I use several of The Ordinary products and love them!
There's a reason for instructions. Hope people are not put off of the brand because of incorrect use.
Yes, but unfortunately, the instructions are not included with the products!! Mine misuse was obvious, but my esthetician friends say they see a lot of misuse on active products and improper mixing (all product lines, not just The Ordinary), with long term and more serious damage!.
I Love using Josie Maran products. Just by using different ones you can notice a difference in your skin within one week. This product line also have vitamin C. I would love for you to check out these products and do a video on them. I’m disabled so it’s very difficult for me do do anything like that. Thank You
All of my ordinary products came with directions. Didn’t yours come on a box? I love your video and I’m not being smart honestly.. I’m just wondering?
I swear by their products. My skin has changed so much. I was a tanner (Scottsdale) for 45 years. I never even put moisturizer on my face. Luckily, I have bullet proof skin. I love The Ordinary. I went in slowly with it and I have had great experiences with it. I did follow Kimberly's routine.
Lisa, I started using The Ordinary products but was so so confused about what I could and couldn't use with what. I went on the site and printed out their whole big chart of what products can and cannot be used at the same time. I taped it to the inside of my bathroom closet where my skin care and cosmetics are kept. Not only could I easily look up what I should and shouln't use together but it helped me commit it to memory. Still great as a quick reference guide!!
That’s a great hint because their products are complex. Of course my girlfriend just bought a kit that was sold together as a brightening kit from the ordinary at Ulta this week and gave herself a chemical burn all over her face and neck… I think the most important thing with acids is patch test! She used products the Ordinary recommended together, following their instructions!
I think my biggest takeaway on their chart was Vitamin C does not play well with some peptides , other acids, or retinal products.......
I love the ordinary. Used correctly, (what were you thinking girl?) they are incredibly effective and so cheap that I buy them in quantity for fear they will get smart and put their prices up.
I know! I guess I was thinking they wouldn’t be that damaging if used wrong 1 time! Lesson learned! Thanks for wtching🥰
@@LisaMonique In reviewing The Ordinary, I am discovering thatvI may use only one, two products. The others might be from The Inkey ...
Reason being, The Ordinary seems to pose more reactions. Had Labo is also a great skin line .
I just added the ordinary 10% niacinimide solution to my regime and it's a game changer for my oily skin. I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin or super, super sensitive skin, but under my tretinoin it's nothing short of a miracle. It's a bit tacky and can pill, so I wouldn't recommend it for daytime use if you're going to layer it under sunscreen and makeup. That being said, a light, *stress* light layer might work for you if you give it time to sink in. It also doesn't sting my skin , so I don't know what's up with that. Cera ve pm moisturizer, which has niacinimide at 4% stings a little bit. Go figure. :/ And I love my cera ve pm.
Hi 👋 Angela😍... I really don’t know why youtube recommended this video for me; but then I watched it till the end and was about commenting and then i got caught up with your comment. I couldn't just pass by without writing you... You want to know what I think; Well, I love seeing woman in makeup, but like a lot of men, I don't like seeing a heavy amount of it. Let the makeup highlight your natural beauty… There's nothing in this world like it. I think a woman's makeup should only accentuate her natural features. Too much makeup tends to take away from her appearance as opposed to adding to it. Less can be good… If I can't see skin and her eyelashes look like Tammy Faye Baker, it's too much.
I know it isn't right doing this here, but then where would have been the perfect place; My name is Jayden, do you mind if we connect, be friends and get to know more about ourselves and see where it takes us?
@doctorjayden5579 I just did a reverse image search on your profile photo. Your photo has been used by many scammers, including yourself.
Hi Lisa … I’m a new subscriber, watching a few of your older videos. As a licensed esthetician/esthetics instructor, I’d like to offer a few tips you may or may not find helpful. Please don’t misunderstand … not intending to ‘be the boss of you’, just to help. So here are my top tips: #1 - pH is a key factor in skin barrier integrity and antimicrobial defense. On the pH scale of 1-14, 7 being considered neutral, the skin on your face (untreated) tends to be slightly acidic in the 5/6 range. Interestingly, newborns tend to start at around 7 and lower with age. This is where your skin is happiest. When you’re throwing a lot of different products at it, your barrier can become quite compromised, resulting in irritation. Lets say you’re using a lot of low (acidic) products and experience that irritation. You want to bring that pH up a bit, right? Just dissolve about a tablespoon of baking soda (highly alkaline) in a cup of warm water and swab your face with it. Voila … you should experience quick relief. Now, if you were using an enzyme product (highly alkaline) to exfoliate, while you may not experience the same level of irritation as with an acid, you still want to normalize your pH to protect your barrier and its function. The remedy? A similar mixture using a tablespoon of vinegar (acidic) in water. Then carry on with the remainder of your routine, which brings me to the order in which to layer products. The most important thing you need to remember is ‘thin to thick’, and ‘clear to cloudy’, unless you’re including an antioxidant formula, which you would typically apply first, no matter the viscosity. Your final product should always be the heaviest in your routine, typically a product that contains lipids (fats/oils) that lock everything in and prevent TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss). Lastly, before any type of ‘peel’, treat your skin with tyrosinase inhibitors for a couple of weeks beforehand. These include, but are not limited to, kojic acid, ferulic acid, licorice extract, alpha arbutin, etc. These will inhibit the activity of the melanocytes and cut down on the hyperpigmentation you experienced post peel. Of course, when you are prone to this type of hyperpigmentation (darker skintones tend to be), regular use of these products are recommended!
