@@ciara2837 same I'm gonna cry bcz i don't know where to start I've watched so many videos and feel like I'm just getting more confused and discouraged to even try to start taking care of my face : (
@@v.n1415 I just bought the lactic acid and niacinamide to start, since they arent expensive or harsh and have been said to be really good. You gotta start somewhere
APrettyMishap frrrr I’ve been getting into watching cassandra and hyram and it’s so complicated like even if a product is good you have to watch what you’re mixing it with and when you’re using it 😭
Wait what? The 30% peel you NEED to wash of and only have for MAX 10 minutes. Not washing it off is NOT an option. You have to wash it off. What the hell Cassandra?
I've used an entire bottle of this stuff. It works very well but you HAVE to wash it off! That is NOT optional! I wonder if Cassandra misspoke or something. She's typically a valid source of info, but that one sentence about not needing to washing it off is worrying.. besides that, great video!
My top TO'S skincare products that worked on my acne (from best to moderate) 1) Niacimide + zinc 2) Hyaluronic acid 3) Retinol 0.2% 4) Salicylic acid 5) Glycolic acid toner 6) Chemical exfoliation AHA/BHA
@@cherolk niaciminde broke me out too for the first 1 month I've used it but after that,my skin slowly adjust and niacimide actually helped me a lot on my skin textures and acne. Test it for 31 days paired with minimal skincare..i find that skincare goes better if its simple.
I loved when you said that your skin protects you and you should be protecting it, too. Very beautiful sentiment that some people often overlook. 😌 Thank you for all the wonderful information!
One year ago I found your youtube channel and heard for The Ordinary for the first time. Now, one year later I have my AM and PM regiment, my oily skin is not oily anymore and I can't remember when is the last time it looked so good. It took some time, some testing, some trial and error method, but it was worth it. Thank you Cassandra and thank you Deciem! ❤❤❤
I gotta say it's super refreshing hearing someone talk about skin and skincare with a science-based perspective. So much of youtube is teenagers reading off of the product page without any real knowledge of how or why something works. 100% will be returning to this channel
Just discovered you on facebook an hour ago and I am addicted! Finally someone who talks science and sense with the aims to educate not see products! Thank-you, I appreciate these videos and posts so much as I have been struggling to figure out a skin care routine by myself 😁
This video was referred by my friend, because I have a lot of dark spots/blemishes kinda like scars all over my face and I was wondering what kind of skincare routine to follow. And I have to say, the ENTIRE 16 MINS I watched without even losing a bit of interest. You speak so sooooo well, the way you talk abt the chemicals I really wish I had you for a teacher i would learn so much more easily😭😭 . You have A BEAUTIFUL voice and such a POSTIVE outlook, i loved this video so so much..it helped me so much because now I know what to get. I wanna convey my heartfelt thanks to you, because of the amt of effort you have put into this video. You deserve more!!!💗💗 I'm gonna try out some of these products soon ;)
This video did not feel 15min long! So informative and entertaining! Thank you so much for breaking down the science and categories for The Ordinary in a way that is easy to understand!
This video was so so so helpful! I have a rubbish skincare routine and my troubled sore skin doesn’t help. Thank you for this it’s made what seemed like another language easier to understand.😊😊😊
You can still get it in Europe, as Ordinary is sold everywhere here (farmacies, even H&M). Well, at least in Norway, I guess in other countries it is similar. So if you know anyone from the other side of the ocean, you might want to ask them for a little favour 😅
They claim that they're reformulating, but I don't understand why they're not selling the "old" serum while they're reformulating. So now I'm kind of wondering if there's some that they're not telling us. But if you're looking for one the Inkey List has a BHA serum and it works just as well I'm currently using it.
Hi, I just found out about your channel and subscribed immediately. I think you are one of the few people who really knows how to skincare and I needed that in my life One video recommendation is “knowing how to properly store these products” since some products specify how to store them like for instance protecting them from UV lights and making sure you are not denaturing protein structures” I really like your videos and can’t wait to binge watch them all❤️🤗
Thank you so much for taking the time to research how to use these. As a new user of The Ordinary products it has definitely been both confusing & overwhelming knowing how to use the products together. Bless you!
can u cassandra or someone please do a week agenda on what exactly to use in order on the ams and pms for a acne prone skin with scars cause im really lost lost lost😵
Liked the video until you said the AHA/BHA Acid does not need to be washed off. Please be more mindful about the information you share. Your subscribers trust you and will potentially hurt themselves.
Love the info and the schematics, ok the glitches with the dropper on your skin and the ‘Leave on peeling’ are forgiven 😇. Girl you look flawless. And without filters and blurring. You make it sound so easy. Go girl go.
I am so happy I found your Channel! I am finally trying to take care of my skin, my mom and I have the same exact skin type and I see her struggling now in her 50's and as I enter my 30's I wanna make sure I don't make the same choices!
i've been binging your videos for the past few days, and i must say you're amazing! thank you for being insightful about all literally everything dealing with skin. pretty much thank you for existing :)
im using the niacinamide and also the lactic acid but it seems to be giving me more breakouts especially on my chin which was supposed to be my target area as in the area i wanted the least pimples :(
@@idontknowwhatimdoinglol515 ive heard that lactic acid is not really recommended for sensitive and dry skin. a good deal breaker (which I should have bought instead of the lactic acid) is the salicylic acid. it really really goes deep in your skin and gets rid of blackheads, whiteheads and I also think pimples, in ither words, it gets all the dirt out. soon or later im going to buy in a cleanser form since I tend to break out (even tho im not acne prone)
@@anaritateixeira9208 tysm! ill definitely be trying that one out but the thing is I don't have sensitive skin so im confused on why its causing me so many breakouts (I even got a new bunch on my chin :( )
Thank you Cassandra❤️ i literally watch your vids before bed time for many weeks now instead of doing something else in my phone. I have learned a lot from you. 🦋❤️
what do u mean u don´t HAVE to wash the 30% aha off? leave it on over night or sth? gurl this stuff doesn´t sink into the skin and it´s not supposed to be on the skin for more than 10 min if u just don´t wash it off ur skin will literally fall off
TheFelixMaier correct. My mouth dropped when she said that. I’m pretty sure the AHA/BHA must be removed after maximum of 10 minutes as it’s a peel treatment not a leave on product. She mentioned it the video it was optional to wash off and I just wanted to mention I don’t think that’s correct according to the directions and strength. Perhaps edit in the comments so someone doesn’t follow this literally and get a chemical burn. First time users probably want to do half the time to be cautious. Then increase as tolerated.
