How to use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque | Full Demonstration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In this video, I am going to show you how to use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque.
Targets - Lackluster Tone, Textural Irregularities
Format - Paste-like
Regimen Step - Use as a masque and rinse off after 10minutes
Conflicts - Other strong acids, EUK 134 0.1% or Peptides
Time of Use - 1-2 times a week, Ideally PM
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. 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.
And a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!

i always thought that “good skin care” was difficult and required a lot of research which i may be a bit too lazy to do. however, this is THE BEST and easiest to understand video i have seen on skin care EVER. you’re extremely informative and clear in how you deliver the information in such a pleasant and structured way. i’m obsessed ❤️ thank you so much ! can’t wait to watch more of your videos ! (i’m especially grateful for that AM + PM routine you provided and i found it sooo helpful)

thanks for your video, such a useful video to someone who is new to the ordinary!!!!
Glad it was helpful!🥰
Thank you! This video have been very helpful for starting my skin routine 🙌🏾🙌🏾🌹
Thank you for this video, despite the masque, you are still as cute as a button. I am new to Ordinary products. I am watching your videos a lot and I am getting braver though with what I am using. I am 78 and my granddaughters say my skin is looking "younger". Actually, I think what they mean is healthier. I have watched a couple other youtuber's videos about skin care and The Ordinary products...your videos are the most informative and detailed, not going back there, I'm going to stick with you. ❤️Haven't ever tried a masque, but it is on my "To Do List." Thanks again.
Hey Janet!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate your feedback and that you find my videos helpful!🥰
What products do you currently use?
It's nice to hear that your granddaughters can see a difference in your skin, and you must feel good about it yourself. 😊
If you should have dehydrated or dry skin - I do not recommend this mask. Look for a hydrating mask or like The Ordinary Peeling Solution instead.
If you have oily skin, you'll love that mask! 😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Thank you for your reply; that may not be the masque for me then as I do not really have an oily complexion. Now that I have been watching you, I have recently purchased from the Ordinary: Squalane cleanser, Natural moisturizing factors + HA, Ascorbyl, tetratsopalmitate solution 20% in Vitamin F, and Granactive Retinoid @% emulsion (recommended by The Ordinary). It is not here yet. Thank you too for your demonstrations on the patch test which I will be doing. What started me on my quest for healthy skin was a Christmas present from my granddaughter of Good Genes Sunday Riley lactic acid, I have been using Ordinary glycolic acid 7% toning solution also. And I am sorry to say I did not really understand that it was an exfoliant until watching your videos. I do like the results of those two products and they have started my skin to improve in texture and wrinkles. Oh, I also ordered the caffeine solution. I'm hoping that it is a miracle solution as I have some serious bags under my eyes.
I love your informative videos even those with products I may not use.I am on a steep learning curve, and thanks to you I feel better about the Ordinary products. You give such clear instructions. I love your videos...keep 'em coming!
Thank you.
@@janetvahlensieck623 It's interesting to hear that you have seen significant improvements while using your Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid! For how long have you been using them? And how often do you use them?
I find it interesting that I'm younger and currently having more issue with breakouts than with textured skin and fine lines or wrinkles... So when I'm using an exfoliating acid, it's excellent (I love using Mandelic Acid). Still, it's not showing "amazing" improvements since I do not really have those concerns yet, which it can help you with (- textured skin, fine lines and wrinkles).
The products you have ordered sound great! It's a simple anti-aging routine, that does not dry out your skin but can help you to even out/brighten your skin tone, and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I would say I've been using those two for 6-8 weeks. The toner I use 2 times/day, the Lactic acid, maybe every other day or so. I forgot to mention I have also been using Acure Brightening Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid oil, 1-2 times/day. I usually just use one product/acid at a time. Until very recently I did not take good care of my skin never used sun screen. I think my face was just so happy to get any attention, it sort of rejoiced. and frankly responded pretty good for an old lady.(lol) Thank you for your response to me, and many many thanks for your videos.❤️❤️❤️
HI Melissa! I love your videos. Watching from Philippines! :)
First time watching your videos. Best tutorial.
Thank you!🤗
i love the conflicts part thank you for making a whole routine as well!!! ❤ question - what effect does using the alpha arbutin and HA have after this mask? x
Thank you. In response to your question, it can still be somewhat drying. Therefore, if you do decide to layer it afterwards, I would recommend using a product such as The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan to provide sufficient hydration.
I got all my answers in one video. Thanks 👍

I appreciate you! I use many TO products
Thanks, the instructions on the tube are difficult to read. You really helped.
You're welcome!
hiii, I just wanna ask if I'm using/mixing the right products and what toner can u recommend? 😬
AM Routine: (daily) 1.) squalane cleanser 2.) salicylic acid solution 3.) niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% 4.) natural moisturizing factors + HA 5.) mineral UV filters SPF 30 with antioxidants PM Routine 1: (daily) 1.) squalane cleanser 2.) salicylic acid solution 3.) niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% 4.) natural moisturizing factors + HA PM Routine 2: (once or twice a week) 1.) squalane cleanser 2.) salicylic acid masque 3.) niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% 4.) natural moisturizing factors + HA
Yes, that's correct :) Does that routine work well for you or do you have any issues? 🤔
For soothing and hydrating toners I can recommend Paula's Choice.