Ok - that’s all I have to share for now. 🤗. Hope you find it helpful!! One more thing … if you want to do a deep dive into how the skin functions, check out the book ‘Milady Standard Esthetics Fundamentals’ on Amazon. Not inexpensive, but a great investment if you are interested in learning all things skin. 🤗🤗🤗
The Ordinary products are great !!!
The AHA/BHA peel is one of my favourite products, my skin feels and looks at least 15 years younger after using it.
How often you use it in a week?
@@siraprapameechai1410 once, maximum.
I love the products, I never had a Problem with anything I have used. I keep using the Ordinary products.
Do think this will be okay for breastfeeding mom?
I love my The Ordinary products, I definitely read everything I could find on each product. I have quit using my previous skin care regime. Staying with The Ordinary
I’ve been using the Hyaluronic Acid then the “Buffet” (without cooper peptides) & Rose Hip Seed Oil at night. This trio is fantastic and my skin feels amazing every morning. I do need to add a weekly exfoliation product.
I didn't try any of their moisturizers, I just grabbed actives, but now I want to try the Rose Hip Seed Oil, a lot of people have recommended it! 🥰
The buffet has hyaluronic acid in it so you don’t need both. Just so you know 🙂
Jen K yes! I know Buffet has hyaluronic acid in it but figured the proportion is less with other ingredients so why not double up. Make sense?
Beth Graham Wellness I suppose except hyaluronic acid isn’t an important ingredient anyway. It temporarily pulls water from the air and puts it into your skin which plumps it up slightly and moisturizes it. If there isn’t enough moisture in the air though, it will actually take that moisture FROM your skin...which isn’t good lol. For all of that, the effects don’t last long anyways. It’s one of those ingredients that just doesn’t deserve all of the hype in my opinion. For that one I always kind of thought less is more...just my thoughts though 🙂
Beth Graham Wellness It depends where you live too though. If you live somewhere with high humidity levels, it might have great effects. I live right in the middle of Canada however so tend to stay away from it lol
I am 64 and I use several Products of Ordinary and I have no issues with it.

Doctor Jayden I agree that less is more but I love skin care and make up.I never wear false eyelashes.I prefer to wear lipstick.
@@marileneboschofsky1418 Yea there's nothing bad in taking good care of your skin.. In fact I do encourage it.. Thanks for your response... I would love to connect with you outside the walls of RUclips... That's if you don't mind. If your answer is yes; then I would drop my email address that you can contact me with and then we will get to know more about ourselves.
Doctor Jayden OK
@@marileneboschofsky1418 hello 👋 Beautiful 😍.. How are you doing today.... I haven't heard from you in a while... I hope you are doing OK... I hope to hear from you soon
The ordinary has amazing products...Love them yes, you do have to do alittle research as how to use them and put the effort in daily to see the results! You can not find the prices anymore affordable for these great products anywhere in other product lines! 💜
Agree, their prices are fantastic!
I have all of these products and absolutely LOVE them. The peel is amazing, it does tingle and itch, but leaves a beautiful glow. It’s a great line and so adorable!
I use Retinoid 5% in squalane, hyaluronic acid and their under-eye solution (forget the name). Nevre had a problem. I really appreciate the affordability compared with other over-priced beauty products that have the same active ingredients in much smaller quantities, dressed up in fancy jars and packaging.
Caffeine? I use that too. It completely got rid of the dark circles under my eyes that had plagues me for years. Love it.
Finally! Someone else that makes silly mistakes and owns up. I'm just getting over the burnt skin around my eyes too. I started using The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% because it is supposed to brighten the skin and be especially good for around the eyes. Might be for some but it burnt the skin around my eyes and I've had sore, red and peeling skin for a couple of weeks. I stopped using everything except jojoba oil and it's finally cleared up. I'll stick to their Caffeine for my eyes in future.
I hear you! Because even things that were fine a month ago are still a little sensitive around my eyes!
I don’t think Argireline Solution is for brightening. They call it Botox in a bottle. It’s suppose to relax the muscles that cause deeper wrinkles like the 11’s between brows and others. I’d be careful where you put it. I have it, but I forget to use it because I’m trying to prevent those deeper lines, but I don’t have any yet so there is nothing to remind me 🤷♀️
When it comes to skin you always have to patch test first and go easy . Build up tolerance gradually.Be kind to yourself.Good skin doesn't happen overnight.Its something you have to do 24/7 every day + consider your diet/lifestyle.
I agree! Thanks for watching, I'm trying to improve my diet too, I definitely eat too much sugar!
I love The Ordinary products

You (along with way toooo many other people) fell in a few traps.
- It takes a serious study or weeks of reading to be able to develop your own regimes.
- Higher % is NOT equal to better. Introducing a lot of actives at the same time is never a good idea.
- Not buying the right products along the needed actives to be able to dilute when starting.
- Understanding how and why conflicts exist is different from simply reading a flyer.
-+ But the biggest trap (in general and in life) is: To focus on what one desires/wants instead of on what one actually needs.
