I’m so glad that I stumbled across this video. I went to Sephora earlier and bought this exact product because I have oily skin and I deal with blackheads around my nose all the time. But I usually cleanse my face with the Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser and then I use another product from The Ordinary that’s formulated to help with making dark circles fade away (the caffeine solution 5% EGCG).
Would it be safe to use those two with the Salicylic Acid? Only because my Cerave says it contains Niacinamide and someone else on here said it was absolutely okay to mix them after the video said to avoid them. Is that true? I’m just now adding Salicylic Acid into my nightly skincare routine and I don’t want to irritate my skin barriers.
Awesome :) yes that is fine to use salicylic acid but you won’t need to use it daily if you just have a few blackheads on your nose, a few times a week is plenty.
You can use your cerave moisturiser that’s no problems. Most Niacinamide serums should be used separately to salicylic acid, most brands do not recommend to mix the two serums.
Moisturisers are fine x
@@SkinZoneTV Thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind 🤍
Can it be used im the same routine as Cosrx snail mucin essence?
I use a aha 30% bha 2% serum, and my skin is in the most amazing state ever. Shiny, few acnes and reduced pores. I use it once a week along with a scrub. But i use them 3 days apart. It has been wonderful. Also I use loreal triple active moisturiser after each one.
I just ordered glycolic acid and salicylic acid the other day…. As of rightnow I use vitamin C and moisturizer after cleansing. How can I add glycolic and salicylic acid into my routine?
Are they worth it ?
@@akrambenabed6295 remind me if you found something useful bro :)
Can i apply salicylic acid serum after washing face with vitamin c face wash ? How long should I wait after applying salicylic acid to put moisturiser
Can you tell me how to use both niacinamide and salicylic acid in my routine day and night?
I don't have too much acne or pimples but red marks on my left cheek amd chin what should i do ( male )
Hi! Can you tell me the correct way to layer my skincare. I have use Azealic acid cream, Cosrx snail mucin essence, the ordinary glycolic acid toner, the ordinary alpha arbutin serum, the ordinary salicylic acid 2% serum, and the La Roche Posay Effaclar duo (+) cream. I would really appreciate your help
Niacinamide is best to combine with niacinamide
i get pimples like sometimes on cheeks someone on chin on nose but not acne can i use this? and i have open pores like white heads on my face alott! can i use both niacinamide and salicylic acid ? at one time or how to use please tell
Update
Update? Did it work for You??
It says in the video that you cannot use salicylic with niacinamode and should not be used at the same time so use on different days but yes you can still use both products even without acne but you shouldn’t use both these products within the same day as it will cause your skin too appear worse
Any update😭
I use salicylic acid at night and niacinamide for morning, it works great , also add sunscreen for the morning routine and you should be fine.
Edit: My skin responded very well to these serums, so now i use niacinamide for two nights and salycilic acid 2% in the third night, in the morning only cleanser, a water moisturizer cuz is very hot in summer and sunscreen ofc xD.
If you use salicylic acid 2-3 times a week, can you use the other acids like niacinamide and lactic acid on the other days?...e.g Monday= salicylic acid, Tuesday Niacinamide, Wenesday= salicylic acid, Thursday= niacinamide and Lactic acid, Friday= salicylic acid, and so on.....?
Yes absolutely you can alternate. However you don’t need 2 exfoliating acid serums. Either switch between them and still keep to exfoliating 2 x per week or choose 1 exfoliating serum. Salicylic acid is better for oily skin types and blackheads,breakouts whereas lactic acid is great for dry dehydrated skin types x
@@SkinZoneTV is it okay if I use salicylic acid daily?
@@lulu6_aNO! If you use it daily you’re basically exfoliating your skin daily which you’re not supposed to do because if you over-exfoliate your skin can dry and you’ll break out.
If this can be done alternately. Application might be either morning or night time only. if I put on this every morning what would be my night time skin routine then?
Which kind of moisturizer do I need to apply on my face after applying salicylic acid ??? The regular moisturizer like of ponds, lakme will be okay??
The regular is good. I personally use cerave
I use Aveeno Calm and Restore.
Can I use my cosrx snail extract ontop of salicylic acid serum ?
