💯💯💯 I don’t care about packaging unless it makes the product heard to dispense. ELF’s vitamin C serum has the worst packaging. Barely any product goes into the dropper. I choose the Ordinary any day over that crappy packaging!
Agreed. However, I DO wish the boxes of Ordinary products used a larger font for the product name. It would be nice if your eye was more readily drawn to that, and it was a little easier to read without burying your face in the shelf.
The Ordinary is having a 23% sale. I am an esthetics student, almost 60 years old, and had never even had a facial done by anyone but myself. I get compliments on my skin every time we do skin analysis and the woods lamp. SPF and moisturizer are the best things I use for my skin. I also use Argeriline from The Ordinary. Live their products and price point. Thank you for this recommendation ❤
I totally agree with all you said. I do love the simple, easy to use, functionality of their packaging. Find I can put this into my routine very easily and makes my skin feel calm. The pink fades really quickly!!
Hey Docs… since both of you rock facial hair to some degree, can you do a skin care video for men who have beard / facial hair? do’s and don’ts… popular roller microneedling with facial hair? Beard oils,shampoos? How do we care for our skin and beards simultaneously.
I picked it up during a vacation trip when it was first launched because I forgot my prescription ceramide cream at home for my perioral dermatitis. I found it very soothing and comforting. Interestingly, my stubborn perioral dermatitis that bothered me for 4-5 years has mostly gone away after about 4 weeks of use!!! I am not sure if it’s a result of a less stressful psychological state, or if it’s all from this product. Just thought I should share my experience out there for people who are hopeless with their skin sensitivity. It’s definitely worth a try with this price point 😊
I am surprised how much i like this. I don't think the pink really stays pink very long because i use it immediately before bed and sleep with a white pillowcase and no pink stains it
$13?! In Canada it’s $25.80. I know our stuff is usually more expensive but that’s a lot lol. The majority of their products here are usually $10-$15. It is a lovely serum though and way cheaper than what you’d pay even for a lot of the drugstore face products. The new Oil of Olay super serum is $56 which is outrageous.
WAIT GUYS... The b12 is supposed to have a function. Dr dray says its supposed to reduce itch/irritation. Its not just in there for the color theres a function too
This serum burned my skin. Not for me apparently. I have very sensitive skin with broken capillaries. But the pinky skin after using it was ok for me. The problem was the burning sensation. Not for everyone I guess.
The packaging is not using extensive dyes and inks in the labels and packaging, is not using excessive plastics but is using glass, that is the easiest to recycle. That is a 10 in my book.
I tried it. It wasn’t great. I have dry eczema prone skin. It made my skin dry no matter what moisturizer I used with it. So I stopped using it. Then decided to try again because maybe it wasn’t the serum but something else that made my skin dry. TBH I was using a new moisturizer at the same time I started the serum. Same thing though. Just dry skin and didn’t do much for my skin barrier, redness, etc. I’m willing to give it a third try before I throw it away.
I was sold until you said niacinamide. It's so frustrating that skincare without high amounts of niacinamide and/or hyaluronic acid basically doesn't exist. I wish companies would offer products that don't use them or use low percentages for people who can't tolerate them.
My exact same thought! Sounds great until you see it contains niacinamide. Where are the soothing products that don't contain niacinamide for people who's skin does not find niacinamide to be soothing??
@@DavidCruickshank Purito Dermide moisturizer doesn't contain niacinamide and has ceramides. A few korean products doesn't and contain centella (I only have the centella water in mind from Skin1004) . La Roche Posay Cicaplast and Avene Cicalfate creams but they are thick.... La Roche Posay Dermallelgo moisturizer would be a good pick and I think some Avene moisturizers as well.Good luck exploring those !
Their chemists said that the colour was an accident... they were all surprised by it, but they liked it and decided to keep it. Also, It costs 26$ in Canada. 😢
I like it. I don't use it all the time, I find it a little bit stingy in comparison to other barrier support serums but it's a decent product. Like most of the ordinary products, it's decent, inexpensive and does what it should do. I think I'm the only person that would find it stingy though
I find it a little bit stingy, too, and I think that's the niacinamide in it. I can be sensitive to products with a high concentration of niacinamide, and so I was glad that at first, I didn't notice any irritation with this, but after using it every day for a few weeks, it started to sting more, so I take a few days break from it now and then, before going back to using it.
