@@Courtney-pe2iw you sound very negative person i just read all your comments you have problems with everyone’s comments and taking everything wrong way.. think positive
Women of colour in science positions, we LOVE to see it! Ms. Abdalla is killin it. She seems so friendly and approachable, while being knowledgeable and well-spoken. Keep it up girl!!
Courtney 👋🏽 I understand your perspective, I think she used it to be inclusive of other women, not just us. Black women (we) are not the only women of color. Yes, she definitely could have said it’s nice to see a Black woman in a Science position, but again I really just think she was trying to include others. Just my take on it.
My favourite Robin and Batman ingredients are: Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and Ascorbic Acid 8%+ Alpha Arbutin 2%. I am about to become 19 and have got oily skin. I've been suffering from pimples & then acne from the age of 14. So what "Niacinamide" did is- it controlled my sebum production and minimized my facial pores to an extent. Since pores got minimized and therefore sebum production reduced I'm getting over acne problems as sebum is the main cause behind acnes. Secondly, the acne marks that I already got over these years are being solved by "Zinc"! Besides the discoloration,age old tan marks,stubborn hyperpigmentaion by acne scars are gone away for the " Alpha Arbutin". And the game finisher "Ascorbic Acid" brightens my skin over all and gives me the healthy glow. Therefore these two serums helped me to solve my skin problems as well as making it healthy and giving me the glow! I've added this serums in my daily skincarr routine, like before going to bed at night,after cleaning and toning I apply these serums,and if even I feel any acnes popping out from underneath my skin is gone before I wake up! Plus look at the price point! Most of them are below 20$ and as a high school student I highly appreciate that. In my area Deciem directly doesn't supply here but Oh My God I love these products sooooo much that I preorder through online pages and wait monthsss to get these even in this pandemic situation. And how to layer them and what exactly my skin needs are being guided by the contents of "Beauty Within". Lots of love for the brand and this youtube channel! My Instagram ID: fatima.sarwar.06.

I was about to buy The Ordinary products and was skimming through YT about the scientific insights about them. I was about to sleep then this video dropped. I guess I'm never gonna sleep. It's 4AM already.
I was a skincare virgin, I had little money a much more breaks outs. I want to look pretty and handsome so I searched for a good skincare routine as well as products that worked. Little that I knew The Ordinary blow my mind away! The affordable price and also the ingredients are amazing. They transformed my epidermis. But I’m still fight against breakouts and an uneven skin texture. This film helps a lot :)
Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid is perfect combination 😍 Niacinamide will also reduce my wrinkles and fine lines, helps to fade acne scars it also repair signs of aging such as enlarged pores, and dark spots. And i really love the hyaluronic acid to keep my skin hydrated whole day. Both are batman and robin of my skin care routine 🥰.. thanks alot and Godbless 🥰 @poisonivyjane3
I love Ordinary products! Very affordable and yet very effective. I wish that in the near future they would branch out to creating skin care products for the body too! Body products that would address problems like scars, stretch marks, and stuff like that.
AMAZING exchange! That woman is so brilliant, beautiful and friendly, and you conducted this interview like a chief! Thank you, and cheers from Montreal Canada!
I actually have been enjoying the alpha Arbutin 2% and 8 % ascorbic acid. It really helped with my acne scars on my forehead. I love using it with my rosehip oil because it just feels right and I know that your not supposed to use water after using Vitcamim C so it doesn't burn or anything. I love Fuelic acid(vitamin E) and vitamin C so amazing! Also vitamin C is literally the best antioxidant I have been using the Q10 from inkey list and I honestly love the smell of sunscreen after I put on vitamin C idk why. @moonkaytiger! Thanks for doing this best of luck to everyone who entered! Love using hyaluronic acid after I get out of the shower though like my skin is damp and I rub that gold in my skin feels amazing
My favorite combination is Niacinamide and Retinol. I have oily, mature skin, with acne and post-acne hyperpigmentation. I find these 2 products help control my acne, hyperpigmentation and my fine lines. I use this combination 5 nights a week and things have greatly improved for me! ❤❤
@@shainaberrios after double cleanse, I use the Ordinary Niac, about 2 drops for my face. Then I put moisturizer on. Once all that sinks in (about 20 minutes) I use my retinol (I use Curology). ❤
@@elmariachi7007 since when I started my “Ordinary journey “ I have been using only Cerave moisturiser, I had always problem what to use as my eyes became puffy....but with Cerave I can moisture and moisture 😍
2:14Nafisah and fel’s smile is so radiant! This review was enjoyable and informative. I love the ordinary products and what they stand for. Also the message here24:45is on point.
My Batman and Robin would be The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution& The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. This has changed my skin for the better. I have always been a make up wearer but have for almost 2 decades but have neglected my skin care game and have always just done the basic cleanser and moisturizer not until the pandemic happened. I was not wearing make up since I have been working from home and this was my chance to step up with my skin care game and the Ordinary have provided me everything I need. I found myself ordering new things every 2 weeks almost. LOL. ps. If you need an Alfred & Batgirl in there as well, it is the Squalene cleanser and the Ordinary The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% in there and also Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, i just don't know which character would perfect for it. haha! Thank you so much for this. It was much needed easy lesson to less is more :)
@@queenf4056 you shouldn't technically use them together as AHAs/BHAs have a much lower PH than Niacinamide. It will raise the PH of the acid and prevent it from working as effectively unless you leave 30 mins or so between application, so definitely wouldn't call them batman and Robin, personally
I need her to be here in youtube and give the beauty science class.. her language is understandable for commoners. Her personality on camera is super great.. it's so comfortable.
