I don't hate The Ordinary! I don't necessarily love it either, but I do believe it serves a very important role in the skincare industry. Times are changing and people are getting a lot more educated about the ingredients in their products. This brand is all about accessibility and transparency. It also requires YOU the consumer to be very proactive about educating yourself.

y'all if you email the ordinary and tell them what products you use they'll give you a full skincare routine and tell you the order in which you apply the products and how to alternate between them etc
What's their email and what should we ask?
@@awesomeallyse go to the deciem website and click on contact us, choose "products + regimens" and then "how should i use my products". a form thingy should pop up and you just type in your email, products you already use or wish to use and they'll email you a skincare regimen with these products.
awesomeallyse or you can just direct message them via Instagram. I did that & I got a reply in less than an hour 🧡.
Best comment on here!
this is so unbelievably helpful! thank you.
So many people freaking out!! She didn’t say « stop using The Ordinary, it’s bad for your skin! ». She said to be cautious, especially if you’re new to skincare, and don’t use every damn product at once.
So if you bought 2 of their products yesterday, chances are you’re safe!!
armiichou exactly it went over their heads 😂🤣
I feel it’s the same advice a skin professional would give when it comes to acids with a stronger %.
Acids are no joke
@@emeliaswaba1518 most people with concerns commented before the video went live. I mean, look at that thumbnail!
Hajira S. It’s best to comment when you watch it,assumptions are bad😂
@@emeliaswaba1518 i agree! Im watching now!
It did not go over people’s heads - she should have stated how it should be used.
The ordinary website literally explains every product to the fullest. They always have in the description what to mix it with, what NOT to mix it with, how often to use it. I’ve been using them for 4 years and it has changed my skin dramatically. For the better of course. So read through each product!
Well said!!
Exactly but people hate reading.... except in comment sections apparently 😂
Yeah, tbf the instructions are very clear and informative. People are just too lazy to actually read it.
Well said. Reading is fundamental!
You expect customers to read?
I'm so happy I found a black skin care channel ☺️
May right!!!!! It’s awesome 🥰
Same! I don't really care about makeup anymore, I want to learn how to care for and pamper my skin.
Next, find a black skin care line.
BAM 24 BAM 24 why do you have a problem with what she said. You’re saying “next, find a black skin care line” as if they don’t exist.
@@ahoufe_jay she's saying that's the next best step...
I can’t believe you have to tell ppl not to use all the products at once. But I get it, it’s so cheap you wanna buy them all to see what works. The Ulta I go to sold out in a couple days when they first started stocking them. I love love love The Ordinary. I started off with just the Niacinamide which greatly reduced my oil production. I just bought a bunch of other products and plan to only use one or two at any given time. And yes there’s lots of great information on the website that’s very helpful. Glad you’re putting this info out there 💕
Yes girl, there's a lot of people out there who dont do enough research on skincare and what can be used together and how often to use them. I currently use the niacinamide as well and I love it!
I only use 3 or 4 but never all at the same time. I use the buffet in the morning and niacinamide + the magnesium with zinc at night. And those have helped so much with my oil production. But she is 100% right people mix everything (my friend) was mixing actives with other actives you should mix and would complain that she was breaking out. I had to lecture her on what can be mixed and what cant and told her to stop using scrubs everyday (she used then twice a day!!!)
I agree but I think people do that because when the ordinary first became popular a ton of beauty youtubers were buying like most to all of the products in the range and reviewing them and so I’m sure their viewers thought it was ok to do that but in my head I remember thinking that literally makes no sense because not everything is for every skin type and of your go on their website they even have mini regimes for specific skin concerns as a guide.
Julia mild cleanser twice a day, light exfoliating cleanser maybe every two days in the evenings, toner after wash, and I alternate my serums. During the day I use niacinamide under my moisturizer, just starting to use hyaluronic acid nightly, plus light moisturizer. Face masks 1-2 times a week. Only thing I haven’t been good about is using spf. I’m going to try Olay whip moisturizer
I saw your name and thought, "Did I already comment on this?" I can't believe there is another Samara C out there.
Great information. Really appreciate it. Side note: as a makeup artist I, would recommend that you reconsider your foundation/powder or lighting. Your gorgeous face looks grey compared to your neck and chest.
Camille A. I honestly don’t really care that much.
Yes exactly. Bad match
I think it is her mineral sunscreen. It happens to me and sometimes!
@@trinitykelly8150 Nah she's just stating it doesn't bother her LOL hardly rude.
All I thought was what a beautiful young lady and it’s great that she’s giving me this info about the ordinary.. She’s killin’ it! Plus I’m just grateful she’s not using that orange foundation that is making people look really weird
My skin has been so happy using the ordinary know I got to wait to see whats the tea
I'm almost finished with the zinc and niacinamide bottle. I was not expecting any great results, but WoW...I'm 100% happy with it. My skin looks so good.
