- In this video, I will show you how to apply The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.
Use 2-3 drops of each product.
Apply them using a 'patting' method, rather than 'rubbing'.

@@Genesis-ky8zd What Vitamin C do you use?
love how you get straight to the point in the video .. you aren’t talking extra just to hear yourself
Thank you!😊😅
Yes! I went through 3 videos of women just babbling on and on. Finally found one good info!
Thank you
I love that you always straightforward with your videos! ♥️♥️
Thank you you been the only person that has helped me with skin care because it’s so confusing and you always break it down
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback🥰
The Internet likes to make it seem so complicated when in fact, it isn't😅
Totally agree, that’s why I quickly subscribed to your channel.😍
Thanks a lot.
I love her and Hyram.. These two are just AMAZING!!
Yes true, ive been watching vlogs for skincare and make sure to leave some comment on it but she's the only one to send back a reply. That's why i also chose to stick watching to only her videos.
You don’t understand How happy I am that you mentioned to NOT wash the product. I’ve always been confused if I’m supposed to wash or keep the products on my face. Thank-you for being straight forward :))
Glad that I could help🥰
if you need to wash, the product says on its packaging that you need to wash/rinse off
I just bought my ordinary products and your videos really helped me on how i will properly use them. Thank you!
Your reviews have honestly changed my skin a lot (for the better!) I was seriously close to using a famous hippy castile soap ON MY FACE but was like "I wonder about Vanicream" and found your review on that and here I am a couple months later lol. Hope you get a billion subscribers one day. Danke (:

Thank you for this! You’ve helped my skin improve so much x
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this! I’m new to using serums but you made the process so easy and simple!
thank you so much for all this!!! i was struggling to figure out how to layer all this so thank you for taking the time to do all this!!!
Glad I could help!😊
Thank you so much Melissa, it was so confusing for me to figure out how to use these products, you have been the only person that has helped me with skin care and you always break it down on how to use it and what else can be layered on it
thank you
much love :)
Glad it was helpful! I really appreciate your feedback - that's the purpose of my videos!❤️
Such a great, simple, straightforward video 😍
Thank you for making this video! I just ordered the niacinamide serum after searching for weeks and this video is so useful :)💕💓
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Since watching your videos I relaized that I always used waaaay too much! Thank you :)
I think beauty gurus use the dropper all over their face and that's why we think we can use way too much!
Thankyou for explaining is so easily. Your voice is so beautiful ❤️
My pleasure 😊
Thank you so much for being so informative and getting straight to the point 😊
Exactly what I was looking for :) Both products together :)
Did not skip any ads because I'm reading the comments and I am already impressed with his video and it hasn't even started 😊 because I've been wanting to know if I can mix the two together and ig you can 🙌🏾 thank you!
Also curious if I can I apply it after using a toner?
Hey thank you very much ❤️ Yes, you can apply it after a toner.
Also you have to water based serums.
Hyaluronic Acid = Water-Based Serum
Niacinamide = Water- Based Serum
Your routine would look like this:
AM
1.Clean your face with your favourite cleanser
2. Hyaluronic Acid
3. Niacinamide
4. SPF
PM:
1.Clean your face with your favourite cleanser
2. Toner
3. Hyaluronic Acid
4. Niacinamide
Here is some additional information:
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). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
And a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!

Hello Melissa!! Your video was very helpful to me! I used these two products and my skin is clearing up within the two weeks of using it!
My mom just picked it up The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and the ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution! She also uses the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide and we like to know which order to use them!
Thank you so much, sending love!!!💕💕💕
Hey😊
Thank you - I'm happy that you can see already great improvements! 🥰
Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin are all three water-based serums which means that you can apply them as you like, there is no right and wrong to which one comes first. However, I do recommend starting with Hyaluronic Acid as it can help other products to penetrate better into the skin😊
Also, when using Glycolic Acid as it can be quite strong for some people (including me haha😂) use it every other day before using it more often so that you can see how your skin will responds to it.
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Lotions & Creams & suspensions
Important:
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!!
