The Ordinary 3 Best Anti-Aging Skincare Products For Fine Lines & Wrinkles

[@taytayqueen7024]

Just something my dermatologist told me: Skin showing signs of ageing like wrinkles isn’t unhealthy skin, it’s just not aesthetically ideal. Your skin can still be healthy as it shows ageing so you’re not doing anything wrong :)

[@CassandraBankson]

Taytay Queen YES TO THIS QUOTE, ALL DAY EVERY DAY!!! Your derm sounds amazing!!!

[@jamiehorwitz1227]

Absolutely!! No one *needs* any anti aging skincare. Aging is a normal part of life, wrinkles and all, but for many different reasons, a lot of people like to minimize or stave off as much as possible. But that does not mean you have to buy any means use anything other than a good for your skin type face wash and moisturizer (and SPF to protect from cancer).

@@jamiehorwitz1227 That depends! Anti-aging skincare is not needed for you. But for many of us it's NEEDED. My mum has been using retinol+vitamin E for over 20 years. Her skin looks amazing! I love using retinol, vitamin E and Niacinamide regularly. My skin looks better at 24 than when I was 18. So I think anti-aging care is need for me.

I’m 48 years old, I didn’t want to do any injectables, so I’ve been using the Argireline every morning all over face and neck, night time arireline followed by Matrixyl , then 3 times a week the Buffet + copper at night and one’s a week the retinol 0.5 in squalane . All I can say is that this year I had 3 young men 20 years younger than me hitting on me, so something must be bloody working well🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@christopheranderson1786]

I've just added Argireline and Matrixyl into my skincare and use both morning and night, and these two products work great together and can complement each other. I've also added The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. As well as reducing redness can help with acne Niacinamide reduces pore size by giving the skin more elasticity. Niacinamide has also been shown to repair skin cells damaged from exposure to UV rays that cause premature ageing. While all skin care products can be helpful for our skin, I complement them with a collagen supplement with other beneficial supplements as this helps to nourish, moisturize and support our skin from the inside out while providing good support on the inside.

I have a very mild case of psoriasis. On my face. Near the hair-line, wherever I sweat. Red inflamed skin, dehydrated but oily. After a special shampoo, the skin would harden, turn into flakes and then fall off, revealing new layer of already inflamed, pink skin underneath. I have suffered for years and years. Invested in some of the Ordinary products. It was all gone in one week. No red inflamed skin, no flakes, no scabs, nothing. Just a normal skin. I wish I had pictures and could post them here. I know this is unrelated. All I used was the Niacinamide + Zinc and the NMF. My skin would literally suck the NMF in like crazy. Now I am also using a cleanser from CeraVe, Retinol from the Ordinary, toner from Pixi and a night cream from Cetaphil. The results are amazing and I will continue with my routines. It works for me and it is fun! Thank you for your videos, they are amazing, full of information, knowledge and fun.

I've got most of the ordinary products, I'm 62 and I've been using the retinol in the evening, during the day l mix them up. You're right it is fun and it's actually very affordable and I believe it's pure products, thank you Brandon RIP. I'm in the UK so hi from the UK.

[@jamiehorwitz1227]

I have psoriasis too, but bad enough and in more places than not on my body so I take medication for it. To spot treat, my Dr gave me some retin A because it helps the skin turn over faster, which helps get rid of the skin that’s growing faster. Another one that helps is salicylic acid (I don’t know how much longer I can wait before it’s back in stock!!)

[@jamiehorwitz1227]

Word to the wise, if you are using the pixi glow tonic, it has a TON of fragrance in it. Like half of the ingredients list is fragrance so it could be extra irritation. TO glycolic acid has similar ingredients without the nasties

[@София-д3р7д]

Retinol/tretinoin/retinoids usually cause peeling and mild irritation, that's bcz they getting rid of your outer layer and boost new collagen and regenerate cells. Use them for as long as you can tolerate, when your skin starts peeling, looks a bit red, switch to a good moisturizer, then after a few days start again. Everytime it happens, your skin get better

[@Catania13]

@@София-д3р7д so according to your experience, Can I combine the Buffet and the Coffee eye cream with 0,05% Adapalene?

[@София-д3р7д]

@@Catania13 I use the caffeine serum 1st, then the buffet serum twice a day, in the morning and evening. Adapalene is another version of retinol or tretinoins. Use it at night only, right before bedtime, bcz light oxidizes them. It's best to use Retinols or adapalenes alone or you will dilute it other products and they become less effective. I use La Roche B3 retinol at night. This works for me. But if you want to layer your products, you can use your warbased serums 1st, after they absorb into your skin, you can use the adapalene. Use the buffet and other serums, then use adapalene on top. Don't use adapalene on top of moisturizers or oil based serums, adaplene won't be able to penetrate.

