3 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About The Ordinary

[@addiemarie809]

We definitely need the video going through every product the ordinary has

[@SarayEcheverri-w9w]

Cassandra already made a ton! Check on her old videos!

Reaffirming this statement

[@raraavis7782]

Yes please 😅

[@عمرالفاروقعمرالفاروق-ر6ت]

،cccbb

[@hannahrussell6670]

Agreed!

[@hillabodeRB]

"I tried every single product of The Ordinary…" video - Yes, please! 😃

[@PinkSky1071]

Yes, please!!

[@ivaniamonsanto]

Bought a ticket just to be on board with this 😌😌😌 please make it come true, I love love love the ordinary and recently burned my skin by using both the alpha arbutin (and not a little amount), in combination with glycolic acid. And as a slow learner, when I noticed my skin was acting up, I thought, let me do that TWICE PER DAY 😭😭 got huge breakouts and now it's recovering but damn need that info. 🫠

[@jrmint2]

I love that you are still focusing on The Ordinary, most influencers moved on to other trends. But The Ordinary has some of the best products and after years of trying different products, I've come home to The Ordinary. The quality is excellent, but you really have to be a bit of a skin care nerd to reap the benefits. My favorites are many and I've recently acquired a whole new slew of products and my skin is glowing. The actives can be mixed w other products. some of my favorites, the ATIP in vitamin F, EUK 134 (my holy grail) the Buffet w copper, Pycnogenol, the new Retinal, and I'm trying out the peptides for hair and for lashes and brows. I even love the 23% Vitamin C that I use as a mask a few times a week.

[@aliciadeer9074]

I have very sensitive and reactive skin. I also have a lot of allergies. The ordinary is one of the few brands I trust because they are so clear with labeling and information

[@courtneyx9845]

Same for me. The ordinary has been a godsend for skincare I can actually use and afford.

[@عمرالفاروقعمرالفاروق-ر6ت]

Igjudnhg

[@imfinereally]

Same! And the products are so simple it's easy to know I'm not going to react badly to something in a long list OR learn what my skin def doesn't like

[@cathyjustcathy785]

I have been using The Ordinary for years now and found a perfect combination that works for my skin. Using the short quiz on their website along with trial and error and using their products correctly and consistently, I have skin that looks years younger than my 71 years. (My docs always ask what I'm using.) The products that I didn't care for didn't break the bank but that learning process allowed me to get my perfect skin regimen for very little money. Highly recommend The Ordinary! Thanks, Cassandra!

[@shreyamishra916]

yayy. you rock.

[@gregoralexx]

As someone who admires The Ordinary, I believe it’s crucial to also give credit to the co-founder, Nicola Kilner, for her remarkable contributions to Deciem’s success. Alongside the incredible team, Kilner and Truaxe’s vision and dedication have been the driving force behind the brand’s journey. Their innovative spirit and unwavering commitment to transparency have resonated deeply with skincare enthusiasts worldwide, including myself. Recognizing their personal impact not only honors their legacy but also underscores the collaborative spirit that defines The Ordinary’s enduring success.

[@angelofsiryu]

anything that is affordable and affective is an A+ in my book. Plus, you trying everything like shampoo on your face is such a vibe. A lot of products were gatekept by the medical community until we started seeing a more diverse product selection and when youtubers (like you) were like "hey! don't do what I did. I will show you!" and I appreciate that about you! You rock Cassandra!!!

[@jrmint2]

*effective

[@zonjacrous7865]

We are able to buy The Ordinary's products in South Africa at very affordable prices. I've almost replaced all my skin care with their products. My skin has always been extremely dry during season change. This year, it has been beautifully hydrated, thanks to The Ordinary products. I can not thank you enough for teaching me how to use of these products.❤

[@CherrieWells]

Cassandra, you are looking radiant and healthy! I so appreciate that you always show all versions of you but I'm happy that you seem healthy and content today and I love the ordinary so this was a great video ! Thank you!

[@soulie1971]

Yes, we need a video about every Ordinary product! 🥰🥰🥰

[@whispersamungtrees]

I think they're also doing well bc it's so affordable, we don't have to put it off until we get some more cash to restock. We can afford to keep buying it. Other brands we might even switch from and use the ordinary bc we , again, can still afford it.

[@T.Walker1502]

The ordinary squalane cleanser actually helped me enjoying washing my face cos no more paper skin! I've tried quite a few other products from them and even with sensitive skin, I'm good. Just don't try all at once! I've seen that happen a lot with my friends. Of course you gonna irritated your skin if you use 4-5 exfoliating products at once 🤷🏻‍♀️ Be kind to your skin

[@listeningatwork8719]

My only gripe about their products is that many of them tend to pill when layered with other lotions or makeup. On a positive note, I’ve never experienced irritation from any of their products.

