Will definitely try this routine. Have tried your other routines as well and they really did a great job on my fixing my skin problems. 🥰
What a great way to show us how to use the ordinary skin care i love how simple and straightforward you are thank you for all your wonderful videos this is a good one!❤
Thank you so much!🥰
Seriously you saved my face I always asked myself this and I was even very afraid to do it without having information thank you 😊
You're welcome! ❤️
Hi Melissa,thank you for sharing the steps how to combine alpha Arbutin with glycolic toner.I had no idea that this combination was possible.I learned from your channel that some products works good together and can do wonders for the skin.
🥰
as usual love the way u demo the steps and products like no other
Thank you so much!🥰
Your videos are so informative
Thanks for this video so much !!! 💕💕
Hi, I loved this video. I have normal to dry skin and I'm about to buy the azaleic acid, glycolic acid and alpha arbutin for my hyperpigmentation and textured skin. Can you tell me how I would incorporate this in my am and pm routine please? Thank you!
Since you have normal to dry skin, I recommend using a moisturizer afterward.
Like this:
AM:
Cleanser
Alpha Arbutin (on the are you want to treat)
Azelaic Acid
Moisturizer (on the areas you feel the need)
SPF
PM:
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid 7%
Alpha Arbutin(on the are you want to treat)
Moisturizer(on the areas you feel the need)
Make sure to choose a moisturizer that's suitable for your skin.
Also you can watch this video so that you understand how to layer them:

Hii thank you so much for your videos, these ones are so helpful and so easy to understand 😍 do you know if this Routine would be great for me? (I have an oily skin, a bit of acne and hyperpigmentation) :
AM : Alpha Arbutin + Niacinamide + Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% + SPF
PM : Glycolic Acid 7% (toning solution) + Alpha Arbutin + Niacinamide
Or maybe is it too much ?
Thanks 🤗
Hello Clara,
I recommend doing it like this to avoid skin irritation:
AM:
Cleanser
Azelaic Acid
SPF
PM:
Cleanser
Alpha Arbutin
Niacinamide
(Optional Hydrating oil or Moisturizer)
PM2: (2-3times a week)
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid
Alpha Arbutin
Niacinamide
(Optional Hydrating oil or Moisturizer)
Technically, you can use Glycolic Acid daily; however, it's way too much for most people, and they end up with breakouts all over the face.
I have a very old review, which you can see right here (with pictures)
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution Review + Before and After:
th-cam.com/video/wj2auWEAWYw/w-d-xo.html
Over time I figured out that it was because of overusing the acids and not necessarily because of the combination I did back then. So make sure that you aren't overusing the products. :)
Melissa Van Dijk thank you so much ! ❤️
I’m going to watch this right now. Thank you again for all your videos !
You really have a video for all the combinations I look for! Amazing 😍 I have a lot of dark acne spots, I want to start using the alpha arbutin 2% + ha.. I was wondering if it can be used with glycolic acid :) thank you Melissa! ☺️
Hey! :)
Yes, they can be used in the same routine! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much! You don’t know how helpful you are truly !! I appreciate your help ❤️❤️❤️
Can I use the Niacinamide after the Glycolic 7% toning? I usually do Glycolic 7% toning then alpha arbutin then niacinamide and finish it off with Kiehls Midnight Blue Calming Cream.
Yes you can use them in the same routine :)
I have a question: i just bought 2 products from Drunk Elephant: ''B-Hydra'' and ''Marula'', and so i was wondering if after applying the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA at night i could then use these 2 products i just mentioned, or just the Marula. Im new on skin care so i really need advise.
You can use both after Alpha Arbutin or only the oil. See what works and feels the best on your skin😊
Hi Melissa, I bought Niacinamide, Alpha arbutin, azeliac acid and glycolic toner. Could u please help me for a routine. My main concern is post acne scars and hyperpigmentation. ☺️
Hello Sarah,
Here is an example routine:
AM:
Cleanser
Azelaic Acid Supsension
SPF
PM:
Glycolic Acid
Niacinamide
Alpha Arbutin
About 2-3 drops of each serum and one pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
You can also watch this video to know the "rules" for the order of application:
How to Create a Skincare Routine With The Ordinary Products - A Beginners Guide:
th-cam.com/video/png_aAg5B0A/w-d-xo.html
Can you use also the Niacinamide after the Alpha Arbutin? Can I use Rosehip Seed oil at the end after the Mosturizer?
