*GLYCOLIC TONER PSA!* when I did an updated video discussing what products to use in the a.m. and p.m., I did realize that the ordinary specifically states that once a day use (pm) is recommended for the glycolic acid toner. Just the way some drs prescribe retinoic acid for wrinkles etc., many products are often used off label. At the end of the day, it’s up to each person‘s skin and patch testing to determine what is safe and what is not. Having a long-standing history with acne scars, I find that my face can easily tolerate it twice daily - I’ve never felt a burn from the AHA BHA masque/peel either - that being said, for someone who is trying glycolic acid for the very first time, they may not be able to tolerate even one use. I really appreciate everyone bringing this up, and to my attention! If you are looking to tone in both the morning and the evening, it’s still something that I enjoy. I hope this helps and I hope you’re having a great day! 
I need help/advice from You. Which product would you choose for scars: The Buffet, Lactic acid 10% or Organic cold-pressed rose hip seed oil? In my shopping bag I have all other products that You named in this video, but I can not decide which from these 3 products to choose.
Pre cleanser Micellar gel cleanser Squalane cleanser Niacinamide 10% Cold Rosehip oil Plant derived squalane And centella sunscreen Are these okay to use together it was recommended for my combination skin ? :)and do I really need another moisturizer
Thanks for clearing this up! I am following one of the regimens recommended by The Ordinary (textural irregularities). They recommend the use of the toner AND the Granactive Retinoid 2% or 5% in Squalane for PM (theordinary.deciem.com/regimenguide). My question is: is there a fundamental difference between this granactive retinoid and the one you mention in this video ? I ask because you recommend using either the toner OR the retinoid, but not both products together. I've been following this regimen for about a year now and have definitely seen a lot of improvement, just want to make sure I'm doing it right. P.S. I love your channel and the content you provide. Definitely my favourite quarantine discovery
I contacted the ordinary with pictures and my skin concerns. They sent me a full am and pm routine well except for a cleanser and a sunscreen but I already had those. Everything together was $70 with the small sizes not the new larger sizes. I love your channel I just want people to know they have an option to talk to the ordinary.
So true! This will sound horrible but I’m 37 now and have NEVER used sunscreen in my life (except when I was a young child). I have recently started using it, as much as I hate it, but only on my face. I really need to start putting it on my body too 😕
I have a Biology and a Chemistry degree and I have been teaching at the College and High School level for over ten years. I love how informative and accurate your explanations are.
Cassandra, thank you so much ❤️! I really appreciate all of your hard work investigating product's ingredients, coming up with routines for most skin types, and putting all of this precious info into a short yt video 🙌💗!
ordered all these products a week ago & my roder came in the mail earlier today. cant wait to apply the nightime routine. So so grateful to have stumbled across your channel and the realness you spew. Thanks babe!
Thank you so much! I LOVE that I didn't have to watch a billion videos and take notes, you have it all simplified here. You are amazing, so down to earth and honest. Please keep doing what you're doing, you're making a huge difference in the world♥️
Thank God I saw this video! I've been needing this for forever and it answers all of my questions and confusions. Thank you so much Cassandra! Love you!
I absolutely LOOOOVE your videos, WOW! I'm 27y/o and I recently started to see the consequences of not having a skincare routine. I had no clue how to start a routine but now I do thanks to you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Do you review other affordable brands because The Ordinary doesn't work for everyone? You are very knowledgeable about ingredients and I would love information on other affordable brands.
The Inkey List, Revolution, Simple, Cereve, Aveeno and Neutrogena are probably your best bet. There aren't that many out there... Some K-beauty brands are quite affordable but I don't know much about them. Cosrx and Krave are the only ones I'm kinda that familiar with.
I’ve been using soonjung like from etude. The foam wash, toner, emulsion , and barrier repair cream. It works really well and is simple and my skin feels great after.
Thank you so much for the glycolic acid + retinoid tips! A lot of times we forget about the pH of the products and want to put all things at one go so that reminder is very useful.
