Good day!
I'm from the Philippines, the ordinary was introduced by my sister in law. I use the same product as well as I do the routine you did in this video. Its been like 1yr and how many months since I used the product. It really helped my skin look brighter and less breakouts also it even makes the scar look less visible. ☺️
Thank you for this information and the video about fake and what not differences help me a lot in comparing.It really is difficult to buy an original product. ☺️
Thanks for sharing!🥰 I'm glad that the products have worked so well for you😊
Thank you😊 will use mine together now..

Same! Lol
I use these 2 for my evening routine... I have problems with acne on my forehead and these 2 are amazing!!! My face is getting better... thank you Melissa ❤️❤️❤️
🙂
just purchased those two exact products and i saw many opinions over laying glycholic acid and niacinamide together and honestly very confused as i thought i could layer them in the same routine :( then i saw your video and really what a lifesaver, thank you for all the information you shared they really helped !!
Well, yes, it's safe to do so. Not sure why they are telling this, but I saw that too, and that's why I recorded the video. You can look at the facts if you like: (well it's a lot to read but incredibly helpful 😀)

U r best man thanks
Hi Melissa, Im glad I found your page, can you help me how to layer toner,hyaluronic acid,The argeline,The Matryx,AHA/BHA and niacinamide?
See here: czcams.com/users/shortsRGqwdAuPOco?feature=shared - Also, avoid using the peptide serums with your exfoliant in the same routine.
Hi there! Your videos are so helpful, I’ve been getting more and more into skincare and these describe everything great! I have a question, I got both the glycolic acid toner and the lactic acid 10% + HA (both the Ordinary brand), should I rotate between them nightly/every couple of days, or just stick to one?
Hey! :)
Both are exfoliating acids. You may just want to stick to one for a while before switching or alternating with the other. This way, you can see which one your skin prefers most and what works the best for you.
I recommend starting with using it 2-3 times per week for some time before increasing its frequency.
I am glad that I found this video. I concluded that I shouldn’t be using glycolic on my skin... I have acne prone - blackhead skin and I have a tingling and uncomfortable burning sensation after I use it. Are there any other toners I can try?
The Glycolic Acid is an exfoliator. It's very confusing even though they say toning solution. You can try Lactic Acid 5% or Salicylic Acid(in case you have oily skin)
I also recommend reading these articles:

Hello Melissa, greetings from Indonesia. I've been watching your videos this recent week. I like them so much beacuse they're straight to the point. Your contents about The Ordinary are really helpful since I start using the product myself. I was wondering if you can demonstrate how to use Salicylic Acid serum because I only trust your technique of application and the advice from The Ordinary's ambassadors. Thanks a lot 😄💗
Hello Nurannisa, thank you so much for your lovely comment. And I am glad that my content can help you.
Sadly I can't show you how to use the Salicylic Acid serum because it isn't available in my country, I already tried to get the old version of it, but it's sold out everywhere. The good news is that I will do it once it is available. But I am not sure when this will be 😞
What products do you have?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oh my God that's very nice of you to reply my comment! I just start using niacinamide for about two weeks now, and I'm following your technique of application. I'd like to try the salicylic acid one because I have oily and acne prone skin so I think the product would be a great combination with niacinamide. The reason why it's not available because the product is under new development, I just checked the Deciem website
@@nnayaf And what are your results?
Yes, 😞 But what you can do is looking for an alternative, you may wish to buy a cleanser with Salicylic Acid in it.
What I would recommend is using the Salicylic Mask twice a week. And probably wait until the solution it's back in stock. Or you need to buy the one from Paula's Choice, but that's just crazy expensive, and I think it's not worth it. But I would rather wait until the Ordinary Salicylic Acid Solution is back in stock, and like I said, to use the mask as an alternative.
But in case you want to buy it it's this one: www.paulaschoice.com/clear-regular-strength-anti-redness-exfoliating-solution-with-2pct-salicylic-acid/620.html

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial the results are pretty amazing, I can see improvement on my skin after using niacinamide. Salicylic Acid Mask sounds tempting, I'll try it soon. Thank you for the suggestion, Melissa! 😄
Thank youuuu!!
Hey, I love your reviews! I got a question, can I use the niacinamide as a serum? If not, can I used it before applying the serum?
Hello 😀 The Niacinamide is a serum, so you can use it as a serum.
