Most loved serum. Period.
Of all the many serums I have tried from the Ordinary, and any other skincare line, this is without a doubt my favorite. I buy it again and again. I would say the best way to describe the effect this has on my fair, dry, sensitive skin is: strength. My skin feels protected, firm, bouncy, and strong ...

Still on the fence about this product!
I have to give 3 stars to this product because, after using all the content of the bottle over the course of various months, I am still confused about whether I actually liked it or not. For a bit of context: I have dry skin, which can really only take as much in terms of the amount of products I l...

Im angry with myself that i didnt try the ordinary some years ago. I wouldnt have struggled with my skin so much.. my skin always been dry but also oily, big pores, blackheads and pimples. I bought expensive creams and gels but also tried almost everything for oily skin that was sold at the drugstore. My skin felt dry but produced a lot of oil after only 2-3 hours. Now my skin feels totally new. I clean my face morning and evening only with a hot damp towel (always a fresh one), when im wearing make up i rub it off with oil before. Then i spray my face with distilled water, massage 3 drops of niacinamide into my skin, let it dry, spray it again and pat on 5 drops of amino acids, hyaluronic acid around mouth and eyes, spray it again and use 3 drops of squalane. Im so happy with this routine!!! No breakouts, no blackheads, no oily skin, no dry skin. I dont even need to exfoliate regularly anymore. When it feels a little sandy once or twice a month i use some drops of mandelic acid after washing my face and leave it on for 20 minutes before i continue my routine. Wish i figured this out in my twenties.. in a week ill be 31 bc and i have finally the skin i always wanted. Big thanks to the ordinary!!!
perfect if you're on TREtinoin

This serum is the best hydrating serum I've ever tried. I put it after cleansing on a damp skin before TRETinoin and in the morning before my sunscreen. Never experienced any irritation/flaky skin with it. I always recommend it. thanks

Really good ingredients but don't necessarily for skincare. It's more prevention.
Saved my skin from tretinoin and winter dryness
Verified Buyer

5/5 stars because it does exactly what it claims to, nothing more, nothing less I use it day and night (4 drops) immediately after washing my face while it's still a little damp. I've been using tretinoin for four months now (0.025%) and it irritates my skin because winter is already drying. I have cystic acne (hence the tretinoin) and scars from previous acne, so my skin looks pretty dull. Adding Amino Acids +B5 to my routine helped reduce dry flakes and irritation over time, and that made my skin look a less dull and more smooth. As a scarring acne sufferer, I appreciate any smoothness I can get. It's been a month and a half, and whenever I do not use Amino Acid + B5, my dry flaky skin increases, and so does irritation from tretinoin. So, it definitely makes a difference. My dad has eczema in his hand, and he puts a few drops of this to his hand cream before applying, and it has noticeably reduced irritation from dryness for him as well. This is a great product if you suffer from dryness. It worked for me and my dad, but may not work for everyone. So try it and see if it helps you too, and if it does not, DECIEM has a great return policy. I will continue to purchase
Horrible packaging for this product
Verified Buyer

A dropper bottle for this is just not it. This stuff is so thin it runs in-between your fingers or all down your face and hands before you even get a chance to apply it. I seriously spill more of it than I end up using! Might work better in some sort of spray bottle application. As far as the product It barely does anything and I'm not gonna waste my time in my routine on this anymore and just opt for a heavier moisturizer/ oil
