How Long Does it Take Skincare Products to Work? | Skincare with @Susan Yara

- čas přidán 13. 07. 2020
- A big mistake I see people make with their skincare routines is they give up on products way too soon. You need to give them time to work before you decide whether a product is for you or not. That’s why I put together these guidelines on how long different types of products take to work from cleanser, treatments & serums, moisturizers, and more.

Patience is key! Your skincare products aren’t supposed to work immediately. They take time and commitment to see results. Hope this video is helpful! ❤️
Absolutely! Took me several months to start seeing results from using retinol and vitamin C. Thankfully I found your channel when I did or I would have never took a chance on either one and would have gave up if I didn’t see immediate results. Thank you so much for giving us your knowledge 😘
Can you please do a naturium review? I know it was delayed due to what happened, but many of your followers would like to know more about tour brand and products. Love your content 💖💕💖
Would love to see you review some Stratia products. Love you Susan ❤️❤️❤️
@@angelmejia6116 agree! ❤️
Angel Mejia I second that!
You should definitely do a video on how to use products when you work night shift. What about on days you transition from days to nights (like for nurses you work three days a week so what about the days where you go from sleeping days to sleeping at night). When should you use what like retinol and vit c and oils. What about if you exercise too, like how does it change if you work out in the morning versus night. Should you cleanse if you know you're just going to shower in another hour or so?
Yes! Us nurses need some serious skincare help right now. The maskne is REAL. add hormonal acne, extra stress, wearing masks for up to 13 hours, and sweating.... I’m seriously struggling.
Omg this has been the question I have been wanting an answer to! I work at night and I sleep during the day, so that confuses me if it’s okay to use my night time products at night while at work and use my daytime products when I sleep during the day, or the other way around. I’m really hoping we get an answer on this, I currently use my night time products during the day before I sleep because for me that’s my “night”. 😩
You shouldn't actually be shifting to sleeping at night on your days off. That is not good sleep hygiene but I understand that's better said than done for parents of young children, especially for the mothers who usually take the bulk of the child-rearing.
Alexandra Key for real gurl I’ve been working such long hours the texture of my skin has literally changed
Yes! I’ve been really thinking about this lately. Luckily I think I got mine down. I keep retinol before my night shift and still do vit c in the morning when I get off
I have learned that to see results in skin for texture, acne, things like that ,you need to work from the inside too. You can buy all the products in the world, your diet effects how your skin looks too. Not saying you have to be strict, but cutting back on some bad things like sugar, alcohol,etc...and increasing water intake, fruits ,veggies and other healthy changes or additions make a world of difference.
Excellent point! ✅
Ra
I agree. I think it’s a combination of both. If you drink soda and use good products the soda may win. 🍑🙌🏻
No! Dang you people ask too much. I’m not changing up my diet bro. I should be able to eat what I want whenever I want.
I'm too poor to give up on a product and go straight to a new one lol.
Me too
This is too real! lol
I felt this 🤧
Lol same😂
That's GOOD because hence you can decide if it's good for you or not!
I think a lot of us would appreciate a video on hand creams, especially since we're washing our hands so often now. Just a suggestion!
Yess my hands are so dry
Yes please!! Maybe some wearable ones for the day and others for night
Yes! Especially as a nurse my hands are so dry!
❤❤❤
Jen luves reviews has a great one
First of all, I wish you well in your career and with Naturium! I am glad that you're back in business as usual. Remember Oprah said it wasn't her triumphs that made her who she is; it's her failures that built and strengthened her to what she is now.
I have been using tretinoin (Rx retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide since I was 14 or 15 (34 now), way before I even found out retinoids are being used for wrinkles lol, but I was told by my dermatologist even back then that my skin would become horrid for 2 to 3 months before becoming smooth. And sure enough, the worsening did happen but I knew it was going to improve and that it was essential to NOT STOP during this stage because it was actually the sign that it was working. She didn't even tell me about possibly decreasing the frequency and buffering with a moisturizer (I'm a guy and was a teenager, I had none lol) and none of that BS that I think will just prolong the agony. And after 3 months, my friends and classmates started complimenting my skin and wondering what I was using when I didn't even notice any difference. THAT is the pot of gold at the end of the arduous journey. So this thinking has stayed with me since then and so I have never had the immediate expectations most people who've never dealt with severe acne have with skincare products for treatment.
Wow I didn’t know Vitamin C could take 6 months to see a difference, I’ve been using your Naturium Vit C for about 2 months and I swear it has changed my skin already!💕 Can’t wait to try more
You should see a difference with a GOOD vitamin C within weeks. Just another perspective. 🙌🏻🍑
I've been using a whole new routine. And by i mean that never had a routine. Ever. In 46 years. In three weeks there's a drastic difference. Texture, bumps redness so much better. Maybe because I lived a trash face life before.