I used it for 20-30 min for a while, it just made my skin much dryer over time. If it was that dangerous to use it more than 10 min they wouldn’t even sell it.
A J well matter of fact they don’t sell it in Canada for that reason. It exceeds the strength of AHAs they allow to be sold here for at home use. 30% would be professional use only so if I wanted a chemical peel I can get it by licensed salon or estheticians, derms etc. They also don’t sell the drunk elephant baby facial here for the same reason. So some countries take more conservative standards to ingredient strengths in over the counter skin care products and cosmetics. most people may not be able to tolerate that product for longer than 10 mins. you’re lucky your skin can/did.
Thanks for the teachings but I have a question because I just recently got the Peeling solution ( Aha) niacinamide and zinc and also ascorbic acid. Please explain to me how to use this during my routines.
I've been a follower for a while and I've recently started using the ordinary. I'm so grateful you uploaded a video about this. It came up in my research and I gotta say what you've put out is very comprehensive and educational. So I want to say again, thank you and please keep doing what you do. it's inspirational even from a different point of view I see what your talking about and the facts are there to back it up
THANK YOUUUU for this !!! 😭 I bought the retinoid from the ordinary because of your videos and review , and it is helping so much , I have been trying to find a good all over review of the brand and I trust the products you use as well as your word . Can’t even explain how happy I am . I have been dealing with painful hormonal acne since I was 14 and I’m 35 now .
Girl! I remember seeing some of your videos a long time ago when I first got into TH-cam. Your skin has come such a long way you look so beautiful & radiant 💘💘
I’m a licensed Esthetician who used to work at Deciem and here are my 2-cents: 1. The granactive retinoid is not retinol. It is a Trans ester of retinol/ hydroxypinacolone retinoate. It stimulates natural exfoliation (which stimulates collagen, reduce oil production, shed pigmentation) without the drying & irritating effects of regular retinol (with the same or better effect since it’s directly bioavailable). 2. Please wash off the aha+bha peeling solution. You have to. In fact, wash it off after 5 minutes if it’s your first time since it’s tricky to wash off in time. Use 1-2x a week. 3. Map isn’t the best moisturizer- its formulated as a treatment product not as a moisture step. You can if you like, but i would apply a moisturizer on top honestly. 4. Oils are more conditioning than hydrating (hydro=water) and borage had a high level of gamma linoleic acid which helps with sensitivity but is not for all skin types due to its fatty acid composition. If you are dry to normal this is great, but if your oily/combo, chia seed is better.
Hi. Can you help me with a question I have regarding their granactive retinoids? Most of them come diluted in squalane. Because it's an oil it should be applied after moisturizer, but treatments are supposed to be applied before moisturizers... Which way is the most effective? Also, will the 2% granactive retinoid in squalane and the 2% granactive retinoid emulsion work the same? One's oil based, the other's water based... Will they have the same efficacy? I'm sorry for all the questions, hope you can educate me. :)
Márcia you can use it in place of a moisturizer with a hydrating serum before it like hyaluronic acid since a moisturizer is just an oil and water based ingredient forced together. Or you can add a couple of drops of it to your moisturizer. The emulsion is a bit stronger than the 2% squalane and should be layered after hydrating serums.
Chrissy Mullins for all those conditions I would recommend in the day time to wear the alpha Arbutin+ha and niacinimde+zinc 2% under sunscreen to increase hydration retention, slow oil production and inhibit hyperpigmentation. At night, start with arbutin+ha, exfoliate with the mandelic acid to start every third night and follow up with either the NMF moisturizer or good oil’ squalane oil. Once or twice a week mask with salicylic 2%.
I have been obsessed with your videos for the last few days. You're incredibly smart and so pationate in your field of work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I appreciate this video. I just started using the Retinol w/ Squalane 0.2% and it’s been working wonders on my acne (I think it just needs more hydration) and fading red and deep scars. I was looking to try other Ordinary products but didn’t know where to start! I think I might go a percentage higher and try that out.
After a year of trying all different products, prescriptions- I tried the Ordinary. I had WEIRD acne. It took 4 months and my acne was GONE. Amazing!!!! My routine was: AM: Glycolic acid, Buffet, Niacinamide 10% & Zinc 1% (very strong- I had a purge period, very bad on neck/jaw). PM: Vitamin C (amazing for brightening &healing scars) Rosehip Oil (also great for healing scars). Be careful bc some of these products you cannot use at the same time of day. ex) vitamin C and niacinamide. Always use sunscreen. Also the AHA & BHA - once a week . SUPER STRONG, burns at 1st but very good!! WASH OFF AFTER 10 min no longer! Not like a mask- longer is NOT better! My face wash was the “La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Acne Face Wash” , swear by that! Hope that can help someone :) Great video :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you explain more about your Niacinamide purge period? I started using over a week ago and it cleared my cystic chin acne but I do have some breakouts popping up on my forehead. How long did the purge period last for you?
Rachel M I got really large cystic acne spots on my jaw line down into my neck where I was putting it for about a month. A few pimples here and there. One would pop up, go away, another one or 2 would come. It went away. If it continues for too long, it may not be the right product for you- like she mentioned in the video! :)
I love the ordinary because it is a super affordable (and their company as a whole is very sustainable and focuses on fair trade and doing good) and it is great way for the average person to step up their skincare game without spending all their money. Their products are afoot sable for anyone. The only thing I could complain about is that their products do require you as the consumer to have quite a bit of knowledge as to what each product is good for and what they am products helps treat. So I wish their site was a bit more user friendly and used more laypersons demean so any person could stumble upon the and get their products.. I use The Ordinarys Products to treat my concerns. I keep a basic cleanser/micellar water and moisturizer and I change all my other products on the daily depending on what my skin is doing.
