I just wish hyram would make his own skincare line so I don't have to search anywhere else. edit: Before anyone going to write critical/negative comment here, this is just a simple comment. I simply stated that it was nice to see someone like him that cares about buyer/user a lot. wish skin care line companies would be more like him. c'mon you guys are better than bringing unnecessary negative vibe.
When I flip a product to read ingredients I immediately pretend I'm Hyram like, okay that's a good ingredient that will cleanse your face without overly stripping and is good for sensitive skin. I-
Thanks but according to me. Rosehip seed oil isn't the worst actually for me it's the best I use the same one and Oh boy! It really saved my skin and prevented whiteheads.
the ordinary is not perfect, but we owe them so much. when i tried to get into skin care i had the choice between the drugstore and expensive brands youtubers recommended like kiehls or fresh. the ordinary bridged that price gap and for a lot of us shifted the focus from packaging and claims to ingredients and concentrations. brands like the inkey list would probably not be here if it wasnt for the ordinary and their success. They have great customer service and ethics, i will probably always have 2 or 3 ordinary products in my routine and will always support and recommend them ❤️
I agree, we do owe TO. Not only is it creating demand for ingredient based, less gimmicky skincare but their competitors have to compete with their prices too. I love seeing products boast about their ingredients rather than overpromising with catchy taglines "anti-ageing, fortifying, hydrating etc" and underdelivering.
We owe them nothing, they are not that transparent with the actual ingredients in some of their products and it's cheap because of the quality of ingredients they use. I bought a couple of things and won't be again.
@@hannahp2240 you* owe them nothing. everyone’s skin is different, cerave didnt work great for me, but its still a good brand. TO’s red mask cleared my acne scars when nothing else worked. you took the chance it wouldn’t work on your skin or you didn’t use it for long enough, but that’s your bad experience, most people have better results :)
@@steph2190 you still don't owe the brand anything. Glad some things worked for you. Maybe something with even better quality ingredients would be even better. I use natural already and tried the Ordinary as it claimed to be anothet simple solution and i found the quality lacking. If you try other brands doing the same thing then I'm sure youd notice the difference too.
@@hannahp2240 then feel free to buy what you like haha. it’s a cheaper version, that’s the whole point of having a currency, you pay more for things that are more expensive. whatever works best for you is great, but i do owe them something because that’s my personal opinion and i appreciate what their product did for me. do nice things=get nice things back. plus owe isn’t even a real thing, idk why this is such a big deal lol
@@jackiejonesjefferson He says it in his description! Hyram is a skin care “specialist” and has checked in with many dermatologists and estheticians to see if he is able to call himself one! He also doesn’t want to call himself an expert because he considers himself below that an expert/guru. regardless, he is definitely a life saver.
He doesn’t annoy me... he isn’t extra, he seems really genuine to me. And I love that. So many UA-camrs just... try way too hard and you can tell. I like you H. You down
Hyram these are some suggestions from Europe: The truth about balea The truth about isana The truth about sebamed The truth about alterra Please like this so he can see it and help people from Europe
@@katia5915 these brands are very used in Germany and they are pretty "cheap" and you can get them at any drugstore unlike the products he suggests because I always have to order them online I heard alot of european countries have these brands idk but i really hope he does some videos about them
I know I'm late to the party but anywayyyy... Before buying The Ordinary, I emailed customer service, explaining my skin issues and they sent me a very detailed custom regimen with explanations about each products, the benefits of the ingredients, how to apply, how often, in what order and what NOT to pair it with. I never would have played with their products without asking experts.
I swear by the Ordinary's rose hip seed oil. I've been using it for a year and a half, and my acne scars have almost totally disappeared. My dry skin loves it!!
right! I love Hyram, but I don’t think he understands dry skin since his is oily. I love using rose hip oil as a last step after my moisturizer. The squalene cleanser is also fine to use as a morning face wash that’s not stripping. I just don’t like that it’s hard to work into more of an oil.
I swear by it as well. I've been using it for hmm I want to say 7-8 months now and just wow. So big of a difference. I have stopped using makeup most days because my skin looks so nice after my acne scars disappeared

