When I first started using The Ordinary products, I was amazed by the affordability and effectiveness, but I quickly learned that proper usage is key to seeing the best results and avoiding irritation. For example, Glycolic Acid 7% is fantastic for reducing blackheads, especially on the nose, but applying it gently with a cotton pad once a day in the evening really helps avoid over-exfoliation. It’s important never to use it on broken skin and to always use sunscreen afterward because it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. The AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution is super powerful but should never be used directly on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin. Instead, I use it once a week for body care by mixing it with VC powder and body lotion as a gentle exfoliating mask. This combo is my ultimate weekly treat for smooth, glowing skin all over. For anti-aging, the Buffet serum is a must-try, but be aware that it’s a bit sticky, so I reserve it for nighttime. This product combines peptides and hyaluronic acid to help with fine lines and skin texture. To tackle tired eyes and dark circles from late nights, the Caffeine 5% + EGCG serum is a lightweight gel that absorbs quickly without stickiness. It really helps to reduce puffiness when applied gently around the eyes. Overall, The Ordinary offers a variety of solutions that can work wonders when used correctly. Always patch test new products, start slowly to see how your skin reacts, and incorporate sunscreen daily when using acids. This approach has made my skincare journey enjoyable and effective, and I highly recommend it for beginners wanting to build a solid, affordable skincare routine.
The Peeling Solution (AHA+BHA) is intended for use on the face & neck and has excellent results. Don’t use more than twice a week, 7-10 minutes, and apply Buffet after. It does burn the first time you use it, but if you’re consistent 2x a week, it won’t burn or even tingle after awhile. I’m 58 and swear by it!
