Best of The Ordinary | DOCTORLY Favorites 

I know this is a really late reply but can you tell me what they recommended?

@@Cat-nk2yb I was already using Cetaphil sensitive skin face and body wash they added Morning Hyaluronic Acid Niacinamide Natural moisturizing factors Night Hyaluronic acid Mandelic acid Plant Derived Squalane Natural moisturizing factors

Omg that’s wonderful. I like them a lot. I’m so glad it helped you.

I have been using The Ordinary products for 3 years now and my skin has never looked or felt better ❤️

@Royal Haroon Hi! My best advice is to understand the mechanism behind acne, and focus on eliminating different parts of this mechanism. You need a couple of things to create acne, and sometimes these things happen because of genetics, hormones, puberty, skincare habits etc. Whatever the cause is: try to not stress about it, and teach yourself how acne is formed and how to eliminate some of these parts, so it will be harder for your skin to have acne. What worked for me (33 years old and have had acne for a longgggg time): benzoyl peroxide to kill P. Acnes bacteria. But don’t leave it on overnight because that will cause irritation!! Get a 5% facewash or gel and leave that in your face for 2 minutes in the morning and then wash off. That will kill the bacteria that is essential in forming acne. BP does not have to be expensive. You can try niacinamide which might help with oil production, but that did nothing for me. You can use salicylic acid to clear the pores of oil, but that was always a bit too irritating for me. Instead: glycolic acid works great for me! That helps with clearing the pores a bit as well, as well as exfoliating the dead skin cells and keratin plugs which all helps with keeping pores cleared. So you want to mainly tackle bacteria and build up of oil/dead skin, if you find products that help you with that - that you like - you will be doing a great job already! Remind yourself that you can’t do more than you can, and what is left beyond that is just what it is. Gut health and diet might be important too, but so is not stressing too much, so just try to stay interested in learning about skin and health, and understanding that you can only do your best! You are wonderful the way you are, it’s okay to want to grow and make the best of things and yourself, but don’t forget to breathe and love yourself :). Ps. A mild basic facewash and (SPF) moisturizer is also important, so that you can clean your face without drying it out and moisturize without clogging pores. I personally really love Cerave foaming facewash and Cerave Pm facial moisturizing lotion. I didn’t like The Ordinary moisturizer, but I do love their glycolic acid toner, lactid acid serum and the red peeling solution. You will definitely get glowing skin from these! Paula’s choice SPF products are great for me but a bit more pricey.

Dr Axe has a great video on natural treatments/solutions

🤣🤣🤣

It's normal, but I still HATE having it.

Istg we need to normalize things that are normal

Can you describe the texture you had before and how it changed? I have some texture to my skin and am trying to figure out how to get rid of it. So happy this worked for you!

Wow

@@CherrieWells my skin is a combination between oily (T-zone) and dry. I can’t describe it well other than rough, almost bumpy. Make sure it isn’t too irritating to your skin, but I found pairing it with something super moisturizing to balance its effects. Also, sorry for just now seeing this. Hope it’s not too late and you have it a shot already!

which moisturizer did you pair it with?@@andreagreer9743

@@andreagreer9743 hey did you use the 10 percent one?

Yes!!!

Sameeeee!

same

Yes please! I don’t have a lot of extra money. What procedures would give my dry dull textured skin the most bang for the buck so to speak? 😁

Go watch Penny Smith videos on those.

Thank you for your trust ☺️ that’s literally the most meaningful thing to us - Shah

Literally feel the same way! Only trust Doctorly

Same I just found them and I’ve been binging on their videos.

A You Tube Video, Pampered Wolf, has videos on The Ordinary and the application process. She mainly does cosmetics so look for the ones on The Ordinary. She is a huge fan and really explains the procedure and it’s job. She’s the one I found and fell in love with The Ordinary. I used it for about 10 yrs. Miraculous.

And they’re not bad to look at 😉😊

I had my underarm hair lasered off. I love it!

Good luck

For what it's worth, I stopped eating Gluten and my acne went away.

Retinol is a Vitamin A derivative and so dangerous to use while pregnant. I really hope you haven’t been using that while you’re expecting or even breastfeeding if you plan to!

Dr. Alexis Stephens talks about how azelaic acid and bakuchiol (natural retinol alternative) is safe while pregnant in some videos. She may have specific videos as well, I’d double check. Retinol is definitely not safe!

Retinol is not pregnancy safe!

2 kids zero stretch marks bc i used pure vitamin E "Capsule". Poke a hole in the capsule with a needle & apply directly to the skin/stretch marks. My daughter had horrible red & purple stretch marks that came on almost overnight & after 1 month of using it daily (after bath at bedtime) they shrunk & are white in color. No red/purple. It can prevent them but also is the Absolute BEST if you already have them

In South Africa we have the product Desmastine. I am small framed and have strech marks from picking up weight (buttocks, thighs) but when I had twin I used Dermastine religiously and do not have a single stretch mark over my stomach!