My “Batman & Robin” combo would have to be: - Dermalogica: Active moist It’s key ingredients contain * Silk Amino Acids: help smooth and improve skin texture. * Citrus medica, Ivy, watercress and burdock: natural astringents that help refine skin. * lavender, Mallow and Cucumber: soothing extracts that help provide deep hydration. Pairing it with...... Dermalogica: Overnight Clearing Gel . Which is an invisible nighttime gel that helps clear breakouts and reduce visible skin aging. Key ingredients include: * Salicylic Acid: sloughs off pore-clogging skin cells to inhibit development of further breakouts. * tea tree leaf oil: soothes skin while your sleep. * Niacinamide, Biotin, Zinc Gluconate and Caffeine: known for purifying and soothing properties. After completing my night routine I would apply active moist as my moisturizer because it is made for all skin types and provides the hydration needed for your skin to stay supple and hydrated. And originally I would end my routine there but because I have acne that wont go away I’ve paired it with my moisturizer and every night since using it my acne has reduce. @beauty_by_melli0
I loved this video!! It really made sense the way Nafisah broke it down for us, I want to keep hearing from her. One QTN - If I buy Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% as one of its properties targets anti aging, is a retinol still necessary ?
Can I use The Ordinary Niacinamide and Azelaic acid suspension together? And how about using the Niacinamide with Glycolic acid toner? Furthermore I want to know how can I mix The Ordinary L-Ascorbic acid powder with Natural moisturizing factor to have a formula in same strength of Vitamin C 23% ? How many scoops should I use for that concentration? Please help me for resolving my problems. Thank you
Can you do a series focusing on the benefits of different natural ingredients? Going in depth about ingredients like green tea, centella asiatica, rice, fruit/herb extracts, marine ingredients, etc. and different ways they are formulated into products would be really helpful in determining what else aside from active ingredients dictate the performance of different products! :)
I just start using the ordinary for 2 days and it works so much! Oh my God! I love it! I never had this experience, u can see the difference instantly!
hi girls. i love how you talk about these ingredients, but could you also create informative videos for snail mucin, centella asiatica and other ingredients that are now being known because of kbeauty. like this comment guys so they could see please.
My current PM routine is like this: I begin with Niacinamide + Zinc, then enhance the routine with Azelaic Acid, and finally lock in all the precious ingredients with Squalane. I have clearly seen significant improvements with my acne, blemishes and post-acne hyperpigmentation since I incorporated Niacinamide. It is such a hero ingredient and is no doubt one of my best mates!
What's your skin type? I have oily skin and have been wanting to try out squalane because its suopposed to work for oily skin, but I'm super worried about it breaking me out. I can only use really lightweight hydrating products and most moisturizers make me break out :(
@@danaskunca2679 I have combo skin with a quite oily T-zone. Trust me I was rather skeptical about Squalane at first. However, I've been quite satisfied with how well it's worked as a hydrator on my skin. Since my skin feels a tad bit dry after Niacinamide and especially Azelaic Acid, Squalane provides the hydration my skin needs to recover overnight. As I am treating papules, I feel like my routine just needs to be minimalized as much as possible and thus those heavier, creamier moisturizers might irritate those pimples further. Hence Squalane is perfect during this time for me considering how well it absorbs onto my skin and it is amazingly lightweight! I did some research and found out that Squalane is also antibacterial, which is great for my acne-prone skin. I don't really know if Squalane works as well on oily skin, but I would suggest using small amounts if you decide to give it a try :)
My Batman and Robin products right now is Hyaluronic Acid with The Buffet (peptides). My skin is so dehydrated, but combination, with rosacea, texture, acne, dark spots, huuuugeeee pores, blackheads, I basically look like your worst nightmare. Redness everywhere because of the rosacea, acne because of the combo, pores because of the sebum, dark spots because of scars, its a mess. So I JUST STARTED THIS YEAR with my skincare, and so far these have helped my skin sooo much. There is sooooo much I don't know about skincare, I mean my questions are endless, and it doesn't help that I don't have one specific problem, but a whole bunch, so while I can target one, I can disrupt the other, and if I treat my acne, my rosacea will act up SO BAD. I'm just so glad I found you girls. You know so much! Its so hard to understand but I'm getting there. So far I know there's Vit A, Vit B, Vit C, Vit E, Vit F, ceramides, peptides, antioxidants, acids, humectants, its endless. But thank you for making this video. SUPER INFORMATIVE. LOVE YOU GIRLS!
The ordinary niacinamide change my skincare game forever as well as tretinoin. Everytime I stop using it my skin just looks a lot uglier, oilyness comeback, pores are larger. Also 30% of the brand sales is from the Niacinamide itself. ❤️
@@isabellevasquez7433 the niacinamide serum is sooooo worth it. I thinks it's the addition of the zinc, just as much as it is the higher concentration, that makes it so effective. With very consistent use it balances my oil production super effectively.