I just bought that and the peeling solution have been using it for a few days and I break out for every thing so for so good.
Well after trying it for a week my skin is amazing lol marks are still there but it’s so much smoother I have one or two pimples and none under my skin u used to have so many and a lot under the skin it was fustrating and all I used was the microderma face wash it’s a black and white bottle and the nimac andzinc and the peeling solution and it’s amazing next step is the marks
@@sweetz9325 heads up, the peeling solution can break you out too (or rather, cause a purge since it exfoliates and has both aha and bha). it wont mean you should stop using the product alltogether but watch your skin. also, dont overuse the peeling solution, its a very stron concentration of glycolic acid and its so easy to overexfoliate and damage your skin
J C do you recommend for sensitive skin?
stillstanding84 are you the blue skittle?
I am so happy she talked about the eye dropper, I always found it gross whenever I saw people putting it on their face. I love the ordinary but because I am really into skin care I make it my business to know what I am putting on my face. Great video! Also don’t forget sunscreen people!
How do I apply the product without putting the dropper on my face please
@@evangelineetwire1219 drop it from above onto your face
@@tatianagreen276 thanks
Evangeline Etwire drop it into your hands
The purging🤦🏾♀️ so excited to hear what you have to say Queen! Educate me!
amy Klick me too
Yes Yes and Yes.... As an avid skincare junkie, I've come to learn that less is MORE. And this is coming from a oily/combo skin person!! Great video. Even though I'm oily, hydrating has made a world of a difference.
Personally, I think that a lot of people get fooled by The Ordinary's very accessible price point into thinking that their products are as easy to use as they are easy to acquire. But it's very important to have a good understanding of what various skincare ingredients do and individual skincare needs before getting started. And honestly, most people don't have that knowledge. The brand makes an effort to advise and educate, but I think that there will probably always be people who get in over their heads or get put off The Ordinary entirely because they lack the information necessary to put their products to best use.
That being said, based on what's written in the description, I expect this is going to be another entirely sensible video filled with excellent, practical advice.
literally was just saying this in another comment. just bc it’s cheap and you can afford 10 products doesn’t mean you should use 10 products hahah
THIS.
I'm so glad someone is saying this 👏❤. But yes, exactly *everyone* she's not saying to stop using the brand. She's just saying to know your stuff. Watch till end 😘
My dermatologist went over the ingredients with me. We agreed upon a routine and products. We just need to be intelligent about anything that goes on or in our body. I love the products.
I mean, if you go to a Deciem store, everyone in the store encourage you to buy one or two products. Even though they have a lot of products, the brand doesn't tell you to buy all, they are always saying you have to keep it simple. People get crazy because is cheap and wants to use it all, but it is not a matter of the brand is more about people being aware of what they want to put in their face.
Oh no😭😭 my whole skincare routine consists of these products. I- 🥴🥴🥴 🥴
Edit: I don't think the products are bad. People are probably just misusing them. Like you are not supposed to mix acids, or use more than one of them on the same day and you're not supposed to mix the retinoids.
Tricey Bear yes girl you’re fine! just follow the right rule! they have regimen guides and info about each product on the same page so like i read all the contraindications and stuff. i’m on tretinoin which can ravage your skin until you adjust but they’re (especially the niancinamide) helping a lot :-) i think ppl just go wayyy too wild with it since it’s so cheap
Definitely listen to your skin too! Their company says it's fine to use AHA and their niacinamide together but for me, they burned my skin when used in the same routine. They both help a lot tho, so I just have to go with what my skin is telling me and use them on different nights
So because it is affordable does that make it not good?.. my go to product- The ordinary
Ikeoluwa Oni She’s saying they’re awesome, the issue is how people are using them. 😉
I mix all my acids but my skin is super forgiving when it comes to that. This is not typical so don’t try it! I will say one acid that I EXTREMELY careful with is resveratrol, it is a demon in disguise if not used with caution. I was warned and thought I could handle it because of my history with acids, I had no negative reaction till about 5-6 days of daily use and it was pretty bad, my skin was FRIED. (Now I use it maybe once a month and I dilute 1 drop of resv. with 3 drops of squalene oil, and when I’m feeling brave I’ll do vit c instead of squalene) Literally my skin felt like I had been burned with actual heat, very rough in texture and sore. Took me about 2 weeks to shed that, and only because I forced my skin to make new cells via retinoids. Had I not used anything it would’ve taken even longer, you’ve all be warned! Good day!
