Namaste Melissa Are these steps okay? At nighttime: 1.face wash 2.retinol 3.axis-y 4.moisturizer At Daytime: 1. Wash only with water 2. Vitamin c serum 3.axis y 4.Moisturizer 6.sunscree
What retinol formulation do you use? Otherwise, you would have to apply it after the Axis Y Glow Serum. Always layer products from the thinnest to the thickest texture for optimal product absorption. But the rest looks okay.
Hey Melissa, may I ask if I can use axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum and the ordinary niacinamide 10% zinc 1% together? If yes which should i apply first? Thank you 😊
Both contain a certain percentage of Niacinamide, so I would suggest using either one of them, or one in the morning and the other in the evening. It wouldn’t make much sense to use both in the same routine.
You can use it on the eye contour, but I recommend avoiding the eyelids, as it can easily get into your eyes and/or irritate the sensitive eyelid area. Additionally, the darkness may be caused by dehydration, food intolerances, and/or lack of sleep or stress.
Hello Melissa! Can I please use the ordinary retinol with it and also a moisturizer (night routine )? if yes , could you please tell me how ? Before or after ? I want to get a new effective routine that suits my skin and i want a good start with only few products (less is more) so i would be sooo very grateful if you gonna help . and thank you so much ! ❤
Hmm, it does not layer well, but you should use the dark spot correcting serum first. Personally, I would suggest using them on different days, ideally in your evening skincare routine. So, just cleanse the face, pat it dry, then apply either the Axis-Y Glow Serum or the retinol.
Hi, dear.. I have oily skin and also allergic and very few spots on my skin..can I use axis y directly after cleansing and lastly pond’s super gel moisturiser ?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiethey, after axis y serum, can I skip moisturizer before using sunscreen? Cause it already feels moisturizing to my oily face.... And I am using Nivea soft moisturizer nowadays.
Technically, yes, but practically, it's not needed since the Axis-Y Glow Serum already contains niacinamide. However, if you were to use a niacinamide serum, it should be applied first.
What's the issue with applying the essence / serum / other products on top of your eyelids ? I've always been putting them to avoid dry skin around my eye area & also to get rid of the dark circles/ spots there & it doesn't cause any irritation if I'm careful about not getting them inside the eye
Active ingredients, absorption into the bloodstream, products getting into your eyes, and essentially sensitivities that can easily develop over time, particularly with the delicate skin around the eyelids, are key concerns.
@@afrin2001 It depends on the products you are using. This includes sunscreen for the upper eyelids. But, to be honest, I usually just wear sunglasses (with UV protection). 😀
Hi , I want you to help me arrange an evening and morning routine .. I use cleanser, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C ( godal vita c serum ) , and Axis serum , and sunscreen .., How can I arrange them? 😢🥺 and which one before the other? ….. I think my vit c it’s contains nisnamide i’m not sure 🫣
You have already listed them in the correct order. You can also use one serum in the morning (AM) and the other one in the evening (PM). Remember, you do not need to use sunscreen at night.
Hi melissa, can i use this axis y niacinamide serum along with loreal 12% vitamin c + vitamin e + salicylic acid ?? If so, which one should i apply first? I have heard that vitamin c should be applied first and then the niacinamide
Hi mellisa , i jus wanted you to look my routine. Is it fine ? Am Cleanser Vit c Snail mucin Moisturizer Sunscreen Pm Cleanser Cosrx BHA essence Dark spot correcting serum Snail mucin Moisturizer
If you have a water-based vitamin C product or serum, then the morning routine is okay. However, for evening use, apply the Axis Y Glow Serum after the Snail Mucin since it contains heavier ingredients.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet derma co vit c serum is fine right ? .. and can I use bha essence daily? . Can you please correct pm routine in correct way one after the other? And since axis y already have niacinamide in that , so there need not to use niacinamide separately right?
@@sharanyanarayan2532 Yes. Whether you can use these products daily depends on your personal skin tolerance. You should apply the snail mucin after the BHA but before the dark spot correcting serum.
Hey Melissa I appreciate that you reply comments and that is why I feel safe leaving mine as well My question is can I use this with Centella ampoule+ instree yam root milk toner+ numbuzin No.3 serum + axis y+ snail mucin moisturizer I suffer from texture skin is like to know the serums/moisturizer that could work well for me🙏🙏
Yes, that's fine. However, wouldn't it be better to use a mild AHA+BHA toner or serum (like the one from Beauty of Joseon), and then follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer afterwards?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet hello thanks for your reply. Alright I will do as you say please guide me on which one to remove. Is it the No. 3 serum or the yam root toner and which toner/serum do you advice I settle for I have combination skin🙏🙏 And I suffer from comodones and textured skin
@@Aishaa5 Oh, so you have already bought them? Use your toner and one of the serums, and then apply your moisturizer afterwards in the AM. In the PM, use an exfoliating acid toner (like the one from Beauty of Joseon) followed by your moisturizer. However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your closed comedones, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance, like; bread/gluten, milk, chicken, eggs, etc).
Hi Melissa, Just discovered your channel and I love how you explain each and every step. Thank you for that. I’d a question - can I use TO Alpha-Arbutin with Dark Spot Axis Y? I’m thinking Alpha Arbutin first then Dark Spot maybe 2 - 3 times a week at night. My concern is hyperpigmentation and I have normal to oily skin.
Hi Mellisa, hope you are doing great! Mine is oily and acne prone skin can you please suggest which products can we use along with axis y dark spot correcting serem like can I use Paul's choice exfoliator twice a week with axis y and retinol with axis-y serum thrice a week? Can I combine retinal or Paul's choice exfoliator with axis y serum?
Hi Melissa I have a combination skin. Im going to start my akincare routine from now on. And i dont know what products i have to use for acne, dullness and others. And Im going to start with if its ok Am 1. Cleanser( im avovado-nutrition foam cleanser from TONYMOLY) 2. Essence( if its ok to use Snail96 for combination skin) 3. Rice toner(from Joseon Relief. And i have a question about that. If its ok to use rice tone after essence or U should only use eseence for my skin) 4. Axis-Y 5. Suncreen(which suncreen would you suggest my skintone) Pm 1. Oil cleanser( can I use Joseon Gingseng oil cleanser for my combination skin) 2. Cleanser 3. Retinal or serum(if its ok to use SNAIL96 for evening routine) 4.moisturizer( can I use Neutrogena for my skin) Thans in advance
Hey! :) I recommend using either your Rice Toner or Snail Essence. Still, if you want to use both, use the toner before applying your essence. COSRX, NIOD, Good Molecules, Biore, Nivea or Isntree could be great sunscreen options. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid sunscreen leaves the skin pretty glowy afterwards. Your PM routine looks good. Yes, you can use the Snail Essence before applying your Retinol or Retinoid to the skin. After that, you may not feel the need to use a moisturizer, in that case, it's fine to skip it.
Was bored as hell, I matched with a girl on Tinder that had nice skincare. Got into skincare. This feels kinda nice 🤣🤣 I learned to appreciate my face lol
@@EmanolGarcia CeraVe’s retinol already contains niacinamide, so I wouldn’t necessarily use them in the same routine. Instead, just use the AXIS-Y Glow Serum in the AM. :)
Hi Melissa! Is it okay if I use Axis-Y on damp skin, like right after I wash my face and remove excess water but while the skin is still damp or wet? Should I apply it then, followed by a moisturizer? Also, I use The Ordinary's 0.2% Retinol in Squalane-should I use the retinol before Axis-Y and then apply a moisturizer?
Yes, everything is good as long as you remove the water drops from the skin's surface. Apply the AXIS-Y Glow Serum before using your Retinol, and make sure to let it fully absorb into the skin before proceeding to the next step.
Hi Melissa hope you are well, I use tretinoin cream 0.05% at night so can I use axis glow serum with that if yes should I apply the serum before tretinoin or after the tretinoin. Further should we use niacinamide one time or two times a day? The products I currently have are Snail mucin, axis Y glow serum, ordinary ascorbic acid 8% + 2% Alpha Arbutin, tretinoin, Paula's choice 2% bha would appreciate if you could help breakdown the skincare steps (morning and evening) with these
Generally, if you use tretinoin, you don't need to use other products. But to answer your question, I would layer the serum before the cream, allowing maybe a couple of minutes in between for absorption. My suggestion is: Morning routine: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Apply sunscreen (if you're exposed to the sun). Evening routine: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Wait a few minutes. Apply tretinoin. That's it!