Yes, that's fine! :) If you use a very light moisturiser (like a gel) you can use the oil afterwards, otherwise, if you use a cream moisturiser (thicker moisturiser), then use the oil before your moisturiser :)
Hi. Hope you are doing well.
I am new to ordinary products , so can i use
Glycolic acod toner
Azelic acis suspension 10 alpha arbutin 2
Sunscreen
In the morning?
(I read somewhere that cant use toner with so many thing)
I have uneven skin tone and freckles.
If you are new to the Ordinary products and/or skincare in general...I recommend not using Glycolic Acid and Azelaic Acid in the same routine because you don't know how your skin is going to react.
You can use Alpha Arbutin, Azelaic Acid and SPF daily in the AM. However, I recommend using Glycolic Acid 2-3 times per week in the evening for a while and see how your skin is going to respond to it before maybe using it more often to avoid skin irritation.
You can use it like this:
AM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Alpha Arbutin
- (Optional) Moisturizer
- Azelaic Acid
- SPF
PM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Glycolic Acid (2-3 times per week)
- Alpha Arbutin
- (Optional) Moisturizer
Advanced PM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Glycolic Acid (How often you use it depends on your skin)
- Alpha Arbutin
- (Optional) Moisturizer
- Azelaic Acid
Hope this helps :)
Can I use the Deep cleansing oil dhc on my face than wash it than put the peeling solution or niacinamide than moisturizer???cuz the deep oil cleaning dhc I think u only use it one time a week,do u know anything about it??
Sorry but this is very confusing and I can't quite follow your comments because you are always talking about different products...
What do you have at home?
If you have an oily skin type (like getting really oily) there is no need to use a moisturiser. I think that you would be better off just using Hyaluronic Acid as your moisturiser.
Hiii Melissa, I have a question! Could you please help?
My skin type : Normal to Oily.
I am very much concerned about the acnes and blemishes, the stubborn marks aren’t fading. Been using glycolic acid tonic from Pixie Glow 3nights a week for almost 2months, my blemishes are fading but it’s still is very visible.
Thinking to add these in my night skin routine, do you think it will help?
Night routine:
Neutrogena Micellar Water (Hyaluronic acid)
Pixie Glow Glycolic acid (3nights a week)
Alpha Arbutin from Ordinary
And finally layering with Cerave’s moisturising cream (3 ceramides).
And the nights I’ll not use Glycolic acid, do you think I should use alternative toner?
Will any of these products conflict with each other? And also I use Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer (SPF 50+) after using my Cerave moisturiser, is that okay?
Hey! :)
Yes, you can try the routine that you have mentioned above! You can use the Pixi Glycolic Acid Toner more often if your skin can tolerate it since you already use it for such a long time!
How often you can use your exfoliating acid/toner depends on your skin concerns and tolerance. Some can use it daily whereas others prefer to use it less often and that's fine! :)
Depending on your skin and what works and feels the best for you, you could also try a lighter moisturiser like a gel or lotion since you are not really struggling with dry skin! :) Otherwise, stick to the moisturiser that you have! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thankyou so much for helping!!! I’ll religiously follow your videos. ❤️
Hey Melissa I have a question. What do you think about this routine.
AM:
La Roche Posay Cleanser
Heritage Rose Water Toner
Alpha Arbutin
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
SPF
PM:
La Roche Posay Cleanser
The Ordinary Glyoic Acid Toner
Alpha Arbutin
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
or
The Ordinary Glyoic Acid Toner
Alpha Arbutin
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
Do you think this routine will help get rid of my hyperpigmentation on my face and neck?
Depending on the hyperpigmentation you have, it will get challenging to treat it with serums or creams. So if you have dark spots, it can help yes. Otherwise, I recommend visiting a dermatologist 🙂
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you for responding. But overall do you think this is a good skincare routine in general? Without hyperpigmentation or anything?
@@jordanwhitehead1251 Well, the setup is correct; it's really individual. If you like it go ahead and continue for a while and see if you are happy with the results :)
Hello im just wondering ive started growing my beard and im thinking that would these products effect my beard growth or mess my facial hair up?
Well from what I can tell it does not do much for hair growth since my husband is using them on his bald head and not much is growing 😉 So it does not affect it negatively or positively.
