I am 56 and have been using Ordinary for 2 years. That being said, I started using the Argireline Solution 10% about a year ago & it has made a pretty significant difference in my #11's & the fine wrinkles around my eyes & mouth. The results are subtle. Its not going to blow your socks off. BUT if you use it for a month & then stop. You will notice the difference within days. It works yall. And for the price I'll gladly repurchase it forever.
I agree totally that the effects are subtle. I didn't think it was doing any good and then I stopped using it and noticed the lines coming back. I get the most effect using it around the side of my face and my chin. Try it for a few months and then stop using it and you'll see what I mean. I am 68.
Can you talk about the order you use it? I didn't know if applying before my lactic acid or after? I usually use lactic acid then argiraline and then my Vit C or just moisturizer then sunscreen?
I use argireline last 4 years every morning and night on my forehead,upper lip amd around the eyes, I am 46 and I can say that when I am moving my forehead it looks exactly as if I had botox,but without side effects ❤
I’m 62 an have used the argireline for years now and I love it BUT it is no “Botox in a bottle”! It does target those pesky 11s and smile lines very well. I’m very happy with it in my skincare routine.
Great video. the ordinary has so many products that it can be confusing. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Copper Buffet Copper Peptides 1 % serum. This is my holy grail! I found out about it from Abbey Yung another u tuber. It’s an amazing serum! I’m 70 years old with dry skin and have had zero irritation!
Buffet copper peptides is my HG too. Switched to the normal one for a bit and really noticed a diff - skin didn’t look nearly as good. Straight back into the copper one.
Thank u for this I struggle with what I can and cannot use together but having goods results with what I’m using I’d love a video with how to use the different products together properly 😊
At first, I was using the Buffet for some time until I started getting some irritations. When I switched to Matrixyl, it was better for my skin with no irritation!
A sincere thanks! Ordinary can be overwhelming. I want it all to make me look 30 years younger. Just too many products and you can't just mix some of them. So overwhelmed is really an understatement. Also thanks for you humorous way of presenting the content. 💙💚from Texas
I like the ordinary products. I always spray water on my face after applying a peptide. As they are always diluted with a humectant, so I make sure there is water. Then I wait till it dries, and apply Tretinion.
I have never been able to use any Vit. C product either -- until I found Maelove's Glowmaker, which seems to be as close to a dupe for Skinceuticals as one can get without getting sued. My 66 yo skin (and my DH's 67 yo skin) love it. My favorite products from The Ordinary (and ones I will never be without) are: glycolic acid toner, caffeine serum, and niacinamide with zinc serum. Those last two serums I use every day, while I alternate the other two (Vit C in morning and gylcolic at night) with Paula's Choice BHA toner in morning and Rx tretinoin at night.
Oh I do really do agree with u, that it’s not Botox in a bottle as when I did first hear the you tuber saying it was I went on and bought it straight away and have been using for quite a while now and have not seen anything like it and was a bit disappointed but with it being so cheap I didn’t lose too much but thank you for all ur good knowledge take care Sharron xxxxx
I absolutely love the glycolic toner. It is a staple in my skin care. I use it both in the morning and at night. And you are correct! It lasts forever! It is a great value and a great product. I don’t even use a cotton round to apply. I just put it in my hands and pat it on my face. That way my skin absorbs it and not the cotton pad. I feel I use a lot less product this way. Great video!
The Ordinarys powder vitamin C is awesome! I don’t have sensitive skin . I’ve used it for years! You mix with your fav serum or oil or moisturizer or plain water. It’s great!
Hi can anyone please advise me on where oil (rose hip or whichever) fits into The Ordinary skincare routine? And also whether it is suitable to use it either morning or night or both.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I have dry, 48 year old skin with some sun damage and use the Ordinary products pm only: Alpha Arbutin, Matrixyl, Marine Hyalauranics, and Azelic acid (then another brand's Tranexamic acid, rentinol and night time moisturizer). I don't care for any of the Ordinary's retinol or vitamin C product at all - the vitamin C upsets my skin too. Timeless vitamin C 20% is supposed to be a cheaper dupe for the Skinceuticals Vitamin C and i get along with both very well but buy the Timeless version and so my AM routine is simple: CereVe cleanser, Timeless 20% vitamin C and Vanicream daily moisturizer (is exactly like CereVe PM but with no Niacinimide which irritates my eyes) and of course, sunscreen. :)
I’ve tried a lot of the ordinary products but there are 3 stand outs for me. Squalene cleanser, azaleic acid and NMF are firm favourites for me. I’d been using skin + me to get my acne under control after 20 years of suffering, but have now dropped that and have found that double cleansing and azaleic acid at night are the winning formula at keeping my acne at bay.
