Best of The Ordinary - Esthetician Favorites

[@Mel-jl8dt]

Honestly the fact that a brand this good exists and is this affordable shows that some brands are really inflating their prices just to drain their customers

[@timdaley8978]

So the niacinamide is also wonderful for pores. I initially got it cuz i read somewhere it could help reduce sebaceous filaments and help oil control. I don’t think it did anything to help the sebaceous filaments but what it did do was reduce the appearance of my pores and every time i stray away from it i can see the difference in my skin. Also their 10% lactic acid serum is my holy grail. I like to mix it in with my thick night time moisturizer

[@cynthiabragg2611]

I just started using lactic acid 5 percent hopefully it will work I'm glad you had a positive experience.

[@accwkk]

Same I don't think it helped with my oil production

[@katharinapopendicker9672]

have you found something that helps with the sebaceous filaments? they drive me crazy

[@AlwaysMichelleTV]

@@katharinapopendicker9672have you don’t the double oil cleaner? I’ve heard that helps but I’m also struggling myself. I felt the oil massaging did help so much but it was hurting my hands too much

[@lanigal]

Azelaic acid has been a game changer for me! I have dry skin with some hormonal acne (I’m 40), flare ups of rosacea and perioral dermatitis! Both the ordinary and Paula’s choice azelaics don’t even pill when I mix in or layer with my aveeno calm & restore gel moisturizer 😊

[@ivo.vasilevv]

what is your routine? would love some help with my eczema/hormonal acne/oily but dry patches skin haha

[@caitlinb3914]

That salicylic acid anhydrous solution 2% saved my skin! I have extremely dry skin, but it’s also acne prone, and I had a lot of closed comedones. I tried so many BHA solutions and they wrecked my skin, even using only twice a week. This one cleared my skin in two months and I now use it 5 times a week, all over my face. I love it!

[@missmyminecraftacc]

when clearing your acne how did you use it? twice a day, day and night? or once a day? let me know please !

[@caitlinb3914]

I used it only at night, after a gentle cleanser!

[@bkamnstr]

Thank you for this information 🙏 Please, as someone who primarily listens to your videos, it would be really appreciated if you could pause for moment between products, and say what it is out loud instead of relying on visuals. If I struggle with it, I can't imagine how difficult it is for people with worse/no vision.

[@Cauldrxn]

Bumping this comment so it may make it to the top ❤

[@pegapage9603]

There is a list of all products in the description box. I keep it open while I watch, so I can see the name of the product.

[@LaLapin1]

This is the first time I’ve seen you and your channel. Very helpful information. Thank you! But please, can you slow down a little? You talk a bit fast, and I miss a lot of what you say. I can see that you are very well versed, so it’s important to me to not miss anything you say. Thanks so much💜.

[@OJ_Kjeldsen]

I have been struggling to really understand how to use the difference Ordinary products, but this breaks it down so beautifully. Thank you so much!

[@charlotte3]

i’d LOVE a vid where you break down what specific chemical peels you did to clear your acne / acne scars ! i’ve been using the ordinary’s aha bha peel for 6 months now, between that n the granactive retinoid 2% i’ve seen a HUGE difference in my acne, but i’m rlly thinking abt going to get a jesner peel or something more intense. my acne / acne scars look EXACTLY how your skin used to look, sourdough bread is such a good way to describe it 😭 your channel has seriously SAVED my skin ! i have hormonal acne, im on the birth control implant (that has helped a LOT) and im vegan, but even my mom who’s 50 still gets acne ! i’m 22 now, so ik it’s gon stick w me for a while. would just love to know specifically what chemical peels you did / would recommend :)

[@donnaralston6618]

I love the Ordinary copper peptides and still use it but I have recently started using the Naturium Multi-Peptide Advanced Serum and love it as well. The Naturium serum has copper peptides as well but is more hydrating. It also has argireline and ferulic acid as well. It is supposedly encapsulated, so you can use it in any skincare routine as it plays well with others.