I won't lie, almost my entire skincare regimen consists of The Ordinary, aside from my cleansers. BUT, as she said, you have to know what you're doing when mixing products. I've used vitamin c and retinoid in more potent formulas in the past, so my skin had an easy time transitioning to their products. It's also important to remember that it can't reAlly cure hormonal acne, but it can help improve skin texture and health to make it more manageable.
I use, in this order:
AM Routine
-Rinse face with cool water or Shishedo Oil Cleanser
-The Ordinary Hylauronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
-The Ordinary (Vitamin C Serum) Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate 20% + Vitamin F
-Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry Touch Sunscreen
-The Ordinary "B" Oil
PM Routine
-Double Cleanse with Shishedo Oil Cleanser and Mario Badusce Seaweed Cleanser
-The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
-The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% + Squalene Oil
-The Ordinary "B" Oil
-Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream
Occasionally I'll use their Caffeine Under Eye Solution if I didn't sleep well, or their Niacinimide Solution, but usually only when I run out of Retinoid and am waiting for it to arrive. It's a decent place holder to keep my acne from flaring up.
for AM routine, I think you could stay away B oil, cause oil will be decrease the activation of your sunscreen
The "B" oil needs to come before the spf
@@tiffanybond2982 agreed!
And the Hylauronic acid needs to come after the vit c serum not before it. Products should be applied lightest to thickest
Tiffany Bond not correct. PH dependent actives like Vitamin C with ascorbic acid or AHAs go first, yes. Vitamin C derivatives though not necessarily and her Vit C is in an oil base so using the HA serum first which is water based first is correct.
So grateful for all of the information you freely share!! It’s been life changing. Thank you!!!!
Great video.
I’ve been using just The Ordinary products for over 2 years now and the change in my skin in incredible. I currently have the best skin I’ve ever had.
♥️
I saw some negative comments and I wonder if they watched the entire video.
This was a very fair and knowledgeable video about using The Ordinary products. Not only was it thoughtful, but it's also exactly what the consumer needs to hear. I watched enough RUclips videos on these products to know that people are doing exactly what she says their doing. From this video alone I want to see this young lady get more airtime. Cheers to you, sis.
About the dropper : THANK YOU. I never understood why so many people put it directly on their face.
I know it became a trend "for the gram" but it defeats the purpose of having a skincare routine at all..!
And thank you for this vid as a whole.
I really wanted to get serious about my skincare regimen,
but found it foolish to spend a lot while trying to figure out what would work best for me.
After doing my research, gathering all the useful info I could get (here on YT, twitter etc) from
knowledgeable people like you:), I zoomed in on The Ordinary.
Keeping my am & pm routine very simple with their products is working wonderfully.
And their website is now more helpful than it was before
(for example, explaining which products should not be used at the same time, etc).
Really happy with it all!
I use 9 products from The Ordinary. It has taken me 3 years to get to that point. I started with just a few products, and I made sure that I only used the acid, vitamin C, and retinol every other day and not together. At this point, I can used them every day now, and I can mix most products together now. I did TONS of research on which products would work best for me.... lots of time reading articles and watching videos. The best part is now I feel really knowledgeable about skincare ingredients now!😱
Good info. I gave up on The Ordinary and acids after using the products consistently for a year and so no change in my hyperpigmentation. I also got fed up of opening and closing all those silly little bottles lol. Stripped my regimen right back esp acids. Relying on restoring skin barrier by nice gentle cleansing (iS Clinical) and sunscreen. I'm over the layering and million and one ingredients.
This video is so damn needed. I get so damn tired of folks coming to me trying to figure out why their face is going to shit but are using 9 different products from The Ordinary.
This is why I stick to Paula's choice and The Inkey list
That doesn't mean they need to switch from TO to PC, but maybe use 3-4 TO products (maybe one active, one serum, and a hydrator) rather than 9 (5 actives, 3 serums, and a hydrator). The trouble is, the products TO offers can all sound tempting. Combat oiliness, brighten, exfoliate, reduce fine lines, etc all with a different product targeting that one concern and each product under $10!? It's too much and to easy to want to try it all.
The Ordinary works best when you pick one or two concerns and make a routine to treat them. I wanted to even my skin tone, so I picked a vitamin C serum and all my other products were tailored to help the vitamin C work better. Now I'm looking happy with my skin tone, I'm looking to add some retinol or acid and am researching how I'd like to set up my next skin care routine to suit the active I choose. And I can do it on a budget thanks to The Ordinary. I could do something similar with other brands, like PC, but I'd be paying a lot more for it and not always for the better. Like Paula's Choice antioxidant serum has both vitamin c and niacinamide and those ingridents do not enhance the effectiveness of the other, but rather the opposite. Or PC has lots of extracts, which sounds nice, but don't have a lot of evidence to back up their usefulness on skin and can even cause irritation. I love Dr. Dray for info about extracts.