Can I use these in the following order:
Face cleanser (Purity)
Toner (Ordinary Glycolic Toner)
Niacinamide (Ordinary)
Aveeno Clear Complexion Moisturizer (contains salicylic acid)
I have rosacea/red prone skin and a propensity for nose blackheads and the occasional deep forehead pimple.
Yes, that's fine!
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.
It’s fine to use both types of exfoliants (AHA and BHA) as part of your skin care routine - you can use them at the same time, alternate days of usage, or use one in the morning and one at night, depending on your preference.
Hi. I love this video! Im having a pimple breakout right now, is it ok to use this this toner and serum even though im having an active breakouts? Im hoping that this would help my face.
It is not meant for pimples. But it can help, and yes, it is okay to use when having active breakouts; it may just sting a little 😉
really helpful video! i was wondering, could i use The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid with these two products?
Yes, you can. Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar :)

Hey Melissa,
Absolutely in love with your personality and love how helpful you are.
Can i use pixi glow tonic and Niacinamide together?
Hello Tasmima :) Thank you. Yes, you can use those together. Some people may experience temporary flushing(redness) while doing so, but this is not harmful :)
Hi! Thank you for sharing all the info about these amazing products! I wanted to ask you if its okay to use Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and the Ascorbic acid 8% + Alpha arbutin 2% at the same time?
I'm glad that I could help😊
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% cannot be used alongside any pure or ethylated forms of Vitamin C.
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% can only be used alongside Vitamin C derivatives:
- Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%
- Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10%
The Ascorbic acid 8% + Alpha arbutin 2% should not be used in the same routine when using Niacinamide. Please use one of them in the AM and the other one in the PM😊
Melissa Van Dijk thank you so much for your help!😌
I would be super interested in seeing your true skin care routine. Are their any products you love or ones you didn’t like ?
🙃 It's one CZcams, and I am uploading it daily. So that's my routine..🤪 The products that I show on a daily base are the once that I am using. So it changes every day. 😞
Also, I prerecord the videos, so the video from today was recorded two days ago. ;)
But I can talk about my favorites soon, yes, definitely a good idea. There is so much to cover... 🙈
Thank you
Hi mate, you’re absolutely gorgeous and I’ve a small doubt can i use the ordinary natural moisturiser +HA after applying glycolic acid and niacinamide?
Hey 😀 Thank you. Yes, you can use it after. Here are the steps that you need to follow:
Cleanser
Glycolic Acid (Water-Based Serum, Exfoliant)
Niacinamide (Water-Based Serum)
Moisturizer (Cream)
Steps:
Cleanser
Toner
Exfoliant
Serums (1.Water Based, 2. Anhydrous Solution, 3.Oil)
Moisturizer&Suspension
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). And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
It’s recommended using no more than 3 serum formulations in a single routine for optimal skin penetration.
About 2-3 drops of each serum and 1 pea-sized amount of creams should be enough for the full face and neck.
Use a "patting" application method, as opposed to "rubbing."
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!
Its my first time to use the glycolic acid 7% hopefully it will work for me. As i am already using ordinary the niacinamide for my daily routine and the buffet peptide i use it when Im using my Mesotheraphy electroporation RF skin rejuvenating device.
Hey! :)
Please do not use Glycolic Acid and Buffet + Copper Peptides in the same routine, keep them separate. Buffet + Copper Peptides (and all the other Ordinary Peptide serums) conflict with AHA and BHA (exfoliating acids) and Vitamin C.
So you can use Buffet + Copper Peptides and Niacinamide in the same routine and/or Glycolic Acid and Niacinamide.
Your hair style 😚♾
Very usefull vidio melissa
Glad it was helpful!🙂
Hai Melissa thanks for posting this. Just wanted to ask if it is alright to use the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution and the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% solution in the same routine
Hey, yes you can😊 but before you're doing this:
If you wish to incorporate multiple Vitamin C's, Retinoids, and/or Direct Acids into your skincare regimen, it's suggested using them on alternate evenings and waiting until your skin has adjusted to one before introducing another.
Hello I love your video!!
Can I use glycolic acid with retinol 0.2% in sqalane, niacinamide and hyaluraunic acid in the same routine in the evening?
Thank you in advance!!
t's low strength, so there shouldn't be an issue. But be careful when using higher strength of Retinol. If you do so, either keep Glycolic Acid and Retinol separate or use Granactive Retinoid 2% or 5% since otherwise, it may irritate your skin.
