I like that cloth pieces on your hands for preventing water dripping while face washing 👌👌👌
Yes, I'm thinking of producing them. Haha, it's called a wristband, and they're really practical for absorbing water.
i have combination skin. I don't have acne or any pimples. however, i do wake up with an oily t zones. i have some Whiteheads & blackheads (not too much), the pores around my t zone is a bit enlarged (but again, not too much).
so, can i use this? or will this be too drying/stripping for me?
I recommend using a non-exfoliating acid cleanser (like CeraVe Foaming Cleanser) instead. Additionally, you may want to use a Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Toner or Serum, and/or a Niacinamide Serum. The advantage of these products is that you can apply them specifically to the area you want to treat.
Hello, can you please suggest something for my combination skin , I have some black and whiteheads around the T zone and some little pimples in my forehead, so can you please tell me which cerave cleanser and moisturizer should I use? And I love you 😘❤
For blackheads, I recommend extraction; everything else will likely not show any results. For the rest, you could try using the cleanser. If you want to use a moisturizer, then consider their new Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel.
Now you should start doing videos like " my fav vit C serum or niacinamide" , just a recommendation, we would love to know that since there are Soo many in market .
I appreciate your suggestion and understand where you're coming from. With the overwhelming number of serums and niacinamide products on the market, it can indeed be helpful to have recommendations. However, I find it challenging to single out a "favorite" product because each formulation has unique properties and may serve different needs.
Rather than simply promoting a "favorite," I believe in educating on the individual characteristics of each product and how they can cater to various skin types or concerns. This way, you can make an informed choice that best suits your skin.
Please feel free to suggest any specific products you'd like me to discuss or review.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial you are Soo sweet and a lovely person ❤️❤️ , yeah I get your point . Love and Respect from Pakistan ❤️❤️❤️
@@mariakhan2056 Greetings from 🇱🇺
Hi Melissa ! I’m new to the channel. This is my skincare routine. I also think I have a “balanced” skin type. But I do struggle with closed comodones, and whiteheads every now and then
Morning:
Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser
Snail Mucin Power Essence
Hyaluronic Serum (From Good Molecules)
Niacinamide Serum (From Good Molecules)
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Black Girl Sunscreen
Night:
Softymo Cleansing Oil
CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser
Hyaluronic Serum
Niacinamide Serum
CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol
CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion
What are your thoughts ?
I would suggest skipping the moisturizer, the other products should provide enough hydration. From my experience, it can be too heavy, even for normal skin types, and may contribute to more closed comedones. But apart from that, it looks good. 🙃
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Oh okay, great. Thank you so much !
Hi , I am new to your channel and recently to skincare . I have enjoyed your tutorial videos and wanted to ask what ceraVe cleanser you recommend for combination skin? I have dry cheeks and forehead , normal to oily t zone and around the mouth. Started using retinol recently but only every 2-3 days and have had small breakouts on the cheeks from it. But confusing because it's combination skin . Love your videos so far , Thank you
Hello!
I suggest using either the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser or the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, which is also available in a fragrance-free version. Both options should work well for your needs.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you , I will try that one . I had tried for a very short time also the hydrating cream to foam cleanser which has been okay but I'll get the one you recommended and compare
Yes, it's also not a bad option, and some people seem to like the new CeraVe - Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser. That could be another option for you. However, overall, you have to find the formulation that suits your needs. What you enjoy using also plays a significant role, as preferences can vary greatly from person to person.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hi , thank you. I'll be sure to send an update!
@@sharanramkorun9143
is it fine if i just use the cleanser in the morning and night without another cleanser and is it okay if i dont use sunscreen with it
yes, you can.
Thanks a bunch for this video. Can I double cleanse with this and do I need wait 2 - 3minutes before rinsing off the cleanser to treat my acne?
Hmm... I wouldn't, as it can make your skin pretty dry over time. Unless you have really oily skin. No, there is no need to leave it on the skin. Rinse it off immediately after massaging it all over your face and/or neck.
