The Ordinary BUFFET vs. MATRIXYL // Anti-Aging Peptides // Product Review // Skincare Routines

[@snezanavl8580]

Can you use a retinol cream after the buffet with copper peptides

[@ChristaEvelyn]

Retinol after the buffet is ok, but it is not recommended to be in the same routine as the buffet with copper peptides 💫

[@snezanavl8580]

Christa thank you I'll use my buffet with my retinol and my buffet with copper peptides in the morning .The only thing I don't like with the buffet with copper peptides is it doesn't mix with alot of products.

[@ChristaEvelyn]

@@snezanavl8580 I agree & I do the same thing - keep my routine with the copper peptides really simple.

I find the Ordinary Matrixl doesn't need to be in my every day routine, but is vital when wearing makeup, particularly in my under eye area. I use it before an eye cream, then eye makeup primer, then under eye concealer. This combo results in absolutely no expression lines after many hours of wearing makeup and smiling lots. Without the matrixl, no matter what I do, after a few hours you can see my smile lines around my eyes even when I'm no longer smiling.

Currently 32 & I’ve been using Buffet for 3 years & love it! I recommend to everyone! Was interested in Matrixyl Thanks for all your information !!!!!!

[@ChristaEvelyn]

I love the Buffet too - and used it for years with great results, now because I test so many other products, it isn't as frequent in my routine, but I still love it 🥰

[@101taiga]

I bought this with no expectations. I have been using it about two weeks, so short term results are all I can comment on. Great hydration and “skin plumping” effect. I do use aha/bha and a 1% retinol and Vitamin C serum but generally wait between applications, and the retinol is in the pm and the Vit C in the am. Bha daily and aha a couple times a week. My last step is the Buffet followed by SPF 50 in the morning. I will repurchase this product for sure.

[@ChristaEvelyn]

Sounds like you have a great routine!! Thanks for your comment, and have a great week :)

[@Ana-cb2wb]

Do you apply the buffet after your Vit C?

Hey!:) I wonder if Matrixyl 3000 ingredient is quite better proven than other peptides, isn't it better to use Matrixyl brecause we know it has 10% concentration? I cannot find the concentration of Matrixyk in Buffet? What are your thoughts of it?:)

[@eithnedundas2890]

@christaEvelyn Thank you for this - so helpful! You reference serums in your general routine, but separately reference Vitamin C ... can you clarify what specific serums beyond the Buffet you use and how frequently? Would also love a video on your preference for makeup - yours is lovely and definitely completes the polished, hydrated look!

[@ChristaEvelyn]

My most recent video is my (attempt) at sharing my makeup routine 😉. As for vitamin c - it is my go to serum in my morning skincare routine because as an antioxidant - it works great to protect my skin from environmental stressors, and as well it has been shown to boost the effectiveness of sunscreen when used together :). It is probably about time I did a new vitamin c video, but I have done one dedicated video to vitamin c that you can find on my page as well :)

[@jayneyp8683]

Thank you for this video. Just wondering your thoughts. I have used matrixyl for a few years and love it. I have recently bought a bottle of Argireline as well to hopefully improve my deeper lines. Which one should i apply first or does it matter? Also, should I just be using the Buffet instead serum instead?? I feel like matrixyl and argirelene in separate bottles might be stronger than the Buffet but I could be wrong. Thank you :)

[@ChristaEvelyn]

I would agree with you that the combo of matrixyl & Argireline are great together. I apply matrixyl first then use Argireline on my targeted areas, but I really don’t think it makes a difference of which one you use first! I like the buffet as an all in one serum. Great for travelling, and just an overall great serum - but if you already have the other 2 - you really don’t need to add the buffet in as well! The buffet with copper peptides though, would give you something different, but these are the things I tell myself as I am filling up my shopping cart 😂✨

[@doriskokalaki4892]

Great videos! I have never tried these products. I was thinking of buying the Buffet with Copper or the Matrixyl/Argireline scheme. I saw you said something about hair growth, which I don't want, plus I have oily skin. So, for my wrinkles and plumping, which would u advise me to buy from the above 2 choices? Thank u!

[@ChristaEvelyn]

It's so hard to choose! I really love all of the products. I use the matrixyl/argireline as of late, together with my retinol on one evening, and then alternate nights with a copper peptide (no retinol) in my evening routine. I just think there are so many great anti-aging benefits from the copper peptides; so I guess that is my round about answer lol! I haven't had any negative experience from the buffet, but I think some people with oily/acne-prone skin do prefer the copper petides. Hope this helps!

