Hi Melissa, how can I brighten / lighten my skin complexion? Are there any specific products you suggest or I have heard that people suggest to use honey on your face. Right now I use The Ordinary squalene cleanser The ordinary Vitamin c The Ordinary HA moisturiser Nivea spf 50 suncream Once a week I exfoliate using The ordinary salicylic acid .

Hello again, Well, I can't find your old comments anymore as KZitem's search function is apparently a bit broken! So, I might have to ask you again, what do you mean by brightening your complexion? Are you talking about lightening your skin tone, or are you referring to something like increasing radiance or fading spots, etc.? Alternatively, you could also join the skincare community on Telegram, so we can chat and have a history! ;) t.me/MVDskincare

Hi, I had a question regarding the TO peeling solution. Can I use the cosrx salicylic acid cleanser before using the TO peeling solution? I generally use that cleanser always and it works well for me. Also can I use the cosrx snail mucin power essense after AHA BHA ?

If it works well for you, yes. If your skin becomes too dry or irritated, switch to a mild foaming cleanser. And yes, you can use the essence after the Peeling Solution.

Hii melissa. My face is too dull. Which products should i use for my skin? Now i m using salicylic acid cleanser, niacinamide serum nd salicylic acid serum twice in a week, nd a moisturiser

Well, overall, our skin naturally has a dull appearance, so that's normal! The current weather change (depending on where you are) can make this a temporary issue, which gets exacerbated more. However, the SA (Salicylic Acid) cleanser, Niacinamide, and SA serum can make the skin even duller, as they all tend to "dry out" the skin. So, essentially, you need to use more hydrating products to slightly change the appearance. But there isn't much you can do except for moisturizing around the clog 🤪. Once you stop, it will go back to normal.

Do you know what has caused it? I mean, is it because of sun damage, a tan, or maybe genetics? If it's the latter, then you can't really do much about it, and the products won't work. In that case, you need to see a doctor for other treatment options. However, you can include the products like this: PM Routine: CeraVe Cleanser Pat dry. Apply glycolic acid. Wait a couple of minutes. Use hyaluronic serum. PM2 Routine: CeraVe Cleanser Pat dry. Apply hyaluronic serum. Wait 30-60 seconds. Use alpha arbutin (check if you can use it after hyaluronic acid, as it already contains hyaluronic acid, so additional hyaluronic acid before may not be needed). Wait 1-2 minutes. Apply azelaic acid suspension. So, essentially, alternate these products in your evening skincare routine, otherwise, it may be too much after some time.

@@Zander.Toledo I haven't tried that cleanser as it's difficult for me to get it from the US. However, as long as it's a foaming cleanser, it should be good! :) Do you always use the moisturizer before applying Adalapene? Have a look at the video; there you'll find some great sunscreens.