I've just recently come across your channel and I wanted to thank you for all your advice! I absolutely love your videos on the ordinary because as a poor uni student i couldn't afford to have a good skincare routine. I've started using some of the ordinary products you've recommended (niacinamide) and its done wonders for my oily skin !! thank you so so much!
thank you thank you thank you. have been slowly transitioning to and rebuilding my daily routine with the ordinary products and have seen my aging skin improve (esp challenging after moving countries, experiencing different weather, pollution and stress levels) love your honesty and recommendations. could not be more grateful.
Thank you, Ms. Cassandra. Because of your informative videos, I have purchase a customized regimen from The Ordinary and am looking forward to the positive benefits from their products and your videos on how to use their products. You are an amazing, educated, and caring individual.... thank you so *much* for what you to do to help others with skin issues. Rock ON!
I just made it to my 30s and I’ve been heavily investing into my skin for a year now. Thank you for showing me the way to good yet affordable skin care. Thank you for your easy explanation on the products, usage and skin reactions. I truly appreciate your knowledge and time.
Love your energy and fun you put into the video! Anyway it would be great if you can make a full skincare routine for combination and acne prone with sensitive skin xx
Glycolic acid toner used to dry my skin like CRAZY, like sandpaper dry but I’ve recently started applying aloe Vera gel afterwards and now I’m seeing the full effect of it I need it now 👏🏼👏🏼
Cassanda is the only one who were able to convinced me to use The Ordinary products and she did not go wrong. It really works very well you just have to be patient coz for me it works a lil bit slow but it worked especially the niacinamide. Thank you very much Cassandra for all your hadrworks. You don’t how much you helped a lot of people. God bless you!
Thank you for this video!!!!!!! After watching this video, I have changed my skincare and after two weeks I saw such a difference! I was able to go out without having to conceal any blemishes. I haven’t been able to do so in years! For the morning, I use the envyuskin acne soap, the boissance dark spot corrector, and then the ordinary moisturizer (I limit the products during the day since I have oil and acne prone skin). In the evening, I use the envyuskin charcoal acne soap, the ordinary toner, the ordinary niaminacide and zinc serum, the boissance dark spot corrector, and then the ordinary moisturizer.
Hi Cassandra, The first time I watched your video on how to cover acne with makeup was when I started suffering from acne in 2012. I found your youtube channel again two months ago, I still had acne back then. Last month, I decided to analyse your videos and fully trust you to create my daily am/pm routine. I bought all products and after one week, I could see clear results : my skin now looks AMAZING. It's been one month, and I don't think I will ever change my routine. I write this long comment to say thank you. You helped me way more than any skin specialist I ever consulted over the last 9+ years. Here is the routine if someone is curious about it : (note: it does not include cleanser as I am using Aesop's Amazing face cleanser which I bought before) AM: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner Glossier Super Pure Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Zinc Serum The Ordinary Buffet The Ordinary SPF 30 + Antioxidants 100% Pure Mattifying Primer PM: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner The Ordinary Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 8 Alpha Arbutin 2 The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Since I'm on quarantine, I've started to use The Ordinary products more often, and wear no make-up for weeks. Now I could say toner is wow, It 's really helps improve skin texture. Also i've started to use Buffet more often than Niacinamide, may be because of toning effect it works better now.
Cassandra you should do some videos for all skin types recommending what products to use. For dry sensitive acne prone skin, oily acne prone skin. And so on I think people would love it and it would actually be very helpful for a lot of us. You should also talk about the products on correct format you use them which would also help us know what to use first and after.
Cassandra, I love your hair! Could you possibly do any hair routine/styling tips video someday? I'd love to know how you do your, especially since I have curly hair like yours and would love to know how you deal with it to make it look so gorgeous everytime. 😍💕
Between the recommendations by you and Skincare by Hyram, I am set for starting a new routine! I don't actually have one at all right now other than wash and moisturize, so I'm super excited to get my new products in the mail!
