[@bradg.8469]

Hello again! I was wondering if I could pick your brain concerning my "skincare routine." I put that in quotes because I'm kind of clueless whereas all this is concerned. A lil' background... I'm 51, with dry, sensitive skin. I have some sun damage and fine lines and wrinkles as well as large pores. I am currently using the following Ordinary products in the A.M. and P.M. in this order. The squalene cleanser, Hylamide SubQ eyes, Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide w/ zinc, Buffet, Hylaronic acid, Natural moisturizing factors, and sunscreen during the day. I'm curious if I am using too much at one time and whether I have the application order correct. I want to incorporate something for my fine lines and wrinkles well. Any recommendations? Ok... now that I've taken up your time and written a book... i will let you go😉. Please take care and any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Be safe!

[@bg.594]

i bought 2 the ordinary niacinamide serums before and they never foamed even if i used too much product. my third bottle (newly bought) foamed earlier when i was doing my night routine and i freaked because i thought it was fake or expired! thank u sooo much for this video! i thought my heart was about to explode ....

I only experienced foaming once end it's either because i used too much, or i still had some residue from my mask. I've been using lesser now and always made sure I cleaned my face properly before applying it. Foaming's never happened again.

How much do you use on your whole face? How much is too much?

[@elizabethrostro5831]

@@jbaby283 do not over use products. Generally a pea size is used 3 to 4 drops this is thick so I would say 3 drops aka pea size. Thinner I would say 4 drops I apply all my skin care to my neck as well tap it in. Serums are 1oz for a reason because they a concentrated so it's meant to last months if using correctly.

I use this every day and I have never ever had foaming. I only use a minimum amount because I don't want to waste it... though you'd be surprised how many heart attacks I've nearly had from almost dropping it while it's open and somehow miraculously not spilling any. Anyway, I was using it morning and night, but I've decided to just used it in the morning so I can benefit from the oil control. I think my skin likes it just once a day so I don't want to use too much.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Here is some useful information from the Ordinary: "The general rule of thumb for order of application is: 1. Water-based serums 2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations 3. Creams & suspensions If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first). That being said, we recommend applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing. " So your order of application would be: Caffeine Solution Niacinamide Moisturizer

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Sorry, I don't speak dutch, but I used Google translate 😆It's wrong ;) There is absolutely no difference. Most of the time, it's big magazines mentioning it with tons of affiliate links and no source. Also, if you listen/read carefully they always say that it "can" or it "maybe" etc. because they have no clue. I have quite a few books at home because this topic is very interesting, but even those sources extremely vague. And it seems that not much research has been done. I assume that's why they use it.. Niacinamide: imgur.com/a/9KpWM3S Hyaluronic Acid: imgur.com/a/Q0EDyVq I think it's best to try it out for yourself. Also, it depends on your skin type. If you have oily skin, try using the Hylauronic Acid on dry skin works much better!