Love this video. My only complaint is the question about the vitamin C powder was not really addressed. It is important to use the same percentage on your skin every time, and you need the correct ph for the Vit C to work. There is no way to control these factors if you just put some powder into a serum or cream. I love the Vit C powder, BUT, The Ordinary does not do a good job if addressing proper usage. Dermatologists, chemists and formulators on TH-cam have been very open about why this powder is problematic. Would love to see TO do a better job here.
It was rumored that they were about to shut down and just getting rid of the last batches. I dont think thats the case anymore You can order almost everything directly from the daciem website
I have encountered both stickiness and piling. For stickiness, top it up with light weight moisturizer or oil. For pilling, it occurs with niacinamide and for that I pat on the moisturizer rather than rub it against the skin. I have ordinary products for texture, hyperpigmentation and brightness.
I absolutely LoVED this! I love the Ordinary products. I just got my esthetician license and product knowledge is so important to me! I love this channel!
I wish someone would make a really good skincare routine with very few steps that ticks all of the boxes. Vitamin C, retinol, exfoliants, moisture, sunscreen in say 4 or 5 products. I hate having 10 products at a time.
DermaGeek has niacinamide and sunscreen in their moisturizer and it’s so good actually (and not TOO expensive), The Ordinary Vitamin C serum, retinol and the AHA BHA red stuff. Mostly this reply was to let you know about the moisturizer lol
@@alyviak.3894 good point though. A lot of products are formulated with more than one active sometimes. Probably a good way to reduce the amount of products you have.
Hi.hope all is doing well.Thanks for this video I was enlighten on how to use the product of the ordinary.I love them! not just me that using the product( niacinamide ) but also I try it to my 13yr old and It works well..after trying a lot of anti-acne products for her...really effective for her, I already saw the result in just 3 days i mean the improvement on her super oily face. Thanks for the knowledge.
Oh! My fave combo is a mix of niacinamide and an asian ingredient called licorice root extract! This brightened my skin and help with some acne marks. As someone who have struggled with acne on my late teens, we should never acne-shame anyone. Instead give them tips and help them to cope with their self-esteem! Spread the love for all skin types, skin color and even skin aging! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ IG : @veautifulvee
You definitely can do that, although newly shaved skin can be sensitive so I would be careful about applying any acids at that point. For acne, BHA/salicylic acid can often be move effective (as it is oil soluble) but every person is different.
Mine would be vitamin C and Niacinaimide I think they are like cousins to each other 😂. Thank you so much for educating us on the usage of the ordinary products because I just started using it and knowing much about the product has now has given me hope for youthful skin🙏
Omg. I’ve been following some of the regimes that I see you girls talk about & share on here (I’m 38 y/o and have always suffered w bad skin...cystic acne, large pores, scars,sun spots,..the works!) & within a wk? I’ve noticed such a great difference! I Love this line of products ((and I absolutely LOVE this channel❤️)) 🙏🏻 thank you 😊
“What’s the point of Robin when you already have Batman”? Anyone who asked that question clearly know nothing about them 😆 Robin has saved Batman multiple times and he also provides emotional support for Batman too. So, when you think of it, yeah, it’s a perfect analogy. Haha
The product that has changed my skin is the AHA + BHA peeling. I've only used it twice but my acne scars are less, my breakouts are less and my skin is so much softer!
I've been using the ordinary Retinol 0.5 % in Squalene and Glycolic Toning Solution for a month now and I'm impressed. It doesnt do that much yet especially the Retinol since its just been a month and im only using it alternatively every other night with the glycolic toner BUT im so happy that my skin's getting better. I did not experience irritation or purging. Now i think i can introduce another product to my skin so i purchased the Azelaic Acid Suspension and the Alpha Arbutin. 😊😊 I've been dying to get my hands on these products but i have to be gentle in introducing new products to my skin. I cant do them all at once 😅
Hi :) question for you: Is it still OK to use: hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide, ascorbic acid 8%+alpha arbutin 2% All together in the Am? Because I am interested to have the effects of each one during the day (hidration, oil control, brightening) I do not have sensitive skin. My skin is Normal/combo type, and I use spf 50 :) thank you ❤️
I’m using retin a at night with just some moisturizer and in the morning I’m using , wash homemade toner and sunscreen . I want to add some Serums with antioxidants and i also heard you are supposed to use a moisturizer under your toner
Thank you for this very informative video. My dermatologist recommended your products to me, and I’m 62 and love your products. Thank you Beauty Within great job on this information. 💗💗💗
I use Hylaronic Acid and Nincinamide everynight before bed 🌟 They are Amazzing! My skin has never been better 💕 ✨ 💕 I've noticed I've been getting a few broken capillaries on my skin tiny blood spots what would help with these?? Xox Any recommendations would be Amazzing 🙏🙌🙏🙌
How do you think about Brickell Men ? I switched from Biotherm Homme to Brickell Men Products, mostly because I did not want to put chemicals/bad ingredients on my face. Good choice for men or not? I would also like to inlcude the ordinary niacinamide as a serum before a daily moisturizer and every secodn day a cream with vitamin c. At evening always a repairing serum from brickell and cream with hyaluron MSM, DMAE etc...
Very informative video. I am a big fan of niacinamide 10 with zinc as I have big pores n of course some pigmentations. I was confused about layering all actives but this video helps a lot. I like to know about pigmentations on lips. Thanks for all good information.