[@butterfliesinthesun9054]

Yes later on in the day your skin is either flaking or piling product occurs that’s why I switched to only using it at night. Unless if anyone has a trick to use the argireline, caffeine and matrixyl together?

[@angelica.86]

I was having issues with the routine I had.. then I watched a video of Cassandra and realized I was laying wrong. Once I changed what I was doing no more pilling nor dry looking. Make sure you are starting with all water soluble then cream then oils.. at least for me this helped.

[@chincaglieria]

I’d like the vid of all Ordinary products please thanks Cassandra

[@butterfliesinthesun9054]

@@angelica.86 what would you recommend to do first the matrixyl, argireline, caffeine then moisturizer then sunscreen?

[@leachville3001]

​@butterfliesinthesun9054 yes that's the correct way to layer skin care. 😊

[@raraavis7782]

I would love a dedicated video going through every single product. I'm easily overwhelmed by too much choice and don't even know where to start, really.

[@sheilathomas1103]

I first learned about the Ordinary from Wayne Goss. I saw it in Ulta, tried it, and fell in love with it!

[@amandaredd3057]

I LOVE The Ordinary's products and definitely their prices. I'm a big fan

[@thistlecreek1]

A comprehensive rundown of Ordinary products would be awesome, and an easy place to point to other people looking for information.

[@kathleencoomans8210]

Yes to an every product video and after that recommended routines of the ordinary for acne prone…normal….oily….whatever skins pleeeaaasse

[@susanpattison5043]

Yes please do an entire video on The Ordinary products. I have several and I’m confused as to when to use what and how much etc etc lol. Thank you💕

[@1971GeeGee]

YES PLEASE!! We all want that video. I am 53, starting using The Ordinary because of your videos. ❤

[@DebbiePike-ir4kx]

I’ve been using The Ordinary for about a month and my skin has never looked better! Still working on a couple sun spots but my skin has gotten so much smoother and I get compliments! 😊 thanks for your videos as I’ve learned through these what I need for my skin and how to layer them!

[@ewebster909]

This is great, thank you! I am a big fan of The Ordinary simply because you get quality products without the inflated prices (I make a few skincare products myself and follow the same principles). But I wasn’t aware that they take such good care of their employees - that means a lot to me. ❤

[@virgi28]

I would like a video on layering their products😊

[@deefernandez9476]

YES PLEASE, would love a product break down on all of the ordinary products ❤❤❤

[@shelliann9690]

The ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is by far my most favourite product. it was a game changer for me. When I wake up in the morning after using this mask revolutionary. I don’t know why you don’t like it - it’s the greatest. Also, their prices have literally doubled since January2024. They are still more affordable than others. But I hope they don’t get too far from what the founder originally envisioned for this company.

[@shawnahenline8191]

Definitely would love a video or two going thru all of the Ordinary products. I respect your opinion and make selections from those. ❤

[@StilwellFamily]

I would love a copy of the cheat sheet she referenced at 6:58. I tried the chat room indicated on the sheet and could not find it. Does anyone have a link?

[@QuartzieK]

Same, wondering if you ever found a copy of this cheat sheet?

[@robinlawson7441]

The Ordinary is my favorite brand. I use their products every single day. They are amazing products. I do feel like I have so many single ingredients that I can't use them all and it can be complicated, but what I do love is that I can always drop down to the minimum number of products for my skin at any point. Makes it easier to do with single or double ingredients.

[@nickydenning6988]

YES PLEASE to that video on The Ordinary products!!

[@courtneymartinak5277]

Please we need a video of all of the Ordinary products! Your videos always get me motivated to wash my face! 🦋💜

[@lhmcd5538]

I love The Ordinary. It’s what I use. Can’t wait for the new products. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

[@dominikdostal2847]

[@lazerhandy0895]

hey, i love the idea behind the ordinary, i would love an video of you going trough all of ther ordinary products

[@rebekahlopez7212]

I love The Ordinary, and have you to thank for introducing me to them; so thanks!

[@faithrogers5]

Yes please, we need that top/flop video 🤩

[@eviweide122]

I just found your channel. I love skincare and I also love learning about, even I am not a profissional. I am loving your videos and tips in each video I watch. Thanks for sharing your honest review and for also sharing affordable options. Barely no influencers do this. The most of them just share crazy expensive products and treatments.

