Panoxyl 4% cleanser Snail mucin T.O Alpha arbutin Dermtlgy acne serum (benzyl 5%) La roche tinted spf 50 PM: La roche foaming cleanser Panoxyl 4% cleanser Snail mucin Alpha arbutin Mandelic acid Vitamin c Alternate PMs: Panoxyl cleanser Snail mucin Alpha arbutin Drmtlgy acne serum Spf Am I using panoxyl too much? When first started using was no issue, but now feeling slight irritated and breakouts forming. I also was prescribed clindamycin, but didnt help much and dont know where to add in routine if i should Ty so much in advance! Your channel is soo helpful and informative!
I'm curious to know about your initial skincare routine. Was it just clindamycin? Did you add the other products yourself? Because I suspect that these additional products might be causing issues. Essentially, cleansing your face with a mild foaming cleanser (like the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser) and then applying clindamycin once or twice daily should be effective. However, it can take some time to see the full effects, often several weeks. How long have you been using it? But overall I would also suggest going back to a simpler routine.
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ❤ Ty for replying so quickly! Started breaking out after getting off BC and routine was similar minus the panoxyl and drmtlgy. Only used cerave foaming cleanser n PM and african black soap n AM and snail, T.O Arbutin both at night. Main concerns is post acne hyperpigmentation, which last very long on me and controlling acne flare-ups. Added back in vitamins c and mandelic within last month since I've used them before but wasn't sure if would help better together. Dr suggested clindamycin this past month and am new to it. Was reading BP works better with it. My skin is veryyyy sensitive and have grown a tolerance to certain T.O products without it causing another flare up. I use Glycolic acid occasionally, but mandelic is more gentle. I used to use niacinamide but think that broke me out also. Drmtlgy acne serum has helped with spot treatment, but lately been using whole face. I know your not supposed to mix BP with vitamin C/mandelic acid and so trying to have a routine with the ones most helpful and beneficial in helping address my concerns. Ty in advance
Okay. When getting off birth control (BC), the body needs time to get back in balance. I've had this issue too, and it took my body over a year to adjust again. In the beginning, I had massive acne flare-ups on my face, and even on my back and chest. However, over time, it has lessened and completely stopped on my back and chest. For me, this routine has worked the best: th-cam.com/video/zq9w8rd8rd8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_6RZ9HZVCc587V2a However, since your doctor prescribed you Clindamycin, I recommend keeping it simple. You may be able to use your BP cleanser (if it's a 4% one) together with Clindamycin. However, if that's too potent, consider using a mild foaming cleanser instead. AM: Mild Foaming Cleanser or BP Cleanser Alpha Arbutin (Optional) Moisturizer suitable for your skin type SPF (if exposed to the sun) PM: Mild Foaming Cleanser, and then you may be able to follow with your BP Cleanser Clindamycin (Optional) Moisturizer suitable for your skin type
Ty so much for your feedback! Your video helps so much. Is there any serum you recommend I incorporate for hyperpigmentation in this recommended routine? I also have lifeflo rosehip oil, could I incorporate that? Sorry for too many Qs
@@Calizone26 You may have a chance with Alpha Arbutin or Niacinamide. However, the Retinol/Retinoid mentioned in the video also helps with that to some extent, as it stimulates the skin to increase the skin cell turnover. Over time, your hyperpigmentation becomes less. Still, keep in mind that the skin also tries to heal itself, which takes time.
Hey, kindly suggest me that when should I use CeraVe vitamin C serum and when should I use Ordinary Alpha arbutin? I’m confused… And is it compulsory to use moisturiser after using Vitamin C serum?
Thank you for this video! It was super helpful, I wanted to ask where in my routine would I add the vitamin C. I use the ordinary Niacinamide and hylaronic acid every night and day. But I don’t know if I could include vitamin C into the routine, and how. I hope you can help me out!
Do you use the Vitamin C shown in the video? If so, you should not use it with The Ordinary Niacinamide since they conflict. You could use this in the morning or evening instead of Niacinamide after Hyaluronic Acid.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ah, yes I have the cerave vitamin C. But I wasn’t sure how to use it yet, so I was doing research first. Thank you so much for responding and for helping me!