[@laurastrobel718]

Thanks. I will look at this product as well.

[@eden8817]

Ooooh nice I just ordered some argereline! How has it worked for you?

[@ladybaabaa3294]

Ooooh, I too had been avoiding buying the blue copper peptide serum just because of the cost, but I'm soooo tempted now!!! I've never tried a copper peptide product before but I'm 45, with some filler, and always want to plump up my cheeks more! 😂 I hope you're ok by the way. Sending love and strength to you! ❤

[@me-yx3iq]

did u end up buying it? if so is it good? x

[@eden8817]

Have you tried it babe?

[@ladybaabaa3294]

Not yet! lol

[@cookycutie]

Amazing! Lately many beauty gurus started to trash the ordinary after literally worshipping the brand , personally i dilute the ordinary products with a moisturizer bc it works best for me that way i guess the brand does it in purpose to give us concentrated products so that we make a mess ouf our skin thus pushing us to buy more and more products but over-all the ordinary products work you see results , comparing to expensive products i used to use that made 0 change and were too expensive , the ordinary did what no one else did give us the raw material with very clear informations and % and youre free to use it the way you like

[@caspermcgonagle1532]

Out of curiosity when you dilute ordinary serum with moisturizer do you put a drop in the moisturizer in your hand or put some in the moisturizer bottle?

[@cookycutie]

@@caspermcgonagle1532 i use a spatula and just mix it and use it right away im not fan of having multiple containers and spreading bacterias in products ,so i use the same moisturizer and i choose each time which product i dilute separately but just the right amount for one use i dont like having multiple diluted containers not fan of it .

[@jbridges9574]

I love the vitamin C powder to mix into body lotion before sunscreen! My skin started looking better in a few weeks. I don’t do that for my face because I’m too sensitive.

[@prettynsleepy1073]

18:59 I love the copper peptide serum. It’s my favorite

[@rel3525]

I'm on my second bottle. I just went back and reread the usage. If it shouldn't be used with Vitamin C OR retinoids, it seems like I have some tough choices to make between copper peptides and some other gold standard products. EEK

[@angiepattillo3599]

​@@rel3525if I'm not mistaken, you can use them at different times of day, just not in the same routine. Like one am & the other pm.

[@chronically.artist8733]

Thank you for explaining what the products do! A lot seem very similar and I get confused about what they do and thus what I should use but this is so clear

[@Eleni_784GR]

Hey Cassandra, thank you for the informative video on the best ordinary products! I love the copper peptides, I use it every morning and it definitely works on plumping nicely the skin! I have been using the granactive retinoid emulsion for a week now and I do prefer it to the retinol 1% in squalane, as this doesn’t cause any irritation and it has a lovely milky texture.

[@glittersloth11]

This wasn't mentioned in the video, but my skin LOVES the Aloe 2% + NAG 2% solution!

[@ninjajohanna]

I'm happy to hear this because I've been curious about it! What skintype do you have and what does it do for you? If you dont mind me asking 😊

[@angiepattillo3599]

There is another vlogger that covers the NAG serum, and he loves it. His channel is called "Mad About Skin".

[@kereti71]

hope things are looking and feeling better - we love you ad thank you for your amazing service x

[@christinestubbs2172]

Hey there Could you do an up to date video on how to use these products in an everyday schedule?

[@tamabe66]

Wow I used to follow you when you did makeup and shared your acne story. Always loved how you covered up the acne so well. Can’t believe you’re an esthetician now! That’s amazing!

