    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!

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 🥰

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial

      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.

  • @braaaj
    @braaaj 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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?

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    at night i wash my face with the same cleanser, then i use the resurfacing retinol serum and moisturize with the pm moisturizer. do you think it will be a good routine for my skin type? thank you for the very informative video by the way!

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว

      The routine looks good. But the vitamin c "serum" is a bit heavy. So, in my opinion, it isn't an excellent option for oily skin. However, if you do not feel that way, there is no need to change it. Good luck with the routine; I hope it will improve your concerns.

    I'm really worried about it 😔
    Kindly tell me is it effective to use?

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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... 😉

      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.

      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.

    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.
