*GLYCOLIC TONER PSA!* when I did an updated video discussing what products to use in the a.m. and p.m., I did realize that the ordinary specifically states that once a day use (pm) is recommended for the glycolic acid toner. Just the way some drs prescribe retinoic acid for wrinkles etc., many products are often used off label. At the end of the day, it’s up to each person‘s skin and patch testing to determine what is safe and what is not. Having a long-standing history with acne scars, I find that my face can easily tolerate it twice daily - I’ve never felt a burn from the AHA BHA masque/peel either - that being said, for someone who is trying glycolic acid for the very first time, they may not be able to tolerate even one use. I really appreciate everyone bringing this up, and to my attention! If you are looking to tone in both the morning and the evening, it’s still something that I enjoy. I hope this helps and I hope you’re having a great day! 
I need help/advice from You. Which product would you choose for scars: The Buffet, Lactic acid 10% or Organic cold-pressed rose hip seed oil? In my shopping bag I have all other products that You named in this video, but I can not decide which from these 3 products to choose.
Pre cleanser Micellar gel cleanser Squalane cleanser Niacinamide 10% Cold Rosehip oil Plant derived squalane And centella sunscreen Are these okay to use together it was recommended for my combination skin ? :)and do I really need another moisturizer
Thanks for clearing this up! I am following one of the regimens recommended by The Ordinary (textural irregularities). They recommend the use of the toner AND the Granactive Retinoid 2% or 5% in Squalane for PM (theordinary.deciem.com/regimenguide). My question is: is there a fundamental difference between this granactive retinoid and the one you mention in this video ? I ask because you recommend using either the toner OR the retinoid, but not both products together. I've been following this regimen for about a year now and have definitely seen a lot of improvement, just want to make sure I'm doing it right. P.S. I love your channel and the content you provide. Definitely my favourite quarantine discovery
I contacted the ordinary with pictures and my skin concerns. They sent me a full am and pm routine well except for a cleanser and a sunscreen but I already had those. Everything together was $70 with the small sizes not the new larger sizes. I love your channel I just want people to know they have an option to talk to the ordinary.
So true! This will sound horrible but I’m 37 now and have NEVER used sunscreen in my life (except when I was a young child). I have recently started using it, as much as I hate it, but only on my face. I really need to start putting it on my body too 😕
I have a Biology and a Chemistry degree and I have been teaching at the College and High School level for over ten years. I love how informative and accurate your explanations are.
Do you review other affordable brands because The Ordinary doesn't work for everyone? You are very knowledgeable about ingredients and I would love information on other affordable brands.
The Inkey List, Revolution, Simple, Cereve, Aveeno and Neutrogena are probably your best bet. There aren't that many out there... Some K-beauty brands are quite affordable but I don't know much about them. Cosrx and Krave are the only ones I'm kinda that familiar with.
I’ve been using soonjung like from etude. The foam wash, toner, emulsion , and barrier repair cream. It works really well and is simple and my skin feels great after.
Hi Cassandra, The first time I watched your video on how to cover acne with makeup was when I started suffering from acne in 2012. I found your youtube channel again two months ago, I still had acne back then. Last month, I decided to analyse your videos and fully trust you to create my daily am/pm routine. I bought all products and after one week, I could see clear results : my skin now looks AMAZING. It's been one month, and I don't think I will ever change my routine. I write this long comment to say thank you. You helped me way more than any skin specialist I ever consulted over the last 9+ years. Here is the routine if someone is curious about it : (note: it does not include cleanser as I am using Aesop's Amazing face cleanser which I bought before) AM: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner Glossier Super Pure Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Zinc Serum The Ordinary Buffet The Ordinary SPF 30 + Antioxidants 100% Pure Mattifying Primer PM: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner The Ordinary Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 8 Alpha Arbutin 2 The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Between the recommendations by you and Skincare by Hyram, I am set for starting a new routine! I don't actually have one at all right now other than wash and moisturize, so I'm super excited to get my new products in the mail!
Same. I have ordered the Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask, the Ordinary 10% Niacinamide + Zinc 1% and the Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors. I hope they work well for my skin and I don’t get a bad reaction. 🤞🏻
I have used The Ordinary products for @ 18 months and love them all. My daughter has oily, closed comedom prone skin, I bought her a range of products and she is hooked too. I am in my 60's with extremely dry skin, these are the first products that seem to help the dryness, the aging and are affordable
I absolutely LOOOOVE your videos, WOW! I'm 27y/o and I recently started to see the consequences of not having a skincare routine. I had no clue how to start a routine but now I do thanks to you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Good lord. I have been binge watching your videos for about an hour or two while getting some chores done and I have learned more about skin in general and my skin in particular, than I did in years of talking to dermatologists and aestheticians. This comment dropped on this video now, cuz it's been the one my fiancee and soon (the day after tomorrow O.o) to be wife initially recommended to me, yesterday. But I could write dozens upon dozens of quite similar 😮-comments underneath every single one I've seen. My goodness... where have y'all been my whole life? Male socialisation is even worse than I could've imagined... 😂❤
Cassandra you should do some videos for all skin types recommending what products to use. For dry sensitive acne prone skin, oily acne prone skin. And so on I think people would love it and it would actually be very helpful for a lot of us. You should also talk about the products on correct format you use them which would also help us know what to use first and after.
I’m someone with very dry skin as I am a guy, I’ve been using that niacinamide, not to lighten dark spots but I find that it works better to soften and firm my skin. I doesn’t leave my skin tight, however it does ball up if put together with certain other products that I’ve used from the same line. I’d say you can go without their moisturizer, it’s great for the price but even then it’s not worth having to use a heavier moisturizer over it. I also don’t appreciate the satin matte finish. And I don’t wear makeup but if you use sunscreen I find that I have to double cleanse. I just don’t think that their squalene cleanser is strong enough to remove everything. I know that it works (tested it out different ways) but sometimes it feels like it absolutely did nothing but absorb into my skin. It’s also not hydrating for dry skin.
That is so weird. I have combo to dry skin and everytime I use the ordinary niacinamide my skin has a bad reaction to it. Everything is dry and my cheeks get flushed for a few days. I can solve the dryness by using a thicker moisturizer, but my cheeks still get red.
@Tina Yael Severinova M. damn, I struggle to convince myself that the flushing and the dryness is from the niacinamide too. It's just that everybody seems to have a life-changing results with it. I kind of tell myself that maybe it's something else that's doing that to my face and I find myself everyother week using it, only to find out it fucked up my face once again...
@Tina Yael Severinova M. Do you get those only with the ordinary niacinamide? Because I only have this problem with the ordinary's one, so it could be the same in your case. Try using other products with niacinamide in them, but at lower concentrations.