[@anakarencarrasco]

Hi there Cassandra, I was browsing through all the “the ordinary” products and I’ve noticed they have many different serums with retinol. So I was wondering if you have a video or a guide that explains or compares them, so i can choose the best anti ageing retinol serum or at least the most adequate for me. Thanks and love your videos! Really love your honesty :)

Hi! I've been bingeing a lot of your videos lately and, I have to say, you seem very trustworthy. It's hard to find actually informed people talking about skin issues out there, so I'm very glad I found your channel! I was wondering, do you happen to have any tips for blackhead-prone skin? I've had very large blackheads all over my face and my chest for almost ten years now (I'm almost 23), and whereas at first I brushed it off as just hormones, I now begin to wonder if there is something I can actively do. It has caused me a lot of issues, lowered my self esteem and pushed me to wear make up on a daily basis, which I don't think is very healthy. Is there ANYTHING I can do other than cleansing and scrubbing?

[@LouLou-Aus]

Try TO peeling mask once a week and maybe glycolic or the salicylic once or twice a week. The Niacinamide is also renowned to help improve texture and blackheads/pores too. All retinoids help with skin turnover and are excellent for oily, textured skin.

[@ftr5806]

Yes I'm just starting to get into the ordinary so these videos/series are very much appreciated

They also have an aminoacid serum. I don't know if it will do anything for antiaging, but it has really helped me with hydrating my skin and with sensitivity. I feel like it makes it feel less tight and raw, if that makes any sense. I definitely recommend it to anyone with dehydration prone skin!

[@ursulajh]

I use the Matrixyl from TO. The reviews on it are higher than than the buffet. Is the wider range of peptides in the buffet better than the potency of matrixyl? Also, could you review the antioxidants from the ordinary, specifically euk134 and pycnogenol? Love your channel! Enjoy the science!

I'm 49 with huge issues with pigmentation (pregnancy mask after my son who is now heading for 29) and years of putting cooking oil on my face as a kid and running out in the sun to get my "vitamins" because mam said "you'll be sorry if you're in bed with the cold in winter". Also an extremely violent assault has left my left eyelid falling down over my pupil and both eyelids are saggy as they regularly fill with fluid and get as small as two wee slits. I emailed The Ordinary and they planned out a morning regimen and 3 evening regimens - one to be used once a week and then rotate between the other two for the rest of week. Email them. They're great. You'll have to upload photos in good light for them to accurately assess your needs. So bloomin affordable. I spent about £55 sterling and I've an array of goodness. 3 weeks in today and my skin looks so healthy and my right eyelid is lifting. Left eyelid hasn't drooped over my pupil in 3 weeks either but I'm still tentative about reporting improvement with it yet - it sometimes happens like that anyway.

[@jasmineperez123]

Hi Henrietta! I'm soon to become a licensed esthetician and I just wanted to make some general recommendations. Retin-A is the only proven ingredient to reverse years of aging, it is very strong so allow yourself to build a tolerance from using it once weekly, to twice/three times weekly, and so on. Hydroquinone is a great but controversial ingredient for dark spots, I would recommend checking Paula's Choice triple action dark spot eraser 7% aha AS A SPOT TREATMENT 2-3 weekly, and maybe avoid using with the retin-a. There are so many other great products for skin lightening like AHAs, tranexamic acid, arbutin, licorice root, and vitamin c. It could get overwhelming but The Ordinary, and The Inkey List are great brands to start with, Paula Choice for a little more high end. PLEASE finish every routine with an SPF of 30 or higher, especially with AHAs and retinoids since they make your skin more sun sensitive :) I hope this helps, good luck and have fun and be safe!

I've been using the retinoid 2% in emulsion once a week and it has helped me so much with my hormonal breakouts. Excuse my ignorance but I've been wondering if i can use it around the eye area. Thanks in advance.

[@Saeroye]

Use low dose 0.5 or 1 % bulid up from lowest doses plus mix with eye cream but its best to use good eye cream high quality one.

[@saimakhan5704]

Thank You💐 i have been waiting for that video of urs: pls do make more videos about anti aging related products layering from “Ordinary” 👍👍

[@tecklengchoo1919]

Thank you for the video. May i know in what order should i use The Ordinary Buffet, Retinoid 2% Emulsion and the Caffeine Solution?

[@denisethistlewaitesuitnsne923]

Love your channel and these products. Can you please do a video for anti-aging AM & PM routine? I've bought so many products from The Ordinary but have seen conflicting info re: layers (order) to apply. Help....

