Deciem (The Ordinary)

...they are having 23% off everything on their website. I believe it runs through the month. Shipping is free with a minimum $25 order.

I ordered last year and everything arrived quickly and was well packed.

Thanks, I have been meaning to check out this brand...I believe they are cruelty free and reasonably priced.

Thanks for this. I was waiting (and wondering) if they would have a holiday sale. My first time trying their products. The sale lasts all month, in case anyone was wondering.

TO is cruelty free but they are owned by Estee Lauder which is not CF. So if you buy TO products then you are supporting animal testing...that's how I see it but others may not.

@SilleeMee Thanks for the information, I didn't know the relationship with EL...and won't buy certain products as a result of the parent company not being cruelty free.

I have used Buffet + Copper Peptides with vit. c but read that you should not use them together. @SilleeMee do you know why? Thanks

@Ms Nixie

You can use vitamin with peptides but only with certain types of VC, ones which are not acidic such as MAP, ET-VC or THDA derivatives. It's the acid that breaks down the peptides rendering them inactive so the (L) ascorbic acid variety should not be used with peptides b/c L-AA is very acidic.

@SilleeMee - thanks. I was wondering when I read that if I was canceling anything out. The Vit.C is using now if ok to use with the Buffet. Thanks again.

@Ms Nixie

What type (derivative) of vitamin C are you using with the peptides?

@SilleeMee - I am using Mad Hippy, is that one wrong to use with the Buffet? I quit using the Buffet, but was hoping to get back to it.

@Ms Nixie

Oh yes, you definitely can use that Mad Hippie VC with The Ordinary Buffet products. Mad Hippie contains SAP vitamin C derivative which is compatible with most other ingredients as well. SAP is not acidic.

What about Ethyl 3-0 Vit C, I see that used a lot now, thanks.

@Shelbelle

Yes, that one I mentioned earlier, abbreviated ET-VC.

@Shelbelle

EAC is ethylated VC, aka ET-VC.