[@hilarysimpson4674]

Idk who is saying The Ordinary isn’t raising their prices, because they have consistently raised their prices every January for the last 3 years!

[@EnvyBlu]

Exactly. The whole point of the Ordinary being low in price was because each serum is basically one ingredient it focuses on, then added a couple fillers and preservatives. Well if they’re raising their prices, then I was thinking, why should I buy from them, spend more money for each serum with one main ingredient? Maybe I should get a serum that has all the ingredients in one bottle. Because now it’s actually expensive to buy 5-6 The Ordinary serums compared to how inexpensive they used to be. They’ve increased their prices quite a bit actually!

[@anakreyszig303]

I am so glad I saw your video on The Ordinary for wrinkles. I just turned 56 and use tretinoin at night. I have added The Ordinary's peptides to my routine and my skin is looking great!

[@cheyrlreynolds3]

Yes ma'am!! I would love to see the video on what works and what doesn't!! Thank you Cassandra 😊

[@krankenheim13]

The Ordinary is my overall favorite skincare brand. And honestly, bottom line is the price. I can recommend products from The Ordinary to friends who are either really new to skincare or who really don't earn enough to splurge on it. I love the simple, basic labeling. Simple ingredients. And honestly, it's all really effective if you get the right product for you.

[@grannieannie1371]

I educated myself about skincare before I started. I have been using the ordinary products almost exclusively ever since. I haven't had a problem, just introduce your products slowly and watch for reactions. If you educate yourself it is an amazing brand,

[@michelledenomme4546]

Would love a breakdown of the different vitamin C serums they have & the difference between them. Really looking forward to hear from you on this.

[@mejanilsson1047]

an underrated product from the ordinary is their 100% squalane oil. Yes, it's extremely simple, but that's exactly what I love. As someone with oily and acne prone skin, I can say that I LOVE this! At PM I usually dab my moisturizing cream on my face and then put a few drops of squalane in my hands and massage the cream in. This works so well to avoid dry patches and irritation when I use epiduo. Might not work for everyone, but that product deserves more love in my opinion!😁

[@ericajohnson3114]

The Ordinary has completely changed my skin! I love it!

[@coronabibi2092]

I have been using The Ordinary products for last 2-3 years and i absolutely love themmmm

[@imfinereally]

I tried the copper peptides and loved it, so I tried the p&l one. I was so disappointed. Went back to the ordinary and with 2 uses saw the difference! Also newly loving the Aloe & NAG. I have rosacea, and when I learned it has azelaic acid, it made so much sense! So good and not too powerful for my sensitive skin. Soothes irritation from the tretinoin I've started a few months ago. The squalane oil is phenomenal and so inexpensive. Love love The Ordinary.

[@SRPA476]

The barrier support serum sounds awesome 😎 My skin's immune system is super reactive, so I can't use actives like retinol anymore. Even saying the word retinol can set it off. The ordinary's founder passing away so young breaks my heart. 😢

[@nixi-bixi]

I highly recommend this support barrier serum. Growing up i was always combo/oily, had spots but never proper acne. Turned 30 and my skin shifted to combo dry, and just got drier. Finally got diagnosed with hashimotos (low thyroid) and started meds which helped but after collecting a bunch of immune conditions, dry skin became a major issue and I also started getting eczema flares on my face and neck. The support barrier serum i first got in the 2023 slovember sale, at the same time as my first eczema flare and have used it daily since. My skin still leans dry but now its not sensitive,/reactive/ flares at any little thing (basic moisturiser used to set me off and I had to use aveeno baby dextra line for a while). I also use the oil cas recommended. Tried the b oil too but couldn't deal with the smell. At least with the ordinary if something DOESN'T work out for you personally it hasn't cost you an arm and a leg. Was definitely a learning experience switching from products designed for combo oily to driest deserts skin and now thankfully more of a dry/normal depending on the area of my face. However my previous products (also mostly the ordinary) didn't go to waste as i passed them on to friends for them or their family members to try and they found products that worked for them. I still get the odd hormonal break out but I switched from the ordinarys regular salacilic acid serum to the one in androdunous serum which is good for those with dry skin but still works on spots! My back log of the other salacylic acid went to my friend's 14 yr old ( i bulk buy every slovember sale).

[@ebookfay]

The ordinary is the only thing that worked for my sensitive combination skin. I had given up on clear skin before I tried their products and will forever sing their praises. ❤ I would advise reading directions for use before buying so products that aren’t supposed to be used together aren’t mixed.