Just make sure to find the right one for your needs.

Hi Melissa, thanks for this helpful video. I love your videos they contain in-depth information so thanks for that. :) But I have a question: I have the CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to -Foam Cleanser which contains Salicylic Acid (but I don't know about the percentage). Can I combine that one with my Salicylic Acid Masque from The Ordinary? And I also have the lactic Acid (10%) from the Ordinary. Do you think that combining that one with my CeraVe cleanser would be problematic?
Hello Ilayda, Those cleansers only use Salicylic Acid to balance the pH, meaning it is very little in it. So yes, you are OK to use it 🙂
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks for the quick reply ! :)
Hey melissa, you videos are very clear and nice to watch. I have a question: can i use the rose hip instead de 100% plant base..?
Hey :)
Thank you!
Yes, you can :)
You do a review on all of the products I need thank you
Glad I could help😊
Hello! I’m watching your videos and they’re so good. You explain it so well and I’m learning so much about the use and the properties of these products.
I have a question about my skincare routine. Is it okay if I use the Lactic acid 10% two days and the azelaic acid other 2 days (not in the same routine) and maybe do the salicylic masque once in a week?
All of these but different days. Do you think that it’s lot of different acids for my skin? Should I maybe try with one acid and the masque and then maybe try the other one and the masque? Will it be better the lactic or the azelaic acid with the salicylic masque?
Thank you and keep on posting these videos I really love them! ❤️
Hey :)
Thank you so much!🥰
Well, Azelaic Acid is a bit special...you can't really compare it immediately to other exfoliating acids (like Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid or Salicylic Acid).
You can use Azelaic Acid daily in the morning and/or evening, but you don't have to use it daily!
Whereas when using the other exfoliating acids (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid or Salicylic Acid), it really depends on your skin needs and tolerates. Some people can use their exfoliating Acid daily, whereas others prefer to use it only a few times per week.
If you are new to those products, I recommend keeping Azelaic Acid, Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid in separate routines. You can use Azelaic Acid, for example, in the AM and use Lactic Acid in the PM on that same day or use it only when not using Azelaic Acid. However, please do not use Lactic Acid that day or Azelaic Acid and Lactic Acid after the mask when using the Salicylic Acid mask. To avoid irritation.
Hello Melissa, I'm a beginner in skin care but don't know if the routine I randomly created is ok 🥴 I've got enlarged pores and blackheads and oily skin. Here's my routine:
For AM, (everyday)
Cleanser
Toner
Vitamin C
Moisturizer
Sun screen
For PM,
Routine #1 (2 times a week)
Cleanser
Toner
Niacinamide
Salicylic acid
Moisturizer
Routine #2 (2 times a week)
Cleanser
Toner
Moisturizer
Retinol
Hello :) Can you tell me what products you use the exact name of the products to help you better?
Thanks for reply me!! :) I don't really have exact products in mind except for Salicylic acid 2% Masque and Niacinamide also from the ordinary
@@unknownwillofd2541 Ok, so then this would be the order of application:
For PM,
Routine #1 (2 times a week)
Cleanser
Salicylic Acid (it's a mask, so rinse it off after 10min.)
Toner
Niacinamide
Moisturizer
Routine #2 (2 times a week)
Cleanser
Toner
Retinol
Moisturizer
You can use your toner daily in the AM and PM unless it's an exfoliating acid toner, then use it less often, like once per day, 2-3 times per week, and adjust the frequency upon it. Also, do not use an exfoliating acid and retinol in the same routine; keep them separate.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial OK thank u!!! You're a lifesaver :DDD
Hello Melissa!😊
Thank you for this very helpful video. I was wondering if you’ve any recommendations at to how I can use/combine the following 5 products in my routine:
-buffet+ copper peptides
-niacinamide + zinc
-ascorbyl tetraisolpalmitate solution 20% in vitamin F
-caffeine solution
-glycolic acid
I’m in my mid twenties and trying to combat some early wrinkles, slight acne plus oily skin. If you’ve and product recommendations please share:)
Thank you !
Hey! :)
AM:
- Cleanser
- Caffeine Solution
- Niacinamide
- Buffet + Copper Peptides
- (Optional) Moisturiser
- SPF
PM:
- Cleanser
- Glycolic Acid (2-3 times per week)
- Caffeine Solution
- Ascorbyl Tetraisolpalmitate
- (Optional) Moisturiser
I have several playlists on my RUclips Channel, I recommend going through them to see the application and get an overall understanding of how you can layer the different skincare products! :)
I just use a moisturizer after ?
