I'm obsessed with the peel. I have dry skin and acne and ohhhh my gosh my skin feels so smooth after I use it! It's fascinating how much the skin changes, most of the time I barely feel it on and leave it on a bit long but occasionally I put it on and have to take it straight off again bc it burns, usually at change of season.

I love watching your videos! I just stumbled across one of them and can't stop watching all of them! You are so informative and you are so humble! Thank you for being so sweet and for being so kind to all of us! Keep up the amazing work! 🙌🏼❤️🤗

Thank you for all the information you provide, it truly has made me a skintellectual, and it's all thanks to you! I love your energy and have been watching you for years, sorry I had not subscribed sooner.

I have combo skin (not too oily tzone, rest is either dry or normal, depending on the season), and my skin loves the Niacinamide+Zinc. I put it all over, even the neck, (been using it for years), and it works well even on my dry areas. So I wouldn't limit that product for only oily skin. It really is individual, and I never had irritation from it. Never peels, and works well under other other products, and makeup.

Love the ascorbic acid + alpha arbutin 💞. I tried the pycnogenol because you kept raving about it and I did truly enjoy it.

I use the Ordinary as part of my morning routine. Azelaic acid, alpha arbutin and niacinamide. Great price and great results for mild acne and hyperpigmentation.

How to use these products

I use a few The Ordinary products. I absolutely love the Azeliac acid cream, although the container is deceivingly large, and there isn’t much product in the container. But, it works really well, and I just love the way it feels on my face. I use a ton of actives on my face at night and in the morning, which can make my face really super shiny….so I put Azeliac acid on last, and it instantly cuts down that shine from all my other products I use. I use Revolution Niacinamide, and Vitamin C products. They seem to have higher concentrations than The Ordinary. I also use The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin, although I don’t really know if it’s working for me, or if it’s necessary to use with all my other products 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ But I guess I’ll continue to use it

I have Mediterranean type 4 skin and we are oily skin. Our skin type and features helps us age with grace as they say. And honestly I don’t like products that stop my skin from being its naturally oily self. I don’t like matte looking skin i feel its ages you. So I’m glad you explained the Nia+ zinc. Lop and also for the mustache I recommend plucking and bleaching the hair. Never had any problems with this method.

Wish I was on the west coast. You and Doctorly (and a handful of others) are the reason a 3 year old scarring across my arms from a severe allergic reaction, is almost completely gone. Thank you so much! 🥺

EGCG is quite nice. I did the overall face method and I will say, allow all your products to fully absorb as it can leave a residue (or just like a pasty or crusting of the product). I did notice a film-like effect after applying, so maybe mix it with something? Unsure why it was doing that as it was quite a new bottle, used it for a couple months! Didn't notice any irritation. :) also very cooling on the skin first thing in the morning. EGCG alone is also quite beneficial for so many other things on the skin! I believe it's something that you can actually get the highest concentration of by drinking green tea. I'm definitely one of those people that suffered irritation from niacinamide. I want to reintroduce it though :( so maybe a lower strength will work for me.

YOUR VIDEOS ARE THE BEST ♡

I have dry skin/maybe a bit of combination to ‘normal’ on my T zone but I love niacinamide. Even though I had dry skin I got breakouts but the combination of exfoliators and niacinamide really helped.

I look forward to trying the azelaic acid. I love The Ordinary, including the niacinamide with zinc.

I would love to see you talk about some of the Peach and Lily products, especially the Peach Slices stuff (geared towards teenagers with a lower price point and toward acne prone skin)!

The Niacinamide is amazing!! I went away from it to try a new routine and my face broke out so bad. I went back to the Niacinamide and overnight, my skin was back to normal. I will forever use this every night!

I love ur videos, it helped me a lot to know about the products and to purchase them. I would be great if you make video on ordinary hair serums. I'm facing a severe hair fall 😩

I feel the same way about the niacinamide and zinc solution! 🤣 Been using it for over 2 years! 😍

For oily skin with some degree of hyperpigmentation would you recommend the ordinary alpha arbutin 2% + HA or 10% niacinamide + zinc?

Would you pleeease do a video on SPF on the lips? Is it for instance safe to use your ordinary sunscreen on the lips? Having a hard time finding SPF lip products here in the DK (Denmark).