Hope, this helps!🥰
Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I am starting these three ordinary products from today
Have fun! :)
Thanks a lot you are really helping me a lot on how to go through the use of ordinary products, I really appreciate 🙏🏼
Glad that I could help😊
You get to the point! My first time using HA I used like 5 drops rubbing all over my face. I then immediately applied moisturiser. It just felt so sticky so thanks for clarifying that!
Happy to help 😃
Thank you for this Information. Currently, my skin routine is
-cleanse
- Marine Hyaluronics
- niacinamide
- thick cream of .01% retinol (PM)
- SPF
I hope this will help me resolve my acne and acne scarring 😊
Thank you so much! This was so helpful and calmed me about using the products
Glad it was helpful!
Feel so much more into skin care and how to use everything correctly! Video was really informative! Love your vibe☘☘
I use these two in conjunction nightly in my routine! 😆
I guess I applied too much because it felt drying so this video really helped! Thank you !!
Thank you for the short videos. They really help me!. 🙂
My first time using the ordinary and im so glad for your explanations.. thank you so much
😃
I recommend watching the following video:
The Ordinary Layering:
th-cam.com/video/gMrV5WD8KkA/w-d-xo.html
my routine is
• 2 cleansers from cera ve (foaming facial cleanser and SA cleanser)
• hyaluronic acid
• niacinamide
• cerave lotion
• comfy water sunblock
and i use the ordinary peeling solution once a week since it can be too strong sometimes.
and i only use one cleanser for each routine
Your routine looks great!
Yes, you can use the peeling solution 1-2 times per week in the evening.
PM Routine (1-2 times per week):
- Cleanse
- Peeling Solution
- Hyaluronic Acid
- (Optional) Niacinamide
- Moisturiser
Have a look at those videos:

What Order to Put The Ordinary Products On - Very Simple Guide with Demonstration!:
th-cam.com/video/pA54bdXBBIo/w-d-xo.html
because of you, i had started TO Hyaluronic Asic, Niacinamide, Buffet, Vit C 30%. and just ordered Corsx BHA toner... so far, love the effects of all the TO products you recommend. i might explore more on the type of Vit C serum that suitable for my oil/combunation skin. Thanks Melissa
Hey again! :)
How's your experience so far with The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hmmm... I actually feel tingling but i like the glow on my face after application... Plan to get ascorbic 8%...
@@sashavsbellalv590 Yeah, this is because it includes a high % of Vitamin C. When using TO Ascorbic Acid + Alpha Arbutin, stop using the Vitamin C Suspension.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial alright, that's is what i thought too. Thanks fkr confirming.. Always love your video
I washed my face with a foaming cleanser and an oil cleanser, because I had some sunscreen on. Then I applied niancinamide, let it rest for 2 minutes, then hyaluronic acid, then a Q10 serum and cerave. My skin is glowing and it feels so bouncy. After everything is absorbed, I go in, before bed, with Lipikar Ap+M from Vichy, which is very thick and incredibly hydrating. My skin looks almost poreless.
why do u do the niancinamide first? just wondering bc she said it’s better to do thalidomide
hyaluronic*
thank you so much i needed this since i just bought HA and niacinamide and i couldnt find any other video that would inform me if i could mix them, thanks! ♡
Glad it was helpful!
Straight to the point. Thanks!!
I absolutely love ur accent it’s really relaxing me, what’s ur nationality? I’d love this in asmr lol
Well, I did some ASMR a while ago but only funny versions ;) I am Luxembourgian. 😀
Hey!!
Is it ok to put the Glycolic acid 7% toner before i use the Hyaluronic + Nicacinamide?
And if so do i need to wash my face after the toner or can i apply on it?
I want to do this combination in the night and in the morning only use the toner
Is it okay or too much?
BTW i LOVE your videos!!!!
Your voice is so calm and you are so helpful!!
Yes, you can use Glycolic Acid before applying Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.