Hello Melissa! I have acne on my forehead and dark spots on my face. I have oily skin type.Can I use these for my problem? 1.AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner COSRX 2.Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence COSRX 3.Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum Axis-y 4.Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream COSRX 4.POND'S SUPER LIGHT GEL Please help me 🥺
Yes, however, the AXIS-Y Glow Serum, with or without the moisturizer, may be a bit too heavy for your oily skin. I also recommend using just one moisturizer (if you really need one); the Snail Essence can be hydrating enough so that you do not need any moisturizer afterwards. So, if the AXIS-Y Glow Serum is too heavy for you, I recommend using a water-based serum (such as those from The Ordinary, COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Geek & Gorgeous, or Good Molecules) instead. This could be a Niacinamide or Alpha Arbutin serum. What cleanser do you use? However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, milk, bread (gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
@@nabilabintesiddike1566 It won't change the application. Still, pat the skin dry with a clean towel and then apply your serum. Or, see here: th-cam.com/video/jvqvR1em-i0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aKTDIIU8-Np5aEAy
Hiii... hope you are doing great..I am 22 years old and I have acne and acne spots on my skin..so I want to try this axis- y Glow serum...can I use it regularly in the evening or in every other day..??
Yes, or if it's pure Aloe Vera Gel, you could even use it before applying the Glow Serum. However, do you still feel the need to use a moisturizer after using the Serum?
No, you leave it on the skin until the next day. If you use it in the morning, you leave it on until the evening. If you use it in the evening, you wash it off in the morning.
Hi Melissa, I Usually Use Beauty Of Joseon Retinal Eye Serum On My Entire Face As A Retinol.Can I Use This Serum With Retinol? And If I Can Which Order Should I Apply?
Yes, you can use Axis Y Glow Serum with Beauty Of Joseon Retinal Eye Serum. As for the order, it doesn't really matter, and you can layer them in any order you prefer.

