She is a huge fan and really explains the procedure and it’s job. She’s the one I found and fell in love with The Ordinary. I used it for about 10 yrs. Miraculous.

[@M_K_M_K_M_K]

@Royal Haroon Hi! My best advice is to understand the mechanism behind acne, and focus on eliminating different parts of this mechanism. You need a couple of things to create acne, and sometimes these things happen because of genetics, hormones, puberty, skincare habits etc. Whatever the cause is: try to not stress about it, and teach yourself how acne is formed and how to eliminate some of these parts, so it will be harder for your skin to have acne. What worked for me (33 years old and have had acne for a longgggg time): benzoyl peroxide to kill P. Acnes bacteria. But don’t leave it on overnight because that will cause irritation!! Get a 5% facewash or gel and leave that in your face for 2 minutes in the morning and then wash off. That will kill the bacteria that is essential in forming acne. BP does not have to be expensive. You can try niacinamide which might help with oil production, but that did nothing for me. You can use salicylic acid to clear the pores of oil, but that was always a bit too irritating for me. Instead: glycolic acid works great for me! That helps with clearing the pores a bit as well, as well as exfoliating the dead skin cells and keratin plugs which all helps with keeping pores cleared. So you want to mainly tackle bacteria and build up of oil/dead skin, if you find products that help you with that - that you like - you will be doing a great job already! Remind yourself that you can’t do more than you can, and what is left beyond that is just what it is. Gut health and diet might be important too, but so is not stressing too much, so just try to stay interested in learning about skin and health, and understanding that you can only do your best! You are wonderful the way you are, it’s okay to want to grow and make the best of things and yourself, but don’t forget to breathe and love yourself :). Ps. A mild basic facewash and (SPF) moisturizer is also important, so that you can clean your face without drying it out and moisturize without clogging pores. I personally really love Cerave foaming facewash and Cerave Pm facial moisturizing lotion. I didn’t like The Ordinary moisturizer, but I do love their glycolic acid toner, lactid acid serum and the red peeling solution. You will definitely get glowing skin from these! Paula’s choice SPF products are great for me but a bit more pricey.

I will NEVER use anything else. And the best thing is that you don’t need to use a lot from each of these products so they last a good while. I use my Niacinamide once a day and I’ve had it for almost 2 months!!! It’s amazing how far a lil amount truly goes a long way with these serums. 2-3 drops max is all you need from each serum.

I know it’s that’s because everything else including diet stayed the same. I have been using it now for a little under a year and for $9 Australian I can’t believe how good it is. I sound like an ad 🤣🤣🤣 I’m just so happy 😃

[@rimthr3777]

Omg my skin now in this moment is the same as yours like my skin is a sebum factory i had clear skin and just in a sudden way my skin became like this and i am looking for some solutions thank you for your comment

[@gidget_]

So if I rub some coffee in my hair, my hair will grow and help with cellulite.😂 I'm buying more coffee. 🤣🤣🤣

[@notanhle]

The editing in this video is 🙌🏽 can you guys please talk about waiting time between skincare steps?

[@karenangell560]

Can you do a layering regime video which actually references how often you use things like retinol/ lactic/ glycolic/ vitamin c/ niacinimide and what you shouldn't use together, what's better used in the morning etc? There are so many products out there now it's a little crazy working out an at home routine.

[@db-gb5xi]

Check out their videos Cleanse, Treat, Protect - Foundations of Skincare and create your perfect skincare routine. If you're interested in ingredients not to mix, Dr Dray and Dr Alexis Stephens have videos on this. Dr Alexis Stephens also has a video on ingredients that work better together.

[@kittylover9790]

Can you please show how to layer ordinary products and what not to mix

[@kittylover9790]

Like niacinamide +zinc, alpha arbutin/azelaic acid, glycolic acid. And red peeling solutions

[@squad-vb7bj]

@@kittylover9790 i’ve seen somewhere and also based on my experience, the most popular combo TO serums for multilayering are Retinol -> Alpha arbutin -> Niacinamide. It gives you the best result especially to brighten your skin and reduces dark spots. But idk for any other acids tho.

[@samitham7518]

Let us all talk about informative these videos and also fun to watch at the same time and the effort they put in together admire you both a lot !❤️

[@michelletidler6773]

I tried one of their vit.C serums. It had that gritty thing going and felt greasy on my face. It was awful. Im using The Buffet right now and its much better. Maybe in the future you guys could tell us your thoughts on the Inky List and Good Molecules. Thank you for another great video!!

[@geester]

Try out the derivatives Vit c from TO such as the Ascorbyl 12%, great for skin brightning nut can be sticky when layered.

[@lavellans]

I find TO’s serums so sticky, uncomfortably, but their creams lay smooth for me and absorb quickly.

[@unsignedredefined7525]

When vit C formulas are anhydrous they are tacky or grainy. But they work much better than water based formulas. I put vitamin c on in the evening, outside of retinoids I see the best results from vitamin c.

[@luciehunt5055]

Pea size of vitamin c mixed with HA will get rid of grittiness x

[@jessicablum4096]

Timeless makes a good Vit C...with freulic acid...it's at Target!

[@hbaloch5018]

@3:33 "There are ingredient which cancel out eachother " waitng for that video plzz

[@shaluvishali4590]

Simply shot and sweet & ur info are straight to the point. Thanks a loads for info ❤️

[@mariepoling6769]

I would love to see a follow up on why you don't like the vitamin C products from The Ordinary. I have both the serum and the powder that you mix with face cream, and I don't want to waste my time with something that isn't working! Thanks!