However, if you are new to Glycolic Acid. I recommend using it 1-3 times per week in the evening and see how your skin will respond before using it more often.
i love your videos! you are always so sweet and get straight to the point
❤️
My first recommendation from your channel as a subscriber! Your Niacinamide and The Ordinary vs Sukin videos brought me here (I'm Australian and used Sukin in the past), I absolutely love your stuff it's so helpful 😍
Welcome. 🙂 Have you tried the ordinary? And what was your experience with the sukin products, and which one did you use? I hope that I can come back to Australia soon. 😀
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial sukin was pleasant and didn't harm my skin when I used it as a teenager but I knew there were better brands for the same price. I mostly used their positively reviewed products from the sensitive/normal/green ranges like the hydrating mist toner, sensitive night cream and greens clay mask. Then I decided to try out other skincare like the ordinary but I had no clue about picking the right things back then so buffet, caffeine etc. didn't do much for me of course 😂 I recently purchased the niacinamide plus marine hyaluronics and in the process of waiting for my delivery, was lucky enough to stumble upon your instructional videos 😊 so far so good!
Okay, yes, some of their products are great. I also loved the night cream a lot. I haven’t tried the mist and clay mask!
The Buffet serum didn’t work for me; it made me breakout horrible. But maybe I am too young! Because for my husband it works fine!
I think it’s best to use a regimen! I never really tried the products on their own! I am pretty sure that they will work for you as well. You just have to be consistent.
Of course, every skin is different. But for my husband and me, they work.
I have T-zone combination skin, and he has oily skin. He uses the Hyaluronic Acid and the Niacinamide and sometimes the Marine Hyaluronics, and that’s it. His oily skin has improved so much!
I am testing lots of products, so my skin looks different all the time. But I want to do videos about it and figure out what’s working and what isn’t. 😀
What skin type do you have?
@Melissa Van Dijk Yes! I have a regimen going with a mix of the Ordinary and Korean/Japanese skincare which is working well for me. I've always cleansed, toned and moisturised but the regimen has improved a lot over the years.
I am actually not 100% sure what my skin type is though I'm guessing it is combination? It starts out dry and ends up oily (the rest of my body is on the dry and itchy side). Your husband is so lucky to only need that much product!
Funnily enough, Buffet also made my sister and I breakout so perhaps it really isn't suited to young skin, oops
It's good to have a stable skincare routine that works specifically for you and your skin concerns. I believe that ones you find the right products it can help to improve your skin so much and give you amazing results! I'm glad that you found the products that work for you😊
The best way to find out about your skin type is by not applying any skincare or makeup products for an entire day and only wash your face with water AM & Pm. During the day you can analyse your skin and see how it's performing over the day. Also, have a closer look at your pores, do you have small or large pores on certain areas?😊
Love your videos! I have the niacinamide and the amino acids + B5 from the ordinary, which one should i be putting on first?
Thank you😊
Well, Niacinamide and the Amino Acid serum from the Ordinary are both water-based serums.
If you have more than one water-based serum (Niacinamide and the Amino Acid ), you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).
Hope this helps😊
Hey Melissa! I have used the ordinary niacinamide before, without any big problems. It didn't reduce oil production though. I'm currently using epiduo, and I struggle with tolerating it every day. I get very irritated and red to the point that my moisturizer (CeraVe) burns. I have oily, acne prone skin with hyperpigmentation. Which serum should I use to tolerate the epiduo? Is niacinamide good for irritated skin?
Hey again! :)
Are you currently just using your Epiduo? - It contains Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide, right?
What else do you currently use? Because a few months ago, you were talking about a Salicylic Acid Cleanser and Azelaic Acid, do you still use such products?
If you can not tolerate it daily, that's fine. Reduce the frequency, or you may want to leave it on the skin for one hour (or so) and then wash it off.
This is the video i was looking for...thanks a lot!
Welcome 😊
Thank you this helped so much! Subscribed ☺️
Great 😀 Thanks for subbing! ❤️
You're amazing tysm dear you saved my night hahaha
I'm gonna start using their products today! since I just got them lol
I have Sensitive-Dry to very dry skin (
I got Niacinamide + Zinc , Hyaluronic Acid + B5 , Amino acids + B5 and rosehip seed oil
Do you have any advice to me regarding using these on daily basis?
I decided to use Hyaluronic Acid + b5 and Niacinamide today as a first-timer hopefully I made the right call hehe
Hey, well, you got great products. However, it may be a bit heavy when using the rosehip seed oil in the morning. And since you have dry skin, it may be best to ass a moisturizer in the morning as the last step.