I've been using my serums and products for about 3 months. I'm just now seeing a difference. It's really great!
Omg same! My Primary care physician prescribed benzoyle peroxide the end of May, and I’m JUST now seeing results. I also switch between RETIN-A and the ordinarys lactic acid every night, plus I apply rosehip oil every night, and I’ve been seeing results recently
I love she talks about adjusting to products. I tell all of my clients that it takes at least 6-8 weeks to allow the skin to begin purging. Our skin changes every 28 days and it has a difficult time the older you get or if you are not treating it well. Foundation, sun and bad skin care.
When a product begins to works it pushes all of the junk out of your skin from the deepest layers. You may actually think it’s causing you to break out more in the beginning but it’s the skin doing it’s job, filtering and purging out the system.
Always give your products time to work. Skin care should be simple like water to your body all it needs is antioxidants and you should see slight changes immediately. Especially if your able to get a facial from a master esthetician. She can jump start your skins health.
Just another perspective.

In my late 20s I started getting melasma and really bad hormonal acne (the really painful kind), and although the acne has been manageable for the past 10 months or so, I had all the scars and hyperpigmentation to show for! I have spent thousands of $$ on different products and while some somewhat helped, I had never seen a DRASTIC change.... until I started using Naturium! And HOLY CRAP I’m seriously hooked!!! I have been using the Naturium face wash, Vitamin C super serum plus and retinol cream 2.5% for about 10 days now and have already seen MAJOR improvement in my skin tone and texture!! I haven’t been this excited and confident in my skin in a long time!! I just received the Niacinamide Serum and Hyaluronic Acid Essence in the mail today and am so excited to add them to my routine!!!!! 10000% recommend!!!
Right. Sure. Are we going to see another apology video of her getting friends and family exaggerating on the result time.
Dolsie Mercado lady it’s been weeks let it go already. Grow the f*#* up. People make mistakes and learn and grow from them. How long does the guilty police have to condemn this woman for?? GET A JOB.
Dolsie Mercado shut the hell up. what she did was pretty much insignificant compared to the other shit youtubers have done + the intent wasn’t malicious. if you’re still so concerned abt it you need help.
I really want to get the retinol 2.5 and the niacinamide serum! I’m almost out of my usual retinol and really want to try niacinamide.
Soldiers Mercado you can look at the reviews on Amazon, they speak for themselves...
This is a really important video for people who are starting new products in their skincare. I started using retinol in my skincare routine in January, and I am just now seeing what I would consider major results in my skin. It took time but it was SO worth the wait and I couldn't imagine not using it now. Even my husband commented on how amazing my skin has looked lately. Patience is virtue!
Yay! A new video 💕 Some videos I’d love to see from you soon: 1) a deep dive into what acids/actives you can and can’t mix (AHA’s, BHA’s, tranexamic acid, kojoic acid, retinol, etc.) and 2) a review of all the popular at home devices and tools including microneedling rollers, gua sha, NuFace, Ziip, Foreo UFO, Light Stim, cleansing tools, etc. Thank you, Susan 😊
absolutely! would love to see this as well, especially a deep dive in what to mix and what not to mix together.
It's 2am here in UK and I MUST watch this before I sleep 🤔🤔
Elei Villegas I feel you Elei, I feel you sis
Hey GMT sis 😂
susannnn im on my third week of naturium retinol and the purge is finally calming down... im seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. it was worth all the pimple patches
What was the reason you started? We’re you looking for specific improvement?
This is such a much needed video. It gets hard sometimes to be patient! Would love to see more of your reaction videos !!!
I bought Naturium before knowing it was your brand. I got the green cleanser for myself and the retinol cream for my bf and I. We love the retinol. He saw a slight difference in the texture of his skin within a week.
I love your products and will continue to buy.
Just back from work and this is the first thing that I see. Yaaayyy!!! So great to see you back Susan 💕
I'm glad this was posted. I think we live in such a society of instant gratification which includes skincare. This video is so timely especially on the heels of Fenty Skin coming out at the end of the month. Do not trust some of these influencers trying to post reviews after 2 days. A routine takes time, a solid review of a product and how it works for your skin takes time.
So helpful, thank you! The analogies about how much help your skin needs really helped.