Based on the information you give I would’ve never advised any of the products you bought. What you should’ve bought instead.......? Who knows at this point! Skin type, skin condition, other products you use actively, main focus, goals etc.
Thank you so much for this video! I've had a running list of products from The Ordinary that I wanted to purchase and you helped me whittle it down!!!
I was laughing so hard when you said..."screw it, I'm going to just use them all!!!" Been there , done that! 😂🔥🙄
🤪🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi 👋 Jenn😍... I really don’t know why youtube recommended this video for me; but then I watched it till the end and was about commenting and then i got caught captivated by your comment....

I tried their vitamin C and I nearly jumped out of my skin! (I suppose that’s one way to exfoliate ha ha!)
Haha, it is pretty potent!!! Hope your skin is OK!!
Hi Lisa, I use the copper peptides and they do have a place with other Ordinary products but it is limited for safety and other negative results.
My skin has been desensitized while using the Ordinary products for over a year...so my skin accepts these products gratefully. Anyone using multiple active ingredients needs to build up gradually to decrease potential irritation to their skin. Everyone's skin is different and must be respected.
In the Am...I cleanse with a fiber cloth only, apply "Alpha Arbutrin", then copper peptides, then mix Niacinamide powder with the Moisturizing Factors with no issues at all.
I recently changed my PM routine to "cleanse with their oil cleanser, apply Vit C Suspension 30%, Alpha Arbutrin and then Moisturizing Factors...also no problem for my skin.
1-2 x week I use the Peeling Solution after an hour of Vit C 30% absorbing...then AA again and Moisturizing Factors to seal it in...no problems. Vit C Suspension works better for me at night rather than morning for better brightening. I have tried other AHA's in the past and the burning and process was very uncomfortable. The Ordinary's Peeling Solution is fantastic and so is the red. That's part of the fun of using it. The "stingle" is intense if your skin is using it for the first time, or you aren't used to acids...so The Ordinary recommends removing it before 10 mts if it starts stinging. A "stingle" is very different from a "tingle"...so let's be honest about that...lol.
A few weeks ago I began the vitamin C suspension...no irritation. I did my first AHA BHA peeling solution 5 days ago...no irritation. Yesterday I tried the Glycolic acid...no irritation. I have a bunch of their products so I'll keep using them as recommended (always use the exfoliants only at nigh-time!)
I use some products from The Ordinary, Timeless, and Curology. I’m almost 60 and my skin is glowing😀
Those are all brands I've heard great things about, especially for mature skin!!!🌸💕
Lisa Monique Beauty Timeless Vitamin C works really well
I am 65. I have had amazing results from these same brands. Skin is no longer dry and the glow is truly there!
@@earthyglow That's wonderful!! I have a lot of friends that love The Ordinary too 🥰💕
@@carolynlindstrom7232 yes it does
I love this products and it has done my skin wonders😊.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I, too, had never heard of the brand until I starting watching YT more often. I only tried the buffet peptide (the one without the copper), and honestly I saw and felt absolutely nothing. It was harmless and just ended up using it up on my neck and hands. I follow Dr. Dray and have really tried the "less is more" approach I feel she conveys, and honestly it's really helped. I thought about getting NA Moisturizing Factor cream from them for a boost, but I'm on the fence. BTW, so glad to see someone our age who is not a bottle blond! :)
Thanks for Watching Deborah! Less is more...and it's taken me a year to go back to my minimal approach! 🥰
I didn’t know there are 2 strengths of niacinamide!! I’m gonna check my strength! I have a copper on the way - excited!! I agree. It will be hard to take breaks from tretinoin!!!! So many good products to use! Great reviews sweet Lisa!!🤗🤗😂
Thank you! I'll be interested in how you work the products into your routine, I know you like a more complex routine and find it relaxing. 🥰💕🤗
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺... I found you this morning,I had a good laugh and learnt a lot at 7am..... Have a great day/night..
Thanks Mary! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi 👋 Mary😍... I really don’t know why youtube recommended this video for me; but then I watched it till the end... This is indeed an awesome video... I was about commenting when I got captivated by your comment and I couldn't just pass by without writing you … I can tell you for a fact that; if I was a lady, I have learnt something cool... Makeup for women is pretty cool because it accentuates her natural features, but like a lot of men, I don't like seeing a heavy amount of it. Let the makeup highlight your natural beauty only… There's nothing in this world like it… I know it isn't right doing this here, but then where would have been the perfect place; My name is Jayden, do you mind if we connect, be friends and get to know more about ourselves and see where it takes us?
You can use other products if you want to go the easy way and not worry but with The Ordinary, you definitely need to do your research and be very cautious. Sometimes you can learn your lesson through mistakes but when your skin is at risk... not sure you want to go that way.
I love Ordinary products, my face is clearer,, pores close up...I followed the Deciem Website AM & PM routine what to mix, & What not to mix
Amy Si
Why oh why would you use an exfoliant when you are recovering from an allergic reaction....you learned the hard way......oooooo I’m continuing the video and I cannot believe the things you did....oh boy...you were lucky that you recovered your barrier in one week.....I cannot use L’ascorbic acid at all...much to irritating for me, I use Ascorbyl Glucosides 12% or MAP no problems and can use RetinA still (altho I use the AG or MAP in the am and RetinA pm)....I realised you also said you use Retin A so you do not need any other acids...I use Niacinamide in the pm with RetinA with no problems and love it but some do have problems...