My favorite vitamin C serum from the Ordinary is the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% serum. I've tried others and always come back to that one because it's non irritating, with a lightweight quick absorbing texture being water based. I also love the Buffet with copper peptides. Been using that for several years at nighttime.
@@sunnychoudhary1323 I didn't have a lot of hyperpigmentation to begin with but I think my skin has become more even toned over time. I also like its antioxidant properties under sunscreen and the slightly glowy finish it leaves.
I use the Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid which I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about it, but I love it. I now need to look into Argireline Solution!
@@walkingbyfaith2885 Drunk Elephant Vit C and protini peptide also Niod Dismutase mist although I’m sure you could use any vit c and Ordinary peptide. I make a cocktail and pat the mixture on each morning.
Hi I'm in My late 50s with reasonable skin and I'm still confused what to use each day as well as a couple of times a week.... I do feel that WE can use to many products .... would be lovely to see what You would advise for Your Mum but realise that she is older than Me . Thank You Gemma 🥰
Hi Gemma I'm 56 and have been using a basic skin care system forever. I'm starting to try out items to add to my usual routine Thank you for sharing this video with us. I have several Ordinary products but am confused wether to use them AM or PM and ink what order - would you please consider filming a video in which you give products to use in morning and eveing ? Thanks again for sharing 😊
Ultimately has a "how tobyse" section firneach product. Tells you what to not mix with and when to use it. Should also say on the orignial box when to use it, bur not what to not nix it with.
I used an even higher percentage of Vitamin C Serum for years than Skinceuticals which has only 15%. I am a cosmetologist also, so I pay attention! But Trinny Londons new Vitamin C is 30% in a fantastic delivery system and leaves my skin so emollient, that I go straight to my SPF afterwards. My skin has improved just from this, seriously. I use Tazorak 1%, a strong type of Retin A every other night, and I can tell you, Trinny 's Vitamin C blows everybody else's away!
Best vitamin C from Ordinay for me is 20% with HA. My skin doesn't complain at all. However, sometimes it doesn't mix with other textures. It's the best a try of any brand that I try.
I unsubscribed a while ago because SO many of the products you were reviewing were ridiculously priced, out of range for 98% of people. I assumed you did it to get expensive products sent to you to review. Glad to see this video is about products "regular" people can afford. I'll subscribe again after I'm confident your videos are of interest to me again. THX
I’ve noticed a lot of beauty influencers have moved on to less expensive products. Maybe they’re realizing they’d get more views with doing less expensive product reviews, and not so many high-end products. Who can afford those high-end products these days? Not the every day public who are watching these videos that’s for sure
Regarding Vitamin C, I haven't found a suitable one for Sensitive skin from THE ORDINARY. I use CeraVe Vitamin C w/ Ceramides, HA,and B5. It's 10% L-absorbic acid Vit C serum and it's never irritated my face or neck. It's lightened my dark spots in less than 30 days so I Highly recommend it due to the wonderful price point, Fragrance-Free, Gentle formula, and it WORKS!!!
I use the multi-peptide serum for hair density and I can swear it is working. The niacinimide/zinc has made the spider veins in my face much less visible. I also use the caffeine solution under my eyes for my eye bags and dark circles but have not noticed a difference.
i use already 3 months Argireline and Matrixil 50/50 and i see big difference on my first wrinkles! As well i am using once a week Hyaluronic Acid 2% on my hair after wash and i see that hairs get stronger and more hydrated!
Hi Antra! Thank you for sharing😉 Can you advice please: do you use the Argirilene and Matrilixil mix daily AM and PM? How many drops of each every time? When do you apply it in your routine, after the toner? Thank you 😊
@@victoriakieu2546 drops two of each, use it mornings, i wash my face, than toner and than apply mix and on top moistoraizer! works perfect! Evening i use retinol 0.5 in squalane not every evening and vitamin C and moistoraizer.... one day one on other day another! I dont like to think in morning there routine is same but evenings depend on my mood and how skin looks and feel! 😊
Dear Gemma, I am in LOVE with your Channel! Thank you for all your recommendations, I am Amuzed!! I am 59 years old and started to look how to take care my skin and wrinkles as I am aging and I have a lot lines... Do you have a video about how to use a daily routine with the Ordinary Products and other products you suggested, I appreciate 🙏
I got a little bored with The Ordinary for a while, but it’s made a comeback. I love the squalane cleanser and use it every day, often as a one-and-done cleanser. I also love the moisturizer. It’s not rich enough for me on a daily basis (my skin is ridiculously dry right now), but it wears wonderfully under makeup, and even mixes well with makeup. And that anhydrous salicylic acid?? Total game changer for me. I’ve never found a salicylic acid product that I could use with any regularity…until I tried that serum.
