Currently I do have -Glycolic acid 7% Toning sol (use only evening) 4product for Both AM and PM -Niaciamide 10%+zinc1% -hyaluronic acid 2%+ B5 -Marine hyaluronic -The Ordinary Buffet Is it ok to use 4 products in my daily routine or exclude some specific one? If I have not to mix certain products then when should I use it??
Can we use neutrogena visible clear spot treatment moisturizer which is Salisylic acid based after applying lactic acid 10% serum of the ordinary line ?
The Ordinary offers so much info on their website about the products you're buying and how to use them and combine them and what not to use them with. It amazes me that people blindly buy products without doing any research.
Yes Thank you for reassuring me that I was not the only (ab)normal ,sorry couldn't resist, person left on the planet who actually reads about& makes informed decisions based on documented evidence not just what a woman told them "I think it's called. ...something oxide &Ya Use it with the other one u know the red one yeah that's great then u can also just mix your own" . It's all there ready &waiting to tell you exactly what u want to know just look it up. 😩so annoying🙈
@@sabakaleem6651 Go to The Ordinary website (theordinary dot com) and then go to Regimen Guide. I tried to include a link, but I don't think TH-cam would let me.
Seriously, been doing this for weeks. Noted. I do sometimes mix the vitamin C (not in silicone) with Hyaluronic acid because it makes the vitamin c less gritty. Is this ok??
TheMrsBeagle Yes it is okay, generally, vitamin c has a ph level of 3 so it makes your skin a little bit dry while the hyaluronic acid gives and retains the moisture on your skin making your skin still supple while using vitamin c. Hope this helps :)
AOOGA I used to use the dermadoctor kakadu C wash but I didn’t see any difference to my skin:/ I stopped using it and just used drugstore face wash since the dermadoctor was was quite expensive in my opinion. I noticed more of a difference with a drugstore wash which is impressive to me that you’re using that!
Holy crap it’s been years since I’ve seen her videos! I remember when she was really struggling to clear her skin and it looks FLAWLESS now. Wow, so happy for you!
Please do one of what products work well together. I recently bought ordinary products, and it’s my first batch of actual skincare products. I’d love to know if the products I’m using actually work well together or not.
I wouldn’t contact Deciem customer service. They have an area of their website where you can tell them everything you own from the brand and your skin issues and in a couple days they email you back with a full recommended skincare routine using those products. They were very thorough when I contacted them.

O really like your Channel because 2 reasons. 1: you talk about the Science behind the products and dont put only really expensive brands and suponsors in our face. And reason number 2 is, you dont have afraid to make a TH-cam video without makeup in a way we can see your real skin.
I have spent HOURS researching this exact topic. My big issue is that I’m allergic to salicylic Acid and it’s in freaking everything. I learned that SA is also known as Seaberry, Willow Bark and Sea Horn Buckthorn. Also, any ingredient that begins with “sal” is in the same family. THANK YOU for this video. More people need to know about this! The niacinimide + zinc has literally saved my face. For the first time, my cystic acid is GONE! Gone! Yes please....do some “The Ordinary” skin care routines! 😘
Isn’t it crazy how some products work so well for some and work like crap for others??? I’ve learned to watch reviews simply for ideas of things to try. I’m always looking for the “perfect” product for my crazy skin!
Merry... my skin is supersensitive to sunscreen as well. For my skin I have found that the mineral powder SPF’s work best. IT cosmetics has a great pressed formula in a compact that I love and Supergoop! had a loose powder with a built in brush that I want to try. There are even ones you can get at the drugstore… I think physicians formula also has one. There’s something about the tackiness or the consistency of the liquid sunscreen that freaks my face out. In addition to SPF I also use different serums to help protect against environmental stressors and free radicals. I do have sun damage and melasma, from my youth and from pregnancies, And there are some seriously great products out there for fading dark spots.
The Niacinamide plus Azelaic acid on top of it also creates this gummy elmer’s glue reaction on my skin.. What works best is when I wait until the Niacinamide is completely dry before I put Azelaic Acid on top.. and that just creates the perfect base.. I don’t even need a primer or foundation.. this combo blurs out pores and in the long run made my pores super small.. I love The Ordinary products!
