For the love of God thanks for stating your age! I don't get why people don't want to say their age especially when talking about skincare.
I think people are afraid of the reaction. It took me a while but I am embracing where I am at. But our youth obsessed culture.....
Nice review! I am sure once the hype is over for The Ordinary their supply and demand issue will resolve. It is simply impossible for any company to accurately assess supply during the hype stage of a product. Hype can go on for months and then just die. At some point if the sales persist, The Ordinary can adjust accordingly. This is speaking purely from my experience and knowledge of business, supply and demand in this case.
As for spending the extra $ on DE, I think I would have to literally do a side by side test on my face to see if the benefits outweigh the cost. Honestly, I think it would be most advantageous to simply have both tested. I do think DE has quality products but struggle with their pricing. Not because I cannot afford it, but rather I maddens me to see how much they are charging for say their DE C which costs no more than $10 to make. Yes, I am including all cost here. Have I paid top dollar for products I think are effective? Absolutely, but only if I cannot not get a similar, just as effect product elsewhere.
There are many raw cosmeceutical sites you can visit to simply get a feel for cost. Check out lotioncrafter.com for example.
actually..u r lucky! oily skin helps when u r older w wrinkles! im 61 now and had oily skin..love your oily skin..lol
Very good point Kathy!
So glad you love the Drunk Elephant because I just bought some. And it is so delightful!!
I'm 57 and super oily. Sounds like something I should try!!!
Found The Ordinary Marula Oil at Beautylish. The limit to purchase is five. Thanks for your review. I really wanted the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil, BUT just couldn't justify the product cost. Thanks again!!
Hi! And thanks so much for your fabulous videos 👍 I just found your channel last week thru the 3-way colab and hit subscribe so fast lol. I just ordered Marla oil with my Vitacost order last night (I forget the brand). I'm almost 57 😱 And my skin is dry (Retin-A user). Pixi's rose hips oil never fully sinks into my skin so am looking forward to trying marula oil. Now ....on to your other Ordinary reviews (I love their products) 🤓
Great informative video! I do have the DE Marula oil and I love it but curious to try the Ordinary brand being that it is way more affordable! Can you do a comparisons video with the DE Baby facial vs. The Ordinary brand exfoliator and /or Paula's Choice version? :-)
I put two drops of the nude oil on the backs of my hands after watching you as I hadn't put any of my La Roche Posey on and it really helped! That was over 12hrs ago and they are still smooth👍🏼
Did you say you´re 38? I think you meant 28. Like seriously.
LOL, yes definitely 38 ;) Born in good old 1978. 28 was a good year tho lol!
MrKongsMom- you do look young! Good skincare and good genes!
wow Melanie your channel has grown soo much! keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! It's been exciting :)
Reallu, really great video. Love that you turn us on to great sources! Love and Blessings ❤❤❤
I use Seaberry oil from Fresh, I really like it. I use rosehip oil and I use Marula oil. I have the other brand sephora carries, st johns?? I do love marula, I think it does something special.
Im looking at adding Lotus oil from Clarins, it supposed to be skin balancing and I have oily skin.
i just love the Drunk elephant. I love Glycolic night serum and the Vitamin C day skin. I just love the products and i feel like it has the highest quality of ingredients and processing. i haven't tried the oil and i don't have the $70 but i am going to keep my eye out for the Ordinary back in stock
Thank you for doing this review. I am shopping around and comparing right now. I was considering the Drunk Elephant brand because I love their c serum. Apparently a few drops go a long way in the foundation over the primer. I have combination skin.
Thanks so much. I have considered adding oil and have a Josie Moran light oil. I have heard it can help oily skin. I will def check it out. I can't wait to hear more about the Ordinary Brand. I will try to do some research of it asap. Got a few things going on today. But hoping to get a chance. Thanks again. I'm trying to figure this skin care thing out as much as possible and usually it's endless. So many brands so many types. 🤷🏽♀️😍
Glad I found your video! Decided to randomly check beautylish and they had it in stock!! Planning to get the drunk elephant for sure but excited to try the ordinary version to start
You do have absolutely beautiful and flawless skin. It's easy to want to buy the products you recommend!