@@Shireenskrobanek at night and most days I use Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide cream. It’s very pricey, but if you get refills from their website with a subscription, that brings the price down to about $37. Still very pricey, but my skin really loves this stuff. Sometimes at night, if I’m feeling really dry, I’ll apply a layer of Avene XeraCalmAD before I go to sleep. It’s really nice and occlusive, but it doesn’t feel too heavy. Plus it comes in a big tube for face and body, so the price per oz is pretty low.
Over the last 2 years I have been wearing facemasks when working at certain units. This has caused my skin no end of issues, breakouts, deep seated tenderness and I have ended up looking like I sniff glue.😶 I discovered (friend at work recommend), Squaline cleanser. Paired with Nicinamide plus zinc my skin appearance changed after a month. I am not disappoint and can not recommend The Ordinary enough, after my tender areas around my mouth and chin disappeared within 3 weeks. I'm so happy I'm not letting this routine slip.
I had combination to oily skin for which the Natural Moisturiser with HA could be problematic, but I learned that The Ordinary's Niacinimide 10% + Zinc, balances oil production in your skin. I've used it a few years now and you can't go wrong. I mix the niacinimide with the Buffet. It helps with the pilling that I experience when I use the niacinamide on its own.
Thanks for the tips on Buffet vs Matrixyl. I've experienced some irritation with the Buffet on occasion. Great video! Your knowledge is so evident... as always💗
This was SO helpful, thank you! I'm 53 and I've been trying different products over the last few years but am considering going back and building a routine from The Ordinary and now I know what I need to get. Yay!
You got my fav, the azelaic acid ❤️ I had problems with pilling as well in the past but after watching the Dr. Bunting advises to use it after cleansing and toner I never had that problem anymore, no matter how much I apply. I use it after toner, essence and ampoule, so after the fluids in my routine. I let the azelaic acid sink in for 1min and then apply other cremy formulas as my moisturizer or spf in the morning. I usually use it in the evening but this way it also works under makeup. No pilling at all.
I'm new to the game, but I'd love a video or the link to a video of what products can be used together, in the am vs pm and which moisturers can be used with said products. Thanks for the great video.
I love the azelaic acid. It has been a few changer for my rosacea. I used to use it in the morning but it does pill. I switched to night time use. I really don't care if it pills at night and I still get all the benefit. Love it 💕
I love this video and I use Niacinamide and the Matrixyl in the morning but I wanted to know if I can use it at night before I use my Retin A and I always use a moisturizer after I put them on and before the Retin A. I would appreciate any advice from you. 😊
My favourite vitC from the ordinary is the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, I have SUPER sensitive skin and it does wonders! It's the only non-direct water based vitC that the ordinary does that isn't a powdered suspension
I love the Lancôme all over concealer too! I think it’s great for wearing without foundation, but it’s not super high coverage. It also helps that I found a shade that is the perfect match for my skin tone- 250. Can’t wait to try the Huda concealer, thanks for the review!
I’m so happy you mentioned the Marine Hyaluronics!! It’s my favorite!! I wish it came in a larger size! I’ll have to try mixing with the EU. Thanks for the video!
Oh My gosh I spent over hundred bucks on my skin care, for over ten years, been looking for some skin care that actually works for my skin and cost less money than I spent, I really hope Ordinary products work for me, I’ve purchased ordinary products a few days ago Cleanser Niacinamide Hyaluronic Buffet Moisturizer very excited to try them on my face Could you please tell me what to apply step by step in order for daytime routine and nighttime routine Thx in advance 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for enlightening me with this information I would be grateful if you can tell how to use this products What comes first and so on Morning routine and evening routine I am 66 years old and need my face to tight and wrinkle free Thank you in advance
53 and very lucky have good skin without much care really except always wear sunblock. Started using the lactic acid 10% and it is amazing! My skin is so clear. Wasn't locking it in with ,moisturiser so will do that from now on. I am very confused about when to do what though and what order to do a routine in. Great video and new subscriber!
I love love love the Ethylated Ascorbic Acid variant of the vitamin c serums. Note, I have only used NIOD's EAA serum. But, from what I can tell, the Ordinary's version is pretty much the same formulation, just at a lower percentage and without some additional antioxidants. But, those formulations are my vit c go-to's. I also used TO's Ascorbic Acid serum. Has the same base as the EAA serum and worked well, but was a little more irritating. I don't recall ever experiencing any irritation with the EAA.