Hello thank you once again for your vídeos. I have a question. I use the Neutogena visibily clear spot proofing, this produtc helps to reduce and eliminate my acne but also leaves my skin super dry (I have oliy and dry combination skin). Can I use the neutrogena product and the glycolic acid together on the same routine or it's going to be too much for my skin?
I bought the ordinary produtcs and I'm thinking of using this routine:
1. Kiels cleaneser (to remove make up)
2. Neutrogena visibily clear
3. Alpha arbutin 2%
4. Niacinamide
5. plant derived squalane
Hey😊
How often do you use the Neutrogena Cleanser?
Once or twice per day? or only when needed?
Well, yes you can use the Glycolic Acid after that cleanser however, with any new products (also for the rest of your routine), gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
The steps of your routine are correct😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you girl. I use once a day at pm. I will do that thank you.
@@DinnyDC Do you have an AM routine as well?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes. apha arbutin 2%, niacinamide, azelaic acid and sun
protector.
Hey Melissa I have a question for you do you use any tretinoin at night time?because I do and I always get so confused on wish product I can use with that?I own all the ordinary skin care and I love them!
Since tretinoin is Vitamin A (Retinoid) - it only has conflicts with other retinoid products😊
Is it a cream or gel?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hey Melissa,the tretnoin that I use is a cream called (Refissa)
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Creams & suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
So it would be applied after the serums😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you very much Melissa this makes alots of sense I apreciate your help and good advice😘
Hi can I use these as my routine?
1. Glycolic toner
2. Alpha arbutin + HA
3. 0.2 retinol in squalane
4. Cetaphil cream
I'm currently using these now. Are these okay to mix?
Hey :)
For how long have you been using those products together in the same routine? How's your skin?
The order of application is correct, however, I recommend watching the videos below:

Hope this helps! :)
can i use my ascorbic acid from the ordinary within this routine as well? Also, is the glycolic toner only for PM use or am i able to use it in the AM as well?
What Vitamin C product do you have from The Ordinary?
Some people can use Glycolic Acid and Vitamin C in the same routine, however, for others this combination may be too strong and therefore prefer to keep them separate :)
You can use Alpha Arbutin and Vitamin C in the same routine :)
It is preferred to use Glycolic Acid in the PM since it can make your skin sensitive to the sun. Also, don't forget to use SPF :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial the vitamin C product i have from them is the ascorbic acid. yes! definitely cannot forget SPF😅 thanks so much for your help🥰.
And also right now I have 5 % glycolic toner, alpha arbutin 2% + liposomal vitamin C 5 % + hyaluronic acid 1% ( in one serum), niacinamide 10% + zinc PCA 1% (in one serum ). My face is combi-oily ( especially the nose, forehead, chin). Which routine should I follow? Thnaks beforehand!
Hey!
I recommend watching the video below:

This video should help you to understand the overall order of application😊 I'm happy to check your routine later on, but it is important that you know this as well for setting up a skincare routine.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank u so much!
HI! Question: Can i use Micellar water after the cleanser before applying the toner?
Hm... I would do it the other way around. Use your micellar water at first, and then your cleanser before applying the toner :)
Hi Melissa can I use this routine skincare like glycolic acid and alpha arbutin at AM?? Must put sunscreen at the last step of my skincare routine right? If there's any possible effects to my skin?
Yes, all correct. Still, from my experience, some sunscreens tend to sting when layered after your exfoliant, but I haven't figured out what is causing it 🤷🏼 So means that you can do it, but if it stings, don't use it in the morning or change your sunscreen 😉
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial aww thank youuu so much!! Sending love from Malaysia🥰
Another another quick question 😂 can i use glycolic acid toner everyday? 8 drops on the pad over face. Sorry for any inconvenience, im new to skincare
Maybe 8 drops are not enough if you use it on your cotton pad. (depending on the cotton pad you are using...) But generally, it depends on your skin and how often it needs to be exfoliated. 2-3 times a week is, in most cases, enough. I have a guide, and you can find it here:

th-cam.com/video/aTTM9xPwCjk/w-d-xo.html
Hey! I just discovered your channel, thank you a loot! I have some acne that is clear for now, but also redness due to acne on my cheeks that is here for a few months now. I have niacinamide + zinc, alpha arbutin, the peeling solution and salicylic acid + with AHA/PHA(from neutregena, anti-pimples) is my skincare enough or am I making too much?