Is it okay to apply hyaluronic acid before salicylic acid in my routine?
I think hyaluronic acid should be applied after salicylic acid
In my first time using this product, I made the mistake of putting the tube directly in touch with my face (instead of putting on my hand first)... Do you think that this is a real problem? I am afraid it is contaminated from now on...
How many hours it should stay on the skin before rinsing the face with water ?
It’s a leave on serum. So it’s washed off when you cleanse your face the day
@@SkinZoneTV thank youu
I’ve read somewhere online that Salicylic acid compliments with niacinamide
Hi! can i use cetaphil as my mosturiser after applying salicylic acid?
Yes
Is it normal the serum to change its colour? The expiry date of the product is still far but I've noticed that from absolutely transparent it turned to transparent with white.. stains (?) (eng is not my first eng I'm sorry)
Can someone tell me if it's normal
So I think I used this salicylic acid too frequently and now have small red bumps all over my face 😢. What shall I do?
I already use niacinamide + zinc serum twice per week besides a sunscreen everyday.
How often are you using? Cut down to 2 x a week, it could be purging
Is salicylic acid suitable for closed comedones?
Can i apply my salicylic acid followed by Hada Labo lotion (blue bottle) then moisturizer? Or should i use the hada labo first THEN salicylic acid?
i have this same question, did you find out?
Can Anyone reply to this question? I'm also wondering Thanks
I have alot of red spots and razor bumps on my face and i dont know how to clear them. Im using this but theres more all the time
Update😭
@@aditichoudhary627 works over time, dont use it too much though, also when cleaning ur face dont go too hard and aggrivate it. Use warm water at all times,
Hello! Question: Can i use Salicylic acid in the morning and Retinol at night?
Yes very safe
You won't need to use both daily as it will lead to over exfoliation and an impaired skin barrier. What are your concerns?
Hello
Can I used ordinary niacinamide and ordinary salicylic acid together
Yes it’s recommended on the website
They don’t recommend the niacinamide powder to be mixed. We prefer to not use them together.
You can see the conflicts on the ordinary’s website for each product.
Some other brands do not recommend mixing the 2 ingredients, that is why we recommend not to mix these ingredients as most people use multiple brands in their routine, not just the ordinary xx
When should I apply lotion? Before or after?
After x
Can i use the salycilic acid serum by the ordinary in the evening and the effaclar duo plus in the morning?
Choose one or the other.
Can I mix alpha arbutin with salicylic acid both are water based
Can i use glycolic acid twice a week at night ang salicylic acid in the morning? And what facial cleanser good for oily skin and open pores?
Too much exfoliation, you don’t need to exfoliate daily :) I would alternate between the 2 if you like both products.
There are alot of cleansers on the market, you just want to choose one suitable for your skin type - so a gel or foam works well for oily skin
Can I use salicylic acid and then face oil?
No. I tried this with The Ordinary Salicylic followed by The Ordinary Argan. My skin got fried - needed antibiotics and a long time with no products only water and Vaseline. Don't do it.
I’m using ordinary salicylic acid 2 times a week, is it Ok if I use ordinary lactic acid in the other days?
You don’t need to exfoliate everyday, if you want to use both products - use salicylic acid 1 x per week and lactic acid 1 x per week. Salicylic acid is best for oily skin types whereas lactic acid is best for dry/dehydrated skin types x
Is it okay to use cetaphil moisturizer after Salicylic acid?
can i use niacenamide everyday?
Yeah
I have been using the salicylic acid for about 2 weeks and the spots on my face has increased ALOT is thus meant to happen and what should i do????
Hey there yes sounds like purging. Try using the product only 2 x a week and the breakouts should clear up in 6-8 weeks
Can I use charcoal or any mask after that? Or should be used before applying?
Great question, this is a leave on serum that can be used a few times a week. So either put on after your mask, however if it’s a charcoal mask it can be drying so I personally would use the exfoliating acid on a separate day x
@@SkinZoneTV thank you so much 🥰
How long should you wait until you can put on the moisturizer?