Hey Guys, for those who are still finding the products overwhelming and want a simple video about how to use the products, I stumbled across a TH-camr named Tanicha Rose and she is straight to the point with her AM and PM routine for The Ordinary products. Also check The Ordinary website for different regimen depending on your skin type and what not to mix it with. I hope this helps. Link to You tuber’s Page (She’s called Tanicha Rose): th-cam.com/video/15n6ZwczFgY/w-d-xo.html Link to the ordinary regimen page: theordinary.deciem.com/regimen guide
Thank you so much for doing all this research and giving us such detailed explanations. I think our society is advanced to a point where we need to see the products in the front of the bottle. Being able to understand these chemicals and how they affect my skin helps me choose between products that are ACTUALLY what I'm looking for. The whole advertisement for skin care is overwhelming. I look forward to future skin care videos :)
Thank you so much you Angel! This has made it so much easier for me to understand what I should and shouldn't be using. My personal favourite is the niacinamide + Zinc- it had massively reduced my breakouts and my blackheads and my pores look visibly smaller. I also love using the Salicylic acid as a spot treatment for if I have a particularly inflamed breakout as I find it too irritating to apply all over the face.
You are so knowledgeable, I hope you talked about each products. They got way too many products but I would listen to you for hours just so I'll be informed.
Amazing video! Thank you so much. I suffer from PCOS and struggle with acne as a key symptom. I’ve orders some products after watching video and I’m so excited! This could really help change my life!
I just recently subbed to your channel and bought The Ordinary skin care line after watching your videos.I appreciate your helpful advice, as well as you actually using the products.I hope I get great results.🤞Thanks!!
I use so much stuff and my skin looks great. I’m sure I go overboard and probably could eliminate some but eh. I use Retin A, Buffet with coppper, vit c mixed with ferulic, naicinimide, HA, and lactic acid. Sunscreen is an absolute. I’ve had to do a lot of research though because so many things shouldn’t be mixed together or they become ineffective or can cause irritation. The Buffet really can’t be mixed with other products, as least that’s what I gather from reading up on it. I alternate my routine every other night.
Hi... what has helped u most with large pores, blackheads in T-zone, evening out your skin tone, and firming your skin and undereyes? It would be so helpful for me if you could answer to the problems i listed because i'm really looking forward to good skin!! I alrady use Retin A and Hylauronic acid
Diya Gupta Retin A should help. Don’t use any oil based products or facial oils. Try BHA and AHA’s to help with evening out the skin tone and it should also help with your pores. Honestly not sure if there’s much to do for tightening. I use the Nuface daily and take Vital Proteins collagen peptides. Don’t know that it helps but it’s worth the shot. Hope this helps some.
jhmm gf I actually only use 2 drops and i mix it with the tatcha vit c. I couldn’t use it with the ordinary’s vit c powder. It burned the crap out of my skin and irritated it like crazy.
Thank you so much for all months of research you put into this video! It was so helpful, as The Ordinary is skincare that I can actually afford. I would love to know what products shouldn't be combined, i.e. can Niacinimide be combined with Vitamin C?
Hello, thanks a lot for the video. I have blackheads on my nose and spare on my checks, what would u recommend, the peeling solution once a week or the salicylic acid serum? Thanks!
Love this video! I spent days to learn about all the different products from TO last March after I saw one of your other videos about The Ordinary. I had dehydrated skin, acne and redness and all of that got so much better with their products
Thank you very much. Before I found you, I didn't know anything about the ordinary and in fakt of that, I didn't even used it. You helped me understood the products and so I can help my skin by using those. My skin gets so much better since I used the ordinary. You helped me and my skin :) brilliant video❤️
Hi Cassandra, this was so freaking helpful I can't thank you enough! I started off this new skincare routine slowly from not having one at all. I'm a month deep with using a gentle cleanser, Ordinary toner, and Ordinary HA moisturizer. I'm at the point where I've seen good enough results to start introducing a serum and I'm looking at the Niacinamide+Zinc based on your feedback and other reviews. I'm curious to know what SPF you recommend to go along with these products? Thanks in advance :)
Thank you so much for these videos, true lifesavers! Just ordered my first batch of Ordinary products, based on their regime guide, but must admit, so much to understand and not sure what else to order, how to use precisely. your videos help a great deal, thank you :)
Awesome info about The Ordinary! I personally love the Niacinamide plus Zinc one. But I have heard a lot of good reviews about their Azelaic Acid too. My two favorite youtuber Dermatologists, Dr. Dray & Dr. Sam Bunting, both agree that it is better than Hydroquinone when it comes to fading marks and safest active for pregnancy. Have you tried this? Please make a review about that too. ❤️
omgg I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I have been looking for a proper review that explains the biochemistry behind these products! You really know your stuff. Thank you sososo much!
The nyacinamide has a weird effect for me.. i use it daily, makes red spots less visible..but when i forget it for one day my skin breaks out worse than before. Why?
same happened with me.. i used niacinamide for 8 months everyday.. then stopped using for 1 month and broke out like hell. now again using niacinamide and acne is reducing...
Niacinamide doesn't give long lasting results anyway. So it's normal for the benefits to go away when you stop using it. Dr Dray has some videos explaining this. You should check them out :)
Who else is a beginner with all these products and wants a video from her explaining which ones can be used together in the morning/evening and what order to apply them?! I just got an order in and I ordered a ton of different products from the Ordinary and feel lost on which to use with what etc and how often to use each one. For example she has a video saying that the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA with the Caffeine solution + ECGC work well together in the evening for hydration and reducing puffiness in the morning. Would if I also want to use the retinol? Do I use the retinol first and then put that other combo on afterwards? Those type of questions I have as a beginner just want to make sure I’m using them properly and know what order and what can be used in morning or night etc. Like this comment if you also need more info on this? Am I alone here? Haha I just want to learn more and understand better and only use what’s necessary and works together. 😊 I need help! Haha
Hi Cassandra , I am a new subscriber to your channel. I am here because I love The Ordinary brand. I have just started using retinol, vitamin C , arbutin , hyluronic acid as well as The ordinary AHA and BHA peeling solution. Absolutely love your reviews. 🙂💗 I have a quick question if I can use The Ordinary AHA BHA peeling solution as a spot treatment ? If yes how often? If No, do you have any recommendations ? TIA. 😊
Please don't leave the Peeling solution on your skin. You could possibly get a chemical burn. It is only suppose to be left on for 10 minutes. Also, It should not be applied as thick as was shown in the video. I started using products from The Ordinary three years ago. My skin can now take almost anything I throw at it, but when I first started, I developed a serious skin burn on my cheeks. Less is more with these products😊 Also, add one product at a time and use for a week or so before adding another. For example, my skin did not like the Buffet or some of the vitamin C formulas. But they work great for other people!
