Yes, it has been awful watching his health deteriorate. Sad

That's sad to hear. His products have made advanced skincare accessible to so many of us, and hopefully that is what he'll be remembered for.

Oh that's so sad Sad

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 21/01/2019 19:13

Dear me. He visibly unravelled before our eyes. Awful.

LostInShoebiz · 21/01/2019 19:43

Very sad. Doubly sad given how little of a surprise it has come as.

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 21/01/2019 19:54

That's really sad. It isn't a surprise though, he really wasn't well was he? That link made me have loads of pop ups on my phone by the way.

Slurpy · 21/01/2019 20:07

Oh dear. That's ready sad news. I also had to stop following him, he was clearly very unwell.

StealingYourWiFi · 21/01/2019 20:09

Youcantscaremeihavechildren sorry about that, it was one of the only sites reporting it at the time. It was ok on laptop.

I see Nicola Kilner is saying shops will shut tomorrow. I hope all the staff scheduled to work get paid because there were some issues not long ago when things started to go a bit wrong where day to day staff were unsure what was happening and if they’d be paid. Of course that was during the period of NK’s departure.

How sad Sad

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 21/01/2019 20:33

@stealingyourwifi no bother, just my phone probably.
His Instagram feed was scary, I stopped following deciem for a while until he went. He did sound like a very troubled man who could have been so successful. I wonder if he was getting help, apparently he'd been posting about him being along on Saturday.

Dr Esho (who did a fantastic lip product collab with them) did a post about his death. He offered him help, firstly as a friend and then as a health professional. I think Brandon was offered a lot of help and support but this is sadly how it ultimately ended for him. Despite his ramblings and worrying posts I honestly didn’t see this coming.

Yes, I hope he will be remembered for his achievements in skincare (that sounds quite shallow but it was what he did) rather than his health. The Ordinary has literally been a game changer and there really aren't that many products/ranges for which that is actually true.

His social media posts have been.... erratic, to say the least, for a long time.

Very sad and shocking despite his obvious mental health problems. RIP.