Just until the serum is absorbed and then apply your moisturiser :) no waiting needed xx
@@SkinZoneTV should you try it for 3 days to see if you are sensitive to it?
after having applied salicylic acid one must necessarily moisturize the skin? Or can we just apply it and go to bed? and also we can use salicylic and glycolic But alternately ie different days it will not burn me? ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
@@traorendama4477follow it w a gentle moisturizer since the acid leaves the skin dry
how often should you be using it? my jawline and under jawline gets the most pimples and for some reason i get a lot of zits or whatever ones that are under the skin
2-3 x per week. If it’s mainly jawline area can be hormonal too x
Can I use a toner to let it dry first and then apply salicylic acid?
Can we use salicylic acid cereva cleanser and Odinary nincinamide serum together?
Yes totally fine as you wash of the cleanser :) xx
Can i use it twice a day?
My skin is super oily and have bumps on forehead
No wayy too much. Exfoliating more is not going to make you less oily. You need to repair your barrier. If you have congestion - look at what else you are using in you routine.
After using salicylic acid can I use my sunscreen ?
Sure you can
Can we use a Salicylic acide cleanser with a Salicylic acid serum but the serum only for 2 or 3 times a week
Would it be fine if I use this during sleep?
Yes it is a leave on serum
can i use it with hyaloranic acid?
Do you wash this off or leave it on all day?? I usually do my skin care at 10am and then I get home aorund 9/10pm
Also. Is it okay to put my makeup on over this?
Hello :) it's a leave on serum so best to leave on and I would use it in your night time skincare routine instead 2 x per week.
You will need to cleanse your skin after work right? to remove your makeup and complete your skincare routine :)
I have acne blemishes with oily skin. I got it that I should use it daily till blemishes disappear but should I use it twice in a day? Morning and evening? And also can I combine it with retinol before using it in the evening? Like for example in a routine : Cerave foaming cleanser, cerave retinol serum, the ordinary salicylic, the ordinary niacinamide 10% + zinc, moisturizer in that order?
Hey there, retinol should not be used with salicylic acid at the same time.
Try this routine for a few weeks. Each skin is different so it may need to be adjusted based on how your skin is going.
Morning Routine:
Cerave foaming cleanser
Niacianmide
Moisturiser
SPF
Night 1-3
Cerave foaming cleanser
ordinary niacinamide 10%
cerave retinol serum
Moisturiser
Night 4
Cerave foaming cleanser
The ordinary salicylic Acid
Moisturiser
Repeat
@@SkinZoneTV Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help :). Is it better to put retinol after niacinamide? Until today, I used retinol first and then niacinamide. I'd also like to ask what moisturizer you would recommend for my skin type. Currently, I'm using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, but I've seen a lot of people complaining about the new formula. I'm considering changing it to something else.
The cerave retinol is oil free so you could use it first before niacinamide. I would normally go the lightest serum first followed by the next. If you switch up products keep in mind that water based serums should come before oil based serums.
In regards to the moisturiser, I would stick to a water based moisturiser to help regulate your oil flow and keep your skin hydrated.You could try the CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel since you are already using cerave products x
@@dominatorrr3683
Hello. I just would like to ask some advice. I'm a beginner and plan to use salicylic acid and niacinamide as it seems these are trends now a days to cure acne problems.
I have oily skin which I think the reason why I easily get acne due to too much oil. Also, my skin condition is, I have a few acne and acne scars. I'm in asia by the way and our weather condition here is always hot.
How do I properly use these products?
Need to know the application procedure
How often should I apply salicylic acid? (Is this a serum or a cream that I need to use?)
What kind of cleanser should I use for washing my face before application of salicyclic acid?
What SPF is the best that isn't oily to skin but works in a weather temperature around 25-40 celcius?
Can I apply niacinamide at night and salicylic acid in the morning? Or vice versa? Also, how often should I use niacinamide?
What type of moisturizer do you recommend that is not too pricey and possibly available in our country local stores?
I know toner is an optional but I am undecided if I will use or need toner for better result.
Sorry for too much questions but I hope I could get an answer and that will be pretty much appreciated.
i dont know the answers to all of them but a normal spf for skin is around 30 if you arent planning to reapply it then 40 is probably better
I suggest looking on the Ordinary's website at either the individual product or their Acne Set, as it has detailed instructions (like AM vs PM, daily, when needed, before/after certain products, etc).