Is the handwritten guide that accompanies this video still available? I can’t seem to find the link you mention in the description box. Thank you so much for all your hard work putting this information together for us. I’ve been muddling through on my own with a more is more approach, and have wondered and worried about whether or not the products I have been using are helpful or harmful, especially in the combinations I’ve been trying. This is a lot to digest but extremely helpful and you may have very well saved me from a scary face disaster!
I absolutely love The Ordinary's products and use them almost exclusively for my skin care routine, but I just wanted to echo your comments about the Nyacinimide. While I normally have the skin of an alligator, the Nyacinimide gave me the worst reaction I've ever seen. My entire face swelled up and was bright red and angry looking. Plus, it hurt!! So now I've obviously eliminated it from my routine. Other than that, I've had great success and a noticeable improvement in my skin. Thanks for a great video!
I use niacinamide, the buffet, HA twice daily, 23% vitamin C in the morning, then granactive retinol 5% at night. I also use the lactic acid once a week and the salicylic acid masque once a week :)
I love how clearly you explain all the ingredients. I have found that some you tubers don’t have a clear explanation of the ingredients and how they work. Which makes it more confusing. Thanks for all the info!
I am watching now all your ordinary videos and takes notes bec my mom and I want to start a skin care routine and i heard great things about this brand plus i love how you explain everything 😍 thank you 🙏🏼
I love the ordinary. I think you forgot to talk about the hyaluronic acid serum. I layer the serum and then the natural moisturizing factors. I have dry skin but layering them has helped alot instead of just using one or the other. You said that hyaluronic acid might actually dehydrate your skin. I have not had problems with dehydration but could that become a problem with layering the two products? I also like the glycolic acid solution they have.
Selena Mattel I LOVE the hyaluronic acid serum! I apply it right after cleansing my face morning and evening. But, I leave my face WET. Then I give it time to dry and really sink into my skin (at least 5 minutes). Then I apply the rest of my skincare. This also makes it less "sticky"!
hyaluronic acid doesn’t dehydrate your skin. It holds up to 1000x it’s weight in water. I did a research presentation on it for my organic chemistry lab. HA gets rid of fine lines over time and basically plumps your skin when applied topically. We naturally produce HA in our body, most of it is in our skin, but we also have some in the fluid of our eyes and joints. It’s purpose is to lubricate. Due to environmental stressors like UV exposure from the sun and pollution, our skin’s levels of hyaluronic acid are relatively low. So we can fix that by topically applying hyaluronic acid to our skin. It helps our skin become more plump and hydrated/supple. Great for anti-aging. And on that note, consuming vitamin E daily can also help prevent early signs of aging because vitamin E is a natural antioxidant.
Selena Mattei I’m majoring in chemistry and since I did a thorough research presentation on the topic and got an A on it I promise I know these facts to be true! Maybe cassandra forgot or misspoke.
I emailed the company, told them my concerns, they emailed back with a morning and night regimen. Which products to use, the order to use them in, and when. They are amazing.
@Alina Skywalker I just explained what they said. My concerns would not be the same as your concerns as everyone has different skin, therefore different products would be recommended. I suggest to anyone interested in these products to submit an email with what your personal concerns are and you will see that they will recommend products for you specifically.
You are amazing! I like your thorough explanation of each product and the graphics. Many of my questions have been answered. Sunscreen! Finding a sunscreen for your face and body that is not sticky and scented. - Sure would like to know if one exists. Also, when do you add your facial sunscreen? - After the cleanser?
Karen Lynne Scott _There are sunscreens for both face and body. Examples of those sunscreens you can lookup in order to try and see what works for you: 1. Supergroop SPF 2.

Dear Cassandra, I just love your videos!!!! Thank you for this one, because The Ordinary is the favourite brand I'm using, so thank you for explanation. ♥️
Please do an edit to tell people that they should always wash off the ordinary chemical peel. You shouldn't tell people they don't have to. It's a potent peel especially for beginners at acids. Someone could watch your video and leave it on and really harm their face!
Thanks Cassandra! Glad I found you. I'm binge watching all videos about The Ordinary (and others) and I'm now trying a new routine with the Retinoid, Buffet & Natural M. factors HA. I have been using for 5 days and I'm already noticing my skin changing. Thank you :) Will keep watching and updating or adding more products as I go.

Absolutely this MUST be washed off, and left on NO longer than 10 mini or you WILL burn your face!
I know right.......

This is why you should take advice from ACTUAL trained professionals. Just because of years of experience on your own face doesn't make you an expert

I gotta say it's super refreshing hearing someone talk about skin and skincare with a science-based perspective. So much of youtube is teenagers reading off of the product page without any real knowledge of how or why something works. 100% will be returning to this channel
Just discovered you on facebook an hour ago and I am addicted! Finally someone who talks science and sense with the aims to educate not see products! Thank-you, I appreciate these videos and posts so much as I have been struggling to figure out a skin care routine by myself 😁
This video was referred by my friend, because I have a lot of dark spots/blemishes kinda like scars all over my face and I was wondering what kind of skincare routine to follow. And I have to say, the ENTIRE 16 MINS I watched without even losing a bit of interest. You speak so sooooo well, the way you talk abt the chemicals I really wish I had you for a teacher i would learn so much more easily😭😭 . You have A BEAUTIFUL voice and such a POSTIVE outlook, i loved this video so so much..it helped me so much because now I know what to get. I wanna convey my heartfelt thanks to you, because of the amt of effort you have put into this video. You deserve more!!!💗💗 I'm gonna try out some of these products soon ;)
Can you please elaborate a bit on how you combine and layer the products?
This video did not feel 15min long! So informative and entertaining! Thank you so much for breaking down the science and categories for The Ordinary in a way that is easy to understand!
This is exactly the video I was looking for, I was literally on the ordinary website trying to understand which product would be good for me!
This video was so so so helpful! I have a rubbish skincare routine and my troubled sore skin doesn’t help. Thank you for this it’s made what seemed like another language easier to understand.😊😊😊
The salicylic acid 2% solution is always sold out 🤦🏽♀️😭
IKR, been trying to get one for past 2 months now
Its not produced anymore.