Hi Melissa , i bought this cera ve vit c serum I opened it the same day i bought it , and the color of this serum is not cloudy white as shown in many videos on TH-cam Mine was a little yellowish (not much just a little bit) I'm really worried about it 😔 Kindly tell me is it effective to use?
Yeah, the main reason for this is often the storage conditions at the retailers. Vitamin C is very sensitive to light, heat, and air, which can cause it to change color and oxidize. They say if it's only a little discolored, it's not a concern and you can still use it. I'm not entirely sure about that, as you'd need to run tests to verify, which some companies claim to have done... 😉
thank u so much for this video!! i just bought mine but im doing research first before using it so i hope u could help me out :)) for morning, i use the cerave sa cleanser then the am facial lotion with spf.. and as for night, i use the hydrating cleanser from cerave, resurfing retinol serum (cerave), and the pm facial lotion. I just wanna know if it's okay to add this vitamin c serum in my morning routine after using the sa cleanser? do u think this routine is good?
hii! should i use this at day or night? at day, i use cleanser and moisturizer with spf and at night, cleanser with renewing moisturizer. when do u recommended to use?
You can use it morning or evening as long as you follow with SPF during the daytime, it shouldn't be an issue. So test it and see when you like it most :)
Very informative indeed. I use the Aveeno foaming cleanser( with salicylic acid) and the Cerave vitamin C serum. Are those 2 safe to use together? Also, I just bought the ordinary Niacinamide 10% because I heard it does wonder. When should I apply it, should I mix it with both of those 2 products listed above or use Niacinamide separately (PM) and the others in the AM?
Yes, the Aveeno foaming cleanser can be used before Cerave vitamin C serum. With Niacinamide, it is a bit controversial. But since you are using CeraVe vitamin C serum, which contains Ascorbic Acid (pure vitamin c), it's best not to use them at the same time since, according to The Ordinary, they can react. It's unknown if this has any negative aspects to both, but you potentially lose the benefits. So use one in the morning and the other in the evening.
Hello, can I use LA porche vitamin c serum with cerave moisturizer, or do I need to use it with same brand, cerave serum with cerave moisturizer and LA porche serum with LA porche moisturizer..can you please confirm on this...
Does CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum can be use not just in the face and neck but also into your body? Like if your elbow is dark or dark inner thighs? Since it is for uneven skin tone.
Yes, that's fine! However, you may also just want to look into an AHA (Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid) product instead to loosen the dead skin cells, which then should help to reduce the darkness which usually appears in those areas :)
Yes, you can still use it, but you may need to add an additional hyaluronic acid serum or a light gel-based moisturizer, as it may not be hydrating enough.
It's fine to use it after HA, however, do not use it with Buffet in the same routine. Buffet should not be used with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) or Exfoliating Acids in the same routine.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet wow thank you so much! I’m glad I asked or I would’ve paired them haha 😬. Ok and a follow up question sorry haha. Do you think it would be okay to use in the same routine as the Round Lab Dokdo Toner (if you’re familiar with that product) or The Ordinary’s Retinoid in squalene?
I just bought this product, and tried it out today . I applied it under my eyes too and applied cerave eye cream over it and a moisturizer all over but i saw the skin around my eyes and under eye turn orange . 😩 Idk why ?????
Vitamin C serums can turn orange when they are exposed to air, heat, light, or changes in pH. This color change is a sign that the vitamin C has oxidized and is no longer effective. When you apply a vitamin C serum to your skin, it can sometimes be absorbed quickly, leaving a thin layer on the surface of the skin. If you then apply a moisturizer on top, it can mix with the serum and create a higher pH environment, which can cause the vitamin C to oxidize more quickly, leading to the orange color change. To prevent this from happening, you can try waiting a few minutes after applying your vitamin C serum to allow it to fully absorb into the skin before applying your moisturizer.

Sounds like pilling!

@@kookachu6409 How do you use it?
Can you share your step-by-step routine...after washing your face, what's the next step you take?
Also, how much do you use?