Same. I have ordered the Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask, the Ordinary 10% Niacinamide + Zinc 1% and the Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors. I hope they work well for my skin and I don’t get a bad reaction. 🤞🏻
I have used The Ordinary products for @ 18 months and love them all. My daughter has oily, closed comedom prone skin, I bought her a range of products and she is hooked too. I am in my 60's with extremely dry skin, these are the first products that seem to help the dryness, the aging and are affordable
I watched all your videos and I'm gonna buy these, thank you so much for all the time and energy you spent explaining everything to the core.. Your amazing ❤️
I’m only two days in so I’m probably premature with my post, but I truly love how these products feel. I’m a stay at home mom who rarely puts on makeup, so the cleanser is great! Even on the days I put on a little bit of makeup, it washes it clean off! Fantastic. Also, I’ve never had acne until I become an adult, so it’s been interesting trying to find something that works with older skin, yet tackles acne without further drying my face out. I also hate moisturizers that leave your skin feeling oiling. I can honestly say this moisturizer is amazing. I truly feel like it simply hydrates my skin. It doesn’t feel oily, and it doesn’t feel caked. I absolutely love it. As far as the toner “Glycolic Acid” or the “retinoids” my adult acne isn’t that bad, so I’m a bit hesitant to use one of them every night. It’s really strong when it comes to exfoliating.
1:03 I never thought about that!!! 😯😯😯 products from your hair can touch your face if you sleep with your hair down. I mean duh right? I just never thought about it. Thank you for your videos! ❤ I've been thinking about trying a new face routine - The Original 🤩
I LOVE your videos so much!! I'm always learning from you and my skin is so much better for it. Thank you for putting in the hard work to get the information out to us xx
I love The ordinary! I use alot of their products and I'm very happy with them. The only thing I would love is if they could formulate a mineral SPF without comedogenic and fungal acne trigger ingredients. At least not so high up on the ingredient list. Perferably under the 1% line.
Thank you for your in depth videos they are super helpful! I was just wondering if chemical peels can be combined with polypeptides such as “buffet” because the chemical peel could denaturate the proteins. Therefore I’ve always used them separately am and pm. Is there any point in doing so or are they really fine to layer?
You have taught me so much about the Ordinary!! Thank you!! I love that brand! Question.... can I use the Ordinary glycolic acid 7% toner with the Buffet at night?
Ok. I legit have to say. You are Stunning. Beauty, brains, sense of humor and love that you're one of us that truly try to spend our money with brands that correlate with our morals. I would love to see you review platinum skincare. Specifically the Retinoid Serum, the Stem cell serum and their tca peels😍 I can't find a single review on anything besides peels.
This kickstarted my obsession with The Ordinary.....I’m one step away from wearing a flower crown and dancing around an shrine of Ordinary products.....
What is your most recommended The Ordinary “Vitamin C”? I saw you do a video on the L Ascorbic Acid Powder as well, so I’m just wondering which you think is best to use? Thanks!
Ever since quarantine started I don’t wear makeup anymore and I don’t wash my face in the morning either and my skin looks better than before it’s amazing . I’m going to try these ordinary products thx for the video 😊
I loved this information!! After turning and learning, I’ve thrown away a lot of useless products & have just brought this range of The Ordinary products. (however this routine in Australian dollars was much more expensive then $100, but I’m sure it’ll be totally worth it). Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge xo
@@viviangallego162 wait this is so cool wtf I'm thinking about studying pharmacy which has alot of chemistry, but I don't have a chemistry class in my a-level I have maths and physics Do you think I can still understand it if I do some chemistry courses? I don't know anythink about chemistry but I really like it (I know it sounds weird)
@@ragh9014 Hi, I'm not very knowledgable on how you would get your qualifications in the UK (I'm assuming that's where you're at) but I know that to get a chem degree you need a pretty specific set of courses so I would recommend you talk to someone at your university who knows how to help you! Chemistry does involve a lot of math and physics, but if you're looking to study pharmacy it's pretty involved and requires some rigorous courses. If you don't have a program that offers biochem or chem, I would suggest discussing your plans with someone because they know exactly how to help : )
@@viviangallego162 I'm from Germany and technically, you can get into a university with that field, but I don't know if I can understand anything in there you know😅😂
I’m someone with very dry skin as I am a guy, I’ve been using that niacinamide, not to lighten dark spots but I find that it works better to soften and firm my skin. I doesn’t leave my skin tight, however it does ball up if put together with certain other products that I’ve used from the same line. I’d say you can go without their moisturizer, it’s great for the price but even then it’s not worth having to use a heavier moisturizer over it. I also don’t appreciate the satin matte finish. And I don’t wear makeup but if you use sunscreen I find that I have to double cleanse. I just don’t think that their squalene cleanser is strong enough to remove everything. I know that it works (tested it out different ways) but sometimes it feels like it absolutely did nothing but absorb into my skin. It’s also not hydrating for dry skin.