Would love to see an updated dry skin routine!! Including masks and device treatments would be amazing! Also, can't wait to try your line! Just got my order in 😁💕
I'm glad to see you back and happy again! I have to say I started using the Naturium Vitamin C serum 22% and saw results within a week. My skin was so much more even toned and bright. I love it. Your line is fantastic. I didn't realize how desperate my skin was for Vitamin C. :)
Love this video, it really is about patience, and I need that reminder!
So educational Susan! Been using Naturium for a few weeks now and the results have been fantastic!
I’m so happy to hear that Cora!
Omg thank you! This is so important!
I just want to say I LOVE that nail polish colour. 💅🏼
I really enjoyed this video. I am guilty of being impatient with new products though I keep persisting! Thanks for your informative tips 😇
Just wanted to say love you Susan!
I second that!!❤️
Great Video Susan! Very helpful 🙂❤️
I needed this video I’ve been using products and I stop using after I run out so then I don’t really see a difference! I will for sure be more patient!😊😊
I have been using tretinoin (Rx retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide since I was 14 or 15 (34 now), way before I even found out retinoids are being used for wrinkles lol, but I was told by my dermatologist even back then that my skin would become horrid for 2 to 3 months before becoming smooth.

So this thnking has stayed with me since then and so I have never had the expectations most people who've never dealt with severe acne have with skincare products for treatment.
Really needed this video!! Thank You!!
I love these kinds of super informative videos!
Learned so much! Thanks for making this video
Such a great video. I'm have been trying to simplify my skin care routine and really create something solid. In my early 30s and dealing with acne. Missing having professional facials...they still cant be done in NYS. Using a vit c I'm the am and retiol in pm
I love your skin! Hope I can achieve clear skin as yours, I’m still on my journey.
Yas!! Need this video!!!
Your outfit is amazing! ❤
You look beauuuutyful in this video. Always love those fluffy tops that you wear. Love 💋
Thank You Susan! Loving
my Naturium products 😍
naturium has helped my skin so much.. thank you!!
I just purchased 8 products from NATURIUM! I trust your judgement and I know you won't create a bad product! I can't wait to try!! I've been following your guideance for a while! Thank you!!
Queen of skincare I got 6 of your product am loving the Retinol Serum and the
niacinamide cream
Super helpful as always!
Can you please do a video on the PH level in products?
Apparently some actives work better with a specific PH level, what does that mean for the order in which you apply your actives?
I just wanted to say I’m currently on acutane and I’ve been using your brands hyaluronic acid serum, peptide eye cream, and Squalene face oil, and oh my gosh my skin is saved. I’ve only been on acutane for 2 months but your products were the key to finally getting my dryness under control.
UGH if I would have had access to her products when I was on accutane! I’m jealous😂 you have the right products! for me I kept adding more and more lotion/cream to my face, when in reality, I needed a good hyaluronic acid with an oil over top
Great info! So important to understand change doesn’t happen overnight 💕
Super helpful! I’m always impatient and adding too many new products to my routine at once 😅 Trying to break that habit!
Thank you Susan!!
That’s a benefit from not sleeping, being earlyy!
Susan are you going back to making react videos? There's so much gtbwm videos recently by harper's bazaar =(
I love this video! Question: how does pH factor into skincare. Many specialist say that there is little research about ph levels and efficacy?
PH plays important role in the body. Every part of your body will have different pH values which align the role of that part. For example, stomach has pH about 2-3 to digest food and act as a barrier to fight against pathogen/ bacteria that we consume from outside environment. Same with the skin. The facial skin has pH around 5.5 (other part of your skin will have slightly different pH values). On the skin, it’s an ecosystem. You will also have good and bad microbiomes living in there. PH is one of the factors ensure the ratio if bad and good microbes is balanced. So if pH changes and other factors on your skin change, it could switch the equilibrium to more preferable for this species and less preferable for the others. Doesn’t matter which one is good or bad, what your body wants is a balance ratio, the increase in growth of any species will not be ideal! That’s only in term of the skin. In term of the skin care products, everything will works best at its designed pH. There are so many ingredients in a skincare products working based on the pH of environment. Surfactant is a great example. You can find surfactants in every skincare products such as makeup remover (oil, micelle, balm), cleansers, shampoo, conditioner, body cleanser, even toner, cream, serum. I believe I can find at least 1 surfactant in any skincare products. Also preservatives, and active ingredients such as acids. All of these ingredients will have their own pH values. If the pH environment is different (only about less or more than 1-2pH values), they will work differently from what they are expected to. They could be less effective and even causes irritation, burning, sensitivity because their chemical structures changes. I don’t know why many specialists said little research about this topic because this is huge! I can easily find many books, research, literature papers from my uni library talking about this topic. Also as this topic is not a “wow” brand new topic, most the cosmetic brands nowadays when they formulate the products, they have already tested if the pH of the products aligned with the specification values. Those values should be quite close to the skin, not more than 7. And also our skin has the ability to adjust its pH go back to the ideal one which is 5.5. Therefore, most the products are formulated and used at the predictive ranges to ensure they work at the best conditions.