Why do you want to double cleanse with it? I suggest using a balm or mild hydrating foaming cleanser at first and then following with your SA cleanser - if you need to do the double cleanse.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Your reply was swift! Wow! Thanks a lot for that♥️
I have a combination acne-pro skin. I double cleanse for its benefits, to properly remove the sunscreen, although it's chemical sunscreen. I heard that double cleansing will help with my acne breakout.
Can't thank you enough for the recommendation and enlightenment. I am enlightened and will follow your recommendation.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
One more thing please? Do I still need to exfoliate once in a week with the ordinary AHA 30%+BHA 2% peeling solution if I cleanse twice daily with this Cerave SA smoothing cleanser? Please enlighten me.
@@geebreel2001 Hmm....this depends on how well the SA cleanser works on your skin. If your skin reacts positive to it, then it may not be needed :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Alright, I will act accordingly. Thank you so much
Is this good for oily and acne prone skin that lives in a tropical country?
It could, yes. However, you could also use a mild foaming cleanser to wash your face, pat dry, and that's it. Focus on your sleeping habits, stress, and diet instead, as your acne likely comes from the inside. In my case, my acne seems to be heavily related to what I eat.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial okay thank you Melissa for replying i appreciate it.
Those handcuffs you have are GENIUS !! Any idea of the actual name? The water always runs down to my top or onto the floor 😂
Yes, those are great! I bought them with the headband on Amazon and it is called 'Spa Set'.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much I wasn’t expecting a reply! 🙏💎⭐️❤️Can’t wait to try them😊

Hey Melissa :))
Thank you for your videos.
I’ve recently started my skincare routine and I’m a bit desperate… My main goal was to nourish my skin and minimise my dark clogged pores on my nose and forehead. My skin is pretty sensitive on my cheeks and I tend to have some dry patches in winter…
So i guess I have combination skin type?! :-)
I bought this cleanser 2 weeks ago and after my first use I had some red patches on my cheeks which burned a little.. I kept on using it and it got better :-) Some nights I used the Cerave Oil to foam cleanser. Butttt I noticed a lot of red pimples on my forehead and even on my nose. They get red after cleansing and the area seems a tiny bit swollen?
I also bought the Cerave Moisturising Lotion for dry to very dry skin. If I’ll apply it to my face after using the cleanser it burns soo much I have to wash it off.
My old cream seems to work fine.
I’m wondering If I should stop using these products or if they are giving me hints about what’s wrong?
I’ve read something about purging - maybe that’s what’s causing the breakouts…?
I also wanted to add the SKIN1004 Centella sun scream to my routine, as well as the CORXS BHA Power Liquid. I’m also thinking about buying the cerave retinol serum.
Sooo - if anyone can help me I’d greatly appreciate it ☺️🙏🏼✨
It's certainly possible that the cleanser is making your skin more sensitive due to its salicylic acid content or another ingredient in it. To determine the cause, you could try another formulation with salicylic acid to see if you have the same reaction. However, if you find it doesn't suit your skin, it might be best to discontinue use. I can't pinpoint the exact issue as there are many potential culprits.
You might consider trying the CeraVe Oil to Foam Cleanser to see if there's any improvement. If it helps, you could then use it in combination with the lotion. Alternatively, you could revert to your old cleanser and then reintroduce the lotion, giving your skin a few days to adjust. There are several options, and it might take some experimentation.
Furthermore, if your skin is already sensitive, adding the BHA power liquid could exacerbate the issue. I recommend returning to your previous regimen for a few days. Once your skin stabilizes, introduce products one by one, using each consistently for a few days to pinpoint any potential irritants.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Dear Melissa, thank you for your detailed response. I stopped using both products and my skin has cleared up! :-) I got pretty bad pimples on my forehead while using them… I checked both Cerave products (the lotion burned pretty badly) and another serum I can’t use due to occurring redness etc. They all contain hyaluronic acid… Seems like I’m allergic to HA? They also all contain Phenoxyethanol, but since it’s a commonly used preservative in cosmetics I think I would’ve found out sooner…
Do you know about any good cleansers that don’t contain HA? :-)
And a retinol serum without these ingredients? I’d greatly appreciate your help 😅 I’m a bit lost.