LOL, thanks so much Alicia :)
Ah, I am watching all these videos and all I have used is the acure and I love it so much this is really making me want to try the Drunk Elephant, I can't imagine something even better. I wish they were more affordable!
Gwen07 P if you want to try Drunk Elephant, Sephora sells a $40 smaller bottle. If you try it and don’t like it, it can be returned. Just keep your receipt. I’ve been using it for 6 weeks and my skin looks amazing! I’m 53 and my skin seriously looks better then when I was in my 40’s!
Thank you for this extensive review-ordered it today!!
I've had good luck with Beautylish emailing me when items are back in stock. I want to get my hands on that oil actually I'd love to try both brands.....one day.
You look so Amazing!!! Your skin is flawless, i will be taking your advice. Thank you for this review
This was helpful. I’ll probably get it today, the last day of the Sephora sale!:)
DE is expensive, but I bought mine in october and still have almost 1/3 of a bottle left. I add 2-3 drops in with the DE tlc night serum as they suggest and works amazing. my under eyes also love it.
So basically the only difference is how fast they absorb? I know Drunk Elephant's is probably technically better (less refined, more nutrients) but is Ordinary's as "special" for your skin? Would you say it gives you e.g. 80% the results as the Drunk Elephant?
Aden J Purcell the ordinary is really dedicated to using good ingredients so I'm sure there's is just as cold pressed and "pure" I've tried and have both for several weeks and truly think they do the exact same thing. The only difference is in the experience of putting it on, the DE feels more "lux", and like she said sinks in to the skin more, but I really don't mind the oily look for sleeping lol and I have dry skin. So sticking to the ordinary
Thanks! I found your review very helpful!
I tried the DE marula oil based on your recommendation - I'm not even joking - this stuff has changed my skin for the better. You're absolutely right - this has balanced my skin and my skin absolutely makes my skin look younger. Thank you so much for this review. I'm very interested in trying the ordinary brand marula oil - if I don't love it as much as DE, I'll just use it on my body. I want to bathe in this stuff!!! Will you do a review on the TLC Sukari Babyfacial? I'd love to know your thoughts before I consider purchasing.
Kimberly G Hi! Can i ask what climate is your country in? And whats your skin type? ..im interested in marula oil, i have dry skin with oily tzone in new zealand
What are your thoughts on the Black Pine Oil by Korres because I'm also interested in their new Wild Rose 15% Vitamin C Spotless Serum...slightly cheaper than Sunday Riley C.E.O and C-Firma by Drunk Elephant. Looking for a good vitamin C serum.
I love the ordinary oil I buy it all the time on eBay being 67 I use it just before I apply my makeup and I use it before I go to bed on my clean skin it's even great to put it in my hair in the roots
Right, their Email notification never works, NEVER 👎 what's the matter deciem, please just fix it!
I have had success with the email response. i think they are just flooded with orders. Great products IMO
I always get the e mails as well when things are back in stock. I even out in for the new foundations and the same day it came out I was able to buy 8 of them and I also got the serum foundations as well. They did say 2 weeks for before getting it so hopefully this week I'll get a big box. I actually did a review on their skincare. Not everything I like. The Marula oil is just like the drunk elephant but a little thicker. The Drunk Elephant goes into skin faster. It doesn't sit on skin as long as the ordinaries but for the price it's close enough. Everything she said i agree with.
I think they both have their uses. The DE is better for the face because of the fast absorption. To me the Ordinary would be better for the body, since treating the wrinkles ONLY on your face to me is dumb.... You should look good from head to toe, not just your face. Just saying! :)
I was wondering about the ordinary's marula! My drunk elephant IS beloved. So luxurious! It would be nice to give my card a breather tho! I'm gonna give it a try when I run out. Probably. Maybe. :)
I've been using an argan oil mix, but not a fan. It does not absorb well, so using just every other night minimally. Need one I like, but this mix I have is good for the backs of my hands and decollete.