Yes, you can if you like to; just make sure to choose one suitable for your skin type. But if you do not feel the need to use one, just skip it :)
Hi Melissa! Hope you are having a great day. I just started my skin care routine but don’t know how to incorporate the salicylic acid masque to my routine. This is my routine:
1. Cleanse face with Cerave foaming cleanser
2. The Ordinary Hyaluronic acid 2% + B5
3. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
4. Elf Holy hydration face cream (Fragance free)
I was also wondering if I should follow the same routine at night. Since the Niacinamide is 10% I am just using it in the morning but should I also using at night? (I use 3 drops for all my face). Hope you can help me improve my skin care routine. Thanks ^^
Hey! :)
You can use all your current products once or twice per day, daily. How often you can use your serums depends on how your skin responds to using it once per day and twice per day. Try out the different frequencies to see what works best for you.
Use the Salicylic Acid mask once per week in the PM. Use it after cleansing. Once you have rinsed it off, you can continue with the rest of your routine.
Hi Melissa! Your videos are great. Quick question... Can I use the Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid when using this mask? Would it be before or after? Thanks!
Hey :)
Yes, you can. Use it after the mask :)
love this video :) just a question what time of day should you use this masque? like day or night?
Well, they recommend using it a night. But that really depends on what you are doing if you work in the evening it's probably best to use it in the morning. When using it in the morning, make sure to protect your skin with a good sunscreen when exposed to the sun. But apart from that only use it when you have the time :)
Love your video!!
When you say that it can't be used in the same routine with direct acids, what do you mean? Could I use this product one night and avoid direct acids that night, and use the direct acids next night? Or I couldn't use direct acids at all if I use this mask once a week? Thanks!!
Avoid them in the same routine. So do not use them after the mask. But you can use them in the morning or the next day.
thank you for this video, it was very helpful!! Would it be okay to use bubble cleanser, masque, and then bubble slam dunk moisturiser?
Yes you can! :)
Should I use a moisturizer after the masque or the Niacinamide serum is enough? Thank you for your videos😻🤩
Hm, that's hard to tell. Maybe add both since the masque can be a bit drying so that your skin gets the moisture it needs.
Just applied and came to watch this! haha
🙂
Hi Melissa, thank you for the video. A quick question, can i use this mask after sun exposure? ( I mean swim holiday)
As long as you did not get a sunburn, yes
Thanks for the video! Very informative. How can I incorporate salicylic acid mask with the Niacinamide powder from TO. Second question: Can I apply Granactive Retinoid 2% in the same routine as the mask? Thank you ❤️
Hey :)
I recommend getting the Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid. You can mix the Ordinary Niacinamide Powder with Hyaluronic Acid and apply it daily in the AM and/or PM, and you can also use it after the mask.
See the video below:
How to Use The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder:
ruclips.net/video/egUSN1Jz44w/видео.html
I recommend not using the Ordinary Granactive Retinoid after the mask, but you can use it on other days, that's fine :)
Hi I was wondering in what order would you use the five following ordinary products: Hydrochloric acid 2%+B5, AHA peeling solution, 100% plant derived squalene, caffeine solution 5%, and the natural moisturizing factors+HA.
Thank you!!
You can only use the peeling Solution once a week. And the order would be
Cleanser (wait 5minutes for skin to dry)
Peeling Solution (rinse off after no more than 10minutes)
Caffeine Solution
Hyaluronic Acid
Plant-Derived Squalane or Natural Moisturizing Factors (My recommendation, or mix a pea-sized amount of the moisturizer with 2-3 drops of the plant-derived squalane)
For more information I recommend watching the following video:

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you Melissa ❤️
Hi.melissa i really love watching all about your The ordinary reviews and it's really helps a lot...
Can you make reviews about salicylic acid 2%solution vs.salicylic acid masque..what is much better to use..and how long can you use this products..?😊🙏hope to hear you soon😁
Hello Jaca, sadly, I can't since I can't get my hand on the salicylic acid 2% solution. Once it is back in stock, I will do videos about it. So I can't comment on this for now 😞
Hi Melissa, I loved your video. It was extremely helpful. I recently started getting into skin care and I got a new cleanser, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Facial Cleanser with Salicylic Acid. Would I be able to use this cleanser and then the Ordinary Salicylic Acid % Masque or would it be too irritating for my skin? I'm a bit hesitant to test it out in fear of chemical burn. If you can answer my question and provide any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I am not able to get that one. And I do not know the pH of it 😞 Therefore I cannot give you accurate advice. But based on my experience, it's best to use a gentle cleanser before the masque and use the SA cleanser when not using it. I can use a 2% SA cleanser daily without any significant issues. If it does get dry/irritating, I just pause for a few days before using it again to balance it.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hi the La Roche- Posay cleanser is a 2% Salicylic Acid cleanser. Can you recommend any gentle cleansers for me to use before I use the masque?
@@kristenthomas7538 Yes, but I do not know the pH, which plays a significant role. If it is higher, it will not matter as much. But if it has a low pH, it can quickly burn the skin when combined with the masque.