Thank you so much, you are such a great teacher or should I say adviser. In other for me to start any new skincare routine I have to listen to any of your videos that talks about that specific product before use. Could you please make a video about Ascorbique 8% Alpha Arbutine 2% from The Ordinary how to use it and which other product from the same line can be combine for safe use. I ordered it but I haven't seen a video of how to use and combination. Thank you❤🙏🏾

2:49 low pH means that there's a lot of hydrogen (in the form of H3O+) actually. High pH means there's a lot of OH- ions. H3O+ and OH- react with each other.
I’m so grateful for this video because the only thing keeping me from getting the ordinary is figuring out what not to mix. If you have darker skin you’re more prone to hyperpigmentation and that’s not cute.
I used to watch your videos when I was a teen. In the past when you had severe acne, now your skin looks amazing! You are very consistent and very smart since your first video. Amazing Cassandra! Thank you so much!
I started using the Niacinamide has became such an important part of my nightly routine. It shrinks my pores and helps my oil production a LOT! I use a pore extractor vacuum once weekly on target areas. Using this product after that has made my pores shrink a TON!
Would love a video on a skin care routine for acne prone / oily skin! I’ve struggled with acne for 20 years. I’ve started including acids in my regimen. I’ve seen the acne regimen on the ordinary’s website but it’s very basic in my opinion.
I FOUND YOU!!! I’ve been looking for you girl. I’ve been watching you since I was 13. I remember your first video.. I lost you for a bit but yay!!! Love skin care cuz of you♥️♥️♥️
I did the niamicinamide and vitamin c. My face looked like I put elmers liquid glue and it dried up and was peeling. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time what the combo was doing it.
I have had melasma for about 10 years thanks to our wonderful Florida sun and having a hard time finding sunscreen that didn't make me break out. The scarring was pretty bad for a number of years and I thought that I was going to have it forever. Thanks to you, I started using the ordinary products back in August of this year and my large dark "freckles" have really lightened up, also my breakouts have been minimized as well!! Thanks for all the knowledge you share 😁
It's crazy that this was in my recommended because I have been using the salicylic acid in conjunction with the peeling solution. Thank you so much for saving my skin!
Just wanted to say, I love to watch your videos! Really love your energy and your sense of humour :) Great tips as well! BIG FUN! Loads of love from the Uk xxx
I made this mistake and used two products which do not mix well together, so I would end with more acne :\ The issue is that we are given too many products at once and then we do not do the research.
I have oily skin and I used to mix the niacinamide with the vitamin C suspention and God did I hate the feeling! It made my skin looks SUPER oily, not glowy but oily and I live in the Caribbean so not very comfortable with the heat and humidity throughout the day making my face feel heavy, but I stop using them together and now my skin looks and feels better
I also use Azelaic acid the I don't like the formula of the one from The Ordinary. However I love the Azelaic Acid from Garden of Wisdom at Victoria Health. Same with the Alpha Arbutin ... the one from the Garden of Wisdom also contains Kojic Acid and I like the formula much better than The Ordinary.
My aesthetician recommended I use The Buffet serum at the same time as Niacinamide + Zinc - I have combination skin with redness - so far I mix them together and apply by dabbing in the morning, I've been seeing good results. Wondering what you think.
When I first heard of the ordianary brand, i was using 3 acids on my face, like in a consistent quantity. Because all this acids thing was new for me, i didn't knew the right way, so I burnt my face so bad, that even 1 year latrr i still struggle with some spots left. It's tragic. Because i was mixing the rong products in the rong quantity, like i used to se around. Oh, and i also wasn't using spf.
"This is BRAND NEW information!" - phoebe. :p I thought I was going to learn something new. I believe the Deciem actually has this exact information on their page. But I understand how this video can help and reach a larger audience. Thanks for sharing and reinforcing. ;)
Refreshingly honest and full of good,truthful info.Thank you for your very helpful video delivered with clarity,honesty and humor.. this no shit approach is very attractive and easy to absorb.Much appreciated.
Since the peeling solution is rinse off, you shouldn’t have any issues if you use it afterwards. I think the big one you can’t mix Niacinamide with is vitamin C.
