You look so pretty with your hair like that. I love it. What a wonderful review of the Ordinary. If there comes a time when I don't use my Obagi, I will give these a look for sure. Thank you for explaining everything so well. Love to you, Melissa
Melissa55 Hey I watch you too. You look amazing xx
hi Karen! Another great review. I finally tried the AHA 30% BHA 2% peel. I was terrified that it was going to burn after watching so many different reviews using this strength although not the Ordinary brand. I was pleasantly surprised that as you stated, did not burn! I was even able to leave it on for the full 10 minutes. Like you I attribute it to using the other acids which possibly prepared my skin for being more ready for it. I feel that my skin is much smoother and soft. I will definitely be implementing it into my skin care routine on a regular basis.
You gave the most informative review of these products I have ever seen, and you are very pleasant to listen too.
You are the only person that went into detail. Thank you so much! I just purchased three of the products in the video.
Love when I see one of your The Ordinary skincare masterclass!
Your reviews on the Ordinary products are without a doubt the best and most thorough. We've been using them, many based on your recommendations, love them and want to do a review on our channel, but man, how we would pale in comparison to your incredible research! Thanks so much for your knowledge and the tremendous effort you put into these. - xx, Cindy & Carla from 2 Real Chicks
Casual and hair pinned up, you look adorable!! Thank you for this video
Thank you Karen, I learned so much about the acids I currently use. I love how you explain EVERY detail because thats how my brain works!!! Have a great weekend. xoxo, Cindi
Yup, I think everyone's is that color. Mine certainly is. And it looks that way in all photos online. I really enjoy your reviews! So helpful and informative! Keep up the good work!!
Hi Karen - thank you for making all these videos, you are so detailed and explain everything so well. I have just purchased all of these products - can't wait to start using them as I really need to improve my skin! Thank you so much xxx
I've been using the 10% lactic acid since it was released (I've nearly finished my second bottle) on my dry/sensitive/eczema prone skin. However, I had used acid toners prior to that so my skin was used to/tolerates acids fairly well. For someone not used to acids, I also think the 5% would be a better choice to begin with. I've ordered the glycolic acid toner (I'm on waitlist) as a replacement to my first aid beauty acid pads, which I've used for quite a while. The toner will be a less expensive replacement item which will act in a similar manner. I'm a little wary of the 30% on my skin so I think I'll wait quite a while before trying that as I also used retinol (on alternate nights from my acids). I have fairly clear skin without a lot of blocked pores etc so I don't need the BHA. Just as a word to the wise glycolic washes etc are very drying on my skin type and a milk/cream cleanser works soooo much better. I get my exfoliating from the acid pads/toner/serum as well as the resurfacing from retinol. Too much of a good thing can make skin freak out and should be used with caution initially. Best wishes.
I am very grateful for all the time that you give to providing us with such thorough information. Thank you so much and God Bless.
You explain about the product so well and easy to understand, thankyou👍🏻
Thank you for another informative video. I have been using the derma e Anti-wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Toner for about two weeks now and I really like it. I would like to eventually buy something a little stronger once I use it up. I think you look amazing in black, it goes so well with your red hair.
Wonderfully informative video Karen. I truly look forward to seeing you. Btw you look fantastic!
This was exactly the video I needed. I already have The Ordinary salicilique acid and their hydrating products and am delighted with them so last night I ordered all The Ordinary acids in your video without really knowing what to do with them (like you, I tend to get carried away !). Therefore, thanks to you, I now know how to use them. Thank you so much for your dedication. Keep up the good work and I hope you are feeling better (you look merveilleuse!) Bisous from the S of France, Michele x
I noticed after applying the Salicylic acid, it would turn white. I was concerned it
was because I was mixing it with another ingredient that didn't agree. Thank you for clarifying. I really enjoy watching your videos!
I am enjoying two glycolic acid products. Mario Badesco foaming glycolic cleanser and the same brand glycolic acid toner. I only use them on days that I'm very peely from my tretinoin which is day 2 or 3. I think I'll try adding in the lactic acid to my regimen. Great video Karen!
Please Mrs Gingers would you make a review of their line of foundation serum .Thanks for the updates.
I intend to, as soon as I receive it :0) I ordered it 3 weeks ago, and apparently its going to be another 3 weeks before it arrives :0(
I have purchased the AHA/BHA peeling solution and the Glycolic Acid Toner. Thank you for your as always very informative review. I have just been working out how to incorporate these into my routine, and this was very helpful. 😊
Do you use the toner the same nights you use the peeling solution?
