Talk to me about The Ordinary products

[Yoyoyo1]

I see these mentioned on here a lot but what are they what do they do? I'm 46, pale, sallow skin and wrinkles on forehead etc... get hormonal spots on chin, milia and white lumps under skin. What would you recommend.

I use the niacinamide 10% and zinc 1% every day, along with the HA moisturizer. I have milia too (along with MASSIVE pores) and it's been amazing - not gone, but really really lessened. I've been doing that daily for 2 years now, took about 3/4 months to start seeing major improvement.

I use the caffeine eye stuff every day, buffet every night and the 30% aha peel twice a week - this definitely helps my milia and general face niceness.

(the aha peel actually got rid of some acne scars!)

They sell a massive variety of things, quite often single ingredients so the advantage is if you know exactly what you want it's a lot cheaper to buy something that treats a specific issue rather than a more expensive 'treats-all-issues' product. The downside is learning what you need, and can end up with a skincare routine with lots of stages!

They have a page on their site which recommends whic products will help the issues you have deciem.com/en-gb/theordinary/regimen-builder.html

I use their lactic acid (10%) every day, makes my skin softer and less decongested. Also buffet - this is a bit tacky but I'm ok with that, it helps prevent dry skin.

Those two make a difference for me, but I recommend slow experimentation and patience

I ventured into the ordinary for the first hole very recently and ordered this

I really like it :-)

Thanks autocorrect

First time.

Great thank you

Don't buy the argon hair serum. Smells like cow 💩.

Face stuff is lovely and excellent value!

I do like the Ordinary products.

I use their Retinol and AHA serums/treatments.

However for Vitamin C and other products which you prefer to buy in store - you can get decent serums or creams with it in from e.g. Revolution/Boots.
