Hello everyone!
In case you have not heard about this company, well, you are missing something very important in your life!!! Deciem | The abnormal Beauty company or The Ordinary is one of the best companies I have chanced upon in the beauty industry. All the products the company makes are very reliable, effective and very reasonably priced. These are the reasons this U.S company rose to fame in no time and took the beauty world by storm.
If you have not tried any of The Ordinary products yet, You must. Quite contrary to the brand name, The Ordinary products are anything but ordinary. Read on to know why:)
Product Description/Claims: AHA exfoliates the skin's topmost surface for a brighter and more even appearance. Beta hydroxy acids (BHA) also exfoliate the skin and help clear pore congestion. The solution helps fight visible blemishes and improves skin radiance. It also improves the appearance of skin texture and reduces the look of fine lines with continued use.
Silicon free, alcohol free, oil free, cruelty free and vegan
Note: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.
Qty: 30 ml
Price: 12.30 USD (Got from an Insta reseller at about 1000 INR)
Shelf life: 12 months after opening.
Best time to use: NIGHT time
Color and Texture/consistency: Red, Viscous
Packaging: Sturdy glass bottle
Main ingredients: 30% alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic/lactic/tartaric/citric), 2% beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), hyaluronic acid crosspolymer, vitamin b5, black carrot and tasmanian pepperberry
Directions: Clean face and wait for skin to dry. DO NOT USE ON WET SKIN. Apply evenly across face and neck using fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for no more than 10 minutes. DO NOT LEAVE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. It is not recommended to use more than twice per week.
My Experience: It was my first time using acids on face, and I was indeed scared. I had heard great things about this solution and also knew that acids make your skin sting. I was worried but, just like always, curiosity got the best of me. I strictly followed the directions to avoid any risks and the results were visible in just 2 applications.
Popularly known as 10 minutes blood facial, this solution is a skin savior. This is how I use it: I wash my face with my regular cleanser, dry my face with a soft towel, apply a thin layer of it on my face and neck, check the time, and put an alarm for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, I wash it off with normal water while making sure it doesn't get into my eyes. (It's acid, remember). After this, I only use aloe-vera gel. (I once used ice and some other creams, but my skin did not like it and turned red for the first time ever in my life. So from then on, I don't use much products whenever I use this solution)
When I used it for the first time, my skin felt a little tingling sensation which was okay. Second time, it did sting but nothing really scary. In fact, I find it fun to use it. Whenever my skin looks dull or congested, I use this solution and voila! My skin becomes so much better.
I only use it once in a week during night time. It is an acid, so it is better to avoid instant sun exposure; which is why night time is a better option. Also, the product gets time to work the entire night. The acids make the skin dry so I use a light-weight natural moisturiser (Aloe Vera gel) after rinsing it off.
In just a month, I could see visible improvement in my skin texture, acne issues, uneven skin tone and color. It made my skin more even, brighter and improved the texture.
Also, one day I applied it on my relative who has big dark spots on forehead due to sun exposure, and in just one use, the solution removed the pigmentation like it was just a temporary spot made by charcoal or marker!!! The pigmentation actually lightened by 50% and area of pigmentation reduced with just one time application.
Overall, it is a product worth investing in and your skin will thank you. Just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
Pros:
1. Stands true to all its claims!
2. Makes skin visibly brighter
3. Reduces the appearance of fine lines
4. I have noticed reduction in my pores' size.
5. Makes skin more even
6. Improves skin texture
7. Comes with a dropper so applying the solution becomes very convenient.
8. Lightens the skin pigmentation
9. Fragrance free
Cons:
It would be disrespectful to write any. This product is perfect.
Overall verdict:
This 10 minute facial is a must try for anyone above 25. (It is just my perspective, but I strongly believe, acids should not be introduced to the skin regime before 30's)
Caution: Don't use this acid with any other acid on the same day like glycolic acid. Sunscreen usage becomes a must while using these acids because these acids make the skin sensitive to sun exposure. So as far as possible, cover your skin everytime you go out.
Will I recommend it?
Definitely yes.
Lots of love,
Neha