Kya is ko lga kr kitchen me kam kr sakte h
I wash my face with cleanser involves salicylic acid can I use the serum too?
I wouldn't use both, that's way too drying. Choose one!
Can we use a 2% salicylic acid serum every night ?
You don’t need too unless you have severe acne and it shouldn’t be long term. Over exfoliation leads to an impaired skin barrier. 2 x per week is plenty x
@@SkinZoneTV okeey thank you for the information 🥰
A few times my skin made contact with the dropper, is it okay? Its is a bit viscous now i guess maybe because of - temperature or the contact with skin?
Can I mix salicylic toner with Tretinoin cream?
No
I have milia in my eye contour area so can i apply the serum there ???
I personally do but not all over the eye contour area! I use a cotton bud to apply a tiny amount of salicylic acid to the milia only :)
I have acne blemishes with oily skin. Can i use Salicylic acid on daily basis?? Plz reply
Hey there, yes you can but just keep an eye out on your skin's reaction. Once your skin starts to clear, cut back how often you are using x
Can i use this product with alpha arbutin !!?
I would use seperately, use alpha arbutin in the morning and salicylic acid 2 x week in the evening
can my 12 year old girl use it? or is she too young?
A bit to young, if she is getting breakouts - try a cleanser with low % salicylic acid in it and a basic moisturiser
is it good for hyperpigmentation ?
I've been using it for a month an yeah it works for hyperpigmentation , i had spots of hyperpimentation from pimples and the acid cleared them a lot, even the old spots are clearing up ( less rapidly ) but i use it with the niacinamide acid frop the ordinary
Please give me an answer because im suffering from close comedones
Can i use the SA cerave cleanser and then apply the salicylic acid at the evening
Yes we have a whole video on acne and the different types of breakouts x
Here ruclips.net/video/stbwU4cqdlM/видео.htmlsi=Pu5wfbIedNQitDvy
Should i use the moisturizer after applying the serum?? If i don't use the moisturizer after applying the serum is there any problem??
Yes moisturiser always 🤍 it keeps the skin protected so definitely required x
@@SkinZoneTV thankyou❤
I am using salicylic acid face wash but there is an irritation and red scene problem what should i do ???
Stop using for now - it may be stripping your skin’s barrier. Watch this video here to see if you have an impaired barrier - ruclips.net/video/7yMpwuPbmFc/видео.html
Can’t you use it everyday when you have blemishes?
Yes you can if you have acne prone skin - everyone’s skin is different. Any other skin type/condition should not use it everyday.
I used it for three days at night and noticed inflamed blisters appearing under the skin. What should I do?
Knowing that my routine is a bit bad due to my lack of experience, in the morning at 6:30 I use lotion and moisturizer, and in the evening around 10-7 I use lotion and medical cotton from Stridex, wait half an hour, then use salicylic acid with Neutrogena Bright boost Moisturizer.
Hey there, is the stridex have salicylic acid in it? You don’t need to use salicylic acid every night and considering you are already using stridex you wouldn’t need a salicylic acid serum as well. Way to much for the skin which causes an impaired skin barrier and breakouts.
Stop use and go back to basics for a few weeks - cleanser and moisturiser only.
When you skin clears up you can reintroduce 1 type of exfoliating method. And start slowly once a week, and build up to twice. Monitor how your skin is going
@@SkinZoneTV
I mean, use lotion with moisturizer and Stridex, right?
@@-haioo6922 which stridex are you using?
@@SkinZoneTV
The red one
I have active acnes and i don't know which product i need to use since I have sensitive skin. Is it right to use salicylic acid to prevent my acne?
If you have sensitive skin, test patch in an area first to check how your skin goes.
Do you still need to apply a moisturizer if you put the salicylic acid in the evening?
Yes
But I don’t want to put it on my hands. It smells so bad and strong so how else can I apply it without touching it with my hands??
You can wear disposable gloves. Even if you use the dropper to apply to your skin (without touching) you will still need to spread the product evenly over the face, neck and chest area using your hands
Ohh I've been using it wrong😂
My face moisturizer is Dr rashel vitamin C face cream can I use it after using my salicylic acid?