I will always suggest The Ordinary Because their products really cleared my acne and diminished my scars so much but I have since stopped using a lot of them I only used about 2 products from them now and incorporated others from different brands and am loving seeing my skin get better and better 😭😊
@@kirsteng3535 niacinamide is a good product from them. It also helps with pigmentation, also don’t forget to use sunscreen, especially if you’re going to use this product.
@@aqsaqamar1628 yes! 1) your skin can get damaged if ur not using sunscreen with it 2) Honestly we should all be using sunscreen everyday no matter which product your using at the moment! (And yes even in the winter)
I fall into the "nothing else works" category for the ordinary rosehip oil. My skin is super sensitive so minimal ingredients is a huge plus, & this product literally saved my skin from dryness/flaking
@@ashleym5696 I’m praying for your skin. Essential oils are so bad for your skin and you likely don’t have sensitive skin if you can add fragrant things and not break out or get irritation/ redness
Hyram: My opinion on The Ordinary has shifted a bit... towards the negative. Me: Nervously looking at my The Ordinary collection that makes up 90% of my skincare routine.
When I heard everyone hates the squalane cleanser I was so confused lol, I love it but I also ONLY use it as a makeup remover for a double cleanse routine, which the directions say is fair to do. This cleanser would not get deep enough if I was using it alone, but as a makeup remover, it helps my skin stay hydrated and fresh after a long day of a full face.
I have dry/sensitive skin and it's the only cleanser that doesn't strip my face or make it break out. I use it as my everyday cleanser on bare skin.. Haven't really used makeup this year because of corona, haha :(
I absolutely love Natural Moisturizing Factors. It’s an incredibly underrated product from the Ordinary. My skin is dry, prone to sebhorroic dermatitis and extremely sensitive and after trying literally *anything* I stumbled into NFM and my life changed forever. It’s literally the gentlest, yet most effective moisturizer I ever tried. It’s thick though, so def not for oily skin. I’ve been using it for over a year, every day and it’s still working flawlessly. Also the 150ml tube is about 9€ and lasts for 4 months. I really can’t ask for anything more 💖
hyram idk if you knew but there’s a customizable hair care company called Function of Beauty and they recently came out with a customizable skin care... so uh i think you know what to do
I appreciate and respect how truly honest he always is on these videos. A lot of people (celebrities to youtubers) say whatever the companies want them to say just because they give them money or they care about their positions. I don’t blame them since its understandable thinking about their position in society, but i really love Hyram’s honesty, his knowledge-spreading-ability and, of course, his charm !
Yes I agree. Cause now I want to use retinol but rather use at night but before which product and and how often. Also how often to use the peel solution mask?
I will always stand the ordinary cause it pretty much cleared my skin. I think it’s a great brand if you know what’s good and bad for your skin and already know a bit about skincare
Ya agreed. The B oil is my fall/winter skin saviour, it's literally the only thing that keeps my skin from turning into a straight up crocodile situation. Most of their oils work really well for me, actually. I use the chia seed oil to remove makeup in the fall/winter as well, it keeps my skin so soft.
Their Niacinamide serum saved my skin. Now I just don't know what to do with this almost full $200 prescription retinoid I have because its too strong and I don't really need it anymore. I want to use it, but it makes my skin so dry and flakey. I'll never stop using certain The Ordinary products though
Hyram: Everyone knows The Ordinary is super cheap me who comes from Malaysia : 👁👄👁 (edit) Wow, can't believe many people can relate to me 😂😭😭😭😭 I assume all of you are from Asia? the same as me? or not- anyway if we convert the price to MYR (Malaysia money), it cost around 43 MYR - 70 MYR. not to mention for CeraVe, it cost around 40 MYR - 200+ MYR 😭 I know this because I'm a reseller for these and it's rather pricey... my boss had to buy the ones at the UK or Korean website for the authentic and cheaper ones.
I know rightttt! I kinda shifted to another local brand for Niacinamide and Panthenol. But nevertheless, I still use their glycolic acid toner. I just like how wide of a range of products they provide.
The squalane cleanser is marketed as a cleanser and makeup remover, and it is definitely designed more to remove makeup. I do a double cleanse with the squalane first then a CeraVe cleanser and it’s the best makeup remover routine I’ve ever had.
I was wondering if I could follow up with the cerave cleanser. I love the squalene for my makeup removal, nothing does that good of a job! Do you have dry skin? Do you have problems w it stripping your skin?
Tysm when he said it’s meant for mainly dry skin I freaked out cause I just got it and it’s AMAZING at removing makeup but I did realize it didn’t really cleanse my skin as much as I would like so thank you for the recommendation.
Same!! I only use it to remove make up and it’s amazing. It doesn’t irritate my skin and literally gets all of it off which I love! I then go in with my SA renewal cleanser from CeraVe.
I need help...I’m 14 and I’m new to skincare. I have normal skin and breakouts happen once a month but my skin texture is kinda rough I have no idea like should I use serums or chemical exfoliaters on my skin? plus my under eyes are dark and i have wrinkles 😭 edit: English is my second language sorry of it is bad
@@bankio1883 Your English is amazing, don't worry. Your skin texture might be rough because your skin lacks moisture - before you try any serums or chemical exfoliators I would strongly recommend finding a cleanser, moisturizer, and an SPF (sunscreen) that work for you and start following a skincare routine with just those products for a few months. For some people, these are all the things they will ever need, but for others, that's when serums or chemical exfoliators come into place but you shouldn't be worried about those just yet. When you're buying skincare products, please remember that expensive doesn't always mean that it's good. If you have more questions, please come visit us at Reddit SkincareAddiction
@@bankio1883 if you eat junk it will show on your skin, check your diet as well and dont worry you dont need anything over the top when it comes to your skincare. Sleep well eat well and be consistent in your skincare routine. Btw I to have lines under my eyes, it's your eyeshape, not wrinkles.
Hyram would you please make a video on these brands we would love to watch : " The truth about estee Lauder " " The truth about Laniage " " The truth about Dear klairs " " The truth about innisfree " " The truth about the face shop " " The truth about bioderma" " The truth about belief " " The truth about farsali" Because these are some of the brands that are available world wide and in india we don't get brands like ordinary , cerave , krave beauty ...... And many moree bascially most of brand you recommend and we would love to know your opinions / product recommendations from these brands - Love from india 🇮🇳
hey, just wanted to let you know that India actually has a brand which is a great dupe for the ordinary called "the minimalist". They are a very recent brand but offer pretty good, ingredient-based formulations like the ordinary at an affordable price!
Deciem has other brands that have well rounded and ground breaking formulations. They put out the ordinary to give the high end brands the middle finger for having cheap active ingredients at exorbitant price points.
Hi Hyram, I bought the Ordinary Niacinamide serum, and it really helped reduce my acne. Most acne treatments i use (for some reason) make my skin look darker and dull, but this product has reduced my acne AND lightened my skin (with a non-oily glow)! I use two drops and pat it into my face. My skincare morning/night routine: Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (good for basic cleansing), Niacinamide the Ordinary serum, and the CeraVe moisturizing lotion for dry to normal skin (sunscreen in the mornings). Thank you for everything you taught me~
I use some different products but they're the exact same steps 😅 I use the CeraVe foaming facial cleanser, Ordinary niacinamide serum, and the Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer (and the Neutrogena moisturizer with spf when I plan on going out) I do use Retina-A occasionally though.
HI! I don't know if you wear makeup but a big thing that helped me was switching to mineral foundation with a short ingredient list. I use Lily Lolo and always like to spread the word, because it really did help me x x
When you find the products, can you give examples of the “correct” amount? Is that a squeeze full aka 1 syringe or half a squeeze or squeeze plus a lil squeeze? Thanks from the visual learners.
usually pea size so fingertip for serums and moisturizers; not too much cleanser just that everything is coated; spf just a lot lot theres no correct amount u could do one layer then one layer again , oh and important; moisturize on damp skin so theres no water evaporation loss (moisturizer with humectans like hyaluronic acid glycerin and emollients like capric glycerides) humectans seek in lots of water/moisture in the skin and the emollients cover the skin to trap in the moisture because of the damp skin u will have to use very less product than u would have to on dry skin !! on damp skin the products will penetrate deeper, so be careful with actives if u have sensitive skin so with serum with an active in it i usually use it after i moisturised and my skin become dry, or after i cleansed and dried my skin (this also with an exfoliant) pls correct me if im wrong im a skincare guru lol look at dr dray her youtube
I do whatever my face can absorb. I'll start with one drop on each cheek and my forehead and massage it in, then add more if it doesn't reach all areas. I do more for serums so like 6 drops total probably of the buffet serum and 4 for niaciminide. For the rose hip oil I do only 3 drops or its way to oily on my face and doesn't absorb. I'll do this one on my fingers and pat it into my face.
it depends on what products you're referring to? do you have any specific ones in mind? for the serums (niacinamide and hyaluronic acid) i only use two drops, for creams (like the azelaic acid) i just use a pea sized drop, for the aha/bha face mask (you have to be very careful about ones like these) you only need to put on a thin layer so one full "syringe" or "squeeze" of the dropper thing is sufficient i believe. im not sure it that helps but its what i do and i have been fine
@@laylasmulders8082 there is definetly a recommended amount of sunscreen to use. Its about 1/2 teaspoon for face and neck. You can use more but you should never use less.
An oil can not possibly hydrate skin and actually is likely to severely dehydrate it (but it can moisturise skin) so make sure to still use a hydrating cream. 👍
@@morgianasartre6709 hmmm an oil is an occlusive because it is non polar so it repels water therefore locking it in the skin so technically hydrating it but yes we need humectants too to draw water ♥️
@@morgianasartre6709 i think that some products have to be paired with the correct product, it has to be a complete routine, I am sure this person uses other things with it, it’s so interesting how some products work for some and don’t for others even with the same skin types
@@ravenbongcawil8395 That is why I said it can moisturize but not hydrate, oil can only retain water in the skin not add it so moisturizingbut not hydrating.
I feel like when products start getting popular they don’t put the same effort into the products when they first started it’s more rushed and careless jus to push it to the shelves that’s why newer products don’t work as well and older products don’t work the same anymore I have the same issue with hair products 😑🤦🏽♀️
Just a warning to anyone thinking about trying the caffeine serum. When I used it I had a lot of luck with getting rid of under eye darkness, however after about a week my eye started to twitch and I couldn’t figure out why. It turns out that this serum can make you have an eye twitch and I read reviews that said this happened to them too. So I do thinks it’s a good product but I would just be careful about that
I had the exact same reaction! It also dried out my under eyes and increased the texture too (despite how much moisturizer I would use to hydrate my skin.) Can’t seem to find a happy medium 🙃
thank you for the review, i was about to buy my mom the caffeine serum because she keeps "complaining" about her under eye. i may try to find another alternative first.
I use it for about 3 months now. First I put it on every night, but it really irritates my eye while trying to sleep. So now I put it on every morning and it works just fine, like my dark circles are almost gone (they were super bad). But if anyone wants to buy it please be careful. Don’t put to much on, bc it is very strong and irritating for your eye. (I would recommend it tho)
Hyram,I LOVE YOU. You know how hard I’ve been struggling with my acne and acne scars on my face?It has affected my self-confidence so bad but since I found you,everything has changed. My skin is not perfect yet but since I found the solution for healthy skin my mental health and confidence have improved and I don’t have such worries like before. Thank you for everything!!

