I think it’s great that the ordinary is now starting to get some competition ! Both are affordable and accessible to beginners and I love being able to have the choice and not be restricted by my budget

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Well said! I agree with you!

[@pennyzsaalfeld]

I use a lot of the ordinary's products. While I do not have any interest in either good molecules or makeup revolution's remake of their line, this brand actually looks really good. I would be interested in trying their products.

[@cretan982]

Agree. Also think The Ordinary seems less innovative since its founder's passing.

[@pennyzsaalfeld]

@@cretan982 I don't necessarily think that's true. He just died a few months ago. Keep in mind, they already have a massive range. They also just released a new product after he died. For a skincare company to have the kind of range they do is pretty impressive, especially at the price point they're at. I'm looking forward to seeing what else the inkey list puts out as well..

1st for entertainment, 2nd for notes and 3rd time a few months later, cause I forget what’s about hahaha

[@vanelaguereja]

Just because it is packaged in a plastic container, I go for The Ordinary. Really, no need for more plastic especially on the simple formulas.

[@libee84]

Yeah, I wish they were in glass. Too much plastic in the environment as it is.

[@lostrustkl]

[@siaxzo]

[@saritha_srb9122]

So true!! Also Ordinary is cheaper considering it is packaged in bottles..

Isn't glass about as recyclable as plastic?

[@jdishmael001]

Your vids, especially brand overviews, literally blow my mind. And you always come across as VERY well informed. Keep em coming

[@gothamista]

Wow this means the world to me, thank you so much!!

[@priyankaprasad5863]

Renee- when I started watching your channel over a year ago, I couldn’t imagine having clear , glowy skin, but having followed your routines and recommendations, my skin has really transformed and now I have people asking me for my recommendations :). Thank you! I’m pretty excited for this giveaway, most intrigued by the Lactic Acid and the Caffeine eye serum.

[@gothamista]

I love this. Thank you!!

[@buzzmeanytime]

@@gothamista Which ones are good for combo skin? Oily in the T section. Active life style. Running, swimming, acting in plays. I work in doors and outdoors. I sleep 4-5hours per day. No acne problems. Razor bump issues and some scaring from razor bumps on the neck and lower cheeks.

[@eleonoradeane5170]

Love The Inkey List and love The Ordinary too. Use them both, it's a good synergy.

[@NA-tb9hc]

When the Queen speaks, you best be listening. Thank you so much for all the info Renee

[@brennonmitchell7753]

Your gonna make me buy this whole product line aren’t you😂😭

[@4everrainie]

As someone who eats a lot of turmeric, that turmeric moisturizer looks amazing 😍

[@brandileechurch2964]

Ohhh, I can't wait to try these out! Especially looking forward to implementing the Q10 and Hepta-peptide to my regimen! I love when companies make skin care affordable and simple!

[@sparklingjuice4671]

Ever since I came across your Ordinary Review video (which I'm really thankful for), I became a huge fan of their products and bought most of them for my oil/combination acne-prone skin, especially the Niacinamide one. I'm really delighted to see that there's another company releasing high-quality, affordable products too though and I'm looking forward to trying them out if possible, specially the Salicylic Acid Cleanser! P.S Thanks for the amazing, well-informed video, I'd have no idea what to do with my skin without them.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

That niacinamide serum is a game changer for oily skin! I hate when I run out and it's out of stock.

[@jadormycc8819]

I bought most of the serums and acid from the ordinary and get like it does nothing for my skin. Their product keeps balling up on me. The only thing I like from their products are the acids and I felt that those works.its so cheap I wish that it worked on my skin.

[@sparklingjuice4671]

@@jadormycc8819 Balling usually happens when you put too much on your skin and the order to which you apply the serums/acids also impact how effective they are on your skin. Their website actually helped me with this so you could check it out again and see if it'd be more effective for you or not in case you wanted to give it another chance, unless you already knew all of this u can just ignore me - hope it was helpful

[@countessmouse]

Yay for affordable skincare! I'm really looking forward to finding out how well the Hepto-Peptide serum works.

[@snigdhagarg3359]

Loved the review. So glad we finally have brands making affordable skin care! I really want to try the Alpha Hydroxy Acid!

[@Liara_Nash]

Thank you for such a timely and thorough review of this line! I've been on the hunt for a gentle starter retinoid to deal with acne scarring as nothing else seems to be lifting the pigmentation. This looks like a great place to begin and would be my first choice - at this time in my life. You made so many of the products appealing!!