I usually do :
AM: squalene cleanser from TO
Niacinamide 10%+zinc1%
Alpha arbutin from TO
Moisturizer +HA from TO
SPF
PM: squalene cleanser from TO
Niacinamide 10% +zinc1%
Alpha arbutin from TO
Salicylic acid +AHA/PHA
Moisturizer +HA from TO
And once a week I use the peeling solution,
Thank you for the video!❤❤
Hey! :)
For how long have you been doing this routine?
How's it going so far? :)
Thank you! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks for the fast answer!:) So I started the salicylic acid +AHA/PHA a little over a month ago and it cleared most of my acne, made my skin brighter and helped, a little, my red marks that I have since December due to stress and picking my skin. It gave me a few under the skin pimbles but since I started using the new products (a week ago) they're leaving very fast :)
The alpha-arbutin serum contains lactic acid so when used with the glycolic acid, is there a possibility of over-exfoliation? Deciem didn't disclose the percentage of the lactic acid on the formula...
Don't worry about it! :) This usually help to balance the pH of a product! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much 😊
Hey Melissa! I've a small doubt. I'm actually using glycolic acid CREAM 6w/w(for pigmentation) . So can I apply Alpha arbutin serum over the cream??
well, I used to say yes, but now there are some papers showing that Alpha Arbutin may be sensitive to the pH, so I would say no, it is not a good idea.

Thankyou
Another quick question , can i use rosehip oil instead of mpisturizer after alpha arbutin? Will it effect the effect of glycolic acid or alpq arbutin, or will it cancel a key chemical out ?
No, they do not have any conflicts. So you can use it.

Hi melissa nice to meet you #love from srilanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Hey! :) Nice to meet you too!💕
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial my name is milissa ur melissa I'm so happy about our name😍😍
Hi Melissa! Do you know if it's okay to use Ordinary -Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA in the morning and then at night use niacinamide ( Valjean) serum and Pixie glow tonic toner( the glow tonic has Glycolic Acid (5%) in it). Are these skincare ingredients okay to mix?
Yes, you can use Alpha Arbutin in the AM followed by SPF.
As for your PM routine, yes, you can use Pixi Glow Tonic toner and use Niacinamide after that. That's fine too! However, please do not use the Pixi Toner and The Ordinary Toning Solution in the same routine since both include a high % of Glycolic Acid :)
You can also use Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin in the same routine as well, AM and/or PM!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Cool! Thanks for you're help!❤
Is it normal for alpha arbutin to be sticky? It seems like no matter how little I use it's still stcky. Also how does these two products not cancel each other out?
Yes, it is sticky. But what else are you using before or after? You may apply too many products. ( Or too much product)
Because the products are properly formulated and they stay within the pH range.
Hey Melissa! Can 5% glycolic toner be used every night? Thanks in advance!
Hello, it depends on your overall skin tolerance ;)
Hello, I recently bought the bha peeling solution, the azelaic acid suspension, and the alpha arbutin from the ordinary. I have been struggling with dark spots after acne, so I was wondering if I chose the right products. Also, how would you recommend using these products?
Hey😊
May I ask, do you still have acne or do you only have those spots left? Also what is you skin type?
Also, what else do you use? Cleanser, moisturiser SPF?
From what you've mentioned, you've picked the right ones!
You can use them like this:
AM Routine (Daily):
- Cleanse
- Alpha Arbutin
- Azelaic Acid
- (Optional) Moisturiser
- SPF
PM Routine (1-2 per week):
- Cleanse
- Peeling Solution
- (Alpha Arbutin)
- Moisturiser
With those products, you have mainly a daily AM routine which is great and simple! And once or twice per week you also have a PM routine with the mask. I recommend using a moisturiser after the mask when using it for the first time to see how it goes and then later on (After 1-2 weeks) and you're skin likes the products and has adjusted to the products you can use Alpha Arbutin also after the peeling solution as well.
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Creams & suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
Also, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
With any new formulation, some sensitivity or initial redness can be normal. Initial redness upon application is not a cause for concern if it goes away after a few moments.