[@JazzSongs1234]

In Australia you can get Azelaic acid 20% medicated lotion for $11.99 over the counter. So interesting how different countries regulate different ingredients.

[@skateata1]

It's so hard over here in the U.S. There is no cap to how much pharmaceutical companies can charge. It's about $120 per tube for trentinoin

[@skhan9030]

Here in Pakistan 20% W/w as a single ingredient can get for 2$ only ...by pharmacy

[@Donna-cc1kt]

I’ve used The Ordinary for about 10 years. NEVER disappoints. I’ve made errors but that was on me. It’s a routine that requires patience as do most. I’m devoted now and they work.

[@susanmcf1]

I bought the 10% niacinamide with zinc because I wanted the zinc to treat my neck after retinol neck irritation. It worked very well and it was inexpensive.

[@sarahbabiker118]

I can’t emphasize how much I’m benefiting from these videos, the way you present is so easy and clear and now I understand these ingredients more and know what to get for my skin, so thank you so much 😊

[@Lover30583]

I want to see Dr. Shah’s face without a beard.

[@harry8040]

Yass

[@marshak6717]

Ha I was thinking the same thing while they were talking about caffeine

[@FuriedHearts]

I'm kind of confused about your statement about The Ordinary's ascorbic acid powder (13:36) and how you don't recommend it because of it not being stable. That doesn't make sense to me really because ascorbic acid is unstable in solution and not in powder form. It is very stable in a dry powder form. Do you mean that it isn't as stable once mixed into solution? I'm not sure what you mean. Personally I like DIY'ing more with ascorbic acid (NOT for everyone though- check Lab Muffin Beauty's video for her recipe) using powder because it kind of works around the stability issues. It allows you to use a stable powder and mix it into solution when YOU need it. Instead of buying a serum that's already dissolved in water and has been sitting on a shelf for who knows how long.

[@redred333]

Can confirm with the niacinamide. The 10% ordinary made me break out and get irritated, but I switched to a lower strength one (beauty of joseon propolis and niacinamide) and it feels great

[@Pittyondahill]

This is so funny because I have the caffeine and I don’t like it on my face so I thought I’d just use it up on my scalp because it’s cheaper than the hair loss specific products. It worked great by the way.

[@christia0873]

Hi . How did you usecit for hair loss? Can you please write more? 🙏

[@noemi2823L]

Question 🙋🏻‍♀️ is green tea better as an application say in a mask or is it better to drink it?? 🤔 which way has better or more benefits?

[@OccasionalUser7071]

Always better internally. But if you do both topical and internal, you are going for the big win.

[@SJ-le2vc]

Azelaic Acid (the Ordinary and another company I can't remember, right now) has done *amazing* things for my skin in a very short period of time. Reduced pitting acne scars, reduced acne, reduced discussion. It's amazing!

[@Ncognito579]

Really? I’ve been interested but my skin is so sensitive I’m always afraid to try anything that’s not directly from the dermatologist. What’s a short amount of time, 12 weeks , 8 weeks? Also, do you know if the a acid by The Ordinary has any fragrance or perfume ?

[@vampirelestat-6424]

Dont u experienced like tingling sensation? Or itchiness burning feeling?

[@erikadlloyd5586]

I have hooked on The Ordinary products for almost 2 years and I love this review 😍

[@adelegrossi5387]

Hi, I have recently purchased retinol 1%, caffeine solution, rose hip oil, glycolic 7%, vitamin c with HA spheres, niacinimide & the AHA 30% BHA 2%.... I'm 52 and I have some scarring along my jawline from acne, my neck is getting saggy and I have some slight jowls on my jawline. How would you recommend I use the products I have bought ? Thank you

[@netza6705]

I love the Niancimide. It has really worked magic with my skin. Used to be really oily and constantly having pimples have been a normal thing for me, soon 37. Bought the niamcimide last October and it quickly made my skin less oily and since then I have had ONE pimple. Wish I had known about it sooner. Their rosehip and squalane oils are also good, does wonders to the skin during our dry winters here in Sweden if/when moisturizer is not enough. And without making my skin more oily or acne prone (like coconut oil can be).

[@lisagray6964]

Could you please do a video on aging skin 40 and over routine using the Ordinary products... PLEASE!!!!! You guys are awesome.

[@staceydowning2838]

Yes please.

[@HoaHoang-it8sf]

Please

[@pamelakiki301]

Thank you Dr. I have been surfing with my skin for soo long now and I don't know what i can really use know. Please I need your help 🙏

[@shazeedalindemann2337]

I absolutely love The Ordinary! This stuff is so good ❤🙏

[@elenalatici9568]

Hey what about us old folks who don't have acne and can't afford a face lift? 🥴

[@iwonah.4487]

Great job both of you ! Love the chemistry between you and intelligent sense of humour 👌 spot on , Love from UK 🇬🇧

[@Achintya369]

Best of the Ordinary Lactic acid Caffeine Solution Azelaic acid Niacinamide Salicylic acid Retinol squalane

[@jjvermunt]

If you’re doing a video on green tea extract / egcg, could you please delve into the logP value + molecular weight (Dalton) and how, despite being suboptimal on both fronts, the ingredient can still yield good results?

[@firehorse9996]

Sheldon? Sheldon Cooper is that you?

[@anneloeswarmelink16]

Yes! I'd love a vitamin C special!! There's so many contradicting claims about what it does, and I don't know in combination with which ingredients it works well and with which things it clashes

[@v_r_6424]

Can you please talk about superoxide dismutase saccharide mist from deciem?

[@jameskivior6062]

I actually use the Caffeine and EGCG solution all over my face as an antioxidant serum