I’ve never used the Ordinary one but I do have a sample size of the DE Marula oil and I’m dreading the day it’s all gone. It’s so amazing. 😭
Naturally Quilo DE at Sephora sells a smaller bottle for $40 if you don’t want to spend $72. I just love how this oil has changed the look of my skin! I’m 53 and my skin looks better then it did in my 40’s!
Lisa Dearing OMG! I could just kiss you right now! Thank you honey.💕That’s most definitely a better price lol. I will be ordering some more. You’re right! DE did an amazing job with their Marula oil. My feelings were hurt when it was all gone😢😂
Naturally Quilo I’m wondering why it took me so long to try Marula Oil!😁My skin just drinks it up! I used to have to use blotting paper in the afternoon but not anymore! Also, my concealor goes on so much better! No more crepey undereyes or eyelids! I recently had an AT&T technician say there was no way I looked old enough to have kids that are 25 and 29! I swear this Marula Oil is the answer to my prayers! Hope your order comes in quick! I look forward to using it every night after I take my makeup off! I don’t want to be one day without it! You have a fantastic day!☺️
Okay, I broke down and bought the drunk elephant maralu tonight. I had the sample and did wonders for my under eyes.
I love it so much too. It really is incredibly soothing and healing on the skin.
pinkfunshopping I totally agree! My concealer doesn’t look crepey anymore! I’ve been using DE Marula Oil for 6 weeks and LOVE it! It’s now a regular part of my skin care routine!
holy sh*t i spat out my tea when you said 38!!! right I'm going to watch all your videos now because you look so young and beautiful
Guess I'm one of the lucky one cause I did get notified from the Ordinary that it was in stock. I even got an email letting me know that their foundation was in. Placed my order for both types, can't wait to get them. I've heard great reviews about it. Love the Ordinary line but I still use the Vitamin C from Drunk Elephant and switch between them and the Timeless Vit. C. Being on a budget with these budget friendly sites is amazing. I do splurge now and then. Just found your channel. Your hair is lovely, is that your natural color? I'm 63 and my greys are so bad, getting tired of having to pay once a month to get them dyed and what they charge is crazy plus it doesn't last but a couple of weeks then I'm having to spray the roots till next appointment. I was thinking about having my hairdresser to die it like your color so I don't have to color greys anymore. I have dark brown/black hair. Thank you
I am so glad that you are having a great experience with the line overall. It is certainly affordable. Yes, it's my natural color :) I went gray at 25 and kept coloring it for years and finally just gave up two years ago and let it grow out. I am so glad I did. I would never go back to my blonde :) I am just going to embrace what it is :)
Your hair is beautiful, going to show my hair stylist and tell him this is what I want and see what he says and if he can do it.
MrKongsMom your hair looks beautiful and it brings out and enhances your eye color in a way blond didn't 😉.
I will be 38 in October, I feel very old 😐and I've tried to take care of my skin more now than before, I noticed a small sun spot on my face & I've recently added rosehip oil which I found @ tjmaxx I've been loving it I see a difference, would you recommend using any other type of oil maybe like a vitamin c, or something else, & would you also recommend any brand that you've seen at tjmaxx, thanks so much Melanie you have been my favorite 💕
Hi,I m a bit confused....they say you should apply oil as the last step of your skin care routine but then they also say you should apply skincare in order of consistency...from the lightest to thickest. I use cerave moisturizing cream and this Marula oil and I m not sure how to apply it correctly.
Also,if I want to use it in the morning where I apply sunscreen too,how should I go about it? Thank you 😊
Oil after moisturizer as the oil is more occlusive than your moisturizers is. In the morning you have to put the oil on before sunscreen. Sunscreen is always last. Make sure you let the oil fully absorb first.
I've had the same issue with not being e-mailed when back in stock. More than one item and on several occasions.
I have dry skin. I'm definitely going to look into Marula oil. Personally, I found that my skin didn't absorb Argan, Maracuja, or Rose Hip oils. I don't know if it's because I have such small pores or what.
Ann Aplaingirl Try Squalene oil, its supposed to have a smaller molecule.
Thank you!
Great suggestion!