After all that, I also concluded my Retin-A and my moisturizer does everything I need! And maybe a nice soothing type serum, I do like my Needle less which has the Niacinimides and Copper Peptides.
At night, I mix 5 drops of the niacinamide and 5 drops of the buffet in my hands and spread over my face and neck. I wait a couple of minutes then follow with my RetinA and moisturizer. Never have any issues whatsoever.
In the morning I use vitamin C (the one w/vit F) mixed with an antioxidant before sunscreen. It’s been a great routine for me.
I just love this video as its so normal 😁.
Haha, if my daughters did what I did, I would be lecturing them on reading instructions and taking care of their skin....do what I say, not what I do 😂🥰
Thanks for being honest and sharing your bad experimenting with us. You are doing exactly what some of us (me) do. We know we should know better to read instructions but we do what we do any way 😆. I've start using this brand last year, no reaction. I think I'm going to give that red liquid thing a try.
Please don't listen to her shes being dramatic millions of people use these products just try for your self before listening to people like this
@@efcmax6415 why would you feel the need to BASH Lisa to someone else?! She was being honest about the what she’d done,with the products she bought. She admitted she shouldn’t have used them all at the same time. She even mentions several times that some of the products might very well work for someone else, even if they didn’t for her. I believe she even said everyone’s skin is different is this video.
So I don’t understand the need for you to talk bad about her to someone else.
If you don’t like what she has to say about any of the products, or about anything for that matter, go watch another channel!
It’s totally RUDE what you did.
Hot and Flashy has great video's on anti-aging, too. Her father is a chemist so she is very knowledgeable about different anti-aging products. The more information we can get, the better off we'll all be. Smiles and happy aging. Ugh!
I love Angie, she was the first mature beauty channel I ever watched! My problem is the retention...I remember hearing about something but not necessarily how to use it!
Lisa Monique Beauty I printed Angie’s regimen from her blog. That sure has helped me follow it!
@@LisaMonique FYI, Angie uses her lactic acid in her morning routine AFTER applying her Timeless Vitamin C w/ferulic acid. I hope this helps. I do that also, except I use the 5% lactic acid from Ordinary due to my sensitive skin. And yes, I’ve been guilty on the “more is better” philosophy. And with my tendency toward sensitive skin that is crazy talk. LOL Will I ever learn?🤪
Why would you mix them all together knowing ( or maybe not) that these were all exfoliants? I just started using The Ordinary and I use the 30% glycolic acid that should only be used once a week! Start off SLOW then work in others as your skin builds a tolerance.
12:04 I use the CeraVe 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, Fragrance Free. Coming in at £20.00, I think it's really expensive and because it's part of a skincare routine, it's kind of hard to hone in on its specific results due to the product being used in conjunction with other products or not. However, it is a big seller, so there must be something great going on with this product.
Girl! What you had was a lab experiment. Never mix chemicals together and put on your face. Lol
Good analogy! Lesson learned!! 😉🥰

I went to their out let in London l was not advises with the items l bought,l uses skin Ceuticals and they are the best but very costly So changes to a much cheaper bland to Ordinary, l had very bad reaction had to see a doctor, quickly was told to stop using it.so be careful with it.
I had no reaction to the peeling solution will have to use thicker....also use tretinoin 1% because why get the lower percentage had mild peeling in 3 days works great .....
I believe that if you send an enquiry to the company they will advise you based on your skin type. You should not mix some of the products and they advise on that also. I printed off the anti aging instructions and use that
You can use your lactic acid in your body cream. I put a few drops in each pump of cream and put it on forearms and top of hands especially where hit by the sun to stop the creping. xo
I’m moving it next to my lotion now 😁😁😁
I like the red, I helps guide me to stay away from my eyes.
wouldn't your morning and evening skin routines be different? So copper peptide use in the morning routine, and then your retinoid use in your evening routine?
Why did you decide to mix everything? And then tretonoin😢 Not a good idea. Thanks for sharing though reinforces what not to do .
Omg so sad for your skin to to much chemicals, I do exfoliate once a week and mix natural oils to moisturize my skin.
Thanks for this video, I wish I had found something like this months ago. Almost everything I’ve tried from the ordinary is too strong for my skin, dang it. I’m glad I’m not the only one with that problem. But I think it’s nice that there are such affordable and effective products on the market!
Exactly! It’s great if you can customize you’re perfect skin care products at such a reasonable prices. I think I will stick to my milder blends that I know work but don’t irritate my skin 😉💕
Donna lol 👌🏻
My skin does Not tolerate the retinol type products. Another good cheap effective brand - Revolution
Just started using The Ordinary.I appreciate your informative video.
Glad it was helpful! Just go slow! 🥰
Thank you,Donna.Can I contact the company via phone?

