5 Best The Ordinary Products

Updated: Dec 30, 2020




Nothing beats affordable products that work better than anything else in the market. Deceim does a great job in keeping up with both in their The Ordinary skincare collection. They offer a great variety of products that do wonders to your skin without having to break the bank. Here are a few of our favourites:







Available in two sizes:

30ml ($6.80 CAD) 60ml ($12.20 CAD)








Why we love it:

It is GAME CHANGER! Hyaluronan is a substance our body naturally has. When you apply hyaluronic acid, your skin drinks up and holds on to that moisture and hydration. Your skin will immediately look more plump and youthful. It will look like you just gave your skin a big tall glass of water. This also helps tighten skin, it helps to firm up your facial contours giving you a more youthful appearance. We use this day and night before a moisturizer.








Available in two sizes:

30ml ($5.90 CAD) 60ml ($10.60 CAD)







Why we love it:

This product has endless benefits in one bottle. It reduces the appearance of acne scars and evens out your skin tone. It also helps with congestion and prevents acne from emerging on your skin. It leave your skin shine-free as it balances the release of sebum on your skin and acts as a barrier from external irritants.

Warning:

May cause mild burning on the skin, although unlikely. Mostly safe to use with other products, but consult a professional for more info.






60ml ($17.90 CAD)





Why we love it:

This product helps keep hair look shiny, healthy, and thick while encouraging hair growth. I have been using this product for about a month now and right away I saw an immediate difference in my hair growth and its over all health. I have colour-treated hair and I am now even more over due for a touch up because of the growth I had gotten from this serum.

This comes in a droplet bottle, and the idea is to squeeze some product out and massage it on the scalp. I usually transfer the bottle to an empty spray bottle so I have more control on the application. I use this every other night, and I just leave it on overnight and wash it off the next day.





30ml ($6.70 CAD)




Why we love it:

If you have dark spots, skin discolouration, or any skin texture problems at all, this product will be your best friend. This lactic acid is a chemical exfoliator that gently works to lighten dark spots and improve the look of fine line and wrinkles. Lactic acid also works to speed up cell turnover and encourages cell renewal. This is one of the more gentle hydroxy acids in the market and can make a significant change in the skin if used regularly. After the first few nights of using this product, my skin immediately looked brighter and smoother. This product paired with the Hyaluronic Acid will change your skin for the better.


Take note, though this product does target dark spots, your skin gets sensitive to the sun and can increase the chance of darkening your existing dark spots, so make sure you wear sunscreen during the day everyday, and only use this product at night. This allows the acid to penetrate deeper into the skin ensuring all your hard work will show.

Warning:

Since this is an acid, be extra careful when using on sensitive skin. Start with a weekly dosage then increase as your skin gets used to the formulation. Do your research before using with other acids. This product increases the skin's turnover rate which may result to "skin purging," or the appearance of acne or bumps in the first few weeks of use.




30ml ($6.70 CAD)




Why we love it:

This moisturizer works over time for your skin without you even knowing it (except now you do). This contains amino acids, dermal lipids and of course hyaluronic acid. It is not greasy at all and it doesn't feel heavy so it's perfect to use under make up. This product delivers long plastic effects on the skin. It is a simple moisturizer with no fragrance and it is light weight. When you first put it on, the texture will feel a bit strange (it has a texture of a pore filling face primer) but I promise once you massage it on your face, your skin will glow and look more plump. I use this as a day moisturizer followed by my SPF.