My Batman and Robin is Niacinamide and Retinol. I’m 73 and recently a doctor said, no way ! He thought I was in my fifties. I discovered The Ordinary a year ago and use every day and night. I probably have used 3/4 of products and I’m a total convert to this line. When asked what I do for my skin, I always tell them The Ordinary !
I love the glycolic acid, Niacinamide and zinc, hyaluronic acid, and argireline. I also love buffet with copper peptides. These have made such a difference in my skin. The fine lines around my eyes and smile lines are visibly diminished. I recommend this products to friends all the time. @gabriela_burch
There's something weird about ordinary;- like it's so darn affordable that you can't remain without grabbing atleast 5 of their products and their formulations are super effective but they aren't cosmetically formulated well. Ingredient list is so minimal and clean but at the same time are not at all balanced. An infamous comparison is ordinary niacinamide and paulas choice niacinamide.
having a more minimal formulation could possibly mean it has less chance of irritation and its more available for more people who try to avoid certain ingredients
Cherry Bo That’s not necessarily true. Sometimes additional/supporting smoothing ingredients help to reduce the possible irritations that come with using Niacinamide, vitamin c, retinyls, chemical exfoliants, etc.
I would say that the formulations are very efficient and having used them for over 2 years i can confidently share that they only benefit the skin in the long run. That kinda points to a balanced formulation. Paula's choice is about the best products one can use. And one needs to exercise NO caution in using these products. These are fairly expensive products. TO is able to pass on the cost benefit because they don't formulate with a lot of ingredient mixed in. This particular activity is a fairly expensive activity in product development. But one definitely needs to be cautious in using the TO products : qty as well as with other products within the TO suite as well Both great quality products with very different price points and usage experience.
Hi love! I was wondering what are your thoughts on derma rolling at home. I’ve got some acne scarring (including not very deep ice pick scars) and hyperpigmentation and I’ve tried so many skincare products but none seem to work for me. Hence, this is why I thought derma rolling might help. Do you have any suggestion in good derma rollers in the market, particularly something that I can buy online like on Amazon or at my local Sephora stores? Thank you in advance 😘
OH MY GOSH. This video is a God Send!!! Thank you so much for all this helpful information I really needed some much needed advice on what to look for in Ingredients of skincare particularly as I sensitive/combo skin this is perfect! 😍
I love their serums so much!! Im currently using the ordinary salicylic acid facial wash plus the ordinary Niacinamide plus zinc for a month, it helps me to improve my skin and it lessens my oiliness and lightens my acne marks. 2 thumbs up for the ordinary products!!👍🏻👍🏻 @angelinemlpua
for someone who wants to incorporate vit C in their skincare routine, shouldn’t they start with at least vit C derivatives (like ascorbyl glucoside) instead of going straight to vit C products (like ascorbic acid)?
I started with the ascorbyl glucoside, and it's been quite effective in conjunction the alpha arbutin. However, I think that as with most actives, it's more about the strength you start off with.
Leah Sanders yeap true, the strength/concentration of the serum is important especially for beginners. if I may ask, what’s the next TO vit c product you’d recommend after I have finished ascorbyl glucoside? presuming my skin can tolerate higher concentration. thanksss
Love the video. Could you go a video for anti-aging skin for those above 40? The AM & PM routine. Can I used retinol after Vic C suspension 23 ? Could you do a video what is a good AM / PM routine ? What product can be use together and which one are not allow to combine together?
@@reshondaparker8286 i use the vitamin c and the retinol at night and the niacinamide in the morning...but I normally layer my products thinnest to thickest in consistency of the serums...hope that helps
My skin hated the niacinamide serum. It shouldn't cause purging and yet my skin broke out like crazy, even in places I don't usually break out at. Maybe it was the zinc; I'm not sure. 😞 I'm allergic to fruit extracts and citrus anything. I also used the serum with nothing but my cleanser so.
I'm using The Ordinary products for almost a month now and already recognized a great huge changes on my skin especially on my acne marks and hyperpigmentation with the help of my Batman and Robin which are The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% in the morning and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% at night. 😍 Super loving those products!!! And also Beauty Within helps me a lot in familiarizing different skincare products that suits me well 🙏 IG: @kentopel

I love Ordinary products! Very affordable and yet very effective. I wish that in the near future they would branch out to creating skin care products for the body too! Body products that would address problems like scars, stretch marks, and stuff like that.
AMAZING exchange! That woman is so brilliant, beautiful and friendly, and you conducted this interview like a chief! Thank you, and cheers from Montreal Canada!
Nafisa, was amazing at explaining the benefits of each ingredient. In addition, her skin is gorgeous!
I actually have been enjoying the alpha Arbutin 2% and 8 % ascorbic acid. It really helped with my acne scars on my forehead. I love using it with my rosehip oil because it just feels right and I know that your not supposed to use water after using Vitcamim C so it doesn't burn or anything. I love Fuelic acid(vitamin E) and vitamin C so amazing! Also vitamin C is literally the best antioxidant I have been using the Q10 from inkey list and I honestly love the smell of sunscreen after I put on vitamin C idk why. @moonkaytiger! Thanks for doing this best of luck to everyone who entered! Love using hyaluronic acid after I get out of the shower though like my skin is damp and I rub that gold in my skin feels amazing
How did u use them? Alternate or in one row?
I love that we are all in this together. Skin care journey. ❤️ Let's all be kind.
Yes 😊🥰☺️
Nafisa is so beautiful inside and out!! How she talks and expresses her thoughts is just outstanding, hands down.
