Too Much The Ordinary Is Not A Good Thing...

[This was a HIGHLY requested video.]

I don't hate The Ordinary! I don't necessarily love it either, but I do believe it serves a very important role in the skincare industry. Times are changing and people are getting a lot more educated about the ingredients in their products. This brand is all about accessibility and transparency. It also requires YOU the consumer to be very proactive about educating yourself.

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane

NIOD Multi Molecular Hyaluronic Complex 2

The Chemistry Brand Retin-Oil

y'all if you email the ordinary and tell them what products you use they'll give you a full skincare routine and tell you the order in which you apply the products and how to alternate between them etc

[arelystar]

The ordinary website literally explains every product to the fullest. They always have in the description what to mix it with, what NOT to mix it with, how often to use it. I’ve been using them for 4 years and it has changed my skin dramatically. For the better of course. So read through each product!

[armiichouful]

So many people freaking out!! She didn’t say « stop using The Ordinary, it’s bad for your skin! ». She said to be cautious, especially if you’re new to skincare, and don’t use every damn product at once.
So if you bought 2 of their products yesterday, chances are you’re safe!!

I'm so happy I found a black skin care channel ☺️

[mizzsamz]

I can’t believe you have to tell ppl not to use all the products at once. But I get it, it’s so cheap you wanna buy them all to see what works. The Ulta I go to sold out in a couple days when they first started stocking them. I love love love The Ordinary. I started off with just the Niacinamide which greatly reduced my oil production. I just bought a bunch of other products and plan to only use one or two at any given time. And yes there’s lots of great information on the website that’s very helpful. Glad you’re putting this info out there 💕

My skin has been so happy using the ordinary know I got to wait to see whats the tea

[camillea.]

Great information. Really appreciate it. Side note: as a makeup artist I, would recommend that you reconsider your foundation/powder or lighting. Your gorgeous face looks grey compared to your neck and chest.

I am so happy she talked about the eye dropper, I always found it gross whenever I saw people putting it on their face. I love the ordinary but because I am really into skin care I make it my business to know what I am putting on my face. Great video! Also don’t forget sunscreen people!

[mirafawn]

I'm so glad someone is saying this 👏❤. But yes, exactly *everyone* she's not saying to stop using the brand. She's just saying to know your stuff. Watch till end 😘

[dr.parissadd]

Yes Yes and Yes.... As an avid skincare junkie, I've come to learn that less is MORE. And this is coming from a oily/combo skin person!! Great video. Even though I'm oily, hydrating has made a world of a difference.

I won't lie, almost my entire skincare regimen consists of The Ordinary, aside from my cleansers. BUT, as she said, you have to know what you're doing when mixing products. I've used vitamin c and retinoid in more potent formulas in the past, so my skin had an easy time transitioning to their products. It's also important to remember that it can't reAlly cure hormonal acne, but it can help improve skin texture and health to make it more manageable.

I use, in this order:

AM Routine
-Rinse face with cool water or Shishedo Oil Cleanser
-The Ordinary Hylauronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
-The Ordinary (Vitamin C Serum) Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate 20% + Vitamin F
-Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry Touch Sunscreen
-The Ordinary "B" Oil

PM Routine
-Double Cleanse with Shishedo Oil Cleanser and Mario Badusce Seaweed Cleanser
-The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
-The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% + Squalene Oil
-The Ordinary "B" Oil
-Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream

Occasionally I'll use their Caffeine Under Eye Solution if I didn't sleep well, or their Niacinimide Solution, but usually only when I run out of Retinoid and am waiting for it to arrive. It's a decent place holder to keep my acne from flaring up.

Good info. I gave up on The Ordinary and acids after using the products consistently for a year and so no change in my hyperpigmentation. I also got fed up of opening and closing all those silly little bottles lol. Stripped my regimen right back esp acids. Relying on restoring skin barrier by nice gentle cleansing (iS Clinical) and sunscreen. I'm over the layering and million and one ingredients.

[tintiamilitao]

I mean, if you go to a Deciem store, everyone in the store encourage you to buy one or two products. Even though they have a lot of products, the brand doesn't tell you to buy all, they are always saying you have to keep it simple. People get crazy because is cheap and wants to use it all, but it is not a matter of the brand is more about people being aware of what they want to put in their face.

Great video.

I’ve been using just The Ordinary products for over 2 years now and the change in my skin in incredible. I currently have the best skin I’ve ever had.

♥️

[erinmelia]

So grateful for all of the information you freely share!! It’s been life changing. Thank you!!!!

[jeanmichaels]

My dermatologist went over the ingredients with me. We agreed upon a routine and products. We just need to be intelligent about anything that goes on or in our body. I love the products.

[rontaylor]

omg i saw their cold pressed rosehip oil and i read that it has a lot of linoleic acid in it and i remember you talking about that in your oil cleansing video! thanks to a bunch of research and watching youtubers like you Nay, Hyram and James Welsh have definitely made me more knowledgeable about what skin type i have and what i should do to improve my skin care routine and focus on what problems areas i have!

[LatashaKinnard]

I saw some negative comments and I wonder if they watched the entire video.

This was a very fair and knowledgeable video about using The Ordinary products. Not only was it thoughtful, but it's also exactly what the consumer needs to hear. I watched enough Youtube videos on these products to know that people are doing exactly what she says their doing. From this video alone I want to see this young lady get more airtime. Cheers to you, sis.

I tried the most popular products: Niacinamide and Zinc, toning solution, primer, argireline, peeling solution. Not at the same time but no matter what it was horrible for my skin. I went back to Paula's Choice to to fix the damage.

[ifeomaadeyinka]

Thank you so much for this information. I have only one acid, Salicylic acid, and use it with between Niacinamide (for day) and Vit C suspension (for night) and BOOM! Just those 3 did the magic for me.