If you’re trying to improve texture and brightness while also fading scars I recommend using the Azaelic Acid in the morning and at night Granactive Retinoid in Squaline and then use the Aha Bha peeling solution like once or twice a week as a follow up in the PM
Thank you so much for posting this! Was looking into ordering some products as I am very new to multi-step skin care and liked the amount of option the brand provided. I was concerned about what to use and what not to use together and the effects of mixing certain products so this really helps!
While buying The Ordinary products on their site I didn't know what to get and was also purchasing for my boyfriend. I have oily skin and he has dry skin. I came across The Ordinary Chatroom and they have posts on what products to get for your skin as well as a morning and evening routine. I bought everything we need and we're gonna follow those routines and see how they work. It's really helpful upon purchasing these for the first time. EDIT: Also sent an email to their support team about which products to get and I got the most detailed, clear response with recommended products, routines and which products you shouldn't mix together and why. I love this brand !
When you say “don’t use them together” do you mean use them in one day or at all. Because I use different acids together but one on one day then the other acid on another day never on the same
I'm pretty sure that's fine, you wash your face in the evening anyways. And at least rinse your face in the morning (washing it again might strip it), so they don't really have that much contact. But hun please don't tell me you leave the house with acids on your face and no high sun protection in the morning. That's literally asking for ruining your face... And Them reapplying your sunscreen every 2-3 hours, which cancels makeup unless you have a powder sunscreen. That's why I personally prefer to apply acids only at night, and just switch them up daily pretty much. 😘
@@sasha3432 vitamin c can be used during the day with spf but i wouldn’t recommend it. it can make your skin super sensitive and then you have the sun hitting your skin, just horrible for your skin. i use it at night just to avoid that risk
Regarding the vitamin c cream and the niacinamide serum, it must be the silicone in the cream that’s causing that. I use the vitamin c serum and they combine just fine. I do apply them separately though
Just a note on the mixing of salicylic acid and buffet - A pH 6 solution is still acidic as pH 7 is neutral. It reduced effectivity as the mixing of pH 3 and ph 6 would just average out somewhere in the middle. If it were to be an ‘acid - base’ reaction, buffet would have to contain a base (commonly hydroxides containing -OH but can be anything which accepts a proton (the H in the pH scale - the lower the pH, the more protons))
So, basically it is all about knowing basic chemistry and physics and applying some common sense 😊. But your video really made me more attentive since I am currently updating my skin care routine and planing to buy Ordinary products. Thank you so much for your information :).
I have oily-combination skin and the only products I use is the Cetaphil face wash and the Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel moisturizer. I want to try to use the ordinary skin care products but I'm not sure which ones I should get and what order to apply them. I do live in Florida so it's very humid here (idk if that has any effect on skin care)
Cetaphil is the 'safe' recommendation dermatologist always give because it's so gentle to the point of ineffective. If you have oily skin, its even less effective. I'd swap it for CeraVe SA Renewal.
I just read a review under ordinary by a customer warning us not to use these mixtures. Glad you made a vid because I forgot what i reserached on google...
Thank you for making this video so simple and direct!! I love The Ordinary and I try to go by the website recommendations and check the ingredients for interactions. These are some of my favorite products that I have naturally gravitated to using on different days of the week!😂
I mix the resveratrol with Vit C from the ordinary and I like the way they both spread together this is for my Vit C nights. I was wondering if it is okay to use the Glycolic acid as a toner and then use the alpha arbutin and niacinamide with the magnesium ascorbyl acid as another combination??? ****UPDATED****
I know I'm not Cassandra (sorry!) but the one thing that I personally do know, is that mixing your Vitamin C with Niacinamide actually cancels out the benefits of Vitamin C 🤷♀️. I realize that this was not your question, just thought I'd give you that little piece of helpful info ❤.
@@Ashanti_flower24 Oh my goodness you are 100% *correct* !! I searched 'reliable' sources (I was so misinformed by silly blogs/magazine posts 🤦♀️) and *YES* I stand corrected. Thank you. I love when I learn something new. BONUS: I can finally use my own serums together and not worry. Phew! *MYTH BUSTED* I'm so sorry for the misinformation I spewed.
Vitamin C and niacidmide are ok to use together. In fact, they can be beneficial. Paula's Choice explains this confidently in writing. I like that she explained they aren't a problem together, but she personally doesn't like how they feel together.