@@nyamoonshadow3259 I think it might be the niacinamide for me as well, I can't use the ordinary's niacinamide because it stings like a bitch but I don't have the same problem with other niacinamide serums or products containing it, they are fine but the ordinary stings for some reason. I am the same, I use the barrier serum every couple of days.
What I want to know is, is this a good post-procedure product? Can I use it after microneedling for example? As it’s a barrier support product I wouldn’t use it everyday because I don’t think it’s necessary for me, but more for when my skin’s been compromised.
I need to know if THE PHIX FILLER is bull crap and when I should use it in my skin care routine. I love the feel of it but unsure when to use it in my regime. I hope it’s not bull crap.
I believe what they mean is Vitamin A or Retinol introduces skin (healthy cell) turnover wherever its applied, this causes all the dead skin cells to come up on the surface and eventually go away, without this, your dead skin cells would keep accumulating and so probably that's what they mean when they say "overgrows"?
😀 So funny to watch you two applying this product in a totally different way. One using the "rub in on my face like I would massage marinate into a steak" method and the other one using the "gentle with fingertips like I would apply cream to my newborns bottom" technique.
I love The Ordinary package. Straight, clean, no bs. Excessive packaging/labels make me think they are trying to sell the bottle but not the actual product. I like The Inkey List too.
I have used products from The Ordinary for years. Some are OK while others are essential in my daily routine. This serum was a hit as soon as I first tried it! I do not notice a pink cast but I only use half a dropper and at night. I’m very glad you gave it your seal of approval! 🎉
I live in NY and as soon as the cold weather arrives my skin get very dehydrated and gets really flaky and dry, especially on the lower half of my face. I usually have to battle it for a few weeks with layers of moisturizers. I started using this and the flaky dryness stopped in a few days. I love this serum. I put it on first after cleansing and wait about 10 minutes, then do my routine. The pink hue does go away after a few minutes for me. It has been accepted into the inner sanctum of my skincare lol it should be honored 😂😂😂😂
I had no idea it was viral. I got mine weeks ago cause I needed more azalaic acid for my rosacea. My face is loving it. Initial pink does go away and my red cheeks have improved.
@@debutchi just a few days. Mine isn’t very bad but it’s totally worth a try. They have a sale on till the end of the month too so I snagged the discount and free shipping to Canada.
It seems to me that a lot of viral derms have some kind of issue with this brand...maybe, warranted. For me, they actually started the trend of consumers knowing and understanding ingredient based skincare, which in turn prompted a lot of derms becoming influencers and having a platform on social media to discuss skin. I only started watching derms because The Ordinary made me more aware of specified ingredients. Effective, economical, and accessible is always beneficial to everyone. As for this serum, it has really helped me with the appearance of my skin while using retinols.
I didn't even realize it's viral :D Just found it in an online shop a few weeks ago, my upper eyelids were terribly itchy and irritated so the ingredients list seemed appropriate. This serum went beyond all my expectations, it calms and soothes my inflamed and irritated eyelids without even a slightest sting. Perfect to put underneath an occlusive moisturizer or even better - vaseline.
I think that thIS “ PINK LOTION” ( Barrier Support Lotion ) from the Ordinary is worth every penny. I 10:44 have been using it a few times weeks now. And of late I have been getting lots of compliments on my st looking so good and glowing. So it takes a minute. But it works. And yes I use it with my other Ordinary skin care products as I have been using. And it seems to be compatible with everything that I have been using. Like you said “ No instant miracles “. But cumulative improvements. And NO IRRITATION whatsoever. Great protect. And I am 77 years old.