Hi Karen! Thank you for all the wonderful information!! You are looking absolutely beautiful!!!
Hi Karen your looking well, more happier so I hope you're feeling better 🌸Well I'm proud that it's my 46th Birthday tomorrow & touch wood no spots lol. Guess what through your help I got differin then I reintroduced the 23% vitamin c , which I hated but now I'm not overdoing it with all the acids, it doesn't irritate me then rosehip oil & moisturiser. So thanks for your hard work 😓 it's so hard with different skins but you helped with the ph of everything, which for me was educational. So il have a drink for you tomorrow & here's to helping each other 🍻sorry it's lager but I'm from Barnsley ha ha xxxx
I love your videos. Your medical knowledge makes me feel confident in what you are explaining. And not just someone testing, reading someone's article and then taping it.
Quick questions:
What is the benefit of using both retinol & retinoid during the week?
Does retinoid "Differin adapalene gel 0.1%" have the same effect as tretinoin?
I always learn so much from your videos! thank you
I just ordered a lot of these products. I've learned a lot from your videos
Can I just say WOW! I came across your retinoids vs retinals video and was blown away!! I will be subscribing! I’ve been sitting here watching all your Ordinary Videos.
Ok I am extremely new to real skin care. By that I mean, I am exploring more than just face wash spf and moisturizer. I’ve always been real good about taking care of my skin. Morning and night washes making sure I use spf and moisturizer. Oh and occasionally would exfoliate.
With all that said I am 42 years old and I’m really becoming conscious of my enlarged pores, black heads (I thought were hereditary) and now the starting of fine lines and number 11’s between my eyes.
I stumbled across the ordinary a year ago and just recently started really purchasing other things rather than HA and Rosehip oil.
I bought the peeling solution and didn’t feel it was doing anything. Then again I was not religious with it. I have extremely oily skin so I’m thinking the salicylic acid might be better for me. I will purchase as soon as they restock.
My question: (and I’m sorry it’s taken this long to ask) is... How do you fit everything in your routine? I also derma roll with a .25 once a week so I am trying not to go overboard with acids.
I just started this journey about a month ago and I already see my large pores shrinking but I’m looking for a faster result. I want my acne scars gone and my #11’s. But I’m also very cautious because I do not want to do permanent damage. So how are you fitting it all in?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Thanks so much Tiffany! I'm always trying different things in skincare, so I try to do an updated skincare routine video when I can - I've done one that you have have missed which is how to create a routine, that should help! xx
ruclips.net/video/IOA15l2_8MY/видео.html
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much for the review!
I am using a derma abrasion tool that I really like. I just started using the AHA 30% + the lactic acid yesterday. I had no reaction and liked that the pores on my nose looked smaller. Also the redness at the sides of my nostrils seemed less pink :) I do have dry skin (61) but not sensitive skin. I appreciate the additional information. I had no idea what the AHA and BHA stood for! :)
I've been using these for 6 months and now just stared using the 30% AHA 2% BHA and I find it lovely. I made a video about how I use these and how I use chemical peels. I use 60% lactic and glycolic peels. I'm use to it. I don't even get irritated from them.
Super informative! Thank you!
Hi Karen! This is great! I love your videos on The Ordinary! I've been trying several of their products for a month now and I have really enjoyed them. My favorites are the lactic acid 5% and the vitamin c suspension. My question is why wait between the lactic acid and applying oils/moisturizer? I have very dry, sensitive skin with mild rosacea, no oil or acne. At night I do the vitamin c twice a week, the retinoid once a week and lactic acid the other four days. All in conjunction with the rest of my routine of cleanser, toner, oils of course. I'm new to all of this and I'm loving the results so far, just don't want to melt my face off. Hopefully I'm not doing too much although it doesn't feel like I am. Thanks for your help!
I just watched your video on ph levels so you've already answered my question!😂 I find it all very interesting and I appreciate your research!
Excellent, I was going to ask if you'd watched the PH one :0) Thanks lovely! xx
Jenny Hansen wow seems like you and me are on the same page at the moment as like yourself I am new too to all this. At night I use the 0.025 retin A once per week...starting slowly as they recommend. I use the 23% suspension too and have built this up to 2 times per week. Rest of the week I use either the P50w lotion and niacinamide or only the niacinamide...in conjunction with the rest of my products /routine. But I have not yet ordered the lactic acid and would love to try this and incorporate it in my regime on some nights...If you have any hints or tips as we are both new starters it would be most welcome.
