Deciem The Ordinary AHA | BHA & NIOD NAAP Review!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2017
- I'm reviewing all the Ordinary's AHA's and BHA as well as that non-acid product they generally suggest in favour of the acids! I've also included a breakdown of and the differences of AHAs and BHAs because, it's confusing! Enjoy!
** Just want to note that the reason I grouped Azelaic Acid with the AHA's here got lost in the editing. I didn't want to leave it out completely because it has some very similar qualities to AHA's, although it is a dicarboxylic acid. Which is why I mentioned I included it to make things more "complete." Sorry if this is misleading!

Patrick Queen Thank you 👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻
Real MVP
How often do you apply the Lacic Acid 5%? Do you sleep with it or wash it?
Twice a week?
Thanks
godsend ❤️
I have a degree in chemical engineering and when you talked about pKa, it made my day! ^^ You always give such accurate and easy-to-understand explanations of chemistry!
Wow that means ALOT coming from you, love! You just made MY day!
Oh god, if wasn't for her extreme knowledge I would say she is 25 years old... What a wonderful skin 😍
maria p hmmmm.., I'm 20 and I have no issue admitting that 25 year old women don't usually carry or present themselves like she does. Not because we can't but because we choose not to for posturing. We still try to come across as dumber and not as knowledgeable as not to intimidate others.
Artliker1234 obviously i'm not referring to a general knowledge(that you acquire from the youngest age) but to skincare and makeup knowledge.
The person you are at 20 is WAY different from the person you are at 25---unless you're willfully ignorant, you will change A TON.
Oh Maria, you flatter me so....💋
maria p I'm speaking of her composure.
Renée I just wanted to take the time to say thank you very much for all your hard work and research you put into every video! You have completely helped change my skincare game. I'm so much more cautious when it comes to skincare products. You're awesome! 😊❤️
Thank you so much Stephanie!
Getting ready to swipe my card for the NIOD NAAP!!
NICE! And review!!?? Love ya too!
😘
You always explain things so well, thanks for being so thorough! I would love to watch an Ordinary video with example routines for different skin types!
Thank you so much for you simple yet descriptive articulation of what these products and ingredients are and what they do. As an esthetician working in a medical office we use so many of these types of ingredients I find it over whelming to remember and explain everything efficiently and correctly. I love a good refresher!!! Thank you thank you!!
You're the only person I trust when it comes to skincare advice! I'm a university student so the financial struggle is very real right now but I still want to take good care of my skin. I would love to see a video from you on a morning routine and an evening routine using products from The Ordinary line only, just because of how affordable it is!
Another great video! I am collecting an arsenal of Ordinary products. I purchased the Lactic Acid 10% and am using it 1-2 days/week. I also bought the Azelaic Acid. I'm waiting for the toner to be back in stock, and then I'll get that and the mask. The only problem is having too many products in rotation!! I was reading about the NIOD copper 5% product which is apparently amazing but costs $200!!! I'd like to see you talk about more of the NIOD products. Thanks!
Whenever I want an educated, thorough, in depth review....this is where I come. Thank you for all the research you do and sharing with us.
I love The Ordinary's skin care products and have learned so much from your channel about how to better incorporate them into my skin care routine for maximum effectiveness. You rock!
I've just finished your series on the Ordinary...Thank you sooo much! You are one smart "cookie" girlfriend! You've tackled a complex product line with just the right balance of science and sense. I've watched a lot of vids on this product line so that I could make an informed purchase...your has helped me the most! I'll be subscribing, and watching! Thank you again!
I just received my shipment of about 15-20 of the products and will watch your series over and over!! Thanks for always making such great videos!!
Thanks for following up with The Ordinary. I'm still on the wait list for the serum foundation and awaiting my first shipment if products. So happy I found your channel! 💖
"The Ordinary for Dummies" clear and informative reviews. Loved it! Thank you!
I saw you some years ago, but in the "jungle" of youtube i lost you.I am so glad that i rediscovered you, keep it up with honest reviews .You are doing a great job in finding good products.Your clips are right on point not too long, but neither superficial.Love it!
Thank you for another informative review. I can never get enough of Ordinary videos (and keep placing orders for more ingredients).
I was sooo waiting for this, and now don't have time to watch aaaaargh, the frustration!
I'll be back asap!