[@HairFanatics]

I've been in the Beauty Industry for nearly 37 years, and never get tired of trying new products. I find you a pleasure to watch, and I take your recommendations seriously. After hearing about this line for a while now, YOU have convinced me to want very much to try them.. Keep up the good work! 😉

[@gothamista]

That means so much to me coming from you! Thank you so much! 🙏🙌

[@skylar5906]

Great now I want every single thing after watching this 😂😭 this brand sounds right up my alley! I want to try the polyglutamic acid and the turmeric moisturizer the most! The cleanser sounds amazing as well. Love these types of videos, they're so helpful!!

[@zaidarodriguez3982]

Shout out to those of us struggling with acne prone skin, hyperpigmentation and signs of aging! Really want to try the BHA and the turmeric moisturizer! Affordable and effective skincare for the win!

[@sakinaa6093]

[@VENIKA]

That breakdown was splendid, I knew nothing about this brand other than seeing it absolutely everywhere and this video really helped me!

[@p1ngp0ngpanda]

This whole line sounds amazing, thank you for the review! I definitely want to to try the lactic acid!

[@chloeb633]

After struggling with acne for years I didn’t think it was possible but my skin looks the best it’s ever been since I started watching your videos and purchasing products you recommend. Thank you Renee! Would love to try the kaolin mask!

[@sunshinegonzales332]

What products help you heal your acne prone skin, especially moisturizer? Im Suffering from acne for the longest time 😪

[@fritos5579]

Wow; this looks like a great line. I love the simple packaging. I’m very interested in trying the eye serum, the HA acid serum and the multi biotic moisturizer.

[@beckyestep4893]

I started later than I wish I would have on my skincare journey, waiting until I was in my late 20,s to really start taking care of my skin but it has become a great love of mine! Several of my go to products I have learned about and tried because of watching your channel! Thank you for creating such great review content! I am so excited about checking out this line, all these products look amazing! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@belleangelie]

This was an awesome review, thank you for laying it all out! I really have liked some products from the ordinary but I’m starting to refine my skincare needs and try to focus on things that my skin needs, while also being cosmetically elegant. I think this brand sounds like a natural next step for those who started out on the ordinary and now would like some small upgrades. The Bha serum and the moisturizers sounded amazing. Also the polyglutamic acid sounds like a winner 😍. Can’t wait to see what they come out with in the future, I’m definitely invested.

[@KandyG]

Wow this sounds amazing! Q10 sounds great and would probably be first purchase from them.

[@iloveu975]

I would really like to try the pre/pro/post-biotic moisturiser! It's so different to anything I've ever tried, and also extremely budget friendly!

[@paula_-lh1bv]

Finally a brand that has affordable prices and good products. I can't wait to get my hands on their products, they all seem so interesting! I'm especially looking forward the retinol and q10. This brand overview is great, thank you so much for doing them. I love your channel since you're always very well informed.

[@a4szely]

I really love your videos! You taught me so much about my skin and what it actually needs. Your videos are really informative and I love that you feature affordable products and talk about the way they work.

How exciting! I definitely want to try the Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Squalane!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@natm690]

I'm suuuuper intrigued by the polyglutamic acid and Q10 serum 😮

[@kaligrant8668]

As a person who suffers from skin care confusion due to all the products in the market, it’s easy to get sucked into the mindset that the more expensive the product, the more effective the product. Thank you for bringing an affordable brand to our attention with insights on how to use it. It is so refreshing to see your videos that are backed by usable INFORMATION. I’m interested in the BHA, the salicylic cleanser and the collagen serum. All things that are already in my Sephora cart!

[@gyjohns1782]

Thanks for an awesome review. Your reviews are always so thorough. I'm very interested in the products for mature skin. This review is perfectly timed for me. The q-10, collagen, peptide, those acids and the retinol looks interesting.

[@melanie-1027]

What an interesting lineup of products! I find the peptide serums and the caffeine eye serum the most intriguing. Thank you for always being so thorough in your reviews! 🌹🌷🌺

[@beapanares9730]

Absolutely love how informative this video is! I have oily acne prone skin and I can't seem to control it. Would really love to try the BHA (it sounds like it was made for me lol), salicylic acid cleanser (i think would be great), polyglutamic acid (i live in a tropical country) and the kaolin mask! 😍😍

[@MarauderetteForever]

This whole line seems to speak to my soul on another level! I haven't been this excited over a line as simple yet still complex as this that I was for the Ordinary. I can't wait to get my hands on the Q10, Polyglutamic Acid, and the Beta Hydroxy Acid 💜💜💜

[@DreamLilies2]

Thank you for reviewing this brand. I've been curious about it for a while now and you sold me on it! Especially the Q10, BHA and Turmeric moisturizer

Hopefully I can give it a try 💪

[@dgmojojojo]

One thing i immediately notice is what a beautiful packaging. Thank you for introducing us this affordable but hopefully effective skincare brand. How does the collagen works to you? It sounds it’s perfect for post acid or retinol that i use alternatively everyday