People lacking common sense isn't the fault of the brand
People just get carried away because of the price point and think it’s best if they buy the whole line at once. The brand isn’t at fault, but these clueless people are. I only use 2 products from the ordinary and my skin is just fine!
O was sitting here thinking I was exempt from being dragged as a skin care consumer then you mentioned the dropper 😅 I'll do better. Mad It didn't even occur to me lmao
It’s sad Brandon Truaxe died. He really brought something to us.
Acme he died??
omg i saw their cold pressed rosehip oil and i read that it has a lot of linoleic acid in it and i remember you talking about that in your oil cleansing video! thanks to a bunch of research and watching youtubers like you Nay, Hyram and James Welsh have definitely made me more knowledgeable about what skin type i have and what i should do to improve my skin care routine and focus on what problems areas i have!
Ehhh omg, she is talking so well about the topic and yet all I can focus on is that perfect skin she has... XD need to watch again!
I tried the most popular products: Niacinamide and Zinc, toning solution, primer, argireline, peeling solution. Not at the same time but no matter what it was horrible for my skin. I went back to Paula's Choice to to fix the damage.
Been using the Ordinary brand for about 3yrs now .have about 20 of different products. Yes you have to know what works with what you can't mix and use certain products with each other. When I first started I called the company to see what to use with what and how often to use because I also use Renta-a ,they have very good customer service .a great brand for the price .I'm 60 and have no wrinkles and very plump hydrated skin .I swear by this brand .no need to spend crazy money to get products full of fillers
Mayqueen 00 not sure how you’ve been using The Ordinary 5 years when the brand just turned 3 years old...
Thank you so much for this information. I have only one acid, Salicylic acid, and use it with between Niacinamide (for day) and Vit C suspension (for night) and BOOM! Just those 3 did the magic for me.
Can you explain the routine please
@@hamnakhan3656 I use Salicylic acid + Niacinamide for day & Salicylic acid + Vit C 23% Suspension for night. I end both day and night routine with a moisturizer.
Weekly: AHA30%-BHA10% once a week
Ifeoma Adeyinka thank you I use the same products and this made me use them in routine easier and simpler ☺️
Ifeoma for what (problem) you use this routine? Or what kind of skin u have?
Ordinary broke me out to the 10th power. I had boils coming out my face that I never had in my entire life. After six long months getting my face back to normal it was a huge effort of work. I’m now working on the marks left behind. You are right. It truly was the mixture of the chemicals without having knowledge of skincare. At least, not when it comes to mixing and matching retinol/retinal/AHA & everything else. You have to almost be a chemist. Good advise!
What product of ordinary did u use ?
Hi! It was mostly my fault. I was not educated enough how to use actives that caused the reaction. I have since then re-introduced the ordinary products back into my skincare regime. I’m doing much better now, that I understand what products works well with each other. I was using retinol, AHA’s, BHA’s and other acids that I knew nothing about. I created a bomb on my face that caused the breakout.
@@sharonchase174 oh thank u for ur reponse blessings!
Thank you I was so confused when I was told about their website and I looked on it. This helps so much. My skin is already better because of the 60 second rule.
100% agree with everything you said. The Ordinary is appropriate for filling gaps in a routine but an entire routine should not be built around this brand. I also feel Marine Hyaluronics is more hydrating & more effective than HA 2%, but MMHC is definitely the best one. Also, I think Hylamide deserves more attention! Lastly, whoever recommends products and how to use them over at Deciem's team doesn't take the skin's barrier into consideration. They recommend too many acids, they tell people to use them too often, and recommend way more products than necessary in general. I understand that their job is to sell, but it's so irresponsible.
I thought everyone knew this ! I use one serum in the AM and my retinol at night 🙃
I read everything on the site when I was choosing products. And read the regimen multiple times.
I love the Ordinary but absolutely was not educated enough when I first dove into their products. Thank you for providing this guidance on shopping with them! I definitely think the low price-point makes us think we need to buy all of it and try all of it, but a couple of years after first using their products, I have removed the products my skin really didn’t need from my routine and now just have a few firm favourites from the brand :)
How do people dislike before it starts?? That's ridiculous.
To be fair, there were close to 60 Likes two hours before the video premiered. 😂
@Amara That's true for most RUclipsrs with a channel this size. 😒
Why do you think you're personally entitled to get an answer to your questions? She does have a full-time job and hundreds, if not thousands of comments per video. She asks for questions in the comments section, but that's generally done to gauge people's interest in different topics, not so she can provide you with concierge skincare advice.
