I'm finally back and this time I'm reviewing The Ordinary Skincare, I've been wanting to try this brand for quite a while ever since I noticed it in the guardian article. Not only is the brand pretty affordable it also carries products that I'm used to seeing higher up in the price bracket. A lot of the products The Ordinary carries consist of acids,retinol and serums which are really good for battling hyper pigmentation.
The two products that I tried were the rosehip oil and the Vitamin C suspension, rosehip oil I'm quite familiar with and have been using for years however the ones I've tried before have always been above £15 so they are quite pricey. I opted for this one because its cheaper and also 100% rosehip oil. Just like the ones I tried before this rosehip oil was very thin which I liked and sunk into the skin pretty quickly. I applied it before I went to bed and added it to my moisturizer in the morning. All in all I was pretty impressed with the price and product and will definitely be repurchasing it. However if you are prone to suffering from flaky/dry skin then I wouldn't recommend it,its way too thin for incredibly dry skin hence why I used it when my skin was normal.
As for the Vitamin C suspension, I wasn't actually sure what the purpose of this product was I think the price got me slightly excited and with the lack of sun in this country I could use all the glow I can get. I tried the Vitamin C for the first time on its own however it has such an awkward consistency it felt like I was rubbing beads into my skin. I then opted to put it in my moisturizer which worked much better however I didn't notice any difference using it other than the slight glow. Which was a disappointment because I had bought it for the hyper pigmentation around my mouth. Either way it didn't bother me because of the price but I am definitely going to try more from The Ordinary I have my eyes on the caffeine solution and a couple of other acid products.
The Ordinary can be found on ASOS and BeautyBay.