Great video! So overall you'd say that the ordinary still absorbed quickly and didn't leave a greasy/oily residue?
Yes, its the closest to the DE so far.
So informative. Thank you 😊
I bought the reship seed oil and hate the way it smells. It smells like fish
Woo Hoo I'm doing this too...well sorta LOL I don't have The Ordinary one in my possession so it's not a comparison per se but just about Drunk Elephant in general. I do have a question for you :) I'm using DE and love it but what is it about DE that would make you repurchase it over saving $62 and getting The Ordinary one instead since it's a pretty close dupe? I personally love the packaging, the reservoir dropper and the feel of DE brand but I do not have another brand to compare it to...is it really $62 better? It would be hard to say positively unless you used one on each side of your face for the same amount of time and then compared the difference in how they behaved I suppose. Thanks Melanie :) xoxox Mary
For me, I really do think I would repurchase the DE in the future. I know there are people who say otherwise but I do think there is a quality difference in the oil. There is a difference in the purity of the oil and the extraction process. I believe DE's is actually patented from what I remember. Packaging is also a plus with DE. That being said, if I was put on a super strict budget tomorrow and could no longer afford the DE, I would totally 100% get the ordinary one. It would likely give roughly the same results in the long run. I totally get the trend of backlash against companies overcharging for stuff. But I do believe that often times there is a quality difference, obviously a packaging difference and its just a different market these companies are trying to target. Its a luxury product. Not everyone wants that or needs it. I like to have some luxury stuff because I think its special. That's not a popular opinion but that's ok, luckily I don't really give a hoot what others think lol. Not everything I own is fancy or expensive. Nor do I want it to be. But I do like to treat myself. I work very hard with my business and if for me something is worth splurging on, then I will :)
I agree...so tell me this...I really love this stuff. How long does the product last you? I'm using 5 drops at night only right after the Framboos and then after it sinks in a very small pump of the LaLa to seal it all in. It was something I had to save up for (the line) and if I could get the line to stretch to the 6 month mark I might be able to continue using it LOL I don't think I'm imagining the amazing results I'm seeing with my skin even though it's just been a couple of weeks.
I am still on my first bottle that I got in December. And still have a huge amount left. I only use about 4 or 5 drops as well. I expect a bottle of it to easily last me a year if not slightly more. The shelf life of the DE is also longer than other marula oils. I think it has to do with the overall quality of the oil and again, packaging.
Yippee thanks Melanie!! That means I can most likely afford to stay with it! I heard somewhere in my research that it has a shelf life of 3 years though I think the bottle says 2 but that's a incredible!
Thank you for the information!
They were out of stock yesterday morning and I agree they never ever e-mail when items come back in stock.
Hello! New Subbie here! Do you prefer the Drunk Elephant Murula oil more than the John Selects' brand?
So far I've tried the hyaluronic acid and the niacinamide from The Ordinary and was quite underwhelmed with both. I've been trying to get my hands on the marula oil, but no luck yet.
Terri Peach it's in stock right now (as of 8/19/17), I ordered it last week.
You don't look 38 at all! I honestly thought you meant to say 28! I had to replay it a couple of times because I thought I heard wrong!
I will take 28 lol! Nope, born in 78. Definitely 38 ;)
Tarte has a great oil too!
Which do you prefer the marula oil by Marula or the drunk elephant one and what are the differences in the two
If you use other treatments on your face, like Retinol, etc., do you think you should do the treatment first and then the oil? What is your routine? Great video.
Elizabeth Myers oil should always be last in your routine. I do have my evening skincare routine from a few weeks ago that shows the order I apply in.
MrKongsMom wow! I've been applying it wrong... I've been doing toner, essence, serum, oil, moisturizer.
Classique Mistak what about the Korean method? It's 11 steps in the morning and 13 at night. People I know who follow the regimen have ridiculously flawless skin
I currently have a oil blend from Oskia which is ok. I feel like it's going to last forever but I will try The Ordinary when it's finished. Do you also use a moisturiser? If so, do you use the oil before or after a moisturiser? I've heard that nothing can sink in after an oil but it might depend on how well the oil is absorbed.