That is so weird. I have combo to dry skin and everytime I use the ordinary niacinamide my skin has a bad reaction to it. Everything is dry and my cheeks get flushed for a few days. I can solve the dryness by using a thicker moisturizer, but my cheeks still get red.
@Tina Yael Severinova M. damn, I struggle to convince myself that the flushing and the dryness is from the niacinamide too. It's just that everybody seems to have a life-changing results with it. I kind of tell myself that maybe it's something else that's doing that to my face and I find myself everyother week using it, only to find out it fucked up my face once again...
@Tina Yael Severinova M. Do you get those only with the ordinary niacinamide? Because I only have this problem with the ordinary's one, so it could be the same in your case. Try using other products with niacinamide in them, but at lower concentrations.
thank u for creating this like fr...this video is godsend at the right time cause i was snooping around sephora with youth to the ppl products knocking on my door and my cart, so that's getting removed from my cart for sure lol. i did buy 5 products of The Ordinary and i'm very excited to use them and plan my regimen accordingly! love your opinion and love your skin omg its amazing!
Oh this is sooo validating! Just found you (loving your science-backed skin content!) and i have nearly all of these products. ❤️ETA: - I don’t have the toner (I do only occasionally use the Mario bedesco witch hazel and rose water toner) -I DO use: -Their marine hyaloranics (lurve) -rosehip oil for moisturizing -cerave lotion for creating that barrier. And I was told by The Ordinary skin professional to use a makeup wipe if wearing heavy makeup because the cleanser does not remove makeup. I’m usually a light makeup wearer so it’s no big, but thought I would mention that since you specifically mentioned that it has trouble taking off makeup. My FAVORITE thing about the ordinary is how knowledgeable and accessible their professionals are. They really will take a phone call and customize a routine for you based on your skin!
I wanna know your favorites when it comes to skincare like you said face wash and mask was not your fav . you are absuluty adorable and love how cheery you are 😘
Wait! I have questions - 1. What is a neutraliser and which ones would you recommend after the chemical peel? 2. What if I use the peptide instead of the toner, where do I go with the routine then? Ps I love your videos and really hope you see this comment 😁
For toner I am using biore witch hazel. After that I have to use ponds moisturizer. But I have been thinking of ordering these, but with coronavirus I’m waiting for this to die down.
You can put order on their web-site, however shipping may takes longer than usual. Anyway, it takes about 2 month to deliver products to my bizarre country)
because it’s still pretty dry and cold where i am (spring come faster!), id say that if the moisturizer isn’t enough, the ordinary offers some facial oils that u can mix in or put on top of the moisturizer!! it definitely helps your akin retain even more moisture if u need it overnight.
Double cleansing at night and using a miceller gel cleanser in the morning would be a lot better. I know it's theoretically possible but I have zero idea why anyone would base their whole routine on the Ordinary. Believe it or not, there are products equal to or better than their's at roughly the same price point.
LeahofWoW At PM moisturise first and the use the oil. It works as an occlusive to seal the hydration in. If you put the moisturiser after the oil it won't penetrate into your skin because of the barrier that the oil has created. 🙂
I would also try to avoid using an oil after using hyaluronic acid. It's supposed to draw moisture to your skin, but if you're "sealing it in" with an oil it will draw moisture FROM your skin and it could dry you out even more.