Hi,currently I am using cosrx snail essence and axis y serum together I noticed i am getting red bump on my cheeks and forehead and it's been 10 days using these..so should I continue using them? 😢
Have you used the products individually before, or did you start using them together right away? Also, are you using any other products along with these? Additionally, what cleanser are you using, and did you start using it before or at the same time as these products?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet yes I have used them separately to know whether it suits or not!and also I am using zayn and myza vitamin c facewash which I have been using for quite long time ..I wash my face with facewash then apply essence and this serum
@@nargissultana3732 In that case, it may be best to keep them separate, as you will still receive the same benefits. Perhaps it's too much for the skin, or it could be the combination that you do not tolerate well. However, it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause!
I have dark acne spots that have been disappearing for 6 months and I was thinking of buying Axis Y Serum and Goodal Vitamin C, do you think it would help me get rid of them?
I guess you meant to write that they haven't disappeared in the last 6 months? Do you have dark red or brown spots? What skincare products are you currently using?
Hi Mellisa , sorry for disturbing but i just wanna ask if my skincare routine is good enough for oily and acne prone skin... Normally after cleansing I use a toner and apply axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum first and then use cosrx snail 92 all in one cream which has a thicker consistency...and then I use a moisturizer and night cream if it's evening skincare and finishing everything with a sunscreen Just wanted ur opinion on this ....thank u🫶🏻
What toner do you have? What moisturizer and night cream do you use? Could you also list the exact morning and evening skincare routines you're currently following? I'm a bit confused as to why you're using snail cream, moisturizer, and a night cream, as they all serve the same purpose. 🤔 And what are you hoping to achieve with this routine?
Hi, I use a niacinamide toner that is from a brand called dot&key... Which I think i should probably stop cuz my skin has become sensitive due to the overdose of niacinamide from both the toner and the axis-y dark spot serum...for the morning routine...after that toner I use the Axis-y dark spot treatment serum and then I use cosrx snail 92 cream which as i mentioned before has a thicker consistency than the axis-y..... after that i use a moisturizer from the company called quench that has matcha in it and after that I actually use two types of sunscreen...which is a tinted one and a sunstick... For the night routine it is the same but instead of the quench moisturizer I use a night cream that has retinol and ceramide in it and then i use only one of sunscreen....and on Sundays i add retinol in my evening skin care routine....that is after toner and before the axis-y... These r my 2 routines.....and thank u for replying 😆
Ok, using multiple moisturizers in the same routine is not needed. Try this instead: AM: - Cleanser - Hydrating or Brightening Toner (if used) - Glow Serum - (Optional) Moisturizer (just one of them) - Sunscreen (just one of them) PM: - Cleanser - Hydrating or Brightening Toner (if used) - Glow Serum - (Optional) Moisturizer (with Retinol) Other PM: - Cleanser - Hydrating or Brightening Toner (if used) - Glow Serum - Retinol - (Optional) Moisturizer (just one of them - without Retinol)
Hello . I use Glutaday facewash , Snail Mucin , Purito Centella Unscented Serum and Gel Cream moisturizer at night. So, I was wondering if I could add Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum in my night routine and should I first apply Purito Serum or Axis-Y one?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I did use the Centella Serum first but I used Axis-Y serum after using moisturizer as I'm afraid it'll irritate my skin. And I had many pimples all over my face when I first used Purito Centella Unscented Serum, so I wanted to know if it's normal or should I stop using it?!
@@preksharai7364 How much do you use of the Centella Serum? Since when are you using your Cleanser, Snail Essence and Moisturizer? And since when do you use your Centella Serum? What's your skin type and what are your skin concerns? Do you apply your skincare products to wet skin?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet My skin type is oily but it's been a few months since I have my cheek sides dry. So, I think my skin is dehydrated rn. I finished my 1 bottle of snail mucin and I apply it on my wet skin after cleansing and then apply Purito Centella Unscented Serum after 1-2 minutes then apply my moisturizer.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet before using Snail Mucin my skin barrier was kinda damaged so, I started to use Snail Mucin and it had helped me a lot to repair it and improve my skin. My skin was all clear but I thought of adding a hydrating and calming serum as my skin is very very sensitive but it gave me many pimples. It has been 2-3 weeks since I have been using it .
Hii.. When I searched for AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum ,it showed 2 types. One with aloe scent and other with papaya scent. Which one should I use?
I recommend not using them together, but rather at different times of the day. Use the Axis Y Glow serum in the morning and apply tretinoin in the evening.
I used this serum in morning and after I used sunscreen then almost 2 hours later I saw that I got so many bumps all over my face. Did it react for sunlight? Cz I use it at night and never happened that
Are you sure that it's the serum, or is the sunscreen causing your skin to break out? I mean, it could be that the combination may just be too rich for you and then clog your pores. Alternatively, yes, the combination may react with your skin. However, it could also be your sunscreen.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet it is a prescribed medication. Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel - 1.2%/5%. And I use the unscented Hydro Boost water gel from Neutrogena.
I have the snail mucin and the ginseng water, which goes after cleansing? Also, I thought the snail mucin should be applied to damped skin...which is it. Thank you.
Have you looked at my PowerPoint? There is misinformation circulating on social media. Specifically, some people are sharing images/videos of wet skin that are misleading.

Small bumps that appear after applying skincare products to wet skin could be a sign of a condition known as "closed comedones," which are small, flesh-colored or white bumps that form when dead skin cells and oil become trapped within hair follicles. When you apply skincare products to wet skin, the products may mix with the natural oils and sebum on the skin, which can create a barrier that traps dead skin cells and bacteria inside the hair follicles. This can lead to the formation of closed comedones. To avoid this issue, it is generally recommended to apply skincare products to clean, dry skin. This can help to ensure that the products are able to penetrate the skin and provide the intended benefits without becoming trapped within hair follicles.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much!!! Wow. I was applying the snail right after the ginseng water thinking it had to be applied to damp skin. Sigh thanks again

@@kanzanaseem719 Haha, it takes at least several weeks to see improvements, as these treatments need time to work. I would suggest giving it at least 1-2 months. So, consistency is key. Almost everything you see online with quick results isn't real - it's manipulated in some way. Therefore, be consistent with your treatment. However, if irritation occurs, don't hesitate to adjust your routine. Feel free to ask me again after several days or weeks. Just post your questions underneath my videos.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ok thank u so much....your recommendation means a lot me if anything happens in my routine I will for surely inform you..ty
Yes, the reason for this is that sunscreens contain hydrating ingredients, and if you choose the right formulations for your needs, you can simply skip it. However, let's say you have a very drying matte sunscreen and you feel the need for extra hydration. In that case, you can certainly use it, but it would be best to choose another sunscreen that fits your needs.
It depends on your personal skin tolerance for the serum, but I would start with using it once per day. Do that for a few weeks, then see how that goes. If you tolerate it well, you can increase to using it twice daily.

@@mehtabbukhari9354 It is normal that you may not be able to completely eliminate your skin concerns, as these products are treatments rather than cures. While you can expect to see improvements in your current skin condition, complete elimination is not guaranteed. To increase effectiveness, consider switching from retinol to a retinoid, which offers a more potent formulation. Here is a suggested nighttime routine: Clean your face with Cetaphil. Gently pat your skin dry. Apply Differin Gel. (No moisturizer is needed.) Additionally, make sure the creams you're using are suitable for your skin type. If you don't have dry skin, consider replacing them with a water-based Vitamin C serum and a light gel-based moisturizer. Some examples are The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% or G&G C Glow for Vitamin C, and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or G&G Hydration Station for moisturizing. wake up routine could be as follows: Wash your face with Cetaphil. Pat your skin dry. Apply a Vitamin C serum (such as the ones mentioned above). Apply hyaluronic acid. Wait 1-2 minutes for absorption. Apply sunscreen. By following these routines and ensuring your products match your skin type, you can optimize the results and better manage your skin concerns.