Thank u its very helpfull for me how to use this products
🥰
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial now i putt on my face this product.but i feel little bitt itching and littlt small small pimples coming on my face .so it means this product not for my face .i should use this product or not plz guide me dear
@@kaurqueen731 It's likely too strong. You can use it on your body instead. What are your skin concerns?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok thank u dear
❤️💋great video, thank you🙏🏻 do you think this combination can help with blackneads and pimples?🙏🏻im having this problem with my skin and im really hoping this can help😩
Blackheads are a bit tricky to get rid of. Usually, Retinol and/or Salicylic Acid can help to reduce them. However, they sometimes need to get extracted with a tool, and then you can maintain it with skincare products.
Thanks dr ❤️🇴🇲
Hii thank you so much for your amazing content 💕
I wanted to ask if its possible using the vitamin C after applying the toning solution?
Yes, however, if you are new to both products. You may want to use them at alternate times/routines for a while before using them in the same routine. This way your skin has time to adjust to them.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ah okey ill do it that way thank you so much🙏🏽💕
Thank you for this information!! this is the exact combination of TO products I want to start using plus add Marula oil at the end, but would it be okay to cleanse my face with a soap that’s 10% sulfur and 3%Salicylic Acid or would these react badly with each other?
Not necessarily. But since you are adding another 7% Glycolic Acid to your skin and you leave it on the skin, it can be a bit harsh.
Try it, wait a few days 3-4 until you see your skin's reaction, and see if irritation occurs, if not try using it more often. That's the best way on how you can figure it out. It may work if you have an oily skin type.
Melissa Van Dijk Thanks so much❤️❤️❤️ you’re advice is extremely helpful!!
Your* smh😭
Hey, can I use The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Rose Hip Seed Oil in the same PM routine? Amazing content btw 😊
Yes, you can use them in that order. Alternatively, applying hyaluronic acid before niacinamide is also an option.
Hi Melissa! 1)Which "strong acids" should not be used in the same routine with glycolic acid Toning?
2)Can I use the rest of acids from the ordinary with this Toning?
Thanks Thanks ☺️

Thank you for sharing us this video and this information 😍😍
Can i use the Argireline solution 10% in the same day ? Or at the same routine ?
You can use it during the same day but not after Glycolic Acid. So it would help if you kept them separate.
Hi! I was wondering if I should wait after applying the toner (30 min ish) before using the serum to avoid any conflict with the niacinamide as my skin is very sensitive (I've just finished taking accutane!). Thank you, I loved the video!
The issues are that it can react with Niacinamide. But this only leads to redness or can make it less effective in some cases. But nothing to really worry about if you use it properly. So you can apply the products right after another just wait 30second to a minute or whatever you usually do ;)
I am more worried about Accutane do you have dry skin, and what did your doctor say?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I have combination skin but it's quite sensitive. However, the treatment went great, I do not have acne anymore but I still have some dark spots caused by pimples, that's why I wanted to give these two products a try. I'll patch test before using them everyday though! Thanks for answering 😊🙏
@@carmenmp7884 Well yes, so it shouldn't be an issue for you 🙂
Hello! Your videos are great :) I bought those products recently along with the Caffeine solution to reduce dark circles around the eyes.
Do you think it would be too much for this night routine? :)
No that should work. Just make sure to not overdo it with Glycolic Acid :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much for your reactivity ☺️☺️
I don't know if you have covered that topic in one of your videos, but would you have any recommandation for sun protection for the face? I have used one for a couple of days but it makes my skin look extra greasy. 😬 Could you tell me which one you use on a daily basis ?
Yes, I recommend using Nivea Sensitive SPF 50+ or Anessa Milk sunscreen :) Generally, you need to test a few and see which one you like most; it is very individual :)
Hi Melissa! Short question about this serum, can I actually use Niacinamide with any skincare product that contains vitamin C? I mean to use the TO Niacinamide together with Some By Mi Yuja Niacin series in the same routine. Reading a lot of articles confuses me, I choose to follow your suggestion since I personally love your videos as well. :)
Haha, yes, that's normal; there is so much information, and it's difficult to blend out the noise.
You should not use Niacinamide with pure forms of Vitamin C. So, to determine this, you have to look at the type of Vitamin C that's in the product. Which is sometimes very difficult, since most products do not include the % and the exact formulation or name of the ingredients etc.
Do you mean this serum? (www.amazon.de/Some-Mi-Niacin-Blemish-Brightening/dp/B07YFT3XTN) If so the product already contains Niacinamide so it is fine to use.