PH is important from a formulation standpoint. Some actives become unstable, or inactive, outside of a certain PH range. So products with good formulation will take that into consideration and create a PH level within their product to create stability with the active ingredient.
I just started an AHA toner last week and have been wondering about how long I’ll start seeing real results. So this was perfect timing to see your video. Now I just need to do some research to see if I can use AHA on the same nights as a niacinamide serum.
Lindsey Stein you can use them together, I like using the aha toner by the ordinary with the in key list niacinamide.
Just did my evening skincare, using the Naturium Retinol cream. My skin feels amazing!
Is it the moisturizing retinol 2.5%? I can’t remember the exact name, but I’m thinking of getting that one. There are a few different kinds, so I’m having a hard time deciding.
Lindsey Stein I use the retinol cream version. I have oily skin but love the cream version at night. Feels really nice on the skin.
I started off using the Granactive Retinoid 2% from The Ordinary. I wasn't really seeing results. Then I switched to Retinol 0,5% in Squalane and when I first started I was using it under serums, moisturizer and even when I switched to using it only under moisturizer, I still felt that I was diluting it too much. So, I started using it on its own two nights in a row and I went through the acclimation period immediately, I experienced dryness and even peeling around my eyebrows and sides of my face but I started seeing results sooner. Now I've run out and I can't buy the Ordinary where I am without paying at least triple the normal price for it. So I bought the La Roche Posay Retinol after two months without any retinol products in my skincare routine and I am super excited to try it
So informative.. I appreciate it so much that u do this video
When you’re prescribed a retinoid (ex. tretinoin) for a specific purpose (ex. fighting acne), are you still getting other benefits that that product can provide (ex. anti-aging)? Or would you need to use a different type/formulation of retinol/retinoid to see anti-aging benefits?
Can you please do a naturium review? I know it was delayed due to what happened, but many of your followers would like to know more about tour brand and products. Love your content 💖💕💖
Thank you for this video. It's really useful.
I would love to see a video from you giving your recommendations for chemical exfoliators!!
Make a video of skincare for quarantine please! I’m always at home and I’m not sure what to use ( haz un video para cuidar la piel durante la cuarentena por favor! estoy todo el día en la casa y no estoy segura de que usar) saludos desde chile 🤗
Lol. Literally held my breath for a sec when she was about to talk about vitamic C products! Don’t get me wrong -I love Susan and I want to continue enjoying her content. If I’m not happy about anything, it’s that Naturium still doesn’t ship to Asia! ❤️❤️❤️
Why did you have to hold your breath? 😂
Maybe he expected her to push her own vitamin c products again while pretending it’s not hers and she just happened across them
Definitely. It took me 6 months, at least, to see a difference in my skin while using tretinoin. But it is worth the wait!
Been on glow recipe for 4 months and I love it ❤️
Kween!! Great skin doesn't happen overnight but I swear it does with Naturium! Thank you for saving my skin!
Susan could you please do a video talking about how we're supposed to choose skincare products when the weather changes? I've seen most people use different products during summer and winter but it's a struggle when choosing different products specially when a certain product has been working for you previously.
All of the things that she point out are so true. I've been using Tretinoin for 4 months now. The first 2 months is the worst for me. Purging, pimples, dull, dry, blackheads started to get so noticeable and the ugly stage. After about 3 months my skin started to calm down. I can use it now every night. Biggest advise is to be patient and step back when your skin trying to tell you something while on tretinoin. Also niacinamide and colloidal Oatmeal on skincare did help my skin a lot during the treatment as well as tamanu oil.
Naturium Vitamin C Super Serum is a game changer serum. I only use medical grade typically, but that product is an EXCEPTION 🙌🏼
I wish this would be available in Europe😥
this was such an informational video! never really thought about this topic before so I really enjoyed it. I have a question - what gives the naturium's vitamin C serum the yellow color? And can we tell that it's oxidized if it turns into a darker brown color like what you said in the video? Thanks Susan!
I think it's from the gold that encapsulates the vitamin c complex. Once it penetrates past the stratum corneum, the encapsulation dissolves over time so its efficacy and absorption is better since there's less time exposed to oxygen for it to oxidize, and your skin isn't overwhelmed by so much vitamin c at once so there's less reaction. That's the theory I think.
can you address treatments for divets in the skin (usually left behind from acne?) I haven't heard a lot from you on this and other skin texture issues!