According to their website, the product contains hyaluronic acid, so there is no need for an additional toner or serum. You can use it in the following steps: Cleanse your face Apply vitamin C serum Apply Axis Y glow serum Apply sunscreen during the daytime Regarding the CeraVe acne control cleanser, it depends on your personal skin tolerance. If you are new to such products, it is recommended to start by using it every other day and then slowly increase the frequency to daily if your skin tolerates it. This is because it can cause irritation or dryness, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Hi Melissa i bought these skincare products hoe is it best to introduced everything: -Darkspot correcting glow serum -azelaic acid -Bha Aha 30 days toner -diferin gel -vitamin c -snail mu 96 mucin ?
I think it would be best to start with Differin gel and add ingredients such as Azelaic Acid and BHA/AHA toner at a later point (after several weeks), so that your skin has time to adjust to it. AM: Clean face with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Pat dry. Apply Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum or Vitamin C serum. Apply sunscreen if exposed to the sun. PM: Clean face with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Pat dry. Apply Differin gel. You can now leave it as it is or follow with the snail mucin. If you use the snail mucin, give the Differin gel a few minutes to fully absorb into the skin. Regarding the frequency of Differin gel, you can technically use it daily. However, for some, it works best when first used every other day and then, after a few weeks, increasing the frequency to daily usage.

The Snail All-In-One Cream contains some occlusive agents and features a lightweight snail mucin, making it ideal for oily or normal skin. Therefore, I would recommend that one. As for the other product, its performance depends on your overall tolerance and how well it works on your skin. The serum has a lightweight formulation and contains ingredients necessary to fade acne scars. However, it's difficult to determine which one would perform better.
Hi beautiful ... Im layering minimalist alpha arbutin with snail 96 mucin power essence as Im having pigmentation . is it possible to layer this product too . please let me know. Thanks
The best way to lighten dark eyelids would be to wear sunscreen or use sunglasses whenever possible to protect them from the sun. This can help them lighten over time. Additionally, using products specifically formulated and tested for the eye area can be beneficial. However, genetic factors may make them more resistant to treatment, requiring a different approach. In such cases, it is advisable to contact a doctor for further guidance.
Hi, I know this is from a year ago, but I'm new here. I have a question, can you do the whole face or only where there are brown spots? I have two or three brown spots from the sun. I've read that you can only apply it to those areas and not the whole face, if the rest is fine, does it fit??
Please after I cleansed my face with corsx gentle cleanser then I apply corsx propolosis toner on wet face then I go in with axis y dark spot correcting glow serum, then corsx snail mucin and lastly Isntree sun gel. But recently I have been breaking out, please what am I doing that is wrong?
The reason is that you're applying the products to a wet face. While this may look super cute on camera, it's something you should avoid at all costs when layering skincare products. It leads to product dilution and improper absorption, which can ultimately result in skin sensitivities or irritation.
Hello Melissa, I have a combination skin type. Can I use nacific fresh herb origin cream after applying axis y serum? or can you recommend a brightening cream for pigmentation. I have kinda bluish dark circle too. I am confused if thats dark circle or another kind of pigmentation.
Hey! :) Yes, that's fine! :) As for your dark circles, there are various reasons why you may experience them. First, the skin around the eyes is already naturally thin, and as we age, it becomes even thinner, which can result in a blue or purple hue in the eye contour over time. Other possible factors could be stress, dehydration, lack of sleep, hollowness, or it may be inherited. While some lifestyle changes may help reduce the appearance of dark circles, if the skin is too thin or the condition is inherited, there isn't much that can be done from a topical skincare perspective.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for your reply. I am 25. That lack of sleep and stress part is true. I don't have good sleeping habit. I went through a lot past one and half year. Because of university application and all i rarely slept at night. It was always like 5-6am in the morning and sleeping period was for 3-5 hrs maximum. I went thtough a lot of stress. Now i am trying to change my sleeping habit. Is there any product that can help?
@@kohinurrahman2341 Hm..if it is stress and lack of sleep related, it's best to change that to reduce the discolouration under the eyes. So far, I'm not aware of a product that can 'erase' dark circles as they are usually related to an underlying cause. I mean you may have luck with a Vitamin C or Niacinamide eye serum or cream, however, I can not guarantee this.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I use ordinary niacinamide serum. I was thinking about trying vitamin c serum or cream. Thank you very much. At least i can try to change my sleeping habit and increase my sleeping hour. God bless you 💙
I have a question, can I use the ordinary glycolic acid toner after washing my face and follow up with the Cosrx snail mucin and the axis y dark treatment in my pm routine?
yes, you can. Clean your face. Pat dry. Apply glycolic acid. Wait for 1-2 minutes. Apply snail mucin. Wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Apply Axis Y serum.
Oh my I was just waiting for this 😍😍. Thank you.
Your accent is everything 🤌❤️😂
Namaste Melissa
Are these steps okay?
At nighttime:
1.face wash
2.retinol
3.axis-y
4.moisturizer
At Daytime:
1. Wash only with water
2. Vitamin c serum
3.axis y
4.Moisturizer
6.sunscree
What retinol formulation do you use? Otherwise, you would have to apply it after the Axis Y Glow Serum. Always layer products from the thinnest to the thickest texture for optimal product absorption.
But the rest looks okay.
Hey Melissa, may I ask if I can use axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum and the ordinary niacinamide 10% zinc 1% together? If yes which should i apply first? Thank you 😊
Both contain a certain percentage of Niacinamide, so I would suggest using either one of them, or one in the morning and the other in the evening. It wouldn’t make much sense to use both in the same routine.
Such a helpful video. Can you explain why can't we use it on the eye area? For dark circles?
You can use it on the eye contour, but I recommend avoiding the eyelids, as it can easily get into your eyes and/or irritate the sensitive eyelid area. Additionally, the darkness may be caused by dehydration, food intolerances, and/or lack of sleep or stress.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDietAhh, as long as it doesn't go near my eyelids. It should be fine to use, correct?
@@katsukibakugou5013 Yes.
Hello Melissa!
Can I please use the ordinary retinol with it and also a moisturizer (night routine )? if yes , could you please tell me how ? Before or after ? I want to get a new effective routine that suits my skin and i want a good start with only few products (less is more) so i would be sooo very grateful if you gonna help . and thank you so much ! ❤
Hmm, it does not layer well, but you should use the dark spot correcting serum first. Personally, I would suggest using them on different days, ideally in your evening skincare routine. So, just cleanse the face, pat it dry, then apply either the Axis-Y Glow Serum or the retinol.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet okey Melissa I see . Thank you sooo much for being kind and helpful ❤❤❤
Hi, dear.. I have oily skin and also allergic and very few spots on my skin..can I use axis y directly after cleansing and lastly pond’s super gel moisturiser ?
Yes, but it would help to know what you are allergic to, and then check this against the ingredients list of the AXIS-Y Glow Serum.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiethey, after axis y serum, can I skip moisturizer before using sunscreen?
Cause it already feels moisturizing to my oily face....
And I am using Nivea soft moisturizer nowadays.
@@NatishaTasmeem-ff8cn Yes, that's fine.
Hy melissa i have normal skin type, i use cleanser and essence and Axis y . Can I just skip moisturizer???
Yes you can! :)
@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you 🥺😘
Hi melissa! Can i use the ordinary niacinamide and axis y’s together? And if i can which one should be first? Please answer. Thank you😁
Technically, yes, but practically, it's not needed since the Axis-Y Glow Serum already contains niacinamide. However, if you were to use a niacinamide serum, it should be applied first.
What's the issue with applying the essence / serum / other products on top of your eyelids ? I've always been putting them to avoid dry skin around my eye area & also to get rid of the dark circles/ spots there & it doesn't cause any irritation if I'm careful about not getting them inside the eye
Active ingredients, absorption into the bloodstream, products getting into your eyes, and essentially sensitivities that can easily develop over time, particularly with the delicate skin around the eyelids, are key concerns.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet So it's bad to apply them even in your under eye area as well ?? What about sunscreen?
@@afrin2001 It depends on the products you are using. This includes sunscreen for the upper eyelids. But, to be honest, I usually just wear sunglasses (with UV protection). 😀
Hi , I want you to help me arrange an evening and morning routine .. I use cleanser, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C ( godal vita c serum ) , and Axis serum , and sunscreen .., How can I arrange them? 😢🥺 and which one before the other? ….. I think my vit c it’s contains nisnamide i’m not sure 🫣
You have already listed them in the correct order. You can also use one serum in the morning (AM) and the other one in the evening (PM). Remember, you do not need to use sunscreen at night.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet can I use vitamin c with Acix seeum even though Vitamin C contains niacinamide?
@@annoome1422 Yes.