You can still get it in Europe, as Ordinary is sold everywhere here (farmacies, even H&M). Well, at least in Norway, I guess in other countries it is similar. So if you know anyone from the other side of the ocean, you might want to ask them for a little favour 😅
@@Inetuke26 they told me in germany its not produced anymore
They claim that they're reformulating, but I don't understand why they're not selling the "old" serum while they're reformulating. So now I'm kind of wondering if there's some that they're not telling us. But if you're looking for one the Inkey List has a BHA serum and it works just as well I'm currently using it.
Hi, I just found out about your channel and subscribed immediately. I think you are one of the few people who really knows how to skincare and I needed that in my life
One video recommendation is “knowing how to properly store these products” since some products specify how to store them like for instance protecting them from UV lights and making sure you are not denaturing protein structures”
I really like your videos and can’t wait to binge watch them all❤️🤗
Thank you so much for taking the time to research how to use these. As a new user of The Ordinary products it has definitely been both confusing & overwhelming knowing how to use the products together. Bless you!
can u cassandra or someone please do a week agenda on what exactly to use in order on the ams and pms for a acne prone skin with scars cause im really lost lost lost😵
Liked the video until you said the AHA/BHA Acid does not need to be washed off. Please be more mindful about the information you share. Your subscribers trust you and will potentially hurt themselves.
Thanks for bringing this up! Please see here: th-cam.com/video/zjSYSPIljOo/w-d-xo.html
Love the info and the schematics, ok the glitches with the dropper on your skin and the ‘Leave on peeling’ are forgiven 😇. Girl you look flawless. And without filters and blurring. You make it sound so easy. Go girl go.
I want to thank you, because of you I got rid my acne, really, I mean it, :) you are so great
Care to share your skincare routine?
Pls share your routine
Share please
please share your routine
What's your skin routine
I am so happy I found your Channel! I am finally trying to take care of my skin, my mom and I have the same exact skin type and I see her struggling now in her 50's and as I enter my 30's I wanna make sure I don't make the same choices!
U would be such a great teacher.
She IS.
Agree🙌🏻
Been binge watching your vids for HOURS. So helpful, thank you!!💖
i've been binging your videos for the past few days, and i must say you're amazing! thank you for being insightful about all literally everything dealing with skin. pretty much thank you for existing :)
Didn't know much about skincare but wanted to give it a try, found this video and GIRL you opened my eyes! Thanks so much :3
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% solution becomes my Holy Grail. And Hemi-Squalane. Best oil ever.
takelage55 how long have you been using it ?
i just ordered the niacinamide 👁👄👁 im hoping great results tbh even tho my skincare isnt as i want cuz i still have products to finish
im using the niacinamide and also the lactic acid but it seems to be giving me more breakouts especially on my chin which was supposed to be my target area as in the area i wanted the least pimples :(
@@idontknowwhatimdoinglol515 ive heard that lactic acid is not really recommended for sensitive and dry skin. a good deal breaker (which I should have bought instead of the lactic acid) is the salicylic acid. it really really goes deep in your skin and gets rid of blackheads, whiteheads and I also think pimples, in ither words, it gets all the dirt out. soon or later im going to buy in a cleanser form since I tend to break out (even tho im not acne prone)
@@anaritateixeira9208 tysm! ill definitely be trying that one out but the thing is I don't have sensitive skin so im confused on why its causing me so many breakouts (I even got a new bunch on my chin :( )
Thank you Cassandra❤️ i literally watch your vids before bed time for many weeks now instead of doing something else in my phone. I have learned a lot from you. 🦋❤️
what do u mean u don´t HAVE to wash the 30% aha off? leave it on over night or sth? gurl this stuff doesn´t sink into the skin and it´s not supposed to be on the skin for more than 10 min if u just don´t wash it off ur skin will literally fall off
TheFelixMaier correct. My mouth dropped when she said that.
I’m pretty sure the AHA/BHA must be removed after maximum of 10 minutes as it’s a peel treatment not a leave on product. She mentioned it the video it was optional to wash off and I just wanted to mention I don’t think that’s correct according to the directions and strength. Perhaps edit in the comments so someone doesn’t follow this literally and get a chemical burn. First time users probably want to do half the time to be cautious. Then increase as tolerated.
Eek yea! Wash that stuff off.
I used it for 20-30 min for a while, it just made my skin much dryer over time. If it was that dangerous to use it more than 10 min they wouldn’t even sell it.
A J well matter of fact they don’t sell it in Canada for that reason. It exceeds the strength of AHAs they allow to be sold here for at home use. 30% would be professional use only so if I wanted a chemical peel I can get it by licensed salon or estheticians, derms etc. They also don’t sell the drunk elephant baby facial here for the same reason. So some countries take more conservative standards to ingredient strengths in over the counter skin care products and cosmetics.
most people may not be able to tolerate that product for longer than 10 mins. you’re lucky your skin can/did.
@@aj5374 yes if your skin can tolerate 20 to 30 mins but never leave it on. It says so on the label
Thanks for the teachings but I have a question because I just recently got the Peeling solution ( Aha) niacinamide and zinc and also ascorbic acid.
Please explain to me how to use this during my routines.
Omg the last time I saw a video of you was years ago and im shocked how stunning your skin looks! Im sooo happy for you!!
Same, just found her again and was shocked at how good her skin looked!
I've been a follower for a while and I've recently started using the ordinary. I'm so grateful you uploaded a video about this. It came up in my research and I gotta say what you've put out is very comprehensive and educational. So I want to say again, thank you and please keep doing what you do. it's inspirational even from a different point of view I see what your talking about and the facts are there to back it up
I’m having a hard time picking out products. Thank you for this video.
Me too. I appreciate the thorough explanation.
THANK YOUUUU for this !!! 😭 I bought the retinoid
from the ordinary because of your videos and review , and it is helping so much , I have been trying to find a good all over review of the brand and I trust the products you use as well as your word . Can’t even explain how happy I am . I have been dealing with painful hormonal acne since I was 14 and I’m 35 now .
Girl! I remember seeing some of your videos a long time ago when I first got into TH-cam. Your skin has come such a long way you look so beautiful & radiant 💘💘
How just brought paper and and a pen and replayed the video to make the perfect routine for herself.... Thank u so much.. I love u..