Here is a video if you want to know which Vitamin C products from the Ordinary can be used in the same routine as Niacinamide.

Melissa Van Dijk You are so cool! So helpful and educational, thank youu :)
Melissa Van Dijk 💕
Liked the way u explain. Just want to ask after ordinary glycolic solution and niacinamide can we also use ordinary retinol 1% in squanale
You can; however, it may be too much depending on your skin type and needs. I only recommend it when you have acne scars or PIH. But always patch test and see how your skin tolerates it. Also, I recommend using a good moisturizer along with the 1% Retinol to avoid dryness and skin irritation. Always patch test before applying it all over your face :)
Thank you for the video. Can i use pixi glycolic acid toner with the ordinary niacinamide serum in same routine?
Yes, that's fine :)
I always watch your videos. Please answer me. Does niacinamide really makes the glycolic acid toner less effective because it will rise th pH level of the glycolic acid?
No, that's nonsense. The vast majority of rinse-off and leave-on skincare products are already pH-balanced, which does not affect the outcomes. They stay within that range, and it does not matter.
I assume that this comes from very old research, but I am not sure. Do you have any links/videos where people are talking about this topic and where they mention any sources, etc.?
Hey, I brought these and do them in this order:
Cerave SA cleanser
“Buffet”
niacinamide
hyaluronic acid
Moisture
I was also wondering if I can use glycolic acid toner, and salicylic acid that exfoliates in this routine. Also, what spf do you recommend?
Are you new to acids (AHA and BHA)?
If so, this is what I recommend:
If you want to incorporate leave-on exfoliators (other acids like AHA or BHA), I always recommend using a gentle/neutral cleanser that doesn't include those acids so that you can add a leave-on exfoliator in the routine without worrying it being too strong/harsh or over-exfoliating the skin.
And since you are already using the Cerave SA Cleanser which already includes Salicylic Acid (BHA), I do not recommend using another exfoliator.
However, if you are not new to those acids:
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.
It’s fine to use both types of exfoliants (AHA and BHA) as part of your skin care routine - you can use them at the same time, alternate days of usage, or use one in the morning and one at night, depending on your preference.
Currently, I'm really liking the La Roche Posay ANTHELIOS ULTRA-LIGHT INVISIBLE FLUID SPF30
Thank you! I am used to acids, I e been using them for quite a while, so I’m not new to them☺️. I have combination/ normal skin. And I also like to know it I’m using the products in the right order. Also thank you for the spf recommendation!!
i have dry, sensitive skin and i recently bought:
cerave hydrating cleanser (non foaming)
glycolic acid 7% toning solution
amino acids + b5
I’ve been using the glycolic acid once a day but in the morning however i’ve read that it’s safer to use it in the night. My skin has pretty much stayed the same but i fear that it’s gotten worse, i’ve got like really small bumps on my cheeks and a few on my forehead. Is the glycolic acid breaking me out? What ordinary products do you think i should buy or use as an alternative? Please let me know thank you :)
Basically i had these bumps before starting this skincare routine, it’s only been 5 days now
You are likely overusing the product. And if you use this product in the morning and leave the house and are exposed to the sun, you should use sunscreen. Otherwise, it may harm your skin. (it mentions it on the back of the packaging)
My recommendation would be not to use Glycolic Acid for 1-2 weeks, and after that, start with 2-3 times a week and see how your skin reacts.
How Often and When to Use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution With Examples:
czcams.com/video/0s_XPFywMzQ/video.html
I have a question, I’m a teen and I have dry and fairly sensitive skin. I’ve got the toner and whenever I put it on my skin stings for like 20 minutes afterwards? Is this normal? Is my skin just not used to it? If my skin is just getting used to it should I dilute it slightly to start off or just use it less often? Thankyou ☺️
Have you experience the stinging feeling with any other skincare products that you've tried so far?
It could be that you're skin is still adjusting to it, however, I believe that you may have a sensitive/stinging skin type. When you use it and it stings, does your skin become red, hot, etc..?
Also, how often do you use it?
I don’t know if you knew it, but glycolic acid also shouldn’t be used with buffet or SubQ skin. The ordinary told me that when I asked them. :)
Thank you🤗 I know that it can't be used with Buffet but I haven't looked into Hylamide and its conflicts with the Ordinary products😊
Hello! Thank you for this video!Can you tell me please is spf 20 is enough after this toner?