Hello ladies😊 I just bought the squalane cleanser to wash off the little coconut oil i use to clean sunscreen and the little make up I use. Plus a retinol emulsion, buffet, the H.A b5, rose seed oil and the "pink" acid peel... for 50€!!! Cannot wait to try them and thank you once more, for saving us the hussle of spending ludicrous amounts of money on fancy stuff when less is more. ❤
Considering how budget oriented The Ordinary is I’m surprised the squalane cleanser is $8 for only 1oz. Especially when you can get an 8oz CeraVe cleanser for $9 or a 13.5oz La Roche Posay cleanser for $15...
I really want to love TO but I just can’t, every single product I tried seemed off and not suited for my skin. I’m gonna stick to Paula’s Choice and Korean skincare - those do wonders for my skin.
there are some great oils and hydrating products from the ordinary! although you may need something stronger than the natural moisturizing factors, i love their hyaluronic acid and i put it on my dry areas before i put on a moisturizer
Well I have both dry and sensitive skin, my eczema is so annoying🙄. It left dry scaly patches all over my face but I use the glycolic toner(after eczema healed) and it has been a miracle getting rid of dark patches. so then I purchased the niacinamide,buffet, and hyaluronic acid my moisture levels have improved tremendously!!! I only use toner at night with moisturizer.
This couch brought back so many memories lol I used to watch you all the time and just stumbled upon your channel again. Happy to see how much you’ve grown, you’ve always been so intelligent and sweet but even more so now.

Cassandra, I love your hair! Could you possibly do any hair routine/styling tips video someday? I'd love to know how you do your, especially since I have curly hair like yours and would love to know how you deal with it to make it look so gorgeous everytime. 😍💕
Between the recommendations by you and Skincare by Hyram, I am set for starting a new routine! I don't actually have one at all right now other than wash and moisturize, so I'm super excited to get my new products in the mail!
Same. I have ordered the Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask, the Ordinary 10% Niacinamide + Zinc 1% and the Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors. I hope they work well for my skin and I don’t get a bad reaction. 🤞🏻
Anna Same did they work for u??
I have used The Ordinary products for @ 18 months and love them all. My daughter has oily, closed comedom prone skin, I bought her a range of products and she is hooked too. I am in my 60's with extremely dry skin, these are the first products that seem to help the dryness, the aging and are affordable
you make me want to study the science behind alllllllll skin care and the human skin! so inspired
This color palette is ssooo aesthetically pleasing!! The yellow with the purple florals mixes ssooo well!! And You are glowing!!💘✨💖💓🥰
مرحبا 😷😷😷
Currently binging her content, so good
Same here!!
Laura DeJongh me toooooo
I watched all your videos and I'm gonna buy these, thank you so much for all the time and energy you spent explaining everything to the core.. Your amazing ❤️
I’m only two days in so I’m probably premature with my post, but I truly love how these products feel. I’m a stay at home mom who rarely puts on makeup, so the cleanser is great! Even on the days I put on a little bit of makeup, it washes it clean off! Fantastic. Also, I’ve never had acne until I become an adult, so it’s been interesting trying to find something that works with older skin, yet tackles acne without further drying my face out. I also hate moisturizers that leave your skin feeling oiling. I can honestly say this moisturizer is amazing. I truly feel like it simply hydrates my skin. It doesn’t feel oily, and it doesn’t feel caked. I absolutely love it. As far as the toner “Glycolic Acid” or the “retinoids” my adult acne isn’t that bad, so I’m a bit hesitant to use one of them every night. It’s really strong when it comes to exfoliating.
Since you mentioned how expensive Sephora is - Would you be down to review the Inkey list? Love your content btw!
1:03 I never thought about that!!! 😯😯😯 products from your hair can touch your face if you sleep with your hair down. I mean duh right? I just never thought about it. Thank you for your videos! ❤ I've been thinking about trying a new face routine - The Original 🤩
Honestly you should seriously hold lectures because you are so good at teaching people and explaining yourself so that everyone can keep up.