Fabulous video Karen, so helpful! 😊 Thank you 😊
Very clear explanation, one of the best videos (if not best) about the ordinary acid products😀
love reading your views
Thanks for another great Ordinary video!! Have you ordered their foundations? I can't wait for those to arrive!!
NNTR i wish people would use the (NNTR Best idea ever less stress for you) Brilliant information as always. Only acid I bought is not in this I think it's one you did before. I always wait for your thoughts. I'm using 4 of The Ordinary products. Loving them. Ditched the 1% Retinol? Too harsh on the 2% now one of your other viewers said she loved. yes very happy. Thank you Karen
Hi Karen, Thank you for this thorough review! I have fairly sensitive skin and am enjoying the Ordinary's 5% lactic acid, the matryxl serum and I've just started the argirilene serum. So far so good! My skin has responded well to the 5%lactic acid so next time, I'll try the 10%. Just subscribed😄😄
Hi Eve, thanks so much for subscribing! Welcome :0) Glad you are enjoying the lactic acid too! x
Paulas choice is too expencive, at least in Slovenia, so why not look for cheaper option, but good one. I bough from Paulas choice Resist intensive wrinkle repair with retinol for 44€, its very gentle product, but not efectiveas i was hoping.
salicylic acid has to be mixed with alcohol to dissolve so the witch hazel which has a very small amount of alcohol in it is actually a nicer alternative to actual grain ethanol. :-)
You have beautiful skin dear. Thank you for the lowdown. Im jumping in! Acids can be scary.☺⚘
I have the latic acid and i have a 12%glycolic acid lotion, I use them both as a treatment instead of leaving them on because I use Retin A every night and couldn't figure out how to work them into my routine. but I needed something to remove the bit of flakes I get from using my Retin A and this seems to work without any issues. Love the videos. Hugs.
Donna I use Refissa (Trentinoin) as well but use a Dew Puff to get any dry flakes off and it works perfectly. As for when to fit AHA's into your routine, have a night or two off offTrentinoin for your AHA's.
Can I use the glycolic toner the same night I use the aha30% + bha2% peeling solution? I only plan on using the peeling solution once a week to start but then use the glycolic toner daily. Also could I use a retnoid or retinal treatment with the glycolic toner as well
Stacy Marie i’m late but DONT use the glycolic acid and the peeling solution in the same night!!! alternate between the two and only use the peeling solution twice a week! it’s best to use them at night because they make you sensitive to sunlight
Fantastic videos! Thank you
love your channel! just subbed. Thank you for the informative video!
Thanks so much Simon and welcome :0) Karen x
you might remember I mentioned that using the ordinarys strong retinol 1% thing messed up my face got like a chemical burn, I feel like since that day I have somehow sensitized my skin and it has become so reactive to everything I have constant excema patches along my jaw it's soo wierd! I have taken your advice about the no water thing which I forgot to ask that miccelar water has water in it but I'm guessing it's purified..? anyway someday I can only use cetaphil for moisture no treatments. now I am glad about the retinoid in the dropper bottle is so Mild! i might give the mask a try since u mentioned no burning or stinging thanks for all the info Karen I look forward to the foundation review! xx
Lorraine Mingoia
hi there...I sympathise with you... similar reaction with a hyluronic acid serum....its been a real struggle trying to get my original skin back...its so sensitive now x
ahhhh so you can use the glycolic toner on the same night as the lactic acid? I was wondering about this because I have combo skin, dry and textured cheeks with an oily t zone and I'm prone to acne. I remember asking on someone else's video and was told that it was a nono which I wasn't really convinced about. will you be trying out the ordinary foundation? I hope they have a good ghostly shade for me 👻
Yes, exactly, you can use both! I really want to try the foundation, but apparently I have to wait another 3 weeks (ordered 3 weeks ago) to get it :0( x
eek. it's so high in demand, I didn't pre-order because I wanted to see swatches first. I'm just really hard to match so most foundations are too dark, I'm 41 in the kat von d foundation but I can't afford it so I'm hoping these go light
Your skin really looks amazing. I think these products are working well for you. I adore my lactic acid 10%. My skin loves, and responds well to it. I really want to try the peel but it's not available to Canada for shipment yet.
Love the whole line. Thanks for the wonderful and informative reviews.