It depends on what you do during the day. If you have a lot of sun exposure, then a higher SPF factor is always better. However, if you just spend brief periods outside, then SPF 20 or 30 is more than enough. Personally, I generally only use SPF 20 or 30, but it really depends a lot on your lifestyle. Therefore, you need to adjust accordingly.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much for the answer!🌸
Hello, thanks for the explanation. I bought a solution of glycolic acid 7%, Hayronlic acid, nai Zinc and Vitamin C from Oznatural. How can I organize my use of these products? Please 😔
As I mentioned in the other comment you have to try it. If it does not work use Glycolic Acid and Vitamin C at alternate times. For example Vitamin C in the morning and the glycolic acid in the evening.
Hi Melissa, is this routine okay? AM
- Cleanser
- Glycolic acid (2 or 3 times per week)
- Niacinamide
- SPF
PM
- Cleanser
- Hyaluronic acid
- Retinol (2 or 3 times per week)
Yes, that looks good. I suggest not using the retinol on the same day as the acid for an even gentler option :)
Can I use the glycolic acid toner with Paul’s choice BHA exfoliant and in what order?? Also what treatment would you recommend for cheek acne and redness

As for your acne, have a look at Niacinamide (if those are only blemishes) or a Benzoyl Peroxide Cream/Gel.
For your redness, Azelaic Acid and/or Backuiol.
Thank you sis for the video, actually have not started using any chemical products but i have acne, oily face, black spot and pores, so don't know which one to start with. Pls, can you enlighten me.
Have a look at a Salicylic Acid exfoliant :)
I have oily skin, can i use this this since I've already bought it ? oh and my glycolic acid looks a bit yellowish not link like yours is that normal?
You can yes. That's normal see here: theordinary.deciem.com/product/rdn-glycolic-acid-7pct-toning-solution-240ml
Can I use these the same day I use the peeling solution? Also great video < 3
Hello 😀 No ,please avoid any other acids when using the peeling solution.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you so much 😘
hi this is the routine that i’m just starting:
- micellar water (if there’s makeup)
- cerave sa cleanser
- ordinary glycolic acid toner / lactic acid 10% (alternating days)
- niacinamide 10%
- cerave lotion
is this okay?
I recommend using a gentle cleanser (without Salicylic Acid or other exfoliating acids) when using Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid to avoid irritation.
The rest of the routine looks great! :)
hello! thank you for this video, can i use hyaluranic acid too? my daily (day and night) skin care routine includes the cleanser, hyaluronic, niacinamide, moisturizer and SPF, but i want to start using the Glycolic, should i do it after the cleanser and the the same rountine as always? or should i skipp one product, idk how to layer them, and i also would like to use the alzelaic too but first one Glycoliic and then i´ll seev how it goes. Help!!
Yes, you can. Well, technically you can add it after cleanser. However, I had had a very similar routine when I started with The Ordinary a couple of years ago. And it causes me to breakout.
Therefore I recommend using only cleanser, glycolic acid and moisturizer. Wait a few days see how you go use it again, and add the other products if you need them.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank u!!!
Can I apply neutrogena hydro boost water gel as a moisturizer after application of these products?please Can you tell me.
Yes, that's fine😊
Hi Melissa! I really thank u for the video it's very helpful.I just begin to use niacinamide in the morning and Glycolic Acid in the evening for 20 days but i still have more pumples and that causes marks on my face. is it normal ?
If you use Glycolic Acid daily, it is likely too much for your skin to tolerate, which could lead to breakouts. To address this issue, I suggest reducing the frequency to 2-3 times per week. Additionally, before starting this new frequency, take a break from using both products for 2-3 days. This approach should help resolve the problem.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok thank you Melissa 😚
hi melissa! I have oily skin. Can I still use the toner? or will it give me some bad effects? thankyou!
You can try it, however, you may benefit more from a BHA (Salicylic Acid) exfoliant :)
Hello, I know this video was made a long time ago but I have a quick question please. Is it normal for one's skin to sting after using it? I have both the ordinary glycolic acid and the niacinamide serum and my skin stings and becomes hot for like 10 mins after using them. Should I be worried or is this a part of the adjusting period?
Hey :)
Well, if you are new to an exfoliant like Glycolic Acid. It can sting.
If you have sensitive skin or a broken skin barrier, an acid like Glycolic Acid can sting - irritates the skin. Or if you are new to it, your skin needs a bit of time to adjust to it, and it will go away eventually.