I LOVE your videos so much!! I'm always learning from you and my skin is so much better for it. Thank you for putting in the hard work to get the information out to us xx
I’m obsessed with The Ordinary thanks to you😂
I love The ordinary! I use alot of their products and I'm very happy with them. The only thing I would love is if they could formulate a mineral SPF without comedogenic and fungal acne trigger ingredients. At least not so high up on the ingredient list. Perferably under the 1% line.
Which ingredients trigger fungal acne?? I think i might have fungal acne, I'm still just learning about it
What is fungal acne
Oh my goodness, the video I’ve been waiting for. Thank you!
Seriously my fav youtube channel
Thank you for your in depth videos they are super helpful! I was just wondering if chemical peels can be combined with polypeptides such as “buffet” because the chemical peel could denaturate the proteins. Therefore I’ve always used them separately am and pm. Is there any point in doing so or are they really fine to layer?
You have taught me so much about the Ordinary!! Thank you!!
I love that brand!
Question.... can I use the Ordinary glycolic acid 7% toner with the Buffet at night?
omg THANK YOU SO MUCH! i've literally been WAITING for a video like this
Ok. I legit have to say. You are Stunning. Beauty, brains, sense of humor and love that you're one of us that truly try to spend our money with brands that correlate with our morals.
I would love to see you review platinum skincare. Specifically the Retinoid Serum, the Stem cell serum and their tca peels😍 I can't find a single review on anything besides peels.
This kickstarted my obsession with The Ordinary.....I’m one step away from wearing a flower crown and dancing around an shrine of Ordinary products.....
The cult of the ordinary
What is your most recommended The Ordinary “Vitamin C”? I saw you do a video on the L Ascorbic Acid Powder as well, so I’m just wondering which you think is best to use? Thanks!
Ever since quarantine started I don’t wear makeup anymore and I don’t wash my face in the morning either and my skin looks better than before it’s amazing . I’m going to try these ordinary products thx for the video 😊
I loved this information!!
After turning and learning, I’ve thrown away a lot of useless products & have just brought this range of The Ordinary products. (however this routine in Australian dollars was much more expensive then $100, but I’m sure it’ll be totally worth it).
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge xo
You’ve basically inspired me to switch my major to chemistry and possibly become a cosmetic chemist
Did you do it??
@@ragh9014 lol yes im now a chem major, havent regretted it
@@viviangallego162 wait this is so cool wtf
I'm thinking about studying pharmacy which has alot of chemistry, but I don't have a chemistry class in my a-level
I have maths and physics
Do you think I can still understand it if I do some chemistry courses?
I don't know anythink about chemistry but I really like it (I know it sounds weird)
@@ragh9014 Hi, I'm not very knowledgable on how you would get your qualifications in the UK (I'm assuming that's where you're at) but I know that to get a chem degree you need a pretty specific set of courses so I would recommend you talk to someone at your university who knows how to help you! Chemistry does involve a lot of math and physics, but if you're looking to study pharmacy it's pretty involved and requires some rigorous courses. If you don't have a program that offers biochem or chem, I would suggest discussing your plans with someone because they know exactly how to help : )
@@viviangallego162 I'm from Germany and technically, you can get into a university with that field, but I don't know if I can understand anything in there you know😅😂
I’m someone with very dry skin as I am a guy, I’ve been using that niacinamide, not to lighten dark spots but I find that it works better to soften and firm my skin. I doesn’t leave my skin tight, however it does ball up if put together with certain other products that I’ve used from the same line. I’d say you can go without their moisturizer, it’s great for the price but even then it’s not worth having to use a heavier moisturizer over it. I also don’t appreciate the satin matte finish. And I don’t wear makeup but if you use sunscreen I find that I have to double cleanse. I just don’t think that their squalene cleanser is strong enough to remove everything. I know that it works (tested it out different ways) but sometimes it feels like it absolutely did nothing but absorb into my skin. It’s also not hydrating for dry skin.