My favorite combination is Niacinamide and Retinol. I have oily, mature skin, with acne and post-acne hyperpigmentation. I find these 2 products help control my acne, hyperpigmentation and my fine lines. I use this combination 5 nights a week and things have greatly improved for me! ❤❤
How do you use it?
@@shainaberrios after double cleanse, I use the Ordinary Niac, about 2 drops for my face. Then I put moisturizer on. Once all that sinks in (about 20 minutes) I use my retinol (I use Curology). ❤
@@stacylbrewer thank you!
Which moisturiser should I use after using ordinary niacinamide?
@@elmariachi7007 since when I started my “Ordinary journey “ I have been using only Cerave moisturiser, I had always problem what to use as my eyes became puffy....but with Cerave I can moisture and moisture 😍
2:14Nafisah and fel’s smile is so radiant! This review was enjoyable and informative. I love the ordinary products and what they stand for. Also the message here24:45is on point.
My Batman and Robin would be The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution& The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. This has changed my skin for the better. I have always been a make up wearer but have for almost 2 decades but have neglected my skin care game and have always just done the basic cleanser and moisturizer not until the pandemic happened. I was not wearing make up since I have been working from home and this was my chance to step up with my skin care game and the Ordinary have provided me everything I need. I found myself ordering new things every 2 weeks almost. LOL.
ps. If you need an Alfred & Batgirl in there as well, it is the Squalene cleanser and the Ordinary The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% in there and also Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, i just don't know which character would perfect for it. haha!
Thank you so much for this. It was much needed easy lesson to less is more :)
@mschacha05 on instagram
Do use glycolic and niacinamide together?
@@queenf4056 you shouldn't technically use them together as AHAs/BHAs have a much lower PH than Niacinamide. It will raise the PH of the acid and prevent it from working as effectively unless you leave 30 mins or so between application, so definitely wouldn't call them batman and Robin, personally
I need her to be here in youtube and give the beauty science class.. her language is understandable for commoners. Her personality on camera is super great.. it's so comfortable.
OMG!!! There’s not a video I’ve been DYING to watch more than this one! I NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWERS!! 😆
Did you find the video ???
Dannie. team natural Rowe ??? I watched this one
My “Batman & Robin” combo would have to be:
- Dermalogica: Active moist
It’s key ingredients contain
* Silk Amino Acids: help smooth and improve skin texture.
* Citrus medica, Ivy, watercress and burdock: natural astringents that help refine skin.
* lavender, Mallow and Cucumber: soothing extracts that help provide deep hydration.
Pairing it with......
Dermalogica: Overnight Clearing Gel . Which is an invisible nighttime gel that helps clear breakouts and reduce visible skin aging.
Key ingredients include:
* Salicylic Acid: sloughs off pore-clogging skin cells to inhibit development of further breakouts.
* tea tree leaf oil: soothes skin while your sleep.
* Niacinamide, Biotin, Zinc Gluconate and Caffeine: known for purifying and soothing properties.
After completing my night routine I would apply active moist as my moisturizer because it is made for all skin types and provides the hydration needed for your skin to stay supple and hydrated. And originally I would end my routine there but because I have acne that wont go away I’ve paired it with my moisturizer and every night since using it my acne has reduce.

Her skin is GLOWING !!! and flawless !
The one who is explaining -beautiful 😇
Nafisa’s skin is absolutely gorgeous and glowing!! ❤️
I love Nafisa, she always try to explain it in a very simple way and she's so beautiful
I loved this video!! It really made sense the way Nafisah broke it down for us, I want to keep hearing from her. One QTN - If I buy Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% as one of its properties targets anti aging, is a retinol still necessary ?
I love how happy and proud she sounds talking about their products and explaining everything in detail
We want an episode about collagen and everything that has th do with it.
Maybe Peptides, and 24K gold too
Can I use The Ordinary Niacinamide and Azelaic acid suspension together? And how about using the Niacinamide with Glycolic acid toner? Furthermore I want to know how can I mix The Ordinary L-Ascorbic acid powder with Natural moisturizing factor to have a formula in same strength of Vitamin C 23% ? How many scoops should I use for that concentration? Please help me for resolving my problems. Thank you
Nefisa (sp?)= skin goals ❤️

Can you do a series focusing on the benefits of different natural ingredients? Going in depth about ingredients like green tea, centella asiatica, rice, fruit/herb extracts, marine ingredients, etc. and different ways they are formulated into products would be really helpful in determining what else aside from active ingredients dictate the performance of different products! :)
I just start using the ordinary for 2 days and it works so much! Oh my God! I love it! I never had this experience, u can see the difference instantly!
hi girls. i love how you talk about these ingredients, but could you also create informative videos for snail mucin, centella asiatica and other ingredients that are now being known because of kbeauty. like this comment guys so they could see please.
Nephisa, what a sweetheart you are! So caring & intelligent! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
My current PM routine is like this: I begin with Niacinamide + Zinc, then enhance the routine with Azelaic Acid, and finally lock in all the precious ingredients with Squalane. I have clearly seen significant improvements with my acne, blemishes and post-acne hyperpigmentation since I incorporated Niacinamide. It is such a hero ingredient and is no doubt one of my best mates!