For how long have you been using it? And how often do you use it?
You either can use Glycolic less often or try and mix it with your moisturiser so that your skin can get used to it :)
Hello Melissa, can u tell me if i can use Hyaluronic with glycolic and niacinamide ? If yes, should i apply niacinamide or Hyaluronic first after glycolic toner?
Yes, that's fine😊
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).
Please do a patch-test (upper forearm) of all of them before using them on your face😊
Hi can I use these products with alpha arbutin, niacinamide,buffet and sunscreen in the morning ?
Thank you 😊 💕
You can use Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide, Buffet and Sunscreen in the morning. However, you would need to use Glycolic Acid in the evening as it conflicts with Buffet.
hi melissa! greetings from the philippines ♡ btw I need your help, am I doing my routine right?
AM
• COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
• Niacinamide Serum
• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen
PM
• COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
• TO Glycolic Acid Toner
• Moisturizer
should I add niacinamide serum in the PM after the toner or not? thanks for the help!! xx
Hey :)
The routine looks great!
If you are new to Niacinamide I recommend using it once per day (AM) for a while and see how your skin respond to it before using it maybe AM and PM :)
Also, if you are new to TO Glycolic Acid. Use it 2-3 times per week and see how your skin tolerates it before using it more often :)
Niacinamide and Glycolic Acid can be used in the same routine :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialthank you so much for the help!! very much appreciated, more powers to your channel ♡
Melli, can we use Niacinamide 100% powder mixed with Hyaluronic Acid + glycolic acid 7%?? Thank you so much.
Hello :) AH yes, I see that's a bit confusing :)
Yes, the only thing that you can't do is mix Niacinamide 100% powder with Glycolic acid 7%. But you are fine to use the mix and apply it after the Glycolic Acid :)
Skincare routine:
Cerave foaming facial cleanser
The ordinary niacinamide serum
Cerave daily moisturizer
Neutrogena sunscreen
And I was hoping to add this product in. I have an oily nose and the rest of my face is normal so do you have any tips for improving my skincare routine??
I want to get rid of scarring I have and I have really bad under eye bags that I wanna improve too
Yeah, you can add Glycolic acid to your routine.
For scars, it depends on the scars as this is always a trickier part to see improvements as there are different treatments that may or may not work for you....Have a look at Retinoid/Retinol and combine it with Glycolic Acid.
For under eye bags, I'm not sure what will work as I don't have bags myself🤷🏼♀️
AHAs are also recommended for oily skin, blackheads and large pores...
No, they are not. They only work on the surface of the skin, so they will not be very effective for controlling oiliness or reducing the appearance of enlarged pores unless there is a significant buildup of dead skin cells. Unfortunately, they are also not effective for blackheads that are already present since they cannot penetrate deeply enough to have an impact. However, it should be noted that there is no proper testing available to confirm their effectiveness in this regard.
Hi Melissa, is it ok to use Eva natural skin clearing serum Vitamin C+ because it has 6 ingredients it help all skin types and it has Niacinamide 3.5%. Is ok to use Niacinamide from the ordinary with it.
I can't find the product on Google. Do you have a link 🤔?
hi. im using a Aveeno salicylic acid and i just want to ask if i can use niacinamide after i used the salicylic acid facial cleanser?? thankyou.
Yes you can :)
Hey so the products I have are the ordinary glycolic acid toner, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid and a gel moisturizer and also cerave healing ointment please which products should I not use when I’m using the glycolic acid toner?
You can use them all with Glycolic Acid :)
Hi!
I just bought these two among with marine hyaluronics (the ordinary) and Paula's choice bha 2% liquid exfoliant for my oily/combo skin. Can you please tell me what products should I avoid using together and when is the best time to use them? P.S. I am not a complete beginner to acids, I used them in the past but not recently. :)
Hello, well, this isn't easy since I don't know the products that you have at home. But I recommend watching this video that I have recorded recently. If you still have any questions after watching it, I can help you :)

thank you so much for the video !! So much help❤️. Could i wash my face with PanOxyl 10% wash/or the 4% while including these in my routine?
Hey, not sure about this. It may be very strong. Ultimately you have to test it but it may be best to alternate.
Hi, if I use these in the evening, can I use vitamic c in the morning? I have the La Roche-Posay one.
Yes, that's okay.