[@qiusyah]

Hi Cassandra, Can you advise how to layering these products? AM - "Buffet" - Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA PM - "Buffet" - Granactive Retinoid 2% or 5% in Squalane - 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil - 100% Plant-Derived Squalane

[@user-em2fj5rj8m]

Always start with water based serums, then light oils, then the thick moisturizers

[@qiusyah]

@@user-em2fj5rj8m yes that basic I already know but I can't really differentiate categories belong to them. 😅

[@user-em2fj5rj8m]

@@qiusyah don’t know if I understand you correctly but the granactive retinoid is not a water based serum. So if you for example use the Vitamine C Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% which is a water based serum. This comes before the retinoid. Is that what you meant?

[@dawnhapgood2907]

This is basically my skin care routine plus the rose hip oil at night and Paulas choice super light spf in the day. Amazing products that make me look and feel more youthful 😁😁😁

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

Waw I'm totally ordering This but not all 3 I do also red light I can't do everything. I want coffeïne oil the First product and the peeling pHa from the other video but I have to Figure how to do in routine

[@Heligirl27]

You are amazing!! I found you from all the hype of The Ordinary on TikTok, but your channel has helped me understand all the products so much! I can’t wait to try!! Thank you!

[@Friesian-q6u]

I really look forward to your videos. They are so informative, no mindless blabbing, short and to the point! Love it💕💕💕

[@georgiahayes7288]

Can you use emulsion with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% aswell as marine Hyaluronic and if you can which one should you use first

[@bluecurlygirl]

Using all three and then some!!! Went a bit crazy in the beginning and ordered about 12 bottles!! I know crazy. 3 were retinols (for easing in). Watched all your videos and then went a little off track when I got online! Ah well. Now I know what suits my skin and what isn't really for me. It's all good though because I now have my 14 (almost 15) year old starting to use some things too so between the two of us, we're sorted for a while. She has minor breakouts from time to time and the lactic acid and niacinamide is really helping it. We're going to do a patch test on her this week for the AHA peel. We'll be referring to your video for patch testing AGAIN as always.

[@taradiddles]

Hi I am from the Philippines and am looking for best eye cream and saw that The Ordinary is one of them, and when I searched for reviews online I came across your channel. I have a Normal Skin type and wanted to try other The Ordinary products and would love to know your suggestions. ❤

[@mataform]

Can you tell me in what order to use these products. Do I need to leave time between the 3 of them.? When can I use them and how often? Do I need to leave retinol off for a day or two or do it all the time. I am an older woman and wnat to keep my skin as nice as possible. Thank you.

[@jenwiggans7651]

This! Please answer.

[@hellovous]

I've recently ordered "Buffet" and patch tested it on my inner arm which resulted in a rash. Do you have suggestions for similar products from other lines that might be gentler? I have sensitive skin which is why I'm trying to avoid retinoids.

[@DamiraGolubic]

Yes, it is all about slowing down the aging 😉 As a 44y old, in my last order from Deciem I had AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and Retinol 1% in Squalane. Personally, I add face yoga to good skin care regimen. Loving your videos and scientific coverage 💖

[@bluecurlygirl]

Do you get irritation from the retinol in squalane? I got awful irritation from the 0.5% I'm on the 2% granactive in emulsion and it's great. No irritation at all. Only on it 1.5 weeks.

[@DamiraGolubic]

@@bluecurlygirl I have used it now for a week and got zero irritation. 1% retinol in squalane should be as strong as RetinA 0.05% which I used before also without irritation. I have seen that retinoid in granactive is less irritant and I might try it in the next order. For now, I am happy if I do not see the change (read: signs of aging) 😂

[@joannesmith6920]

Ahh, I’ve been waiting for you to do this video as I am a 54 year old woman with some fine lines and wrinkles. But, I still have oily skin 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@lindaackerman3507]

Can you use caffeine with copper peptides?...thx, you are brilliant.☺

[@priyankashete8232]

After watching your videos for days. Finally decided to get the ordinary products and one them is the buffet. Hope I get them soon 😃. Can't wait to try them.

[@camilasuarez5775]

Hi, I know this was a long time ago but I was wondering on how it went. I am currently researching for some good products for wrinkles. Thanks!

[@melaniakhan4125]

It’s her voice for me it’s just so asmr

[@malaiserirahman9673]

Hei Cassandra..I love u..!!!!. U made my search for skincare easier and less stressful. F one is to use all 3 of those...can we discontinue using Hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide?. I use Retinol 0.2% in Squalene for 2 months now and glad to say..my 44 year old big acnes have receded to almost none!..yeayy..been thinking of upping it to 5% but not yet. Thank you Cassandre..u are now officially my new bestie..