@@TsubataLately
Why do you think you're entitled to insult her for one comment???
Stop kissing ass.
Queen nothing about that response was an insult.
I only use the glycolic acid and niacimide. The niacimide helps with my cystic acne.
Really ? It caused mine lol
Just remember, that a professional touches your skin perhaps once a month, if you can afford to see one but you touch your skin every day, two times a day. I have always believed that the slower approach is best. Allow your skin to adjust.... it takes time to treat any skin condition and concern. Devon mentioned many great treatments. I think that you have to consider your options and see what fits your budget.
On a different note, the client that I mentioned. His mother came to visit me and told me I saved his life. He started going out , talking with family and visiting them. He was not like this before! They all were noticing that his face improved but also his confidence. We don’t always know peoples situations but we all have different options. If you’re going with skincare don’t give up the first month, try it for half the year.
Ordinary customer service is way much better than other skincare companies
I think the ordinary company empower regular ppl to take their skin care personally. .rather than just depending on docs to solve problems which may bleed a lot of people pockets..
The site is pretty user friendly ...
This was a good video..caution is always needed in everything
Im so happy you mentioned Paula's Choice. They have such great products that are tailored to your needs. I love them. I tried the ordinary and they are not bad products but i think my skin did much better with PC. And i love their BHA and AHA serums. Overall great video.
Kimberly Calderon bha aha from the ordinary or paula’s choice?
@@michellebunay paulas choice.
I don't have the patience to mix and layer so I prefer to buy products that have all the acids that I need. I do love The Ordinary's Argan Oil. If you haven't tried NIOD's MMHC2, you are missing out!
I’ve read all my products I selected been using them for months now and My Skin Is Flawless!!!!!!🥰
I love how thorough you are when educating us! I’ve been using The Ordinarys glycolic toner and 10% LA together but haven’t really noticed a difference. I’m going to use them separate and see how my skin reacts.
Love their rose hip oil because it’s hella cheap👌🏼
So true, I RUINED my skin when I was 17-18 by overusing their salicylic acid, glycolic acid, a benzoyl peroxide cream and other things like azelaic acid and niacinimide because I didn’t really understand what they did and thought the more I used the more it would work, fast forward past an awful period of me dealing with rashy and painfully irritated skin for months and months, now I have repaired my skin barrier and only use once exfoliating acid 2 or 3 times a week and I have the best skin I’ve had in years
Remember, The Golden Rx, “if it doesn’t feed you don’t water it” Great job young lady!
God bless you for not leaving me out here ignorant!
I. LUUUUV. PAULA'S CHOICE. Girl 👏🏾! No one really talks about that brand but it is so good.
Brenda Direny trueeee
yesssssss its amazing and they have great formulas. its a shame their prices are very high tho :(
@@isitlina yup
Brenda Direny yess! Her products literally saved my skin! My acne is so much better now- still trynna get rid of hyperpigmentation from the acne tho.
Using my lunch hour to check this out! Love you sis!
I wonder if the people frying their faces have ever heard of *drug interactions*? Similar concept.
2019 the year of over exfoliating. Hopefully this year is the year of nurturing the skin barrier
I use the niacinamide and zinc AM and pm after washing and before moisturiser and it’s done my skin wonders. I will substitute the niacinamide for salycilic acid occasionally if I’m breaking out but make sure to really hydrate. Honestly with any brand my skin has broken out if I use more than 1-2 products or don’t hydrate my skin so it meant the ordinary worked for me because I always keep it simple. But definitely read up about your acids, check never use them too heavy, let your skin adjust, hydrate and always always use SPF people 🙏🏼
I learnt this the hard way! Still nursing my skin back to health! It’s been 6 months now 😭
Achie Bella so sorry to hear that. Their shit fucks me up too and I never used more than one at a time
Can you please do a video on how to remove scars?
Sadly, you cannot remove scars, they're permanent once they've formed completely. The only way to significantly reduce their appearance, is through laser treatment, such as a pulse dye laser operated by a dermatologist. But depending on the type of scar, like if it is a keloid or icepick scar, then sadly you're out of luck. Removing scars is not possible, as they're far too deep in the skin to reverse the damage.
Laser is not the only treatment to remove scarring. You can alternate microneedling with certain professional acids, and peels weekly to bi-weekly, along with homecare with alpha hydroxy acids, and/or retinoids. Or peels without microneedling at all... Stimulating fibroblasts does not only happen with lasers-there are other treatments available.
Secondly, Ms. Jemima, when you say scarring, are you referring to pitted scarring or hyperpigmentation? Sometimes people refer to pigment as scarring as well.