Can you mix the Niacinamide and Lactic acid 10% together. And can you mix the Niacinamide and aha bha peeling solution. I’m eaither going to choose one or the other
I literally once got a chemical burn patch on my skin cuz I layered The Ordinarys Lactic acid with the Benton AHA Skin toner. I though I could handle that mix of acids... clearly wrong! 😩🤣
I’m new to skincare to be honest and its pretty confusing. I’m 16 and my skin is dehydrated and dry... What bothers me the most are the blackheads on my nose and the hyperpigmentation that is left after some pimples. I’m just SO scared something will irritate or break me out! What could help me with those problems without drying me out? I loved your video, you’re so sweet! 👋💕 thank you!

I used to watch your videos when I was a teen. In the past when you had severe acne, now your skin looks amazing! You are very consistent and very smart since your first video. Amazing Cassandra! Thank you so much!
Her: “What happens when you mix an acid and a base
me when my A in chemistry: “ H20 “ (HOH)
It's water and a salt actually
I love The Ordinary, but the Buffet often makes me break out, and I'm really past the age when I should be breaking out.
I watched your channel years and years ago. Amazing how much you’ve grown your channel. Awesome work 👏 .
I started using the Niacinamide has became such an important part of my nightly routine. It shrinks my pores and helps my oil production a LOT! I use a pore extractor vacuum once weekly on target areas. Using this product after that has made my pores shrink a TON!
I adore your videos talking about The Ordinary
your skin is amazing! Crazy clear and smooth.
Would love a video on a skin care routine for acne prone / oily skin! I’ve struggled with acne for 20 years. I’ve started including acids in my regimen. I’ve seen the acne regimen on the ordinary’s website but it’s very basic in my opinion.
I FOUND YOU!!! I’ve been looking for you girl. I’ve been watching you since I was 13. I remember your first video.. I lost you for a bit but yay!!! Love skin care cuz of you♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much fir making this helpful video 😊
Aniqa Virk thank you so much for watching, and for your love and support!
Oh my gosh, I've seen so many of your comments, never realized you're a youtuber. You go boo. I like your video so much.
I love how straight to the point you are
Your personality is just life and you are so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful information.
6:04 are we just gonna ignore that perfect throw in the air wtf
I did the niamicinamide and vitamin c. My face looked like I put elmers liquid glue and it dried up and was peeling. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time what the combo was doing it.
I have had melasma for about 10 years thanks to our wonderful Florida sun and having a hard time finding sunscreen that didn't make me break out. The scarring was pretty bad for a number of years and I thought that I was going to have it forever. Thanks to you, I started using the ordinary products back in August of this year and my large dark "freckles" have really lightened up, also my breakouts have been minimized as well!! Thanks for all the knowledge you share 😁
Which products did you use ?
I remember watching tour videos few years ago. Your skin looks amazing now!
It's crazy that this was in my recommended because I have been using the salicylic acid in conjunction with the peeling solution. Thank you so much for saving my skin!
Can you talk about the oils the ordinary has, it would be really helpful :)))
oh my god, i’m so happy you’re still making youtube videos!!!! i used to watch you all the time in middle school and thought you were so cool
Just wanted to say, I love to watch your videos! Really love your energy and your sense of humour :) Great tips as well! BIG FUN! Loads of love from the Uk xxx
I made this mistake and used two products which do not mix well together, so I would end with more acne :\ The issue is that we are given too many products at once and then we do not do the research.
I have oily skin and I used to mix the niacinamide with the vitamin C suspention and God did I hate the feeling! It made my skin looks SUPER oily, not glowy but oily and I live in the Caribbean so not very comfortable with the heat and humidity throughout the day making my face feel heavy, but I stop using them together and now my skin looks and feels better
I'm so glad your skincare journey is now come to this. I remember a time when you'd tried everything and it wasn't working.
the "gummy" thing happens with the azelaic acid too :((
I also use Azelaic acid the I don't like the formula of the one from The Ordinary. However I love the Azelaic Acid from Garden of Wisdom at Victoria Health. Same with the Alpha Arbutin ... the one from the Garden of Wisdom also contains Kojic Acid and I like the formula much better than The Ordinary.