What's your skin type? I have oily skin and have been wanting to try out squalane because its suopposed to work for oily skin, but I'm super worried about it breaking me out. I can only use really lightweight hydrating products and most moisturizers make me break out :(
@@danaskunca2679 I have combo skin with a quite oily T-zone. Trust me I was rather skeptical about Squalane at first. However, I've been quite satisfied with how well it's worked as a hydrator on my skin. Since my skin feels a tad bit dry after Niacinamide and especially Azelaic Acid, Squalane provides the hydration my skin needs to recover overnight. As I am treating papules, I feel like my routine just needs to be minimalized as much as possible and thus those heavier, creamier moisturizers might irritate those pimples further. Hence Squalane is perfect during this time for me considering how well it absorbs onto my skin and it is amazingly lightweight! I did some research and found out that Squalane is also antibacterial, which is great for my acne-prone skin. I don't really know if Squalane works as well on oily skin, but I would suggest using small amounts if you decide to give it a try :)
@@mahbtiu thank u so much!
My Batman and Robin products right now is Hyaluronic Acid with The Buffet (peptides). My skin is so dehydrated, but combination, with rosacea, texture, acne, dark spots, huuuugeeee pores, blackheads, I basically look like your worst nightmare. Redness everywhere because of the rosacea, acne because of the combo, pores because of the sebum, dark spots because of scars, its a mess. So I JUST STARTED THIS YEAR with my skincare, and so far these have helped my skin sooo much.
There is sooooo much I don't know about skincare, I mean my questions are endless, and it doesn't help that I don't have one specific problem, but a whole bunch, so while I can target one, I can disrupt the other, and if I treat my acne, my rosacea will act up SO BAD. I'm just so glad I found you girls. You know so much! Its so hard to understand but I'm getting there. So far I know there's Vit A, Vit B, Vit C, Vit E, Vit F, ceramides, peptides, antioxidants, acids, humectants, its endless. But thank you for making this video. SUPER INFORMATIVE. LOVE YOU GIRLS!
The ordinary niacinamide change my skincare game forever as well as tretinoin. Everytime I stop using it my skin just looks a lot uglier, oilyness comeback, pores are larger. Also 30% of the brand sales is from the Niacinamide itself. ❤️
Oho? I may have to look into that. I have the bliss toner serum with salicylic and niacinamide but I feel like I need a little bit more
@@isabellevasquez7433 the niacinamide serum is sooooo worth it. I thinks it's the addition of the zinc, just as much as it is the higher concentration, that makes it so effective. With very consistent use it balances my oil production super effectively.
The niacinamide serum DESTROYED my skin barrier and caused me a severe burning sensation. It took me months to repair.
@@Roll587 was it ur first niacinamide experience? 10% is honestly a lot for a start.
Where did you buy tretinoin from?
Love this video. My only complaint is the question about the vitamin C powder was not really addressed. It is important to use the same percentage on your skin every time, and you need the correct ph for the Vit C to work. There is no way to control these factors if you just put some powder into a serum or cream. I love the Vit C powder, BUT, The Ordinary does not do a good job if addressing proper usage. Dermatologists, chemists and formulators on TH-cam have been very open about why this powder is problematic. Would love to see TO do a better job here.
Gurlll when are they going to restock their products??? That's the only question we want to know 😫
Been waiting months to reorder the vitamin C powder and the resversatrol!
Exactly
@@suechang7443 And The Buffet + Peptides!!!
It was rumored that they were about to shut down and just getting rid of the last batches.
I dont think thats the case anymore
You can order almost everything directly from the daciem website
I ordered directly from deceim website. I already received my parcel.
I have encountered both stickiness and piling. For stickiness, top it up with light weight moisturizer or oil. For pilling, it occurs with niacinamide and for that I pat on the moisturizer rather than rub it against the skin. I have ordinary products for texture, hyperpigmentation and brightness.
me: *excited for the giveaway*
me: *reads "open for US only"*
also me: 😭😭😭😭😭
thedailydanny that was me when I went to the website to order the “fave products” and EVERYTHING was sold out like an hour after the video dropped! 😒
I think the reason is because some countries don’t allow some products into their country due to their regulations.
Same here 😞🥺
What a wonderful guest. She is eloquent and absolutely wonderful. Great episode!!
I love the way she explains the product!
I absolutely LoVED this! I love the Ordinary products. I just got my esthetician license and product knowledge is so important to me! I love this channel!
I wish someone would make a really good skincare routine with very few steps that ticks all of the boxes. Vitamin C, retinol, exfoliants, moisture, sunscreen in say 4 or 5 products. I hate having 10 products at a time.
Same
DermaGeek has niacinamide and sunscreen in their moisturizer and it’s so good actually (and not TOO expensive), The Ordinary Vitamin C serum, retinol and the AHA BHA red stuff. Mostly this reply was to let you know about the moisturizer lol
@@alyviak.3894 good point though. A lot of products are formulated with more than one active sometimes. Probably a good way to reduce the amount of products you have.
I can't get over how beautiful Nafisah is. She has a perfect facial features and flawless skin
Please do a video all about essences
and each one for each skin type! Love your vids
OmG! I really like Nafisa! She is so beautiful and somehow i have the feel of how genuine she is! Absolutely love this lady! Thank you for sharing!
Just purchased my first three The Ordinary products and this was sooo helpful! Thank you!
I enjoyed nafisah with her knowledge, her skin, and her style!!