Thanks for this Renée 😍
Best skin care advice on the web, period. Thank you, seriously for this video. Am exploring The Ordinary since your first review and coming from just using Vaselline lotion on my face for 46 years I feel like I am coming into the perfect skin care line at the right time. My main issues currently are texture and eye hollows and now I cannot wait to try that toner, thank you looking forward to more videos from you.
Apricot Curls try the caffeine serum for under the eyes. it's amazing
Maryanne Gauthier Why thank you Maryanne but I do own that currently. Have used it only a few times because I have heard it wont help my problem and that it wouldnt be a good idea to use it regularly because it will pull too much moisture. I believe even Gothmista pointed something similar to this out in one of her previous videos. I will however give this another try at your recommendation for a few weeks and update this post. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
Currently use The Buffet mixed with Vaselline lotion and pull it under the eyes (not that effective) but it seems to help my deep line in the leven's area and other fine lines. Im ready to try more!
Thank you, so much!! Yes, do try out that toner, i believe it's gentle enough but will work on that texture!
Filler works extremely well for hollows!
Gothamista After watching your The Ordinary review videos multiple times I must ask this question: Why do you prefer Marula over Rosehip?
your reviews are deep but very simple to understand, love all of them and is always a pleasure when you ad a new one xxx
Hi Renee, great video! The Ordinary and NIOD products can be a little bit of information overload so it was helpful to see you describe them and the differences in how they work. I really love the NIOD products and will look forward to using this treatment to see how it works.
Thanks for this fantastic review of an intriguing, yet somewhat hard-to-sort-out line of products (at least for me!). It really helped me understand what the products are intended to do from someone with an expert's perspective.
I love how knowledgeable you are! I trust your reviews and opinions!
Watching this while eating breakfast and drinking coffee! Have a great day everyone! ❤️
Diana Grace same here 💜
Hahaha, it was awesome indeed! 😄
love this so much!!
Gothamista ❤️❤️❤️
I was waiting with my coffee and breakfast today too 💜💜💜 love your reviews #Gothamista 💜💜💜
OMG! I just watched your other two videos and was just going to put in my order, thank god you posted this video!
Haha!
I remember us briefly discussing the NIOD NAAP. I'm glad you're discussing this product in more detail in this video.
I really want to try the NIOD product when my budget allows.
best and most comprehensive skin care reviews ever!
You are literally my go to 'dermatologist'. Thank you so much for the level of detail!
make a vitamin c serum guide PLEASE
i've heard her rave about the drunk elephant one, though personally I really disliked it.
working on it! I need to make sure I test products properly before recommending or suggesting them. But it's coming up!
Yes please!! In the order of preference!!!
Niod ELAN vs Hylamide C25 Booster vs Drunk Elephant C Ferma vs Klairs Vitamin C vs Perricone MD Vitamin C and of course against Ordinary C Suspension ...... Aloha from MAUI ....
Please add Dr Dennis Gross Vit C + collagen to your review!
Hi Renee, i just found ur channel and addicted to follow ur channel since 1 mth ago. Do u have any comment or heard about Vitamin C serum from Biofinest USA?
I am 55 and I just said "goody, goody, gumdrop" with a clap of the hands when I saw this new video speaking to the products featured under the Deciem umbrella and in particular the NIOD line. I am always thrilled when you post about what I have bought, what I have been using and what has been working for me. Thank you!
Haha! I love it! It's never age inappropriate to say 'goody, goody, gumdrops' or 'oopsie daisies!" imo!
Omg thank you so much for your thorough, well-researched reviews! You're one of my go-to gurus for skincare information because of your passion and knowledge in this area. Navigating this world can be extremely overwhelming. Speaking of which, and I'm showing what a newbie I am here, but would you make a video briefly covering how to incorporate more products into a skincare routine and how to tell which products are having which effect?