I assume that you have normal to oily skin, so you could use:
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
Paula's Choice Oil Reducing cleanser.
Can we use mousturize after this mask or not bcz my skin is vry dey .plz tell me
Yes, for sure!
Hi Melissa, I just found your channel after finding the ordinary products in my local store and I immediately subscribed! I have a question tho~ do you think it would be fine to use retinol in a skincare routine with the mask?
Hey! :)
Thank you for the sub!🥰
Generally speaking, I recommend not using Retinol while using the mask once or twice per week as it may lead to dryness.
What Retinol do you use?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ahh, thank you so much for replying!! I use the the ordinary retinol 0.2 in squalane
@@jamsinmypants4163 So, use your Retinol serum when not using the mask.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Great!! I will try that! Thank you so much ❤️
I love your videos. They are well structured, informative and the information is given in an understandable way, without going off topic or to much dwelling 😍.
I want to ask a question, any guidance will be appreciated. I'm using the same salicylic mask, twice a week. However, I do want to add I'm my weekly routine the TO AHA /BHA peeling solution. Do you have any insights on how I can do that and protect the skin from damage? Thank you.
Hello Joanna, hm are those the only exfoliating acids that you are using 🤔? And thank you ❤️
Hello and thank you for your prompt reply. I use the TO glycolic toner as well. 2 times a week. My skin has no no problem tolerating acids. I have acne as well, active breakouts and darks spots. I'm trying to find a suitable routine.
@@joannasybeva9659 Adding the Peeling Solution to your routine can be a bit too much because the Peeling Solution is a stronger exfoliating mask. However, you could increase the frequency of your Glycolic Acid Toning Solution :)
What's your skin type? And how much acne do you have?
My skin is normal to oily. The acne is hormonal, according to my ob/gyn. I am prescribed hormonal medication which I'm taking. The acne is local - chin, jaw line and around the mouth.
@@joannasybeva9659 For how long have you been using the Ordinary products? Also, have you already thought off switching to a Salicylic Acid Exfoliant?
hi Melissa..I'm so happy that i found your video. i wanna try this salicylic acid masque because i have an oily face, active acne,big pores and dark spot. is it okay if i use this masque then apply alpha arbutin lastly moisturizer? hope you notice my comment cuz this video is from last year haha
Hello Aiera,
Yes, that's fine; the products do not conflict :)
And I can see the comments in RUclips studio, so they will pop up as a new comment 😉so it does not matter when I uploaded it.
I highly recommend watching this video:

Hi, is it okay to use this masque after applying the Ordinary hyaluronic acid? Also great video it helped a lot :)
🤔 You have to apply the hyaluronic acid after the mask. 😀
Pm:
1. Wash face with your favorite cleanser
2. Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (rinse off after 10minutes and pat your skin dry)
3. Hyaluronic Acid
4. Relax and Sleep 😀
Thanks :)
So I just started using The Ordinary’s daily set. I read that this Salicylic Acid Mask is best for acne. How would I incorporate this mask into the daily set? I use the Squalene Cleanser first, then the hyaluronic acid, and then the Natural Moisturising Factors. You were a big help on how to use the daily set by the way! So if I were to use this mask would I stop using any of the other products? Or could I just use all of them and throw the mask in like after the squalene cleanser and then do the hyaluronic acid and the moisturizer? Also, I use the daily set AM and PM. And I know I should also only use this like 2 times a week. Are there any other products you would recommend I use, if so could you explain how to do that? I’m very new at all this. 😁😁😁
Hello Luke,
"Or could I just use all of them and throw the mask in like after the squalene cleanser and then do the hyaluronic acid and the moisturizer? Also, I use the daily set AM and PM. And I know I should also only use this like two times a week."
Yes :)
If you suffer from acne, you can use their new 2% Salicylic Acid solution.
But do you have a lot of acne? If so it may be best to buy "real" acne treatment. If it is only a little, the mask or the 2% SA solution should already do its job.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much! I’m pretty sure I have a lot of acne. It’s mostly on my jawline and cheeks. What “real” acne treatment products would you recommend?
@@lukenelson9029 So, Salicylic Acid may work. However, I (at least for me) like the combination of Benzoyl Peroxide and Differin Gel. So, use a 4% or 5% Benzoyl Peroxide in the AM (I have videos about Panoxyl or Differin on my Channel), then Hyaluronic Acid + Moisturizer (if needed) + SPF and Gentle Cleanser + Differin Gel + Moisturiser (if needed) in the PM.
Hi! Recently I’ve been taking care of my skin and you’re like my guru in this. ✨
But I have a question, what do you think about if I used this only on Wednesday and on Tuesday and Thursday I’m applying in the PM routine the Glycolic Acid 7%. I’m not peeling to much my skin?
How often you can exfoliate your skin depends on your skin concerns and tolerance. Some people can exfoliate daily, whereas others prefer to use it less often. See what works best for you! :)
But to answer your question, the routine you have mentioned sounds great if your skin can tolerate and needs it! :)
Hi Melissa, thank you for the video!