I bought a few products from The Ordinary and then contacted them as I wasn't sure if I had bought wisely for the concerns I wanted to address. They came back and told me that 2 of the products I had bought wouldn't address my issues and recommended a few. Not only that but I had told them that my saggy eyelids had really affected my confidence and I'd like something to address that - my left eyelid drops down halfway across my pupil every evening. It overhangs the eyelashes for the rest of the day. I have ptosis in my left eye. Anyway, I also told them I was retired early due to ill health and so my budget was limited. They recommended NIOD's FECC for my eyelids which is more expensive than The Ordinary. They said they understood I was on a budget and therefore they would like to gift it to me if that was okay with me. Needless to say I said yes! I couldn't believe it. I fell in love with it straight away. Not only does it lift the eyelids but it also makes the eyelashes grow! My eyelashes had become v sparse in recent years whereby they used to be so long they'd touch my eyebrows almost. 2 weeks into using the serum and my eyelashes were really long again!! I love the AHA/BHA peel and my 15 year old daughter uses it for her keratosis pilaris. She also uses the glycolic acid toner and between the two of them the kp on her face is almost gone.
OMGosh, I'm going to try it. I think I'll request a consult and try what they recommend. It will be a good follow up video! My daughter has TERRIBLE keratosis pilaris on her arms and thighs (and sometimes her face), I may have her try on the AHA/BHA on a larger surface and see if it helps. Thanks for all the info!! 💕🥰
@@LisaMonique No probs. Hope it helps. Dr. Dray also mentioned the secret key starting treatment essence could help kp. We get that on yesstyle. My daughters pm routine is cleanse with cerave SA cleanser. Then either glycolic acid toner or good molecules niacinamide toner. Then secret key and depending on where her skin is at that day perhaps one or two essences and moisturise. AM - when she can be bothered! - she just splashes her face with water, secret key essence, moisturise and sunscreen.
Start with the basics. Do an evaluation of your skin. Is it dull, rough, hyperpigmentation, oily, prone to pimples? Add products slowly based on your skin needs. It’s really not that hard.
Thanks for the tips!🥰
@@LisaMonique j
I have read online that it is fine to use Retinol after this serum although I haven’t tried it myself yet.
I have just started using The ordinary products and so glad I found it. I used to use expensive over priced products and so far I have been quite happy with the products so far.
You do have to ask for guidance about which products you need and how to use layer it.
I don't know what you use to compare The Ordinary with... but it works when you use it correctly.
Im impressed how honest and funny you were at this video! Just thank you for your true review! It’s hard to start a skincare routine and all the videos are the same! I loved how we can learn from your mistakes here!
Tks for sharing! ❤️
Thank you Marina. It’s a definitely what not to do🤪🤪🤪
I'm 66 and have used TO since they began. When starting any skin care product you must trial one at a time. If you react badly to a product, you can't possibly know which one it is if you start multiple products at once. I've used tretinoin for about 30 years and that, together with SPF 50 EVERY day has kept my face relatively youngish. I use about 7 TO products and am happy with them all. I can't justify paying a fortune for brands like Drunk Elephant when I can pay under $10 for most TO products.
I do feel like if I did nothing but tretinoin and sunscreen, it would be enough! Though I have decided I prefer combo products. As I’m starting to travel again, it’s just easier to bring one serum than a handful!!
I use vitamin c suspension at day time with sunscreen protection after it. At night, I use Niacinamide together with the Retinol. It's okay.
That is what I did with other brands that I was using, Vit C in am and Niacinimide and tretinoin at night...I was just anxious to try all the new products!!
I believe this is the correct format C in daytime with suncreeen,Niacinimide at night ❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your honesty so much. I feel like when you try out products you are taking one for the over 50 team.
Thank you so much Juliann. Your comment means so much to me!!! 🥰🥰🥰
The Ordinary help line said you can use the copper buffet with the 10% magnesium vitamin c.
This was painful to watch. You don t put acids on damaged skin. Do the research first and then put stuff on your face. And listen to your skin. When irritated you stop all the irritating products, only gentle cleanser and moisture until your protective barrier is restored is enough. You have beautiful skin. Be careful and nice to your skin and try not to over exfoliate. It is the only skin you have.
Agree! 🥰
I think it’s very tiring to start mixing and thinking what to use and when. Unles having a great interest. Wash, hydrate, sunscreen - that’s it. Sometimes I don’t use any products and my skin gets even better.
I totally agree! Simplicity is best 💕
Been using Holy Hydration based on your recommendation which I Love. What I’m looking for is product specifically for frown lines. I tried some form of serum before but it made my skin oily. I’m age 60 and live in hot/humid summer location and dry windy in winter. Video and/or product under $50 possibly???
I'm honestly not sure if such a product exists!! You mean around the mouth?m. I'm thinking except for tricking the eye w/a lighter concealer, it would be hard to find something really effective outside fillers and/or botox to plump up that area for a real difference...though I hear red light therapy may be good, I just can't use it because of my skin type, it increases my melasma!
I don’t have a skin care routine. I was obsessive with my skin in my early 20s. Kids came along and I stayed lazy. I get on the bandwagon and try something but it is piecemeal. I would love to get a routine but I don’t know where to begin.
Do you have any videos for beginners who don’t want to get confused? I’m 68 and need to start ASAP
You know, I have several skincare videos, but I think I’ll do a specific Skincare 101 video, look for it in the next couple of weeks!
Highly recommend face yoga for your wrinkles
Love The Ordinary products! I have several of them in my GIVEAWAY on my channel.
That's Awesome! Most people LOVE them...but you have to pay attention to what you are doing and that's where I failed, lol.