[@ΑλεξάνδραΠανοπούλου-ψ6λ]

I've got the Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed oil and the Hyaluronic serum which i use quit often and they have done some pretty good magic on my skin!!! Now i order the Niacinamide serum. Also the price is fantastic!!!!!

[@Nimrodellaishere]

Yes pls, do an analysis on their products i tried a few of their creams and they all sucked but I might just not find stuff for my oily skin. I am using their serums, as my skin can definitely take it 😂

[@evgeniaslavova4078]

I am super thankful to you for introducing The Ordinary to me ❤ I love it! My skin loves it. As simple as that 🎉❤

[@livesouthernable]

I love the Ordinary! I have a few of their products that live in my routine. That being said, I did absolutely destroy my skin with their actives at one point. So, you’re completely right about nuance and moderation 😂

[@erinbyrd5181]

I have brought a lot of the Ordinary into my routine. The anhydrous salicylic acid for my t-zone, azaleic acid for my cheeks and between my eyebrows, the pink barrier repair stuff, and the peptide lash and brow serum. All have been awesome.

[@user-tv4oc5ox9h]

The Ordinary should sponsor you because I started buying it because of your videos. I bet many others have too. I have to say, I do love their products!

[@barbaramelady110]

The Ordinary is awesome ,product speak for themselves not through pay celebrity!!!xoThank YOU for Your video Cassandra.

[@barbarawright9123]

I would love a "tell all about all of them" video about The 7:45 Ordinary. I'm intrigued by this channel and that brand!

[@slikjmuzik]

I LOVE The Ordinary brand. Their products look good on a guy's shelf and girls appreciate a guy that actually has a proper skin routine. Mine is super simple. Still using the squalane cleanser morning and night. During the day I put on the Multi-Peptide + Copper serum and I put the Aloe + NAG serum on top. NO moisurizer (Even though I have the Beta Glucan moisturizer, I just don't use it anymore). I have puffy eyes so after those 2 serums are on, I also use a product call Celyn for my eye bags. At night, it's the squalane cleanser and then the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. Literally every night, no moisturizer. Once I realized I was giving my fact the right nutrients (coupled with a good diet), I no longer needed a moisturizer. But...I just ordered the 2% Retinal Emulsion, so I think I'm going to need the moisturizer again, or, I'll put on the aloe on top or first to calm the skin down. Don't exactly know which one is going to work best yet, or if that'll even be necessary, but I'm going to start using the new 2% Retinal on Sundays and see how that works with the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion all other nights and take it from there. Sounds complicated when you type it all out, but it's really super simple and I'm ecstatic I ran into this brand. What's even cooler is that between Sephora and Ulta, you can get your hands on just about all of their products. Happy camper over here. Thanks for the videos, Cass.

[@Livelytot]

I’d LOVE a video about all the Ordinary products. It’ll be a great guide! (& a much needed one🥲)

[@juStb4u]

Great video Cassandra, love the ordinary’s ethos, love their products, hope they continue to thrive. 👊🏻

[@CatandBean1378]

Love this!! Please keep sharing more bout the ordinary! I'm excited to try it!

[@naightengale101]

Hearing talk of how well they treat their employees, makes me want to stop teaching chemistry and go work for The Ordinary 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@berniepearl6927]

I would love to know your opinion on Olaplex 3.4.5 bond maintenance line, its the pre shampoo, the shampoo and conditioner.

[@andreadake5049]

Yes I want that video on everything you tried from the Ordinary!

[@tehmaimed]

Despite all the changes since its inception, TO has been and will always be my ride or die. It was my gateway skincare brand, and as a fellow Torontonian I have such a soft spot for the brand introducing me to the wonderful world of skincare, and making my skin change for the better. That said, they need to launch an SPF! They discontinued their mineral sunscreen but I don't think anybody really liked those anyways.

[@edwardjohn5]

I love their Ascorbic acid + alpha arbutin. Wearing it after their glycolic acid is really a game changer for me. Alternating it with Cosrx's snail mucin serum and niacinamide & hyaluronic after that. And topping it twice a week with 0.1% tretinoin that I mix with moisturiser, right after the Cosrx's snail mucin and niacinamide & hyaluronic. On trtinoin day I will always do double moisturising. My skin tone is now even. Supple. Brighter. And look more youthful. Especially on the days where I am able to get enough sleep... Oh, and of course, sunscreen

[@so0oGnomon]

I found my "The Ordinary" best combination and I LOVE it. First time ever I stick with a product and actually use it for more than a year.

