    I think it’s great that you used the product for 3 months before reviewing it. Very professional in my
    Opinion. You can’t really use a product for 1 week and think you’re going to see a major change.

    Thanks for the review on this! I’ve been eyeing it. Maybe I’m an outlier, but I’ve really liked a few of The Ordinary’s older products / formulations because it’s an easy way for me to add a single skincare ingredient into my routine without upsetting my skin. Although my skin is in much better shape now, I used to be a lot more sensitive and react to things if I tried to introduce too much at once. So I’ve always appreciated their product line for that reason. Ditto for avoiding a lot of nice looking products that have allergens or sensitizing things like some fragrances or oils.

    • @jackdaw99
      @jackdaw99 Před 8 měsíci +7

      Totally, that’s the thing about TO I really love. I can customize not only my routine in general but also adapt on a daily basis if my skin needs more or less of something. Relatively cheap, and generally effective. It’s great.

      That's why I really love The Ordinary too! I don't have to sift through a ton of ingredients and try to guess which one isn't agreeing with me if I don't like it.
      I'm also not one for fancy scents because I'm very headache prone. So the fact that they have basically no smell is perfect for me!

I’m currently on the retinization stage with lots of peeling and some sensitivity here and there, nothing crazy but still present. This serum is very similar to the Niod’s Modulating glucosides, texture and smell wise. It soothes and hydrates my skin really well. Love them both and will continue to repurchase.

    I've been using this serum for a couple of months now. Its made such a difference to my rosacea but the biggest benefit has been to the ecezma I was getting on and around my eyelids. I was having to use steroid cream to help settle it down but once stopping the cream it would return. Since using the serum I haven't had any ecezma. I tired to remember to use it twice daily but I'm not great with my morning routine but I do use it every night and it's made a world of difference. It's worth every penny.

      I'm glad it's working for you around your eyes. Steroids shouldn't be used on the face. Especially, around the eyes.😮 I suffer from psoriasis, which is thankfully under control now. Even when plaques would appear anywhere on my face, I was warned to never apply steroids. Steroids actually break down skin. Anywhere you apply steroids, the layers of skin are destroyed. And because the skin is so very thin, especially around the eyes, it can lead to sores or fissures that will not heal.

    Hi darling!
    I’m a cosmetic skincare formulator and I just have to mention, regarding the wording as “helps skincare barrier” ect.
    We have to use specific wording like this legally, as a cosmetic product, if we word something as “heals acne, heals redness”, it’s considered a drug.
    So even if said cosmetic can actually heal redness, we’re not allowed to mention that on the marketing, only that it “helps the appearance”. It’s so dumb 😅

    I've been prescribed Epiduo for acne (0.1% Adapalene and 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide) and it's been taking a huge toll on my skin... But this serum has really helped me. My skin was red like a tomato, every part of my face was peeling off, even my neck and eyelids were peeling off even though I didn't apply Epiduo there, my skin burned and stinged everytime I applied moisturiser, cleanser, or Epiduo.
    Now I've taken a 4 day break from Epiduo and I've been using this barrier serum twice a day, and within two days my skin improved so much. I still have acne but now my skin doesn't hurt anymore when I apply product and the peeling has stopped. Also my skin texture feels smooth, though I can still feel the nodular acne underneath, but the surface of the skin is smooth when before it was rough and dry. I'm planning on continuing Epiduo tonight and I'll continue using the barrier support serum in the mornings, and if the Epiduo starts giving me issues again, I'll just take another break to give my skin some time to heal with the barrier serum.
    This serum is definitely helping me, without it there's no way my skin would've returned to a good condition within two days of stopping Epiduo. It's quite rare to find a product that shows results so quickly. But I think that this serum works the best if you have a very damaged skin barrier, if you don't or it's just slightly damaged, then maybe you won't see as drastic results so quickly as I did
    Edit: 8 months later and my skin is clear! The combination of Epiduo AND barrier-soothing products worked for me.

    I love this serum! For context: I have oily skin that easily gets dehydrated in colder weather, when the air is dry. This helps my skin not feel tight, and therefore prevents my skin from overproducing more oil on top of my already oily skin. Pro tip: use this before getting on a flight! Before using this, my skin would be wrecked from the recycled air on hours-long flights -- but this resolved my issues of tightness and irritation!

    Hi, James! As I was starting your video, I was in the middle of purchasing the Olay Super Serum and Olay Super Serum Night Repair., which are $30 each, not including the Cyber Monday discount (plus a free gift) Olay is running on their website right now. But as I listened to you talk about this and compared the ingredients, I decided to go with The Ordinary one instead, especially because it is on sale for just under $14 on their website for Cyber Monday (plus a free sample of one of their eye serums). However, I would have paid the $17 for it, considering I was willing to pay $30 for the Olay ones. To me, it means I may save a good bit by going with The Ordinary, if I end up liking it.