Hyram: my view changed to negative on the ordinary Me who bought the ordinary products because many people including hyram recommended it: say sike right now
@@quin6324 it's not all bad, just some products which are questionable like the ascorbic acid powder and niacinamide powder. but anything else might be good or irritate your skin depends on your skin type and concern.
Bro you almost gave me a heart attack with that thumb nail “maybe not” I just bought a whole bunch of the ordinary you told me you liked. And I was like wth is happening 🤣🤣💀
Personally, for me, i absolutely adore Rosehip seed oil. I’ve gone through about 4 bottles so far and I want to talk about what I know about it (from a bit of research I did on oils affecting skin) Rosehip seed oil is high in linoleic acid, it also contains a small amount of oleic acid (and according to google has a bit of tretinoin which is a retinoid) linoleic acid is great for oily, acne prone and sensitive skin or skin with eczema while oleic is great for dehydrated (oily but feels dry) dry and combination skin. They work on the oils in your skin itself (which I won’t get into but a quick google search can help you out) so depending on if you have dry skin or if you have oily skin linoleic and oleic acid helps your skin in different ways ^-^ They’re present in oils (i would recommend liah yoo’s video on them myself but google would work just as well) so even if you have super greasy and super oily skin, an oil can do wonders if you pick it correctly. Rosehip seed oil has high levels of linoleic acid, along with its own benefits of retinol and anti oxidants and all that good stuff- basically, you can mix it with your moisturiser or put it on after moisturiser because it has a really good hydrating effect. It helps to repair your skin and helps with your ✨oiliness✨, your acne scars, eczema, and it has anti inflammatory properties :) On to concentration!~ you yourself have linoleic acid in your body and it’s main effect is on the oils coming out of your pores, people with oily skin and a lot of acne have a lower amount of linoleic acid in their skin which makes the oil (coming out of their pores- sorry i forgot its name lmao) thick and sludgy which blocks pores and makes acne :) more linoleic acid = fixes that issue = helps with acne oleic acid is a thicker and richer acid, ✨however✨ while it is great for dry skin you can’t really use 100% of it. Concentration-wise, you should have both acids in your oil / skincare routine to help it balance out (unless 100% only works for you like he said ^-^) use a balance of both, just have MORE linoleic than oleic if you have acne ridden faces and if you have dry skin use a balance of both but more toward the oleic side ~ also, they may be great moisturisers but put them on either before moisturiser or after moisturiser (or you can mix it with moisturiser too!) No hate to hyram, i want to give out information on the topic since I really love oils 🥰
I refuse to wear it as I've tried so many and I break out in whiteheads on all of them. I hate that I cant wear them, makes me worry about wrinkles lol
@@dior-fh7gf right now i'm using a korean sunscreen called village 11 hydra sun fluid (disclaimer: it does contain a small amount of fragrance, but the company also sells a fragrance free formula that i'll be trying next). i've been using it for almost 2 weeks, and i haven't had any breakouts from it. however, i've never broken out from sunscreen before, so i'm not sure if my testimony means much. i can say that the formula is lightweight and doesn't leave the skin feeling residue-ey, so it seems to be acne-friendly. i hope this helps!
I noticed that Ulta's website gives a big Ingredient Contradiction warning for The Ordinary products and what to not use them directly with! Super helpful
I’m IN LOVE with the results rosehips oil gives!!! I’ve been using the one by the ordinary for like 4 months. I have fungal acne, and this is the only hydration I give to my forehead bc it won’t trigger it and it’s so hard to find a moisturizer that doesn’t trigger it. I saw a dramatic change in my skin, and it really evened out my complexion. I so highly recommend it!
@@quinndobrish4790 hey! I use it every single night, all over the face. You only use it at night bc it does leave the skin very very shiny (which is a good thing at night) I even tap a drop on my under eyes because it has anti aging properties as well!
The Ordinary products : They are not "cheap", they are "inexpensive". I think there is a difference. Just saying 😉 Love your input and love your channel, continue to educate us on products good and not so good ingredients and their effects on our skin 🥰
I’ve actually moved away from The Ordinary since I started using their products a year ago, because the brands products helped me figure out what to look for in other, more well-rounded ones. I think they can be good for people trying to isolate the ingredients that work best for their skin or to make sure that it doesn’t create irritation or a reaction. Like, when I started getting good results from the niacinamide 10%, I looked for other serums that built around that ingredient, but included a lot of other complimentary ingredients. While I know The Ordinary can be confusing, I do actually think it’s a good gateway into knowing what exactly works for you, because their formulations are so simple.
Did anyone else start questioning their skin care and just stumbled upon Hyram and realized you were doing everything wrong so thank you so so so much Hyram
i just ordered my 4th tube of the ordinary moisturizer! My PM routine is 1. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser (I am waiting for the Inkey List Oat Cleanser to be back in stock) 2. Innisfree Foam cleanser 3. The Ordinary Glycolic acid toner (on alternate days) 4. Retin-A (2 times a week, not with glycolic acid) 5. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 6. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 7. The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors I also use The Ordinary Peeling Solution once a week and only apply the Moisturiser after that My AM routine is (I don't wash my face in the morning, only rinse with warm water) 1. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 2. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 3. The Ordinary 10% Azelaic Acid Suspension 4. The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors 5. SUNSCREEN!