Cheers!!!
hey, for the AHA BHA Peel, it is never going to be available in Canada unfortunately:( Canada's restrictions on acid products is very strict and the concentration The Ordinary offers goes over the limit for Canadian restrictions :( Kinda of weird because this is a Canadian company, you would think they would sell products that can be sold in Canada...but oh well, i hope they come out with something that is able to be sold in Canada
Zechner5 I am in Canada and recently ordered the 30% peel from Beauylish. The Ordinary can't sell it directly in Canada due to our stricter rules about the allowable lactic acid %. Because Beauylish is in the US and they do not have the same strict regulations, they can carry the product there. They can then ship that product anywhere. Just a little work around for us Canadians! I ordered 3 bottles to stock up! I have used it a couple of times and it works really well.
Emily Coppa ... read below. Going to order from beautylish. ☺️
Laurie Nash thank you! I am going to go this route. 👌
awesome thank you so much for letting me know!!
Your hair looks wonderful like that! I just ordered lactic acid. I have dry skin. I won't use it on retin a nights. Can't wait to get it. Are the bumps on your chin milia? Another esthetician who has them said that's what she had in a video and she called them little white bumps.
No, milia are white lumps that don't "pop" - I do have some milia under my eyes though. The chin is just tiny whiteheads! x
Another great video Karen
Very informative!! I started using the glycolic acid toner the last month or so along with the vitamin C 30% suspension in silicone and the hyaluronic acid serum. I had no reaction except for tingling that stopped after sometime. I recently ordered the lactic acid 10% and the resveratrol and ferulic acid serum. I used the glycolic acid toner every other night together with the hyaluronic acid, resveratrol and ferulic acid serum and the vitamin C before my moisturizer (since I use a tretinoin cream on its own the other nights) and the lactic acid in the mornings with the ferulic acid and vitamin C with a high spf sunscreen. After a couple of days I woke up with an irritation and flaky skin around my nose and cheeks. I stopped using everything for a while except for moisturizer. Any suggestions why this happened? And how to combine them without a problem?
Very informative. Thank you! :)
hi 😊 great videos very imformative, just wondering can I mix my glycolic acid and salicylic acid in the same skin care routine? are there products I shouldn't mix together, thanks x
missot1991 i would not use them together as they are both acids and can seriously irritate your skin. Salicylic acid is on the more drying side. I would not mix your own because you need to get the right ratio or it could be damaging to the skin.
Good morning Karen, just wanted to say I love watching your videos and your so informative and impressionable.. It makes my day when you bring out your notes.
I don't usually do this but Id like to make a request for a video and that's essence and weither it's worth it or not. Thank you 🌼
Thanks so much Kirsty! I have done one Essence haul a few years ago but sadly I have on access to them near me (and I generally don't buy online unless I know the product already)- ruclips.net/video/P8EYS3CZN8c/видео.html
xx
Thanks for such a great video outlining all of these! Question, will using the glycolic toner fade or eliminate/ruin my Tan Luxe fake tan on my face? I bought it to use as a toner AM and PM after cleansing and 5% lactic acid at night. I bought 5% to match the % of the Sunday Riley Good Genes that’s so pricey.
I love your videos!
Have a wonderful week!
~Marge
😘💋
Hi Marge! Yes, I'm afraid Glycolic acid is likely to affect your fake tan :0( All of the products you mention will affect your tan. I still use tan, but its definitely not easy to get it to last and/or not be patchy now. x
Hi Karen! Another great video! I love watching your videos because they are so informative!!! Thanks you! I've learned so much from watching your videos!
Do you know anything to get rid of facial hair? I feel like I have a beard or mustache sometimes! It's very annoying! Thanks!!!'
I have PCOS but thankfully don't have too many hairy face problems thankfully. I DO however, get horrible little wiry hairs on my chin, and I use my epilator! x
That's what I get! I feel as if I'm always trying to pluck one out! LOL.
I love your hair and you wear that color well, you look great. Great video it's very informative
Is there one that’s best for skin tightening?
Another great video, very helpful. Thank you so much Karen !