Gemma, thank you for another great video. You are by far my fav beauty youtube. I found the video on the Ordinary very helpful. One small request though that I am wondering if some other people might make too. Would you do a follow up on the ordinary where you put together some basic skin care regimes based on the ordinary products that you mentioned? Per skin type ? It would be so helpful because one gets so overwhelmed with so many products and its hard to know what one really needs. They all sound amazing. Thank you and keep up your lovely work.
Try the “Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30% Network” from NIOD, which is also an Ordinary Brand. Try it alone first and if your skin can take it, mix it with Vitamin E. It costs about $40 Canadian.
What a lot to ábsorb'!! Never used the Ordinary range, only starting to see it around more. Nothing much to purchase in our country town in Australia. Thanks for your wonderful review of so many products. Will follow up on line the various products I noted.
I’m 65 normal to slightly dry sensitive skin and I’m still searching for a daily and night routine. Have always wanted to try the ordinary products. This helps me understand the different products they offer. To start off with could you please help me decided which products besides the cleanser and moisturizer I should get first. Also I desperately need a good affordable eye cream and or treatment. Love your content and TIA.
I really suggest trying the Buffet with copper peptides, it has made a huge improvement over the one without. Science on copper peptides is amazing and well researched, and they’re usual much more expensive.
I'm only two months into building my skincare routine and what got me started was getting an RX for treninoin. Due to side effects such as dry red skin and peeling then began my journey of proper skincare. My favorite two brands are CereVa and The Ordinary so obviously that makes me a value shopper. You mentioned a few products I use like the niacinamide serum and azelaic acid and they are both great. I have a few more on the way that were not available for sale at my local Ulta. Happy New Year!
Julie Norton I am just starting with the Ordinary products and have heard great things about the products. I am a little confused with what to apply first, second, etc... What products to mix and not mix. Your help will be greatly appreciated. 😊
Hi, I'm rather new to these products I'm 63 and have oily mature skin, haven't thought about anti aging skin products until a few months ago. I love all the products that of have been using for a month, I need advice on what should I try next? Thanks and I really enjoy your videos
Hi. Very informative video. I have just started with a few of the products and am liking them so far. Will be trying the argireline and see if I get a bit of help with my forehead lines. Oh to be 20 again 😂
Hi I really would like to try this brand , but I am scare to mix them and then have a terrible results or burn my skin. Do you have a tutorial about what products to use and mix with what products of the same brand? Thanks 🙏🏻
Great video.. thanks 😊. I currently use the squalene oil and glycolic toner ( I love that stuff). In the past, I’ve used the azaelic acid and did not like the consistency either..glad to hear I’m not the only one. Alpha arbutin did nothing for me, but I may not have given it enough time. I currently use Mandelic acid from Inkey along with Ambi, and so far, noticing small changes.
Thanks for the informative video! I have been using the Ordinary products for sometime now and always seem to go back to them. I really like the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% serum, very gentle and soaks in nicely. I also use the Resveratol serum every few days and mix it with moisturizer. It makes my skin glow and doesn't affect foundation application if you give it time to sink in. I read somewhere that it is a good antioxidant as well. I also enjoy the Ordinary Rosehip oil and find it is a good value at the price point. Tried the Alpha Arbutin on an old sun spot and didn't really work for me. I didn't care for the texture, too oily and not really effective. Otherwise, love the Ordinary products overall!
Hello 👋🏽, I am new to your channel. This is a great educational video. Thank you for this valuable resource. My skin also does not agree with vitamin C & vs versa. I can relate. New to my skin regimen is the Argireline & Matrixyl serums. I absolutely love the combination. I have noticed my skin is smoother & firmer including my neck. Thank you for letting me know that I can use these two products with Tretinoin. Your complexion is gorgeous. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
I’m very overwhelmed. I’m wanting to update my skincare routine but really don’t know where to start. I’m 63 and have used tretinoin for many years. I currently am liking the Curology which is .05 tretinoin, Azelaic Acid 5% and Niacinimide 4% almost every night. I also like Curology cleanser and moisturizer. I have recently added their brand of SPF. I saw a TH-cam video recommending the Ordinary lash/brow boost which I am trying as well as their Niacinimide 10% + zinc. I’m using Timeless vitamin C with the Niacinimide in the mornings underneath my moisturizer and sunscreen. As I said before it’s kind of overwhelming! I live in Florida and love the beach and pool. I want the biggest bang for my buck and easiest routine. Can you give me advice on a routine? What routine does your beautiful mother follow? Would love to stick with the Ordinary if possible. Thank you Gemma!
If I buy & use the 2 Ordinary products you recommend, the Argireline & the EUK 134, how do you mix the to mimic your other product that is pricey? Do you just mix a couple of drops on your fingers like I’ve been doing with the Niacinamide & Matrixyl? Or do you pour equal amounts into another bottle & mix it? Please let me know. Also, should I then not use the Niacinamide/Matrixyl combo I have been using both day & night (except when I’m applying my Tretinoin)? I appreciate the instructions!