Hi melissa, can i use this axis y niacinamide serum along with loreal 12% vitamin c + vitamin e + salicylic acid ?? If so, which one should i apply first? I have heard that vitamin c should be applied first and then the niacinamide
Hey! 😊
Use one in the AM and the other in the PM, as L'Oreal's Vitamin C serum contains 12% of Ascorbic Acid.
Hi mellisa , i jus wanted you to look my routine. Is it fine ?
Am
Cleanser
Vit c
Snail mucin
Moisturizer
Sunscreen
Pm
Cleanser
Cosrx BHA essence
Dark spot correcting serum
Snail mucin
Moisturizer
If you have a water-based vitamin C product or serum, then the morning routine is okay. However, for evening use, apply the Axis Y Glow Serum after the Snail Mucin since it contains heavier ingredients.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet derma co vit c serum is fine right ? .. and can I use bha essence daily? . Can you please correct pm routine in correct way one after the other? And since axis y already have niacinamide in that , so there need not to use niacinamide separately right?
@@sharanyanarayan2532 Yes. Whether you can use these products daily depends on your personal skin tolerance. You should apply the snail mucin after the BHA but before the dark spot correcting serum.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you ❤️
Hey Melissa I appreciate that you reply comments and that is why I feel safe leaving mine as well
My question is can I use this with Centella ampoule+ instree yam root milk toner+ numbuzin No.3 serum + axis y+ snail mucin moisturizer
I suffer from texture skin is like to know the serums/moisturizer that could work well for me🙏🙏
Yes, that's fine. However, wouldn't it be better to use a mild AHA+BHA toner or serum (like the one from Beauty of Joseon), and then follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer afterwards?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet hello thanks for your reply. Alright I will do as you say please guide me on which one to remove. Is it the No. 3 serum or the yam root toner and which toner/serum do you advice I settle for
I have combination skin🙏🙏
And I suffer from comodones and textured skin
@@Aishaa5 Oh, so you have already bought them? Use your toner and one of the serums, and then apply your moisturizer afterwards in the AM. In the PM, use an exfoliating acid toner (like the one from Beauty of Joseon) followed by your moisturizer. However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your closed comedones, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance, like; bread/gluten, milk, chicken, eggs, etc).
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much
Hi Melissa,
Just discovered your channel and I love how you explain each and every step. Thank you for that.
I’d a question - can I use TO Alpha-Arbutin with Dark Spot Axis Y? I’m thinking Alpha Arbutin first then Dark Spot maybe 2 - 3 times a week at night.
My concern is hyperpigmentation and I have normal to oily skin.
Hey! :)
Thank you! Yes, that's fine.
Hi Mellisa, hope you are doing great! Mine is oily and acne prone skin can you please suggest which products can we use along with axis y dark spot correcting serem like can I use Paul's choice exfoliator twice a week with axis y and retinol with axis-y serum thrice a week? Can I combine retinal or Paul's choice exfoliator with axis y serum?
Hello,
Basically, yes, yes, and yes. As long as you do not combine the retinal with the BHA.
Hi Melissa
I have a combination skin. Im going to start my akincare routine from now on. And i dont know what products i have to use for acne, dullness and others. And Im going to start with if its ok
Am
1. Cleanser( im avovado-nutrition foam cleanser from TONYMOLY)
2. Essence( if its ok to use Snail96 for combination skin)
3. Rice toner(from Joseon Relief. And i have a question about that. If its ok to use rice tone after essence or U should only use eseence for my skin)
4. Axis-Y
5. Suncreen(which suncreen would you suggest my skintone)
Pm
1. Oil cleanser( can I use Joseon Gingseng oil cleanser for my combination skin)
2. Cleanser
3. Retinal or serum(if its ok to use SNAIL96 for evening routine)
4.moisturizer( can I use Neutrogena for my skin)
Thans in advance
Hey! :)
I recommend using either your Rice Toner or Snail Essence. Still, if you want to use both, use the toner before applying your essence.
COSRX, NIOD, Good Molecules, Biore, Nivea or Isntree could be great sunscreen options. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid sunscreen leaves the skin pretty glowy afterwards.
Your PM routine looks good. Yes, you can use the Snail Essence before applying your Retinol or Retinoid to the skin. After that, you may not feel the need to use a moisturizer, in that case, it's fine to skip it.
Was bored as hell, I matched with a girl on Tinder that had nice skincare. Got into skincare. This feels kinda nice 🤣🤣 I learned to appreciate my face lol
Do you recommend using Cerave Retinol after applying Axis Y (PM Routine)?
And should I use Axis Y AM and PM?
I would use the AXIS-Y Glow Serum in the AM and the Retinol in the PM :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet can I use together? Bottle says Axis Y can be used both am and pm? Thank you for responding!
@@EmanolGarcia CeraVe’s retinol already contains niacinamide, so I wouldn’t necessarily use them in the same routine. Instead, just use the AXIS-Y Glow Serum in the AM. :)
I learned a lot from you thank you.
I am using retinol on my skin routine now. Can I include Glow serum in my routine?
Yes you can! Use the glow serum before.
Hi Melissa!
Is it okay if I use Axis-Y on damp skin, like right after I wash my face and remove excess water but while the skin is still damp or wet? Should I apply it then, followed by a moisturizer?
Also, I use The Ordinary's 0.2% Retinol in Squalane-should I use the retinol before Axis-Y and then apply a moisturizer?
Yes, everything is good as long as you remove the water drops from the skin's surface. Apply the AXIS-Y Glow Serum before using your Retinol, and make sure to let it fully absorb into the skin before proceeding to the next step.
A bit late, but how do i layer the axis y serum and hyaluronic acid? Which goes first? Or do i skip the hyaluronic acid in the morning?
I recommend watching the video :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i have, but i was wondering how i would layer all 3
Snail mucin, hyaluronic acid and the axis y
My bad
@@scaryhybrid I've listed them in the correct order of application in my example routines in the video: Snail Mucin, HA Serum, AXIS-Y Glow Serum ;)
Hi Melissa hope you are well, I use tretinoin cream 0.05% at night so can I use axis glow serum with that if yes should I apply the serum before tretinoin or after the tretinoin. Further should we use niacinamide one time or two times a day? The products I currently have are Snail mucin, axis Y glow serum, ordinary ascorbic acid 8% + 2% Alpha Arbutin, tretinoin, Paula's choice 2% bha would appreciate if you could help breakdown the skincare steps (morning and evening) with these
Generally, if you use tretinoin, you don't need to use other products. But to answer your question, I would layer the serum before the cream, allowing maybe a couple of minutes in between for absorption.
My suggestion is:
Morning routine:
Clean your face.
Pat it dry.
Apply sunscreen (if you're exposed to the sun).
Evening routine:
Clean your face.
Pat it dry.
Wait a few minutes.
Apply tretinoin.
That's it!