EDIT 2: Thank you for 100 likes! I wasn't expecting so many comments on this either! Thanks! :)
hi!! how has their azelaic acid been working for you? i’ve been planning on incorporating AA into my routine but im not sure which brand to get it from 🤧
@@collenagustin3011 I used to use a brand from India and thought that was much better. My dermatologist had told me to use Aziderm 10% AA (its not in US). The Ordinary AA works fine and gets absorbed quickly into the skin. I haven't had issues with it but I find the Aziderm better.
I honestly wouldn't use azelaic acid and niacinamide at the same time. It may be too much for your skin even if you haven't been breaking out. And if you start breaking out, you wouldn't know which product it is because you use them so consistently, day and night.
I watched your initial video on the Ordinary and decided to try it out. I made sure to follow the steps properly and it really turned around my skin for the better! I would say the only acne I get is hormonal on my chin, but everywhere else is a non issue, and i'm no longer super oily. Sunscreen and proper moisturizing also made a huge difference so I give credit to you for introducing this and also educating us about it, thank you!
@@user-zd7vc6pv8x I got the Hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide. Recently throwing in the buffet. So i started to double cleanse. After that I put the Hyaluronic, Niacinamide, then a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. That alone cleared up acne most of my other acne and stopped oil. Overall face looked better from that. I still got some chin acne but that was definitely hormonal, especially around my period. For that I went to the doctor.
I'd love to see a comparison between the ordinary and some of their sister brands like NIOD and Hylamide. Also, I love the squalane cleanser! Definitely for dry and/or sensitive skin, but it was a saviour for my skin this winter. I had upped my retinol usage and was not prepared for how dry my skin would get when winter started, so having a cleanser that wouldn't strip my skin was a godsend. Personally, you need to take your time with it: get it melted, massage into the skin for a good 3-5mins, then emulsify it thoroughly before rinsing off.
I've used Hylamide before - I love the eye serum but I felt that the serum I tried was very similar to TO's Buffet serum and Buffet is loads more inexpensive. I second having an indepth look at NIOD and Hylamide to look at it from an ingredients comparison perspective
@@hannathehumblebard101 I've used Hylamide's hyaluronic acid serum and it's really nice, much lighter and a little thinner than the ordinary HA+B5, but that's the only experience I have with the brand. NIOD looks great but it's pricey.
@@HardlyNormal12 haven't tried that yet - but I will next time I need to replace mine. I've used the SubQ eyes and SubQ skin before. They're definitely nice but it felt like the SubQ skin did the same as Buffet for me, but at a lesser price point.
The caffeine solution is worked for me. I really love how it reduce my dark eye circle and puffiness. I tried to stop using for a week and that happen again so im sure the caffeine solution helps me a lot for my problems 🙂
I love this product!! I seen a Cassandra Bankson video that suggests that you can use a bit of it with the Moisturizing Factors + HA so I started doing that and it has made my skin look waaay better. My skin is a bit firmer, more smooth and less puffy when I wake up. Idk if it’ll work for everyone but it worked for me
Niod (by Deciem) actually focuses on products that are more well-rounded while The Ordinary was just supposed to be a brand like you said, for those who are experienced with skincare but would like to add in solutions to their routine, without paying a huge price for simple ingredients. Deciem actually didn't expect the ordinary to blow up because they had created 10 brands other brands and none of them made it big. Deciem likes to make these helpful ingredients easily accessible to a wide audience where everyone can afford it as well, but I think what would help is if they put instructions on the box or a little paper inside explaining what the product does, how and when to use it, and how much to use. If they don't already. Because even friends have asked me how to use the products. Niod focuses more on the ever changing technology of the skincare industry and formulates with that as the focus. Very interesting. 🤔
I had a sample size Drunk Elephant Protini moisturizer and i LOVED it, probably because of the peptides. However the full size is 70 DOLLARS. i was like helllll no. The most amazing tip I found for recreating that moisturizer was a comment on a different skincare video and can’t remember who said it but: combine the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and the Ordinary Buffet and voila! You made a cheap Protini! it works exactly the same for me and it’s kept my skin super clear and hydrated and soooo glowy!
I had been gifted the drunk elephant moisturiser in the past and used it all and we don’t have the brand in the UK. I am now shook that I didn’t know the price
I have psoriasis and I have extremely dry patches on my face, especially around mouth and back towards my ears. I use both the squalene cleanser and the rosehip oil because it's the only few products that don't turn my skin bright red from reactions. Like you said, may not be for everyone but if you have extremely dry skin its worth a try btw- I can't believe I'm this early 😳😳
@@heidiheidi6775 i also use the CereVe Hydrating Cleanser along with Niacinamide serum. I've lately switched to the Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer and I love it! To be honest its never been 100%, but for ME these have worked the best lately. I've also switched to an anti-inflammatory diet and that has helped with my health in general!
Ok honestly I LOVE that the ordinary has no sense of a “well rounded formulation” because I have extremely sensitive skin. I have been trying since childhood to figure out what my skin is sensitive to, but honestly, all I can figure out is what my skin is non reactive to, and it’s MUCH easier to do that with simple formulations. Does that mean my entire routine combined costs exactly as much as what I would’ve spent on a brand name, comprehensive product? Yes. Does it also mean I can specifically isolate what my skin is reacting to and change it day-by-day? Also yes. I would much rather have an abysmally long routine with 10 individual steps, than spend $50 each on 10 different “fancy” moisturizers because they all irritated my skin.
I've been struggling with severe acne since I was 10. Fast forward through several doctor and dermatologist visits, prescriptions both oral and topical, and over the counter treatments I never quite found anything that stopped the severe acne. I was 'that kid' in school. My last option was accutane, but I refused after watching my brother go through the rollercoaster ride of accutane. Now 22, I finally found something that works which was the oridinary. I was hesitant, feeling entirely certain that this wouldnt work either. I started using the products (ones that targeted the specific problems I was having). I read up on how to use them, when to use them, what I could and couldnt layer them with etc. Almost my entire routine is the ordinary. I used it for the 6 week period that they say will show whether or not the products work... and the results were less than amazing. I continued it anyway. I've now been using the ordinary for roughly 6 months and I've never seen my skin so happy. I am coated in scars, but my skin isnt actively breaking out like it had for the past 12 years. I still get some bad ones, but for the most part I'm just working on healing my scars. I am more than satisfied:)
I’ve tried millions of eye creams and the caffeine is the ONLY thing that has ever completely removed my puffy, dark circles. In one day. I cannot say enough amazing things about it
I totally agree! Never remove sunscreen from your skin care routine. All dermatologists recommend that. I’m also using Niacinamide and Buffet which i added to my existing skin care that has worked for me for years and the results are just so good! I love The Ordinary! ❤️
I really wish hyram would make a video of “2-4 minute video of “why skin care is important” FOR MY HISPANIC PARENTS because they don’t think skin care is needed or good.
HYRAM: salicylic acid is used at around a 14% concentration to literally PEEL WARTS OFF. It is so intensely exfoliating that it reaches under the wart and the entire layer of skin comes off. So you are right, salicylic acid will LITERALLY melt your skin off! I've done it.
@@miaeit9564 lol--yes, thank you for asking. I am just an unfortunate person who gets warts on my feet and hands, and one of the ways a doctor (or yourself at home) can remove them is with strong salicylic acid. But thank you for your concern!!! 😁
I loved the ordinary, I placed my first order exactly a year ago, however... it’s been so sold out.... I haven’t been able to repurchase. I also have pretty sensitive skin so I was pretty sparing with their products so they lasted me a long time. I’m shocked to learn these teenagers are using this as their full routine. I was using their toner (before I ran out), the red exfoliator (before it ran out), and the vitamin c serum and that’s all I needed
All the products I was interested in were in stock on the Deciem site (I live in the Netherlands and they shipped it from the UK), maybe you could try that?
I honestly love the squalane cleanser! I have dry acne prone skin that usually reacts to oils with “fungal acne”. But I guess as squalane isn’t technically an oil it doesn’t react to it. Also I can’t use ANY water based cleansers. I have tried so many (even the ones that were specifically made for sensitive skin) but for some reason any water based cleanser will destroy my skin barrier. So now I just double cleanse with the squalane cleanser. I wear quite a lot of makeup and it does remove it perfectly. The only thing that’s annoying about the cleanser is that you have to take your time with massaging it in.
I love the CeraVe cleansers! I do agree that it's not super cleansing but I think it's great alone if you don't wear makeup! If you do use makeup, you definitely need to take your makeup off completely before cleansing with them. I am trying so hard to get my skin healthy and clear and your videos have been soooo helpful in my journey! TYSM
*Me who has 3 The Ordinary Products-The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% , The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil , The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + Ha 2%:* oh no
Hyram, I’ve been using CeraVe cleanser for over 3 months along with the CeraVe daily moisturizer. The Ordinary Hylarounic Acid in the AM and Niacinomide & Zinc in the PM. I still experience breakouts.... can you please adjust my skin care for me or help me out?!Also, anyone in the comments who would love to give me advice I’m open to elaborate! ❤️
I love that cleanser!! I use it as a first step in my double cleanse. I recently switched back to the inkey list oat balm cus I finished the squalene one, but I realised I actually like the feel of the ordinary more!
He recommended in a video a while ago because of the ingredient list! I went through 2 jars to give it a fair shot and it was terrible. It’s not fragranced but smells like old plastic wood (if that even makes sense lol). I have normal skin and somehow it made my skin feel dry, dehydrated and dull. Definitely would NOT repurchase.
To the gorgeous person reading this: If nobody has told you this today then I'll say it... Your beautiful, strong, talented, smart, and absolutely amazing!! I know that things may be tough right now but please keep pushing through and don't give up just yet🥺 I hope that you and your family are safe during these scary times! I hope that you get clear skin and get better grades in school, your loved so hold those around you very closely because you never know when it will be their time to leave😞 Don't judge yourself and think your worthless because trust me... Your value cannot be compared so please don't look at yourself harshly!! You deserve so much more and I hope you realize how important and significant you are in others lives😊 I hope I don't sound like I'm fishing for subscribers but I really just want to share my knowledge in beauty and help my viewers feel more confident in their own body!! So if you could sub to my channel and help me reach my dreams of becoming an inspiring video creator I'd be super duper thankful :D I am not a bot and I have feelings so please treat me like a person.. Some people can be really rude and mean sometimes so don't let them push you around and stick up for yourself because you know your worth💪 Have a lovely day with prosperity and care! I hope that you find what truly makes you happy♡♡♡♡
@@michellelanderos2649 hmm maybe it’s the application? for example i take the dropper and drop about 1-2 drops under each eye contour then gently tap at the part right inbetween the puffy and not puffy part, hope that helps 🥰
You make me laugh so so so hard! For someone on the ADHD squad, it's so nice to finally enjoy learning! Thank you for introducing me to Skincare, you have created such a beautiful environment to 1. Finally have a way of self love and self care I didn't even know existed. 2. not feel embarrassed about learning and education! Thank you Hyram ❤
Simple, have a gentle routine and add a product or two that have something to do with your concerns For example, I don't have any acne I just want to take care of my skin (I'm 20 yo) and I want to give it hydration and reduce oileness I use the oil cleanser from iunik, la roche posay cleanser (very gentle) and either the cerave lotion or the iunik moisturizing gel on hot days because my skin is already oily I don't want to use any heavy creams (btw both moisturizers are very gentle especially the korean one) and I use a korean sunscreen because they are very light weight and don't have any white cast whatsoever So due to my concerns, I can add some "supplements" that are high concentrated from the ordinary for example I use the niacinimaide serum because it reduces my hyper pigmentations (I used to have acne when I was younger) and it reduces oileness I used to use their lactic acid as an exfoliation (2x a week) which was great Now I've updated to the Paula's Choice bha 2% (which I also use 2x a week) and we'll see how the results are :D I'm planning on using either the buffet or the retinol soon but I don't know yet haha So I'm not saying that you should have the exact same routine, absolutely not But you should have an already existing gentle routine that suits your skin perfectly (a gentle cleanser, a good moisturizer that suits your skin type and a good sunscreen) and then you can *add* a strong serum that also suits your skin concerns.. You could for example have textured skin, acne, hyper pigmentations, mature skin or alot of other concerns and you should find the right product and add it to a gentle routine Not create a routine off of 10 very strong serums you know I don't know if you have tiktok but there are alot of teenagers that are using the aha bha exfoliant from the ordinary (which they should use once a week for a maximum of 10min) everyday or leave it for an hour or so and then they would be like "oh my skin is burnt" Well yes because this is a strong exfoliant of course our skin cannot handle it for more than 10min :/ Or I've seen some videos from people who had this exfoliant on and they used a dermaroller on it :o I got so scaareeed omg I'm pretty sure their skin is destroyed So I'm sorry if this was too long but I hope that you know what I mean :D Peace
@@rachelsrandoms1670 yes and he only says he recommends them, he hasnt ever shown us how to use or dilute the solutions into existing other treatments/skincare products:)
@@ragh9014 yes i have the peeling solution from the ordinary and only use once a week and also the retinol once a week ive made sure im very sparse with it because i have sensitive skin anyway i cant imagine leaving it on for a whole hour!!b