There is no way that I could possibly consider following someone who would be so reckless with mixing products. I am no expert and so am looking for expert advice. Although a novice would never consider throwing a cocktail like you did together and applying to my previous skin.
😂😂😂 please don’t follow me or the majority of people on social media for “ expert” advice. This channel is to share my experiences.
I don’t think this woman has any certifications to speak on these products. To put acid on acid and then retinoid wasn’t that smart!! I don’t know much about skincare but all skincare professionals repeat over and over do not put acid on acid and retinoid. Crazy!
😂😂😂. Therefore, the title of the video… What "Not" to do.
Why would you go that?
I guess it is good you shared the outcome of poor judgement. Good luck with getting a better plan!
Thanks, yes it is definitely the result of poor judgement! Thanks for watching☺️
My 18 y/o daughter had bought the aha/bha peel and didn’t like it at all. She asked if I wanted it and I said sure, I’ll try it. Turns out I loved it but it did scare me when it tingled so much the first time I used it. I had never heard of Ordinary, so I did some investigating and came across Pretty Over Fifty and now I’m a convert. I use my retinol at night on the nights I don’t use a peel of any kind and I use the buffet/copper in the am with hyaluronic acid and a sunscreen. I’ll switch buffet out for vit c aprox 2 times a week. I use niacinamide/zinc am and pm. I have the Argireline and salicylic acid, but I forget to use them most times. My skin has definitely improved and I love the price point
I love everything I’ve used from the ordinary but I do research before I buy.
Smart...I see a video that I like, then click on the link and buy...and then forget how to use, lol.
Lisa Monique Beauty that’s my problem too. I have over 15 ordinary products and I have no idea how to use them now
@@My6lvs 😂😂😂 And who wants to spend 45 minutes on their website trying to figure it out!! Though I did hear you can email them and tell them what you have and they'll tell you how to use...may take a few days to get the reply!
There is an app called Skincare. It looks like a tear drop and it red/pink. You put in the products from the ordinary and it automatically puts a routine together. Really easy!
I tried looking for this app, Someone else mentioned it here. But I think they called it something else so I will look for just Skincare
I’m 30 and I’m using all these products during 6 months ( but without mixing it all at the same time. Why do you do that?🤣) and I never had a single problem, that you mentioned even though I have very sensitive skin with rosacea, which by the way looks way much better now
I know, I ask myself that question all the time, lol. I have figured out 3 1/2 months later, that strength Vit C is just too potent for my skin. Should have started with lower concentration. Have a wonderful day! 🌸
We’ll just use your high end products. Not all skin reacts the same way. Be sure to get something for all the crows feet you have all around your eyes. Make sure it’s high end but it doesn’t seem to be working
🙄🙄🙄
Ohmword how refreshing to hear of this product!! I am 65 years young but is getting harder to stop the aging process. It depressions me, I am vain I'll admit. Thank God both of my parents passed down good genetics. In my search for the magic ONE, I have spent way too much $ slapping on everything I could at a reasonable price somethings seemed to work, but stopped working, I felt. I just ordered some kinda snail 🐌 stuff but not feeling it so far. SO I'm going to try this!! I've been taking notes & reading other reviews & their information & helpfulness I'll let y'all know if I can remember lol lol 🤪
Thank u for your video! Btw what would you recommend me to purchase for my 61-year-old mom who is turning 62 now and I wanted to impress her 🥰
How much do you want to impress? A jar of La Mer is a luxury splurge. But so is a beautiful eye shadow compact from Estée Lauder. Big price difference between the two though, lol.
Hi, I'm new from England 😊. I think I have elephant 🐘 skin, I've tried most of the ordinary products for 6 months with no effect, I did a 'you' (!!) and I'd do my own thing with the 'Dracula Blood Red Exfolliant for more than 10 minutes mainly because I forgot to watch the clock, twice or 3 times a week 😯.... Nothing happened. I do have dry elephant skin tho, not sensitive. I've changed to the Revolution Serums and can see a difference....I don't know why as they are meant to be a total dupe for the ordinary, I think they're more serum like and feel softer, I found the ordinary more water like! It's hard work looking after your skin......!! Xx 🇬🇧 ps I think your skin looks gorgeous,, really soft and hydrated looking 💖. X
Thank you so much. I have also since decided that I like products that “feel good“ on my skin, so I think I would enjoy the more serum like products for revolution!
Daytime Let each application absorb,at last 2 min each b4 layering
Try: Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, a drop of 100% plant derived Squlene ,moisturizer with sunscreen...
The Hyaluronic Acid, and the Squlene, will both lock in the moisture...I too had elephant dry skin..
Oh and of course you are cleansing nightly with a gentle milky based cleanser, following it with a leave on exfoliant like Paula's Choice Daily smoothing Treatment with 5%Aha
PM: try the same routine, but replace the Vit C with the Niacinamide.. in the morning when u wake u will be hydrated, ur acid mantel in tact,
Simply splash water on ur face, light gentle water hydration and dab/ pat dry..have ur Am cup of Jo, do ur am
Routine...u will see and feel a huge change.
I am a licensed Esthetician.... and retired Beauty College educator and School Principal..give it a go,
U already have the priducts...🥰
Hi, my age is 25 and my skin is loose not wrinkles but loose please suggest me the best product of the ordinary buffet copper peptides or original buffet??