Cassanda is the only one who were able to convinced me to use The Ordinary products and she did not go wrong. It really works very well you just have to be patient coz for me it works a lil bit slow but it worked especially the niacinamide. Thank you very much Cassandra for all your hadrworks. You don’t how much you helped a lot of people. God bless you!
Thank you so much! I LOVE that I didn't have to watch a billion videos and take notes, you have it all simplified here. You are amazing, so down to earth and honest. Please keep doing what you're doing, you're making a huge difference in the world♥️
Hey Cassandra, I am 47, have combination skin with a little bit oily on my T-zone, this in my AM & PM routine: In the MORNING (5 steps, 5 products): 1. Hada Labo AHA BHA face wash 2. Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid 3. The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% 4. The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone (My skin can tolerate well, love it!) 5. Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA+++ In the Evening (5 steps, 5 products): 1. Hada Labo Ultimate Moisturizing Cleansing Oil 2. Hada Labo Gokujyun Ultimate Moisturizing Face Wash 3. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 4. The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 5. The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil Please correct me if my combination products is wrong. I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution but only once a week :D
Khadija Süßmann that’s nice. I recently ordered the vitamin c silicon suspension. She mentioned we can use it during the day but with proper spf which you do. How are the products helping your skin?
@@snigdhajaiswal7666 I've been using these products I mentioned above since 2018, almost 2 years, and my skin love it 😍 smooth, glowing, and I don't need extra primer to hide my pores lol..
Hello ladies😊 I just bought the squalane cleanser to wash off the little coconut oil i use to clean sunscreen and the little make up I use. Plus a retinol emulsion, buffet, the H.A b5, rose seed oil and the "pink" acid peel... for 50€!!! Cannot wait to try them and thank you once more, for saving us the hussle of spending ludicrous amounts of money on fancy stuff when less is more. ❤
@@viviangallego162 wait this is so cool wtf I'm thinking about studying pharmacy which has alot of chemistry, but I don't have a chemistry class in my a-level I have maths and physics Do you think I can still understand it if I do some chemistry courses? I don't know anythink about chemistry but I really like it (I know it sounds weird)
@@ragh9014 Hi, I'm not very knowledgable on how you would get your qualifications in the UK (I'm assuming that's where you're at) but I know that to get a chem degree you need a pretty specific set of courses so I would recommend you talk to someone at your university who knows how to help you! Chemistry does involve a lot of math and physics, but if you're looking to study pharmacy it's pretty involved and requires some rigorous courses. If you don't have a program that offers biochem or chem, I would suggest discussing your plans with someone because they know exactly how to help : )
@@viviangallego162 I'm from Germany and technically, you can get into a university with that field, but I don't know if I can understand anything in there you know😅😂
I love The ordinary! I use alot of their products and I'm very happy with them. The only thing I would love is if they could formulate a mineral SPF without comedogenic and fungal acne trigger ingredients. At least not so high up on the ingredient list. Perferably under the 1% line.
This kickstarted my obsession with The Ordinary.....I’m one step away from wearing a flower crown and dancing around an shrine of Ordinary products.....
This couch brought back so many memories lol I used to watch you all the time and just stumbled upon your channel again. Happy to see how much you’ve grown, you’ve always been so intelligent and sweet but even more so now.
Ok. I legit have to say. You are Stunning. Beauty, brains, sense of humor and love that you're one of us that truly try to spend our money with brands that correlate with our morals. I would love to see you review platinum skincare. Specifically the Retinoid Serum, the Stem cell serum and their tca peels😍 I can't find a single review on anything besides peels.
Thank you for this video!!!!!!! After watching this video, I have changed my skincare and after two weeks I saw such a difference! I was able to go out without having to conceal any blemishes. I haven’t been able to do so in years! For the morning, I use the envyuskin acne soap, the boissance dark spot corrector, and then the ordinary moisturizer (I limit the products during the day since I have oil and acne prone skin). In the evening, I use the envyuskin charcoal acne soap, the ordinary toner, the ordinary niaminacide and zinc serum, the boissance dark spot corrector, and then the ordinary moisturizer.
Thank God I saw this video! I've been needing this for forever and it answers all of my questions and confusions. Thank you so much Cassandra! Love you!
I don't wash my face in the morning. I use a hot washcloth and 'steam' then follow with a cold washcloth. Of course, I'm 65 years old so this wouldn't work 20 or more years ago when I had very oily skin. Love the toner and use it most nights. I use non-alcohol Thayer's witch hazel during the day. I love the Ordinary Buffet! I alternate daily with the pycnogenol 5%. I use Hyaluronic acid 2% + B5 over both. I use Australian Gold Mineral no-greasy 50 SPF tinted sunscreen. I dealt with malignant melanoma at 50 so I'm militant about protection! I'm a bodyboarder and this sunscreen is bar-none, the best ever even on my very fair skin, and love the tint. At night I use Retinol 1% every night with nothing over. I've read that the granactive is less effective so no longer purchase. I use the AHA 30% a couple times a week at night only. I do feel the sting but do not need gloves to apply. Using The Ordinary products have absolutely made a remarkable difference in my mature skin. My (11 month) younger sister had a full facelift because her skin was aging rapidly. They did a chemical peel and her skin now looks as smooth as mine. Note: I had cystic acne my entire life. Finally, when I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma at 49, I went dairy-free (I was already veg-20 years), and BOOM! No more acne! It took a few weeks to clear out my system but I've had no acne, none, for the past 16 years! I used to manually exfoliate and try so many different products that I'm sure I exacerbated my acne issues. But the only thing I changed at 49 was going dairy-free. I started using The Ordinary a couple years ago and my skin has finally balanced out. It's a great line. I hope Estee Lauder doesn't ruin this company. Thanks for your review!
Cassandra, I love your hair! Could you possibly do any hair routine/styling tips video someday? I'd love to know how you do your, especially since I have curly hair like yours and would love to know how you deal with it to make it look so gorgeous everytime. 😍💕
That peeling solution is GREAT and same time BRUTAL to my face 😅🤣 I mean, it tingles and than I see my face dead cells peel of throughout the whole week 😱 that is a strong and very effective peeling solution
I've just recently come across your channel and I wanted to thank you for all your advice! I absolutely love your videos on the ordinary because as a poor uni student i couldn't afford to have a good skincare routine. I've started using some of the ordinary products you've recommended (niacinamide) and its done wonders for my oily skin !! thank you so so much!
thank you thank you thank you. have been slowly transitioning to and rebuilding my daily routine with the ordinary products and have seen my aging skin improve (esp challenging after moving countries, experiencing different weather, pollution and stress levels) love your honesty and recommendations. could not be more grateful.
Thank you, Ms. Cassandra. Because of your informative videos, I have purchase a customized regimen from The Ordinary and am looking forward to the positive benefits from their products and your videos on how to use their products. You are an amazing, educated, and caring individual.... thank you so *much* for what you to do to help others with skin issues. Rock ON!