I love that I get a science lesson while watching your skincare reviews. I've just got the Aha peel from The Ordinary and I already use the squalane cleanser, buffet, moisturising factors and lactic acid and really enjoy the effect it has on my skin. I've always felt pretty disappointed with skincare by most highstreet brands and it was my latch ditch attempt to find affordable skincare before I resort to high end 😅
Hello, I just started watching you 1 month ago and I think you are fabulous. I bought some Ordinary products just a couple weeks before I found your channel. So I will need to go thru all that I bought and compare to your reviews and see if they will work and then go from there. I want to be very very cautious with these new products and you are helping me a lot. I probably won't try anything till the end of June or maybe sooner. I just lost my mother and everything is a mess trying to get everything straightened out. Oh Boy do I sure miss my mother. Anyway, I am so glad I found you, Take Care and GOD BLESS YOU 😇❤
They way you described how the AHA/BHA treatment felt in your skin is exactly how I feel! Now burning/stinging instantly, but prickling a little later in the treatment on areas of congestion (for me thats my chin.) I do really like it and can't wait to get my hands on the glycolic toner. Still waiting for the marula oil from them to be back in stock too! I hope the ordinary starts doing SPF. PS, I'm a chemistry student and when you were describing the PH and pKa...got me real excited :p Thanks Renee, sending love your way!
Haha Thank you Donna!!
I feel like you read my mind when you brought up P50 after describing the toner. I saw the bottle in your hand and couldn't believe it! Thanks for this video - right on time for me, since I am just developing a routine. I have the P50 1970 and boy, is it intense!
I found you yesterday and you're the best. So thorough and comprehensive, this is EXACTLY what I need. Also going into some chemistry of it all... As a chemical engineer, I'm happy I can connect some of my studies to my skincare ❤️
I love your videos! You've taught me so much. Although you speak on so many science terms ,you make them sound so easy. I hope you come out with your own brand some day,that'd be so awesome!
You are so sweet, thank you!
So educational. I am floored by your knowledge of each product. You are so sweet to share that knowledge. Awesome channel!
Thank you so much Judy!!
Thank you for all your reviews! It is extremely helpful and educational.
Love your content and how it is very science yet consumer focused! You are like the Lisa Eldridge of skincare. i am definitely going to try out the Ordinary!
Thank you for making these videos! When I was first getting into Asian skincare, your videos were some of the most helpful and informative ones I found. I still come to your channel for info and advice on how to tweak my Asian beauty skincare routine. (Loving the 7 Skins method, btw.)
When I first heard of The Ordinary, of course I had to see what you thought of the line! It was your review that helped me make the decision to pick up a few of their products. I'm glad I did! I'm loving the Niacinamide serum and the Lactic Acid 10% serum. I feel like I am seeing some really good results from those two items in particular. I also picked up and am liking Buffet and the Caffeine Solution for eyes, but those two items seem to have more subtle effects.
Thank you for doing the research, being so knowledgeable on skincare, and helping me on my journey to better skin. I love watching you videos. Keep it up!
I'm always so excited when I see new posts from you. Yay!
I love it when you review The Ordinary! I have a shipment of goodies arriving today (your last two part review convinced me to pull the trigger), complete with one of each of the highly anticipated Colours formulas. I hope you review them soon!
OOh! Let me know how it goes. figuring out the routine is the hardest part!
yesss! I have been looking forward to more of their companies products! I want to see reviews on ALL their companies skincare "levels".
wow this is the best review of acids i’ve seen so far! 🤩
Thank you for the many Ordinary reviews! It helped me so much in making decisions when I was at the store in London. My skin is pretty good and I only indulge my skin in acids in winter because there’s a lot less sun 😬
I have been incorporating quite a bit of The Ordinary into my skincare routine. I have to say, after trying out much more expensive products over the years, my bank balance is breathing a sigh of relief.
I've been using the Azelaic Acid on my oily, acne-prone skin and I think I actually prefer it to the Lactic Acid. I follow it up with the Alpha Arbutin Solution to treat a couple of dark post-acne marks. At night, I switch to the Retinol 2% and 23% Vitamin C Suspension and a Paula's Choice salicylic acid gel to treat potential breakouts I can feel beneath the surface of my skin. Most of the time, they just disappear overnight.
I've really enjoyed all your reviews and recommendations. Just ordered the Glycolic Toner and Salicylic Acid. Might order their glycolic mask the next time 'round.
Thanks a bunch, Renee!
You are so incredibly thorough. Love, love, love your videos!
Please do a AM &PM routine for dry skin with acne/cystic spots whilst still dealing with anti-ageing! Many thanks!
