I swooped in like an eagle on that play button. 🦅

[@tajmahaly7129]

I hope you enjoyed it!🧡

[@michelle.kari_]

Chile..the way I clicked so fast😂😂

[@lolaley7683]

This is CRAZY. I literally was researching them today because I want to really updo my skincare. Ion need much. But I want to help my skin as I age

[@adao_chi]

man idk how your videos always pop up on my recommended page the second i need them lmao i was JUST looking through the ordinary skincare line bc my friends kept recommending the peeling solution,,,, maybe it's a sign that i should subscribe 👁👄👁

[@tajmahaly7129]

You should! Thank you for watching! 🧡

[@khandygurl01]

Mannn when I saw that article say MELASMA, I just got sooo excited! Melasma is MUCH deeper than just regular hyperpigmentation. So niacinamide does more than just brighten. It’s getting deeeeeep into the melanocytes. Ahhh I’ve been using my ordinary niacinamide & I thought it was the vitamin c serum that was blasting my melasma! But it’s it’s the niacinamide 🙌🏾🙌🏾 But... I’ve watched the niacinamide part of the video multiple times & cannot seem to understand a clear reason for disliking the ordinary niacinamide?? I know you said the 15% version is too much, but the normal one is 10%... Which is the same as the good molecules version 🤔

[@chaneelewis7212]

I like how you explain the chemistry behind these products

[@tajmahaly7129]

Glad you enjoyed the video!🧡

[@MegaSportsAgent]

I really like The Ordinary products.. but currently I'm loving Good Molecules!

[@keyarahlangley2911]

I really appreciate you making this video and taking your time to explain the pros and cons. I'm trying to improve my skin in so many ways and I was thinking about purchasing some of the ordinary products but I am very hesitant. So I think I'm going to try out Good Molecules

[@MZDezi1010]

Thank you so much!!! I get so overwhelmed with skincare

[@tajmahaly7129]

You're welcome! Glad I could help!🧡

[@kriskaneki8112]

I found that I like to use the toner more on my hands and feet and body more then I do on my face. You need to try it! The facts that its so cheap makes it more perfect for the body and everything.

[@daishab.5266]

Taj can we get a video on how to get rid of strawberry legs or kp ?👀🤗

[@TriinaG]

Yes please

[@taylorcamille5493]

The ordinary 7% glycolic acid is actually really good for that. It's a little strong for the face but it does wonders for strawberry legs.

[@xxmoniquexx1966]

Ms Taj thank you for speaking your truth and saving faces every where.

[@tajmahaly7129]

No problem!🧡

[@tyresseferguson2462]

Higher isn't better, a lot of derms say 5% of Niacinamide is enough. The Ordinary toning solution and peeling solution is great for the body up to 3 times a week. Sounds like since Estee Lauder purchased the company they have reformulated some of the products cause I didn't have a problem with the hyaluronic acid serum being sticky.

[@tajmahaly7129]

I freakin loveeeee that toner 🧡

[@rakeemalexi]

As a black man with pretty ok skin for someone who doesnt really have a skincare routine aside from over the counter branded products this was very helpful because the ordinary was highly recommended

[@tajmahaly7129]

Hi Rakeem! Thank you for watching! People love to recommend the ordinary for the price point. But there are better products out there!

[@crystallane]

Morning routine: Cereva Foaming Facial Cleanser and Cereva SPF with Vanicream moisturizer Night Time Routine: Panoxyl, Ordinary Toner, Vanicream moisturizer, SPF, aquaphor healing ointment and Differin. Now, my question is when I use the toner, my skin starts to tingle; somewhat like a sting. Should I stop using it or rotate every other day until my skin adjust to it? Or I probably be scrubbing too hard. 🤣🤣🤣 I even just swipe once and it didn’t sting as much. Love your content and being informative 💫🤍💫 So, I’ll be returning the one I have for the one you referred, because my skin got darker from the sun and my dermatologist recommended that one🤦🏽‍♀️

[@LoveToday8]

I watched a Black cosmetic chemical formulator, April Basi, talk about Niacinamide and I learned that melanated folks don't need a high percentage of niacinamide. I was going to buy the ordinary product and I'm so glad I saw that video. I'll keep using my Good Molecules toner and buy the Niacinamide serum at some point. Glycolic acid broke me out so it's a no for my oily and somewhat acne prone skin. Great video!