Yes, however, the AXIS-Y Glow Serum, with or without the moisturizer, may be a bit too heavy for your oily skin. I also recommend using just one moisturizer (if you really need one); the Snail Essence can be hydrating enough so that you do not need any moisturizer afterwards. So, if the AXIS-Y Glow Serum is too heavy for you, I recommend using a water-based serum (such as those from The Ordinary, COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Geek & Gorgeous, or Good Molecules) instead. This could be a Niacinamide or Alpha Arbutin serum. What cleanser do you use?
However, I also recommend investigating the root causes of your acne, such as lack of sleep, stress or mental health issues, environmental factors (air & water quality, washing detergent, etc), or your diet (such as consuming too much added sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerance; like soy, milk, bread (gluten), eggs, chicken, etc).
Hi Melissa
Should I apply it on damp skin or dry skin?
I recommend following my guide :)
But I want to use it after cleansing my face. You didn't mention if I should apply it on damp or dry skin :)
@@nabilabintesiddike1566 It won't change the application. Still, pat the skin dry with a clean towel and then apply your serum. Or, see here: th-cam.com/video/jvqvR1em-i0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aKTDIIU8-Np5aEAy

No, you leave it on the skin until the next day. If you use it in the morning, you leave it on until the evening. If you use it in the evening, you wash it off in the morning.
Can i use moisturizer after the serum
Yes, as demonstrated in my example routine...