Her skin is so beautiful.! She represents the brand very well 😍
Hi.hope all is doing well.Thanks for this video I was enlighten on how to use the product of the ordinary.I love them! not just me that using the product( niacinamide ) but also I try it to my 13yr old and It works well..after trying a lot of anti-acne products for her...really effective for her, I already saw the result in just 3 days i mean the improvement on her super oily face. Thanks for the knowledge.
Oh! My fave combo is a mix of niacinamide and an asian ingredient called licorice root extract! This brightened my skin and help with some acne marks. As someone who have struggled with acne on my late teens, we should never acne-shame anyone. Instead give them tips and help them to cope with their self-esteem! Spread the love for all skin types, skin color and even skin aging! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ IG : @veautifulvee
Hello...pls explain how to use licorice root and whr to purchase it
Thank you kindly
Oil balm , cleanser , retnol , hypotonic acid , moisturizer @Angelikagiselle
All my dreams will come through this week! Amen!
where can I also send questions? : is it ok to apply glycolic acid toner on other parts of body (legs, back, shaved zones)where breakouts are?
You definitely can do that, although newly shaved skin can be sensitive so I would be careful about applying any acids at that point. For acne, BHA/salicylic acid can often be move effective (as it is oil soluble) but every person is different.
Mine would be vitamin C and Niacinaimide I think they are like cousins to each other 😂. Thank you so much for educating us on the usage of the ordinary products because I just started using it and knowing much about the product has now has given me hope for youthful skin🙏
I know I might not win and even if I did it would be hard to get my prize since I live in Africa, Ghana but here goes IG:@xoxoemmz_
Omg. I’ve been following some of the regimes that I see you girls talk about & share on here (I’m 38 y/o and have always suffered w bad skin...cystic acne, large pores, scars,sun spots,..the works!) & within a wk? I’ve noticed such a great difference! I Love this line of products ((and I absolutely LOVE this channel❤️)) 🙏🏻 thank you 😊
“What’s the point of Robin when you already have Batman”? Anyone who asked that question clearly know nothing about them 😆 Robin has saved Batman multiple times and he also provides emotional support for Batman too. So, when you think of it, yeah, it’s a perfect analogy. Haha
They’re his adopted and biological sons so they’re his family too.
The product that has changed my skin is the AHA + BHA peeling. I've only used it twice but my acne scars are less, my breakouts are less and my skin is so much softer!
This is sooooo helpful!!! ❤️ thank you guys for doing this video
Bring Nafisa back 😩😩😩😩! I love the conversation, the scientific breakdown of each product and recommendations.
This is amazing!!! Answered so many questions I have.
I've been using the ordinary Retinol 0.5 % in Squalene and Glycolic Toning Solution for a month now and I'm impressed. It doesnt do that much yet especially the Retinol since its just been a month and im only using it alternatively every other night with the glycolic toner BUT im so happy that my skin's getting better. I did not experience irritation or purging.
Now i think i can introduce another product to my skin so i purchased the Azelaic Acid Suspension and the Alpha Arbutin. 😊😊 I've been dying to get my hands on these products but i have to be gentle in introducing new products to my skin. I cant do them all at once 😅
If I have serum left after applying on face, I put on backs of my hands.
Hi :) question for you:
Is it still OK to use:
hyaluronic acid,
Niacinamide,
ascorbic acid 8%+alpha arbutin 2%
All together in the Am? Because I am interested to have the effects of each one during the day (hidration, oil control, brightening)
I do not have sensitive skin. My skin is Normal/combo type, and I use spf 50 :) thank you ❤️
Can Nafisa always be on the show?! We love her!
I’m using retin a at night with just some moisturizer and in the morning I’m using , wash homemade toner and sunscreen . I want to add some
Serums with antioxidants and i also heard you are supposed to use a moisturizer under your toner
That was so wholesome and informative! I feel all warm and fuzzy. It had everything! Lol 💖🙏🏼
Thank you for this very informative video. My dermatologist recommended your products to me, and I’m 62 and love your products. Thank you Beauty Within great job on this information. 💗💗💗
I JUST BOUGHT THE NIAICINIMIDE AND RETINOL YESTERDAY!! ARE YALL READING MY MIND???
So helpful❣️ She has perfect glowing skin 🌞Thanks for bringing her out .I love skincare from The Ordinary.
We need "The ordinary" to launch in India 😭😭💔
Megha Acharya yesss 🥺😭😭😭
Yessssss 😰
yess..i order niaciamide from princessbox since deciem was unavailable hope the product comes authentic
Same here. I order them from cult beauty.
Yesss.. I got AHA BHAI solution from cult beauty. It costs 1200.. Which is almost double
I use Hylaronic Acid and Nincinamide everynight before bed 🌟
They are Amazzing! My skin has never been better 💕 ✨ 💕
I've noticed I've been getting a few broken capillaries on my skin tiny blood spots what would help with these?? Xox
Any recommendations would be Amazzing 🙏🙌🙏🙌
I wish they’d have a physical store here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 DECIEM please hear us :)
How do you think about Brickell Men ? I switched from Biotherm Homme to Brickell Men Products, mostly because I did not want to put chemicals/bad ingredients on my face. Good choice for men or not?
I would also like to inlcude the ordinary niacinamide as a serum before a daily moisturizer and every secodn day a cream with vitamin c. At evening always a repairing serum from brickell and cream with hyaluron MSM, DMAE etc...