William Saavedra Im with you on the cleanser, i like it but I could go without and don’t reach for it over my other cleansers most days
That is so weird. I have combo to dry skin and everytime I use the ordinary niacinamide my skin has a bad reaction to it. Everything is dry and my cheeks get flushed for a few days. I can solve the dryness by using a thicker moisturizer, but my cheeks still get red.
@Tina Yael Severinova M. damn, I struggle to convince myself that the flushing and the dryness is from the niacinamide too. It's just that everybody seems to have a life-changing results with it. I kind of tell myself that maybe it's something else that's doing that to my face and I find myself everyother week using it, only to find out it fucked up my face once again...
@Tina Yael Severinova M. Do you get those only with the ordinary niacinamide? Because I only have this problem with the ordinary's one, so it could be the same in your case. Try using other products with niacinamide in them, but at lower concentrations.
William Saavedra The inkey list have a double cleanser that may help. I’ve not used if myself but, at least it’s reasonably priced if it doesn’t
I was so confused about what to buy by The Ordinary, but now I have cleared my mind!!! Thank you! ❤
thank u for creating this like fr...this video is godsend at the right time cause i was snooping around sephora with youth to the ppl products knocking on my door and my cart, so that's getting removed from my cart for sure lol. i did buy 5 products of The Ordinary and i'm very excited to use them and plan my regimen accordingly! love your opinion and love your skin omg its amazing!
I was wondering what acid neutraliser you would recommend using with the ordinary chemical peel product?
Do you have recommendations for cleansers? You mention you like other brands much more but haven't seen any videos on it.
Oh this is sooo validating! Just found you (loving your science-backed skin content!) and i have nearly all of these products. ❤️ETA:
- I don’t have the toner (I do only occasionally use the Mario bedesco witch hazel and rose water toner)
-I DO use:
-Their marine hyaloranics (lurve)
-rosehip oil for moisturizing
-cerave lotion for creating that barrier.
And I was told by The Ordinary skin professional to use a makeup wipe if wearing heavy makeup because the cleanser does not remove makeup. I’m usually a light makeup wearer so it’s no big, but thought I would mention that since you specifically mentioned that it has trouble taking off makeup. My FAVORITE thing about the ordinary is how knowledgeable and accessible their professionals are. They really will take a phone call and customize a routine for you based on your skin!
The peptides serum is really good, price vs quality is one of the best products on the market.
I wanna know your favorites when it comes to skincare like you said face wash and mask was not your fav . you are absuluty adorable and love how cheery you are 😘
I feel like Joey Tribuani from Friends.. I’m so confused! 😩
Joanne Smith same
I needed this video ... I have just been so confused on what to buy to build a am/pm routine Thank you
Love your videos Cassandra!! ❤️❤️ So helpful!!
Wait! I have questions -
1. What is a neutraliser and which ones would you recommend after the chemical peel?
2. What if I use the peptide instead of the toner, where do I go with the routine then?
Ps I love your videos and really hope you see this comment 😁
For toner I am using biore witch hazel. After that I have to use ponds moisturizer. But I have been thinking of ordering these, but with coronavirus I’m waiting for this to die down.
@Macie Frambach i think that glycolic acid toner must not be used with active ingredients such as niacinamide
They say on the website don't use strong acids together. So i can not use glycolic acid with the peeling solution in my skincare routine?
@Macie Frambach oh that is great thank you very much.
Definitely drop the witch hazel - doing that saved my skin
You can put order on their web-site, however shipping may takes longer than usual. Anyway, it takes about 2 month to deliver products to my bizarre country)
OMG this video is exactly what I needed been asking for! Thank you Cassandra 👌☺️
because it’s still pretty dry and cold where i am (spring come faster!), id say that if the moisturizer isn’t enough, the ordinary offers some facial oils that u can mix in or put on top of the moisturizer!! it definitely helps your akin retain even more moisture if u need it overnight.
u gon make me spend again!!!!