[@JelenaP991]

I think Marine Hyaluronics is so underrated! But I think it should be repackaged as toner because it is so watery and it can be layered few times

[@manisashafique3365]

Hi Cassandra, your show is so informative, love love love you and your show, and The Ordinary as well. I would love you to show us how you incorporate these above mentioned products in your AM and PM routine. Thanks for the wonderful shows. 😍

[@laessigzone]

I started a strict daily skin routine & I see a huge difference. I used cerave for a retinol serum and night cream but I knew I was lacking a lot so I got the toner, vitamin C & antioxidant serum (I dilite) from the ordinary and I haven't had a break out in soo long and my skin improved so much. ❤

[@fabuloustobi9684]

Amazing! The Ordinary indeed still has some of the most iconic products on the market, and it‘s really nice to hear about them again. I‘ve been using the THERAMID Copper Peptide 3% and I have yet to find one that has a higher concentration of this pricy, active ingredient. I feel like you get a big bang for your buck with that one. Didn’t try TO‘s yet, because I believe it contains 1% Copper Peptides and costs almost the same. Thanks for filming and sharing this video with us Cassandra 🎊

[@Mesmerise.]

Excited to try the pink serum and Azelaic acid! Thank you for reminding me about these, Cass! Thinking hard about the blue serum too, but I think I'll need some more research to back it up

[@erinbyrd5181]

Funny enough the pink stuff kinda irritated my skin but I may give it another go. I just started the azelaic acid after my Inkey List bottle finished. I really like the texture- it smooths right in and seems to be helping my rosacea on my cheeks.

[@prettynsleepy1073]

This was a great video. Thank you so much for going through the whole line of one of if not my favorite skincare brand.

[@Danisuzette]

That barrier serum is amazing for rosecea. I've been using it for 3 months and no big flare ups. But I'm jealous that I can't use the pine stuff, I'm allergic to pine 😢

[@lelalu101]

I've been using it to minimize irritation on differin nights

[@morgianasartre6709]

Idk if it's just me but if I was paying for a facial and my esthetician whipped out the ordinary I would be throwing hands 😶‍🌫️

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I love love the multi peptide serum. This video is great to save when Im overwhelmed with all of their choices. Thank you! ❤

[@ClassicLitLove-kx9tt]

Oh I have to say the Azelaic acid WORKS!! My skin is becoming totally even. Sun damage, acne scars are truly fading. Even on my chest! ❤

[@pegapage9603]

I love it too and noticed the same effects.

[@shanrshan1]

Thank you for this! I curated my own ordinary kit and I appreciate knowing your favs! I really like their eye serums - esp the caffeine one ❤ and the hyronlaunic acid ones ❤

[@Mustlovehim46]

Outside of Cassandra’s amazing skin cannnn we all talk about her lashes?!?! Lashes look amazing😍😍😍😍

[@WidderZo]

Yess cassandra what is this??

[@ClassicLitLove-kx9tt]

Big hugs Cassandra ❤ from Ontario. I'm a 55yr (March 1st 😮) Oma and I learn SO much from you. Have you heard about Tret being discontinued in Canada?? I was told by my pharmacy yesterday. They now have to order a different brand from God knows where. The pharmacist had no idea why it's discontinued. Also, life is hard at times hon. I know saying this time too shall pass doesn't always help...especially with a broken heart. But it will. Give yourself a break, give yourself time to feel the pain and cry cry cry it all out. I don't know you in life but this Oma is giving you a hug ❤

[@MelZel7]

I wonder what's going on! I'm in Texas, USA. It took my pharmacy 8 days to restock my .025 tretinoin prescription. When I picked it up it was a totally different brand I've never heard of manufactured in Israel. Did your pharmacy say what brand they are changing to?

[@ClassicLitLove-kx9tt]

@vixendterror1890 I have not picked it up yet. SO strange, I hope there wasn't issues with the original product!!!

[@Jettypilelegs]

Big up us 55 year olds! More beautiful now than in our youth because we have wisdom.

[@Mazzaaaaman]

The L Ascorbic acid (Vit C) powder is great. Diifferent brands are a lot cheaper online. Recipe for Vit C cream - make once a week: 1 teaspoon L Ascorbic acid powder 1 teaspoon warm water (mix with the water first) A 1/4 teaspoon pure Vit E to stabilize Pinch of bicarbonate to lower the acidity 4 teaspoons of any moisturiser.