Love your energy and fun you put into the video! Anyway it would be great if you can make a full skincare routine for combination and acne prone with sensitive skin xx
What is your most recommended The Ordinary “Vitamin C”? I saw you do a video on the L Ascorbic Acid Powder as well, so I’m just wondering which you think is best to use? Thanks!
ordered all these products a week ago & my roder came in the mail earlier today. cant wait to apply the nightime routine. So so grateful to have stumbled across your channel and the realness you spew. Thanks babe!
Thank you for your in depth videos they are super helpful! I was just wondering if chemical peels can be combined with polypeptides such as “buffet” because the chemical peel could denaturate the proteins. Therefore I’ve always used them separately am and pm. Is there any point in doing so or are they really fine to layer?
I just made it to my 30s and I’ve been heavily investing into my skin for a year now. Thank you for showing me the way to good yet affordable skin care. Thank you for your easy explanation on the products, usage and skin reactions. I truly appreciate your knowledge and time.
I loved this information!! After turning and learning, I’ve thrown away a lot of useless products & have just brought this range of The Ordinary products. (however this routine in Australian dollars was much more expensive then $100, but I’m sure it’ll be totally worth it). Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge xo
1:03 I never thought about that!!! 😯😯😯 products from your hair can touch your face if you sleep with your hair down. I mean duh right? I just never thought about it. Thank you for your videos! ❤ I've been thinking about trying a new face routine - The Original 🤩
there are some great oils and hydrating products from the ordinary! although you may need something stronger than the natural moisturizing factors, i love their hyaluronic acid and i put it on my dry areas before i put on a moisturizer
Well I have both dry and sensitive skin, my eczema is so annoying🙄. It left dry scaly patches all over my face but I use the glycolic toner(after eczema healed) and it has been a miracle getting rid of dark patches. so then I purchased the niacinamide,buffet, and hyaluronic acid my moisture levels have improved tremendously!!! I only use toner at night with moisturizer.
You have taught me so much about the Ordinary!! Thank you!! I love that brand! Question.... can I use the Ordinary glycolic acid 7% toner with the Buffet at night?
I’m only two days in so I’m probably premature with my post, but I truly love how these products feel. I’m a stay at home mom who rarely puts on makeup, so the cleanser is great! Even on the days I put on a little bit of makeup, it washes it clean off! Fantastic. Also, I’ve never had acne until I become an adult, so it’s been interesting trying to find something that works with older skin, yet tackles acne without further drying my face out. I also hate moisturizers that leave your skin feeling oiling. I can honestly say this moisturizer is amazing. I truly feel like it simply hydrates my skin. It doesn’t feel oily, and it doesn’t feel caked. I absolutely love it. As far as the toner “Glycolic Acid” or the “retinoids” my adult acne isn’t that bad, so I’m a bit hesitant to use one of them every night. It’s really strong when it comes to exfoliating.
Thank you so much for the glycolic acid + retinoid tips! A lot of times we forget about the pH of the products and want to put all things at one go so that reminder is very useful.
Since I'm on quarantine, I've started to use The Ordinary products more often, and wear no make-up for weeks. Now I could say toner is wow, It 's really helps improve skin texture. Also i've started to use Buffet more often than Niacinamide, may be because of toning effect it works better now.
I really want to love TO but I just can’t, every single product I tried seemed off and not suited for my skin. I’m gonna stick to Paula’s Choice and Korean skincare - those do wonders for my skin.
Glycolic acid toner used to dry my skin like CRAZY, like sandpaper dry but I’ve recently started applying aloe Vera gel afterwards and now I’m seeing the full effect of it I need it now 👏🏼👏🏼
Considering how budget oriented The Ordinary is I’m surprised the squalane cleanser is $8 for only 1oz. Especially when you can get an 8oz CeraVe cleanser for $9 or a 13.5oz La Roche Posay cleanser for $15...
I don’t think skincare is that difficult to understand if you try, like anything else you can learn 💁♀️ but I do think the buffet and the niacinamide and zinc used one after the other are a nice mix, I use them together daily 😊 couldn’t imagine not using a moisturizer though! Beware though that the toner is very drying if you have dry skin! I can only use it a couple times a week. Also my suggestion for a great cleanser that lasts a long time and isn’t super expensive is the First Aid Beauty cleanser!
I wanna know your favorites when it comes to skincare like you said face wash and mask was not your fav . you are absuluty adorable and love how cheery you are 😘
One reason I think many people, myself included, are attracted to your channel is because of your transparency and...you aren’t afraid to call people/companies out. You have stated in previous videos that Amazon doubles the price on many products especially The Ordinary. You now share the links to your AMAZON shop for people to purchase them up from your channel... Many know that TH-camrs make a small profit when one purchase from these links directed to their personal Amazon shops. Not trying to knock someone’s hustle. I will shop from those links to show my support. I will price check first from the original site or others. You mention that the cleanser is $7! Yet you link your shop at more than double? You call out Tatcha and Youth to the People on their prices in this video. People should definitely be paying attention to this I their own sure, but they look to and trust channels like yours. You don’t always mention the prices Girl. Your Amazon Cassandra shop link: Squalene Cleanser 1.7oz $16.99/5oz $36.78 Sephora: Squalene Cleanser 1.7oz $7.99/ 5oz $19.90 Care to elaborate? Maybe a disclaimer for those that don’t know any better🤷🏽♀️
For toner I am using biore witch hazel. After that I have to use ponds moisturizer. But I have been thinking of ordering these, but with coronavirus I’m waiting for this to die down.
You can put order on their web-site, however shipping may takes longer than usual. Anyway, it takes about 2 month to deliver products to my bizarre country)
The Ordinary must love you. I've definitely bought all the products except the sunscreen ( wasn't available ) if it wasn't for you I would have never heard of this brand.
Even though they call it a ‘toner” which people tend to use daily, it’s still an exfoliating acid, so using it daily, and especially TWICE daily probably is not recommended. Right?
I love The Inkey List oil and water cleanser that is about £10 in the UK and a bottle lasts me 2 months using it morning and night. Wipe over skin, wash off. I don’t wear make-up, and my skin is combination - oily T-zone with ageing everywhere else!
I trust Cassandra the most with skin. I recently been getting into skincare by Hyrams videos. I noticed that what he says sometimes is really different from Cassandra. For instance, he loves youth to the people and highly highly reccommends the face wash. In the beginning of this video, you made a joke about that wash that they are overpricing to dry our skin out. I would love to see you react to a hyram reacting video. Like an inception of skincare videos lol.
I've seen quite a few TH-camrs that like the YTTP cleanser. Never heard of it being drying. It is pricy tho but like Hyram always says "if it works, ill pay for it!"
Actually if you watched more skincare videos you'll know that few things that Cassandra said in the video are totally wrong. Hyram, even if he's not an estethician or a dermatologist is very knowledgeable and he knows his shit.