Thank you this video! Would you please share your thoughts on Medical Grade products? Is there any MG product type that actually worth to invest in or OTC products could deliver same results?
The video that I didn't know I needed yet oh so did.
Just started a serious skincare routine and defiantly feel disappointed with the result. Vit C has done nothing, retinol has kind of made my skin worse. But now i'm going to tough it out and keep going. Fingers crossed I get the skin I want :)
can we please see videos on what susans opinion is on telomerase activator in skincare for antiaging, and peptides, and dna renewal for skin
I'm LOVING the niacinamide and vitamin c from Naturium ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Please do skincare routine for combination,sensitive and acne prone skincare routine
I would say 3 months.... I used niacinamide, retin a 0.05% , glycolic toner, lactic acid serum and aloevera as moisturizer.... in 3 months my skin literally completely changed...🙂❤
Any glicerin is good? Do I use it before a moisturizer or after?
Hi Susan! Thoughts on if moisturizer is a necessary step and if it makes our skin “lazy?” Seen a few videos of dr obagi talking about this and after doing some research I’m still not sure.
Can you do a video on your favorite exfoliants and chemical exfoliation?
I’ve never heard anyone mention the answer to my question.....I’m curious how long is the average time products are actively working when you apply?? Meaning if I apply vitamin c in the morning at what point is it no longer doing anything, 4-6hrs or so?? Thanks! And I’m sooo happy for you with your new line of products 😃 you deserve it!!
DO MIRANDA KERR'S SKINCARE ROUTINE' REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ON HARPER'S BAZAAR!!!!!!
I'm also waiting for the video
She pushes it too much kora organics and her noni oil 🤣
I'm waiting for this too!!!
By the way. The hair, skin, makeup and cleavage, girl you are glowing and stunning!
How do you use chemical exfoliants with retinoids and which products should you use? I’m a teenager with dry/acne-prone skin. I’ve got salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and Differin on my shelf (and I’m considering purchasing the Paula’s choice AHA/BHA exfoliant), but I’m too scared to use them all at once because o don’t understand how to layer them or which products cooperate with each other properly.
I can't wait for my TO Niacinamide serum to run out, so I can purchase your 12 percent one!!
Love you♥️
a dermatologist I know ALWAYS say that we are so concern about the concentration of the ingredients, when the results are in having a routine and doing it every single day
Please do a review on the brand skin juice! Would love to know your thoughts as it’s a ‘natural’ brand
Hi Susan! I get breakouts from wearing mask. In the fall I'm going back teaching at school full time so I'd be wearing mask more. Do you have tips for that :)? Usually scarves and high neck scratching my jawline also breaks me out!
Liah Yoo and LabMuffin Beauty both have amazing videos on this exact topic (their skincare recommendations to mitigate face mask irritation/breakout), highly recommend you check them out!
@@abbizoh Thank you so much! I just checked their videos and it's amazing :)
Dear Suzan, I tried Ren' s ready steady tonic and understood that I don't like the steacky feel that it leaves on my skin. Is it ok to wash it off after 15 min or that will affect the results?
I hope you check out FentySkin when it comes out!!!!😍😍 July 31st
This won’t be like Kylie skin will it 🤣
Love you Susan. 😍😘
I noticed a difference right away when I started using Cerave
The skin renewing night cream saved my dry skin in the winter.
Which one and what's ur skin type
I started using CeraVe’s benzoyl peroxide cleanser on june fifth and stopped a couple of days ago because the only difference ive seen is that my skin has gotten progressively worse. At first i thought it was just getting worse before it was going to get better but after over a month of my skin continuing to get worse ive given up. Should i have stuck with it a few more weeks or was i right to give up on it?
More naturium videos!! I bought 5 and i am unsure if i can use them all together or am / pm 😂 and im a beginner to HA and retinal!!
Ledgeluh I believe you can reach out to her customer service on their Instagram with questions on how to use the products. Btw, I’m so jealous. I’m waiting for International shipping 😍❤️
Me too! I live in the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love her videos, she is soo knowledgeable!!
Please include boosters & routine finder for easy purchase of products in ur brand please
Thank you
Your top is amazing! What is it?
I 💟 Susan Yara❣️
I support her & her amazing skincare products 💯👍🏻😉
Hugs from Dallas 🇺🇸🏳️🌈👬

How long does skin purging last... I just started using the inkey list retinol and my skin is break out city
Question can use retinoids every day?
Osmosis Catalist is generally browner colour, is it already oxidised when delivered?
I’d love a video about skincare that’s also available in Europe 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
