Hope you enjoyed! ❤ *Here is an update on 3 things people keep getting wrong about The Ordinary* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FSAmsWddE1Y.htmlsi=77jVVHi_a4iBJz6_
Holy cow- The fact that you put this much work into a video that isn’t even sponsored by the ordinary is crazy. Im so glad I found your channel! ( I don’t mind sponsored content AT ALL- of course but it’s nice to see something so exhaustive on one brand and know that it’s totally not influenced by anything)
If you think she isn't getting paid by The Ordinary, think again! These creators get paid lots of more money! By saying its not a sponsored video, think about it if it was sponsored and the person was selling it to you like how she is informing you of these products (overly excited, like she's on meth and the ordinary is her Meth) you would think this person is trying to pull a fast one on me but since she says it's not sponsored you think she just LOVESSS these products
@@Nehemiahsaved I don’t think sponsored videos are always someone pulling a fast one- There are a lot of influencers out there- I don’t think they are all the same. I hope she’s making a ton of money. I’ve been watching her for forever and It looks like she puts a lot of effort into her work.
Love your work Cassandra! I love The Ordinary, and would love to see more presentations on aging skin, and The Ordinary, and what products target tone and wrinkles.
Thank god for you beautiful! Such a beautiful person funny and so so so smart you've changed my life I'm 28 and struggle with acne badly since I was 24-25 forever learning from you thank you!
This is DEDICATION! I appreciate your videos, Cassandra. I have almost every product from The Ordinary that Ulta carries, and I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!!!
this is the ultimate guid to the ordinary especially for beginners wish i saw this video before mixing the aha bha mask with the lactic acid it stung my skin so bad😭
Thanks so much as always for sharing your knowledge Cassandra. I’m surprised that the ordinary doesn’t already have a spokesperson saying all this in a video. You could definitely be that person.
I really love to mix my TO vitamin C powder with TO Marine HA or Alpha Arbutin. I use this combination everyday during day time. It really works well with my combination skin. Hormonal acne and PIH reduced.
Using Lactic Acid in the same routine with Niacinamide gave me such a reaction. It burned! Took me a while to figure out that this was the problem. This video is so informative.
hi! i was thinking about getting the lactic acid 10%, but i use niacinamide in the mornings. could i use the lactic acid in the evening so i don't mix them?
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm literally sitting here with you on my TV, notebook in hand lol. I'm sorry I keep pausing you, but I can't write that fast🤣 I have a few friends who ask me about The Ordinary and their skin types are different than mine, but this helps so much!! You're the best and I'm so glad I found your channel.
So I've been using The Ordinary Mandelic Acid + Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense which has Kojic Acid and transexamic acid + The Buffet every night. Gosh! I'm gonna start from scratch with my PM skincare routine.
I’m officially a skin nerd!!! I have a question, I’ve recently incorporated the 23% vit c with 2% Ha in to my routine. However, there’s mixed messages on when it should be used in your routine due to it being non-water and non-oil. I’ve read it should be used first as it has a low PH and I’ve also read it should be used after serums including hyaluronic acid as this product doesn’t let other products penetrate it once applied. Just wanted to hear your thoughts! This is my routine in order - HA Serum, Vit E, Vit C , Vit E moisturiser. Thank youuuu!❤️
Thank you for all this info... and your time to put it together.! Cassandra please make it a bit easier on the older people and have photos of all layering products in the Right Sequence so we know exactly how to layer with just one look of your photo... thank you again
I want to get a skincare routine but I have no idea where to start. It’s so overwhelming with all the choices . This video was amazing and I’ve saved it to my watch later so I can come back and reference.
Thank you very much for all the details, really helped me alot. Can you guide me regarding the products in case of melasma or hyperpigmentation around cheekbone and forehead areas, despite of procedures such as mesotherapy or derma pen..
I had a bad experience with "B" oil and Resveratrol 3% from The Ordinary and tried to find out what was the problem. I found your videos and really .... I started to include your videos in my daily skin routine ;)
I love the video! Just one question though. When I apply the antioxidants, does that mean I have to wait a bit before applying my moisturizer/sunscreen?
i have the pycnogenol and i always mix a drop in with my moisturizer (at night).. if you scroll through the comments, someone that works for deciem just said that it's ok to do
I love your vids!! So informative! Can you please do a review on IS Clinical products please? They get a lot of hype but very expensive! So would be great to know your thoughts.