Is this mask supposed to sting?
I used it yesterday for the first time on my T-zone and found it a bit stingy. It was fine, but I just don't know if it is supposed to feel like that.
Also, after using caffeine solution under the eyes, my normal eye serum (Dado Sens) is not enough anymore...Could you maybe suggest a rich eye cream also suitable for sensitive skin?
I would be so grateful!
It has a low pH; therefore, it can sting yes. If it is only for a moment, I wouldn't worry too much, but if you can not tolerate it, it's probably best to change it to a BHA cleanser or a higher pH leave on exfoliant. (BHA = Salicylic Acid)
Yes, that one is drying. The best eye cream I have tried so far is from Paula's Choice, the Omega+ Complex. But it is costly. What you also can do is use the one from CeraVe :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you very much!
Thanks! 💛✨
Hi Melissa! I so love your videos. You are so reliable and very distinct to each every product you are reviewing.
Im currently using Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid on my routine. Then Vitamin E moisturizer cream. I am also using AHA BHA twice a week on my PM routine.
I would like to add salicylic acid masque and alpha abutin. On my routine. Can you help me on my routine?? Along with the products mentioned above. I have a very acne prone skin and oily skin. Now i have lots of scars from my acnes. Niacinamide and azelaic already healed my acnes. But im still having some pimples and acnes forming. But not like before which like a breakout!! Please. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Marvin, 😀 Thank you very much. 😀
You can add Alpha Arbutin after Niacinamide in the morning and/or evening.
You can add the masque once a week, or only use it for spot treatment.
Meaning just apply it to the areas where you have breakouts; I am doing this a lot. You can use it multiple times a week. I am usually doing it for 3-5 minutes every second day, and it works pretty well. But do not overdo it in case you feel stinging or get irritation, stop doing it.
Also, have you tried to add a Benzoyl Peroxide cream to spot treat the stubborn pimple areas?
Paula’s Choice has a great product: www.paulaschoice.com/clear-extra-strength-daily-skin-clearing-treatment-with-5pct-benzoyl-peroxide/611.html
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks for your response! It is very much appreciated. But how can i use the benzoyl peroxide on my routine if i am going to use niacinamide,azelaic acid,salicylic acid masque and alpha arbutin on my routine??
@@marvinmendoza3836 In this case, it does not matter, and you can apply it whenever you like. But for me, it works best after Salicylic Acid :) I have read some studies with Azelaic acid as well. I recommend applying it on top of Azelaic Acid, because the ordinary Azelaic Acid has Dimethicone in it. This way, it will penetrate slower into the skin, and you will end up with less irritation. So there are multiple options. I also used it with Niacinamide. You have to apply the Niacinamide before Benzoyl Peroxide.
You can't go wrong with the products you are using ;) There is no cross-reactivity. But always patch test before applying it all over :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thats wonderful! Thank you so much and bless you more on your video blogging! More success to you!

Hi Melissa, thanks for the video! Can I use Paula choice Resist Anti-Aging Antioxidant Serum straight after this mask from the ordinary? Then lastly add moisturiser
yes, you can.
I really like how to explain everything about the product. can you tell if using both Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution and Tranexamic Acid Hyperpigmentation Treatment is good or not. If yes, how can we add it to our routine?
Hey! :)
Thank you! :)
You probably want to alternate between Glycolic and Tranexamic Acid, especially in the beginning. Like using Glycolic Acid 3 times per week and Tranexamic Acid 4 times per week when not using Glycolic Acid. Both in the evening.
What's your current AM and PM routine? What Tranexamic Acid product do you want to use?
Hi Melissa! Does toner go before or after the masque application? Or should I not use toner with the masque?
What toner do you use?
If so, use it after the mask, since you rinse off the mask :)
Can I use niacinamide and this in the same skincare routine? Also do I apply my moisturizer before or after the masque?
Yes you can use Niacinamide after the masque. See here:

Melissa can I use my niacinamide serum an my hyaluronic acid serum after this mask?
Yes, that's fine😊
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial and can I use alpha arbutin with this routine?
@@beautyplatform405 Yes😊
Melissa can I use alpha arbutin 2% + HA after the mask or in the same routine?
@@esmeraguilar1382 Yes, that's fine😊
Hi Melissa
I recently started to use the products from ordinary and your videos were very helpful. I‘ve got one question, I am using the mandelic acid 10% + ha and I‘ve got also the salicylic acid mask. Is it okay if I use the mask twice a week and in the other evenings I use the mandelic acid?
Thanks for your help:)
Hello Lilly,
Yes, that should be alright. Mandelic Acid is a very gentle exfoliant. So it shouldn't cause any issues. But also, the frequency is individual and depends on your skin tolerance so that it may work well for a certain amount of time. Still, all of a sudden, it changes so that you will experience sensitivity so that you need to reduce the frequency of the masque or Mandelic Acid.
hi queen can i use glycolic acid toner after using this salicylic mask? pls reply thank u so much ❤️
No, please avoid that combination. It may lead to dryness and burning so it's best to alternate.