Also, have a look at this video:
th-cam.com/video/wSY0pYcy8KY/w-d-xo.html
Melissa Van Dijk currently, I don’t get big acne breakouts just the occasional pimple there and there, and I have oily skin. For the rest of my routine, I use the cerave foaming cleanser, cerave moisturizer, and the cerave mineral 30 spf. I had a a lot of acne breakouts 2 months ago, but I took care of it with a product a dermatologist gave me, but now all that’s left is a LOT of dark spots. Thank you so much for your response as well :).
@@reycito6384 If you have oily skin and you're still getting a few pimples here and there, have a look at a Salicylic Acid solution or exfoliator similar to the one from Paula's Choice the BHA exfoliator.
The rest of the products you've mentioned above are great for your skin concerns!
Also, have you already tried not using a moisturiser at all? Since most oily skin types do not necessarily need a moisturiser😊 only if you have some dryness going on or a drier skin type!
Melissa Van Dijk No, I have not tried that, and I thought everyone needed to use a moisturizer. But, thanks for informing me I’ll try it, and thank you so much for replying!
Melissa Van Dijk oh wait sorry, do you recommend any products for pm because you said I mainly had a am routine. Sorry I forgot to ask :/
Just1-3 drops?? While slapping on the palm It probably seeped into the hand before it tap on the face.
It has a high amount of active ingredients. And that's what they recommend. I mean, you can add 1-2 drops more if you like or if your hand soaks all up, just apply it immediately to your face :)
"Patch testing - We recommend avoiding unprotected solar exposure, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin. For more information on how to do a test patch, please visit our Patch Test Guide on The Ordinary website.
Order of Application - We suggest using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
Generally, we recommend applying water-based solutions first, followed by oil formulations, and finally cream/suspension formulas. If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Acne - Just as a note - none of our products can be considered medical treatments for acne, so we suggest consulting with your physician to see what may work best for your skin. :-)
Pregnancy - While each ingredient has been tested and is considered safe for topical application, DECIEM products have not been tested on pregnant or breastfeeding people. When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol."
Can that toning solution be used every day? Should it be used every day for better results?
You already watched the other video. And I also recommend watching the following video to get a better understanding of exfoliating the skin:

hi i am a beginner
but i have oily and acne prone skin with bad acne scarring and hyperpigmentation
can i use this routine?
for lightening underarms should i directly use the glycolic acid or mix it with a moisturizer
can i use these two at two different times?
Hey! :)
Do you have physical scars or 'just' hyperpigmentation?
If it's mainly hyperpigmentation, yes it may work.
or have a look at one of those routines:
The Ordinary Skincare Routine for Acne Scars: th-cam.com/video/FzxOvWhV9VA/w-d-xo.html
(Ignore the title) The Ordinary Skincare Routine For Over 40: th-cam.com/video/LH5wJFnVMZE/w-d-xo.html
I do not recommend using Glycolic Acid under the arms. However, others may do this...🤷🏻♀️
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial tysm!
i am on a budget actually
i cannot actually afford that many products😭
Ok, so alternate between Glycolic Acid and a Retinol in your evening routine.
which is more affective for hyper pigmentation around the mouth area? I would appreciate it so much if you could let me know.
I'm not too sure because I don't know what causes the darkness around the mouth (as I don't suffer from that condition). If it's hyperpigmentation, Alpha Arbutin may work. If it's due to a buildup of dead skin cells or dry skin, Glycolic Acid and/or keeping the area hydrated may work. However, if it's hormonal or another condition, it's best to see a dermatologist to determine the cause and the most appropriate treatment.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you! I did go to a dermatologist but what he recommended was way to expensive. So I thought I would find an alternative. I appreciate it!
@@marwazaheer6094 so what did he recommend? 🤔
pigmacare @@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Can I add niacinamide followed by hyaluronic acid in this routine?
yes, you can.
Please can I combine theses products from the ordinary
Peeling solution
Glycolic Acid toner and
Alpha Arburtine
No.
You can use the Peeling Solution an Alpha Arbutin in the same routine or Glycolic Acid and Alpha Arbutin.
Have a look at the video below:
Can I Use The Ordinary AHA30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution with Glycolic, Lactic or Salicylic Acid: th-cam.com/video/0Qj-2gZn9L4/w-d-xo.html
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Please can I combine theses too
Peeling Solution
Glycolic acid and Azelaic acid
Can you also incorporate in this routine Niacinamide?