It will depend on the brand you might need to email them and ask him if you can use salicylic acid before, some brands recommend that you don’t
Thank you
Hello... Ma'am...I have acne prone sensitive skin what if i apply ordinary anhydrous salicylic acid 2%serum...
Yes that’s fine :) but you should only use it 2x per week. Retinol and niacinamide is also good for acne prone skin.
If you are sensitive, niacinamide can help calm the irritation, redness and regulate oil flow.
@@SkinZoneTV Thank you so much... Ma'am... But my skin isnt oily but it looks dull and somewhat dry with acnes... Hope that both niacinamide and salicylic acid serum will work well...
Hi . Should i put my snail mucin first before the salicylic?
@@androidmaker4985 same problem. My skin is dry, dull, sensitive and acne prone. Im confused between ordinary salicylic acid n the anhydrous 2% solution.
Have you used the anhydrous 2%??? If yes, did it work for you?
please answer me! after applying salicylic serum, are we suppose to wash face in 20 mins ? or its okay to apply it for overnight?
It's a leave on serum and stays on the skin. You only wash it off when you wash your face the next morning
@@SkinZoneTV thank you so much for clarity , love love love ❤️
So what is it, shoukd i apply twice a week or ever day?
Hey there, as we state in the how to use section of the video - Twice a week.
At the beginning of the video we state that the product says it can be used daily but we don’t agree as over exfoliating leads to an impaired skin barrier which causes more skin problems. We don’t recommend to use an exfoliant daily unless you have had a skin analysis done by a skin professional and you have been given a prescribed personalised routine. X
Hi can i use hyaluronic acid after it saliclic ???
Yes you can
Can i use glycerine as moisturizer after applying Salicylic acid?
Of course, because glycerine is a common ingredient which means that you’ll find it in every hydrating product’s Ingredients list, so yes you can
i use also glycolic acid toner, niacinamide, alpha arbutin and the salycilic acid. how to use them in a correct order ?
You don’t need both the glycolic acid toner and salicylic acid serum :) it will depend on your skin concerns
Are you oily or dry skin type? What are your concerns?
@@SkinZoneTVi have oily skin, and small acne all over my face
use salicylic acid then instead. You don't need both glycolic and salicylic acid. @@aa9996
Here's a generalised skincare routine but you may need to make some adjustments, see how your skin goes.
Morning:
Alpha arbutin
Night:
Use salicylic acid 2 x per week, use niacinamide on the other evenings
How often should we use niacinamide? Planning to use salicylic acid and niacinamide only
Does it work for closed commodones
Yes
I have been using it for 8 weeks and my blackheads is the same. How can I know what is the issue?
I guess you need a facial for extraction first and then the product will prevent future blackheads formation. My guess only, as I've heard blackheads that are already in your skin must be extracted.
We have a video on our channel all about why you have blackheads and how to get rid of them. xx
My moisturizer contains vitamin c. Is it harmful to use it after the salicylic acid?
It should be fine as normally a low % Compared to a pure vitamin c serum. But you can test and see how your skin reacts.
@@SkinZoneTV can I use a vitamin C serum daily in the mornings, and then the Salicylic acid 2-3x a week during the evening/night time?
ms do I need to apply sunscreen in the morning?
Yes
What if use niacinimide at night time and Salicylic acid at daytime..will there be a problem for me? @SkinZone
Hey there, you don’t need to use the salicylic acid serum everyday.
I would personally use niacinamide in the morning as it helps reduce excess pigment produced by the melanocyte cell when you are exposed to the sun. Use salicylic in the evening just a few times a week xx
Can I use Foaming cleanser of Cerave containing niacinamide then salicylic acid after ?
Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid is a great combo together, although you have to hydrate your skin as it will need a soothing cream to calm your beautiful skin :), and don’t forget to check the ingredients list before using them
Can i use salicylic acid every day?
We recommend at most 2-3x per week, otherwise it can lead to over exfoliation and an impaired skin barrier x
Is it necessary to apply sun screen if using ordinary salicylic acid at night ?
Hello :) yes we do recommend to wear sunscreen daily for everyone
can i leave it on my skin overnight?
yes it is a leave on serum x
Can i use it in the night and vit c in the morning ?
Yes x
Can i use the salicylic acid in the morning and retinol in the evening??