Cassandra I appreciate the research and work you put on this video. With that said it would be amazing if at some point you'd be able to do a similar video but with non-ordinary products but instead with the most common actives and skin care products out there. For example one of my biggest questions which I havent found a clear answer on, how long should I wait to apply vitamin C if I had used a benzoyl peroxide wash prior? What are the waiting windows between applying two active ingredients that dont get along? Relationship between Active wash formulations and leave- in formulations together etc. And things of that sort would be helpful for a lot of us who just dont know much about the chemistry of the common skin care ingredients. Again thanks for all you do!
Hey Cassandra, firstly thank you so so much for making this video! It has been so informative and helpful and I so appreciate it! After an online consultation with a representative from The Ordinary to figure out what products would target my concerns of anti ageing, redness, dullness, sensitivity, oily t zone, breakouts and signs of fatigue, they recommended the following products for me: Marine Hyaluronics Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Moisturiser Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Marine Hyaluronics Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% They also specified I could incorporate Buffet into my routine as I'd heard great things about it and really wanted to try it. I inquired about squalene also but the representative said they they felt the 100% Cold Pressed Rose Hip Oil would probably be more appropriate for me. My question is whether I could use a Squalene cleanser at the beginning of my routine? I'm kind of having trouble figuring out which products are my cleanser, which are my toner, and which are my moisturiser in the general skin care regime and whether I'm missing a product that is a toner or a cleanser (if that makes any sense?) I've never worked with acids before and such and am new to The Ordinary so would be so grateful for your feedback on these recommendations and in regards to my question xoxo
I work night shift. I'm trying to figure out what I should be using in my skin care routine. Also need to know when I should put sun screen on? I washed my face before I left for work. After I put my toner, serum's, moisturizer on I put on a sunscreen moisturizer.
thank you so so much for this incredibly helpful video. I love your way of explaining things, easy and clear. I'm new to your channel so I just subscribed and liked the video. hope you have a wonderful day! take care!
I soooooo wish you were my neighbour I'd just be a few feet away to calling in and get you to help me do up list of products I may need and help me do am and PM routine !!! Because I'm definity realising I need help as thers sooooooo many products I want. Lol x
If I have dry and flaky skin and sit in the AC all day long in the office, can I still use hyaluronic acid and niacinamide? Am a little confused because I’ve read that they’re good for hydration but I’ve also read that HA is dehydrating and you mentioned niacinamide tells my skin to stop producing natural sebum. ❤️ TIA
To clarify- you could use vitamin C and niacinamide together if they weren't from The Ordinary's line. It has to do with their specific formulations. Yes?
I love this so much and thank you for your hard-work. This helped me be able to pick what to do. Can you please make a video explaining all the products benefits to the skin and for skin types? Ex: Like why the oils are important etc for different skin types. Would love to know the best products to use and buy cause we never really hear from the ordinary’s less popular products. Thank you!
Thank you for all the information! I watched your AM vs PM video and saw that it’s recommended to use the glycolic acid toner and retinol at nighttime. However, I know it’s not the best to use them at the same time. I would like to incorporate both of these products in my routine, do you have any suggestions on how I can use them both without having them both effective each-other?
Hi Cassandra, l loooove your videos. But with this one it is for me very hard to follow which product you talk about at the moment. Can you maybe... please.... put on the screen name of the product you just talk about?
I'm totally confused now! I think that I need a science degree to even choose an Ordinary product. I thought I'd give The Ordinary a try, but after watching your video, I truly don't think I'm brave enough to try them - too many products and too many that do and don't "play nice" with others. I didn't realise there were sooo many different products out there! I've been using Retin-A prescription cream, then Hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin, then after waiting for the hyaluronic acid serum to be absorbed, Collagen serum, and then Vitamin C serum ... to end with a cream moisturiser. The only difference between my morning & nighttime routine is to leave out the Retin-A in the morning. I've just been using the Piping Rock brands. This is about as complex as my baby boomer generation uses, and I'm probably in the minority that even uses this level of skincare. Most women in my generation didn't grow up with all of these products. If we had acne in our teens, then we'd try various products, but once we were wearing make-up, if we were clued up, then we'd use just a basic Ponds Oil of Ulan cold cream to remove it and that was it. However, we're now aware that we need to add sunscreen into the mix as we didn't know about damage from the sun. My generation of Australian was pretty well raised to worship the sun and we spent all of our weekends at the beach. The only thing we used was zinc cream on our shoulders & on our noses but we weren't given any sympathy if we spent too long in the sun and came home with bad sunburn that led to peeling. We all tried to get a tan, and I don't mean one out of a bottle which is probably why so many in my generation have had melanomas. However, there wasn't a big hole in the Ozone layer that there is now. I was just fortunate not to like lying out in the sun getting all hot & sticky. It would have been good if you had said what each product did, then why you'd use them, and which stage of the routine. I'm 69 and people usually think that I'm early to mid-'50s... and that's with the routine that I've stated above. I had no idea there were so many products. Surely we all have the same skin, just some with oily, dry, or combination skin. Why is it necessary to have so many products??