Hello....i love your videos. Kindly guide me which ordinary product is suitable for blind pimples???
what do you mean with "blind pimples" ? Dark spots?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial no, big hard red pimples. Kinda cystic acne
Using an acne treatment like a Benzoyl Peroxide Cream/Gel of 2%-5% or like Adapalene (Differin) may be more suitable for your concern since you can use one of them (or maybe both) daily. Have a look online or see a doctor for the best advice, and I recommend reading on the packaging or leaflet for directions!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you!!
What would you recommend using after the salicylic mask? Thanks so much! Love your videos ☺️
It depends on your skin concerns. But generally something hydrating. So for example, Hyaluronic Acid or a moisturizer suitable for your skin type :) Or both.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you! I was struggling to figure out what to use other than moisturizer. Is there a serum or something that would help with fine lines or is that something I should do on other days?
,@@shayjackson05 What else do you currently use other than mask and moisturiser?
I use the Cerave hydrating cleanser Cerave AM/PM. Nothing else currently and the mask 1-2 times a week.
Have a look at The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Emulsion or check out another low strength Retinol serum or cream which you can use in the PM when not using the mask :)
Hi! I seem to get pimples almost always on my chin. The get big but they are ”under my skin” and they are painful. I have a couple of blackheads on my chin that I cant seem to get rid of. I cleanse my skin every day with Vichy cleanser and then I apply the ordinary Glycolic aciid. I love that glycolic acid had helped me with getting more even skin tone and less pigmentation but do you have any tips regarding my chin? (Something from the Ordinary preferably)
Hey! :)
Hmm...their Salicylic Acid Solution may work, but then you need to exchange it with your Glycolic Acid Toner. Or use Salicylic Acid only on your chin and Glycolic Acid on the rest of your face. I still think that a (0,2% or 0,5%) Retinol (2%) Granactive Retinoid, (0,05 Tretinoin or 0,1% Adapalene) Retinoid or 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide may be best for your needs.
Hi Melissa! Can I use this routine with salicyclic? Hoping you could reply please. 1. Clean 2. Salicyclic acid masque 3. Niacinamide 4. Retinol 5. Moisturizer 6. Rose hip seed oil
This may irritate because of the retinol. If you are only using this once or twice a week and keep it hydrated on the other days, it may work.
Also depending on the moisturizer, you are using it is applied after the rosehip seed oil. Plant oils have smaller molecules and can penetrate the skin, most moisturizers, especially the creams, include havier barrier ingredients, like silicons(dimethicone) that will not penetrate the skin.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hii!! New viewer here , but I just want to ask if you should put niacinamide right after the salicylic acid masque or you should wait for like a couple of minutes before applying it?
@@dubuukim4848 Once you have rinsed off the mask and patted the skin dry, you can apply Niacinamide afterwards. No need to wait.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial omgg Thank you for your fast reply!! can I add one more question? Would you recommend these for teens or not? If not, can you recommend what to apply for a teen (combination - oily skin)? Thank you so muuchhh!!
@@dubuukim4848 This can work, yes. Do you just have combo-oily skin or acne-prone skin as well?
Can this be used daily I urgently need my skin clear for in about 2 or 3 weeks time?
What's your skin type and what are your skin concerns?
Hello Melissa,
How have you been? Thank you so much for all the help, suggestions and information you shared. It help a lot and my skin became much better. heart ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much.
I saw this product and I’m so interested to try and add it into my routine. However I’m not sure if I can add it and/or will cause an effect. I followed your night routine that you suggested, which are
1.cleansing
2. hyaluronic acid 2% + b5
3.niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%
4. Moisturiser
Can I add this to my night routine? And how many times can I use this in a week?
So sorry if I keep asking questions again. 🙇♀️
Best Regards,
Celine 🥰
Hello 😃
Yes, you can use the masque once or twice a week. The Ordinary has a set which is called the balance set, and if you like to, you can watch the following video since it includes all the information you need to know:

And I am glad that the products helped you, and thank you for the feedback 😃
I also recommend watching the following video:

Are you from Japan/Korea🤔?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial
Hello 😊
Thank you so much for replying. (I apologise for asking to much) But really, you helped me a lot and all your videos are very informative and I always watch as my guide.🥰🥰🥰
My acne lessens a lot, and the redness diminished and also my enlarged pores become smaller. If I have known about these product earlier.😭😭😭
I saw the ordinary set and I liked it a lot. Asked my sister to buy it for me in Germany. It’s so hard to find the ordinary in Japan. I couldn’t find a shop where they can sell these products. Mostly I buy them online (Mercari) or Amazon. But then the shipping cost becomes double than its products.😭😭😭. My only option is to ask my sister in Germany to buy them and send it when she sends me a parcel.
I work and live in Japan. 😊 ( not Japanese though 😋) I’m originally from Germany.
