Beauty Product Reviews

Excellent exfoliant!

I used the 5% LA for a while and truly enjoy it being mild enough to use daily. I wanted to try the 10% with my technique of using 2% BHA under and LA over, im my PM regimen. This is a light gel serum which absorbs fast and I can layer a moisturizer easily. It brightens and helps lighten my post acne dark spots. But for me I cant use it daily like the 5% because I start to dry out by 3rd day. Which is expected when using high concentrates. Lactic acid is one of the best AHAs because it is less harsh than retinol. And at this price, you should keep this in your skincare arsenal as a reliable anti-aging tool

This very light texture helped keep my skin moisturized during cooler weather and the Vitamin C really lightened! No side effects and my acne scars started fading after 2-3 weeks. This light jojoba oil-based Vitamin C also has tomato extract which is an excellent antioxidant against sun exposure!

THE BEST WRINKLE PREVENTER!!

I have used Argireline for years on and off from another, pricier, brand at 10% concentrate in a thick serum. Argireline WORKS! But now, The Ordinary has perfected the carrier method into a water-like formula! Which is genius because the peptides are immediately absorbed into the skin when used first thing after cleansing. Using the other brand sometimes left me with clogged pores. But this is by far the most superior Argireline I have ever used. You will even notice a tightening of the area. I call this "liquid botox" because it contacts the motion muscles to prevent the creasing that becomes a weinkle. I transfer mine into an empty pump bottle so I can dispense minimal amounts and use on forehead lines, outter corners of the eyes, and smile lines. AM & PM, on clean skin, I use just a drop, and I smooth this over each target area until absorbed. Within 2 weeks I noticed these line gone! I tested going without this and the lines came back. Luckily this works fast and have continued using this without fail daily.

A classic oil done right!

This PURE rose hip oil has many benefits for the skin. I like using this at night when I need extra hydration. Excellent for dry patches, I spot treat with this before sealing it with a moisturizer.

Year-round hydrator!

This is an excellent way to add some moisture to your skin without necessarily using a thick moisturizer. This light serum work well alone over skin or mixed with other serums and give a boost to moisturizers. I always find it gives me a supple hydrated bounce to my skin. Wear well throught the day and never pills up.

My trusted lactic acid

This mild yet effective AHA , layed over a 2% BHA (which The Ordinary now carries!) is my favorite way to exfoliate. I always wake up with bright skin AND it dissolves my blackheads and whiteheads! Just enough % to get the job done without drying. LOVE this!

Retinol without irritation!

For those who would like to introduce retinol into the regimen OR would like to use it on a regular basis but without over drying the epidermis, this is an excellent product to use! I use this several nights week and can count on glowing results in the morning without irritation.
