Finally, after a month of wait I received my The Ordinary
by Deciem order. And I am super excited about it. If you are not aware of The
Ordinary brand then I will must ask, where have you been all this time? Deciem
is not a new company. They have many mid-range skincare and haircare brands.
But they got a spotlight last year when Deciem launched The Ordinary – an
affordable skincare brand. When I say affordable, I mean cheap as a chips
brand. Not that you will get all product for a £ but other than one, all
products are under £10. So, it is a super budget friendly brand. But this is
not the end of the story. In fact, it is a start of something very incredible.
The Ordinary range offers high quality products made with potent ingredients at
the price of high-street brands. In most cases, even cheaper than them.
I was planning to get few of products for so long but
recently they added foundations to the line and I thought it as a perfect
opportunity to get few products and see are they worthy enough? Let's give you
a run down what I purchased and why.
Azelaic
Acid Suspension 10%
This was the first product which attracted me the most
towards the brand. I have used Azelaic acid based products in the past. I have
pigmentation issues on my face and Azelaic acid works in a very gentle way to
brighten the complexion and keeping the pigmentation at bay. Over the counter
products containing Azelaic acid are not very common and which ever are available,
they are expensive. While The Ordinary azelaic acid suspension costed me £5.50
for 30 ml.
AHA
30% - BHA 2% Peeling Solution
For last few years I have been loving chemical peel and
preferring it over physical exfoliators. Chemical peel is an intense
exfoliation but also doesn't harm skin if use with proper care. Glycolic acid
is a staple in my skincare. It is combination of glycolic acid, lactic acid and
salicylic acid. A 30ml bottle retails for £6.30.
Advanced
Retinoids 2%
Anti-aging products can cost an arm and a leg if you want
decent results. However, this only costed £8 for 30 ml bottle and it has pipette
too. I tried many products over the years. I didn't talk about them on my blog
because those products come with high price tag and when you spend money you
want to see results immediately. It doesn't happen very often. You must keep
buying those products and use them for at least four months to see the actual
results. It is an expensive and tiring journey. That's why I didn't stick to one product for long. Always deviate to find something new which can provide
quick and effective results. Hence no recommendations from my side. I have high
hope for advanced retinoids though. I will update in future about its performance
but it will take time for sure.
The
Ordinary Colours Foundations- All the rage these days
When I placed my order, I received an email after a couple
of days from Deciem that my order will be delayed due to high demand of
foundations. I thought okay, I can wait for another two, three days. But the wait
was for 30 days. I saw on their website that they were out of pumps for
bottles. I don't know why but I laughed so hard. For some reason, I found it
amusing. I am a simple girl you know. Anyways, I got two foundations *to get a
free shipping*. One serum foundation, 30ml for £5.70, and one coverage
foundation, 30ml for £5.90. I have no idea what to expect from them but they
are quite economical in comparison to many high-street foundations so there is
nothing much at stake.
I will be reviewing all these products on my blog very
soon, so visit this place to be updated. Foundations review will be sooner than
you think however, skincare products will take sometime for me to gather my
thoughts. The Ordinary range is quiet extensive and you can find many other direct acids, vitamins, hydrators and oils on their website.
I hope you enjoyed my haul post. Leave your comments and tell
me what you will get from the brand, if any?