@@devon.pfeifer Microneedling can help if the scar is on the uppermost layer of the skin, and I talked about laser treatment, because too many people think microneedling and peels will fade scarring and they'll see drastic results. Even with lasers, you'll still see the scar, but it's usually minimal. Treatment really depends on the type of scar, as that's usually an indicator as to how deep it is within the skin, and how to effectively take care of it. And again, we really shouldn't use the term "remove" because no laser treatment can do that, and neither can acids. We really shouldn't drvelop such higg hopes, as there is only so much cosmetics and skincare can do.
Hello Jemima, Scars can take some the to diminish. I treated a client that had very severe acne scaring. Usually clients have a couple of options.
1) lasers 2) Peels. 3) microneedling 4) Skincare. The client that I treated was extremely depressed about his skin and nearly took his life because he was bullied and humiliated about his face. Very sad reality, I felt a tremendous obligation to help him as much as I could, he did not have much money. The best option for him was Skincare. He was on a retinol, spf, and a scar product called Scar heal. You would not believe his results after one year of use. It was like night and day.
Remember , that not one treatment or product can perform miracles but you have to pay attention to where the skin was to the current state.
I have been training and educating Medical aesthetics, Doctors and other skincare professionals for years and one of the most common errors that I would see is professionals pushing treatments and not skincare protocol.
I have DV related scarring & am always seeking out what I can use to help reduce it, yes I know it won't completely go away, but I would feel better if it was less apparent. The last comment fits my budget, so I'll look into skincare treatments, thank you.
I’ve used the ordinary for several years without any problems. I did follow the company instructions.
They are a Godsend!!!! I literally adore them. I was buying stable vitamin c serums like Sunday Riley (monthly) $100/each, so to find the ordinary.. I felt like I hit the jackpot.
Bleu Kantreul Sunday Riley sucks. The owner is a total fraud
This was so informative. Can you do a video about how you feel about dermalogica’s products, especially for dark skin?
Takiyah C. Since she didn’t see your comment I thought I would respond. I dislike seeing estheticians push Dermalogica, it’s usually because it was used at their beauty school or pushed by the company. The high price tag just doesn’t match up with the ingredients used and there’s lots of irritants and essential oils. You can get better skincare for less or use that money toward better brands like Skincueticals or Skinmedica imo.
@@skinsciencebymira Agreed 👏. It's overpriced, and doesn't offer much you can't already get with a drugstore brand.
@@asideofaioli4630 my esthetician only pushes clinical grade skin care like skin Ceuticals. Some of its sooo expensive though. She’s not a fan of department store skin care brands and call them overpriced.
Hyalyuronic acid, a hydrating moisturizer & vasiline are lifesavers when you accidently over exfoliate. Aloe vera is amazing. I hate overexfoliating. My skin dries, peels & turns bright red even though Im dark skinned
Jojoba oil too
@@Jordan-db2og I lovee jojoba. Its my winter repair oil
My skin has never been better. The ordinary products are bomb. I must admit i went overboard with buying at the beginning. I am guilty of having 30 dropper bottles. But they were really helpful when contacted. I now use 5 products religiously. HA, buffet, retinal (pm) and resveratrol (spelling). I use the peel once a month. My skin is flawless.
I am addicted to the red peel. I have to force myself to use it occasionally. I have started using the rose hip oil before I moisturize. That keeps my skin soft and smooth.
Thanks for this! I got my first the ordinary product this week and it worked amazing! I like the simple formula but only used it for half the recommended time. Besides that I am a huge korean skincare lover. I use both.
Thank you for making this video!!! i see people buying beauty products like crazy just for the aesthetic appeal, not even for their skin. i think this is great information and will be helpful for the skincare community
There is so much info out there. My first instinct was like "I should buy all the acids!!". Then I spent like 5hrs researching just the basic products I would want to use. Plus it doesn't help that because I stripped my skin so much with cleansers I hadn't realized how oily and fragile it was, so I had to find out my actual skin problems and type before emailing the ordinary. It wasn't until after tons of research that I emailed with questions, but it was pretty satisfying when they replied with almost the exact same regimen I had chosen after hours of research through videos, reviews, and the ordinary website itself. The rules you suggested sound great! It's really tempting to try to buy a bunch because it's so cheap, but I feel like adding more than 2 products at a time is really pushing it on your skin.
As someone who has always had very sensitive skin, the fact that people buy and use any skincare products without fully doing their research is terrifying to me! They could do so much damage!
she called me out when she said “do not apply the dropper to your face”😪
Oh my gosh, I am late to this conversation. Last year, I tried The Ordinary and my face was on fire.😵 I only used 3 or 4 item. Lesson learned. I just avoid that brand. Too complicated. So glad you are in Los Angeles! I'm shopping for an esthetician. I will be reaching out. Thank you.💖
THANK YOU so much for telling people to STOP puting the dropper directly on their skin!