You’re videos have SAVED my skin!!😍 I have one big question when it comes to The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution! All the products that I’ve tried with Salicylic acid break me out so I stick with benzoyl peroxide when it comes to skincare, but with the great reviews of their AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution I really want to try it! Do you think it might break me out?? Thank you for all the information and education that you share!💕
Sofia Garcia I have pretty sensitive skin and I found that as long as you patch test you should know if your skin is going to react or not. because before I try any acids or active on my face I always patch test it so I just patch test it behind my ears it on my neck so if I do break out is in places that aren’t as visible as my face
I have the same problem with my skin when I use anything with salicylic acid. I have been using neutrogena clear pore cleanser for years( it contains benzoyl peroxide). But I am interested in hearing the answer to this because I really need something different.
you guys may be perging from the BHA because it goes deep in the poors and push the gunk out so it could be just a short term breakout while your skin is getting rid of the stuff. But I am not a expert I am just really into skincare and do a lot of research . hope this helps 😉
Double cleansing at night and using a miceller gel cleanser in the morning would be a lot better. I know it's theoretically possible but I have zero idea why anyone would base their whole routine on the Ordinary. Believe it or not, there are products equal to or better than their's at roughly the same price point.
LeahofWoW At PM moisturise first and the use the oil. It works as an occlusive to seal the hydration in. If you put the moisturiser after the oil it won't penetrate into your skin because of the barrier that the oil has created. 🙂
I would also try to avoid using an oil after using hyaluronic acid. It's supposed to draw moisture to your skin, but if you're "sealing it in" with an oil it will draw moisture FROM your skin and it could dry you out even more.
Ever since quarantine started I don’t wear makeup anymore and I don’t wash my face in the morning either and my skin looks better than before it’s amazing . I’m going to try these ordinary products thx for the video 😊
Omg, no! most people will totally destroy their skin barrier using that glycolic acid even once a day never mind twice. That shouldn’t be used more than a few times a week. TO calls it a toner but it is not. It’s a strong glycolic exfoliating acid that should not be used daily. I think it’s important to remind people to start an active only once a week and evaluate your skin. Increase very slowly and never start more than one new product at a time or you won’t know what your skin is reacting with, either well or poorly.
L P recently I was making my order from TO and I was tempted to get also the toner, but I fortunately decided to listen to one of our local cosmetics guru who definitely advised to start slowly with acids, just once or twice in the week and for sure PM... I ended up buying Pixi Glow Toner 5% and I can tell it was a smart thing to do. My skin needs to get use to acids first. I like Cassandra but I don’t agree with the AM routine she presents here.
Yea, I worry about people going and buying this whole routine and destroying their skin barrier! Happens wayyy to often! Good luck with your routine! 😁
Monika Oravcová love cassandra but I agree it could be irritating to “most people” .. i have oily skin ( my friends having normal skin) at least for us Asians (or south east asians) we don’t really find it irritating, it could be very beneficial for us to exfoliate everyday (face and body) So i don’t disagree with her statement. It really all depends on your skin tolerance. I think most people from the West should really start low.
@@ZgtGirl absolutely! NIa is very drying and can be very irritating. The TO nia is rough for a lot of people due to the high percent and addition of zinc which bothers a lot of people. I would cut back to once a day max and just use a teeny but. I add one drop to my moisturizer about three times a week. More than that actually causes breakouts for me.
Wait! I have questions - 1. What is a neutraliser and which ones would you recommend after the chemical peel? 2. What if I use the peptide instead of the toner, where do I go with the routine then? Ps I love your videos and really hope you see this comment 😁
I can't express how amazing it is to be a vegan newbie on skin care and have you as a light in the end of the tunnel! Thank you for being on TH-cam 💚 also, could you make a video talking about The Body Shop? They're not totally vegan, but they do have options. Would you buy from them? I find their products really good for my skin (I have combination skin) and it isn't ridiculously expensive. I'd love to know your point of view about it! Love your channel 😘😘💚💚
Oh my, I actually bought everything on this video - except the sunscreen because they had ran out of it. Can you give us, men who have to shave our faces 3 to 4 times a week, some tips and tricks to prevent razor bumps? I've been working hard on my routine in order to prevent it but it's been a roller coaster ride. Love your videos!

Thanks for clearing this up! I am following one of the regimens recommended by The Ordinary (textural irregularities).

I am 55 and still find this guidance useful. I wish I had this information in my twenties!
"Sun block everyone!"
You look amazing
So true! This will sound horrible but I’m 37 now and have NEVER used sunscreen in my life (except when I was a young child). I have recently started using it, as much as I hate it, but only on my face. I really need to start putting it on my body too 😕
Omg no way you’re 55!
What u doing later princess
I have a Biology and a Chemistry degree and I have been teaching at the College and High School level for over ten years. I love how informative and accurate your explanations are.
I’m seriously slowly transitioning into a full The Ordinary skincare regime because of her haha
Same 🤣
Don't buy the spf unless you want to be purple
Moose 😂😂😂
@@moose8762 so it leaves a purple tint, or your skin reacts badly?
@@minervasowl7658 it leaves a purple cast
The Ordinary is all that I will ever need for the rest of my entire life!
Talk about skin life completely changed!!
Do you review other affordable brands because The Ordinary doesn't work for everyone? You are very knowledgeable about ingredients and I would love information on other affordable brands.
Tyresse Ferguson the inkey list would be awesome:)
The Inkey List, Revolution, Simple, Cereve, Aveeno and Neutrogena are probably your best bet. There aren't that many out there...
Some K-beauty brands are quite affordable but I don't know much about them. Cosrx and Krave are the only ones I'm kinda that familiar with.
Skippy Purito is a K-Beauty brand that I’ve heard was good too!
I’ve been using soonjung like from etude. The foam wash, toner, emulsion , and barrier repair cream. It works really well and is simple and my skin feels great after.
Is this video sponsored?
Could you do a video on body skin care ? Everyone keeps focusing on the face 🤷🏼♀️
40 dollars on a basic cleanser that is gonna dry out our skin.... Looooooved this!
Hi Cassandra,
The first time I watched your video on how to cover acne with makeup was when I started suffering from acne in 2012.
I found your youtube channel again two months ago, I still had acne back then.
Last month, I decided to analyse your videos and fully trust you to create my daily am/pm routine.
I bought all products and after one week, I could see clear results : my skin now looks AMAZING. It's been one month, and I don't think I will ever change my routine.
I write this long comment to say thank you. You helped me way more than any skin specialist I ever consulted over the last 9+ years.
