  • 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'.

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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!!!💕💕💕

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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!🥰

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.

      @@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!

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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?

    • @MrHojicha
      @MrHojicha 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @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

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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?😊

    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?

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!!

      @@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.

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial

      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

      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. 😀

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Is this your AM and PM routine?

      - 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😊

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

      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.

    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 !

    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!

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial

      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%

    Hello! Can you help me on how to apply these serums?
    •niacinamide 10 + zinc
    • hyaluronic acid
    • lactic acid 10%
    • NMF

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial

      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😊

    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? 😅

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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:

      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!

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

  • @Supertotopito
    @Supertotopito 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

    • @MelissaVanDijkOfficial
      @MelissaVanDijkOfficial  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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."