Yes you can, you can apply it before or after Alpha Arbutin.
Here is some general information for you:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing."
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
Some products can have a foaming effect upon application depending on the other products you are using in your regimen. The foaming should not last longer than a few seconds and both should not remain sticky once absorbed into the skin. (Video: th-cam.com/video/r04W7rQV1R0/w-d-xo.html)
"Pilling" (snakeskin, shedding) can occur due to too much product. Your skin can only absorb a certain amount of product, and any excess will be left on top of the skin so that when the next product is being applied, it rubs off. (Video: th-cam.com/video/l_C7HtO826A/w-d-xo.html)
Hii Melissa i need some help with something
Hello, 🙂 I recommend starting with Niacinamide and see how this goes :) Just keep in mind that this is not a treatment for pimples or acne; however, it can help with blemishes. Otherwise, it would be best to buy a Benzoyl Peroxide spot treatment that the ordinary does not offer.(It helps you to get rid of the pimples very fast, it's not a cure but you can make them disappear in a few days) So you need to look for other brands. Where are you from 🤔?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial My objective is to get rid of my dark scars and hyperpigmentation, don’t really care about my pimples cause they will be gone, but my scars and pores are the problem, since i was a child i had a lot of dark spots on my face cause I always touched my pimples, and hyperpigmentation that’s what i'm focused on. Cause even if my skin looks good or if a have a good time with my skin the scars are always annoying me, and i’m from Spain
@@mame1014 What's your skin type? And do you have sensitive skin?
Otherwise, I recommend using an exfoliating acid + a Vitamin C product that contains Ascorbic Acid! Such as Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop. The Ordinary used to have the Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate cream, which was in my opinion the best Vitamin C product they had, however, it has been out of stock now for months and months...
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i had dry skin since last year it turns out to normal or mixed and that made my pores so bad
@@mame1014 Have a look at the Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% or Lactic Acid 5% and use it a long with Niacinamide and look for a Vitamin C serum to target your dark spots! :)
Can I do this routine every day, in the morning and night? Or what do you recommend?
Glycolic Acid should be used in the evening. So, it would be a great and simple evening routine😊
Yes, you can do this daily, however if you're new to acids, I recommend using it 2-3 times per week before moving on to a daily application😊
What are your skin concerns? And do you use anything else?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I have an uneven skin tone(some part of my face are darker than others) I have little dark spots around my face
Can I use Alpha Arbutin+ buffet copper1 +100% plans derived Squalane? And which one first to apply?
My skin type is dry skin
Yeah that's fine! You can use it in the oder you just mentioned!😊
Melissa Van Dijk ok thank you 😊
Instead of a moisturizer at then end , for night time, can I use Glycolic Acid, Alpha Arbutin and then the Niacinamide serum ?
Yeah, that's fine too! Using a moisturiser is not necessary 😊
For freckles Which percent is good of glycolic acid to rid out of it... ?
I have read some studies that very low % (1-2%) of Glycolic Acid are already effective, but I am not sure about that, sorry.
What is the time gap between the two serums?
You can apply them one after the other, but for peace of mind, I would give it a couple of minutes.
Can i use the glycolic acid with alpha arbutin and niacinamide?
Yes that's fine :)
How many times a week do you recommend for the gylcolic acid to be used?
It can be used on a daily base. Some people can exfoliate twice a day in the morning and evening. As a beginner, I recommend using the product 2-3 times a week in the beginning, then increase to 5-7 days when the skin is comfortable with the Glycolic Acid.
Melissa Van Dijk oh okay I’ll use it 3 times a week then because I use the aha peeling solution also but only twice a week
hey mellisa

Can i use cetaphil cleanser

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi good pm, may i ask if what products of the ordinary is the best for melasma for the beginners? And what routine is it?
@@nerjayapenafiel6687 Hey :)
Unfortunately, none of the Ordinary products can be considered medical treatments for melasma, you may wish to discuss suitable treatments for persistent signs of melasma with your physician or dermatologist.