Here is the routine if someone is curious about it :
(note: it does not include cleanser as I am using Aesop's Amazing face cleanser which I bought before)
AM:
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner
Glossier Super Pure Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Zinc Serum
The Ordinary Buffet
The Ordinary SPF 30 + Antioxidants
100% Pure Mattifying Primer
PM:
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner
The Ordinary Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 8 Alpha Arbutin 2
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
When did you hit 1 mill? Congratulations girl. You deserve it and its so refreshing to see someone down to earth have a large following ♡
SUGGESTION: would love to see an inkey list review :)
yesss pls
YES PLZ
Yes please!!!
Yeah
Your skin is Soo gooood
Wow! I spent weeks trying to figure out how to create a Ordinary routine. And I finally found it! Thank you so much for this!
Between the recommendations by you and Skincare by Hyram, I am set for starting a new routine! I don't actually have one at all right now other than wash and moisturize, so I'm super excited to get my new products in the mail!
Same. I have ordered the Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask, the Ordinary 10% Niacinamide + Zinc 1% and the Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors. I hope they work well for my skin and I don’t get a bad reaction. 🤞🏻
Anna Same did they work for u??
The cleanser is awesome as a second cleanser. It feels like pure comfort on my face.
love how she being so detailed when it comes to how to use the product together
This was flat out excellent. The explanations were thorough and considerate of a ton of different factors!
I ordered the glycolic toner, the buffet, and the niacinamide + zinc the other day! Can't wait to get them 😊 Cass is so helpful, love her!
I have used The Ordinary products for @ 18 months and love them all. My daughter has oily, closed comedom prone skin, I bought her a range of products and she is hooked too. I am in my 60's with extremely dry skin, these are the first products that seem to help the dryness, the aging and are affordable
I absolutely LOOOOVE your videos, WOW! I'm 27y/o and I recently started to see the consequences of not having a skincare routine. I had no clue how to start a routine but now I do thanks to you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Good lord. I have been binge watching your videos for about an hour or two while getting some chores done and I have learned more about skin in general and my skin in particular, than I did in years of talking to dermatologists and aestheticians. This comment dropped on this video now, cuz it's been the one my fiancee and soon (the day after tomorrow O.o) to be wife initially recommended to me, yesterday. But I could write dozens upon dozens of quite similar 😮-comments underneath every single one I've seen. My goodness... where have y'all been my whole life? Male socialisation is even worse than I could've imagined... 😂❤
This is exactly the video I've been hoping you'd make. Thank you!
Cassandra you should do some videos for all skin types recommending what products to use. For dry sensitive acne prone skin, oily acne prone skin. And so on I think people would love it and it would actually be very helpful for a lot of us. You should also talk about the products on correct format you use them which would also help us know what to use first and after.
I’m someone with very dry skin as I am a guy, I’ve been using that niacinamide, not to lighten dark spots but I find that it works better to soften and firm my skin. I doesn’t leave my skin tight, however it does ball up if put together with certain other products that I’ve used from the same line. I’d say you can go without their moisturizer, it’s great for the price but even then it’s not worth having to use a heavier moisturizer over it. I also don’t appreciate the satin matte finish. And I don’t wear makeup but if you use sunscreen I find that I have to double cleanse. I just don’t think that their squalene cleanser is strong enough to remove everything. I know that it works (tested it out different ways) but sometimes it feels like it absolutely did nothing but absorb into my skin. It’s also not hydrating for dry skin.
William Saavedra Im with you on the cleanser, i like it but I could go without and don’t reach for it over my other cleansers most days
That is so weird. I have combo to dry skin and everytime I use the ordinary niacinamide my skin has a bad reaction to it. Everything is dry and my cheeks get flushed for a few days. I can solve the dryness by using a thicker moisturizer, but my cheeks still get red.
@Tina Yael Severinova M. damn, I struggle to convince myself that the flushing and the dryness is from the niacinamide too. It's just that everybody seems to have a life-changing results with it. I kind of tell myself that maybe it's something else that's doing that to my face and I find myself everyother week using it, only to find out it fucked up my face once again...
@Tina Yael Severinova M. Do you get those only with the ordinary niacinamide? Because I only have this problem with the ordinary's one, so it could be the same in your case. Try using other products with niacinamide in them, but at lower concentrations.
William Saavedra The inkey list have a double cleanser that may help. I’ve not used if myself but, at least it’s reasonably priced if it doesn’t
Cassanda is the only one who were able to convinced me to use The Ordinary products and she did not go wrong. It really works very well you just have to be patient coz for me it works a lil bit slow but it worked especially the niacinamide.
Thank you very much Cassandra for all your hadrworks. You don’t how much you helped a lot of people.
God bless you!
Thank you so much! I LOVE that I didn't have to watch a billion videos and take notes, you have it all simplified here. You are amazing, so down to earth and honest. Please keep doing what you're doing, you're making a huge difference in the world♥️
Hey Cassandra, I am 47, have combination skin with a little bit oily on my T-zone, this in my AM & PM routine:
In the MORNING (5 steps, 5 products):
1. Hada Labo AHA BHA face wash
2. Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid
3. The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%
4. The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone (My skin can tolerate well, love it!)
5. Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA+++
In the Evening (5 steps, 5 products):
1. Hada Labo Ultimate Moisturizing Cleansing Oil
2. Hada Labo
Gokujyun Ultimate Moisturizing Face Wash
3. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
4. The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
5. The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Please correct me if my combination products is wrong. I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution but only once a week :D
Almost the same items with me, with the same skin type 👍👍
Khadija Süßmann that’s nice. I recently ordered the vitamin c silicon suspension. She mentioned we can use it during the day but with proper spf which you do. How are the products helping your skin?
@@snigdhajaiswal7666 I've been using these products I mentioned above since 2018, almost 2 years, and my skin love it 😍 smooth, glowing, and I don't need extra primer to hide my pores lol..
Since you mentioned how expensive Sephora is - Would you be down to review the Inkey list? Love your content btw!
Hello ladies😊
I just bought the squalane cleanser to wash off the little coconut oil i use to clean sunscreen and the little make up I use.
Plus a retinol emulsion, buffet, the H.A b5, rose seed oil and the "pink" acid peel... for 50€!!!
Cannot wait to try them and thank you once more, for saving us the hussle of spending ludicrous amounts of money on fancy stuff when less is more.

You’ve basically inspired me to switch my major to chemistry and possibly become a cosmetic chemist
Did you do it??
@@ragh9014 lol yes im now a chem major, havent regretted it
@@viviangallego162 wait this is so cool wtf
I'm thinking about studying pharmacy which has alot of chemistry, but I don't have a chemistry class in my a-level
I have maths and physics
Do you think I can still understand it if I do some chemistry courses?
I don't know anythink about chemistry but I really like it (I know it sounds weird)
@@ragh9014 Hi, I'm not very knowledgable on how you would get your qualifications in the UK (I'm assuming that's where you're at) but I know that to get a chem degree you need a pretty specific set of courses so I would recommend you talk to someone at your university who knows how to help you! Chemistry does involve a lot of math and physics, but if you're looking to study pharmacy it's pretty involved and requires some rigorous courses. If you don't have a program that offers biochem or chem, I would suggest discussing your plans with someone because they know exactly how to help : )
@@viviangallego162 I'm from Germany and technically, you can get into a university with that field, but I don't know if I can understand anything in there you know😅😂
Honestly you should seriously hold lectures because you are so good at teaching people and explaining yourself so that everyone can keep up.