I’m a student esty and stublmed across your channel and girllllll. You know your SHIT! I love it, so knowledgeable and soooo helpful tips working with ladies of color. (SPF can be so hard to find!) 💗🌸
It's cool that you talk about this! People who don't know much about ingredients can definitely overdo it. I NEVER use exfoliating ingredients every day, even if the percentage is low.
This is very important! My Cleanser has 2% Salicylic Acid and I use the Ordinary 7% Glycolic Acid toner ~only~ in the PM... along with the ordinary 30% aha / 2% bha ~once a week or once every 2 weeks~ I’ll start listening to my skin and see if I’m over exfoliating!
On days you use the AHA BHA peel, dont you the toner after.
Hyun Min yeah I forgot to mention that! I switch to a no alcohol toner when I use the peeling solution!
Just because it fucked up your skin doesn’t mean it going to go like that for everyone else . I see tons of people using it and their skin looks amazing 🥰
I needed to hear this because I am currently healing my over exfoliated skin. The only Ordinary product I use is the niacinamide serum, and I have used it for several months, so it was fine. I was adding physical exfoliation techniques, though. I have been "dermaplaning" once a month (you love that right?), but I started using a silicone sonic face brush, too. I think the face brush was the tipping point. I was using a foam cleanser and cleansing with it for the 60 seconds (LMAO) twice a day on the lowest setting. I started that part of the routine early last month. After the scrubbing, I would tone and slap that 10% niacinamide on top. When my dermaplaning day came up about ten days ago, it just all went to hell. I was surprised when the niacinamide started to burn, so I tried using it after my emulsion. Then my gentle toner and emulsion burned too. Then came the breakouts!!! Notice: If you squeeze a pimple on over-exfoliated skin, it will take off the top layer even if you are gentle and use a special tool. Then using niacinamide over that broken skin (for its soothing and healing properties, of course) is a bad thing to do. I did that.
I stopped using the face brush and actives. I am currently using my hyaluronic acid toner and emulsion in the morning and evening and adding a layer of ceramide emulsion and a skin oil at night. It is healing well. I plan to start using the niacinamide again, but only gradually. If I use the face brush, it will be once a week except for the week I shave. I started all of this extra exfoliation because I had some PIH spots and some congestion. Now I have a lot of redness and some inflammation, and I can't tell if there is congestion yet because of that inflammation. Never again!
I love the eye serum and haven’t had any issues with it.. i appreciate how informative this is ! ❤️
just an fyi deciem has an app called skincare and if you put in which products you’re using it gives you a routine and lets you know which products you can’t combine! it’s super helpful
Yessss I was just shopping and pulling out my card to buy some of their products! I'm watching as I type. Bless you!!
I also didnt know a lot about skin care, didnt know all the active ingr., but couse of Ordinary now i do, so iam very greatfull for this bradn. Every one should know for them selfe, teac, learn thats all.
Seriously thinking about getting several products from their line. Let me know what's up because every time you're dropping facts, I pick them up. For real.
LadySoul502 hey, their products are really good. Like she’s saying in the video just because it’s affordable don’t buy the whole line. Just stick to what your skin needs over doing it leads to more harm than good since the products are potent. You can hit them up they really good at helping you find what you need.
Like the comment above me said, don’t buy the whole line at once. Start out slow and maybe get 1-2 products that target your needs! For me, I started out with 2 products from the Ordinary’s which were the Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% serum and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. I specifically got these to help reduce my sebum production, acne blemishes and hyperpigmentation. Stick with the first couple of products that you purchase and along the way try out some more. This will benefit your skin in the long run! Good luck.
This is the reason why my acne went from mild/moderate to SOOO incredibly bad I was mixing too many different products and wasn't consistent with one simple routine🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ it got so bad I had started seeing an esthetician and got accutane but it feels nice to only have to use one (on some days 2) products at night instead of a whole 20 minute long routine
True! I agree with you 100 per cent. It is crazy how people mix all those products!!!
For 3 years I have been struggling with PIE, and I’ve been on everything including Differing and Curology, and NONE of it worked. I started the ordinary 1 week ago using vitamin C in the morning, and their Niancinamide and Azelaic Acid in the evening, and in one week I’ve seen more change in my skin than I have in 3 years
Naruto Uchiha That’s because Differin contains adapalene a retinoid and Curology typically contains tretinoin another retinoid. Retinoids aren’t pigment inhibitors. They can stimulate cell turnover which can help some but they’re not like say hydroquinone which actually destroys pigment cells or tranexemic acid which inhibits melanin production. Not a fault of the retinoids, you just weren’t using the correct products to help.