I fell in love with the ordinary because of the Niacimide 10% + Zinc 2%! A cliche batman and robin duo but forever a solid. @leondragraves
Very informative video.
I am a big fan of niacinamide 10 with zinc as I have big pores n of course some pigmentations.
I was confused about layering all actives but this video helps a lot.
I like to know about pigmentations on lips.
Thanks for all good information.
Omg her skin is glowwwwiingggg....😅
My Batman and Robin is Niacinamide and Retinol. I’m 73 and recently a doctor said, no way ! He thought I was in my fifties. I discovered The Ordinary a year ago and use every day and night. I probably have used 3/4 of products and I’m a total convert to this line. When asked what I do for my skin, I always tell them The Ordinary !
I love the glycolic acid, Niacinamide and zinc, hyaluronic acid, and argireline. I also love buffet with copper peptides.
These have made such a difference in my skin. The fine lines around my eyes and smile lines are visibly diminished. I recommend this products to friends all the time. @gabriela_burch
Nafisa was fantastic, great information, exceptional poise and a really thoughtful final word.
There's something weird about ordinary;- like it's so darn affordable that you can't remain without grabbing atleast 5 of their products and their formulations are super effective but they aren't cosmetically formulated well. Ingredient list is so minimal and clean but at the same time are not at all balanced. An infamous comparison is ordinary niacinamide and paulas choice niacinamide.
having a more minimal formulation could possibly mean it has less chance of irritation and its more available for more people who try to avoid certain ingredients
Bruh. Less ingredients means less irritations
Cherry Bo That’s not necessarily true. Sometimes additional/supporting smoothing ingredients help to reduce the possible irritations that come with using Niacinamide, vitamin c, retinyls, chemical exfoliants, etc.
Destiny J I think they probably meant less potential for irritation. Then that’s right. Less ingredients less potential to get irritated
I would say that the formulations are very efficient and having used them for over 2 years i can confidently share that they only benefit the skin in the long run. That kinda points to a balanced formulation.
Paula's choice is about the best products one can use. And one needs to exercise NO caution in using these products. These are fairly expensive products.
TO is able to pass on the cost benefit because they don't formulate with a lot of ingredient mixed in. This particular activity is a fairly expensive activity in product development. But one definitely needs to be cautious in using the TO products : qty as well as with other products within the TO suite as well
Both great quality products with very different price points and usage experience.
Hi love! I was wondering what are your thoughts on derma rolling at home. I’ve got some acne scarring (including not very deep ice pick scars) and hyperpigmentation and I’ve tried so many skincare products but none seem to work for me. Hence, this is why I thought derma rolling might help. Do you have any suggestion in good derma rollers in the market, particularly something that I can buy online like on Amazon or at my local Sephora stores?
Thank you in advance 😘
Deciem has the Hylamide brand and I am very curious to know anyone’s thought on it?
OH MY GOSH. This video is a God Send!!! Thank you so much for all this helpful information I really needed some much needed advice on what to look for in Ingredients of skincare particularly as I sensitive/combo skin this is perfect! 😍
I love their serums so much!!
Im currently using the ordinary salicylic acid facial wash plus the ordinary Niacinamide plus zinc for a month, it helps me to improve my skin and it lessens my oiliness and lightens my acne marks. 2 thumbs up for the ordinary products!!👍🏻👍🏻 @angelinemlpua
How gorgeous is Nafisa 💖 Beautiful glowing skin
for someone who wants to incorporate vit C in their skincare routine, shouldn’t they start with at least vit C derivatives (like ascorbyl glucoside) instead of going straight to vit C products (like ascorbic acid)?
I started with the ascorbyl glucoside, and it's been quite effective in conjunction the alpha arbutin. However, I think that as with most actives, it's more about the strength you start off with.
Leah Sanders yeap true, the strength/concentration of the serum is important especially for beginners. if I may ask, what’s the next TO vit c product you’d recommend after I have finished ascorbyl glucoside? presuming my skin can tolerate higher concentration. thanksss
Love the video. Could you go a video for anti-aging skin for those above 40? The AM & PM routine. Can I used retinol after Vic C suspension 23 ? Could you do a video what is a good AM / PM routine ? What product can be use together and which one are not allow to combine together?
I use niacinamide, vitamin c and retinol in my daily skincare routine and I love them❤
In what order do you use them because I have those too?
@@reshondaparker8286 i use the vitamin c and the retinol at night and the niacinamide in the morning...but I normally layer my products thinnest to thickest in consistency of the serums...hope that helps
My skin hated the niacinamide serum. It shouldn't cause purging and yet my skin broke out like crazy, even in places I don't usually break out at. Maybe it was the zinc; I'm not sure. 😞 I'm allergic to fruit extracts and citrus anything. I also used the serum with nothing but my cleanser so.
I'm using The Ordinary products for almost a month now and already recognized a great huge changes on my skin especially on my acne marks and hyperpigmentation with the help of my Batman and Robin which are The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% in the morning and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% at night. 😍 Super loving those products!!! And also Beauty Within helps me a lot in familiarizing different skincare products that suits me well 🙏 IG: @kentopel
Do you wash 10min the niacinamide or live it for anytime does it matter ?
@@777lul7 hi! I leave it on my skin. I didn't wash it off.