What are your skin concerns? And skin type?
@@SkinZoneTVoily and acne
@@bgmonstarodzveroworkout466 For a short term you can use both daily, long term you would only want to use the exfoliant 2-3x per week.
Retinol can be used every night.
Can i use this serum at morning and tretinonin cream at night?
No ,use only one in ur routine
can i use niacinamid serum and salicylic acid at the same day
Yes Niacinamide in the morning, salicylic acid at night a few times a week.
How often can niacinamide be applied on your skin?
can i mix salicylic acid and niacinamide in skincare routine?
All depends on the brand. Some brands don’t recommend to use the ingredients together at the same time. The ordinary says you are able to use salicylic acid and niacinamide together you can layer them however we always recommend to use these on separate nights. Depending on your skin type and your concern salicylic acid only really needs to be used two times per week unless you have acne
I use it at night after I cleanse my face but, my skin is breaking out
Cut down how often you are using it to see if that helps x
hey is it ok to use it daily or only a few times a week? if so what should i use on the other days, i have blemish prone skin while some dry n oily places!!!
Hey :) daily is too much for your skin and over exfoliation leads to more problems. 2 x per week is plenty. What is your current routine?
When we need to wash face
How long do i need to wait until the serum to dry
Just until it is dry then apply moisturiser :)
I didn’t wash it off yet. Does it need to be washed off with warm water?
No its leave on serum
It's is really work n side effects?
Js started using, update me every week to give you my opinion
Im so happy I came across this video but I have a question. Im using this CeraVe acne controll cleanser with 2% salicylic acid in it, is it ok if I use that cleanser than use the 2% Salicylic acid drops after cleansing? Btw I am 14 years old
Hey there, you don’t need to use both. Over exfoliating will lead to an impaired skin barrier and will cause you more skin problems (I did this at your age, and have also treated so many clients who have also given themselves an damaged skin barrier from over exfoliating)
If you have already purchased, you will want to use a cleanser without any acids in it on the days you use the exfoliating serum. You should also not use it more than once a week considering you are already using a cleanser with SA in it :)
What else do you use in your routine? Keep it simple at your age xx
@@SkinZoneTV Well right now I just use the Acne control cleanser with the 2% salacylic acid then I use this differin gel its an acne treatment that I only use at night only at night and then I just moisturize with the CeraVe moisturizing cream and also in the morning I use a 30spf sunscreen
@@SkinZoneTV I want to start using the Salacylic acid drops so do you have any recomendations for a cleanser that wont ruin my skin barrier while using the drops
@@saarynwashington You can choose from another CeraVe cleanser that doesn't contain Salicylic acid in it.
There are a few options to choose from depending on whether you have dry or oily skin. If you have oily skin you may prefer their foaming cleanser or if you have dry skin you may prefer their hydrating cleanser which is a milk cleanser.
Do you use differin gel as a spot treatment or all over? You won't need to use salicylic acid often if you already use differin as it will already be exfoliating
@@SkinZoneTV I use the differin gel all over my face but I could always just take it out of my routine. Also I am pretty sure I have combination skin, where it's only around my forehead area and then dry on my cheeks. Do I still use the Cerave hydrating cleanser or something else?
Edit: Also I have been using the differin gel for a while but its seems to not be working on my forehead like I have a lot of closed comedones only on my forehead but they dont go away. The acne on my cheeks actually seems to be clearing up really good with me using the Cerave acne control 2% salycylic acid cleanser, it is just scars im struggling with and a couple pimples showing up here and there. But yes I use the differin gel all over my face and it doesen't really work even tho my doctor has prescribed it for me. I dont get big pimpled on my forehead at all just the closed comedones and I havent noticed ay result on my forehead while using the differin gel.
Hi used it and i got swelling under my eyes and breakout of my skin is it safe to use again?
Put vaseline under and around your eyes before
how much time should i leave the salicylic acid on my skin?
You leave it in
how many times a week can I use it?
It will depend on your skin, but 2x per week should be fine. If you over exfoliate you will end up with an impaired skin barrier and run into other skin problems :)
What if I use retinol one day and salicylic acid the other day ?
Yes that is fine :) just not at the same time
@@SkinZoneTV Thank You 🙌🏻
