Don't use this product but know some of you do.  Just read that The Ordinary has discontinued it and replaced it with a "multi-peptide" and HA serum.  

If you use it and can still find it, you may want to stock up.

"The Buffet" serum made my face feel like it was burning a little after I applied it and then my face turned a little red. I threw it out.

Did they say why they discontinued it and went to a new formulation, @JudyL?

The Buffet is an Ordinary iconic product.  I wonder if active ingredients will have the same percentage as the Buffet. (Maybe more because now is will be individual products.)

@JeanLouiseFinch - must admit that I didn't read the article or watch the video.  Sorry!

I used to use the TO Buffet serum and then started buying the Buffet w/ Copper Peptides (from TO).  I'm going to see if I can find out what's going on and what it's being replaced with.  Thanks for the heads up.    But first I'm going outside to watch the crop duster I hear flying overhead.

Just a heads up on the Buffet w/Copper, @monicakm.

- Don't use it at the same time as your Vitamin C serum.

- Copper encourages hair growth, so you may see increased facial hair.

Thank you for the heads up @JeanLouiseFinch 

Yes, I knew about the copper peptides and Vit C.

I also remember reading here about one of those 

plus retinol and glycolic acid.  Sun exposure is not

an issue for me and my face can tolerate retinol and GA

at the same time.  I don't know if I'm applying exactly as I should

but something is working so I won't make any changes at the time.

I don't use the peptides and C in the same application.  It seems as tho

I needed to have 3 separate skincare routines (morning, afternoon, and evening) because peptides don't like to be combined with retinol either.

Does anyone here use Vit C, copper peptides, and retinol and if so, how do you space them?  I don't want to stop any of them.

Peptides and retinol are fine used together 

I don't use copper peptides but I use other peptides.  

AM routine includes:

Glycolic Acid

Vitamin C
Peptides

PM a routine includes 

Peptides

Tretinoin (much stronger than Retinol)

Just got an email from TO about the name change. They said it's the same formula as before. No change to the product except for the name change.