Morning I use;
Squalane Cleanser
Caffeine Solution 5%
"Buffet"
Hyaluronic Acid
Resvervatrol + Ferulic
Moisturise
Sunscreen
Night;
Squalane Cleanser
Caffeine Solution 5%
"Buffet"
Hyaluronic
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Moisturise
Any feedback or tips or anything that's wrong please let me know!
Double cleansing at night and using a miceller gel cleanser in the morning would be a lot better.
I know it's theoretically possible but I have zero idea why anyone would base their whole routine on the Ordinary. Believe it or not, there are products equal to or better than their's at roughly the same price point.
LeahofWoW At PM moisturise first and the use the oil. It works as an occlusive to seal the hydration in. If you put the moisturiser after the oil it won't penetrate into your skin because of the barrier that the oil has created. 🙂
Skippy what products would you suggest that are price comparable? I’m looking to change it up.
I love the caffeine solution!
I would also try to avoid using an oil after using hyaluronic acid. It's supposed to draw moisture to your skin, but if you're "sealing it in" with an oil it will draw moisture FROM your skin and it could dry you out even more.
Hello ladies😊
I just bought the squalane cleanser to wash off the little coconut oil i use to clean sunscreen and the little make up I use.
Plus a retinol emulsion, buffet, the H.A b5, rose seed oil and the "pink" acid peel... for 50€!!!
Cannot wait to try them and thank you once more, for saving us the hussle of spending ludicrous amounts of money on fancy stuff when less is more.
❤
I really loved your videos so much!!! Thank you for always guiding and giving us the best skin care lesson :)
Hello GORGEOUS, Do you read comments?? If you do please answer at least some of the concerns, please and thank you
Considering how budget oriented The Ordinary is I’m surprised the squalane cleanser is $8 for only 1oz. Especially when you can get an 8oz CeraVe cleanser for $9 or a 13.5oz La Roche Posay cleanser for $15...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AM AND PM ROUTINE I LOVEEE YOU FOR THIS
I’ve watched 2 of your videos and I’m already in love with you !
I really want to love TO but I just can’t, every single product I tried seemed off and not suited for my skin. I’m gonna stick to Paula’s Choice and Korean skincare - those do wonders for my skin.
flor it’s ok not everything works for everyone.but i agree on korean skincare their stuff is amazing!
Nobody cares
@@unpopped looks like you cared enough to reply sis
I love The Ordinary but this specific routine would absolutely MURDER my dry sensitive skin. Definitely for an oily skin type with no sensitivity.
I felt this! Need something for dry and sensitive skin asap
Email them requesting a routine for your specific skin, you can also upload pictures.
there are some great oils and hydrating products from the ordinary! although you may need something stronger than the natural moisturizing factors, i love their hyaluronic acid and i put it on my dry areas before i put on a moisturizer
Just go for niacinamide.
Well I have both dry and sensitive skin, my eczema is so annoying🙄. It left dry scaly patches all over my face but I use the glycolic toner(after eczema healed) and it has been a miracle getting rid of dark patches. so then I purchased the niacinamide,buffet, and hyaluronic acid my moisture levels have improved tremendously!!! I only use toner at night with moisturizer.
I have dry skin but I love the niacinamide serum. I've used up 2 bottles and it improved my skin texture A LOT, as well as my pores! Love it so much
I was looking for a review like this! Did you use the niacinamide in the mornings only? Also, do I use niacinamide before Hyaluronic acid or after?
This couch brought back so many memories lol I used to watch you all the time and just stumbled upon your channel again. Happy to see how much you’ve grown, you’ve always been so intelligent and sweet but even more so now.
Hyram or her
Hyram or her
Omggg I'm going insane
Great content tho❤️
Both
Just ordered everything on here even tho I know nothing about skincare & have never used any skincare products other than face wash oops
How did it go?
Your skin looks amazing! Also love all your videos!
This was so helpful! I just bought a bunch of the ordinary products and I learned a lot. Thank youu so much