Thanks you for another well informed review Renee! I have been looking for a complete in depth review of the NIOD products and I was glad to see you liked the NAAP treatment. I have been using the core NIOD system for almost a week and though I can't see definite results, I feel I'm doing good things for my skin. Being in my 60s, I have a lot of aging issues and have been a long time user of the Paula's Choice line including the Retinol serum and more recently the Ordinary's advanced retinoid. I was on the verge of getting a prescription for a Retin A product, but I was hesitant to go through the peeling and inflammation. Would like to know your opinion on the benefits of going the non acid route of the NIOD products compared to the proven results of Retin A. I've also heard that using acids and RetinA for a prolonged period of time will cause skin thinning and sensitivity. Love your work ❤️
I LOVE your review!! I am researching The Ordinary skin products and read so much information it was a bit overwhelming after about 2 hours. Your review placed all that data in perspective. Thank you! I'm going to order now...☕
Oh wow, Renee, I have been away for a while and see your subscribers bumped up to 146K! Congratulations, even if you deserve more...you are getting there:). Your reviews are always the most professional and Informative on the web. Thank you !
Thanks, I really love the in depth look at products & how they reacted with your skin. I feel like I can get a reading for my poor old sunburnt skin.
thank you for emphasizing the importance of pH
Due to the differentiation of skin health throughout the years, the pH of products are so important.
My skin is a bit more acidic so i tend not to like acidic products. There is a small correlation between pH and skin.
Ive noticed (with friends who allow me to experiement) that drier skin has a higher pH (leaning toward more basic) and those of us who are oily, lean towards the acidic side. (The bacteria on the face that causes acne, has a lipid layer that has a tendency to drop the pH of oily skin)(thus creating a really happy place bacteria to flourish)
Yes, hydration is very important, but so is ensuring your skin is around the 4.5 to 6ish area.
having too dry (basic) and too acidic (oily) skin can cause the products to not work as well with the skin.
ideally, skin would absorb product optimally around the 5.5 pH.
(chemist, did research on cosmetic and skin sustainability)
Thank you so much for your knowledge!
ha yi so if i want to use salicylic acid i need to use low ph toner first? Can you recommend me low ph toner to use with salicylic acid
Great job on the video! You relay information in such a beautiful way.
This lip colour looks amazing on you, complements your skintone and hair colour so well!! Thanks for yet another informative video
Thank you, lovely!
I bought (of course because of your review) Lactic Acid 5% and loved it sooo much, so I bought 10% also, love this one also. it helps so much with keeping my face smooth and without red marks. Basically, each product I bought from Ordinary helped me so much! and the prices.. love them. I used to be scared of acids because I hurt my skin once with mandelic acid, I had a massive breakout after using it and allergy I think... And I do not have an acne-prone skin, so that breakout was bad, really bad. My skin never looked liked this, and it was because of this mandelic acid. So i am still scared of acids, but Lactic Acid from Ordinary somehow works on me perfectly. Not going to change that or look for anything new.:)
Thank you! You have the best ordinary reviews Ive found👍
your videos are some of my treats during the fasting month of Ramadan :)
Thank you!
Thank you for your reviews!!! You give people with sensitive skin like me hope!!!! Was scare to use acids but now I feel encouraged to try after watching your video.
I bought all The Ordinary products that you gave good reviews on to give them a try!!!
Thank you so much for another in in depth review. I always learn so much from you xx
OMG your reviews are so informative love it... its not just like the other reviews that talks what happened to them using this and that.. Thank you so much...
Thanks Renee. Another great video to help me with another purchase. I will check out your previous linked videos. Continue being great.
Aw thank you love!
I've watched this video several times in different time periods... It's just amazing.
You are so articulate!!thank you so much for giving us this valuable information!
You just made my holiday weekend by putting out a video on one of my favourite brands. I wondered about all the acid options, I have started dipping my toes into the unfamiliar territories. Very timely! :-) Love to hear your thoughts about the Ordinary colour foundations. Thank you!
Yay! Yes, I finally recieved my foundations and am ready to review!
I just recently found you on RUclips, and I’m working my way through each video. Your information is amazing. Amazing. Thank you so much! 😊
One question: I know this video is older - but you mentioned The Ordinary glycolic Toner in a recent video - but can you tell me how/when you work that into your everyday skin plan? Do you use it as a toner? Do you wait to put another product on top of it? Do you use another more “calming” toner after? Or essence?
Thank you!
Informative as usual! Gonna be in the market for a new toner soon, the glycolic one sounds amazing
I am most definitely not a acid newbie and I love my acids! I have only used the Aha 30 mask once, but I can say that I like it a lot and will continue to use it and see if it makes a difference . I didn't see any flaking, but again, I use acids 3 times a week anyway.