I don't have oily skin or acne but I do have some pigmentation, so I have been using it recently 2 times a day and I noticed a huge difference. Would it dry out my skin? I don't notice any dryness so far

I *l0VE* how you go into detail to explain & describe what the products do, how they do it, who would & who would not benefit from each & every product depending upon what type of skin one has, or other reasons. You're the first I've seen who actually explains HOW a product works due to the ingredients (which is the only way I'll purchase a product) - I read every single ingredient, & where it is listed 'I've read that the order the ingredients are listed makes a difference- an ingredient listed at the top, according to what I've read in several different articles, the product contains more of it than an ingredient listed further down or last.' Is there any truth to this?¿ You are so good to explain how each ingredient works on your skin, which is, IMO, the most important fact one needs to know - well, I need to know. I want to know - because I'm sooooo analytical about everything 😆. Why would you even use something if you have no idea what it does for your skin, how it does what it does, & honestly tell you whether it would be good for your type of skin or not. Also, I am much more likely to purchase a skincare product if it is backed by a Dermatologist - an actual 'for real' dermatologist. Maybe I'm a bit picky about what I use; however, I have to KNOW as much as possible about something for which I'm paying money because I am so analytical and inquisitive?¿ But that's how God made me! I am aware I am a bit of a nerd/geek, as they say about analytical people. I'm an Accountant, I want to learn as much as possible about practically everything! I want you to know how impressed I am with your extraordinary knowledge of the science behind the make-up of a product, each & every ingredient in it, how much of the active ingredients & inactive ingredients in skin care products (and all products used in or on your body). I am much more intrigued, fascinated & passionate about skincare, haircare, and makeup, than Accounting! Wish I had put more thought into my major in undergrad AND my master's degree in graduate school! Maybe, just maybe, I could be doing what you're doing (not as well as you do, however, I'm certain) than the tedious, boring, easily burn-out progession called Accounting!!! Thank you so much! You're the best 👌💕😘♥️

Can these products be used together? Will using more than one, for more than one problem cause issues?

Thanks for the video but can u apply aplha arbutin for dark spots only at night and during day u don't wear sunscreen , u only apply it at night, and Wat are best less expensive moisturizer to move along with it

What order would you use these products in? Do any not work well with the others?

I LOVE their Resveratrol 3% Ferulic Acid 3% and I’ve stored up on them. I also love their peptide serums and there’s two of them that I use religiously and I mix them. I use the Granactive Retinoid 2% emulsion together with another brand retionic acid/retinal. I often use it with a moisturizer or a night cream with retinyl palmitate and/or bakuchiol and peptides. I use retinols more or less every night and I have The Ordinary’s Granactive Retinoid to thank and praise because it helped me to get used to retinoids without too much redness and irritation. I had a very mild and minimal “retinoization” period. I no longer use the AHA 30% & BHA 2% because I’ve found better alternatives. I never had it on my face for more than five minutes anyway. I don’t use the niacinamide from The Ordinary because there’s better serums with niacinamide and I prefer the Zink pca serum with mushrooms from Q+A. I can recommend the niacinamide from The Inkey List. But!! I love The Ordinary’s Salicylic Axid Anhydrous Solutions and I love using it at my “oil nights” (together with Revolution Skincare Concentration nighttime facial oil - it’s a dupe for the Kiel’s blue bottled nighttime concentration). I also love to use it in my facials and treatments that I do at home 🥰 just like I love using my The Ordinary favourite Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid. The two The Ordinary products that I can recommend, from my heart, are the Resveratrol 3% & Ferulic Acid 3% and the Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution. It will be under $20 for grade A ingredients in a really good concentration. You will be able to give yourself so many nice and top notch facials in the comfort of your own home. Perfect to use with a gua sha or, even better, your fingertips! Take care and have fun! ✌️😽💋 Happy Easter 💗🐣💗 PS: I put pumps on my Granactive Retinoid and my Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid. And that’s because antioxidants as well as retinol should come in contact with oxygen as little as possible. I’ve saved pumps from other serums (primarily from vitamin C serums). I just thought it could be a good and useful advice 😊