I live somewhere currently with dry cold weather, so far this serum has been a good part in my skincare routine during the week. I can see it being helpful to my nose and especially back of my hands for when it gets to minus 30celsius. Only thing I would change is the dropper because I find the serum too thick for the dropper. The pro side of that is it does help with portioning, con side is I need multiple trips if I want to apply to face and hands. Edit: thanks for the like doctorly! Edit2: aww I did not know editing comment takes away the heart. Makes sense why. 😂
I just ordered 4 of the Niod pumps I wonder if this would do better with a pump cap rather than a dropper,I also bought this serum and can’t wait to try
Hi Doctors! Would have wanted more information on what other activities are compatible with this new product, i.e. okay to use with retinol, vitamin c, AHA, etc. Thanks!
This serum came at just the right time for me! I love it, my skin had one of the worst breakouts ive had in over a year and this serum was the only thing i used besides (moisturizer and cleanser) i truly think it helped hasten my skins recovery
It's ACTUALLY $17-bucks! But I still love it, as someone who uses Tretinoin & Hydroquinone, I use this Barrier Relief serum often when I need a little EXTRA relief.
@@xXxLordFrodoxXx I personally apply the Barrier Relief Serum underneath my Tretinoin. To serve as a buffer, like a sandwich method. So I cleanse my skin, apply a mild hydrating toner, then sometimes a soothing balmy essence (depending on how my skin is feeling) then right after, I go in and apply The Ordinary Barrier Relief Serum. Then I wait a 2-3 minutes to apply my Tretinoin. Once my Tretinoin has had a chance to absorb into my skin, 15-minutes or so, I finally apply my moisturizer to seal in everything. Everyone is a little different, and it depends on how you react to Tretinoin. I use a high percentage of Tret, so I find this really helps my skin withstand a lot of the side effects, while still achieving all the great benefits. Best of LUCK! 🌸🙏🏽
I’ve been using it for couple of weeks and it’s totally worth the hype. I even started my 70yo mom on it and she said it’s the best thing I ever gave her.
I'd say it absolutely has the capacity to be causing a bit of coloration on my face. I've been ramping up my adapalene usage, and sometimes when skin flakes off later in the day it'll be a bright pink! Never ever happened prior to using this product. Still like it though.
I love this serum!! I have sensitive skin and i accidentally over-exfoliated one day so my skin was ultra sensitive for days, thought i'd give it a try and omg my skin has NEVER recovered so fast not even two days later my skin was back to normal, truly a miracle products 10/10!! Also could ya'll do a video on e.l.f skin products?
I really didn’t like this at first. My skin was sensitive to it at the time, but I was in the middle of a bad eczema flare up. Once my skin calmed down a little bit, I started using it again and it started improving my skin even faster and got better than before. This is now a must have in the winter for me.
love the fact that you rate and tell your experience with the ordinary products. i just bought this serum. I'm not sure when to use in the application order. any tips? Thanks.
I adore this one, just bought my second bottle. I have quite dry cheeks and rosaceea and it visibly calms down my skin and hydrates it well. My boyfriend also loves it 👍
I personally didn't have a good experience with this, i actually got fungal acne after using it. I'm sure just a mixture of my own natural biome and other products I was using didn't help, but definitely did not work for me. Glad others found it to be useful.
As far as packaging and color, as well as body and substance, I'd have to give Dr Maxfield a solid 10....far from Ordinary. Enjoy the channel and all the information given.