[@kevjames]

As always, EXCELLENT content! You make these products easy to understand how to incorporate into my routines and make me confident with the Ordinary products I try. I've become an Ordinary junkie because of you and my skin thanks for you it!!!!

[@threewishes777]

I love this channel. You said it's 14yrs old. I can't wait to be watching it for next 10yrs ❤

[@cynthiabragg2611]

I love your videos especially the ordinary as I'm using all of their products 🌺

[@mholmes2078]

Yep, the blue one too. Love it. A bit of a funky smell though that won't stop me from using it.

[@adrian102]

I love copper peptides! I’ve used a handful of them including the ordinary’s and niods. Now the whole thing about not being able to use them alongside vitamin or retinoids has been debunked. Dr Day here on KZbin who is a board certified dermatologist said you are more than ok to use copper peptides alongside retinoids. Rob from Mad about skin on Yt has also given information on being able to use peptides alongside vitamin c AND abbey young also here on yt gave the best word and proof why we can use peptides along vitamin c.

[@Vegan_Vlogs]

Haha Dr Dray is the 🐐😅

[@izzybforever]

Cassandra!! Thank you for this video bestie!! Love you so much. I appreciate your knowledge, the 2-3 years I’ve been following you I’ve been more literate with skin care 😊 and feel more confident. Thank you!!! I always wanted to know want ordinary products to buy.

[@Al-ff6cp]

Cool experience with the ordinary 2% granactive retinoid and 10% matrixyl. My mum wanted something for her wrinkles and was going to buy an expensive French cream that had this plant glue in it to tighten wrinkles. So I was like “if you want, but I know something that could give you better lasting results”. So we go to Priceline and we pick those 2 serums out, and she’s using them for the next few months with moisturiser (she refused to use sunscreen, I’m sorry I tried). And after 1 month the forehead wrinkles were completely gone, and her skin never dried out even while having pretty bad Rosacea. She did stop using the products and the results did fade, but that’s probably for the best since she refused to use sunscreen with it and summer was coming. And we live in Australia…

[@AnnaCruz-ih4xu]

Thank you for reviewing ordinary products. Just bought blue peptide one as a first try of this brand. Hope works well. Thank u

[@saraborthwick2051]

I absolutely love The Ordinary's EUK serum. It is finicky to use, but it makes my skin smooth and radiant.

[@devsie11915]

Can you do a “Top 10 at home anti aging devices”? I’m looking for something I can safely do at home to get better results than topicals alone.

[@wangachristina3577]

You've got such a beautiful body 😍 I would love to study and be a medical aesthetician to help my skin type in Zambia southern part of Africa. I've watched videos but they don't do justice. You are one of the most informed&best skin teachers I've found on KZbin ❤❤❤

[@bareloto]

LOL you did mix a bit copper peptides and your retinol side , 😆😁 natural chaotic! I was hoping for aloe+nag a favorite of mine ^_^

[@muttmatchl.a.8963]

Your skin looks great! LOVE the Ordinary's Niacinamide, I have dry skin btw, and I can't be without it. Bought the Pegnogonal because of you. I alternate it with Vit C.

[@lukastemberger]

Pycnogenol is wonderful. My skin tends to have some redness at all times and it makes it has a pigment that makes it more obvious unfortunately. I only use it at night.

Enjoyed hearing ab ur favs + have been looking for a cleanser… u have me so interested in trying the Glucoside Foaming one. Intrigued ab the collagen boosting copper serum :) I hope u will soon become as interested in urself, as others r concerning u😌.

[@iheart2013]

ok, I promise I do not have anything against the ordinary, but for the first serum I know some people have zinc allergies, like my cousin, and it irritates their skin and makes them breakout. so please patch test that serum, because if you have a zinc allergy and you put that on your face, it will break you out, and you will be in pain for a while. Happy to educate you!😃👍

[@laurastrobel718]

Love the Ordinary. The Buffet with Copper sounds worth it for the price. Your hair looks great. Thanks for the video, very helpful. Happy Wednesday 🌞🦋

[@Heidibeloved43_1-3]

I tried the pycnogenol 5% and didn’t realize how allergic I was to pine. Beware if you have a pine allergy or seasonal allergies. Luckily I bought mine from Ulta and was able to return.