My favourite vitamin C (not from TO) is C-glow from Geek and Gorgeus - it is 15%, with Ferulic acid and vitamin E. Much more affordable than the Skinceuticals 🙂 Revox Just has an Azelaic acid suspension 10% which feels a lot better than TO. Love when you do skincare videos😀
Thank you! Lots of info to digest in this one. Also you look amazing in this video! Would love to know what products you wore today?! Lastly, would love to know your thoughts on Inkey List products, they seem similar in concept to The Ordinary - is Inkey List available in the UK? 💕 your channel you have gotten me to up my skin care and makeup game!
Hi, you mentioned you were going to add a link from the Ordinary’s page that showed what you should and shouldn’t mix. I don’t see that, am I missing it?
Thanks so much for all this information. I would love to know where to start, which 3, alone with the cleanse, would you start with, and then I can build from there, I am not asking which products, I would like to know from which 3 groups should I focus on first. Acids? Antioxidant? Peptide? Thanks

Ultimately has a "how tobyse" section firneach product. Tells you what to not mix with and when to use it. Should also say on the orignial box when to use it, bur not what to not nix it with.
I used an even higher percentage of Vitamin C Serum for years than Skinceuticals which has only 15%. I am a cosmetologist also, so I pay attention! But Trinny Londons new Vitamin C is 30% in a fantastic delivery system and leaves my skin so emollient, that I go straight to my SPF afterwards. My skin has improved just from this, seriously. I use Tazorak 1%, a strong type of Retin A every other night, and I can tell you, Trinny 's Vitamin C blows everybody else's away!
Where to purchase Trinny's Vitamin C???
Wish I knew what products to use together, it all seems very confusing 😕
Best vitamin C from Ordinay for me is 20% with HA. My skin doesn't complain at all. However, sometimes it doesn't mix with other textures. It's the best a try of any brand that I try.
I unsubscribed a while ago because SO many of the products you were reviewing were ridiculously priced, out of range for 98% of people. I assumed you did it to get expensive products sent to you to review. Glad to see this video is about products "regular" people can afford. I'll subscribe again after I'm confident your videos are of interest to me again. THX
I’ve noticed a lot of beauty influencers have moved on to less expensive products. Maybe they’re realizing they’d get more views with doing less expensive product reviews, and not so many high-end products. Who can afford those high-end products these days? Not the every day public who are watching these videos that’s for sure
Regarding Vitamin C, I haven't found a suitable one for Sensitive skin from THE ORDINARY. I use CeraVe Vitamin C w/ Ceramides, HA,and B5. It's 10% L-absorbic acid Vit C serum and it's never irritated my face or neck. It's lightened my dark spots in less than 30 days so I Highly recommend it due to the wonderful price point, Fragrance-Free, Gentle formula, and it WORKS!!!
I use the multi-peptide serum for hair density and I can swear it is working. The niacinimide/zinc has made the spider veins in my face much less visible. I also use the caffeine solution under my eyes for my eye bags and dark circles but have not noticed a difference.
Yes, no difference also on my eye bags.
for me , no difference too
good information , I am breaking out for the first time ever but will have to determine which is the culprit
i use already 3 months Argireline and Matrixil 50/50 and i see big difference on my first wrinkles! As well i am using once a week Hyaluronic Acid 2% on my hair after wash and i see that hairs get stronger and more hydrated!
Hi Antra! Thank you for sharing😉 Can you advice please: do you use the Argirilene and Matrilixil mix daily AM and PM? How many drops of each every time? When do you apply it in your routine, after the toner? Thank you 😊
@@victoriakieu2546 drops two of each, use it mornings, i wash my face, than toner and than apply mix and on top moistoraizer! works perfect! Evening i use retinol 0.5 in squalane not every evening and vitamin C and moistoraizer.... one day one on other day another! I dont like to think in morning there routine is same but evenings depend on my mood and how skin looks and feel! 😊
@@antrakasa1915 Thank you Dear! Wonderful tips 🥰 Wishing you to stay healthy and always have a flawless skin 😉
Dear Gemma, I am in LOVE with your Channel! Thank you for all your recommendations, I am Amuzed!! I am 59 years old and started to look how to take care my skin and wrinkles as I am aging and I have a lot lines... Do you have a video about how to use a daily routine with the Ordinary Products and other products you suggested, I appreciate 🙏
I got a little bored with The Ordinary for a while, but it’s made a comeback. I love the squalane cleanser and use it every day, often as a one-and-done cleanser. I also love the moisturizer. It’s not rich enough for me on a daily basis (my skin is ridiculously dry right now), but it wears wonderfully under makeup, and even mixes well with makeup. And that anhydrous salicylic acid?? Total game changer for me. I’ve never found a salicylic acid product that I could use with any regularity…until I tried that serum.