Pre turning 35yo, my skin was always combo- oily. After 35yo it switched to combo dry but then started just getting drier and drier.. I was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroiditis (hypo) & pernicious anaemia just over a year ago - both know for causing dry skin issues. I obviously switched my products when i switched from oily combo to dry combo but this last year I've REALLY had to focus on it to prevent my skin, face in particular from turning into snake skin shedding off. I also experienced my 1st bout of eczema 2 months ago, 1 large palm size patch on my throat and 2 small patches under my left eye and on the eyelid. Used 1% steroid cream on my neck but was told not to use it on my face. Slowvember sale had just started, i normally stock up on my fav products from the ordinary and get a years worth. Ive stopped all actives whilst having the eczema flare and have been using the barrier support serum & the b oil ever since. The combo cleared up the eczema on my face faster than the steriod cream cleared up my neck! I actually started using the combo on my neck too to help it out. Was/am using the aveeno baby dermexa emoliant cream on my face and the goodnight emolilient balm on my neck to keep it moisturised. Am now finally back to where i can START bringing back in actives again like retanol & exfoliants. (I pay to see a private dermatologist here in the UK). Feels a little disheartening to start over again but i understand why, however the ordinary and its pricing has allowed me to first try new things, change strenghts when needsd, buy totally new products if my skin changes like the eczema flare up and rebuy less potent actives when I need to, and not have to think twice or overthink due to the price. I do use oyher brands for clensing/moisturizing/sunscreen, but nearly all my actives are from the ordinary, except for my favourite glycolic acid toner.
I switched from adapalene to tretinoin about 10 days ago and did experience a reaction. Dryness, redness, flaking... This thing actually calmed my skin very quickly. I kept using tretinoin with this on top of it and in 3-4 days my skin already got used to the tretinoin and is now completely calm! I only use it at night over tretinoin because it does have a pink hue.
😅 lucky you. I’ve been using tretinoin for almost 2 years and still experience dryness and sensitivity 🤷🏻♀️ all well. I Just take breaks from it. Of course my skin does way better in the summer humidity with tretinoin versus the colder months
b12 (riboflavin) has a fluorescent bright yellow glow naturally. it actually naturally glows crazy under a black light. there might be another ingredient making it more green looking
I'm on my second bottle and I love this product. The price is now $17. I would like to see a pump and not a dropper and an option to buy a bigger sized bottle. This has changed my skin and I can't go without it!!!
Well, I have dry, sensitive, aging drama queen skin and I love it!!! It does calm and moisturize it. For an excellent price too! (And pink has been my favorite color since I was a little girl 🙂)
I tried this and my skin went beserk!! Super itchy, red and felt like on fire. Tried it a few days later, same thing, tried again a week or so later, same thing. Nope, in the bin
I had a completely different experience with this serum. It stung my face and made it red. It pilled no matter how or what order I used it. I got through one bottle, just barely, and couldn’t wait to be finished with it.
Do not use anything that stings your skin. You may either be allergic or have a severely compromised skin barrier. Stick to basic unscented non-comedogenic moisturizers like vaniccream, hydrating toners and essences like corsx snail mucin to repair.
I really enjoy the ordinary products and inkey list products. I wish y’all would just do a series over main brands and which products you like from each major brand that is within a normal price range. With 3 kiddos I don’t take time for myself and I don’t want to spend a ton of money. I have normal combination skin with fine lines starting because I’m getting closer to 40 everyday.
Could you do a video on skin oiling? I am a 54 yr old women and have started oiling my skin with a mixture of Jojoba/Frankincense/Black Castor oil and I have never looked better. My skin is so plump and clear, wrinkles only appear when I smile. It has changed my life. I would like to know what your take is on this. I know oil can be bad for some skin types, but going through menopause left me with dry irritated skin and trying several brands of skincare left me with breakouts and scaring. I gave up and went holistic. It’s amazing what my skin looks like.
Love both of you being so honest. I agree with you about the B12.. I personally don't like colors in skincare, and I don't buy in the B12 as breakthrough. I gave it half a bottle to try out, not that impressed... It's like a mineral based smell with graininess
The gimmicky color actually made me less interested in the product, especially when I couldn’t find any research on B12 being beneficial for the skin. I wasn’t impressed by the ingredients list, either. Those that are pertinent to my skin, I already get in other products. It’s a pass for me.
Hi guys, I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 1st November. I have already noticed my skin suffering - it's very dry and becoming wrinkly quickly. I have been taking 35g of marine collagen daily to try and combat this and the inevitable loose skin. Do you have any recommendations for anything I can put on my skin to reduce the loose skin? I'm 49 years old.