Hi Mellisa , sorry for disturbing but i just wanna ask if my skincare routine is good enough for oily and acne prone skin...
Normally after cleansing I use a toner and apply axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum first and then use cosrx snail 92 all in one cream which has a thicker consistency...and then I use a moisturizer and night cream if it's evening skincare and finishing everything with a sunscreen
Just wanted ur opinion on this ....thank u🫶🏻
What toner do you have? What moisturizer and night cream do you use? Could you also list the exact morning and evening skincare routines you're currently following? I'm a bit confused as to why you're using snail cream, moisturizer, and a night cream, as they all serve the same purpose. 🤔 And what are you hoping to achieve with this routine?
Hi, I use a niacinamide toner that is from a brand called dot&key... Which I think i should probably stop cuz my skin has become sensitive due to the overdose of niacinamide from both the toner and the axis-y dark spot serum...for the morning routine...after that toner I use the Axis-y dark spot treatment serum and then I use cosrx snail 92 cream which as i mentioned before has a thicker consistency than the axis-y..... after that i use a moisturizer from the company called quench that has matcha in it and after that I actually use two types of sunscreen...which is a tinted one and a sunstick...
For the night routine it is the same but instead of the quench moisturizer I use a night cream that has retinol and ceramide in it and then i use only one of sunscreen....and on Sundays i add retinol in my evening skin care routine....that is after toner and before the axis-y...
These r my 2 routines.....and thank u for replying 😆
Ok, using multiple moisturizers in the same routine is not needed.
Try this instead:
AM:
- Cleanser
- Hydrating or Brightening Toner (if used)
- Glow Serum
- (Optional) Moisturizer (just one of them)
- Sunscreen (just one of them)
PM:

I used this serum in morning and after I used sunscreen then almost 2 hours later I saw that I got so many bumps all over my face. Did it react for sunlight? Cz I use it at night and never happened that
Are you sure that it's the serum, or is the sunscreen causing your skin to break out? I mean, it could be that the combination may just be too rich for you and then clog your pores. Alternatively, yes, the combination may react with your skin. However, it could also be your sunscreen.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you. I just checked it out. Maybe that's why I got small bumps when using the mucin.
Smh. Thank you.
Small bumps that appear after applying skincare products to wet skin could be a sign of a condition known as "closed comedones," which are small, flesh-colored or white bumps that form when dead skin cells and oil become trapped within hair follicles.
When you apply skincare products to wet skin, the products may mix with the natural oils and sebum on the skin, which can create a barrier that traps dead skin cells and bacteria inside the hair follicles. This can lead to the formation of closed comedones.
To avoid this issue, it is generally recommended to apply skincare products to clean, dry skin. This can help to ensure that the products are able to penetrate the skin and provide the intended benefits without becoming trapped within hair follicles.

Use it before applying the AXIS-Y Glow Serum, although that Vitamin C serum already contains Niacinamide.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet yes I know my mistake, I used missha but now I have the L’Oreal vitamin c with salicylic,should I put axis before this one? Like axis y, vitamin c, toner,amboule and moisturizer Centella Madagascar?

After applying the Essence and the AXIS-Y Glow Serum, I don't think you need to use the Snail Cream. The Essence and Serum should provide enough hydration, leaving your skin feeling lightweight.

@@kanzanaseem719 Haha, it takes at least several weeks to see improvements, as these treatments need time to work. I would suggest giving it at least 1-2 months. So, consistency is key. Almost everything you see online with quick results isn't real - it's manipulated in some way. Therefore, be consistent with your treatment. However, if irritation occurs, don't hesitate to adjust your routine. Feel free to ask me again after several days or weeks. Just post your questions underneath my videos.

Yes :)
Awesome! Well done❤
For combination skin, after using snail 96 and axis y dark spot serum, which moisturer should i use? Can u suggest me a list so i can check on that
Do you still feel the need to follow up with a moisturizer after using these two products? If not, it's perfectly fine to skip using one.
So, you saying in the morning there is no need to moisturize? Just use spf after? In the night we moisture?
Yes, the reason for this is that sunscreens contain hydrating ingredients, and if you choose the right formulations for your needs, you can simply skip it. However, let's say you have a very drying matte sunscreen and you feel the need for extra hydration. In that case, you can certainly use it, but it would be best to choose another sunscreen that fits your needs.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet but can i use it with panoxyl?

Hi, can you use the dark spot correcting glow serum in your morning and night routine daily
It depends on your personal skin tolerance for the serum, but I would start with using it once per day. Do that for a few weeks, then see how that goes. If you tolerate it well, you can increase to using it twice daily.
Hello. Please i have some dard spots over nose and cheeks. My skin is dry and dullness. can you suggest me best product for face clearing from dark spots and getting brighter and glowing. i already have Ordinary Hyloranic acid and neacinamide as well.

Keep in mind My skin is dry, dark spots, dullness, some whitehead skin and i do night job as well. Thanks
Hello,
For how long have you been using these products? And how often did you use them? Can you write down the routine that you followed so that I can help you better?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hello
wake up routine.
I wakeup 4pm because i do night job. I wash face with Cepaphil and then use hyaluronic acid .Then i apply Garnier Vitmin c face cream. and then use suncream.
Midnight:
I sometimes apply ordinary niacinamide as well
Before bed routine:
When i finish job in the morning, I go home. Again clean face with cetaphil and use ordinary hyaluronic acid and then use ordinary Retinol 1%. and then Cetaphil moisturiser and sleep.
Once in week:
I also apply AHA30 BhA ordinary as well once in week. I have been using this products for the last 5 month. i got some results but still my face is not clear like dullness, Marks and have some spots as well.
Can tell me proper routine and products to add or skip.
I have not been doing face mask which is will use from tomorrow as well. I also ordered Vitamin C 30 The Inky list, Inkylist eye cream and new sunseal spf 50 by microskin which will be delivered to me today.
@@mehtabbukhari9354 It is normal that you may not be able to completely eliminate your skin concerns, as these products are treatments rather than cures. While you can expect to see improvements in your current skin condition, complete elimination is not guaranteed.
To increase effectiveness, consider switching from retinol to a retinoid, which offers a more potent formulation.
Here is a suggested nighttime routine:
Clean your face with Cetaphil.
Gently pat your skin dry.
Apply Differin Gel. (No moisturizer is needed.)
Additionally, make sure the creams you're using are suitable for your skin type. If you don't have dry skin, consider replacing them with a water-based Vitamin C serum and a light gel-based moisturizer. Some examples are The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% or G&G C Glow for Vitamin C, and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel or G&G Hydration Station for moisturizing.
wake up routine could be as follows:
Wash your face with Cetaphil.
Pat your skin dry.
Apply a Vitamin C serum (such as the ones mentioned above).
Apply hyaluronic acid.
Wait 1-2 minutes for absorption.
Apply sunscreen.
By following these routines and ensuring your products match your skin type, you can optimize the results and better manage your skin concerns.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you so much.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet my skin is dry so vitamins c serum is good for me? and which moisturiser is best for me can you mention please? and can you please tell me should i apply vitamin c serum first after cleansing or should i apply heyaluronic acid first?
Can i use axis y dark spot correcting glow serum with the ordinary niacinamide serum?
Well, it already contains niacinamide, so I would either use one of them or use them on alternate days.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet does it cause any side effect by using those products together ?
@@himista7582 Well, your skin may be exposed to too much Niacinamide and other ingredients, which could potentially overwhelm the skin. However, overall, it depends on your skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you ❤️
Hi there,
I’ve got the ordinary glycolic 7% toning solution. Would I use this before or after the AXIS-Y correcting serum?? And If for example you use it after the glycolic acid, would you need to wait a few minutes to apply it or should you apply it instantly :)
many thanks
Use it before, wait for the toner to absorb into the skin and then move on to the Glow Serum. Just as I shared with you in my example skincare routine :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much, I had a feeling it was that.