PLS is the glycolic acid 7% a better replacement for the ordinary alpha arbutin 2% + ascorbic acid 8% ? or do you recommend I use both
They are very different. But for what purpose do you want to use them? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial for hyperpigmentation and a brighter skin
@@gmailaccount7148 Dark spots? 🤔
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial sigh yeah sure. I just need to know if it’s dangerous to use both of them. I have an uneven skin tone and also dark spots. So I’m not sure which I should buy to treat myself or if I can buy both. Pls I need your advice
@@gmailaccount7148 Well you can use both 🙂 But honestly, Alpha Arbutin is not the best and there are some concerns that popped up recently (th-cam.com/video/scFqJ_DBmu4/w-d-xo.html); I suggest using Glycolic Acid and following with Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% Solution and/or Niacinamide.
Clean face
use Glycolic Acid (start by using it 2-3 times per week, and gradually increase frequency to every other day or daily as needed and tolerated)
Ascorbyl Glucoside
Does it work on malasma. Thank you 😊
No, I recommend visiting a dermatologist because melasma is often caused by other factors, such as hormonal imbalances.
Can l use sunscreen after the moisturizer?
In the morning? Yes :)

Hii
I have normal skin and my routine is..
1. CeraVe foaming facial cleanser
2. Glycolic acid 7%
3. Alpha arbutin 2% HA
4. Simple replenishing rich moisturizer
I'm currently using this these now.. are these okay to mix??
I think the Simple replenishing rich moisturizer is too heavy. However, the rest looks good. If it feels uncomfortable, you might want to skip it or switch to a gel formulation. But if you feel good about it, just continue. :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialis this routine is good for skin brightening?
@@masoomalinajfi Well, it depends on what you understand by 'skin brightening'.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial if this routine is not good for skin brightening any suggestions for skin brightening for normal skin
@@masoomalinajfi Would you like to lighten your skin tone, achieve a brighter complexion, or address hyperpigmentation?
Hello, can I use this with ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate?
yes
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thanks.. Do I use ascorbyl before or after Arbutin?
@@kings07ification after :)
Hello! I use the ordinary glycolic acid at night. I have oily / acne prone skin. My main concern right now is fading hyperpigmentation left by my acne, so will the alpha arbutin help my skin type?
Hello 😀 Yes, I also recommend using Azelaic Acid.
For example, like this:
AM:
Cleanser
Alpha Arbutin
Azelaic Acid
SPF
PM:
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid 7%
Alpha Arbutin 2%
(Optional Rosehip Seed oil or/and Moisturizer)
It may be too much using Glycolic Acid 7% daily. But In case you have no issues, you can do it. However, I recommend observing your skin and adjust it based on its needs. Test to see what works best for your skin.
Hey i get pimples on my chin and forehead before my period. Can u suggest me a regimen. 😭 Please and thank youuu 😭❤️❤️
Just use a low strength Benzoyl Peroxide and spot treat it there is no need for anything else.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much! ❤️
can i use it for bacne scars?
Yes, that's fine :)
If I want to use vitamin c, how do I add that in? After or before the arbutin?
It depends on if it's a water-based serum. In case it's a cream, it goes on after. In case it's an anhydrous solution/oil, it also goes on after. But if you have a water-based serum, it does not matter 😉
Melissa Van Dijk I just ordered the skin deva vit c. It comes in today. It’s considered water based right? Sorry so new to skin care
It looks like yes :)
Melissa Van Dijk ok so I plan to use these three products together. Should I only use at night time?
@@Hawaiianorchid You can use them together at night time (use them only once per day). However, sometimes using Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin together can cause an irritation, it doesn't always happen - I guess it's about how much luck you have😅
Do a patch-test where you use both and see if anything happens before applying it to your face!
Can u use glycolic then alpha arbutin then niacinamide together?
Hey :)
Yes, that's fine! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you ❤️❤️
Please reply. Can i use the alpha arbutin everyday 2x a day? Or only 2x a week?
yes, you can use it daily. Technically once or twice per day. But it depends on how well you tolerate it.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thankyou so much. I was so afraid to use it everyday. Im glad i found your video on google. And thankyou that you replied to me so fast
Happy to help 🙂
Does it works on freckles???
Yes, since it is an exfoliate it will reduce it.
Hi,
Can we use an Alpha Aburtin Serum and then apply a night gel having glycolic acid?
Yes, they can be used together.
I hope she has. A give away I can’t afford these products 😭
Sadly I don't😅
You don't have to buy all those products! I'm just demonstrating different routines/combinations for different concerns🥰
Melissa Van Dijk thanks 🤗