AM:
Cleanser
Hyaluronic Acid
Amino Acids + B5
Niacinamide
Moisturizer (Maybe The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors)
SPF
PM:
Cleanser
Hyaluronic Acid
Niacinamide
Rosehip Seed Oil
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!!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial omg.. idk how to thank u really! I'm gonna follow these steps then! tysm you saved my skin. I wish u all the best
N.B: I'm gonna watch all Ads while watching your vids I guess that's the only way I can support you with
@@Khalid_Alharthi39 One more thing that I would like to add is that some people struggle with Niacinamide's application. It may be too much when using it in the morning and evening. So it may be best to start using it once a day, and if no irritation or dryness occurs, increase the frequency. Personally, I haven't had any issues, but based on my comments, a lot of people seem to have.
Yes, I only have ads before and after my videos; I do not do any affiliate links since I want to stay independent. The most helpful is sharing my videos so that more people will see it 😀 Thank you.
Hey can I use Cerave foaming cleanser then niacinamide then hyaluronic acid then the natural moisturizing factors. This is for am btw and then for the pm can i use the same steps except for the last step i use the 100% plant derived squalene
Hey :)
Yes, that sounds great! :)
hi i got some products and I don't know how to put it into a routine. I got the Glycolic acid toner, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. My regular cleanser is the Cetaphil cleanser. Thanks for the informative videos, much love!
Hello 😀 Can you have a look at this video first 🤔
How to Create a Skincare Routine With The Ordinary Products - A Beginners Guide:
th-cam.com/video/png_aAg5B0A/w-d-xo.html
If you still have any questions left I am happy to help 😀
Thank you for this video! It's my first time using both
Glad it was helpful!🥰
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Also, can I apply hyaluronic acid under the eyes? Or what eye cream would you recommend for sensitive skin and someone turning 30? And should I apply it after serums? Thank you 🙏
Yes, you can apply Hyaluronic Acid under the eyes. However, it may be beneficial to use a retinol eye cream to apply 2-3 times a week. Or generally speaking, retinol would be the best option. For example, Paula's Choice Clinical 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment or La Roche Posay Redermic Retinol Cream.
Hi! : ) So I recently purchased some new products from The Ordinary and Cerave. I watched so many of your videos but want to check and see if I am taking the right steps. My AM & PM routines are almost identical -- is that okay? Also, should I consider just using a SPF moisturizer instead of a moisturizer and sunscreen?
AM
1. Cleanser
2. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
3. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
4. Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
5. SPF
PM
1. Cleanser
2. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
3. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
4. Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
PM2 (2-3 Days per week)
1. Cleanser
2. Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
3. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
4. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
5. Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Thanks! I love your videos and have learned SO much from you :)
Hello 😀 Well, this is perfect. If you have oily skin, you may not need the moisturizer. See what works best for you.
On my skin, a moisturizer + SPF works better than a moisturizer with SPF. But again, you have to see what works best for your skin. The order is correct, and there is no right and wrong. You have to experiment and see how it goes. 😀
BEST explanation ever!
Thank you :)
Protect Melissa at all costs!
🥰💕
My routine:
Oil-based cleanser
Hyaluronic acid
Niacinamide
Cerave moisturizer
and now I bought Glycolic Acid 7% toning solution so if I put that on at night after will that be fine or too much for my skin?
Is this your AM and PM routine?
- Cleanse
- Glycolic Acid (in your PM routine)
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
- Moisturiser
- SPF (AM)
If you've never used Acids like this before, I recommend using it 2-3 times per day for a week or so and then try it more often during the week until your skin has developed the skin tolerance to use it daily😊
Make sure you’re also using a water based cleanser after your oil based cleanser! Or only use a water based one
hi, I want to start a new skincare routine and I really need your help in the products I should be using and the steps I should take. so far I have bought the cerave foaming facial cleanser, the ordinary hyaluronic acid, the niacinamide 10%, and the aha 30% peeling solution. what products should I buy and what are the steps I should use them in. It would be greatly appreciated if you could respond with what products I should use to start my new skincare.
thank you for your time and I hope you have an fantastic day ♥️
Hey😊 welcome to the skincare world haha, we all have so much more to learn!🥰
Well, I would need to know your skin concerns before I can suggest you any products😅
Have you already been using the products that you've mentioned above?