I will only say that lactic acid 10% makes me break out 1 time on 3 (on my chin mainly and sometimes on my cheek), but maybe "i go too far" with acids as you said, so my skin reacts badly :-(
Alice World
I have very sensitive skin and acne prone and I use Lactic acid for 4 months every other night 😄👍 and when I started to use it my skin start to cleared and I got more acne...was kinda scary, but I new what is happening with my skin...and after 2 months the cleaning process stops, my skin is clean, clear of acne and all of the bad "stuff" in my pores🤗👍
Maybe you was going through the same thing with your skin 😕 I hope this help 😄🐇🐰
Thank you @Hanna Augustyn ! I will give another try to lactic acid 10% and try to be more patient ! Or start more slowly with it ;-)
You could of had a purging effect.
Hi Karen, been waiting for this video and it was really helpful thanks. I have all the ones you have except the salicylic (soon to be rectified) and really enjoy them. I was wondering though if you have any thoughts on the alpha lipoic acid? I'm tempted to add it in to my regime but don't know if I'll be going overboard.
I've just filmed my review of the Alpha Lipoic :0) Should be up soon. x
wonderful thanks!
When do you typically use your aha/bha peeling? And what do you use afterwards? Thank you
Have you seen my skincare routine videos? All info in those :0) x
Very helpful!!thanks
Hi thankyou so much for you video
Iv learned so much. As a night time routine can I use the lactic acid and retoind from the ordinary range together ? If so which do I use 1st .thankyou xx
Thanks Karen! This was extremely helpful! I watched the entire video and took notes! You answered most of my questions, but I still have one. I have normal skin, no breakouts, and "hearty" as you say. My problem is the dark spots. Do you think any of these would help? Currently I use Retin-A mixed with 2% hydroquinone which has helped but not much. Any suggestions? xo Marlene
Thanks so much Marlene! I wouldn't recommend acids for dark spots no - I will be doing a skincare routine video for each skin type/issue at some point, so will ensure I cover this, but I'd recommend either Alpha Lipoic acid (video coming on that in next week) or Alpha Arbutin (personally I'd go for this one first). A good dose of Vitamin C in any form would be good too :0) Hope that helps chica! x
You're the best! Thanks so much! I do use Vit C but need a better one than the Timeless I'm using. I'll get the Alpha Arbutin! Gracias! xoxo
Thanks Karen via Marlene's question you have answered mine x
Marlene Fab & Glam Over 50 hi, I'm also looking for a good vitamin c...did you manage to find one that is better than the timeless? Thanks
SonR R Hi! I just started with Ole Henriksen that many of my friends recommend, but it's really too soon to tell. Another one that I hear is a good one is the one by Skindeva (pretty pricey). I have high hopes for the Henriksen. There's a trio available called 3 little wonders by Henriksen, so you can try the products first. A little goes a long way, so this trio should last 2 - 4 weeks! Hope this helps! xo
You're awesome! Thanks for the tips, I have just one question and this is should I apply any moisturizer or lotion after the acid and is there a problem if I do? Also is there a problem if I apply foundation (CC cream) after these and what do you recommend before foundation?
I would recommend watching my video on how to build a skincare routine, but yes moisturiser can be put on after acids but some people (inc me) like to wait 20 mins. No problem with foundation after those and the only thing before foundation would be Primer. Oh and make sure you use an SPF of course :0) x
Hi! I just bought the glycolic acid toner and the lactic acid 10% can I use them in the same routine? Or do I alternate them and if I do how should I use them? Thank you
Where?? On face?
I have the same question as Isa Vera. I have both glycolic acid toner and lactic acid 10% both from the ordinary and I would like to know if I can use them together at the same time. Response will be greatly appreciated.
@@Zainab-Creates Technically you can, however the problem with using multiple acids at high concentrations is that you can severely irritate and dry out your skin. On top of that both glycolic and lactic acid do the same things just to different degrees, so it’s probably best to pick one acid and use it consistently, or find a product that is formulated with both acids, but that also has the correct ph and % for each acid.
I like your hair pinned back. When I used the aha/bha peel the first time my husband asked what was wrong with my face (the red) lol. I would love an update on The Ordinary products you are using regularly. Thanks for another comprehensive video.
Thanks Karen! Did you watch the video called My skincare routine? That talks about what Ordinary products I'm using and testing just now :0) x
I used glulycolic toner.i got very big pimples. Is it that if i had already pimples it creates more breakouts
Aruna Adhikari It takes time to see the change.. keep going! It will definitely help!