Hi Jenessa, what moisturiser are you using? I also have super dry skin and am on the hunt for the right moisturiser 😊
@@Shireenskrobanek at night and most days I use Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide cream. It’s very pricey, but if you get refills from their website with a subscription, that brings the price down to about $37. Still very pricey, but my skin really loves this stuff. Sometimes at night, if I’m feeling really dry, I’ll apply a layer of Avene XeraCalmAD before I go to sleep. It’s really nice and occlusive, but it doesn’t feel too heavy. Plus it comes in a big tube for face and body, so the price per oz is pretty low.
Over the last 2 years I have been wearing facemasks when working at certain units. This has caused my skin no end of issues, breakouts, deep seated tenderness and I have ended up looking like I sniff glue.😶 I discovered (friend at work recommend), Squaline cleanser. Paired with Nicinamide plus zinc my skin appearance changed after a month. I am not disappoint and can not recommend The Ordinary enough, after my tender areas around my mouth and chin disappeared within 3 weeks. I'm so happy I'm not letting this routine slip.
My favourite Ordinary product is the lactic acid. I also like the caffeine solution, amino acid,
Matrixyl.
I had combination to oily skin for which the Natural Moisturiser with HA could be problematic, but I learned that The Ordinary's Niacinimide 10% + Zinc, balances oil production in your skin. I've used it a few years now and you can't go wrong. I mix the niacinimide with the Buffet. It helps with the pilling that I experience when I use the niacinamide on its own.
So honest review , so humble. Love it.
Thanks for the tips on Buffet vs Matrixyl. I've experienced some irritation with the Buffet on occasion. Great video! Your knowledge is so evident... as always💗
This was SO helpful, thank you! I'm 53 and I've been trying different products over the last few years but am considering going back and building a routine from The Ordinary and now I know what I need to get. Yay!
Same. 53, been experimenting but about to get serious..
You got my fav, the azelaic acid ❤️
I had problems with pilling as well in the past but after watching the Dr. Bunting advises to use it after cleansing and toner I never had that problem anymore, no matter how much I apply. I use it after toner, essence and ampoule, so after the fluids in my routine. I let the azelaic acid sink in for 1min and then apply other cremy formulas as my moisturizer or spf in the morning. I usually use it in the evening but this way it also works under makeup. No pilling at all.
I'm new to the game, but I'd love a video or the link to a video of what products can be used together, in the am vs pm and which moisturers can be used with said products. Thanks for the great video.
I love the azelaic acid. It has been a few changer for my rosacea. I used to use it in the morning but it does pill. I switched to night time use. I really don't care if it pills at night and I still get all the benefit. Love it 💕
I love this video and I use Niacinamide and the Matrixyl in the morning but I wanted to know if I can use it at night before I use my Retin A and I always use a moisturizer after I put them on and before the Retin A. I would appreciate any advice from you. 😊
My favourite vitC from the ordinary is the Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, I have SUPER sensitive skin and it does wonders! It's the only non-direct water based vitC that the ordinary does that isn't a powdered suspension
I love the Lancôme all over concealer too! I think it’s great for wearing without foundation, but it’s not super high coverage. It also helps that I found a shade that is the perfect match for my skin tone- 250. Can’t wait to try the Huda concealer, thanks for the review!
For me it is botox in a bottle but in combination with Matrixyl. Unlike with botox where you have no movement, with this combination its reduced.
ALL THIS LINE OF PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING INCREDIBLE AND AFFORTABLES.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m so happy you mentioned the Marine Hyaluronics!! It’s my favorite!! I wish it came in a larger size! I’ll have to try mixing with the EU. Thanks for the video!
What is EU?
@@fishlife7073 Sorry .. I missed a letter. It was the EUK 134 product she mentioned
Oh My gosh I spent over hundred bucks on my skin care, for over ten years, been looking for some skin care that actually works for my skin and cost less money than I spent, I really hope Ordinary products work for me,
I’ve purchased ordinary products a few days ago
Cleanser
Niacinamide
Hyaluronic
Buffet
Moisturizer
very excited to try them on my face
Could you please tell me what to apply step by step in order for daytime routine and nighttime routine
Thx in advance 🙏🙏
I love their mandelic acid. So gentle but it works so nicely.
Thank you so much for enlightening me with this information
I would be grateful if you can tell how to use this products
What comes first and so on
Morning routine and evening routine
I am 66 years old and need my face to tight and wrinkle free
Thank you in advance
I'm just starting which one should I go first pls
Thank you for the info…I too love the Ordinary products..I need to try the More of them.