@@anna-bj3rf Glad to hear that! Yes, Phenoxyethanol is a controversial ingredient. I'm currently investigating preservatives that might trigger my acne, not just in skincare products but also in food. Everything I've researched indicates they can indeed be problematic. If used in high amounts, it could also pose an issue - I'm really not certain. It's quite intriguing!
I'm skeptical that you're sensitive to Hyaluronic Acid. However, it's plausible, especially if used in higher concentrations. After all, each person's skin has its unique sensitivities, or they can develop over time. Still, I lean toward preservatives being the primary culprits.
I'm fond of the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser, and my favorite retinol formulation is the Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream. I showcase it in many of my videos! 🤪
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Thank you!! Yeah, after checking the ingredients again and the order in which they’re listet, I as well came to the conclusion that Phenoxyethanol might be the issue… :')
It’s crazy because I’ve used multiple products, not regularly but often enough to experience an irritation but Cerave made it happen 😂
The products all contain more Phenoxyethanol than HA so you could be right! And it’s great that you’re taking care of your skin an well-being and pay attention to your body’s signals..

Why didn't cerave itself say that this product is for all skin types?
I believe this is primarily done for marketing purposes in order to target a specific range of customers.
hey melissa, i have bought and used this product for the first time today. after washing it off my face it got super red and started to burn and applying cream only made it worse. should i stop using it or continue?
Hey! 😊
Is this the first time you're using a Salicylic Acid product? If so, I recommend giving your skin a break and then trying it again, but on a smaller area, to see if the same thing happens. You may be reacting to Salicylic Acid or another ingredient in the formulation. If that's the case, I recommend stopping its use.
@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i used it again and it worked and didn't irritate my skin! i figured out that it got red and sensitive because i did not wet the face and rubbed it on my skin too hard. i really hope this product is going to help with my impurities and i will update any changes. thank you!
@@emi726 That's great to hear. Yes, just follow the application as demonstrated in the video ;)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi again, so the product works quite nice for me and the texture on my forehead has gotten smaller and less visible. but what am i supposed to do if it dries out my skin? should i use a moisturiser right after? i wear makeup and of course i moisturise before applying my foundation. i did everything like i would normally do but a few minutes after moisturising and applying my foundation my skin got dry and flaky again. i am currently using the cleanser only in the evening and i am not moisturising after, do you think that would help? also i use the cleanser with cold or lukewarm water so that can't be the reason.
That's great to hear! The cleanser may make your skin a bit drier. You can follow it with a moisturizer in the AM and/or PM based on your preference. Alternatively, you can use the cleanser 3-4 times a week instead of daily.
can you make a video faded topical cream
it is not available here.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oh sorry thank you for reply🙂
Hi
I use sa smoothing cleanser everyday twice for a week, now i feel like my skin is burning ,dryness and irritation 😢
What should i do now!? And how i used?
Hey! 😊
What else do you use?
Give your skin a break and use it less often. You can alternate between your SA cleanser and a non-exfoliating acid foaming cleanser like CeraVe Foaming Cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialI’m in the beginning and started with it, I’m not using anything else.
What do i need to use with it?
@@sumaiyafathil2208 Okay, I just wanted to make sure that you aren't using anything else that could potentially cause such a reaction. As mentioned above, give your skin a break and use it less often. Get CeraVe Foaming Cleanser and then alternate between that one and your SA cleanser. You may also want to add a lightweight gel-type moisturizer like The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial But my skin is dry, When I wake-up in the morning my face not oily at all.
Can i use cerave hydrating cleanser instead of foaming cleanser, and other moisturizer instead of you mentioned above?
@@sumaiyafathil2208 Yes, that's fine. Or use an oil or balm cleanser instead; like the ones from Beauty of Joseon.
Can I use it everyday in night??
it depends on your personal skin tolerance.
I'm using this Brand.. into two. day I have small tiny bump. in my forehead... now I'm scary.
Why do you use this cleanser? Is it the first time you're using a Salicylic Acid-based product?
