THE ORDINARY: 23% off Sale AND Best & Worst Products for 2022!

What are your thoughts on TO's niacinamide 10% + zinc?

Can you use the buffet with any other products from the ordinary?

Have you tried Amino Acid + B5? If so, how do you think about it? Thank you!

I was a ordinary hater lol 😂 I just came around to a few loves phynogenal love to put a drop or 2 in the purito unscented centella serum argeline serum sold out super fast I tried to get it seemed like everything is sold out but for once except the CP serums. I got the ordinary CP serum never tried it, I hated buffet they changed the price it was 23$ in the sale the same as the copper one ? Weird makes no sense I got the lactic acid 5% it was ahh to me got the peel wasn't impressed I was about the Babyfacial even the Sephora aha BHA PHA mask dupe is good didn't like the ordinary mask , so u can see how I was not much of a fan and niacinamide and HA never interested me it's in everything. I got the hair peptide serum went back to get another sold out..lol I do love Niod though, the mist is amazing I want to get another bottle love the survival 0 use it every morning cause I can't use vita c love mod glucoside serum I am lusting over the copper peptide 3 serum still debating on getting it but I got the ordinary CP I should have just put the money I spent on that toward the Niod one ,I also want to try the biosionse CP to I been lusting over. I was thinking of getting the ordinary squalene cleanser everyone says it's amazing and cheap but I got the biosionse elderberry jelly squalene one 1 actually I wondering if it's similar.
I am still trying to love L ascorbic why my skin doesn't like it I'm still trying to find one my skin will take to timeless I could use a few times a week but that was it also retinol Trent is another item I want to love but my skin doesn't 😭 I really want to try azalaic acid I don't think I ever tried it but I wanted the apad serum. They lowered their free ship threshold to 62.63 us now instead of 89 makes it alittle less of a blow I was so sad I was maken my order and all the sudden sale was gone it was like what ??.it lasted a few hours or something I never seen anything like it good thing they already have good prices. O I wanted to ask u about the isntree chestnut BHA toner do u think it's a better option the the PC BHA liquid I love it but it's feels alittle strong for me maybe and I was thinking about the chestnut one could be good results just alittle more gentle . Also really wanting the new Isntree LHA jelly oil cleanser. O did u k ow that the roundlab birch juice line people actually can be allergic to the birch if u have tree dustmite allergies or grass stuff like that it could give u a reaction that's why I haven't tried cause I'm allergic to all that crap but I want to try but I'm like is the risk worth it , I am thinking that alot lately is the risk worth it.

Love your hair like this :)

The Ordinary is hard because they really do try to advocate for people researching their products and asking for help so they don’t use their products and hurt their skin, but people just don’t take the time or care to actually do so. The marine hyaluronics and buffet were a game changer for me, the niacinamide too!

Hahaha (a) THIS is the last video before the recent top 10 that I started watching and didn't finish! So far behind. (B) I'm going to have that Butterfly song in my head forever. (C) I am a Matrixyl and Argireline devotee. Nothing about either my personal philosophy or my family's financial situation says "BOTOX." But I do notice an impact on my forehead. You know I don't hate my lines or anything about my face but I do like a bit of smoothing! Finally, D HOLY WOWZA this hair tone/makeup colors combo is fire. So good. Ethereal?

I don’t have sensitive skin at all so the bha peel works wonders for me, I only use it once every 2 weeks for 7 minutes and bc it’s a chemical peel I used 80+ spf for the first week after and then my normal 30 spf.

Great idea to use the AHA/BHA on the feet….brilliant!

I may need to grab that glycolic acid for us to try, sounds great for the body! I as well enjoy scents (as long as not too strong as I actually get headaches from some scents or I react as sensitive. 😢). No issues with a scented cleanser, or shampoo and conditioner (unless too strong florals). I have to try, as really miss wearing perfume, so I will take what I can use that is scented! 🙈🤪
Thanks for great video!

I am still using Buffet, but feeling like I want to add the 10%Argireline Solution, double duty! 🙈😂

Thank you so very much for your recommendations and descriptions of product properties. Because of your research, you have saved me alot of time and eliminated some (not all, cuz its the nature of this beast) indecision! I love your videos, and your approach and thought processes, Alice.

I ordered TO Brow Serum , Lactic Acid 10% , Mandelic 10% and Pycnogenal 5% . Qualified for free shipping too and saved £8 . ❤

The song you’re singing is Butterfly by Crazytown.

Can you do best of Niod?

Their sunscreen is bad, wouldn't recommend, that's if they still make it.

Me and the Ordinary are very hit and miss. Luv your hair. Love that song. It will be in my head for days now! Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️

Hi. Me and my fur baby are both sick! ❌️⭕️

With argireline I noticed nothing for tiny smile lines or 11 lines after months . For brow area what I noticed was a very heavy feeling . Like it was pulling down. I'd had feeling for months before I wondered if it could possibly be the cause. I stopped for a few months only added back in on 11 lines. No weight but still no change to lines though they are very light. I want to test on whole forehead again but don't want that feeling back. I could find no one else online saying they have had that.

Recently swapped out my timeless vitamin c for the ordinary pycnogenol. Do you have any thoughts on that product?

I enjoy watching your videos so much. :)

Same girl! Before tretinoin, I’d gotten the ordinary peel and another from a brand we don’t name on this channel, which was a 20% aha 5% bha mask and I can’t use either of them. 🙄😵‍💫 like, that’s fine. I prefer the retinoid over strong peels anyway…but like one of them cost $$$. A waste.

Can you make a video about tretinoin? I would love to see what you'd use in the day time and night time while you use Retin A. Thank you!