Thank you! I needed to understand these products’ functions!
53 and very lucky have good skin without much care really except always wear sunblock. Started using the lactic acid 10% and it is amazing! My skin is so clear. Wasn't locking it in with ,moisturiser so will do that from now on. I am very confused about when to do what though and what order to do a routine in. Great video and new subscriber!
I love love love the Ethylated Ascorbic Acid variant of the vitamin c serums. Note, I have only used NIOD's EAA serum. But, from what I can tell, the Ordinary's version is pretty much the same formulation, just at a lower percentage and without some additional antioxidants. But, those formulations are my vit c go-to's. I also used TO's Ascorbic Acid serum. Has the same base as the EAA serum and worked well, but was a little more irritating. I don't recall ever experiencing any irritation with the EAA.
Hello Gemma,thank you for this.I like the ordinary products.Because the tips i can use them better,i had the itchines,now i know.A great weekend.
Thanks Gemma, I have saved this to refer back to when I am purchasing.
My favorite vitamine C is Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate solution 20% in Vitamin F
No retinol for me. I tried bakuchiol as it doesn't give me irritation and my skin loves it.
Can you use any of the peptide serums over retinol/tretinoin? And can you tell us what morning and evening routine would be?
Gemma, thank you for another great video. You are by far my fav beauty youtube. I found the video on the Ordinary very helpful. One small request though that I am wondering if some other people might make too. Would you do a follow up on the ordinary where you put together some basic skin care regimes based on the ordinary products that you mentioned? Per skin type ? It would be so helpful because one gets so overwhelmed with so many products and its hard to know what one really needs. They all sound amazing. Thank you and keep up your lovely work.
What do you think of their 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil?
Try the “Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30% Network” from NIOD, which is also an Ordinary Brand. Try it alone first and if your skin can take it, mix it with Vitamin E. It costs about $40 Canadian.
What a lot to ábsorb'!! Never used the Ordinary range, only starting to see it around more.
Nothing much to purchase in our country town in Australia. Thanks for your wonderful
review of so many products. Will follow up on line the various products I noted.
Hi Priceline is the best place you might be able to order online best wishes from Richmond 👍 Australia!
Myer have them too
I’m 65 normal to slightly dry sensitive skin and I’m still searching for a daily and night routine. Have always wanted to try the ordinary products. This helps me understand the different products they offer. To start off with could you please help me decided which products besides the cleanser and moisturizer I should get first. Also I desperately need a good affordable eye cream and or treatment. Love your content and TIA.
Get the glycolic toner. Patch test it on the neck or cheek. You can literally see a difference within days.
Loved this video. I use the Ordinary products in my skin care routine and love it.
I having been using the Buffet for years and no issues...love the Ordinary products. Thanks for sharing this video.
I really suggest trying the Buffet with copper peptides, it has made a huge improvement over the one without. Science on copper peptides is amazing and well researched, and they’re usual much more expensive.
Interested in the use of glycolic acid in the body. Must get a refill. Great content. Xx
I'm only two months into building my skincare routine and what got me started was getting an RX for treninoin. Due to side effects such as dry red skin and peeling then began my journey of proper skincare.
My favorite two brands are CereVa and The Ordinary so obviously that makes me a value shopper. You mentioned a few products I use like the niacinamide serum and azelaic acid and they are both great. I have a few more on the way that were not available for sale at my local Ulta. Happy New Year!
I use the vitamin C from the ordinary you suggested years ago and I love it.
Hi mam, you are so elegant and classy, the clean makeup look is something I love .
Would you recommend the buffet multi peptide over the buffet+ copper peptides %1 serum?
Julie Norton
I am just starting with the Ordinary products and have heard great things about the products. I am a little confused with what to apply first, second, etc... What products to mix and not mix. Your help will be greatly appreciated. 😊
Hi, I'm rather new to these products I'm 63 and have oily mature skin, haven't thought about anti aging skin products until a few months ago. I love all the products that of have been using for a month, I need advice on what should I try next? Thanks and I really enjoy your videos
Kläirs C drop 😇 (not from the ordinary, but if you want to prove). Love The Ordinary not pretentious packages 😍
Hi. Very informative video. I have just started with a few of the products and am liking them so far. Will be trying the argireline and see if I get a bit of help with my forehead lines. Oh to be 20 again 😂
Hi I really would like to try this brand , but I am scare to mix them and then have a terrible results or burn my skin.
Do you have a tutorial about what products to use and mix with what products of the same brand?