For you too!
Melissa Van Dijk well i struggle with acne and acne scars and dark spots and i also have combination skin
Well, it’s not so much about the skin type. As long as you do not have very sensitive skin, most products will work!
A regimen could look something like this:
AM1:
Cleanser
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
(optional 100% Plant-Derived Squalane)
SPF
PM1(rest of the week):
Cleanser
Salicylic Acid 2% Solution (if not available lactic acid 5%, but as soon as possible, move back to the salicylic acid solution!)
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
(optional 100% Plant-Derived Squalane)
PM2: (3 times a week):
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid 7%
Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2%
(optional) Borage Seed Oil
Pm 3: (once a week)
Cleanser
Dry skin!
AHA + BHA (rinse off after 10minutes!)
Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2%
(optional) Borage Seed Oil
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
It's recommended 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.
If you have bad acne I would recommend getting some acne medication(Benzoyl Peroxide) at first and ask a dermatologist on how you can proceed. If you have light to moderate acne the regimen above can help you.
I hope this helps.
Very helpful. Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Love your videos!
Hello Melissa,
Just want to say thank u so much for all your guidance. I am learning skincare from your videos and it's really helping me.currently my skincare routine is :
Am
Benzol peroxide wash
Hylronic acid
Nicenamide 10%
Cetaphil moisturizer
La Roche sunscreen
Pm -
Cerave facial cleanser
Paula's choice / Cerave resurfacing retinol serum ( alternate)
Hylronic acid
My skin is combination type but mostly it's dry now because of winter as I am residing in Germany. I have some acne and acne marks (only on chin and upper lip Area) not all over. Also having open pores.Please suggest on above skincare routine. Also can u suggest anything is needed for acne marks. It would be really helpful ☺️
Thank u
Hello Swati,
It seems like you are already using products that should help you. However, there are some adjustments you can make to the order of application to maximize their effectiveness:
AM Routine:
Benzoyl peroxide wash
Hyaluronic acid
Niacinamide 10%
Cetaphil moisturizer (you may consider changing it to a light gel or skipping it altogether, as it may be too rich for your concerns)
La Roche sunscreen
PM Routine:
CeraVe facial cleanser
Hyaluronic acid (this should come first as it is water-based)
Wait 1-2 minutes before applying Paula's Choice or CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum (alternate between the two).
I hope these suggestions help.
Ohh thank you so much Melissa, Your suggestions are really awesome.. Love you from bottom of my heart ❤️
@@swatiwagh9676
Actually, if you use it on dump skin it boost the affectiveness of the product especially the hyaluronic acid as the hyaluronic acid draws hydration from the environment, your skin, and water so there’s that boost of hydration. And also applying your products on dump skin can make them absorb better !

Hanks for sharing this wonderful video. It was really helpful. A new fan/subscriber from Pakistan 😊
You're welcome, and I'm happy to help! 🥰
Omg thank you so much this help me so much 💓
You're so welcome!
My Hylaronic Acid just spils / runs out of the Dropper.
It wont stay inside of the dropper, i do not apply any force.
It is also building some strings with the bottle.
The product is kind of „strechy“.
Is that normal?
My Niacinamide is completly fine.
Both are original Products, i purchased them directly from the Ordinary.
Would be kind of you could answer my questions.
Hello, yes this can happen :) That's the texture of the product. It may vary a little from batch to batch :) Since they are updating the formulations very often.
Someone tell me if this is too much
CeraVe cleanser
(occasionally) Glycolic acid toner
Hyaluronic acid
Niacinamide
Caffeine serum for under eyes
Is that a good skincare routine and if so is that the best order they should be used in?
Hey😊
What are your skin concerns?
- Cleanse
- Glycolic Acid (only PM)
- Caffeine Solution
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
- (Optional) Moisturiser
You’re amazing 🎉
You go to the point!!