@@hibaliaquat6509 well he said in the vidoe the same thing .That it works for so many people but also for so many it doesn't
the ordinary is not perfect, but we owe them so much. when i tried to get into skin care i had the choice between the drugstore and expensive brands youtubers recommended like kiehls or fresh. the ordinary bridged that price gap and for a lot of us shifted the focus from packaging and claims to ingredients and concentrations. brands like the inkey list would probably not be here if it wasnt for the ordinary and their success.
They have great customer service and ethics, i will probably always have 2 or 3 ordinary products in my routine and will always support and recommend them ❤️
I agree, we do owe TO. Not only is it creating demand for ingredient based, less gimmicky skincare but their competitors have to compete with their prices too. I love seeing products boast about their ingredients rather than overpromising with catchy taglines "anti-ageing, fortifying, hydrating etc" and underdelivering.
We owe them nothing, they are not that transparent with the actual ingredients in some of their products and it's cheap because of the quality of ingredients they use. I bought a couple of things and won't be again.
@@hannahp2240 you* owe them nothing. everyone’s skin is different, cerave didnt work great for me, but its still a good brand. TO’s red mask cleared my acne scars when nothing else worked. you took the chance it wouldn’t work on your skin or you didn’t use it for long enough, but that’s your bad experience, most people have better results :)
@@steph2190 you still don't owe the brand anything. Glad some things worked for you. Maybe something with even better quality ingredients would be even better. I use natural already and tried the Ordinary as it claimed to be anothet simple solution and i found the quality lacking. If you try other brands doing the same thing then I'm sure youd notice the difference too.
@@hannahp2240 then feel free to buy what you like haha. it’s a cheaper version, that’s the whole point of having a currency, you pay more for things that are more expensive. whatever works best for you is great, but i do owe them something because that’s my personal opinion and i appreciate what their product did for me. do nice things=get nice things back. plus owe isn’t even a real thing, idk why this is such a big deal lol
me seeing “the ordinary” and “‘maybe not” in the same sentence: 👁👄👁

I know I'm late to the party but anywayyyy... Before buying The Ordinary, I emailed customer service, explaining my skin issues and they sent me a very detailed custom regimen with explanations about each products, the benefits of the ingredients, how to apply, how often, in what order and what NOT to pair it with. I never would have played with their products without asking experts.
Wow thank you for this info. Did the customer service email can easily be found online?
@@jenie9977 I think so, yes! I think there's a "contact us" form which you can fill out.
@@omarabrody5469 thanks
My city has a storefront so I can basically do that in person
Wow that’s so cool! Thanks for telling us that!
I’ll never get tired of hearing how brutally honest Hyram is. Hyram is not for sale and I love it.
I swear by the Ordinary's rose hip seed oil. I've been using it for a year and a half, and my acne scars have almost totally disappeared. My dry skin loves it!!
right! I love Hyram, but I don’t think he understands dry skin since his is oily. I love using rose hip oil as a last step after my moisturizer. The squalene cleanser is also fine to use as a morning face wash that’s not stripping. I just don’t like that it’s hard to work into more of an oil.
Truee, this oil calmed my skin after Niacinamide (cause it is drying out my skin)
I swear by it as well. I've been using it for hmm I want to say 7-8 months now and just wow. So big of a difference. I have stopped using makeup most days because my skin looks so nice after my acne scars disappeared
I have combination skin and I also adore the rose hip oil! Does wonders on my dry patches and actually helps reduce my oil production too!!
Do you guys use it for red acne scars or pitted scars?

Because their products really cleared my acne and diminished my scars so much but I have since stopped using a lot of them I only used about 2 products from them now and incorporated others from different brands and am loving seeing my skin get better and better 😭😊
Hi, what products did you use from the ordinary to clear your acne? 🤗
@@kirsteng3535 niacinamide is a good product from them. It also helps with pigmentation, also don’t forget to use sunscreen, especially if you’re going to use this product.
@@aqsaqamar1628 well there’s not really a point to using any product if you don’t wear sunscreen as 90% of skin damage comes from the sun
@@aqsaqamar1628 yes!
1) your skin can get damaged if ur not using sunscreen with it
2) Honestly we should all be using sunscreen everyday no matter which product your using at the moment! (And yes even in the winter)
Same! This is the best my skin has ever been! FOREVER LOYAL TO THE ORDINARY’s ALPHA ARBUTIN AND AZALEIC ACID SOOOOO GOOD!
I fall into the "nothing else works" category for the ordinary rosehip oil. My skin is super sensitive so minimal ingredients is a huge plus, & this product literally saved my skin from dryness/flaking
Same! I add 10 drops Lavender and 5 drops frankincense to mine and it works wonders
@@ashleym5696 I’m praying for your skin. Essential oils are so bad for your skin and you likely don’t have sensitive skin if you can add fragrant things and not break out or get irritation/ redness
I love this oil also. I woke up with super soft skin
Hyram: My opinion on The Ordinary has shifted a bit... towards the negative.
Me: Nervously looking at my The Ordinary collection that makes up 90% of my skincare routine.

Alina P : exactly!
When I heard everyone hates the squalane cleanser I was so confused lol, I love it but I also ONLY use it as a makeup remover for a double cleanse routine, which the directions say is fair to do. This cleanser would not get deep enough if I was using it alone, but as a makeup remover, it helps my skin stay hydrated and fresh after a long day of a full face.
It's my favorite oil cleanser too! I also use it for double cleansing, it removes my makeup like nothing else.
I like it too! it takes my makeup off so well and after it I just go with a gentle gel cleanser, it works like a charm
It works so gooooooooood as a makeup remover. I wanted to hate it so bad..... but it actually does the job pretty well and it’s very affordable
I have dry/sensitive skin and it's the only cleanser that doesn't strip my face or make it break out. I use it as my everyday cleanser on bare skin.. Haven't really used makeup this year because of corona, haha :(
Agree 100%
I absolutely love Natural Moisturizing Factors. It’s an incredibly underrated product from the Ordinary. My skin is dry, prone to sebhorroic dermatitis and extremely sensitive and after trying literally *anything* I stumbled into NFM and my life changed forever. It’s literally the gentlest, yet most effective moisturizer I ever tried. It’s thick though, so def not for oily skin. I’ve been using it for over a year, every day and it’s still working flawlessly. Also the 150ml tube is about 9€ and lasts for 4 months. I really can’t ask for anything more 💖
hyram idk if you knew but there’s a customizable hair care company called Function of Beauty and they recently came out with a customizable skin care... so uh i think you know what to do
Their products are way too expensive sis 🥲🥲

I appreciate and respect how truly honest he always is on these videos. A lot of people (celebrities to youtubers) say whatever the companies want them to say just because they give them money or they care about their positions. I don’t blame them since its understandable thinking about their position in society, but i really love Hyram’s honesty, his knowledge-spreading-ability and, of course, his charm !
We need a part 3: what order to use all of these
Yes I agree. Cause now I want to use retinol but rather use at night but before which product and and how often. Also how often to use the peel solution mask?
he has one- i think it’s called layering actives or sumn
@@Flygyrl09 it should be in his layering actives video and he talks about the peel in the truth about the ordinary video aka part 1
This is basic skincare knowledge, if you don't know what order to use your skincare, you should learn the basics before buying a bunch of products
Cassandra bankson has one!
I will always stand the ordinary cause it pretty much cleared my skin. I think it’s a great brand if you know what’s good and bad for your skin and already know a bit about skincare
Same. The glycolic acid toner and Azelic acid completely changed my skin.
Ya agreed. The B oil is my fall/winter skin saviour, it's literally the only thing that keeps my skin from turning into a straight up crocodile situation. Most of their oils work really well for me, actually. I use the chia seed oil to remove makeup in the fall/winter as well, it keeps my skin so soft.
AGREED my skin is absolutely clear due to them all that is left is fading dark spots... my current interest tranexamic acid
Their Niacinamide serum saved my skin. Now I just don't know what to do with this almost full $200 prescription retinoid I have because its too strong and I don't really need it anymore. I want to use it, but it makes my skin so dry and flakey. I'll never stop using certain The Ordinary products though
Hyram: Everyone knows The Ordinary is super cheap
me who comes from Malaysia : 👁👄👁
(edit) Wow, can't believe many people can relate to me 😂😭😭😭😭 I assume all of you are from Asia? the same as me? or not- anyway if we convert the price to MYR (Malaysia money), it cost around 43 MYR - 70 MYR. not to mention for CeraVe, it cost around 40 MYR - 200+ MYR 😭 I know this because I'm a reseller for these and it's rather pricey... my boss had to buy the ones at the UK or Korean website for the authentic and cheaper ones.
Same from the Philippines. It cost more than 1,000 pesos.😂 I still love the brand and keep using it anyway.❤❤
I know rightttt! I kinda shifted to another local brand for Niacinamide and Panthenol. But nevertheless, I still use their glycolic acid toner. I just like how wide of a range of products they provide.
I FCKIN knowwww rightttt
Indonesia can relate
@@kaisonmun3680 Spill. what brand is that 😆
The squalane cleanser is marketed as a cleanser and makeup remover, and it is definitely designed more to remove makeup. I do a double cleanse with the squalane first then a CeraVe cleanser and it’s the best makeup remover routine I’ve ever had.
I was wondering if I could follow up with the cerave cleanser. I love the squalene for my makeup removal, nothing does that good of a job! Do you have dry skin? Do you have problems w it stripping your skin?
Tysm when he said it’s meant for mainly dry skin I freaked out cause I just got it and it’s AMAZING at removing makeup but I did realize it didn’t really cleanse my skin as much as I would like so thank you for the recommendation.
Same!! I only use it to remove make up and it’s amazing. It doesn’t irritate my skin and literally gets all of it off which I love! I then go in with my SA renewal cleanser from CeraVe.