Hello Renee. I've been watching your videos for a while. I really like all the facts and details you go into. I like the way you present your videos, the editing & your choice of words. They're perfect! Congrats! I almost feel like in a chemistry class. You bring out my nerdy side (even more) in a very good way. I just wish you and I had the very same skin type so I would know for sure if something's gonna work for me. I also wish I would know more about ingredients to narrow down my wish list. I'll keep on watching to learn more :)
My dream is to know if you work in the skincare industry! Thank you for another lovely video!
Very informative Renee, just went to grab my first skincare routine at the Deciem store here in Downtown Toronto, I'm in my early 40's and looking for a hydrating and anti aging skin products . I got the Buffet , Niacinamide, Retinol 2%, Lactic acid and their foundation and primer. I'm excited to try these and see results. Thanks for your informative review.
Azelaic one's really great for oily skin! That's why im here - it worked so well i want to continue woth The Ordinary (now i want everything!)
Hi! Just heard The Ordinary is opening a store in London! was in London last summer, wish I was going this year! I will keep my fingers crossed for one in SF! Would love to be able to touch and feel all their products. So far everything I've ordered has been great! Thank you for another great video, been thinking about the lactic acid and I'm on the waiting list for the toner! Take care! 😁
You're so lucky! Can't wait for them to come to my area
Thank you for your reviews, I have been using the Ordinary products for about 4 months now, I have used your advise on my choices, this has really helped me know what to expect. I'm 57 this year and my daughters are always talking about how I have better skin at this age that they do at 33 and 28. I'm pretty sure I lucked out on the genetics side of things but that doesn't mean that I can't get a wrinkle or a blemish so your advise is really appreciated!! BTW I love all your reviews and advice for other products as well.
Thank you so much Sandra. How satisfying that your daughters envy your skin!
I get soo excited when you upload !! absolutely love your videos. 😍
Thank you so much!!
Gothamista I have a question is it safe to use 5% lactic acid on teen skin?
william jamie how old are you, and have you used AHAs before?
Gabrielle Bentley I'm 16 no i haven't .
Gabrielle Bentley but I have very textured skin.
I have sensitive, dehydrated skin, and I have tried every acid in every concentration, and they all irritated my skin. I have been using NIOD's NAAP for three months and it's amazing. It leaves my skin soft, exfoliated, and feeling wonderful without any irritation. I use it every two days, and my skin is very grateful. Thank you for another excellent video!
fabulous! I love that NAAP!
Loved this review. Really explains a lot. I feel The Ordinary down side is always on explaining each of their products in terms of benefits and how to use it.
Renee ; can hyaluronic acid been used everyday?! I do and find my skin always reacts better when I do rather than when I stop to try new products
Thanks
I found your channel recently and really loved it! I like it that you are a skin care geek (like myself) and really break down the components in each product :)
Just one side note: azelaic acid is not a AHA. In fact, it is not a hydroxy acid at all (it is a dicarboxylic acid).
Thanks for the in depth review. I am looking forward to trying the Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% which I've been waiting for shipment for 3 weeks now. That and Arbutin I'm looking to add in if when they get here. I use a 15% Neostrata glycolic Acid currently a few times a week with no issues but wanted something gentler to use, not because I felt I needed to but because I thought it would be better long term. I would have liked the 30% Aha to try, though it said not available to ship here.
I loooooove the toner too!! Best acid toner I've tried when it comes to being gentle enough to use often yet still very effective
Meg Miller How often do you use it?
i wanna know too. im very interested in trying it since my toner is running out. do you use it every other day or less than that?
Jade Lim it's stronger I use it everyday, at night. And sunscreen
Yes, seriously gentle and dang good!
I love how informative your videos are.
I'm just wondering if you've heard of anyone having an allergic reaction to AHAs? Is it normal to get hives from AHA?
I was using Paula's choice for a long time, and tried one of their Resist 10% weekly AHA resurfacing treatment which also contains glycolic acid and broke out into horrible hives the next morning! The swelling was so bad I had to go to the doctors coz it had swollen my eyes shut and I missed work for days! Since then I've been very cautious with what I use. I've stopped Paula's choice all together and have been searching for other products that'll work for my skin.
This is a tremendously helpful video! Thank you so much for sharing this information!