[@chrissymullins1579]

At 28 I am pondering on purchasing these products. I have acne prone skin. Would these help aid in redness also? I ADORE your content and knowledge.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

I've read that the granactive retinoids are fairly useless so I use the 1% Retinol every night (only at night) and it's had a remarkable effect on my 65-year-old skin. I use the Copper peptides and caffeine serum and love them both. I like so many of their products that when I run out of one sometimes I go to another I like. Their products are often out of stock simalar to 100% Pure ... I wonder if this is a marketing tatic or ....

[@cocochocs3126]

Mama Loves the Beach! Yeah I wonder that too Sick of looking for items that are constantly out of stock

[@missstorrm]

I'm using the Ordinary routine for dehydrated skin and I'd like to include the Caffeine Solution into it (at least for the evening). I'm just wondering if I should apply it before or after the Hyaluronic Acid. Or maybe it doesn't matter?

[@angelight677]

I read use the watery based stuff first than the thicker ones u can mix caffeine w/any..

[@Rashipandhi]

Darling, please suggest something for large pores on face!

[@duaasad8564]

Paulas choice bha 2% !!! Buy from the website the travel size and if you don’t like it they will refund moneyyyy :) reccomnded by skincare on hyram

[@Rashipandhi]

@@duaasad8564 thanks. I will try that . Have you experienced any improvement post using this ?

[@duaasad8564]

Yessss no more blackheads or acne

[@persisv]

If I purchased all of these products, how would I go about using them? How would you recommend I layer them?

[@Elizabethselby]

At 52 my skincare is filled with HA, retin a, and tons of oil cleansing along with serums and really good tried and true moisturizers like ceraVe or feta Phil they never break me out and they go on well after serums and HA. I'm looking for a super hydrating sunscreen that will work well with a pre makeup routine. Moisture booster and HA SERUM followed by ceraVe and after about 10 minutes my Bobbi brown vitamin face base. I keep trying to find a good sunscreen that works, but also is moisturizing. Does this unicorn exist? Love your channel. I suffered from acne into my 30s. My daughter had to use accutane, but she has beautiful skin too. I'm constantly telling her things I learn from you. She thinks I'm more aware than most girls her age who are into it all. I'm definitely into it all.

[@crystalbaker2563]

I have an important question, if I use niaminacide and retnoids in the evening, can I get away with NOT washing my face in the morning if I am using AM products that should not be mixed with my PM products?

[@Mylifeinspainover50]

I absolutely LOVE the caffeine and Zinc serum. I looked at it as an eye cream as I don't usually use eye creams but thought to myself dang I'm mixing that with my Buffet and Matrxy 3000 to be on before my morning mist of Haru Haru Black Bamboo Mist. Now I see my favourite beauty Guru recommending using it this way yay!!! Lots of love from Ireland and thank you for being you ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@Benbeenbee]

Hi just discovered your channel when searching for information about the caffeine serum, and I absolutely love your energy! keep up the good work!

[@yteenxo1106]

Heard that you should not use these products together (retinol and copper peptides). So you can do peptides in the morning and retinol in the evening. What do you think? :)

[@mustangmikki1947]

Yes that would be okay

[@beatricevaughn245]

I have bought the caffeine serum. However, it seems to have quite a different texture from the one shown on video... it's more viscous and definitely extremely sticky...

[@thanoschristou8968]

How can you layer the last product caffeine +egcg? I use retinol and niacimide, every night and morning I use vitamin c . ❤

[@FIFII]

your skin has improved! I remember your foundation routine when you have severe acne!!! How did it clear up?

[@carollaurence1953]

I love how informative your videos are. I will have to start using my caffeine EGCG on my face also. Thank you.

[@tamarshughliashvili7813]

Hello Cassandra♥️ Please, answer me if u can, can i use these three products together or independently? I want to use the ordinary retinol for antiaging, but dont know which of them to buy, there are a lot, i have dry skin. Thanks a lot♥️

[@TheLinguaChannel]

when you go to the Deciem website, they will give you advise on which products you can mix and use that suitable to your skin type/ areas you want to treat :) they will email you back in a couple of days! very useful

[@donnamichellegregory1421]

What shouldn't I use at the same time as the caffeine?

[@kso35]

Cassandra, when are you going to start your own skincare line??? I trust your knowledge and want your products!

[@anytasweet4499]

I love your channel, since I found it I have learned so much about skincare, and I am addicted of watching video after video 😅 thank you for doing this! 😊

[@zahrazaza3220]

Hello, Thank you Cassandra, amazing as usual, I have a question, how to use all these together and how to integrate them into the skin routine that already contains acids etc ?