I need help...I’m 14 and I’m new to skincare. I have normal skin and breakouts happen once a month but my skin texture is kinda rough I have no idea like should I use serums or chemical exfoliaters on my skin? plus my under eyes are dark and i have wrinkles 😭 edit: English is my second language sorry of it is bad
@@bankio1883 Your English is amazing, don't worry. Your skin texture might be rough because your skin lacks moisture - before you try any serums or chemical exfoliators I would strongly recommend finding a cleanser, moisturizer, and an SPF (sunscreen) that work for you and start following a skincare routine with just those products for a few months. For some people, these are all the things they will ever need, but for others, that's when serums or chemical exfoliators come into place but you shouldn't be worried about those just yet. When you're buying skincare products, please remember that expensive doesn't always mean that it's good. If you have more questions, please come visit us at Reddit SkincareAddiction

hey, just wanted to let you know that India actually has a brand which is a great dupe for the ordinary called "the minimalist". They are a very recent brand but offer pretty good, ingredient-based formulations like the ordinary at an affordable price!
Deciem has other brands that have well rounded and ground breaking formulations. They put out the ordinary to give the high end brands the middle finger for having cheap active ingredients at exorbitant price points.
Never change! You’re so honest. That’s what’s made you grow so much on UA-cam. Not many honest UA-camrs
its not the brands fault tho ,, its ppl on tiktok using their products in "daily routine" videos that should only b used once a week
Hi Hyram, I bought the Ordinary Niacinamide serum, and it really helped reduce my acne. Most acne treatments i use (for some reason) make my skin look darker and dull, but this product has reduced my acne AND lightened my skin (with a non-oily glow)! I use two drops and pat it into my face. My skincare morning/night routine: Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (good for basic cleansing), Niacinamide the Ordinary serum, and the CeraVe moisturizing lotion for dry to normal skin (sunscreen in the mornings). Thank you for everything you taught me~
👀 We have the same skincare routine lmao 👀
same omg 👀👀
@Claire Adkins yus it is haha. Good to see an army
I use some different products but they're the exact same steps 😅 I use the CeraVe foaming facial cleanser, Ordinary niacinamide serum, and the Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer (and the Neutrogena moisturizer with spf when I plan on going out)
I do use Retina-A occasionally though.
HI! I don't know if you wear makeup but a big thing that helped me was switching to mineral foundation with a short ingredient list. I use Lily Lolo and always like to spread the word, because it really did help me x x
When you find the products, can you give examples of the “correct” amount? Is that a squeeze full aka 1 syringe or half a squeeze or squeeze plus a lil squeeze? Thanks from the visual learners.
usually pea size so fingertip for serums and moisturizers;
not too much cleanser just that everything is coated;
spf just a lot lot theres no correct amount u could do one layer then one layer again ,
oh and important; moisturize on damp skin so theres no water evaporation loss (moisturizer with humectans like hyaluronic acid glycerin and emollients like capric glycerides)
humectans seek in lots of water/moisture in the skin and the emollients cover the skin to trap in the moisture
because of the damp skin u will have to use very less product than u would have to on dry skin
!! on damp skin the products will penetrate deeper, so be careful with actives if u have sensitive skin
so with serum with an active in it i usually use it after i moisturised and my skin become dry, or after i cleansed and dried my skin (this also with an exfoliant)
pls correct me if im wrong im a skincare guru lol
look at dr dray her youtube
I do whatever my face can absorb. I'll start with one drop on each cheek and my forehead and massage it in, then add more if it doesn't reach all areas. I do more for serums so like 6 drops total probably of the buffet serum and 4 for niaciminide. For the rose hip oil I do only 3 drops or its way to oily on my face and doesn't absorb. I'll do this one on my fingers and pat it into my face.
it depends on what products you're referring to? do you have any specific ones in mind? for the serums (niacinamide and hyaluronic acid) i only use two drops, for creams (like the azelaic acid) i just use a pea sized drop, for the aha/bha face mask (you have to be very careful about ones like these) you only need to put on a thin layer so one full "syringe" or "squeeze" of the dropper thing is sufficient i believe. im not sure it that helps but its what i do and i have been fine
@@laylasmulders8082 there is definetly a recommended amount of sunscreen to use. Its about 1/2 teaspoon for face and neck. You can use more but you should never use less.

The rose hip oil has literally saved my skin, it hydrates it SO MUCH
An oil can not possibly hydrate skin and actually is likely to severely dehydrate it (but it can moisturise skin) so make sure to still use a hydrating cream. 👍
Mine too and it helped so much with redness and skin texture
@@morgianasartre6709 hmmm an oil is an occlusive because it is non polar so it repels water therefore locking it in the skin so technically hydrating it but yes we need humectants too to draw water ♥️
@@morgianasartre6709 i think that some products have to be paired with the correct product, it has to be a complete routine, I am sure this person uses other things with it, it’s so interesting how some products work for some and don’t for others even with the same skin types
@@ravenbongcawil8395 That is why I said it can moisturize but not hydrate, oil can only retain water in the skin not add it so moisturizingbut not hydrating.
I feel like when products start getting popular they don’t put the same effort into the products when they first started it’s more rushed and careless jus to push it to the shelves that’s why newer products don’t work as well and older products don’t work the same anymore I have the same issue with hair products 😑🤦🏽♀️
exactly!!! i've been noticing that with the devacurl brand
@@Derpyroblox watch curl ninjas videos on deva curl! She was die hard on the brand, and it has made people’s hair fall out
Just a warning to anyone thinking about trying the caffeine serum. When I used it I had a lot of luck with getting rid of under eye darkness, however after about a week my eye started to twitch and I couldn’t figure out why. It turns out that this serum can make you have an eye twitch and I read reviews that said this happened to them too. So I do thinks it’s a good product but I would just be careful about that
Me too!!! I thought I was going CRAZY! But I played around with it and it truly does cause eye twitching.
I had the exact same reaction! It also dried out my under eyes and increased the texture too (despite how much moisturizer I would use to hydrate my skin.) Can’t seem to find a happy medium 🙃
thank you for the review, i was about to buy my mom the caffeine serum because she keeps "complaining" about her under eye. i may try to find another alternative first.
I use it for about 3 months now. First I put it on every night, but it really irritates my eye while trying to sleep. So now I put it on every morning and it works just fine, like my dark circles are almost gone (they were super bad). But if anyone wants to buy it please be careful. Don’t put to much on, bc it is very strong and irritating for your eye. (I would recommend it tho)
I have the same experience!! It’s kinda irritating especially when my skin is on its drier day. I’d recommend only using a small amount...
Hyram,I LOVE YOU. You know how hard I’ve been struggling with my acne and acne scars on my face?It has affected my self-confidence so bad but since I found you,everything has changed. My skin is not perfect yet but since I found the solution for healthy skin my mental health and confidence have improved and I don’t have such worries like before. Thank you for everything!!