Pie doesn't get better in one week
Damnnnn I always put the dropper on my face 😔😔😔 thank you for telling me this.
2:46 thank you for saying this!! I felt so uneducated when The Ordinary’s products came out so I learned about skincare in depth but it’s not obvious for beginners!
I can't wait to watch the video.
However, if you go on their site to Contact Us > Products & Regimens > How should I use my products... you can list the products you use and they will email you 24 hours later with a morning and night regimen showing the order of the products.
It will even ask you about the skin care concerns and suggest products. It's very helpful. I use about 6-7 of their products and they have made a difference.
You’re right, people need to take time and keep it simple-I have way too many products and honestly the cost is adding up and my simple routine is now like a taxing ten step Korean routine every morning and night.
I love The Ordinary and I absolutely love and appreciate the guidelines you suggest for its use. I think it's really easy to get hyped over this brand and just attack your own poor face with too many irritations. I think this information is extremely helpful and affirming.
I’m not sure if it’s the lighting but your foundation has a very grey tone,ashiness. Of course otherwise you’re flawless!
People don’t read nowadays! The website from Ordinary did explained the directions on how to use it and what products to avoid due to contraindications..smh. Thankfully you are here to educate them. Keep up the good work!
Always good to err on the side of caution. Nice video, thanks so much!
Great advice. I wish i had seen this before over doing it with acids😔 I am dealing with hyperpigmentation and it's frustrating at times. I've become such a product junky. It's like a new product comes out with Promises of giving you your best skin and before you know it I've purchased it🤦🏽♀️ then when I realize I can't have so many I try to use them up to finish them which = damaged skin barrier.
Please do a DIY for natural products we can use
What kind of products are you looking for? Your skin care needs? Many times you'll find more effective treatments with commercial products, as they are formulated with safety standards, to last longer without risk of bacterial growth, and all encompassing- meaning you don't need to use several items to achieve one goal. But for those who would like to experiment for the fun of it, or other reasons, there are some diy products that are safe.
What a great video!!! I wish everyone who is a skincare rookie would watch this before buying the Ordinary. And not just watch a regular review on TO products.
I agree. If you aren't familiar with ingredients for your I wouldn't dive in head first and get a bunch of their products. Yes their prices are affordable for good ingredients but this is a pro and a con in a way because you really have to be knowledgeable about mixing and frequency of use etc
Love this video, been using a combination of The Ordinary and NIOD for a couple of years and what it's done for my pigmentation has been miraculous!
I'm in a Deciem facebook group and people show up every day new to skincare and asking if it's safe to use awwwwl of their Actives right away and in the same routine! There's also a helluva lot of questions about barrier repair because people rushed in and they know someone who did the same and their skin was fine -so a lot of educating gets done in that group!
Deciem do suggest that people use no more than x1 Active + x3 serums per routine, but a lot of people seem to miss this advice.
4. Yessss to Marine Hyaluronics, the Hyaluronic Acid used to pill like crazy, MHA plays nicely with the other products in my routine but really the Hadalabo Premium HA is the most elegant formulation that I've used.
What do you use for your pigmentation?? I only got the mandelic acid because I don't want to damage my skin
^^ right
MeShannan I use the Niacinamide serum which is supposed to help, but I don’t want to give you any bad advice since. I’ve only been using it for about a month and it has helped with my sebum production and my pores look less noticeable, thank god. So far for my acne blemishes I can tell that they are reducing, but it takes more than a month to see actual good results so I am still being consistent! I’ve heard the azelaic acid from the ordinary helps with hyperpigmentation as well, but I do not use it so make sure to do research for yourself! Good luck.
I always viewed the ordinary as supplemental skin care. I started out by adding it in to my preexisting routine and it’s been absolutely lovely 😌 I like to mix different serums with my lightweight moisturizer for extra boosts when I need them
It's not supplemental. The products *are* skin care.
Lmao. Thank you. It took a couple of years, but once I stopped using the 10 million “The Ordinary” products my skin improved. I recently ran out of the Ordinary’s primer, so I’m not using any of their products at all right now. Idk if I’ll use them again.
I always see myself coming to check your youtube out before making a purchase on a skincare product. Honestly so helpful. 💕
Also Gothamista did a couple of reviews on The Ordinary and I think those videos are worth watching. I watched her videos first and made my decisions on the products based off that
I learned this lesson the hard way! Thank You!!
This is weird I returned the eye serum caffeine because it made The skin around my eyes red puffy and painful. I bought it finally through the summer Sephora sale. I only used it for two days and I woke up with swollen eyes. When I was returning a lady said it’s too concentrated. I was nervous to but it because of the price point being so low. It did have great reviews