Thank you!🥰
Thank you so much for this!!!!!
Is it normal for the hyaluronic acid to slightly foam up when rubbing it with the hands?
Yes, it does it a bit. If you want to reduce it, use less products like 1-3 drops and pat it into the skin instead of rubbing.
Hi Melissa. Thanks a lot for your video. Really helpful. I’ve been trying the ordinary products and bought the following without even having any idea which ones can go together and which should be applied first.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Vitamin C suspension + HA spheres
L-ascorbic acid powder
Caffeine solution 5% + EGCG
Lactic acid 10%
Caffeine solution 5%
Matrixyl 10% + HA
My main concern are the fine lines on my face and light pigmentations from previous acne. I also have some dark under eyes.
It’s all too science for me and really don’t have much clue. Hope you can help. Thanks a lot!
It is not that difficult, and The Ordinary has all the information you need on their website. I have a video which is guiding you through the process, which you can find right here:
The Ordinary For Beginners:

If you need more help, please let me know.
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much Mellisa 😊
😊
Do I need to wait 30 minutes after apply TO niacinamide before apply moisturizer?
No, apply Hyaluronic Acid and/or Niacinamide after each other and let it soak into the skin and then move on to your moisturizer😊
So I can use for example morrocan oil from The ordinary after this, and than Cera ve moisturizer? :) Thanks
Yes, exactly 😀
You are best!🥰
Is’t it not other way round like: moisturiser and then oil?? I mean HA+niacinamide+cerave& moroccon oil??
@@tupil27 you apply the oil first and then seal it in with the moisturiser.
Thank you for making this video!!!
No problem 😊
Helpful thank you ❤
Hii! Thank you for this video! I've decided to incorporate the Hyaluronic Acid one into my skin care routine. I don't use many products but:
- Cerave SA cleanser
- Cerave SA moisturizer
- The Ordinary Niacinamide (the one in the video)
- The Ordinary Peeling Solution AHA 30% + BHA 2% (once a week)
And I've just bought the Hyaluronic Acid from The Ordinary.
I've been using these products for months and I don't get as much acne anymore, it's pretty rare. But when I do, sometimes it leaves red scars behind (even without picking at it). I've had some acne scars for months and they've gotten a bit lighter but it's a very very veeery slow process and I wish they'd just go away. Should I wait to see if it gets better with the new product? Or do you have any better product suggestions? Thank you in advance!
I have the same issues, and what helps me the most is Vitamin C and/or Retinol.
So my advice would be to use Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% or retinol (for example, Paula's Choice 0,3% and 2% Bakuchiol).
Or just wait a bit longer until they are gone ;) So that you do not need to buy additional products, because they will fade on their own, it just takes a bit longer.
Hi Melissa, I put 2 drops of niacinamide and 2 of HA in my hand, rub together and put on my face. Am I doing wrong?
You can do, but it's recommended to layer them. This means that you should apply them one after another so that the skin has time to absorb it. I am not sure if it will make a difference in the long run. 🤷🏼♀️
So Glad I came across your videos on the ordinary products! It’s so helpful! ☺️ I have sensitive combi skin with oily t zone & I just ordered the niacinamide serum to try! I’m just wondering does it work with la roche posay toner & moisturiser.... I’m afraid I’ll get breakouts & erythema when I use this two brands together :/
Thank you🥰
Did you get the la roche posay water or the zinc "toner"?
You would use it like this:
- Cleanse
- Toner
- Niacinamide
- Moisturiser
- (AM) SPF
I use the la roche posay products (cleanser, the zinc "toner" or a moisturiser from them) with the Ordinary products and I haven't had any issues😊
thsnks so much.csn both products be used every day and in the morning and evening
Yes :)
Hey I had a question I bought some products from the ordinary and I’m really overwhelmed and I don’t know how to build a routine for them in the morning and in the evening
So I bought:
- the ordinary squalane cleanser
- niacinamide 10% and zinc 1%
-hyaluronic Acid 2% b5
- the ordinary moisturizing factors
-30% bha 2%Peeling Solution
- glycolic acid 7%
-caffeine solution 5%
- and a face SPF
Thank youuuu for your videos they are very helpful
Hey 😀
AM:
1. The ordinary squalane cleanser
2. Caffeine solution 5%
3. Hyaluronic Acid 2% b5
4. Niacinamide 10% and zinc 1%
5. SPF
PM:
1. The ordinary squalane cleanser
2. Glycolic acid 7%
3. Hyaluronic Acid 2% b5
4. Niacinamide 10% and zinc 1%
PM2: (once a week)
1. AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
2. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
3. Niacinamide ( But based on my experience I would recommend applying the Natural moisturizing factors)
Also, I wouldn’t use the toner daily that’s pretty strong. Maybe your skin can tolerate it but I had serious issues using it daily. I would apply it once or twice a week.
