![It's been almost 2 months since I started using 5 of these #theordinary products very regularly from @deciem. I'm impressed by the accessible prices and how these products have balanced my skin. I've been irritation-free, acne-free, with very few instances of over-active sebum production on my T-zone. I am reviewing 2 of my favorites, Buffet and Advanced Retinoid 2% here. Full review of all 5 products coming soon on the blog!

🌸"Buffet" 30ml $14.80 🌸
*Claims to: Target multiple signs of aging. -
*How to Use: I use this after cleansing and toning, morning and night. -
*Consistency & Application: It's a clear, gel like substance with no obvious scent. It spreads very easily and doesn't pill when combined with other products in my routine (essences, oils, creams). -
*Performance: I can't say that this erased my fine lines after almost two months, but it has stabilized my skin and improved my overall hydration levels throughout the day. I think it's one of those quiet, diligent little workers that you only miss when it's gone. I love that it is fragrance free and gentle. I will repurchase soon since I only have 1/4 left!
-
*Key ingredients: Lactococcus Ferment Lysate (enhances skin growth and skin barrier function), Syn-Ake peptide complex (derived from a peptid found in snake venom, which is like a very mild botox for your face), Matrixyl 3000 (makes skin produce more collagen, which helps firm skin)
.
🌸Advanced Retinoid 2% 30ml $9.80🌸
*Claims to: Combat signs of aging with none of the irritation characteristic of other retinoids. -
*How to Use: Nighttime only. I alternate this with my AHA T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum from @drunkelephantskincare and apply it after BHA acid right after cleansing. I wait 15 minutes to give it time to work on its own, then continue with the rest of my routine. Make sure to use sunscreen the next morning.
