Hi, @veronika23! I've not heard of this company so checked out their website. Their products look interesting. I look forward to what others have to say!

@Titian06 I am fairly new to the brand.. I've bought a few things from The Ordinary/Hylamide and HIF and currently trying them. The prices are good though so that's a plus. I've also heard/read that their brand The Chemistry brand is very popular in Europe. It's mostly hand/body but people have been using their hand chemistry cream as a face cream. I pretty sure I read this and @Mochapj told me. She knows a lot about the brand. I'm waiting for a set to come back in stock so I can try it 😄

I placed my first order last week. It arrives Monday and I can't wait to try these products! This brands lines have been on my radar for a while but I finally decided to take the plunge and try them out.

Oooh, thanks for the introduction V Love expanding my makeup horizons!

Thanks V, yeah it was the back when that 'brand' was still called Hand Chemistry that the one hand cream got all the hype for being anti-aging on the face.

I hadn't noticed they dropped Hand from the brand name - interesting!

All of the other things I still wanted to try from The Ordinary came back in stock this week, so I'll be back with my thoughts in a few weeks after I've tested them out.

I picked up what appears to be a Pixi Glow Tonic dupe (Glycolic Acid 7% toner), what appears to be a Paula's Choice BHA dupe (Salicylic Acid 2%), the cold pressed Rosehip oil, and the Alpha Lipoic Acid.

I mentioned it in the skincare thread already, but they also have what appears to be a dupe for the Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial (at a much more affordable price) but just like the DE, it's not available in Canada due to the ingredients :S

This morning, I used The Ordinary's 23% Vit C serum. I've been using DE's one, which has been fine. I'm new to Vit C, so I have very little to compare it to. My first thought is that I'm happy there is Hyaluronic Acid in it! A little bit of moisture doesn't hurt! My second thought was it was gritty. It has little bits of grit in it. I applied it, waited several minutes before I put on my other skincare. My initial fear was makeup and how that would work out. I haven't put on makeup yet- probably won't today, but my skin doesn't appear to still have lingering grit on it, so I think I'm ok.

@Mochapj Thanks for mentioning that DE dupe the other day. I ordered it earlier this week (though I've never used the Babyfacial so I won't be able to compare the two). I will definitely check out the Pixi and PC dupes.

I also ordered the Hylamide SubQ Anti Age so I'm pretty excited to try that out.

@Mochapj do you know what ingredients make it restricted in Canada? Or is it their %?

Re: DECIEM THREAD!!!

Mochapj — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 16:04:25 GMT

@veronika23 my understanding is it's the percentage of AHA that's the problem

i saw on their IG they will sell it to licensed skincare practitioners in Canada but not to general public

I've been using The Ordinary vitamin c suspension 23% + ha spheres 2% for a couple weeks now. So far, I'm impressed! I use it 2-3x per week in the evening.

It is gritty when you apply it (it has powder in it), and I find it does cause a tingling sensation at first.

I tend to have a hard time with Vitamin C products (a lot of have them have irritated my skin early on) but I haven't had any issues at all with this one.

I noticed just a couple days ago that I could see a difference in my skin - more even-toned and brighter. It seems to work well with my regular routine.

I have the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA on its way to me, to test out next.

Next on my list to pick up: the salicylic acid 2% solution (I want to compare it to my HG standard PC 2% liquid).

Oh, and I have tried some of The Fountain too. It hasn't been long enough for me to form any sort of opinion.

I tried the Hylamide SubQ Anti Age and did not see any results (used entire bottle, 2x/day); I was disappointed because the cost is amazing. I'm interested in the Ordinary niacinamide, though. I think it's definitely great if one of the products is useful, but when I added up the cost of all the products (that come in my current serum), the cost was exactly the same ($85). FWIW, I am trying out Nuface smoothing serum. I have been using it 2 weeks and so far I have seen results.

@Mochapj Gotcha! Thanks! 🙂

Sephora sells some of these brands? I can't find them?

i love the niod copper serum, and am

much happier with the non-refrigerated formula 🙂 Although the cold serum was nice in summer.

Just started using the ordinary's retinoid product - love love love. Will definitely repurchase and will be trying a couple of their other products with my next order!

Re: DECIEM THREAD!!!

JenniferOhJenny — Sat, 18 Mar 2017 02:43:42 GMT

I couldn't find them, either. I was thinking maybe it is Sephora in Canada that has them?

Re: DECIEM THREAD!!!

I've been using products from The Ordinary for a couple of months now and I love them. My favourites are the advanced retinol, vit c suspension, and the lactic acid 10%. The niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, and azelaic acid are also in my rotation. My main skin goal is reducing hyperpigmentation from old acne and I've been seeing good results

I want to try the 7% glycolic acid toner and the 2% BHA treatment next. It's also a bonus that they're based in Canada so my orders arrive pretty fast. 🙂 Their prices don't make this student's wallet cry either. A skincare lover's dream come true!

The Ordinary products have quickly become my favorite skincare products (minus the Vitamin C suspension) and I use them in my daily routine. I've noticed an overall difference in skin texture and brightness. I love the simplicity of the products because I can mix and match whatever I need to form a cocktail and/or mix certain serums into my moisturizer. 🙂

Beautylish has started to sell this line (or will be very soon as they had early access a week ago) @Zpsid91 also ASOS has it as well for America. I know our lovely Canadians ladies can purchase it at another place as well (I just don't remember the name of the store sorry). 🙂

Re: DECIEM THREAD!!!

Zpsid91 — Sat, 18 Mar 2017 11:47:52 GMT

@niki172- I order directly from Deciem - they are easy to work with.

I am still confused as to Sephora selling them? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere and t doesn't say Sephora is a retailer on their website....( I will continue to purchase through Deciem)

Really interested in the Mast Must. Has anyone tried this yet? I understand it appears to minimize pores, but I'm also curious how well it works as a morning Cleanser.

Can't beat their price for Squalene! It's in my cart, still waiting to place an order. Just trying to whittle it down a bit. If the products actually do the job, the prices are unreal! Lots of products without silicone too, which is a big selling point to me.