Thanks 🙏🏻
Great video.. thanks 😊. I currently use the squalene oil and glycolic toner ( I love that stuff). In the past, I’ve used the azaelic acid and did not like the consistency either..glad to hear I’m not the only one. Alpha arbutin did nothing for me, but I may not have given it enough time. I currently use Mandelic acid from Inkey along with Ambi, and so far, noticing small changes.
Thanks for the informative video! I have been using the Ordinary products for sometime now and always seem to go back to them. I really like the Ascorbyl Glucoside 12% serum, very gentle and soaks in nicely. I also use the Resveratol serum every few days and mix it with moisturizer. It makes my skin glow and doesn't affect foundation application if you give it time to sink in. I read somewhere that it is a good antioxidant as well. I also enjoy the Ordinary Rosehip oil and find it is a good value at the price point. Tried the Alpha Arbutin on an old sun spot and didn't really work for me. I didn't care for the texture, too oily and not really effective. Otherwise, love the Ordinary products overall!
Hello 👋🏽, I am new to your channel. This is a great educational video. Thank you for this valuable resource. My skin also does not agree with vitamin C & vs versa. I can relate. New to my skin regimen is the Argireline & Matrixyl serums. I absolutely love the combination. I have noticed my skin is smoother & firmer including my neck. Thank you for letting me know that I can use these two products with Tretinoin. Your complexion is gorgeous. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
I’m very overwhelmed. I’m wanting to update my skincare routine but really don’t know where to start. I’m 63 and have used tretinoin for many years. I currently am liking the Curology which is .05 tretinoin, Azelaic Acid 5% and Niacinimide 4% almost every night. I also like Curology cleanser and moisturizer. I have recently added their brand of SPF. I saw a TH-cam video recommending the Ordinary lash/brow boost which I am trying as well as their Niacinimide 10% + zinc. I’m using Timeless vitamin C with the Niacinimide in the mornings underneath my moisturizer and sunscreen. As I said before it’s kind of overwhelming! I live in Florida and love the beach and pool. I want the biggest bang for my buck and easiest routine. Can you give me advice on a routine? What routine does your beautiful mother follow? Would love to stick with the Ordinary if possible. Thank you Gemma!
Love Argeraline from The Ordinary. It has helped my skin inmensly
Best vitamin C product by The Ordinary is the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%!
Hi Gemma another great video 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺
If I buy & use the 2 Ordinary products you recommend, the Argireline & the EUK 134, how do you mix the to mimic your other product that is pricey? Do you just mix a couple of drops on your fingers like I’ve been doing with the Niacinamide & Matrixyl? Or do you pour equal amounts into another bottle & mix it? Please let me know. Also, should I then not use the Niacinamide/Matrixyl combo I have been using both day & night (except when I’m applying my Tretinoin)? I appreciate the instructions!
Well said and
Fully explained!!! Bravo Lovey! ❤️
Thank you! More to come?🧠👏👏🙏
My favourite vitamin C (not from TO) is C-glow from Geek and Gorgeus - it is 15%, with Ferulic acid and vitamin E. Much more affordable than the Skinceuticals 🙂
Revox Just has an Azelaic acid suspension 10% which feels a lot better than TO.
Love when you do skincare videos😀
Have this vitamin C on my list to try and I absolutely love the Revox Just products as well :-)
So so helpful especially when the Ordinary has sales and I want to stock up. Like someone said with their long list it gets confusing.
Gemma you have to try geek and gorgeous vit c. It’s so good and it’s the only one that doesn’t irritate my skin 💕
Thank you! Lots of info to digest in this one. Also you look amazing in this video! Would love to know what products you wore today?! Lastly, would love to know your thoughts on Inkey List products, they seem similar in concept to The Ordinary - is Inkey List available in the UK? 💕 your channel you have gotten me to up my skin care and makeup game!
Gemma has mentioned the Inkey List on her channel and has used some of their products. I think one of her favorites is the oat cleanser from them. ☺️
You can't beat botox for smooth skin. You get instant results.
@@Tracey_Lee Not many people can afford $500 + botox right now, with the economy, and crazy gas prices around the world
@@EnvyBlu I’m immune to Botox after using it for years of use
Hi, you mentioned you were going to add a link from the Ordinary’s
page that showed what you should and shouldn’t mix. I don’t see that, am I missing it?
hi, where are the list of all the products you talked about in this video? thank you for sharing.
Hallo, thank you ❤️. I use several of these. Great review.
Well too late, I bought almost all of them😂! I do love them
Thanks so much for all this information. I would love to know where to start, which 3, alone with the cleanse, would you start with, and then I can build from there, I am not asking which products, I would like to know from which 3 groups should I focus on first. Acids? Antioxidant? Peptide? Thanks
Great video very informative as always...thanks x