Personally, for me, i absolutely adore Rosehip seed oil. I’ve gone through about 4 bottles so far and I want to talk about what I know about it (from a bit of research I did on oils affecting skin) Rosehip seed oil is high in linoleic acid, it also contains a small amount of oleic acid (and according to google has a bit of tretinoin which is a retinoid) linoleic acid is great for oily, acne prone and sensitive skin or skin with eczema while oleic is great for dehydrated (oily but feels dry) dry and combination skin. They work on the oils in your skin itself (which I won’t get into but a quick google search can help you out) so depending on if you have dry skin or if you have oily skin linoleic and oleic acid helps your skin in different ways ^-^
They’re present in oils (i would recommend liah yoo’s video on them myself but google would work just as well) so even if you have super greasy and super oily skin, an oil can do wonders if you pick it correctly. Rosehip seed oil has high levels of linoleic acid, along with its own benefits of retinol and anti oxidants and all that good stuff- basically, you can mix it with your moisturiser or put it on after moisturiser because it has a really good hydrating effect. It helps to repair your skin and helps with your ✨oiliness✨, your acne scars, eczema, and it has anti inflammatory properties :)
On to concentration!~
you yourself have linoleic acid in your body and it’s main effect is on the oils coming out of your pores, people with oily skin and a lot of acne have a lower amount of linoleic acid in their skin which makes the oil (coming out of their pores- sorry i forgot its name lmao) thick and sludgy which blocks pores and makes acne :)
more linoleic acid = fixes that issue = helps with acne
oleic acid is a thicker and richer acid, ✨however✨ while it is great for dry skin you can’t really use 100% of it.
Concentration-wise, you should have both acids in your oil / skincare routine to help it balance out (unless 100% only works for you like he said ^-^)
use a balance of both, just have MORE linoleic than oleic if you have acne ridden faces and if you have dry skin use a balance of both but more toward the oleic side ~ also, they may be great moisturisers but put them on either before moisturiser or after moisturiser (or you can mix it with moisturiser too!)
No hate to hyram, i want to give out information on the topic since I really love oils 🥰
Can you recommend some oils that would work better for dry skin?😊
i like the Rosehip oil too. Idk if you already know this but it locks in moisture more when you apply it on a damp face
My friend refuses to wear sunscreen because it’s “poison” but freaking out about premature wrinkles and wants Botox lol
I refuse to wear it as I've tried so many and I break out in whiteheads on all of them. I hate that I cant wear them, makes me worry about wrinkles lol
@@cutedevil786have you tried korean or japanese sunscreens?
@@nerdiecake did you try them ? my face breaks out from sunscreen too :(
@@dior-fh7gf right now i'm using a korean sunscreen called village 11 hydra sun fluid (disclaimer: it does contain a small amount of fragrance, but the company also sells a fragrance free formula that i'll be trying next). i've been using it for almost 2 weeks, and i haven't had any breakouts from it. however, i've never broken out from sunscreen before, so i'm not sure if my testimony means much. i can say that the formula is lightweight and doesn't leave the skin feeling residue-ey, so it seems to be acne-friendly. i hope this helps!
I’m sure someone said this already, but use a physical/light reflecting sunscreen. The chemical sunscreens always break me out too.

I’m IN LOVE with the results rosehips oil gives!!! I’ve been using the one by the ordinary for like 4 months. I have fungal acne, and this is the only hydration I give to my forehead bc it won’t trigger it and it’s so hard to find a moisturizer that doesn’t trigger it. I saw a dramatic change in my skin, and it really evened out my complexion. I so highly recommend it!
I'm using it as well!! Its great😁

How often do you apply the Rose Hip Seed Oil? Should it be used daily or every other day?
@@umairahroslan3037 yes totally try it! It’s all I use to hydrate my forehead and I only use it at night!

@@missmia196 You took the words right out of my mouth 👍
I like the word affordable. Lol
@@missmia196 oh ok i understand thank you for clarity
I’ve actually moved away from The Ordinary since I started using their products a year ago, because the brands products helped me figure out what to look for in other, more well-rounded ones. I think they can be good for people trying to isolate the ingredients that work best for their skin or to make sure that it doesn’t create irritation or a reaction. Like, when I started getting good results from the niacinamide 10%, I looked for other serums that built around that ingredient, but included a lot of other complimentary ingredients. While I know The Ordinary can be confusing, I do actually think it’s a good gateway into knowing what exactly works for you, because their formulations are so simple.
Can we talk about the fact that everything you recommend is literally sold out everywhere? 👀
Not where I'm from 😂

@@collenagustin3011 I used to use a brand from India and thought that was much better. My dermatologist had told me to use Aziderm 10% AA (its not in US).

@@vanshikachawla9944 I believe the inky list oat cleaning balm is back in stock. I just placed an order on their website a few days ago. 👍
I honestly wouldn't use azelaic acid and niacinamide at the same time. It may be too much for your skin even if you haven't been breaking out. And if you start breaking out, you wouldn't know which product it is because you use them so consistently, day and night.
Hyram: haha no one cares I dyed my hair

I watched your initial video on the Ordinary and decided to try it out. I made sure to follow the steps properly and it really turned around my skin for the better! I would say the only acne I get is hormonal on my chin, but everywhere else is a non issue, and i'm no longer super oily. Sunscreen and proper moisturizing also made a huge difference so I give credit to you for introducing this and also educating us about it, thank you!
Which products did you get and how did they work for you? I really only get chin acne as well.
@@user-zd7vc6pv8x I got the Hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide. Recently throwing in the buffet. So i started to double cleanse. After that I put the Hyaluronic, Niacinamide, then a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. That alone cleared up acne most of my other acne and stopped oil. Overall face looked better from that. I still got some chin acne but that was definitely hormonal, especially around my period. For that I went to the doctor.
I'd love to see a comparison between the ordinary and some of their sister brands like NIOD and Hylamide.
Also, I love the squalane cleanser! Definitely for dry and/or sensitive skin, but it was a saviour for my skin this winter. I had upped my retinol usage and was not prepared for how dry my skin would get when winter started, so having a cleanser that wouldn't strip my skin was a godsend. Personally, you need to take your time with it: get it melted, massage into the skin for a good 3-5mins, then emulsify it thoroughly before rinsing off.
I've used Hylamide before - I love the eye serum but I felt that the serum I tried was very similar to TO's Buffet serum and Buffet is loads more inexpensive.
I second having an indepth look at NIOD and Hylamide to look at it from an ingredients comparison perspective
@@hannathehumblebard101 I've used Hylamide's hyaluronic acid serum and it's really nice, much lighter and a little thinner than the ordinary HA+B5, but that's the only experience I have with the brand. NIOD looks great but it's pricey.
@@HardlyNormal12 haven't tried that yet - but I will next time I need to replace mine. I've used the SubQ eyes and SubQ skin before. They're definitely nice but it felt like the SubQ skin did the same as Buffet for me, but at a lesser price point.
The caffeine solution is worked for me. I really love how it reduce my dark eye circle and puffiness. I tried to stop using for a week and that happen again so im sure the caffeine solution helps me a lot for my problems 🙂
I love this product!! I seen a Cassandra Bankson video that suggests that you can use a bit of it with the Moisturizing Factors + HA so I started doing that and it has made my skin look waaay better. My skin is a bit firmer, more smooth and less puffy when I wake up. Idk if it’ll work for everyone but it worked for me
Niod (by Deciem) actually focuses on products that are more well-rounded while The Ordinary was just supposed to be a brand like you said, for those who are experienced with skincare but would like to add in solutions to their routine, without paying a huge price for simple ingredients. Deciem actually didn't expect the ordinary to blow up because they had created 10 brands other brands and none of them made it big. Deciem likes to make these helpful ingredients easily accessible to a wide audience where everyone can afford it as well, but I think what would help is if they put instructions on the box or a little paper inside explaining what the product does, how and when to use it, and how much to use. If they don't already. Because even friends have asked me how to use the products. Niod focuses more on the ever changing technology of the skincare industry and formulates with that as the focus. Very interesting. 🤔

I had a sample size Drunk Elephant Protini moisturizer and i LOVED it, probably because of the peptides. However the full size is 70 DOLLARS. i was like helllll no. The most amazing tip I found for recreating that moisturizer was a comment on a different skincare video and can’t remember who said it but: combine the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and the Ordinary Buffet and voila! You made a cheap Protini! it works exactly the same for me and it’s kept my skin super clear and hydrated and soooo glowy!
I had been gifted the drunk elephant moisturiser in the past and used it all and we don’t have the brand in the UK. I am now shook that I didn’t know the price
I have psoriasis and I have extremely dry patches on my face, especially around mouth and back towards my ears. I use both the squalene cleanser and the rosehip oil because it's the only few products that don't turn my skin bright red from reactions. Like you said, may not be for everyone but if you have extremely dry skin its worth a try
btw- I can't believe I'm this early 😳😳
Exactly same as me. I love the combination of these 2 products on my psoriasis.