I recently started using the Argireline and I am so impressed. Thoughts on mixing it with the matrixyl (as opposed to layering)? I've heard a number of people say they do that and the argireline, but I wonder how that impacts the efficacy. I'm debating whether or not to pick up the og buffet in the sale because I like the ingredients but found the formula tended to pill and didn't spread particularly easily. I love the buffet + copper peptides (and find it more elegant), but since your video and reading some other things i've gotten a bit more cautious with using it, and it might become even less because i think i need to incorporate a bha for the summer (I think the increased number of sunscreen applications is causing some issues).

For the products i've used my ratings would be pretty much the same. Love the peptide serums even if I wish the buffet in particular was more cosmetically elegant. My personal experience with the squalene cleanser was just okay but I can see it being good for others. The azelaic acid came through clutch after a bout of cystic acne in terms of helping with pie but the texture is soooo inelegant. definitely nighttime only. For me the retinol in squalane was "worst", but i know others who swear by it. it just did not agree with my skin—more irritating than stronger formulas i've used with less impact and I found it difficult to spread.

I would put the marula oil in the good category. I haven't tried the chia seed but I'm intrigued. I think I will pick up the marine hyaluronics to try too!

I'm so glad I haven't had issues with fragrance in hair care products because they bring me great joy (the joy others get with the fragrant skincare I avoid), but I think it is great that effective and affordable fragrance-free options exist!

If you are intersted in NIOD, I recommend the Survival 0! Warning that it will probably slightly tint your skin (similar to how stratia liquid gold can) but I love it. Such a wonderful assortment of antioxidants.

You are my favourite 💞. Besttt skincare channel.

Omg your hair looks lovely! Like a molten river of Copper and Silver blending in together! ( although I do understand it's actually a beautiful shade of purple)😍😍😍💜💜💜💜💜 Happy Pride, Alice! 🥰💜💙💚💛🧡❤

I am curious how you compare the amino acid serum?

I ordered 2 bottles of the modulating glucosides the second I got the sale announcement email

Love the hair. I didn't fall for the great prices on the glycolic peel and the toner I would have ripped my face off. I like matrixyl, I get red with Argeriline and I can't stand the other faves because they peel or they are sticky AF🤷🏽 I will try the lash serum though

Not a fan of ordinary but love niod

How do you feel about the lactic acid?

Come milady, come come milady. Your my buttafly, my suga, my baby... It's gonna be in head now, haha. That blush is so pretty, it looks great on you!

Do you have any niod recommendations?

Great Video, Keep up the Good Work.

I was really thinking I was the only person left on earth who doesn't apply Argiriline to the entire face... so question: Cos de Baha has a peptide solution that is Argiriline and Martixyl combined so I gotta admit constantly side eying it every time I buy TO two bottles. Any opinions?
And very cool how you just put your sexuality out there. I thunk I am usually an ass about answering about mine just because people make assumptions about a female (especially) who hasn't bothered getting married (and/or staying single...) you know "you're too hot to still be single, you're gay then?" Ugh smh 🙄

You know your purple hair is perfect for pride month since you are ace spectrum!! 💜 just thought about that when you mentioned it lol

People should be able to grow that hair color naturally.

I love The Ordinary SO MUCH, Happy Pride from a gay 🥳

So basically the reason the retinols aren’t as efficacious as you might hope is because of the oil base. Retinoids are lipophilic, so the oil base of it helps to make it less sensitizing for sensitive types.

I do really like the salicylic acid mask. That's what got me to stop messing with the sebaceous filaments in my nose. I used to be bad with the pore strips. But that mask got rid of them and my skin was brighter. I originally just used it on my parts prone to issues, my nose and chin, I had to put that on my whole face. I'm trying some other things right now but I'd totally buy that again.
I do like the caffeine serum to depuff my face, not my eyes. too strong for that but I'm at stage 3 kidney disease so I wake up puffy all the time. That and my ice roller works magic.
Now I'm off to try the peel on my feet. My face rarely needs that much exfoliation. I've never used it for the full time. It's ok for me but it is really strong and not to be messed with.

Placed my order earlier today lol!! B oil, hemi squalane (for lightweight summer emollience!), resveratrol + ferulic and i tried hylamide's glow serum as it looked like an interesting antioxidant serum with glutathione and superoxide disumtase and they were still in stock! Still have to open my superoxide dismutase mist from last sale LOL- the large bottle and 6 month use by time scare me! The marine hyaluronics are lovely as well, i just prefer toner size products with algae because the cost per ounce is generally better, like my fav missha red algae essence! Hope youre staying cool during this heat wave!

I love the hair color on you, very pretty. I have a full size serum, from TO, that came in an Ulta gift with purchase and I can say I haven't picked it up. I'm not sure why and to be honest, I can't even tell you what it is! 😂 LOL💜💜💜

You should try niod too!!

The Ordinary opened an actual store in LA in The Grove recently. It’s so weird to see them having a whole store after being an online brand for years. Well deserved I guess…

This sale took me by surprise but I’m here for it. Also hair & makeup is pretty per usual!

It's Crazytown butterfly 1999..thanks for the info

Can you do NiOD next...

I should be using the 30% on my feet but that color (and the potential for staining) turns me off it.
How did you do it? Did you wipe it off after X minutes or just leave it on and wear dark socks after a while?

Funny story, I actually don't like the Marine Hylaronics...because it's so lightweight that I want it in a big toner bottle so I can do a seven-skins method with it. The 1 oz dropper is too small! Give it the Glycolic Acid bottle! 😭
