I actually emailed the ordinary a couple years ago and described my skin and sent a photo of my horrible acne. They emailed me back a custom regimen. I ordered everything and my acne that I had been struggling with for tens years almost disappeared in a month.

I want to subscribe 5 million times for this quote alone “cellulite is normal”. God bless you guys!

I would love if you guys talked about your favorite in office treatments like Microneedling, Hydrafacial, lasers, etc!

Their Lactic Acid is seriously a holy grail. I always pair it with The Ordinary's "The Buffet", and it literally transforms my skin texture in real time. Amazing products for the price.

I’m so happy I found this channel. I don’t watch any skin care/derm videos because it’s hard to trust what you see. Doctorly has changed that for me and I’m loving your content! Can’t wait for your next upload.

This is my favorite line because I don't feel like I'm paying for the packaging and you always get so much more!

The only products I now use are from the Ordinary. I use the Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Oil, Niacinamide, Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution. And twice a week I use the AHA/BHA Peel and I gotta say my skin has NEVER looked better. These products are absolute miracle workers and I’m so glad I finally discovered them for myself. I will NEVER use anything else. And the best thing is that you don’t need to use a lot from each of these products so they last a good while. I use my Niacinamide once a day and I’ve had it for almost 2 months!!! It’s amazing how far a lil amount truly goes a long way with these serums. 2-3 drops max is all you need from each serum.

I’d love to see a video on a safe skin care routine for pregnant women (face and belly), reduction of stretch marks (before and after getting them. I’ve learned so much already and adding retinol to my routine has been the best thing I’ve done so far! Keep these videos coming.

I'm 72, and I wish I could post a pic of me after three years of The Ordinary, particularly Buffet with Copper, Niacinamide, and Rx Tretinoin. Weekly, use of the AHA/BHA, Salicylic masque, and Flavanone mud. Love them!

The Ordinary's Most Under-rated Products:
1. Buffet and Buffet & Copper Peptides
2. Amino Acids + B5 serum
3. Marine Hyaluronics (Algae extracts)
4. Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%
5. Alpha Arbutin 2% + Hyaluronic Acid
6. Mandelic Acid 10% + Hyaluronic Acid
These are so so good but always get overlooked by reviewers!

Hey guys. Fellow doc over here. But from another country.
Just wanted to point out, that these “higher” prices for medical grade acids (and your comments about it being expensive because of research and pharmaceutical monopoly)… are only that high in your country (and maybe a few others).
Take for example Insulin. You can buy it for 7 bucks in my city. I’ve heard it can cost 300 USD or more in the Us. That’s not the price of research. That’s the price of pharmaceutical companies abuse.
So, 🙌🏻 for The Ordinary and you, for teaching people about their options!!

I just want to say that because of you wonderful guys, I added azelaic acid into my skincare routine. My skin tends on the dry side. I get annoying hormonal acne in my chin area. Sometimes it looks like I have a red beard. Even when I don't have a breakout, the area is marred by hyperpigmentation. Aannnndd I'm pregnant. So no retinoids or salicylic acid. :( Adding azelaic acid, which I got from The Ordinary due to affordability and I really wanted *this* particular ingredient, has helped tremendously with the acne which has all but disappeared and the hyperpigmentation. THANK YOU for talking about azelaic acid, and thanks for featuring this product, because it really is affordable.

Their niacinamide has been an amazing product for my skin. My skin has really taken on a new dimension since using it. Thanks Guys for the great review ✅

[mrkevinchong]

I just love how honest these two studs are. I use The Ordinary's niacinamide serum but this will be a great guide to expand my skincare routine!

[LoriGreco]

The Niacinamide is the ONLY product that has been effective at diminishing the pigment spots on my hand and face. It's a slow process, but persistence is key!

[auroraruna]

I loved the commentary on cost of research, profit-making pharmaceutical companies and other smaller companies that try to make use of the research to create their own product ranges with different pricing and efficacy. As a consumer, we tend to ignore such details that are definitely noteworthy.

Perfect timing for this video for me as I just purchased several products from The Ordinary - retinol, glycolic toner, niacinamide, lactic acid, and hyaluronic acid. So far have been really liking them but also want the pro advice because their lineup can be a bit daunting with so, so many options. The pricepoint is INSANE when you can get a complete skincare regimen with all the bells and whistles for less than the price of many drugstore brand individual products. As others have chimed in, I’m all for you guys doing more reviews for this brand. I’m a huge lactic acid fan after years of youthful trauma from that damn apricot scrub (*groan*) and the L.A. Is so much more gentle and effective. Great video again guys!

I’ve used the ordinary products and have found no irritation or skin damage. A little goes a long way . Good to know the the retinol one is a good starter . Thanks Doctors

[Donna-cckt]

I’ve used The Ordinary for about 10 years. NEVER disappoints. I’ve made errors but that was on me. It’s a routine that requires patience as do most. I’m devoted now and they work.