Melissa Van Dijk omg thank you so so so much you’re literally the most helpful person on TH-cam
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Melissa Van Dijk also do you Know when I could use the lactic acid ? I have a lot of blackheads and large pores that’s my main problem
The Lactic Acid should be applied in you PM routine but you can't use it with other strong acids, so you can only use this one when you're not using the Glycolic toner or AHA + BHA peeling solution 😊
The Lactic Acid is a water-based serum which can be diluted with other treatments (for example hyaluronic acid) to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance.
Your PM Routine could look like this:
1. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
2. Lactic Acid
3. Hyaluronic Acid 2% b5
4. Niacinamide 10% and zinc 1%
Hope this helps🥰
Hey! My skin is usually dry but at times it can also get a bit oily, specially on the t-zone, which causes a few pimples around that area. I'm thinking about buying a few products from the ordinary to use them like this: AM - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, 100% Plant-Derived Squalane and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA; PM - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, 100% Plant-Derived Squalane and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. Do you think this is a good routine?
Yeah, that sounds like a great routine! However, I do recommend not using the oil + moisturiser (maybe only one of them or none) in your t-zone since it is already a bit oilier. So, you can use the oil+moisturiser on the areas you're dry😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much!! I found this video and your tips on the comments section so helpful!!!
This was sooo helpful thankyouuuuu 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Hello! Tnx for sharing this video ❤
Hello! Can you help me on how to apply these serums?
•niacinamide 10 + zinc
• hyaluronic acid
• lactic acid 10%
• NMF
Hey😊
AM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Niacinamide
- NMF
- SPF
PM Routine:
- Cleanse
- Lactic Acid (1-3 times per week in the beginning)
- Hyaluronic Acid
- NMF
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Lotions & 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.
Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing."
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
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. ❤
Niacinamide can be used in conjunction with retinoids sunscreens, hydroxy acids, and other ingredients without concern for cross-reactivity.
Please note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. Gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
How often you should exfoliate depends on your skin type and skin concerns. Some people do well exfoliating with AHA or BHA twice a day, whereas others find that once a day or every other day is a perfect balance. Test to see what works best for your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. It is not be confused with other acids like salicylic or glycolic acids, which exfoliate away dead skin cells.
Hope this helps😊
NMF is the “natural moisturizing factors + HA” right?😅 sorry I’m so new to this!
@@jasminemarquez8574 Sorry yes, it's "Beauty Community Slang" 😉
@@jasminemarquez8574 YES , YOURE RIGHT :)
Hi, I have buffet from ordinary. where do i insert that on this routine?
When I applied the niacinemide my face started to burn a little bit is that normal? :(
What else do you use? And where does it burn? All over the face or just on certain areas?
Don't use/mix them on together. Use for example niacinemide on for example your T-zone while Hyolaronic Acid on your cheeks and forehead.
You are savior trust me
Thank you 😊
🥰
I appreciate your hard work. God please you always 🌷
Thank you!😍
What is the point of applying 2-3drops to you hands and then just pat , i feel like all the product is wasted in between you hands .just apply one drop directly on your face and then press it gently
You are right
Niacinamide was one of the most effective investment that I have done for my skin and I'm really excited to try HA but I do have some concerns. As you might know that some people say HA works only if you live in a humid climate so I'm living in Germany and the weather is mostly dry. Do you have any ideas about this? 😅
Hallo Asena, yes, I do have. This is true to some extend. However, the Ordinary(and most other companies nowadays) use an ingredient called Sodium Hyaluronate, a derivative of Hyaluronic Acid.