I think the copper peptides is the best for forming skin. Make sure you check website, they don’t mix with some skincare and may have to be alternated with certain products.
Sorry that you decided to mix the products. When I received my The Ordinary products I also made sure I researched how to use, when to use and what I can & cannot mix with. I have had no problems and I really enjoy the products.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the honest input. I’m 48 and want to start with using the Ordinary and get into a good routine and get the right products as there are so many of them. ☺️
Yes! I highly recommend checking out Pretty Over 50 for recommendations, she has a lot of videos on The Ordinary for mature skin and where to start videos!
Contact The Ordinary on their website. They really are good at recommending only what you need and they'll even email you a regimen on how to use the products and what should go where. That's what I did in February at the age of 49 - now 50. I'm so glad I did because I was getting lost on the website! I had already bought 4 products and it turned out that two of them would do nothing for my concerns. At least they were honest enough to say that to me too. Luckily I was able to pass those two products onto my teenage daughter so nothing went to waste. I now buy nearly all mine and her skincare from them.
I don't have time to decide which product to use for which day and time of day. The person giving the demo was very confusing.
Exactly!!! Which is why I poured all in my hand at once and burned my face....lesson learned for me!
Just received my first order for dry age skin used it my evening routine after this one use it's so amazing my skin looks and feels so much better looking forward to future
Ordinary forgot to mention lol
they are not sold everywhere... thats the reason.. lol
Oh, my goodness! You are exactly what I have been looking for!!! Honest reviews for skin care for my aging (just turned 60) skin. Looking forward to watching more from you.
Thank you Karen! 💕💕💕
Karen, I agree. She is just real.
The products are great when you know how to use them . Some products are for morning use, and retinols etc are used at night. There is a guide that you can print out from their page. But never mix if you don't know what reacts to other products.
Thank you for your video that makes me have interest to use Ordinary products. Would you please advise me what products I can start and how to use. Im nearly 60 with mix skin type i.e. oily in T part of face, hyperpigmentations, fine lines and wrinkles especially on the circles of eyes.
I am going to refer you to my friend, Kimberly at Pretty Over 50. She is 63, and has done a number of videos on the ordinary, and has a wealth of knowledge on so many more products. I can guarantee niacinimide will be at the top of any list! Here’s a good video to start with: What to Buy on Uour First Order: ruclips.net/video/QO68HnjDYiA/видео.html
If you contact The Ordinary via their website, they'll get you to upload photos. Tell them what concerns you want to address and they'll recommend products to you. They NEVER recommend stuff you don't need so you can trust them on that front. They won't be pushing stuff on you just for sales.
Hi 👋 Tan😍... I really don’t know why youtube recommended this video for me; but then I watched it till the end... This is indeed an awesome video... I was about commenting when I got captivated by your comment and I couldn't just pass by without writing you … I can tell you for a fact that; if I was a lady, I have learnt something cool... Makeup for women is pretty cool because it accentuates her natural features, but like a lot of men, I don't like seeing a heavy amount of it. Let the makeup highlight your natural beauty only… There's nothing in this world like it… I know it isn't right doing this here, but then where would have been the perfect place; My name is Jayden, do you mind if we connect, be friends and get to know more about ourselves and see where it takes us?
It is so confusing what to use when and with or with out. Wish someone would make a chart 7 days what and when. I can't keep track. But I do like the ordinary products.
Exactly!! I hear there is a Skincare app that will do that for you, though I haven't tried it. I'm going to guess its the one called Skincare Routine as it has over 100 products from DECIEM (parent company of Ordinary) pre-loaded.
Lisa Monique Beauty Oh that sounds great Thanks I will have a look. Thanks again love your videos.
@@christinekeleher3578 🥰🥰🥰
Christine, if you contact the ordinary they'll recommend products for you and they'll email you a regimen on how to use them. I did that in February and they emailed me one am routine and 3 pm routines to be alternated. Been working great for me. My skin didn't like the niacinamide. It keeps soaping up on me so I changed to Good molecules niacinamide toner instead.
I use my copper peptides with Vitamin C and Tretinoin.....did just fine
Oh good! I’m pretty sure I’ve use my copper peptides and tretinoin before, the new one for me was the vitamin C which I think I just bought a too strong formulation, Especially with all the research I’ve done since and have learned it is the active with the most chance of irritation. Stronger is not better!
Mam... r u still using retin a.. could U pls tell me ur experience with retin a. Are you noticing any benefits. Could I pls tell me if you have noticed any volume loss on face using retin a. I read some posts from people reporting they lost fat around mouth and under eyes by using retin a. So I am lil scared to try. Could u pls tell me if u have experienced anything like yhat
Radhika P My Retin-A is my holy grail product. I have not noticed volume loss, but I have noticed reduce wrinkles and pore size and silky soft skin. I don’t actually put it directly under my eyes or around my mouth, I put it more high on my cheekbone so it can migrate up towards my eyes and there’s fine wrinkles there, and I put above my brow bone. I find when it gets too close to my nose it gets really dry and almost like eczema, so I try and keep it away from that area. I have been using faithfully for 11 months now.
Peaches Skin Care y do u recommend retinol over retin a is it cz of irritation. Could u pls tell me this.. since u work on faces... have u noticed gaunt look on retin a clients... how does their face compare to non retin a users
Download the Skincare app. You select which The Ordinary products you are using as well as any other products & it will tell you which products you shouldn’t use together & tell you which order to use them for your AM & PM routines.