I love The ordinary! I use alot of their products and I'm very happy with them. The only thing I would love is if they could formulate a mineral SPF without comedogenic and fungal acne trigger ingredients. At least not so high up on the ingredient list. Perferably under the 1% line.
Which ingredients trigger fungal acne?? I think i might have fungal acne, I'm still just learning about it
What is fungal acne
I literally love this girl. I dont even know you and you jus saved my skin care life.
This kickstarted my obsession with The Ordinary.....I’m one step away from wearing a flower crown and dancing around an shrine of Ordinary products.....
The cult of the ordinary
This couch brought back so many memories lol I used to watch you all the time and just stumbled upon your channel again. Happy to see how much you’ve grown, you’ve always been so intelligent and sweet but even more so now.
I have been binge watching your skincare routines for the past 3 days (especially The Ordinary) and this video is EXACTLY what I needed! THANK YOU
Ok. I legit have to say. You are Stunning. Beauty, brains, sense of humor and love that you're one of us that truly try to spend our money with brands that correlate with our morals.
I would love to see you review platinum skincare. Specifically the Retinoid Serum, the Stem cell serum and their tca peels😍 I can't find a single review on anything besides peels.
This color palette is ssooo aesthetically pleasing!! The yellow with the purple florals mixes ssooo well!! And You are glowing!!💘✨💖💓🥰
مرحبا 😷😷😷
Thank you for this video!!!!!!! After watching this video, I have changed my skincare and after two weeks I saw such a difference! I was able to go out without having to conceal any blemishes. I haven’t been able to do so in years!
For the morning, I use the envyuskin acne soap, the boissance dark spot corrector, and then the ordinary moisturizer (I limit the products during the day since I have oil and acne prone skin). In the evening, I use the envyuskin charcoal acne soap, the ordinary toner, the ordinary niaminacide and zinc serum, the boissance dark spot corrector, and then the ordinary moisturizer.
Thank God I saw this video! I've been needing this for forever and it answers all of my questions and confusions. Thank you so much Cassandra! Love you!
I don't wash my face in the morning. I use a hot washcloth and 'steam' then follow with a cold washcloth. Of course, I'm 65 years old so this wouldn't work 20 or more years ago when I had very oily skin. Love the toner and use it most nights. I use non-alcohol Thayer's witch hazel during the day. I love the Ordinary Buffet! I alternate daily with the pycnogenol 5%. I use Hyaluronic acid 2% + B5 over both. I use Australian Gold Mineral no-greasy 50 SPF tinted sunscreen. I dealt with malignant melanoma at 50 so I'm militant about protection! I'm a bodyboarder and this sunscreen is bar-none, the best ever even on my very fair skin, and love the tint. At night I use Retinol 1% every night with nothing over. I've read that the granactive is less effective so no longer purchase. I use the AHA 30% a couple times a week at night only. I do feel the sting but do not need gloves to apply. Using The Ordinary products have absolutely made a remarkable difference in my mature skin. My (11 month) younger sister had a full facelift because her skin was aging rapidly. They did a chemical peel and her skin now looks as smooth as mine. Note: I had cystic acne my entire life. Finally, when I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma at 49, I went dairy-free (I was already veg-20 years), and BOOM! No more acne! It took a few weeks to clear out my system but I've had no acne, none, for the past 16 years! I used to manually exfoliate and try so many different products that I'm sure I exacerbated my acne issues. But the only thing I changed at 49 was going dairy-free. I started using The Ordinary a couple years ago and my skin has finally balanced out. It's a great line. I hope Estee Lauder doesn't ruin this company. Thanks for your review!
Cassandra, I love your hair! Could you possibly do any hair routine/styling tips video someday? I'd love to know how you do your, especially since I have curly hair like yours and would love to know how you deal with it to make it look so gorgeous everytime. 😍💕
That peeling solution is GREAT and same time BRUTAL to my face 😅🤣 I mean, it tingles and than I see my face dead cells peel of throughout the whole week 😱 that is a strong and very effective peeling solution
You're my holy Grail for anything skincare thank you!
I've just recently come across your channel and I wanted to thank you for all your advice! I absolutely love your videos on the ordinary because as a poor uni student i couldn't afford to have a good skincare routine. I've started using some of the ordinary products you've recommended (niacinamide) and its done wonders for my oily skin !! thank you so so much!
I feel like Joey Tribuani from Friends.. I’m so confused! 😩
Joanne Smith same
thank you thank you thank you. have been slowly transitioning to and rebuilding my daily routine with the ordinary products and have seen my aging skin improve (esp challenging after moving countries, experiencing different weather, pollution and stress levels)
love your honesty and recommendations. could not be more grateful.
Thank you, Ms. Cassandra. Because of your informative videos, I have purchase a customized regimen from The Ordinary and am looking forward to the positive benefits from their products and your videos on how to use their products. You are an amazing, educated, and caring individual.... thank you so *much* for what you to do to help others with skin issues. Rock ON!
Currently binging her content, so good
Same here!!
Laura DeJongh me toooooo
The peptides serum is really good, price vs quality is one of the best products on the market.
Love your energy and fun you put into the video! Anyway it would be great if you can make a full skincare routine for combination and acne prone with sensitive skin xx
just spent £44 on the ordinary thanks to this video, thanks for explaining everything!
What is your most recommended The Ordinary “Vitamin C”? I saw you do a video on the L Ascorbic Acid Powder as well, so I’m just wondering which you think is best to use? Thanks!
ordered all these products a week ago & my roder came in the mail earlier today. cant wait to apply the nightime routine. So so grateful to have stumbled across your channel and the realness you spew. Thanks babe!
Thank you for your in depth videos they are super helpful! I was just wondering if chemical peels can be combined with polypeptides such as “buffet” because the chemical peel could denaturate the proteins. Therefore I’ve always used them separately am and pm. Is there any point in doing so or are they really fine to layer?
I just made it to my 30s and I’ve been heavily investing into my skin for a year now.
Thank you for showing me the way to good yet affordable skin care. Thank you for your easy explanation on the products, usage and skin reactions. I truly appreciate your knowledge and time.
I loved this information!!
After turning and learning, I’ve thrown away a lot of useless products & have just brought this range of The Ordinary products. (however this routine in Australian dollars was much more expensive then $100, but I’m sure it’ll be totally worth it).