This is one of those products that I really noticed a positive impact on my skin. Just in the last few days my skin has been freaking out (dry/burning) for no apparent reason - maybe stress? Idk - and it helped me so much! It is a bit thicker for a serum, I still use a moisturiser over top, but if you're a bit oilier, you could almost skip it.
Cheap, simple but effective packaging? That's a 10 for me 💯 Don't charge me extra dollars for some fancy package 🤨 I want to pay for what is inside!

I must admit that at first I felt like I was putting Pepto Bismol on my face 😅
Packaging should be simple and inexpensive! And, what most people don't realise is, that fancy packaging doesn't mean better product!
I didn't even realize it's viral :D Just found it in an online shop a few weeks ago, my upper eyelids were terribly itchy and irritated so the ingredients list seemed appropriate. This serum went beyond all my expectations, it calms and soothes my inflamed and irritated eyelids without even a slightest sting. Perfect to put underneath an occlusive moisturizer or even better - vaseline.
I think that thIS “ PINK LOTION” ( Barrier Support Lotion ) from the Ordinary is worth every penny. I 10:44 have been using it a few times weeks now. And of late I have been getting lots of compliments on my st looking so good and glowing. So it takes a minute. But it works. And yes I use it with my other Ordinary skin care products as I have been using. And it seems to be compatible with everything that I have been using. Like you said “ No instant miracles “. But cumulative improvements. And NO IRRITATION whatsoever.
Great protect. And I am 77 years old.
Good to know! I'm 71, Julie Hilldebrand, and I just started using some of TO products. Which ones do you use?
I live somewhere currently with dry cold weather, so far this serum has been a good part in my skincare routine during the week. I can see it being helpful to my nose and especially back of my hands for when it gets to minus 30celsius. Only thing I would change is the dropper because I find the serum too thick for the dropper. The pro side of that is it does help with portioning, con side is I need multiple trips if I want to apply to face and hands.
Edit: thanks for the like doctorly!
Edit2: aww I did not know editing comment takes away the heart. Makes sense why. 😂
I just ordered 4 of the Niod pumps I wonder if this would do better with a pump cap rather than a dropper,I also bought this serum and can’t wait to try
I haven’t even heard of this product! 🤯
Hi Doctors! Would have wanted more information on what other activities are compatible with this new product, i.e. okay to use with retinol, vitamin c, AHA, etc. Thanks!
This stuff is great. I layer under Tret and it repaired my barrier which had been stressed for several weeks.
This serum came at just the right time for me! I love it, my skin had one of the worst breakouts ive had in over a year and this serum was the only thing i used besides (moisturizer and cleanser) i truly think it helped hasten my skins recovery
It costs around 30$ here😢
Could you please give me your thoughts in this Lancome serum? Lancôme
Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum
You are the most adorable and informative skin doctors on TH-cam
I just love you guys
It's ACTUALLY $17-bucks! But I still love it, as someone who uses Tretinoin & Hydroquinone, I use this Barrier Relief serum often when I need a little EXTRA relief.
With the ordinary sale right now it is $13
@@maryferguson9442 Yes, very truuue
Hi, i use tret myself but i’m not sure how to apply it with the serum as in layering, what goes first etc.. can you please help me?
@@xXxLordFrodoxXx I personally apply the Barrier Relief Serum underneath my Tretinoin. To serve as a buffer, like a sandwich method. So I cleanse my skin, apply a mild hydrating toner, then sometimes a soothing balmy essence (depending on how my skin is feeling) then right after, I go in and apply The Ordinary Barrier Relief Serum. Then I wait a 2-3 minutes to apply my Tretinoin. Once my Tretinoin has had a chance to absorb into my skin, 15-minutes or so, I finally apply my moisturizer to seal in everything. Everyone is a little different, and it depends on how you react to Tretinoin. I use a high percentage of Tret, so I find this really helps my skin withstand a lot of the side effects, while still achieving all the great benefits. Best of LUCK! 🌸🙏🏽
I use it before Tretinoin, really like it 💕
I’ve been using it for couple of weeks and it’s totally worth the hype. I even started my 70yo mom on it and she said it’s the best thing I ever gave her.