Hello! If I want to add Groome vitamin C-12% serum on this example skin care routine, when should I apply it?
Also I use CeraVe acne control cleander. How many times a week should I use that?
Please help! 🥲
According to their website, the product contains hyaluronic acid, so there is no need for an additional toner or serum. You can use it in the following steps:
Cleanse your face
Apply vitamin C serum
Apply Axis Y glow serum
Apply sunscreen during the daytime
Regarding the CeraVe acne control cleanser, it depends on your personal skin tolerance. If you are new to such products, it is recommended to start by using it every other day and then slowly increase the frequency to daily if your skin tolerates it. This is because it can cause irritation or dryness, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Hi Melissa i bought these skincare products hoe is it best to introduced everything:
-Darkspot correcting glow serum
-azelaic acid
-Bha Aha 30 days toner
-diferin gel
-vitamin c
-snail mu 96 mucin ?
I think it would be best to start with Differin gel and add ingredients such as Azelaic Acid and BHA/AHA toner at a later point (after several weeks), so that your skin has time to adjust to it.
AM:
Clean face with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.
Pat dry.
Apply Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum or Vitamin C serum.
Apply sunscreen if exposed to the sun.
PM:
Clean face with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.
Pat dry.
Apply Differin gel.
You can now leave it as it is or follow with the snail mucin. If you use the snail mucin, give the Differin gel a few minutes to fully absorb into the skin.
Regarding the frequency of Differin gel, you can technically use it daily. However, for some, it works best when first used every other day and then, after a few weeks, increasing the frequency to daily usage.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for your message!! i learned the hard way haha my skin got super sensitive and irritated.. so i stopped overal with the actives .. my skin is now better! and the acne has calmed down very much , i got some pimples on my period. what i am doing now is differin gel only 2 nights a week and one day using the bha/aha toner .

Hello My Routine Is Now
Panoxyl 10%
Snail Mucin 96%
And The Corsx Birch Sap Moisturizer.
I want to add the Axis Y Dark Spot Treatment And also wanted to ask the snail 92% cream and 96% do they have the same function or is one better?
Also Related For Clearing Hyperpigmentation from acne scars is the Axis Y Spot Or Tiam Vita B3 which would you say is better?
The Snail All-In-One Cream contains some occlusive agents and features a lightweight snail mucin, making it ideal for oily or normal skin. Therefore, I would recommend that one.
As for the other product, its performance depends on your overall tolerance and how well it works on your skin. The serum has a lightweight formulation and contains ingredients necessary to fade acne scars. However, it's difficult to determine which one would perform better.
Can I use my Jumiso vitamin C serum with the axis y dark spot corrector in the morning?

If you say we shouldn’t apply on our eye lid.. how do we clear darker eye lid please ?
The best way to lighten dark eyelids would be to wear sunscreen or use sunglasses whenever possible to protect them from the sun. This can help them lighten over time. Additionally, using products specifically formulated and tested for the eye area can be beneficial. However, genetic factors may make them more resistant to treatment, requiring a different approach. In such cases, it is advisable to contact a doctor for further guidance.

But recently I have been breaking out, please what am I doing that is wrong?
The reason is that you're applying the products to a wet face. While this may look super cute on camera, it's something you should avoid at all costs when layering skincare products. It leads to product dilution and improper absorption, which can ultimately result in skin sensitivities or irritation.

Hello Melissa, I have a combination skin type. Can I use nacific fresh herb origin cream after applying axis y serum? or can you recommend a brightening cream for pigmentation. I have kinda bluish dark circle too. I am confused if thats dark circle or another kind of pigmentation.
Hey! :)
Yes, that's fine! :)
As for your dark circles, there are various reasons why you may experience them. First, the skin around the eyes is already naturally thin, and as we age, it becomes even thinner, which can result in a blue or purple hue in the eye contour over time. Other possible factors could be stress, dehydration, lack of sleep, hollowness, or it may be inherited.
While some lifestyle changes may help reduce the appearance of dark circles, if the skin is too thin or the condition is inherited, there isn't much that can be done from a topical skincare perspective.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for your reply. I am 25. That lack of sleep and stress part is true. I don't have good sleeping habit. I went through a lot past one and half year.

@@kohinurrahman2341 Hm..if it is stress and lack of sleep related, it's best to change that to reduce the discolouration under the eyes. So far, I'm not aware of a product that can 'erase' dark circles as they are usually related to an underlying cause. I mean you may have luck with a Vitamin C or Niacinamide eye serum or cream, however, I can not guarantee this.