[@TeeTeeeDeee]

Hey girl! Lovee your vids 💕 literally helping me get my entire life together lol. If you haven't already - could you pleasee do an explainer video (or series?) on each one of the popular ingredients in these products you talk about? (glycolic sumthin.... niacina-wha? lol) I'm pretty new to the skin care world but I want to be an informed buyer. And even helping us know which are more "natural" derived vs. "chemical" or toxic? I know there's plenty of vids already out there but you just give us the JUICE lol.

[@joysmith120]

Yes please please that would be brilliant if you could. I’m also new to this world and am trying to learn about the more technical side of these products and what they do and how, when and where I can use them thanks 🙏❤️

[@emeraldjones5195]

Taj, can you do a video on Retinol for dark skin and how often to use it?

[@Ash3aKosh]

Well give me a dupe for the peeling solution because nothing else gives me the glow that it does. Please!

[@AdrienneJ44]

Love your videos Taj 🙌🏽 so helpful!!!

[@tajmahaly7129]

Thanks so much!!🧡

[@Andrea.Sanchez-Jimenez]

Love your videos, I’ve been binge watching them!!! But I am confused about the hyaluronic acid + B5 serum. You said it contains Niacinamide but if I’m not mistaken Niacinamide is actually vitamin B3. So did you say the serum contains Niacinamide because it has the same benefits of vitamin B5 or are vitamin B3 and B5 the same? 😅

[@beautyasana5149]

I noticed that as well but I don’t think B5 (which is Panthenol) has all the same results as Niacinamide though it’s an excellent humectant as well as emollient.

[@tajmahaly7129]

Sorry ladies! I misspoke someone else said something and I apologize! I did this video in a hurry before work 🥴

[@shakieawilliams5995]

I love the peel and I’ve actually seen results

[@tajmahaly7129]

I'm glad you love it! It works really great on my bikini line

[@budgetwithtiffany9647]

I am SO GLAD you did this girl! I’ve missed you!🥺 but girl that Ordinary Hyaluronic serum gave me the ILLEST allergic reaction. And granted it could have been because my skin barrier (learned that from you girl!!) was out of wack but now I’m traumatized lmao

[@tamaraknox4102]

Can you do this for The Inkey List and Skinscript, as I am a new user for both, I just purchased the beginner skin kit from your spa and Im in love, also purchased the skin care products you recommended for dark spots. Thanks for being you and caring about us and our skin so much!!!!!!

[@kerriramsey1897]

Once the original Founder of The Ordinary passed away lots of their ingredients became much more harsh.

[@lisaaaa437]

Would you suggest using glycolic and hyaluronic back to back on a daily basis? Btw..didn't know niacinamide and hyaluronic were the same thing 🥴

[@hannahcarrillo2204]

Finally found someone I can trust!!

[@tajmahaly7129]

I'm so glad I can be helpful 😇

[@esthermazi774]

The way seeing this video made me glad even before I watched it. You look soo great by the way🤩. Please never go MIA on us...keep them videos coming 🤗. Would love it if you could do a video on body lotions that'll help with bumps and spots on the body...thanks sug😘

[@aalvenda6443]

I suffered from acne for years, then I found the ordinary and use the bha + aha and the retinoid alternating. It changed my life for skincare. I think it really depends on your skin hype. And how much skin you build up.

[@monique2396]

Please help us out on ways to tighten pores

[@RachelNicole]

I’ve been waiting for this 😊 I love their serums!

[@nubi688]

Great video, can you do a video on the Inkey List and what products are great for acne prone skin, Pros and Cons. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great day.

[@Broaderin]

I actually think you favor Paige Marie Hurd from power dmx god daughter with this wig ❤️

[@rareko7496]

I wanted to try the Good Molecules Toner but I use the Inkey List Niacinamide. Is that too much? Should I rotate them out? Use the toner on the opposite days of the serum?

[@daenarodriguez1543]

Thanks for the video, it was very informative and engaging. I feel the ordinary has a great line of products, and they are pretty good on directions how to use, what not to mix with and ph level. People should educate themselves before using any skincare products regardless of brand. I like that the ordinary is affordable enough for any new / in training estie or any skincare guru to start with.