I’m a licensed Esthetician who used to work at Deciem and here are my 2-cents:
1. The granactive retinoid is not retinol. It is a Trans ester of retinol/ hydroxypinacolone retinoate. It stimulates natural exfoliation (which stimulates collagen, reduce oil production, shed pigmentation) without the drying & irritating effects of regular retinol (with the same or better effect since it’s directly bioavailable).
2. Please wash off the aha+bha peeling solution. You have to. In fact, wash it off after 5 minutes if it’s your first time since it’s tricky to wash off in time. Use 1-2x a week.
3. Map isn’t the best moisturizer- its formulated as a treatment product not as a moisture step. You can if you like, but i would apply a moisturizer on top honestly.
4. Oils are more conditioning than hydrating (hydro=water) and borage had a high level of gamma linoleic acid which helps with sensitivity but is not for all skin types due to its fatty acid composition. If you are dry to normal this is great, but if your oily/combo, chia seed is better.
Hi. Can you help me with a question I have regarding their granactive retinoids? Most of them come diluted in squalane. Because it's an oil it should be applied after moisturizer, but treatments are supposed to be applied before moisturizers... Which way is the most effective?
Also, will the 2% granactive retinoid in squalane and the 2% granactive retinoid emulsion work the same? One's oil based, the other's water based... Will they have the same efficacy?
I'm sorry for all the questions, hope you can educate me. :)
Márcia hey, you’d probably be better off just asking The Ordinary team on their “contact us” page or on their insta
Márcia you can use it in place of a moisturizer with a hydrating serum before it like hyaluronic acid since a moisturizer is just an oil and water based ingredient forced together. Or you can add a couple of drops of it to your moisturizer. The emulsion is a bit stronger than the 2% squalane and should be layered after hydrating serums.
Will you PLEASE give me advice on which of these products to use for un uneven skin tone/dryness/pigmentation? I also have acne prone skin.
Chrissy Mullins for all those conditions I would recommend in the day time to wear the alpha Arbutin+ha and niacinimde+zinc 2% under sunscreen to increase hydration retention, slow oil production and inhibit hyperpigmentation. At night, start with arbutin+ha, exfoliate with the mandelic acid to start every third night and follow up with either the NMF moisturizer or good oil’ squalane oil. Once or twice a week mask with salicylic 2%.
I have been obsessed with your videos for the last few days. You're incredibly smart and so pationate in your field of work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I appreciate this video. I just started using the Retinol w/ Squalane 0.2% and it’s been working wonders on my acne (I think it just needs more hydration) and fading red and deep scars. I was looking to try other Ordinary products but didn’t know where to start! I think I might go a percentage higher and try that out.
Can I just say thank you so much for this video. I had no idea where to start, but I’m excited now. Also I absolutely loved hearing you talk. 🤭💕🤩💗
After a year of trying all different products, prescriptions- I tried the Ordinary. I had WEIRD acne. It took 4 months and my acne was GONE. Amazing!!!! My routine was:
AM: Glycolic acid, Buffet, Niacinamide 10% & Zinc 1% (very strong- I had a purge period, very bad on neck/jaw).
PM: Vitamin C (amazing for brightening &healing scars) Rosehip Oil (also great for healing scars).
Be careful bc some of these products you cannot use at the same time of day. ex) vitamin C and niacinamide.
Always use sunscreen.
Also the AHA & BHA - once a week . SUPER STRONG, burns at 1st but very good!! WASH OFF AFTER 10 min no longer! Not like a mask- longer is NOT better!
My face wash was the “La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Acne Face Wash” , swear by that! Hope that can help someone :)
Great video :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you explain more about your Niacinamide purge period? I started using over a week ago and it cleared my cystic chin acne but I do have some breakouts popping up on my forehead. How long did the purge period last for you?
Rachel M I got really large cystic acne spots on my jaw line down into my neck where I was putting it for about a month. A few pimples here and there. One would pop up, go away, another one or 2 would come. It went away. If it continues for too long, it may not be the right product for you- like she mentioned in the video! :)
I’m very impressed with how educational and entertaining this video is! Like I didn’t expect to learn this today! Thank you!
I love the ordinary because it is a super affordable (and their company as a whole is very sustainable and focuses on fair trade and doing good) and it is great way for the average person to step up their skincare game without spending all their money.
Their products are afoot sable for anyone. The only thing I could complain about is that their products do require you as the consumer to have quite a bit of knowledge as to what each product is good for and what they am products helps treat. So I wish their site was a bit more user friendly and used more laypersons demean so any person could stumble upon the and get their products..
I use The Ordinarys Products to treat my concerns. I keep a basic cleanser/micellar water and moisturizer and I change all my other products on the daily depending on what my skin is doing.
This was by far the best video for explaining the Ordinary products. Yes please! More videos like this.
IS SHE TATI’S SISTER?
I just got 7 ordinary products and I'm so excited for my skin care! Thanks for these ordinary videos
I’m a water microbiologist and we think the same way with remembering things!

Hey Guys, for those who are still finding the products overwhelming and want a simple video about how to use the products, I stumbled across a TH-camr named Tanicha Rose and she is straight to the point with her AM and PM routine for The Ordinary products. Also check The Ordinary website for different regimen depending on your skin type and what not to mix it with. I hope this helps.

I'm in love with that brand.
Thank you so much for doing all this research and giving us such detailed explanations. I think our society is advanced to a point where we need to see the products in the front of the bottle. Being able to understand these chemicals and how they affect my skin helps me choose between products that are ACTUALLY what I'm looking for. The whole advertisement for skin care is overwhelming. I look forward to future skin care videos :)
Thank you so much you Angel! This has made it so much easier for me to understand what I should and shouldn't be using. My personal favourite is the niacinamide + Zinc- it had massively reduced my breakouts and my blackheads and my pores look visibly smaller. I also love using the Salicylic acid as a spot treatment for if I have a particularly inflamed breakout as I find it too irritating to apply all over the face.
You are so knowledgeable, I hope you talked about each products. They got way too many products but I would listen to you for hours just so I'll be informed.
Why are you not even having 1 million subscribers?? U deserves so so much more support Cassandra! XOXO frm Singapore.
Amazing video! Thank you so much. I suffer from PCOS and struggle with acne as a key symptom. I’ve orders some products after watching video and I’m so excited! This could really help change my life!