Me too
Hey Love :) I have used the AHA20% BHA2% Peeling mask now two times within one week and my skin is starting to peel a bit in a few places. Is it suppose to do that (after all it's called PEELING solution, right? lol) or does that mean I have done something wrong or maybe my skin can't take it? I left it on for about 8-10 minutes and put some TO buffet on afterwards. It's nothing major, just a few slightly red and dry patches where the skin is peeling a bit. And also I am wondering, if I should continue to use it? Some say, to keep going, especially when skin is peeling and some say to stop immediately. I'm confused :-)))) Thanks for any advice. xxoo
Ok, so I went ahead and used it again. Skin looks really bright and glowy at first, two days later, again, I am getting these red patches and when I pick on them I can see skin starting to peel off. Should I just stay away from this product? Am I doing something wrong? Please help :-(
As far as I have heard concerning products like AHA/BHA same as retinols, BPO and so on, it is said, that your skin slowly needs to get used to the products and can react with dryness and red patches. You should go slowly in % - means slowly rising levels, same as amount of use. First once a week, then maybe after a couple of weeks twice a week and so on. Also you should not pick on the skin peeling off manually but wait until it peels off by itself and you can give your skin especially the red patches extra skin care: moisturizer and on top of this a rich and oily formulation to help your skin recover. I've read on the Super Twins Blog that they use "Eucerin Aquaphor" for this purpose. If I encounter red patches and dryness I honestly just apply some Vaseline/petroleum jelly on the spots or a rich formulation which I wouldn't usually use because I have oily skin in the T-zone. Calming incredients like panthenol would be a good idea too, i guess. I hope that helps.
my doctor gave me a pad of glycolic acid with salicylic acid and i wanna know how long takes to brighten my skin and remove dark sun tanned skin? i must just apply few times weekly
Do not use them every day or together in the same routine. I would say 3 times a week especially if you have not used acids before. I would also recommend the rice wash off mask from cosrx to lighten your skin or you could mix your own rice if you don't care about the mess and texture.
Thanks for such a great informative video! I've just started using the salicylic acid mostly for targeted areas where I have more acne or congestion. I'd like to be able to stop using manual exfoliation, so I'm tempted by either the lactic acid or glycolic toner for surface exfoliation (My skin is sensitive so thought about the lactic rather than glycolic). However I already layer two serums including the salicylic so think three might be two much! Which product or regime would you recommend?
HI Karen. Good video as ever. I'm doing a similar routine. Can you explain how to use the AHA/BHA as a treatment? You said it shouldn't be left on, so how long are you leaving it on for, and how are you taking it off? many thanks.
Fab. Thank you! x
I've got oily skin so I'm loving the aha+bha peel (ordered salicylic acid now I know bha works for me) I was wondering, now my pores are more cleared out, will the ahas work more now they can penetrate easier?
Which would you recommend for normal to slightly dry skin with mild rosacea? Would the toner and lactic acid be good for that?
I absolutely LOVE your videos!!!!🤓😻😺 I wanted to ask you where you go to do your research on ingredients and products?! I hVe my own skincare blog and am trying to find different places to go for my own research! Pretty please help a sista out! 😸
Thanks so much Megan - I go to so many different places - I use Google Scholar, plus I use research databases, general google searches, and sometimes even ask my ex colleagues from the hospital! I also still have all my own books on both skincare and my medical books from my Health Sciences course. x
Do you use glycolic followed by retinoid 2%? Or, perhaps just with the lactic acid?
I have been experiencing some slight hairloss, i assume its pcos related and I have found a hair care trio by OGX that has niacin and caffeine in it that supposedly helps hair fallout. I am purchasing more niacinamide and caffeine in my the ordinary order, could I not just add some to my current shampoo/conditioner (or rub some onto my scalp before washing) instead of purchasing the OGX ones?
I've just purchased the BHA/AHA peeling solution couple of days ago and I have high hopes for it, so fingers crossed it works for me too. Also I ordered their foundation and I can't wait to test it out. Did you plan on buying their foundation in the future? I hear good things 🙂
I have ordered the foundation (3 weeks ago!) but apparently they don't have enough stock so they told me I won't get it for another 2 or 3 weeks!
Great, that means I'll wait for it even longer, but the last time I ordered wasn't much better so I prepared myself for it this time around. Also, because they have so many shades, I wonder what very fair means to them (I ordered 1.0P), in comparison to my current foundation (colorstay ivory), it will be fun to find out. Also, love your videos, they are so informative - thumbs up!
I'm on the fence but after your thorough review, i think I've fallen off! I'm going to give them a try 🎀
Do you use NIODs CAIS and MMHC?
