The Ordinary - Your Best Picks?

[MaudL]

I'm already a huge fan of The Ordinary and used it for years. However, I feel that my skin has changed recently with menopause and weight loss. I feel like I need some serious lifting and firming action - but for dry skin - and also generally anything that makes my skin glow.

I haven't updated my Ordinary haul for years. I use:

Squalene Cleanser
B Oil (before it was discontinued - why???!)
Rosehip Seed OIl
Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides
Vit C POwder
AHA Peel
Matrixyl 10% + HA
Toner

I occasionally use the Multi Peptide with Copper Peptides, but wasn't sure if it was worth sticking with for the relatively high price.

What are your hero products that might suit me? I feel like trying something new! Is the Multi/Copper Peptides worth sticking with?

The Ordinary is changing its focus a bit. I'm starting to see multiple ingredient serums rather than the one ingredient serum to hit certain problems.

I've used up a bottle of the Multi with CuPeptides and that's my favorite of their products along with the Rosehip Seed oil. My skin just looked radiant with it where the Multi Serum (Buffet) gave a more subtle improvement. I'd stop that then realize my skin just didn't look as good. Right now I'm using up a bottle of Multi then it's back to the CuPeptides. I buy during the November Sales because I get my oldest's skincare then too.

The Soothing and Barrier support serum is great for harsh winter days, I've mixed it with the CuPeptides. I've used their Granactive Retinol for years, it works without irritating my skin. I'm getting the Multi Antioxidant Radiant Serum with my next order because I'm almost out of my Inkey Vitamin C serum and an antioxidant is Step 1 of my morning skin care.

Their oils were fabulous. I liked the B oil and the Sea Buckthorn oil, too bad they discontinued so many of their oils.

In my sixties, my skin started getting reactive as am using their barrier serum-it’s made a good difference.

The saccharimyces ferment toner, GF 15% solution, niacinamide face and body solution and the soothing and barrier support serum.

nip and fab milky ceramide toner and their 2 part oil have been great for me. I also use the ordinary HA serum when I microneedle and the ordinary squalene over the nip and fab 2 part oil at night.