[@barbintheraw]

Thanks for this! I love both the ordinary and your channel ! 💜

How come you don’t mention the inkey list Anymore? Was all the recommendations and product spotlights paid adverts

[@texasbluebonnet4303]

Thanks for this one, I am using some Ordinary products and so far really am impressed .

[@Kynetguy]

I love The Ordinary and Good Molecules. Both are value brands that deliver results at a fair price. As with anything, both have products that are winners and losers.

[@arefwah]

Please, where can I find the contraindicator matrix table thingy? 🙏

[@evrtmorets]

I found out about TO in 2018 but had a bad experience using their niacinamide serum and it made my acne worse until I stopped using it (btw yes I know you can purge using niacinamide but for me it never stopped and my skin was tight, red and I had bad closed comedones all over my face). Then I changed my entire skincare routine I found out about their alpha arbutin and hyaluronic serum and is my favorite product makes my skin plump and it got rid of all my hyperpigmentation, I been using it for already two years and I will never stop using it. I’m also using the glycolic acid toner and my skin loves it. I’m now trying their granactive retinoid emulsion let’s see how it work because I decided to try a new retinoid since adapalene it’s not working for me anymore

[@glassgoddess8646]

Will you please link the chat room layering chart? Having that chart would be so helpful

[@victoriabatta2691]

Can you talk about byoma, good molecules , and vanicream ? I use the ordinary products with la Roche but then my face started getting bumps and more acne with La Roche. So I just switched to vanicream wash and moisturizer with byoma brightening toner, byoma moisture serum, good molecules retinoid and their dark spot serum as well as their yerba eye cream, and I have peach slices acne toner as well as vanicream vit c… idk what to do with my skin at this point

[@RiseandSHINEdailyinspiration]

I LOVE the Ordinary! My 60 skin has never looked better.

[@merlinmaya1]

[@selinakyle2643]

The ordinary & the minimalist have saved my skin!

[@jasminhabeeb]

Ordinary is my favorite. Worked wonders. And boy it is potent..

[@roden70]

It's quite unbelievable for me personally that the niacinamide serum is their bestseller. I can't stand the stickiness of that serum. I threw it down the sink.

[@Amyonyoutubification]

I used to swear by the ordinary but the last year have moved away from a number of their products. I find that their hyaluronic acid makes everything I apply afterward pill. I then swapped it for the inkey list HA and it did improve, but that didn’t fix the issue. When I then took out the ordinary niacinamide too it fixed it completely. I still use their glycolic acid and a few other bits but those two in particular made everything pill (for me).

[@michellenieves2395]

Yes, please. Need to know 'bout every Ordinary product.

[@marjagauci5925]

Would love that video of every ordinary product and if you could say for which skin type do you think it would work best on and if they leave your skin feeling greasy or anything (much how you did with your sunscreen videos)

[@jordannad898]

Omg not knowing they were in Toronto wow!!❤

[@bareloto]

Yes make the video on ordinary portfolio ❤ and when are you going to tell us about the products you try?? Pf so jealous

[@dorothytenute2710]

I love everything I have tried from Ordinary and I appreciate their pricing. Very sad about the founder's passing

[@amiesibona1217]

Please do All the products in The Ordinary! That would be amazing

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

I used to buy expensive products and thank to you I realized they had next to nothing of the ingredients I was looking for like retinol, so now my whole routine is based on The Ordinary products

[@katelijnesommen]

I enjoy the ordinary a lot but it's happened a bunch of times that a full shipment gets lost on its way to me and they've never really used good customer service in that case. Right now I think it's happened again and I'm already tired thinking I'll have to get in touch again and probably won't even get a response, ugh.

[@devonremy6581]

Hey, Cassandra - Another great video! I especially like the ones featuring The Ordinary because I still haven’t dipped my toes in the water. I don’t know if you have this kind of pull, but has The Ordinary ever considered a redesign of its label? I like the uniformity you displayed I the video. I like “The Ordinary.” in bold, with or without the period. It’s distinctive. We all know it’s The Ordinary. But I’m old. What is the actual product? Oh, I found it: underneath a line, in microtext. Is there enough real estate on that label to identify the product within? Asking for a friend. : )

[@elisaranney5120]

id looove to see a video on carbon theory!! i use it and its been good but always wanted to see a proper professional review to see what ppl think

[@adelalaiev8272]

I'm surprised with all they offer that a tranexamic acid product isn't in their catalogue. Would love to see a 2-5% tx and alpha arbutin (without niacinimide). Maybe you agree you can pay is along to them Cassandra :)