Hi can i use vitamin C in the AM and niacinamide in the PM ?? THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS
yes
Hi! Can I ask if it’s ok that my skin care routine is Makeup remover, Cleanser, Glycolic Acid 7% toner, Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%, Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA, Coffeine Solution 5% EGCG, Moisturizer and Sunscreen
However, you can do that; I recommend applying the caffeine solution after glycolic acid but before Niacinamide. Also, I highly recommend the following video:

Hello! Thank you for the vid, i wanted to ask you, is it normal if after applying the glycolic acid toner then the niacinamide serum, there is a bit of foam in my skin until i finished applying it? I was wondering if it was my cleanser but i dont think so... it makes me worried a little that mixing both of them create a foam :/ it does not when i apply the niacinamide alone
Yes, all the Ordinary serums do foam. I assume that you rub them into the skin? But anyway, that's normal, and it's just air that goes under it:=)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oh well, good to know! hmm I apply the serum like a moisturizer by doing circles on my skin, is that not good ? ahah thank you for the answer and the vid links, can I ask you if there is no problem with the glycolic acid toner and my skin if it stings on my face for about 5-10min (a little bit red but not that much)? it's my first time using this acid and I use it every 2days for now :o
It's not wrong to apply it like this, but I recommend patting it into the skin (especially with the Ordinary Water-Based Serums) to avoid the foam and pilling which may can happen as well when rubbing it into the skin.
Glycolic Acid may be a bit too strong for your skin which can cause sensitivity like redness, burning and/or stinging. You either need to build up skin tolerance which means that your skin needs time to adjust to it and use it 2-3 times per week for a while before using it more often. Or you can use an Acid like Mandelic Acid 10% which is very gentle and exfoliates the skin at the same time.
Hello can I use niacinamide, alpha aburtin 2% , and hyaluronic acid in the same routine thanks . 😊
Yes, that's fine!
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).😊
Hi Melissa! I use jojoba oil and lavender oil on my skin at alternate nights. Is it okay if I use these oils after applying glycolic acid and niacinamide?
Hello Zarin, yes, it is okay to use those oils. However, if you have never used Glycolic Acid before, make sure to incorporate it slowly into your routine. And use it every other day during the first weeks to avoid skin irritation.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you! I'll follow this way!
hey melissa ... What is the best for skin glowing ? Pixi glow tonic or Ordinary glycolic acid tonic? Plz reply me..love from srilanka
Both are great, however I feel that pixi is more gentle, but it includes fragrance. But apart from that they show very similar results.
hello, can i use cerave foaming cleanser, the ordinary glycolic acid, the ordinary niacinamide +zinc and the ordinary rosehip oil at the same time? is it good for my oily skin?
Hey :)
If you haven't bought the products yet, I recommend getting Argan Oil instead since that one can help to regulate your sebum :)
But other than that, yes you can use them in the same routine :)
I wash my face with the effaclair of la roche posey and then I put the glycolid acid and niacinamide and cera ve moistaraizer but that makes my skin tickle and burn a little is it normal or should I stop using it
What La Roche Cleanser do you use? Also, how often do you use the Glycolic Acid? When does it burn on the skin after what product? Have you done a patch test before applying it to your face?😊
Hi, I'm your follower. I have pigmentation. Which ordinary product can I use for my face.
Hey! :)
What kind of hyperpigmentation do you have?
Hello please enlighten me . Dermatologist says that AHA such as glycolic acid is not good to mix with niacinamide because they have different PHs levels that could lead to skin irritation .
What kind of dermatologists say that? 🤔
Hi, Melissa! I want to ask if this would be the right way to use my products. I have little bumps on my forehead, acne scars and acne which is not severe.
In the evening
- cleanser
- The Ordinary glycolic acid toner
- moisturizer
In the morning
- wash my face only with water
- The Ordinary niacinamide
- moisturizer
- and/ or only spf instead of a moisturizer
I have one more question...is it okay, after my skin is used to acids, to incorporate lactic acid in my routine and of your answer is yes, how can I do that
Hello 😃
Glycolic Acid isn't great for acne as it only exfoliates the skin surface; the same goes for Lactic Acid. If you want to improve it, you need a Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide product.
In the evening
- cleanser Benzoyl Peroxide (on the affected areas)
- The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2%
- moisturizer
In the morning
- wash my face only with water
- The Ordinary niacinamide
- moisturizer
- and/ or only SPF instead of a moisturizer