On the ordinary website it specifically says not to mix THEIR Niacinamide with Vitamin C as THEIR Niacinamide can affect the integrity of Vitamin C
My aesthetician recommended I use The Buffet serum at the same time as Niacinamide + Zinc - I have combination skin with redness - so far I mix them together and apply by dabbing in the morning, I've been seeing good results. Wondering what you think.
One of the best channels!! -Thank you for helping with the ordinary products😇😇
When I first heard of the ordianary brand, i was using 3 acids on my face, like in a consistent quantity. Because all this acids thing was new for me, i didn't knew the right way, so I burnt my face so bad, that even 1 year latrr i still struggle with some spots left. It's tragic. Because i was mixing the rong products in the rong quantity, like i used to se around. Oh, and i also wasn't using spf.
"This is BRAND NEW information!" - phoebe. :p
I thought I was going to learn something new. I believe the Deciem actually has this exact information on their page. But I understand how this video can help and reach a larger audience. Thanks for sharing and reinforcing. ;)
Kirush Raveen the thing is, people don’t read it
Holy cow your skin looks amazing! Your extreme coverage video was probably one of the first makeup videos I ever watched.
Refreshingly honest and full of good,truthful info.Thank you for your very helpful video delivered with clarity,honesty and humor.. this no shit approach is very attractive and easy to absorb.Much appreciated.
I use niacinamide & alpha arbutin together..so far its ok
I should hope so. They have a skincare routine on their website recommending that you use them together. Lol. I use them, too.
Can you use the “AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution facepeeling” & the “Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum” together? ☺️
Since the peeling solution is rinse off, you shouldn’t have any issues if you use it afterwards. I think the big one you can’t mix Niacinamide with is vitamin C.
Violet Gin thank you for the answer 😊😄
No
Ewelina Wieczorek 🤷🏼♀️
If you’re trying to improve texture and brightness while also fading scars I recommend using the Azaelic Acid in the morning and at night Granactive Retinoid in Squaline and then use the Aha Bha peeling solution like once or twice a week as a follow up in the PM
Thank you so much for posting this! Was looking into ordering some products as I am very new to multi-step skin care and liked the amount of option the brand provided. I was concerned about what to use and what not to use together and the effects of mixing certain products so this really helps!
While buying The Ordinary products on their site I didn't know what to get and was also purchasing for my boyfriend. I have oily skin and he has dry skin. I came across The Ordinary Chatroom and they have posts on what products to get for your skin as well as a morning and evening routine. I bought everything we need and we're gonna follow those routines and see how they work. It's really helpful upon purchasing these for the first time.
EDIT: Also sent an email to their support team about which products to get and I got the most detailed, clear response with recommended products, routines and which products you shouldn't mix together and why. I love this brand !
Desperately need a skincare routine for *cough* women over 40 with fine lines and starter wrinkles.
Retinol
Copper peptides
When you say “don’t use them together” do you mean use them in one day or at all. Because I use different acids together but one on one day then the other acid on another day never on the same
I'm pretty sure that's fine, you wash your face in the evening anyways. And at least rinse your face in the morning (washing it again might strip it), so they don't really have that much contact. But hun please don't tell me you leave the house with acids on your face and no high sun protection in the morning. That's literally asking for ruining your face... And Them reapplying your sunscreen every 2-3 hours, which cancels makeup unless you have a powder sunscreen. That's why I personally prefer to apply acids only at night, and just switch them up daily pretty much. 😘
@@lia8602 Does that include Vitamic C? Should that acid also be applied at night? If so, which would make sense -- I have been doing it all wrong...
@@sasha3432 vitamin c can be used during the day with spf but i wouldn’t recommend it. it can make your skin super sensitive and then you have the sun hitting your skin, just horrible for your skin. i use it at night just to avoid that risk
Regarding the vitamin c cream and the niacinamide serum, it must be the silicone in the cream that’s causing that. I use the vitamin c serum and they combine just fine. I do apply them separately though
Just a note on the mixing of salicylic acid and buffet - A pH 6 solution is still acidic as pH 7 is neutral. It reduced effectivity as the mixing of pH 3 and ph 6 would just average out somewhere in the middle.