@@Seiyakou Oh really? :) Where are you from in Germany and Japan? I'm from Luxembourg but I also have friends in Osaka. Japan is a beautiful country! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Hello Melissa! 😊
Sorry for the late response. I am from Berlin and I live in Tokyo right now.
Your from Luxemburg, wow it’s a beautiful country. My former sharemate was from there. She speaks french though. What language do you speak? Luxemburgisch? Osaka is a nice place. I like Osaka. 🥰 Been there twice. 😊
@@Seiyakou That's so cool! I would love to visit Japan again, it is a beautiful country!
Yes, we speak Luxembourgish :) However, we do also learn German and French and later on a bit of English in school :)
I want to purchase this masque, alongside I use AHA BHA peeling solution, my question is, should I finish AHA BHA peeling solution and then purchase masque? is it okay to use masque and solution in the different weeks?
Hello Nanna :) well, this is totally up to you. You can purchase it and use it along with the Peeling Solution. For example:
Monday - AHA+BHA Peeling Solution
Thursday - Salicylic Acid Masque
You just have to make sure that you always let a few days in between. And see how your skin responds.
But I did it as well, and it worked well for me :)
Hey Melissa is it Effective for stubborn black heads and pores??
Hmm, not sure since I do not suffer from that issue. Generally, with Blackheads, it works best if you extract them. However, the masque may help with enlarged pores because of the SA in them. However, my advice would be to use a 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) solution or cleanser that you can use more often that tends to work a bit better.
Hi, after the niacinamide step can we use moisturizer and not the plant based squalene ?
yes, of course :)
The deciem website recommended I use the "natural moisturizing agents" so I got those; I didn't come across the "100% plant-derived squalene"; but now I wonder how those differ?
They are entirely different see here:
theordinary.deciem.com/at/rdn-100pct-plant-derived-squalane-30ml.html
theordinary.deciem.com/at/mas-rdn-natural-moisturizing-factors-ha.html
Hi! After using this mask (even on days I don’t use it) can I use niacinamide and azelaic acid in the same night?
Hey :) When using the mask, I recommend just adding hydration and/or Niacinamide to it. But yes, you can use Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid on the other days :)
hi I love your vids I was wondering if you recommend me applying this face mask on the evenings or mornings since I use the niacinamide on the night and the peeling once a week or should I stop using the peeling and niacinamide and just use the facemask?
I recommend using it at night. You can use Niacinamide after the peeling solution or the Salicylic Acid mask :) Since you have both masks, you may want to use one on Monday evening and the other one on Thursday evening so that you can use both but have enough days in between where you are not using any mask.
Melissa Van Dijk thank you so the niacinamide after the salicylic acid mask works?
@@Qpsks.7 Yes, that's fine :)
Hii I just want to ask because I didn’t quite understand, I own both this salicylic mask and the ordinary AHA and BHA peeling solution how do I use them both without irritating my skin? Also love your videos they’re very helpful🥰
The safest option would be alternating them weekly and adjust the frequency based on that. Are you using any other products along with them? Or are you planning to use some?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes I’m using just my simple routine at night I use a ceraVe cleanser, the ordinary niacinamide and a my clarins sleeping mask. In the morning I usually wash my face, use the niacinamide again and a clean and clear moisturizer. I use these everyday and I was planning to use the salicylic mask and the peeling solution weekly but I didn’t know they were conflicting with each other so idk how to use them together
@@meerawafa8290 You can still use them during the same week because you do not use any other exfoliating acids. But just do not use them in the same routine or the same day. Best would always be leaving a few days in between 3-4. And give the skin a bit of time to recover.
Salicylic Acid = BHA
The only person who uses the correct amount and doesn’t apply half the bottle then complain about it stinging lol
haha 😉
I'm tempted to try this, but I am not sure it will really make much of a difference, since you do not leave it on long and it isn't that strong supposedly..
It is okay, but I prefer the 2% SA serum :)
Hi, I have just started watching your videos from past few months, and iam way too obsessed with them.I want a suggestion from you, my skin type is oily and acne prone.Iam recently using niacinamide as a part of my pm routine followed by a moisturizer.And, once or sometimes twice a week I use Ordinary lactic acid 10%.But, now I want to add salicylic acid into my routine , but iam a little confused that should I use Paul's choice BHA solution.Or this, ordinary salicylic acid masque.I also want to listen your thoughts about Cosrx BHA Blackhead powder liquid.Will this be a good choice for me.Btw, my skin is also very much sensitive.
Paula's Choice Liquid Exfoliant is pretty intense, and I do not tolerate it that well, but a lot of people seem to love it; I prefer a 2% SA cleanser or this one ruclips.net/video/VZfnYa3xpm0/видео.html
But you can also use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid solution 2%. Or twice a week the masque and it also has some oil regulating benefits. Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is also great, but I rarely use it.
You need to find the right one for your needs, and my advice would be to test them. For now, I most often use The Inkey List Salciylci Acid cleanser, and it works well.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks alot❤
Hi Melissa, Paula's choice 2% bha seems to be a bit too strong for me and I'm thinking of switching to the ordinary salicylic acid masque. Is the ordinary salicylic masque stronger/weaker than the paula's choice?