I am not a chemist or a doctor, but I have read many articles about this, and I think it isn't obvious.
I have a little video about this which you can find right here:

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial You're such a sweetheart. Thank you for your respond.

i have oily/acne prone skin with frequent breakouts and quite a few acne scars btw
also, i was thinking of switching to the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser but idk if i should🥺
Your routine(s) look great!🥰
Have you already use the products like this, or have you just ordered them, and that's the routine?😊
Also, if you have oily skin, it is not necessary to use a moisturizer (you may just want to use one if you experience some dryness) otherwise, you can skip it!
Also, depending on for how long you have been using this routine and the retinoid, you could also use the retinoid after the peeling solution!
If you like Cetaphil, I recommend getting the Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing bar! - I love that one a lot! - which btw, foams too!
Melissa Van Dijk Omg thank you so much! this is the first routine ive ever created!! ive been using it for 3 weeks so far and im just seeing if i should change or tweak anything

@Sad Lonley Potato '.* Thanks for your comment. Do you want to know if the routine is good? If so, I need to know your skin concerns. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell you ;)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Acne, wide pores, and hyperpigmentation
I have combo skin.
Thank you :)
Since when are you using this routine? Have you seen any changes/improvements? Also, does your skin like the Cerave products?
For hyper-pigmentation, I also recommend having a look at the Ordinary Alpha Arbutin.
Also, do you only have acne like active acne or do you have acne marks and/or scars as well?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Im checking in to see if my routine is good for my skin concerns before I take action ^-^
So for now it is yet to be determined if this will help with my skin.
My acne has faded a lot because of daily washing and overal taking basic care of my skin, only a little remain. But, due to my harsh face treatment in the past I have hyperpigmentation and a little scars. ^-^
Thank you~♡
@@sadlonleypotato.4877 Well, maybe Cerave will work for you! I haven't had much luck since my skin reacted to most of the Cerave products. Still, it may work for you as you have different skin concerns as I have.
I recommend getting Alpha Arbutin for hyper-pigmentation.
And for your acne marks and scars, have a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/geF4SbZYuCw/w-d-xo.html
thank you so much for this
No problem 😊
Hi Melissa! I have combination skin. My routine is
1. Spot controlling cleanser from neutrogena
2. Niacinamide + zinc from ordinary
3. Ginzing oil free energy-boosting gel moisturizer from origins
And I feel my skin a little bit dry. I am wondering if Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 will help me or do I have to use another serum?
Thank you so much.
Hey😊
Yeah, you can add Hyaluronic Acid to your routine or Pycnogenol which is a great antioxidant and adds great hydration to the skin as well😊
I really love your video💗❤️🙂
thanks ❤️
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thanks for this video! Anyway on 3.23: i thought we should always have to put moisturizer on top to protect the serum?
Hello :) No, moisturizer is only needed for dry skin. Or, in case you meant Hyaluronic Acid, this one includes Sodium Hyaluronate (it's kind of a derivative), which has a low molecular weight and does not suck out moisture from the skin! ;) SO, therefore, you do not need a moisturizer. Almost all Hyaluronic Acid serums nowadays have this, so, therefore, it's not needed.
Melissa, when using Hyaluronic Acid, you MUST ALWAYS use a cream after (day or night) to seal moisture in, otherwise it can make your skin DRYER (ok, maybe in way moister climates won´t be too much, but heating in houses and offices DRY the soul out your skin!), better safe than sorry, GO with something, even if it´s as light like as the Benton deep green tea Lotion.
Greettings!
Yes you are right about that however it's a derivative that is used in this serum.
"Sodium hyaluronate is a particularly effective humectant because it is effective in both high and low humidity conditions. When sodium hyaluronate is protonated, or made acidic, it is called hyaluronic acid. But sodium hyaluronate has greater chemical stability than hyaluronic acid and does not pull moisture out of the deeper layers of your skin under particularly dry conditions."
hi!! ty this helped!! can i used both of these after the peeling solution? along with the cervae moisturizer?
Yes you can!