I really enjoy your videos about the ordinary. I find them very informative.
Would you recommend the ordinary's no brainer set for people new to this and with acne/acne scars?
I have been searching for a readily available line that has effective single ingredients. I run into reactions and acne flares when using multi ingredient products like PChoice. I cannot tolerate many types of oils but almond and cocomut oil seem to be in so many products and thise are very problematic. This is SO helpful! Thank you!!!
Even though I highly value Renee's input on products (i.e your first round of reviews for The Ordinary), I went ahead and tried the Azelic acid treatment and was a little blown away by how well it worked for my oily, acne-prone skin. You were not kidding when you said it helps calm down inflamed skin! And for the price 👌👌👌
I'm still a fledgling skincare aficionado and still trying to figure a good way to incorporate acids into my routine. You mentioned it'd probably be prudent to avoid putting any direct acid (aha or bha) on active acne. So in my case, I should be using bha's primarily for blackheads and pustules that seem more like they're caused from overproductive sebaceous glands than p. acne bacteria, correct?
Thank you for being so wonderful and informative! My face and I trust in you lol.
Anna Thibault How do you incorporate the azelaic acid into your routine?
Yeah I'm really a fan. As long as it doesn't pill, it's great. Stephanie, you add it after your water soluble products, just before your moisterizers. So for example I wash, tone and then use either Buffet/Niacin/DE B-Hydra and allow those to dry. Then I go in with Azelic Acid and top off with an oil.
Hey Stephanie! You can definitely do it Marauder's way, as in follow up with an oil, or what I do since my skin can be quite a bit oily is spot my face with my moisturizer and pat it in because Renee is right it is quite silicone-y and you don't want to rub it off 👍
Anna Thibault I have really loved the Azelaic acid as well. I am 41 and have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea and it's really been wonderful for me. I do think it's mattefying/drying but with my moisturizer and other products I don't end up noticing that effect at all. It's definitely worth a try in my opinion.
kateri17 I know what you mean! It is matifying which for people with drier skin might feel uncomfortable, but going over it with VProve's Optimula Hyaluron Poten Balance Cream or even Dr. Jart's Ceramidin cream has been working well for me 😊
I love the Azelaic acid, actually, and I'm on my second tube. I tried using it all over my face when I first got it but, you're right, that was uncomfortable. The key, for me, has been using it as a spot treatment at the very end of my routine. Only at night though, as it pills terribly under sunscreen or makeup. It's beautifully calming and decongestant as an acne spot treatment!
Thank you so much for explaining everything here so well.. I really enjoy watching you and learning.. xxx
your video is so focused on information and very professional, thank you ! you are amazing! you would and can be an amazing teacher! hugs form Beijing yours David
Would love to see you do something on derma-rolling or micro-needling at home (especially for pitted scars). Love your channel.
The Ordinary also has a tinted serum that's surprisingly AWESOME. I'm using it to replace my foundation.
The peeling solution for me, only made me peel once. And now, no peeling but great positive brightening results !
The color in the Peening Solution comes from the black carrot ectract. Just saying...
I have also struggled with the azaleic suspension, but have found it to be effective even when applied *over* moisturiser. At least when it comes to redness and inflammation.
Thank you for your in-depth review! Your hard work is outstanding ^_^
very thorough and clear! thank you for making this video 💕 you participate in my skincare knowledge a great deal 😊
Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that!
I just click like before even watching... SKINCARE QUEEEN! 😍
Hahahaha I do that too! Only to Renee's videos, though. I love her!
Aww you guyssss.....💋❤️
Gothamista Renee, do you know if the Stridex salicylic acid pads in the red box are at the correct pH to exfoliate the skin? I think it's exactly at 3 and I heard that is enough to be able to exfoliate, but I'm not sure now after seeing The Ordinary's salicylic acid serum is between 3.2- 3.5
You should try the Stratia Mandelic Acid Gel
lo when you are at that level of loving renee
Renee I'm so glad I found your channel! Sooo informative. I've got my friends obsessed with you too. How would you recommend using the Salycilic Acid in a routine? Would you use any of the other Ordinary products with it? Thank yoouu! xx
I think the acids are the best products from the Ordinary. They work, there's something for all skin types and they're cheap. Renee you are my favourite skincare blogger. Your voice is so soothing 😍
Love your explaination of products and that you mention several in comparison. Thanks