@@heidiheidi6775 i also use the CereVe Hydrating Cleanser along with Niacinamide serum. I've lately switched to the Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer and I love it! To be honest its never been 100%, but for ME these have worked the best lately. I've also switched to an anti-inflammatory diet and that has helped with my health in general!
I also have psoriasis. Thanks for the tip!!
Ok honestly I LOVE that the ordinary has no sense of a “well rounded formulation” because I have extremely sensitive skin. I have been trying since childhood to figure out what my skin is sensitive to, but honestly, all I can figure out is what my skin is non reactive to, and it’s MUCH easier to do that with simple formulations. Does that mean my entire routine combined costs exactly as much as what I would’ve spent on a brand name, comprehensive product? Yes. Does it also mean I can specifically isolate what my skin is reacting to and change it day-by-day? Also yes. I would much rather have an abysmally long routine with 10 individual steps, than spend $50 each on 10 different “fancy” moisturizers because they all irritated my skin.
thank youu! this is my exact reaction to hyram's comment about the ordinary's products not being well rounded

I've been struggling with severe acne since I was 10. Fast forward through several doctor and dermatologist visits, prescriptions both oral and topical, and over the counter treatments I never quite found anything that stopped the severe acne. I was 'that kid' in school. My last option was accutane, but I refused after watching my brother go through the rollercoaster ride of accutane. Now 22, I finally found something that works which was the oridinary. I was hesitant, feeling entirely certain that this wouldnt work either. I started using the products (ones that targeted the specific problems I was having). I read up on how to use them, when to use them, what I could and couldnt layer them with etc. Almost my entire routine is the ordinary. I used it for the 6 week period that they say will show whether or not the products work... and the results were less than amazing. I continued it anyway. I've now been using the ordinary for roughly 6 months and I've never seen my skin so happy. I am coated in scars, but my skin isnt actively breaking out like it had for the past 12 years. I still get some bad ones, but for the most part I'm just working on healing my scars. I am more than satisfied:)
I’ve tried millions of eye creams and the caffeine is the ONLY thing that has ever completely removed my puffy, dark circles. In one day. I cannot say enough amazing things about it

I totally agree! Never remove sunscreen from your skin care routine. All dermatologists recommend that. I’m also using Niacinamide and Buffet which i added to my existing skin care that has worked for me for years and the results are just so good! I love The Ordinary! ❤️

Hyram don't scare me with that thumbnail!!!
I really wish hyram would make a video of “2-4 minute video of “why skin care is important” FOR MY HISPANIC PARENTS because they don’t think skin care is needed or good.
HYRAM: salicylic acid is used at around a 14% concentration to literally PEEL WARTS OFF. It is so intensely exfoliating that it reaches under the wart and the entire layer of skin comes off. So you are right, salicylic acid will LITERALLY melt your skin off! I've done it.
Oh my-
Are you ok??
@@miaeit9564 lol--yes, thank you for asking. I am just an unfortunate person who gets warts on my feet and hands, and one of the ways a doctor (or yourself at home) can remove them is with strong salicylic acid. But thank you for your concern!!! 😁
I loved the ordinary, I placed my first order exactly a year ago, however... it’s been so sold out.... I haven’t been able to repurchase. I also have pretty sensitive skin so I was pretty sparing with their products so they lasted me a long time. I’m shocked to learn these teenagers are using this as their full routine. I was using their toner (before I ran out), the red exfoliator (before it ran out), and the vitamin c serum and that’s all I needed

Lmaooo, that moment when I educated my ex on skincare and got him hooked on retinol and now I’m left with emotional damage
I honestly love the squalane cleanser!
I have dry acne prone skin that usually reacts to oils with “fungal acne”. But I guess as squalane isn’t technically an oil it doesn’t react to it.
Also I can’t use ANY water based cleansers. I have tried so many (even the ones that were specifically made for sensitive skin) but for some reason any water based cleanser will destroy my skin barrier.
So now I just double cleanse with the squalane cleanser.
I wear quite a lot of makeup and it does remove it perfectly.
The only thing that’s annoying about the cleanser is that you have to take your time with massaging it in.
I love the CeraVe cleansers! I do agree that it's not super cleansing but I think it's great alone if you don't wear makeup! If you do use makeup, you definitely need to take your makeup off completely before cleansing with them. I am trying so hard to get my skin healthy and clear and your videos have been soooo helpful in my journey! TYSM

I love that cleanser!! I use it as a first step in my double cleanse. I recently switched back to the inkey list oat balm cus I finished the squalene one, but I realised I actually like the feel of the ordinary more!
So ELF came out with a new hemp line and all the ingredients have zero fragrance, I’d love to hear your thoughts!! Especially about the moisturizer.
He recommended in a video a while ago because of the ingredient list! I went through 2 jars to give it a fair shot and it was terrible. It’s not fragranced but smells like old plastic wood (if that even makes sense lol). I have normal skin and somehow it made my skin feel dry, dehydrated and dull. Definitely would NOT repurchase.
I personally love it! I use it everyday 2 jars down! it is a great semi thick moisturizer that I love for our Alaskan winters!
It’s AMAZING try it!
ELF is sold at Kmart!!! 😭
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hate comment under any of hyrams videos...
that’s how loveable he is❤️👏😌
Me: buys the simple micellar gel wash
Hyram: removes it from his shelf
Me: 👁 👄 👁

Micellar wash is always good basic face wash
Lol! But he just switches out the products regularly. Don’t sweat it, but that was funny!!
He also might have run out of it. It's been impossible to find lately!
He said that he was taking it out cuz it’s never in stock on his live, the product is great tho
it’s actually mad how well the caffeine solution works on me like it genuinely makes eye puffiness go down within a few minutes
Damn! Happy for u!
@@michellelanderos2649 hmm maybe it’s the application? for example i take the dropper and drop about 1-2 drops under each eye contour then gently tap at the part right inbetween the puffy and not puffy part, hope that helps 🥰
Omg I love the retinol from them. My skin literally feels so hydrated after and when I wake up my skin is super soft
You make me laugh so so so hard! For someone on the ADHD squad, it's so nice to finally enjoy learning! Thank you for introducing me to Skincare, you have created such a beautiful environment to 1. Finally have a way of self love and self care I didn't even know existed. 2. not feel embarrassed about learning and education! Thank you Hyram ❤
ok but we stan Hyram’s black hair it suits him 😌
Hyram: "the squalane cleanser doesn't really do anything"
Me, putting the squalane cleanser on my face at that very moment: 👁👄👁
Skincare is subjective. What works for one person may not work for another.
I just ran out and already miss it terribly. Best cleanser ever!
Ngl one of my fav cleansers 💓
It's amazing - and dissolves everything. It's my 'go to'' first cleanse. 😊
@@michellesoliman6547 Same here. I always double cleanser, first with an oil based cleanser and then with a water based one.
When will you do NIOD?
It’s weird you haven’t reviewed this well rounded brand that uses good ingredients! Very curious how you would review it
Under someone else's comment he said that he's currently trying it.
Niod and Hylamide toooooo 😭😭
You have to try the SanSkrit Saponins from NIOD. It’s so good for oily/congested skin and had totally saved me from breaking out EVER!
please show us how to use the ordinary then, In addition to other products.
Have you looked on his channel..?
Simple, have a gentle routine and add a product or two that have something to do with your concerns
For example, I don't have any acne I just want to take care of my skin (I'm 20 yo) and I want to give it hydration and reduce oileness
I use the oil cleanser from iunik, la roche posay cleanser (very gentle) and either the cerave lotion or the iunik moisturizing gel on hot days because my skin is already oily I don't want to use any heavy creams (btw both moisturizers are very gentle especially the korean one) and I use a korean sunscreen because they are very light weight and don't have any white cast whatsoever
So due to my concerns, I can add some "supplements" that are high concentrated from the ordinary for example
I use the niacinimaide serum because it reduces my hyper pigmentations (I used to have acne when I was younger) and it reduces oileness
I used to use their lactic acid as an exfoliation (2x a week) which was great
Now I've updated to the Paula's Choice bha 2% (which I also use 2x a week) and we'll see how the results are :D
I'm planning on using either the buffet or the retinol soon but I don't know yet haha
So I'm not saying that you should have the exact same routine, absolutely not
But you should have an already existing gentle routine that suits your skin perfectly (a gentle cleanser, a good moisturizer that suits your skin type and a good sunscreen) and then you can *add* a strong serum that also suits your skin concerns.. You could for example have textured skin, acne, hyper pigmentations, mature skin or alot of other concerns and you should find the right product and add it to a gentle routine
Not create a routine off of 10 very strong serums you know
I don't know if you have tiktok but there are alot of teenagers that are using the aha bha exfoliant from the ordinary (which they should use once a week for a maximum of 10min) everyday or leave it for an hour or so and then they would be like "oh my skin is burnt"
Well yes because this is a strong exfoliant of course our skin cannot handle it for more than 10min :/
Or I've seen some videos from people who had this exfoliant on and they used a dermaroller on it :o
I got so scaareeed omg I'm pretty sure their skin is destroyed
So I'm sorry if this was too long but I hope that you know what I mean :D
Peace
@@rachelsrandoms1670 yes and he only says he recommends them, he hasnt ever shown us how to use or dilute the solutions into existing other treatments/skincare products:)
@@ragh9014 yes i have the peeling solution from the ordinary and only use once a week and also the retinol once a week ive made sure im very sparse with it because i have sensitive skin anyway i cant imagine leaving it on for a whole hour!!b