I do :) I will use moisturizer first. And really make an effort to give each product a minute or so to sink in before applying the next. I always put oil last. Not much can get past the oil once you apply that.
MrKongsMom Thanks Melanie.
Do you put the drops on your fingers or directly on your skin?
Fingers. Then apply.
Marula pure marula oil is the best. It’s the real stuff look on Amazon
I used the drunk elephant oil and it's great. I'm currently using the ordinary rosehip oil and I like it (but not more than DE) Have you tried UFO from Sunday Riley?
Where in your routine do you use your oil? I'm very oily but I think you've convinced me to try one. Thanks Melanie 😀
I use it at the very end and in the evening only. It's the last thing I apply before going to bed. I did do a recent evening skincare routine a couple weeks ago that might help :)
Last comment, haha. I noticed you have the Marula oil that we got in our boxycharm a while back. I have yet to open mine. What's your opinion on it?
I like it a lot. Still using it frequently in rotation with all my other oils.
Hi, new to using oils. I've started using cold pressed olive oil and noticed skin tightening and firmness. Also, gives my skin a hydrating look without any oiliness. As a photographer, I recommend the models use it.
Is this oil better than olive oil? Have you ever used olive oil?
I don't use olive oil on my face. I don't care for the smell of olive oil so I would never use it on my body personally.
I didn't find that olive oil absorbed well on me.
Hey! I just got my Marula oil. What order do I use My ordinary products. I bought the ordinary toner too. do I wash, tone then add the oil?
Yes. That order.
You are so youthful. What moisturiser do you use?
I use quite a few different one's. Murad, Dr. Dennis Gross, Biossance, Tula. I also love squalane oil currently, more so than marula at this point in time.
Hi. I've only just discovered Drunk Elephant products and your channel! I got the mini products to try. I have very oily skin. When you apply the marula oil, does your skin look oily? Mine does, even when I use it sparingly. Is that normal?
That's normal. It takes a while to sink into my skin, which is why I prefer it only at night. But it does eventually absorb into my skin.
Could u share your collection with us in a video???
38 ?!! You look so young! You are beautiful !
How long did it take for you to wait to notice that the product you wanted from the ordinary was back in stock??
I checked fairly frequently. They themselves did not notify me.
MrKongsMom oh alrighty! Thanks for the reply :-)
What is photo aging? I've heard this term a lot lately but have no idea what it is!
Photo aging is damage done by repeated exposure to UV rays. It's sun damage :(
MrKongsMom thanks so much! You'd think they'd just call it sun damage haha. Great video! Love how you stick to the point and are very informative.
I'm really confused. there is an article on line by Paulas Choice that debunks 5 myths about using retinol and AHAS or vitimin C together. This article says the opposite of what you said. it goes into detail about the PH issues and everything and states that these products work great together, and increases the effectiveness of these products when combined. Thoughts??
this ? is in response to your last video about what not to mix...
PC does have differing opinions on certain things. The info in that video is a collection of generalizations I found in the vast majority of blogs and different websites I read. I think something to keep in mind is if the ingredients are specifically formulated to work together in one product, then its probably safe. But I don't think in general most brands keep in mind that people may use several ingredients from across differing brands when formulating. Use together what works best for you. If you find your retinol and AHA work well together, use them. I play the better safe than sorry card because I use so many different things from different brands. I like to alternate evenings for products anyway so this works well for me.
ok! That makes sense. Thank you for responding. I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos. I'm 51 yrs old and I try to take extra care with my skin This video was right up my alley!
Do you still use moisturizer after the oils ?
I use them before oils from time to time. But most evenings these serve as my moisturizer.
Have you used any Korean skincare?
I have not :)
I love doing korean skincare. right now I'm reviewing the ordinary which has its hits and misses but I do mix them in with some of my CosRx korean skincare
Deciem is the WORST at customer communcation. Conversely, DE is the BEST. No kidding, emails returned within ten minutes!
Don't shout. We can hear you. But honestly thanks for the comparison. Best one so far.