[@Lele-er9xt]

Hello, I love your channel! Can you recommend a good moisturizer and sunscreen for normal to dry skin..acne prone..and I'm 56 years young🙂 had clear skin until the past year or so..hormonal and acne from wearing the mask! Ty for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@Soliology]

Taj could we use the Good Molecules niacinamide toner everyday?? 🤔

[@Dionne19]

wondering the same rn

[@estar12]

Omg yes you’ve helped me so much

[@tajmahaly7129]

I'm glad!🧡

[@keamber.vaughn]

Can you do a video on Naturium products? I picked up the Niacinamide one after seeing your affordable drug store video. I also use the Glycolic Acid one but didn’t know if you suggest that one too

[@user-jg9uc4in5u]

Hi! What mineral sunscreen do u recommend for poc? A good one ? Lightweight? And doesn’t leave much of a cast? 🤍

[@aurelie8386]

So you don't recommend the niacinamide serum because it can cause allergies so if it does nothing to me can I still use it ?

[@KeairaJay]

I am binge watching your vids and realized I did not watch this one yet. OMG I was one of those people (hides face) that bought a crapload of The Ordinary products with all the hype. I actually got a chemical burn from that AHA peeling serum and I didn't even leave it on my face past the recommended time. Great tip that you can use it on the body, I still have it so maybe I'll try it.

[@tajmahaly7129]

Hi Keaira! Thank you so much for watching! It's completely okay, alot of people tend to buy a lot of their products and have had several similar experiences to you! I hope than you are sunscreening and using some brightening actives to help with any residual scarring. Let me know if you need any recommendations! 🧡

[@ShakiraKGardner]

Thanks for this video! The ordinary has worked wonders for me over the panny..but I carefully reviewed what products to use and how...I definitely going to switch to inkey list when I run out. The good molecule toner. Thanks for this video!💕💕

[@tajmahaly7129]

Glad you enjoyed it!🧡

[@AyandaMN]

Hi Taj!🌸 please could you do a video recommending best exfoliaters for different skin types? You're kind of the only person I trust now😂

[@karatalksaboutstuff7333]

I love using that glycolic acid on my body twice a week! But, yeah...way too strong for daily use, and DEFINITELY too strong for my face.

[@jailenebaez]

How do you feel about their Mandelic Acid? My esthetician told me to purchase it but, I’m not sure how often I should use it as I have active acne and sensitivity

[@emeraldjones5195]

I have it and I actually like it! Its not super oily and its effective.

[@sunnydaynocloudz]

Can't wait til you get to chemical peels girl. Cause I am in love with them lol. Great video per usual.

[@tajmahaly7129]

Thank you!🧡

[@ansn1989]

Hi Taj! How do you feel about the guasha trend?

[@yasmeenjordan]

I thought niacinamide was vitamin b3. Pantothenic acid is vitamin b5. I've seen a few people take B5 to help with their cystic acne.

[@tajmahaly7129]

You are absolutely right! I accidentally misspoke. I apologize 🧡

[@Markees_34]

thanks for this because the nia-something serum burns my face and i didnt know the toner was doing damage as well. you saved my face. many thanks

[@tajmahaly7129]

Glad I could help!🧡

[@victoriaduffy3153]

I never heard of Good Molecules. What are the 3 top products by Good Molecules should I start off with??

[@tajmahaly7129]

Definitely the niacinamide, toner and serum, their gentle retinol is pretty good too!

[@sheralyncaupain9481]

I don't know if i understood it wrong but did she say at 1:30 ''a.k.a niacinamide''? Because B5 is panthanol not niacinamide (i'm sure she knows this too btw)

Does anyone have any tips for dry hands. I’ve tried different creams but nothing has worked❤️

[@AyoRalph5]

What about 100% vitamin C oil? Can I put 100% C oil on my face instead of vitamin C serum?

[@tajmahaly7129]

Hi! I wouldn't recommend it. Vitamin C serums/ cocktails/ oils are really hard to formulate and I have yet to see a vitamin C oil that actually can make a difference in the skin

This is THE FIRST PERSON THAT TOLD THE TRUTH ALL the Damn dermatologist on KZbin lying talking about the ordinary is so awesome etc. etc. definitely is not especially the niacinamide it definitely does not work

[@naeeshe]

Yeah, I am not a fan of Ordinary at all. I tried their products on my face and my skin was not here for it. I am 10000% an Inky List and Good Molecules gyal. However, I will try the recommend products you suggested on my bikini line

[@tajmahaly7129]

Yeah I went and played with some Ordinary products the other day and regretted it. Good Molecules all day lol

[@blessngifted]

Every dermatologist I've seen on KZbin for dark skin is pretty much against that Glycolic Acid toner. Percentage is way too high. Agree not good.

You have to do what’s best for you. Everyone’s skin is not the same and will not react the same way. The products are relatively cheap. Buy what you want and then patch test them.