Would you be able to do a skincare video for pregnant women? It’s hard not freaking out over some ingredients and trying to find the “safest” combo
emily_brandy stay away from salicylic acid/bha and retinol/retinoids. You can use anything else.
hey girl, your skin is looking better and better.
Girl why are you touching these droppers directly on your skin?
Hey dear! Great point, please see here: th-cam.com/video/zjSYSPIljOo/w-d-xo.html
You're becoming one of my favorite youtubers! The way you teach is super easy to follow and understand, plus you're hilarious!
Thank you! Def you choose what you love, dermatologist. I see your passion. ❤😍
I just recently subbed to your channel and bought The Ordinary skin care line after watching your videos.I appreciate your helpful advice, as well as you actually using the products.I hope I get great results.🤞Thanks!!
I use so much stuff and my skin looks great. I’m sure I go overboard and probably could eliminate some but eh. I use Retin A, Buffet with coppper, vit c mixed with ferulic, naicinimide, HA, and lactic acid. Sunscreen is an absolute. I’ve had to do a lot of research though because so many things shouldn’t be mixed together or they become ineffective or can cause irritation. The Buffet really can’t be mixed with other products, as least that’s what I gather from reading up on it. I alternate my routine every other night.
Hi... what has helped u most with large pores, blackheads in T-zone, evening out your skin tone, and firming your skin and undereyes? It would be so helpful for me if you could answer to the problems i listed because i'm really looking forward to good skin!! I alrady use Retin A and Hylauronic acid
Diya Gupta Retin A should help. Don’t use any oil based products or facial oils. Try BHA and AHA’s to help with evening out the skin tone and it should also help with your pores. Honestly not sure if there’s much to do for tightening. I use the Nuface daily and take Vital Proteins collagen peptides. Don’t know that it helps but it’s worth the shot. Hope this helps some.
How much ferulic do you use with vit c?It burns my skin a lot.
jhmm gf I actually only use 2 drops and i mix it with the tatcha vit c. I couldn’t use it with the ordinary’s vit c powder. It burned the crap out of my skin and irritated it like crazy.
@@bnb0510 which vit c do you use?
Cassandra is making me understand chemistry more than my high school teacher ever did!!
i feel like watching a chemistry crash course LOVE IT
I wasn't sure how to use them with so many products but now I know. Thank you cant wait to get started 🦋
Thank you so much for all months of research you put into this video! It was so helpful, as The Ordinary is skincare that I can actually afford. I would love to know what products shouldn't be combined, i.e. can Niacinimide be combined with Vitamin C?
Your hair looks WONDERFUL!!
Hello, thanks a lot for the video. I have blackheads on my nose and spare on my checks, what would u recommend, the peeling solution once a week or the salicylic acid serum? Thanks!
Love this video! I spent days to learn about all the different products from TO last March after I saw one of your other videos about The Ordinary. I had dehydrated skin, acne and redness and all of that got so much better with their products
Hi Cassandra, do you suggest use the buffet with dermaroller? Ly xoxo
i love how you deliver this info so concisely
thank you so much for this video!! I wanted to try the ordinary for a while, but I wasn't sure what to buy :D
Thank you very much. Before I found you, I didn't know anything about the ordinary and in fakt of that, I didn't even used it. You helped me understood the products and so I can help my skin by using those. My skin gets so much better since I used the ordinary. You helped me and my skin :) brilliant video❤️
Hi Cassandra, this was so freaking helpful I can't thank you enough! I started off this new skincare routine slowly from not having one at all. I'm a month deep with using a gentle cleanser, Ordinary toner, and Ordinary HA moisturizer. I'm at the point where I've seen good enough results to start introducing a serum and I'm looking at the Niacinamide+Zinc based on your feedback and other reviews. I'm curious to know what SPF you recommend to go along with these products? Thanks in advance :)
Thank you so much for these videos, true lifesavers! Just ordered my first batch of Ordinary products, based on their regime guide, but must admit, so much to understand and not sure what else to order, how to use precisely. your videos help a great deal, thank you :)
Awesome info about The Ordinary! I personally love the Niacinamide plus Zinc one. But I have heard a lot of good reviews about their Azelaic Acid too. My two favorite youtuber Dermatologists, Dr. Dray & Dr. Sam Bunting, both agree that it is better than Hydroquinone when it comes to fading marks and safest active for pregnancy. Have you tried this? Please make a review about that too. ❤️
Yes the Azelaic Acid, alpha arbutin, and niacinamide helped fade my acne scars so much! The acids are good too
Britny Snyder That’s great! I will give these a try too. 😊
omgg I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I have been looking for a proper review that explains the biochemistry behind these products! You really know your stuff. Thank you sososo much!
The nyacinamide has a weird effect for me.. i use it daily, makes red spots less visible..but when i forget it for one day my skin breaks out worse than before. Why?
She explained the skin is purging
same happened with me.. i used niacinamide for 8 months everyday.. then stopped using for 1 month and broke out like hell. now again using niacinamide and acne is reducing...
@@jan-nn9ix yes, at first, sure.. it purges. But after months of use.. i dont use it for one day and i break out. Thats not purging anymore
@@xoxoJGWS Dont use it then. Some products cause this reaction. No product should make your skin reliant on one product
Niacinamide doesn't give long lasting results anyway. So it's normal for the benefits to go away when you stop using it. Dr Dray has some videos explaining this. You should check them out :)
Who else is a beginner with all these products and wants a video from her explaining which ones can be used together in the morning/evening and what order to apply them?! I just got an order in and I ordered a ton of different products from the Ordinary and feel lost on which to use with what etc and how often to use each one. For example she has a video saying that the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA with the Caffeine solution + ECGC work well together in the evening for hydration and reducing puffiness in the morning. Would if I also want to use the retinol? Do I use the retinol first and then put that other combo on afterwards? Those type of questions I have as a beginner just want to make sure I’m using them properly and know what order and what can be used in morning or night etc. Like this comment if you also need more info on this? Am I alone here? Haha I just want to learn more and understand better and only use what’s necessary and works together. 😊 I need help! Haha
I forgot to mention a lot of ones I ordered she doesn’t mention in this video.
