I have been using this plus Alpha Arbutine 2% +HA, followed by Niacinamide 10% +Zinc 1%. And it did wonders for me! The Ordinary sent me a list how to apply them.
@@ILYSChiP You would wash your face, then add the caffeine solution, let dry. Then add alpha arbutine. Then put on niacinamide. Followed by a moisturizer. This would be your night routine. Then, for the morning, you would wash your face, add caffeine solution, and alpha arbutine. And then add moisturizer and your sunscreen. Before you do this. Please patch test the serums before using them. Just to make sure your skin will take it well. If you have more things like retnoil or other sirums, you can also add to the routine. But please make sure they're in the correct order.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and support! It really means a lot to me! Have been following your videos for a while now and you are absolutely killing it 😃💫 🥰
Hi! Nice video! I have a question: When you say not to apply it with the Retinol, do you mean at the same time or in general? I use my retinol 3-4 times a week. Can I use the Caffeine Solution on the other days?
Hello Ciara, After watching your video, I have bought The Ordinary Caffeine Solution. Please guide for the following: 1) My skin is normal. Will eye cream still be needed to be used if I use this serum? 2) if yes, should the serum be applied first and then eye cream?
As you correctly state this product is a serum. As such serums are generally placed on skin before a moisturizer so that the ingredients can fully soak in. Unless for some reason you want to dilute or buffer the absorption of the serum, then you reverse the order. Some complain of this serum drying the skin and I suspect these people are not using a complete routine which should include some type of moisturizing eye cream.
Thank you for your comment! I don’t think you will have any problem with it but I would definitely recommend doing a patch test first on a clean area of your upper forearm and leave it on for 24 hours. If you have no irritation or redness, then you are good to go 😀 I would only use it once a day at first just to see how you get on with it as it can be quite drying. I hope that helps!
i know you were talking about how you should clean the bottle bc it can get bacteria and dirt in it and cause acne. So i was asking if this has already happened and there is bacteria on the bottle should i not use it anymore and buy a new one? or is it fine and i can just clean it?
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Yes, of course, you can still use it. Maybe just wipe it clean with an antibacterial wipe. That’s what I usually do if the product gets on the outside of the bottle. Hope that helps 😀
it helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles (non hereditary dark circles). They have a new eye serum out. (multi peptide eye serum) I have been using it for three weeks and prefer it over caffeine solution as it works better on eye wrinkles. It also does't dry out your under eye so much.. I hope that helps :-)
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Yes I would recommend using a moisturising eye cream afterwards. I love Etude's moistfull collagen Eye cream and COSRX advanced snail peptide eye cream. Hope that helps. xxx
@AllThatGlows I've subbed and I appreciate your work, for working outside for 22 years you have a video on how to shrink pores? Worried about looking like I've been shot with a very small shot gun on my nose 😆
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm going to try and put together a video on shrinking pores as soon as possible! Have a lovely day @@SMOKEY-Junior
Use ordinary hyaluronic acid best and best my sister face has so many dark acne marks she use it and the result is best superb in a month her face 70% clean
Thank you for taking the time to comment! Yes use this before applying a moisturizing cream. Always work your way from the thinnest textures to the thickest textures. I hope that helps!
@@nscott2590 I live in a tropical country and it helps a lot. Not only my skin is protected from the sun but dark pigmentation around my eyes are gone...
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I wouldn't use this on your hair as it's not made for that purpose. Try using The Ordinary's multi-peptide serum for hair density or The Inkey List has a product called "Caffeine Stimulating Scalp Treatment" - they might help!
Hey thank you for your video , I have been using caffeine solution since three weeks now and I’ve got some red pimple under my eyes does anyone know why do I have it ?
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Is the red pimple still there? Maybe you had an allergic reaction to the ingredients in the product. I would stop using it just in case it is in fact the product. xxx
Thank you for your comment. I wouldn't recommend using this on your hair. The Ordinary has a lot of other great products specifically designed for the hair. I'll leave a link here to where you can find them: deciem.com/en-us/search?cgid=theordinary-hairtreatments Hope that helps!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I wouldn't use it as an antioxidant all over the face...it's just for the eye area. The Ordinary's Pycnogenol is a fab anti-oxidant. Would recommend it instead. Hope that helps. :-)
It's not going to do much for fine lines around the eye area. I would try their new Multi Peptide Eye Cream. It's on the pricer sider but I am finding that I am having better results for the fine lines around my eye area. I hope that helps. Thank you for commenting.
I am really sorry to hear that. In Europe, it's definitely one of the cheapest skincare brands in comparison to other skincare brands. Maybe it's due to importation tax. Hopefully their prices in your country will go down soon. xxx
I started with the Niacinamide serum and now I will try the Caffeine one. Thanks for the video.

Hi can you teach me how to layer caffeine, alpha arbutine and niacinamide? thanks
also it needs to apply sunscreen on it ?

Do you apply to dump or dry skin?
Dry

Take a shower first and then do your skincare routine so it will stay on your face all day. I hope that helps!

Thank you for taking the time to comment! Yes use this before applying a moisturizing cream. Always work your way from the thinnest textures to the thickest textures. I hope that helps!
Can i use sun protection cream after the use of ordinary?
Yes just add a little more sun protection on the area where u used the ordinary
You should always use sun cream on your skin. All over it.
how do i use it with other serums? do i just apply vitamin c right after putting on the caffeine solution
Thank you for your comment! Yes you can use The ordinary's Vitamin C serum right after putting on the caffeine solution. I hope that helps you out :-)
Does anyone apply this before sunscreen? I’m wondering if it boosts the sunscreen…
I do... I wait like 30 minutes after putting on the serum to put sunscreen on..
@@Kittywalk__ awesome! Thanks! Have you noticed added benefit from it? Seems like it would add better protection for sure
@@nscott2590 I live in a tropical country and it helps a lot. Not only my skin is protected from the sun but dark pigmentation around my eyes are gone...
can i use 1% retinol on my face but not around my eyes and still use the caffeine solution?
yes?
I would not recommend it as if you do accidentally mix the two, it could cause a a lot of irritation and redness. I hope that helps. xxx
Can I use this for my hair? I heard caffeine helps in hair growth.... please let me know

It's not going to do much for fine lines around the eye area. I would try their new Multi Peptide Eye Cream. It's on the pricer sider but I am finding that I am having better results for the fine lines around my eye area. I hope that helps. Thank you for commenting.
It’s economical for you bt for us Sri Lankans it’s one of most expensive products. Poor us. Anyways thank you for this review.