    It's so good to hear someone else say the same things I have faced when using the Ordinary products previously. They do not work well with other products, not just pilling but burning as well, they foam and I do not enjoy those pipettes either. Also, none of their products ever did anything much for my skin. I didn't go crazy with actives but I bought mostly their hydrating serums (like the buffet, peptides, marine hyaluronics ones) and I didn't even feel like they hydrated my skin or did anything at all. The buffet serum was the worst because it just sat on top of my skin and did not even sink in. This pink serum looks interesting should I give it another chance..hmm..I'm gonna have to wait and see.

Of course it left my skin parched, itchy and every single cream or serum felt like rubbing jalapenos on my skin. And this serum worked amazing! I wouldn't say it repaired my skin barrier in 2 hours but definitely in 2 days of using it twice daily burning and inflammation was gone. I love it.

The sale and the offer of a free multi-peptide eye serum with purchase and free shipping made the decision to try it much easier! I have normal-oily, oily in my t-zone, sensitive, acne-prone skin. My skin doesn't play well with super thick creams or most facial oils so I'm excited to try this one out. You said you can't use it with vitamin c...I'm wondering if that includes THD ascorbate as that's the vitamin c derivative/ester that I use every morning. If I can't use them together, I'll use this one at night for sure.

    I was about to order this based on this review, but then I just kept thinking, I get this same result from my PY barrier cream and it's only $10 a jar and last me about 6 weeks using morning and night (under sunscreen in the am). I think if I didn't already have snail mucin toner and barrier cream that I love in combination for moist, soft skin that doesn't break out this might be a good choice for me. But I'm not going to try to fix what isn't broken at this point. I can't see using 2 barrier products, particularly since I'm maintaining a healthy skin barrier with tretinoin, glycolic acid and microneedling, but not trying to repair a damaged barrier. I appreciate this balanced review in helping me clarify my intentions.

    Well, I LOVE this serum too. In fact, I’m on my 3rd bottle and I buy it every few weeks because I use Tretinonin so my skin barrier needs it. I do feel an improvement in that itch that comes along with a compromised skin barrier as soon as I apply it. It is a little bit expensive in my opinion for 30ml I feel it should be between £11-£13

    I have severe psoriasis and generally very sensitive, dehydrated skin. Been using this product for a few days and I don't think my skin has ever felt so soft, at least not since I was a baby. I don't know how they've done it but I am honestly amazed at a product doing what it claims to do in such a short amount of time. I haven't had to use immunosuppressive ointment on my face since I started using this.

    I happened to pick this up a couple months ago and have liked this serum so far. I will say that I use it in combination with other ordinary products and have issues with this serum pilling up and getting stuck in my hairline. I’m still experimenting with the stage as which I use it to see if its a particular other product that it doesn’t play well with but aside from that, I have really liked the overall feel and hydration it has provided this far. It is a bit of a bummer that it’s so much more expensive but considering the number of ingredients in it, I can understand the cost

    I was very interested in this serum after seeing the ingredient list--I have rosacea too so this sounds promising.

An LED mask was already on my wishlist so I'm definitely buying myself one after the new year.

      I Just used my omnilux face, chest and neck led light mask last night and I thought when I looked in the mirror my face would look calm and glowing. instead my usual facial redness due to rosacea was so much worse. I know this can happen though and can go away after a few hours. Now I woke up and my facial redness is actually a lot better than it normally is. So just don’t be surprised when right after your redness looks a lot worse. I’m. Going to keep using it and see if the pros out weigh the cons. I would definitely recommend using it at night before bed so you’re not walking around all day with extreme redness.

      @@costcochurros I have to update you because I am amazed by my results already. Today I did my 3rd led light treatment. Yesterday was my 2nd treatment and already the results have been absolutely incredible! My facial flushing and broke capillaries are nearly gone already 😩 with only 2 sessions as of yesterday. I can not believe how effective this treatment has been so quickly. I contacted omnilux about the redness after my treatments and it turns out that is exactly what’s supposed to happen because it increases blood flow. So it’s 100% normal and to be expected. The redness calms after an hour or 2 for me. I really hope you go forward with the red light therapy mask it has been an huge game changer for my rosacea already. I also would like to mention that prior to this mask about a Year ago I did 2 BBL laser treatments on my face for rosacea and it did absolutely NOTHING, ZERO RESULTS, ZERO DIFFERENCE. In a matter of two led red light sessions my redness and broken capillaries are almost gone. I’m Amazed, even my husband has noticed how calm my skin is already. Also omnilux offers payment plans which is what I did to get my mask! So it is affordable