Hey! :)
Yes, Paula's Choice 2% BHA is a potent exfoliant. You may want to have a look at the new Ordinary Salicylic Acid Solution instead or get the mask! :)
Started watching your vids and theyre SOOOOO helpful 💕 one question though. If I wanted to use this, would this be before or after toning? Im currently using the witch hazel cucumber toner followed by cerave eye cream and moisturizer. Will incorporate the ordinary niacinamide serum though 😊
The mask is your first step. So you cleanse your face, use your mask, rinse it off and use your toner, serums, creams on top of it :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you 💕!!! Lastly, what toner would you recommend for oily skin? I was looking at Paula’s Choice Weightless Advance Repairing Toner. Or is the witch hazel im using okay? Ive heard its good but yet its not good (or in other words from a dermatologist) they wouldnt buy lol
@@JustLovely28 Yeah, some ingredients are controversial. But when it's used in the right form or the right %, there is not much to worry about. I think it's mainly marketing from other companies since mostly they try to sell you a "better" product. Not sure ;)
I wouldn't say I like that one very much; I prefer the pore reducing toner. The green one works well too. But it is a personal preference, and you really need to test them and find the best one for your needs.
Melisa , i have combo skin. Can i apply this just on my oily areas of face ? Forehead , nose and upper lip and chin area ?
Yes, that's fine! :)
hi 🤍 should we put on other product like the niacinamide serum from the ordinary or a moisturizer after removing the mask ?
Yes :)
After doing whatever u have done in this video at the can I apply vaseline onmmy face??
Yes, that should work :)
I don’t know which ordinary products i should buy for acne scar and acne.. I'm selected now a few hours back niacinamide 10%,,hyaluronic acid 2 %,, retinol 0.2%,,,ascorbic acid 10%.. All r ordinary products.... Is it right choice?? Plz reply...

I have a few pimples on my forehead, after I applied the masque for the first time the pimple became active pimples (those pimples that hurts) is that normal? but my skin feels a lot smoother. is that purging? thanks!
btw, love your videos!
Salicylic Acid exfoliates the skin, meaning that pimples can raise up quicker to the skin surface :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Oh I see, thanks! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hi! sorry it's me again, I've used the masque for 3x - and forehead kept getting pimples and bumps, is this something I should be worried about? 😢
I applied it on to my whole face, but only my forehead keeps getting breakouts :( I usually get breakouts on my forehead and cheeks, but my cheeks are doing fine after using the masque
Pamela Tolentino maybe it’s purging?? How is it now and is it workkk on blackheads
Can I use alpha arbutin and niacinamid after this mask ?
yes you can.
Can I use this routine with the mask?
1) Lancer Cleanser
2) Mask
3) Witch Hazel
4) Argan + Rosewater Face Lotion
5) Aveeno Moisturizer
yes you can :)
I would not recommend witch hazel in your skincare routine but if you’re using it for a while and it doesn’t irritate your skin i guess it’s fine.
Hi i have a question, do you have to patch test it for three consecutive days before using it on your whole face or there should be a gap day between each patch test day?
Hello :)
See here:
deciem.com/patchtest
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque:
Patch testing prior to use is advised: Apply the product as directed to a small area once a day for three days to test if you are sensitive to this product. If you develop severe irritation, hives, swelling of eyes and mouth, blistering, or difficulty breathing, rinse off, cease use and consult a physician right away.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you ❤️❤️
@@cookiemonster3654 hey i was looking for this question maybe someone can help me.
Should I
A: Patch Test on the same spot for 3 days in a row
B: Patch Test on different spots for 3 days in a row
C: Patch Test only once a week for 3 weeks ?
Sorry I’m kind of dumb with the instructions. Wouldn’t you over exfoliate this one Spot in case of example A?
Can I use retinol after using this? Can I apply hyluronic acid and niacinamyde after?
What Retinol do you use? And yes you can apply Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide after.
Melissa Van Dijk i use the granactive retinoid 2% emulsion by the ordinary
Yeah, that one is great and gentle! You should be fine using it afterwards since you're washing it off - the mask! :)
Melissa Van Dijk thank you so much!! Stay safe love 💕
Can i use retinol and niacinamide at the same time? Or is it too much for the skin...
Niacinamide can be used in conjunction with retinoids sunscreens, hydroxy acids, and other ingredients without concern for cross-reactivity.
I have AHA BHA peeling solution and salicylic acid mask. How can I use both of them in my weekly routine? Or should I only use the AHA BHA peeling solution.
My skin is full of scars with hyperpigmentation and I often get white heads and pimples.
I have started using niacinamide and retinol in my routine.
Hmm, well, generally, you can use both during the week. So, for example, the peeling solution on Monday and the salicylic acid masque on Thursday. But that can get pretty intense after a while, so it may be best to alternate them weekly. Especially because you are also using retinol. So do not overuse them :)