You are the third person to mention this app, I wish I knew about it months ago. I will download! 🥰🥰🥰
Hello... Could you please give the full name of the skincare app? Thanks 😊
What is the exact name of the app? Thanks in advance
@@ritamazzei6460 I don't know why she doesn't answer 👨⚖️
You don't read and answer my comments.. I don't follow you. 🙅♀️ No more likes from me 🙅♀️
What is the best alternative for Retin A? My insurance no longer approves it. Thank you ~
I buy it from Tarasc.com for $30. it was $150 if I had my prescription filled! And last year, my dermatologist gave me script for compound formula and it was only about $40 at compound pharmacy!
Off topic.......LOVE your hair style....lol....mine is similar but much thinner,😞
Thank you! I’ve been wearing it a little straighter this year, but overall it’s a similar cut!
I’m so glad I found this video ❤
I do like some of the Ordinary products, particularly the AHA/BHA peel and the Coffee serum. I think I'd like to try the vitamin C suspension as well.
I'll stick to using them separately though 😉. Thanks for sharing your experience with us Lisa!
Yes!! I have long ago learned my lesson 😂😂😂
I’ve used the caffeine serum for the bags under my eyes for 2yrs now. It works better than Lancôme or anything else I’ve ever tried, but I don’t use it every day. The other products get confusing to me.
Unfortunately if you are not dermarolling or microneedling before applying these products, most just sit on your skin until u wash them off. Especially true of the peptides. The antioxidants are good to use I dilute the Vit C with a moisturizer with plant extracts and caffeine , (Baxter's) otherwise it burns.
Michael Ortt I usually do dermaroll, but am glad I skipped during this fiasco!! I definitely will try and dilute Vit C with moisturizer to use up. Thanks for the tips!
Really, though, you were bound to fail, applying things in such a random way.
Exactly!!
The niacidamid can be used with mostly everything. Also the the copper peptides. I use the clycolic acid toner in the morning always, use glycolic acid 3 nights a week, and the Retinoid every other night. I am almost 50 but the ordinary has given me my youthfuI skin back, no more pores showing, no more fine lines. Niw.. I have to say, what you did to your skin is jaw dropping, like, next level idiot😂😂😂. Glad you are ok ☺️
Sometimes we all do things we regret! And products that work for one person are extremely irritating to another. I have since discovered Vitamin C is extreme irritating to my skin and if I avoid, my skin can tolerate most other actives. I now just use one serum with both niacinimide and copper peptides and my skin is very happy!
@@LisaMonique totally agree, what is good for the skin of one can be horrible for the skin of someone else ☺️. I am so lucky that i am not sensitive to anything, but even i found that i had to take my sweet time to have the skin get used to the glycolic acid, its strong stuff, and so is the vitamin c. Love watching your content, stay safe and take care now 🌹🥀
IM using niamicide mix with moiturizer then retinol it wrks well I think your using a lot
Agree!!! I have simplified my routine considerably since I made that video. I’ve also learned to listen to my skin. I pretty much just use niacinamide and a prescription retinol, Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid, and Desonide blend. With occasional AHA/BHA. My skin does a lot better now that I’m not experimenting with the skin care. That’s why you don’t see that many skin care videos anymore, though I’m getting ready for my annual skincare routine💕
I tried this and dried my face out so bad.
Ohy Gosh! I totally GET you LOL I am laughing with you not at you. I have SO done this same thing. Not with the ordinary but different products but the same acids... I too watch all he videos, I tell myself I should write this down. Oh I can just look them up again or Ill remember this. HAAA NOT...
And the older I get, the harder it is to remember!! Thanks for watching 🥰
These products are very strong! Oh, my! Instructions are important.
Yes!!! But they were so hard to find two years ago. They’ve actually updated the website to talk more about contradictions but it used to be you just had to do a ton of research before you put your skin care on and who wants to do that when your ready for bed 🤪
I have used all of these and more from The Ordinary, vit C in the morning, niacinamide in the PM, without any issues whatsoever ..love The Ordinary!!
I am sure if I didn’t use wrong, I wouldn’t have had any issues! Well, maybe the vitamin C was still in too strong for me, but it would be the typical reaction where you apply, get the light tingle, maybe some redness, and then you decide to cut back how often do you use. It is a great line!

Thank you!!! I guess I was thinking "what's the worst that could happen?" And then I found out! I'm done w/experimenting! 🥰
@@LisaMonique Thank God your okay & for warned is armed ...Bless you !
Why did you mix the products together? I think maybe you should talk to someone at The Ordinary or Sephora to find out which products are best for you. I would like to try them and I think I will do that. This was very confusing with all the products mentioned.
All we need is retinol/Retin A, a good moisturiser+sunscreen. In my opinion.
Oh I forgot- and hyaluronic acid!
May I ask, have you ever tried baking soda for skin exfoliation?
No, but I did want to try some more "DIY" remedies!
What were you thinking??? Any product is only as good as the way you apply!!! It’s not the product that is bad it’s your application!
Absolutely, and that is what I said in my video!
The user guide you can print out, for future trials, easy to follow.
They used to not have user guide or well organized website. They have changed it since this video was made