Wow! Sh'e's incredibly smart but can I just have a simple, "Do this" list? I'm giving up on The Ordinary products and going back to my much more expensive but not so complicated approach.
Thank you for all the work with this company. I have recently discover vitamin E/tocopherol topically causes breakouts and raw lesion like areas. I have tried to read labels, but it is difficult because it seems to be in everything especially skin care. What products can you recommend that dont contain this ingredient?
Thank you for this in depth explanation! I stumbled upon your videos on fb by accident & since then I’ve been binging your videos & hoping to find a great skin care routine for not only myself but my mom & my 10 yro who is absolutely OBSESSED & amazing at makeup, then last but not least my 13 yro who has some acne. What other brands or products do you recommend for the Pycnogenol for someone who is allergic to pine.
I was wondering if you could tell me if the regimen I'm using is ok? AM: Cleanse with inkey list fulvic acid cleanser - TO niacinamide serum - TO Hyaluronic acid - Shiseido serum - Requil HA + Ceramides - minimalist spf 60 sunscreen PM: Cleanse - TO niacinamide serum - TO Hyaluronic acid serum - now here can I use 0.025% tretinoin cream? - Requil face cream
you said the hydrators and oils can be used with mostly anything. Does that mean we use marine hydraulics and hyaluronic acid + b5 with pycnogenol 5% (because the first ingredient for them is water)? Should we wait a little before putting it on?
Thank you for the awesome video ! It was quite interesting to watch , even I am just a skin care beginner:) I would like to ask you advice. Can i use THE ORDINARY HYALURONIC ACID 2% + B5 and THE ORDINARY VITAMIN C SUSPENSION 30% IN SILICONE in the evening routine? I am sorry if my question is too silly ...
On the website it said we should mix 3% resveratrol with vitamin C to get a strong anti-oxidant. So I mix it with the 12% vitamin c water-based derivatives. It is a really nice texture but now watching this video I learned I should mixed them..... but using resveratrol itself is tooooooo greasy ... hmmm now I don’t know what to do. Can I mix it with cerave lotion?
Unfortunately both ferulic acid and resveratol and salycilic acid are out of stock from their official website! It has been quite a time now, it is a pity if they start this sort of approach!
Help, Cassandra! I'm a skincare noob! When you say to not mix certain products together, do you mean not putting them on your skin at the same time (like rubbing them in simultaneously), or literally put them on at different times of day or different days entirely? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.
🌿🌸 Cassandra, for the love of God, now I need help with my skincare routine. I'm so confused and I just ordered a bunch of the ordinary products. Could you please help me put them in order and tell me why so I know which ones to not mix? I know half of what I'm supposed to do and the other half Im confused on. I'm waving my distress flag 🏳️😭I thought I came up with a perfect yet simple routine but I need help.🌸🌿 My skincare products are: (The ordinary) 👇 Salisylic acid, niamacide +zinc, granactive retinoid, retinol, squaline cleanser (Different brands) 👇 cleanser, toner, vitamin C serum, hyloronic acid serum, moisturizer, 50+ sunblock I switch up my cleanser, toner and moisturizer as needed.
Hi! I just started using AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Just wanna ask if I can also use the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 at the same time? And if it’s okay even if I have oily skin
New to skincare this is amazing!! I have oily acne prone skin w hyperpigmentation. I use cetaphil cleanser + ordinary niacinamide + ordinary moisturizing HA and i just added ordinary's salicyclic acid and the eye caffeine serum. Is that right- should I have gotten glycolic acid or arbutrin instead? So many options😭
so i have.. Squalane Cleanser, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, "Buffet", Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion i didn't fell like i got enough answers in the vid.. which of these can/should i combine.. and which shouldn't mix. ?? XD
Idk if anyone will see this but I have a question. When she says you can’t mix two products, does she mean that you should layer one after the other or you can’t use those two products in the same routine at all?? For example, if on, say, a Friday I used the aha bha peeling solution, would I be able to use another acid on Saturday or Sunday? Or should I not use any conflicting acids in my routine at all??