If it were to be an ‘acid - base’ reaction, buffet would have to contain a base (commonly hydroxides containing -OH but can be anything which accepts a proton (the H in the pH scale - the lower the pH, the more protons))
1:53 why was it so satisfying to watch you throw the bottle up in the air and catch it like that? LOL
Can you do a combined anti aging and acne video using The Ordinary products?
So, basically it is all about knowing basic chemistry and physics and applying some common sense 😊. But your video really made me more attentive since I am currently updating my skin care routine and planing to buy Ordinary products. Thank you so much for your information :).
You’re my new favorite go to for the ordinary products😊
The vitamin c suspension in silicone makes my pores SO BIG and my skin texture so rough
I'm glad I'm not the only. It was horrific
I have oily-combination skin and the only products I use is the Cetaphil face wash and the Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel moisturizer. I want to try to use the ordinary skin care products but I'm not sure which ones I should get and what order to apply them. I do live in Florida so it's very humid here (idk if that has any effect on skin care)
Kerry Mannix you can email them with your skin concerns, and they’ll recommend you a routine!
Cetaphil is the 'safe' recommendation dermatologist always give because it's so gentle to the point of ineffective. If you have oily skin, its even less effective. I'd swap it for CeraVe SA Renewal.
I just read a review under ordinary by a customer warning us not to use these mixtures. Glad you made a vid because I forgot what i reserached on google...
Thank you for making this video so simple and direct!!
I love The Ordinary and I try to go by the website recommendations and check the ingredients for interactions.
These are some of my favorite products that I have naturally gravitated to using on different days of the week!😂
Could you do a video on good molecules products? 🎄✨
I mix the resveratrol with Vit C from the ordinary and I like the way they both spread together this is for my Vit C nights. I was wondering if it is okay to use the Glycolic acid as a toner and then use the alpha arbutin and niacinamide with the magnesium ascorbyl acid as another combination???
****UPDATED****
I know I'm not Cassandra (sorry!) but the one thing that I personally do know, is that mixing your Vitamin C with Niacinamide actually cancels out the benefits of Vitamin C 🤷♀️. I realize that this was not your question, just thought I'd give you that little piece of helpful info ❤.
Mira Fawn you can use niacinamide with vitamin C...
@@Ashanti_flower24 Oh my goodness you are 100% *correct* !! I searched 'reliable' sources (I was so misinformed by silly blogs/magazine posts 🤦♀️) and *YES* I stand corrected. Thank you. I love when I learn something new. BONUS: I can finally use my own serums together and not worry. Phew!
*MYTH BUSTED*
I'm so sorry for the misinformation I spewed.
Mira Fawn no problem 👍🏾
Mira Fawn you seem like a very kind person. ♥️
This is extremely helpful! Thank you for further helping to break it down
Vitamin C and niacidmide are ok to use together. In fact, they can be beneficial. Paula's Choice explains this confidently in writing. I like that she explained they aren't a problem together, but she personally doesn't like how they feel together.
Can you mix the Niacinamide and Lactic acid 10% together. And can you mix the Niacinamide and aha bha peeling solution. I’m eaither going to choose one or the other
Muwahib Ahmed ok thank you!!!
she looks like Hila Klein
Hila Klein + Tati Westbrook lol
Ashley Lennon hila and Tati’s offspring lol
Omg! Yes.... I thought I was using the products wrong when I started to experience the gummy effect. Love this, can’t wait to watch more!
I use The Ordinary , like always. I love the brand. No bullshit , no gaslighting. Icons
I literally once got a chemical burn patch on my skin cuz I layered The Ordinarys Lactic acid with the Benton AHA Skin toner. I though I could handle that mix of acids... clearly wrong! 😩🤣
Wow I haven't watched you in years you've grown so much still as beautiful as ever!
I’m new to skincare to be honest and its pretty confusing. I’m 16 and my skin is dehydrated and dry... What bothers me the most are the blackheads on my nose and the hyperpigmentation that is left after some pimples. I’m just SO scared something will irritate or break me out! What could help me with those problems without drying me out? I loved your video, you’re so sweet! 👋💕 thank you!
I’m studying to become an esthi and let me tell you .. you have taught me ingredients more than my own school , thank you