Hi Cassandra , I am a new subscriber to your channel. I am here because I love The Ordinary brand. I have just started using retinol, vitamin C , arbutin , hyluronic acid as well as The ordinary AHA and BHA peeling solution. Absolutely love your reviews. 🙂💗
I have a quick question if I can use The Ordinary AHA BHA peeling solution as a spot treatment ? If yes how often? If No, do you have any recommendations ? TIA. 😊
I dont think it should be left on for more than 10 mins
Please don't leave the Peeling solution on your skin. You could possibly get a chemical burn. It is only suppose to be left on for 10 minutes. Also, It should not be applied as thick as was shown in the video. I started using products from The Ordinary three years ago. My skin can now take almost anything I throw at it, but when I first started, I developed a serious skin burn on my cheeks. Less is more with these products😊 Also, add one product at a time and use for a week or so before adding another. For example, my skin did not like the Buffet or some of the vitamin C formulas. But they work great for other people!
Is the handwritten guide that accompanies this video still available? I can’t seem to find the link you mention in the description box. Thank you so much for all your hard work putting this information together for us. I’ve been muddling through on my own with a more is more approach, and have wondered and worried about whether or not the products I have been using are helpful or harmful, especially in the combinations I’ve been trying. This is a lot to digest but extremely helpful and you may have very well saved me from a scary face disaster!
Wait im confused, so technically what was the order of this skincare line?
trying to figure this out too.. every video just talks about the ingredients in it, not how to actually use them.
www.deciemchatroom.com/how-to-layer-the-ordinary/ I found this very helpful for figuring out what order to put The Ordinary products on
I absolutely love The Ordinary's products and use them almost exclusively for my skin care routine, but I just wanted to echo your comments about the Nyacinimide. While I normally have the skin of an alligator, the Nyacinimide gave me the worst reaction I've ever seen. My entire face swelled up and was bright red and angry looking. Plus, it hurt!! So now I've obviously eliminated it from my routine. Other than that, I've had great success and a noticeable improvement in my skin. Thanks for a great video!
did it react with something else, or are you allergic? ive used it for a few weeks and its great!
I still don't have a clue how to use my products or wich order to use them or if I use them alll together waaa
I use niacinamide, the buffet, HA twice daily, 23% vitamin C in the morning, then granactive retinol 5% at night. I also use the lactic acid once a week and the salicylic acid masque once a week :)
That coach though took back maybe 10 yrs or so when I first saw you
I love how clearly you explain all the ingredients. I have found that some you tubers don’t have a clear explanation of the ingredients and how they work. Which makes it more confusing. Thanks for all the info!
Love this....demystifying skin care....genius ❤️❤️
I am watching now all your ordinary videos and takes notes bec my mom and I want to start a skin care routine and i heard great things about this brand plus i love how you explain everything 😍 thank you 🙏🏼
You. Are. GORGEOUS.
omg how are you not over 1 million subscribers by now ? this video was so helpful cassandra, thank you!
I love the ordinary. I think you forgot to talk about the hyaluronic acid serum. I layer the serum and then the natural moisturizing factors. I have dry skin but layering them has helped alot instead of just using one or the other. You said that hyaluronic acid might actually dehydrate your skin. I have not had problems with dehydration but could that become a problem with layering the two products? I also like the glycolic acid solution they have.
Selena Mattel I LOVE the hyaluronic acid serum! I apply it right after cleansing my face morning and evening. But, I leave my face WET. Then I give it time to dry and really sink into my skin (at least 5 minutes). Then I apply the rest of my skincare. This also makes it less "sticky"!
hyaluronic acid doesn’t dehydrate your skin. It holds up to 1000x it’s weight in water. I did a research presentation on it for my organic chemistry lab. HA gets rid of fine lines over time and basically plumps your skin when applied topically. We naturally produce HA in our body, most of it is in our skin, but we also have some in the fluid of our eyes and joints. It’s purpose is to lubricate. Due to environmental stressors like UV exposure from the sun and pollution, our skin’s levels of hyaluronic acid are relatively low. So we can fix that by topically applying hyaluronic acid to our skin. It helps our skin become more plump and hydrated/supple. Great for anti-aging. And on that note, consuming vitamin E daily can also help prevent early signs of aging because vitamin E is a natural antioxidant.
@@xursssulaxx Im so confused then. I thought Cassandra is going to school for biochem or dermatology or something. Also shes an aesthetician.
Selena Mattei I’m majoring in chemistry and since I did a thorough research presentation on the topic and got an A on it I promise I know these facts to be true! Maybe cassandra forgot or misspoke.
This was probably the most useful video on The Ordinary that I've seen. Thank you!!!
Are all of these products ok to combine? I know that sometimes combining certain products renders them useless.
I emailed the company, told them my concerns, they emailed back with a morning and night regimen. Which products to use, the order to use them in, and when. They are amazing.
@@natashalegendre-wafer735 and what did they exactly say?
@@saara1296 I told them my age, my concerns, and they sent me a regimen to try with products that would target my concerns. I was very impressed!
@Alina Skywalker I just explained what they said. My concerns would not be the same as your concerns as everyone has different skin, therefore different products would be recommended. I suggest to anyone interested in these products to submit an email with what your personal concerns are and you will see that they will recommend products for you specifically.
@Alina Skywalker No problem, I thought maybe you misunderstood my initial comment. Cheers.
You are amazing! I like your thorough explanation of each product and the graphics. Many of my questions have been answered. Sunscreen! Finding a sunscreen for your face and body that is not sticky and scented. - Sure would like to know if one exists. Also, when do you add your facial sunscreen? - After the cleanser?

Cassandra did you take/try birth control? Could you do a video about it?
Dear Cassandra, I just love your videos!!!! Thank you for this one, because The Ordinary is the favourite brand I'm using, so thank you for explanation. ♥️
New to Your chanell an Love The ordinary !!! The Website is a nitemare for me
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Ive been waiting for you to post forever. I love you so much. Please please please keep informing us love! You are a one of a kind
Please do an edit to tell people that they should always wash off the ordinary chemical peel. You shouldn't tell people they don't have to. It's a potent peel especially for beginners at acids. Someone could watch your video and leave it on and really harm their face!
Thanks Cassandra! Glad I found you. I'm binge watching all videos about The Ordinary (and others) and I'm now trying a new routine with the Retinoid, Buffet & Natural M. factors HA. I have been using for 5 days and I'm already noticing my skin changing. Thank you :) Will keep watching and updating or adding more products as I go.