This would be a good review video

Whats your skin type?

as someone who uses 2, 3, 6 on the list, they are all sooooooo amazing, i love the marine hyaluronics over every other hyaluronic acid serum i’ve tried

Which one is bested to be used after u get micro needling? What products are best to be used for ice pick scars & acne scars & other scars? I need help so badly!! I am a cosmetologist for 23 yrs however, i have mostly only done hair throughout my career.

@@michaelhannaford PLSSSSSSS

YESS. Dark spots please!! We can’t get hydroquinone in the states.

@d p got the same and am using the ordinary arbutin for about a month now and it lighten.

@@tkarno4276 true, am recently living in Germany and hydroquinon is ban here so I watched a lot of vids,done some research but finally my half Japanesse friend recommend me this arbutin 2% ha.

What is there to lie about? Honesty is not a virtue in absence of temptation

They feel more transparent than other dermatologist/gurus on RU-vid. Definitely my favourites

@@doctordonnanoble we call that knowledgeable, not honest.

@@ZelenoJabko they are very knowledgeable, but I mean that they seem a lot more transparent when it comes to sponsorships and biases. No one does RU-vid without monetary gain, and it's so disappointing whenever we realize their true purposes behind each video. So far they have been a lot more transparent, disclosing their relationship when reviewing the Selfless line, directly stating who they are sponsored by and why, etc.

@@ZelenoJabko knowledge and honesty aren't synonyms, though. I perfectly get what the other commenter is saying. They educate the public so we don't have to spend crazy money on products that aren't really worth the price tag.

Same here! And so many ingredients are too irritating to use around the eyes. I'd like to know what we can use in that area.

Koko yoga facial

Same here ❤

How long did it take? I always wonder if it will lighted the area AROUND my dark spots which I clearly don't want...

@Nona Shibusa still a work in progress! I started with The Ordinary which has 10% niacinamide but now progressed to the 20% from Paula's Choice. I think it could take a whole year, as mine have been with me for many years and are particularly stubborn on the sides of my face and back of my hands. . I also noticed they started fading when I took collagen.

@@jtidema please read my reply.

For me the Niacinamide serum from The ordinary didn’t really worked on my hyperpigmentation from acne scar, but the Axis-y dark spot correcting glow serum (which contains niacinamide) worked really well in just 2-3 months

Personally I've tried FRB for a whole year with no visible changes to skin (I've mainly tried their vitamin C and chemical exfoliator syrums). So maybe it's ok for people with sensistive skin, but personally not for me.

I have been using some of their milky serums. They make my skin look and feel very plumped and softened.

Mine too, less oiliness, / shine in summer. Just started using it, a month ago, My concern is some say DONT use with Vitamin C, some say DO. I'M a bit confused 😕

My age 22 years can I use niacinamiad

@@mohammadazan9898 yes I’m sure you can 👍

im using it rn and it made me break out the first 2 days

@@angelicamontemayor4904 not for you then 👍

@ shogo, The two of them are Super Fantastic

Also Dr Maxwell & Dr Shah thank you guys so so much for making these skincare videos soooo enjoyable to watch I always laugh with you-you guys just make it so much fun 😅

thx for sharing, this is helpful!

Omg my skin now in this moment is the same as yours like my skin is a sebum factory i had clear skin and just in a sudden way my skin became like this and i am looking for some solutions thank you for your comment

How often do you use it when you just start?

Try their "The buffet" for added moisture with the Lactic Acid. It's a game changer. I also started using their rose hip seed oil a couple weeks ago, and within a week it's cleared my moderate acne. :)

@@andreagreer9743 what order do you cycle these in normally?

i agree! i used to go into the ordinary and just buy everything and have no darn idea how to use a damn thing! im so happy i came across this channel - they really explain it to us like we’re 5 😫

Thank you! PS: We love Olaplex. Currently using No. 3 and 4. in my routine. - Shah

@@Doctorly Oh yes!!

Is it wash off serum like their aha 30% or just leave it like the other serums?

@@squad-vb7bj this one is leave on

And the Insulin crisis... I have found out that the initial scientific creators gave up the pattern to the world for the greater good but now , in certain countries like North America countries, there's a certain heavy monopoly on a life threathening drugs... Such a shame...

They propably will mess it up! loreal messed decleor up, thinned all the formula's & cheap packaging, loreal own most of the cosmetic market, always google' 1st Everyone, I could list too manyyyyyyyy. Ty

@@michaelmike3418 Well, Deciem just announced that they are shuttering a bunch of brands so let's see what they do with The Ordinary now. Also, I love that you are still mad about how they diluted-slash-killed what made Decleor special.