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge xo
1:03 I never thought about that!!! 😯😯😯 products from your hair can touch your face if you sleep with your hair down. I mean duh right? I just never thought about it. Thank you for your videos! ❤ I've been thinking about trying a new face routine - The Original 🤩
Thank you sooooo much!!! I just entered my 30s and skincare is a must for me. This has been so informative!
I love The Ordinary but this specific routine would absolutely MURDER my dry sensitive skin. Definitely for an oily skin type with no sensitivity.
I felt this! Need something for dry and sensitive skin asap
Email them requesting a routine for your specific skin, you can also upload pictures.
there are some great oils and hydrating products from the ordinary! although you may need something stronger than the natural moisturizing factors, i love their hyaluronic acid and i put it on my dry areas before i put on a moisturizer
Just go for niacinamide.
Well I have both dry and sensitive skin, my eczema is so annoying🙄. It left dry scaly patches all over my face but I use the glycolic toner(after eczema healed) and it has been a miracle getting rid of dark patches. so then I purchased the niacinamide,buffet, and hyaluronic acid my moisture levels have improved tremendously!!! I only use toner at night with moisturizer.
Your sense of humor is the best! I always find myself laughingvoutloud watching ur videos! Love u xx
Thank you so much for your informative yet fun videos ! I've learned so much about skincare 😍 and what to use or not to use 💪🏻
The day you put this video up i ordered all the products you posted here and i just got them today. I started using the ordinary tonight ❤️
Do you have recommendations for cleansers? You mention you like other brands much more but haven't seen any videos on it.
Seriously my fav youtube channel
You have taught me so much about the Ordinary!! Thank you!!
I love that brand!
Question.... can I use the Ordinary glycolic acid 7% toner with the Buffet at night?
I’m only two days in so I’m probably premature with my post, but I truly love how these products feel. I’m a stay at home mom who rarely puts on makeup, so the cleanser is great! Even on the days I put on a little bit of makeup, it washes it clean off! Fantastic. Also, I’ve never had acne until I become an adult, so it’s been interesting trying to find something that works with older skin, yet tackles acne without further drying my face out. I also hate moisturizers that leave your skin feeling oiling. I can honestly say this moisturizer is amazing. I truly feel like it simply hydrates my skin. It doesn’t feel oily, and it doesn’t feel caked. I absolutely love it. As far as the toner “Glycolic Acid” or the “retinoids” my adult acne isn’t that bad, so I’m a bit hesitant to use one of them every night. It’s really strong when it comes to exfoliating.
Thank you so much! Finally I can put my own skin-care-routine together :)
Thank you so much for the glycolic acid + retinoid tips! A lot of times we forget about the pH of the products and want to put all things at one go so that reminder is very useful.
I was wondering what acid neutraliser you would recommend using with the ordinary chemical peel product?
Since I'm on quarantine, I've started to use The Ordinary products more often, and wear no make-up for weeks. Now I could say toner is wow, It 's really helps improve skin texture. Also i've started to use Buffet more often than Niacinamide, may be because of toning effect it works better now.
I really want to love TO but I just can’t, every single product I tried seemed off and not suited for my skin. I’m gonna stick to Paula’s Choice and Korean skincare - those do wonders for my skin.
flor it’s ok not everything works for everyone.but i agree on korean skincare their stuff is amazing!
Nobody cares
@@unpopped looks like you cared enough to reply sis
Glycolic acid toner used to dry my skin like CRAZY, like sandpaper dry but I’ve recently started applying aloe Vera gel afterwards and now I’m seeing the full effect of it I need it now 👏🏼👏🏼
You are a saint! Thank you for this, hope you are well and safe ❤️
you make me want to study the science behind alllllllll skin care and the human skin! so inspired
Considering how budget oriented The Ordinary is I’m surprised the squalane cleanser is $8 for only 1oz. Especially when you can get an 8oz CeraVe cleanser for $9 or a 13.5oz La Roche Posay cleanser for $15...
I don’t think skincare is that difficult to understand if you try, like anything else you can learn 💁♀️ but I do think the buffet and the niacinamide and zinc used one after the other are a nice mix, I use them together daily 😊 couldn’t imagine not using a moisturizer though! Beware though that the toner is very drying if you have dry skin! I can only use it a couple times a week. Also my suggestion for a great cleanser that lasts a long time and isn’t super expensive is the First Aid Beauty cleanser!
I wanna know your favorites when it comes to skincare like you said face wash and mask was not your fav . you are absuluty adorable and love how cheery you are 😘
One reason I think many people, myself included, are attracted to your channel is because of your transparency and...you aren’t afraid to call people/companies out. You have stated in previous videos that Amazon doubles the price on many products especially The Ordinary.
You now share the links to your AMAZON shop for people to purchase them up from your channel...
Many know that TH-camrs make a small profit when one purchase from these links directed to their personal Amazon shops. Not trying to knock someone’s hustle. I will shop from those links to show my support. I will price check first from the original site or others.
You mention that the cleanser is $7! Yet you link your shop at more than double?
You call out Tatcha and Youth to the People on their prices in this video.
People should definitely be paying attention to this I their own sure, but they look to and trust channels like yours. You don’t always mention the prices
Girl.
Your Amazon Cassandra shop link: Squalene Cleanser 1.7oz $16.99/5oz $36.78
Sephora: Squalene Cleanser 1.7oz $7.99/ 5oz $19.90
Care to elaborate?
Maybe a disclaimer for those that don’t know any better🤷🏽♀️
For toner I am using biore witch hazel. After that I have to use ponds moisturizer. But I have been thinking of ordering these, but with coronavirus I’m waiting for this to die down.
@Macie Frambach i think that glycolic acid toner must not be used with active ingredients such as niacinamide
They say on the website don't use strong acids together. So i can not use glycolic acid with the peeling solution in my skincare routine?
@Macie Frambach oh that is great thank you very much.
Definitely drop the witch hazel - doing that saved my skin
You can put order on their web-site, however shipping may takes longer than usual. Anyway, it takes about 2 month to deliver products to my bizarre country)
Just started my full the ordinary skincare and thank you for your videos . My skin is at its best right now
I’m obsessed with The Ordinary thanks to you😂
The Ordinary must love you. I've definitely bought all the products except the sunscreen ( wasn't available ) if it wasn't for you I would have never heard of this brand.
Even though they call it a ‘toner” which people tend to use daily, it’s still an exfoliating acid, so using it daily, and especially TWICE daily probably is not recommended. Right?
megan it’s best to use at night time, so you don’t have to apply it twice a day, and yes. Don’t use it every night
I love The Inkey List oil and water cleanser that is about £10 in the UK and a bottle lasts me 2 months using it morning and night. Wipe over skin, wash off. I don’t wear make-up, and my skin is combination - oily T-zone with ageing everywhere else!
I trust Cassandra the most with skin. I recently been getting into skincare by Hyrams videos. I noticed that what he says sometimes is really different from Cassandra. For instance, he loves youth to the people and highly highly reccommends the face wash. In the beginning of this video, you made a joke about that wash that they are overpricing to dry our skin out. I would love to see you react to a hyram reacting video. Like an inception of skincare videos lol.