LOVE THIS SERIES 🎉 please keep doing them!
Cerave moisturer has these ingredients anyway. Great product but totally unnecessary if you have a good moisturizer.
I'd say it absolutely has the capacity to be causing a bit of coloration on my face. I've been ramping up my adapalene usage, and sometimes when skin flakes off later in the day it'll be a bright pink! Never ever happened prior to using this product. Still like it though.
I love this serum!! I have sensitive skin and i accidentally over-exfoliated one day so my skin was ultra sensitive for days, thought i'd give it a try and omg my skin has NEVER recovered so fast not even two days later my skin was back to normal, truly a miracle products 10/10!!
Also could ya'll do a video on e.l.f skin products?
Is it possible that it is giving the oppostite to me? Irritating my skin
@@83loveanimals Depends on your skin, there may be a chance you could be mildly allergic to one of the ingredients
I really didn’t like this at first. My skin was sensitive to it at the time, but I was in the middle of a bad eczema flare up. Once my skin calmed down a little bit, I started using it again and it started improving my skin even faster and got better than before. This is now a must have in the winter for me.
love the fact that you rate and tell your experience with the ordinary products. i just bought this serum. I'm not sure when to use in the application order. any tips? Thanks.
B12 is used for it's anti itching properties.
Hey sirs! Love your content here. Can you please share a great budget eye cream for anti-aging that's not drying too! Or do we really need to use one?
Have you tried the one from Beauty of Joseon that has retinal in it? I like it. I’d be interested in hearing what the doctors say too.
Thank you! I’ve been curious but I felt like a sucker for liking the pink too. Calming, soothing, hydrating sounds nice for winter
I adore this one, just bought my second bottle. I have quite dry cheeks and rosaceea and it visibly calms down my skin and hydrates it well. My boyfriend also loves it 👍
Hi guys have a great weekend 😀
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
What’s funny is the clinical trial was only 23 people, and they only did one application 😂
I personally didn't have a good experience with this, i actually got fungal acne after using it. I'm sure just a mixture of my own natural biome and other products I was using didn't help, but definitely did not work for me. Glad others found it to be useful.
As far as packaging and color, as well as body and substance, I'd have to give Dr Maxfield a solid 10....far from Ordinary. Enjoy the channel and all the information given.
Pre turning 35yo, my skin was always combo- oily. After 35yo it switched to combo dry but then started just getting drier and drier.. I was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroiditis (hypo) & pernicious anaemia just over a year ago - both know for causing dry skin issues. I obviously switched my products when i switched from oily combo to dry combo but this last year I've REALLY had to focus on it to prevent my skin, face in particular from turning into snake skin shedding off. I also experienced my 1st bout of eczema 2 months ago, 1 large palm size patch on my throat and 2 small patches under my left eye and on the eyelid. Used 1% steroid cream on my neck but was told not to use it on my face. Slowvember sale had just started, i normally stock up on my fav products from the ordinary and get a years worth. Ive stopped all actives whilst having the eczema flare and have been using the barrier support serum & the b oil ever since. The combo cleared up the eczema on my face faster than the steriod cream cleared up my neck! I actually started using the combo on my neck too to help it out. Was/am using the aveeno baby dermexa emoliant cream on my face and the goodnight emolilient balm on my neck to keep it moisturised. Am now finally back to where i can START bringing back in actives again like retanol & exfoliants. (I pay to see a private dermatologist here in the UK). Feels a little disheartening to start over again but i understand why, however the ordinary and its pricing has allowed me to first try new things, change strenghts when needsd, buy totally new products if my skin changes like the eczema flare up and rebuy less potent actives when I need to, and not have to think twice or overthink due to the price. I do use oyher brands for clensing/moisturizing/sunscreen, but nearly all my actives are from the ordinary, except for my favourite glycolic acid toner.
Too much b12 (taken as injection) broke out my skin. I've read other anecdotal posts about too much b12 causing acne too!