I love their b oil. I might get my mom the copper peptide as she can't use hyaluronic acid and it's in literally everything now.

[@SarahMarjorie]

Can you do a video on the best ingredients for anti aging?

[@claudinewooley7590]

I’ve used both copper peptides from Ordinary and Niod. I like the Niod better but it’s pricey. A little goes a long way so my bottle lasts and if you find a sale, that’s even better

I use the ordinary’s copper peptides I honestly can’t say I’ve noticed anything but I don’t dislike it haha so I’ll keep using it

I have the same question

[@alexxandra44]

I would like that too❤ this chanel is so informative

[@hannaschwartz5394]

they discontinued the ascorbic acid and alpha arbutin serum...which was my HG. Do you have any suggestions for what I can replace that with?

[@kimgroslouis5587]

I have been wondering what would happen to the skin IF we apply a thick layer of a casty ghosty mineral sunscreen like a mask for few hours or a whole day. I mean, zinc oxide have so much benefits for the skin when it comes to irritations, burns and cuts. So would the skin become brighter? Would be great to get this tested 😊

I was surprised when you mentioned that Glycolic Acid Toning Solution 7% should be used at night. ...every morning I use Glycolic before starting my skincare routine. should I change?

[@julietharvey6534]

I think the retinol serum isn’t available in Canada is because I’m pretty sure OTC retinoids are capped at 1%. I think there have also been some new laws on retinoids recently I don’t know the details of

[@GagaxxxLady]

Can I use all those products if I am using retinol at night?. Love you and your videos❤

[@0aprilanne0]

>.> My skin gets easily irritated and dries out faster if I don't use the glycolic acid toner every day. I've been using it every day for a few years and I almost feel like my skin has gotten addicted to it lol.

buffet is the best product fr - I love this serum so so much - I got oily skin - its the best

[@anitataylor4310]

Can copper peptides be used with vitamin c? there is some mixed information online. Biossance states that theirs can be used with vitamin c and it's actually a good combo, but the ordinary says not to mix?

[@elenalatici9568]

I've used copper peptides. I didn't find any difference at all from their regular serum. In the last couple of years Niacinamide is the product I've found most beneficial. I'm 77..

[@nefeli61e]

Is it safe to use the blue serum Copper peptide serum just before the L ascorbic acid in the morning??

[@angiedefreitas5060]

I've tried that exact Copper peptide and I believe I may have goofed. my skin took on a 'pink hue' on the cheek area (and I'm an olive toned gal) so I can only assume that I irritated my skin layering on other products. I may have to try it again.

[@lonotv666]

I have very sensitive skin (can't use the granactive retinoids or aha bha peeling solution) but I absolutely love the sample biossance squalane and hylauronic acid copper peptide rapid plumping serum, despite its long name lol; I wonder if I'd be able to use the euk 134 0.1% antioxidant serum or multi peptide + ha serum?

Hi Cassandra, Thank you for this. Just as a clarification. Could a sensible morning skin routine be,Cleanser, Vitamin C+ Ferulic Acid(Perricone) Niacinimide, Hialuronic Acid, Argilerine, Copper peptide serum, moisturizer and finally sunscreen? Or would youleave the copper peptide serum for night and alternate it with Retinal (Medik8 for example)

[@ivo.vasilevv]

dont put 50 things on your skin at once, also you dont need to cleanse in the morning, just rinse off with cold water. you should watch her video about mixing the ordinary products.

[@donecurry1938]

The amount of products you are putting on your skin is ridiculous. Do you really think layering like that the ingredients are going to seep into your skin? Waste of products.