Hi I was wondering if I can use the aha+bha peeling solution and the lactic acid 5% on the same day ?
Same question right here
Please don't! I use the Peeling solution twice a week (Monday night and Friday night) the follow with Paula's Choice CALM toner, serum and Moisturizer. You have to be extremely careful with your skin when using this peeling.
Where does Niacinamide fit in? I have that from The Ordinary and I use it to clear out my pores. Is it a BHA or something else?
Niacinimide is NOT an acid exfoliant (not a BHA or AHA) :)
Thanks Emily
Is it alright to use the toner after the 30% AHA 2% BHA peel?
Jakob Reid probably shouldn’t since you’re adding even more acid on.
Its not recommended because the peeling solution is known to be strong enough, so the acid toner would irritate the skin (sensitive after de peeling)
There is no need to do that since the 30% peel already has an AHA in it.
Hi Karen, great video thanks. I have some of The Ordinary products but it can get confusing! I use the Lactic Acid 10% at night, but I leave it on (should I not?) I also have the 2% Retinol. Do you think I can put on the 2% a couple of hours after the lactic acid? I've no irritation at all but I don't know if they can work together? Thanks.
Hi Val - yes, you should leave the Lactic Acid on. If you wait a few hours, it should be fine to use the 2% Retinoid if that's what you meant, but if you mean 1% Retinol then I wouldn't recommend it as its irritating for most people and this would make it worse potentially. x
Do you think it’s okay to use the retinoid with the glycolic acid toning solution?
I have both and have used both but it did make my skin a lot more sensitive..I wouldnt use them together on the same day..I alternate them now
I have a question. I have heard that AHAs should not be used with retinoids/retinol etc. I love using the ordinary retinoid every single day, it has made a huge huge difference to my skin. Paula's choice says that you can use AHAs with retinoids and you should. What is your opinion about that? I trust your recommendations. Thank you
Hi SKK, I discuss that exact thing, and talk about the PC research, in either of these videos (can't remember which now!) ruclips.net/video/XFNr8NlQNns/видео.html
Or this ruclips.net/video/JLu-kUeA3zQ/видео.html
Mrs Gingers Beauty Channel. I watched the video and also read the articles related to this topic. I've decided after reading to not use them together in the same routine but to use them on alternate days. Thank you a lot. I love your videos
S.K K I stared out using them on different days but my skin is now use yo all these peels, retinonals, and setups my skin doesn't even seem to get bothered anymore.
😍 🙌🏾👍🏽
I am waiting on my order, but the salicylic acid looks so small compare to the other bottles. I wanted to get the Glycolic acid but it was out of stock. I do have oily skin on my T-zone so went with the BHA which I use as a toner already but its 0.5%. Will the 2% BHA last me at least a month?
Don't worry about the Salicylic acid being small, you only need the tiniest amount so it will last ages. I can't say how long the BHA will last you I'm afraid, it depends on how much you use and how often. x
I use the salicylic acid daily and its lasted over two months and still going x
Hi, how big is your salicylic bottle? just realised mine looks alot bigger 30ml and is same size as my other ordinary products. Not sure if they changed the size xx
How did you do with the Salicylic acid for the little whiteheads you had?
I did a whole video on it hun, giving photos etc :0) ruclips.net/video/b50Xnm0hnyQ/видео.html
Mrs Gingers Beauty Channel I'm so sorry! Thank you so much for the link! You're channel is Fantastic! 😘
salicylic acid penetrates deep into skin and unclogs the pores which is why you had white heads, but it also can mean you used it to frequently that your skin compensated for the moisture loss.
Can i layer lactic acid and saliyci acid?
Yes
Yes you can layer AHAs with BHAs
hello, you're probably sick of these questions lol >_< but....I have brought some product's and confused on if I can mix ect, so I have..Hydraulic acid, Matrixyl, lactic acid aha/bha peel and niacinamide, what order and can they be mixed? I have dryish skin, thank you
This video should cover it :0) ruclips.net/video/JLu-kUeA3zQ/видео.html
Hi Can I mix salicylic acid and latic acid on the same day? Thanks
I wouldn't recommend that, no. x
(I'm not an Aesthetician though). x
Hello thanks for the information. Do you think the glyco toner is a good sub for AHA liquid gold...I love the liquid gold but it is expensive
I'd always say the Ordinary one over the liquid gold as LG has denatured alcohol as the 2nd ingredient! x