I switched from adapalene to tretinoin about 10 days ago and did experience a reaction. Dryness, redness, flaking... This thing actually calmed my skin very quickly. I kept using tretinoin with this on top of it and in 3-4 days my skin already got used to the tretinoin and is now completely calm!
I only use it at night over tretinoin because it does have a pink hue.
😅 lucky you. I’ve been using tretinoin for almost 2 years and still experience dryness and sensitivity 🤷🏻♀️ all well. I Just take breaks from it. Of course my skin does way better in the summer humidity with tretinoin versus the colder months
@@elettramia6380try using tretinoin cream instead of gel :)
Țyuuuuu
b12 (riboflavin) has a fluorescent bright yellow glow naturally. it actually naturally glows crazy under a black light. there might be another ingredient making it more green looking
The instructions say to not use with vitamin c. So do we only use it at night? Before or after tretinoin?
I'm on my second bottle and I love this product. The price is now $17. I would like to see a pump and not a dropper and an option to buy a bigger sized bottle. This has changed my skin and I can't go without it!!!
Yo lo compre y ni se usarlo. 😂😂😂🤣
Well, I have dry, sensitive, aging drama queen skin and I love it!!! It does calm and moisturize it. For an excellent price too! (And pink has been my favorite color since I was a little girl 🙂)
I could care less about the packaging,
I tried this and my skin went beserk!! Super itchy, red and felt like on fire. Tried it a few days later, same thing, tried again a week or so later, same thing. Nope, in the bin
Let’s see both of y’all’s skincare routine???😁
Ooooooh, I love this idea! Except it might be too expensive for me. Lol
Dr Shah your face is so plump n hydrated n looks amazing.. Do a blog on your skincare routine plse
He uses a semen mask
I had a completely different experience with this serum. It stung my face and made it red. It pilled no matter how or what order I used it. I got through one bottle, just barely, and couldn’t wait to be finished with it.
In my experience, it’s better to not keep using things on your skin if it stings.
Do not use anything that stings your skin. You may either be allergic or have a severely compromised skin barrier. Stick to basic unscented non-comedogenic moisturizers like vaniccream, hydrating toners and essences like corsx snail mucin to repair.
I really enjoy the ordinary products and inkey list products. I wish y’all would just do a series over main brands and which products you like from each major brand that is within a normal price range. With 3 kiddos I don’t take time for myself and I don’t want to spend a ton of money. I have normal combination skin with fine lines starting because I’m getting closer to 40 everyday.
Could you do a video on skin oiling? I am a 54 yr old women and have started oiling my skin with a mixture of Jojoba/Frankincense/Black Castor oil and I have never looked better. My skin is so plump and clear, wrinkles only appear when I smile. It has changed my life. I would like to know what your take is on this. I know oil can be bad for some skin types, but going through menopause left me with dry irritated skin and trying several brands of skincare left me with breakouts and scaring. I gave up and went holistic. It’s amazing what my skin looks like.
I want something that would help me get rid of dark under arms or dark spots
Glycolic acid.
Try the ordinary Glycolic acid 7% toning solution.
Glycolic
Love both of you being so honest. I agree with you about the B12.. I personally don't like colors in skincare, and I don't buy in the B12 as breakthrough. I gave it half a bottle to try out, not that impressed... It's like a mineral based smell with graininess
The gimmicky color actually made me less interested in the product, especially when I couldn’t find any research on B12 being beneficial for the skin. I wasn’t impressed by the ingredients list, either. Those that are pertinent to my skin, I already get in other products. It’s a pass for me.
Hi guys, I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 1st November. I have already noticed my skin suffering - it's very dry and becoming wrinkly quickly. I have been taking 35g of marine collagen daily to try and combat this and the inevitable loose skin. Do you have any recommendations for anything I can put on my skin to reduce the loose skin? I'm 49 years old.
This is one of those products that I really noticed a positive impact on my skin. Just in the last few days my skin has been freaking out (dry/burning) for no apparent reason - maybe stress? Idk - and it helped me so much!
It is a bit thicker for a serum, I still use a moisturiser over top, but if you're a bit oilier, you could almost skip it.