[@lindaackerman3507]

What about retinol products at night, can you use this with the peptides at night or is that taking away the effects of the peptides?

Where would you fit adapalene into use with the matrixyl? I use the adapalene at night.

[@ChristaEvelyn]

Adapalene is a retinoid, and there isn't a contradiction between matrixyl and retinoids; so there is no reason they can't be in the same routine together (unless for some reason you experience irritation). Hope this helps! 💛

I have been mixing my Drunk Elephant C-Firma, my Drunk Elephant B5 and my Ordinary Buffet +Copper peptides together in my hand and applying before moisturizer in my morning routine. I use Retin-A .1% followed by evening moisturizer in my evening routine. Is this bad?

[@ChristaEvelyn]

All sounds lovely except - The Ordinary doesn't recommend mixing their copper peptide serum with vitamin c, retinoids, direct acids or antioxidants. Not that it is going to cause irritation in the skin, but as I understand it - it can make the copper peptide less effective. That is why I keep my routine very simple when using a copper peptide, cleanse, copper peptide, moisturizer (sunscreen if using in the AM). Personally I alternate my retinoid with copper peptide every other night, but that is also because my skin can't really tolerate a retinoid every night! I hope this helps 💛

Hi! Thanks for sharing all that information. Can I ask how do you inctorporate Vit C in your routine knowing you can't use it in the same routine, but in the video it is said that you use peptide serum in the am and pm? or have i misunderstood something? xx

[@ChristaEvelyn]

I don't use the exact same routine every single day, so if I use a pure L-Ascorbic acid vitamin c, I do not use a peptide in the same routine, I will save it until the evening with my retinol. But if I use a vitamin C derivative in the morning, there isn't a conflict with peptides and derivatives, so I will pair them together then :)

The Ordinary doesn't recommend using in the same routine as acids or vitamin c, so I would alternate with one of those. For me, I use vitamin c in the AM, and peptides with my retinol in the PM. I only use an acid once or twice per/week. Hope this helps!

Hello.. Can i layer niacinamide, lactic acid and ascorbyl glucoside solution in the same routine?

[@ChristaEvelyn]

The Ordinary does not recommend the Ascorbyl glycoside solution in the same routine as Niacinamide, however there are many others (myself included) who believe that vit c products and vitamin c work very well together. Especially since the ascobyl glycoside is a derivative of vitamin c. Lactic acid can also pair with both no problem - however, these are all very powerful ingredients! As long as it works for your skin, go for it. My skin couldn’t tolerate all of those together in the same routine, for reference I use lactic acid a maximum of 2X/per week 🙃 Hope this helps!

[@yinkababalola989]

How do you layer the ordinary peptides with retinol? Which comes first?

[@ChristaEvelyn]

Personally, I use the philosophy of cleansing/toning at the beginning of my routine, and moisturizer at the end, all of the watery serums in between I don't worry too much about how they layer. I tend to put the things that I want the most benefit from right after cleansing, and go from there. The creamy serums I will layer after the watery ones, and then end off with moisturizer. So for me when I am using peptides with a creamy retinol - I will put the peptides first, then the retinol. However, when I use the Ordinary's retinol (because it is watery) I put it right after cleansing, and then layer my peptides on top of it. This is completely based on personal preference and experimentation on my part, but I hope it helps!

Can buffet reduce fine lines n wrinkle??? How to use ordinary buffet hyaluronic acid n 0.2% retinol???

[@ChristaEvelyn]

The research isn't solid on peptides, but I feel like I have seen good results using them. At the very least, they are hydrating, and that in turn also helps to smooth out my fine lines and wrinkles. I would cleanse, buffet, then apply HA to damp skin (either mist my face to achieve that), and then retinol, then moisturizer. I typically apply my products from thinnest to thickest consistency, but I always try to apply my HA to damp skin to get the most out of it. Hope this helps!

It does contain castor oil in the formulation, which is thought to stimulated hair production! So yes - it is possible. The Buffet with Copper peptides does not contain castor oil in the formulation (nor does the Matrixyl serum). Hope this helps!

[@Ablueeee]

Why can't you use them in the same routine as vitamin c?

[@ChristaEvelyn]

With peptides, it is not recommended to mix in the same routine as pure forms of vitamin c, or direct acids because of ph levels. They alter the composition of the peptide by breaking the bonds apart, and therefore render your peptide ineffective. The last thing you want to do is lose any efficacy of the product - because then it is a waste of money. You are better off to separate these products into different routines eg one in the AM or one in the PM to get the most out of them! Hope this helps 💫💛