I've seen quite a few TH-camrs that like the YTTP cleanser. Never heard of it being drying. It is pricy tho but like Hyram always says "if it works, ill pay for it!"
Actually if you watched more skincare videos you'll know that few things that Cassandra said in the video are totally wrong. Hyram, even if he's not an estethician or a dermatologist is very knowledgeable and he knows his shit.
@@MsAnniie9 🙌🏾 Yasss! ♥️ Hyram!
Hyram is an influencer. Cassandra is a licensed esthetician.
I’ve been using the ordinary for the past few months and love it! ❤ Thanks for making this, and talking about possible interactions 😊
You’re videos have SAVED my skin!!😍 I have one big question when it comes to The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution! All the products that I’ve tried with Salicylic acid break me out so I stick with benzoyl peroxide when it comes to skincare, but with the great reviews of their AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution I really want to try it! Do you think it might break me out??
Thank you for all the information and education that you share!💕
Sofia Garcia I have pretty sensitive skin and I found that as long as you patch test you should know if your skin is going to react or not. because before I try any acids or active on my face I always patch test it so I just patch test it behind my ears it on my neck so if I do break out is in places that aren’t as visible as my face
Theo4evers :OD thank you!! I saw her video on patch testing and will definitely be testing it on both my arm and behind my ear before my face!
I have the same problem with my skin when I use anything with salicylic acid. I have been using neutrogena clear pore cleanser for years( it contains benzoyl peroxide). But I am interested in hearing the answer to this because I really need something different.
you guys may be perging from the BHA because it goes deep in the poors and push the gunk out so it could be just a short term breakout while your skin is getting rid of the stuff. But I am not a expert I am just really into skincare and do a lot of research . hope this helps 😉
Heather sargent I thought the same until I had a professional treat my skin and she found out that’s why I could never clears my acne!
I was so confused about what to buy by The Ordinary, but now I have cleared my mind!!! Thank you! ❤
Morning I use;
Squalane Cleanser
Caffeine Solution 5%
"Buffet"
Hyaluronic Acid
Resvervatrol + Ferulic
Moisturise
Sunscreen
Night;
Squalane Cleanser
Caffeine Solution 5%
"Buffet"
Hyaluronic
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Moisturise
Any feedback or tips or anything that's wrong please let me know!
Double cleansing at night and using a miceller gel cleanser in the morning would be a lot better.
I know it's theoretically possible but I have zero idea why anyone would base their whole routine on the Ordinary. Believe it or not, there are products equal to or better than their's at roughly the same price point.
LeahofWoW At PM moisturise first and the use the oil. It works as an occlusive to seal the hydration in. If you put the moisturiser after the oil it won't penetrate into your skin because of the barrier that the oil has created. 🙂
Skippy what products would you suggest that are price comparable? I’m looking to change it up.
I love the caffeine solution!
I would also try to avoid using an oil after using hyaluronic acid. It's supposed to draw moisture to your skin, but if you're "sealing it in" with an oil it will draw moisture FROM your skin and it could dry you out even more.
Ever since quarantine started I don’t wear makeup anymore and I don’t wash my face in the morning either and my skin looks better than before it’s amazing . I’m going to try these ordinary products thx for the video 😊
Omg, no! most people will totally destroy their skin barrier using that glycolic acid even once a day never mind twice. That shouldn’t be used more than a few times a week. TO calls it a toner but it is not. It’s a strong glycolic exfoliating acid that should not be used daily. I think it’s important to remind people to start an active only once a week and evaluate your skin. Increase very slowly and never start more than one new product at a time or you won’t know what your skin is reacting with, either well or poorly.
L P recently I was making my order from TO and I was tempted to get also the toner, but I fortunately decided to listen to one of our local cosmetics guru who definitely advised to start slowly with acids, just once or twice in the week and for sure PM... I ended up buying Pixi Glow Toner 5% and I can tell it was a smart thing to do. My skin needs to get use to acids first. I like Cassandra but I don’t agree with the AM routine she presents here.
Yea, I worry about people going and buying this whole routine and destroying their skin barrier! Happens wayyy to often! Good luck with your routine! 😁
Monika Oravcová love cassandra but I agree it could be irritating to “most people” .. i have oily skin ( my friends having normal skin) at least for us Asians (or south east asians) we don’t really find it irritating, it could be very beneficial for us to exfoliate everyday (face and body) So i don’t disagree with her statement. It really all depends on your skin tolerance. I think most people from the West should really start low.
Does this apply to TO niacinamide also? I use it 2 times for l4 days. I have redness drynes breakouts... i have oily skin.
@@ZgtGirl absolutely! NIa is very drying and can be very irritating. The TO nia is rough for a lot of people due to the high percent and addition of zinc which bothers a lot of people. I would cut back to once a day max and just use a teeny but. I add one drop to my moisturizer about three times a week. More than that actually causes breakouts for me.
I have dry skin but I love the niacinamide serum. I've used up 2 bottles and it improved my skin texture A LOT, as well as my pores! Love it so much
I was looking for a review like this! Did you use the niacinamide in the mornings only? Also, do I use niacinamide before Hyaluronic acid or after?
Wait! I have questions -
1. What is a neutraliser and which ones would you recommend after the chemical peel?
2. What if I use the peptide instead of the toner, where do I go with the routine then?
Ps I love your videos and really hope you see this comment 😁
I can't express how amazing it is to be a vegan newbie on skin care and have you as a light in the end of the tunnel! Thank you for being on TH-cam 💚 also, could you make a video talking about The Body Shop? They're not totally vegan, but they do have options. Would you buy from them? I find their products really good for my skin (I have combination skin) and it isn't ridiculously expensive. I'd love to know your point of view about it! Love your channel 😘😘💚💚
Vitamin C and retinoid together at night = No!
Glycolic acid at that strength twice daily? = No!
Otherwise great review!
Guli's world would vitamin C in the morning and retinoid at night work?
Alyssa yes most definitely 👍🏼
Guli's world thank you :) I have some vitamin C oil already so that saves another purchase lol
She said to only use the vitamin c on nights you haven't used the retinoid though.....
vitamine c in the morning is not wise for black skin peope
I have been using many L'Oreal and Elf products but now am using more of The Ordinary ones .
Hyram or her

Omggg I'm going insane

Oh my, I actually bought everything on this video - except the sunscreen because they had ran out of it. Can you give us, men who have to shave our faces 3 to 4 times a week, some tips and tricks to prevent razor bumps? I've been working hard on my routine in order to prevent it but it's been a roller coaster ride. Love your videos!
Just ordered everything on here even tho I know nothing about skincare & have never used any skincare products other than face wash oops
How did it go?
