I've been tempted to try their foundation but have plenty (plus a tinted moisturizer) that I'm happy with right now. If it's as good as their actives, then it should be great!

I’m very content using the Buffet Serum, the Caffeine Eye Serum, and the Niacinamide Serum, but wat I’m most impressed with is the Hair Peptides Serum.

@all - I'm also a fan of The Ordinary. They've got quality products at such an affordable price. I also recently ordered their foundation, but haven't had a chance to wear it yet. If it doesn't work out for me, I only spent 5 or 6 dollars.

Wonderful responses. Thanks!
Oh, SilleeMee, I started using Olay's retinol night cream. Is that OK for real benefits? I only use tretinoin occasionally.

Olay Retinol contains some very low end, sub par ingredients, you can do a lot better.

I'm currently using their retinol serum at night. I can't say I notice anything different, but no peeling either. I have the glycolic peel, I've used several times and it hasn't done anything on the few spots I have. I don't get any tingling or burning either. I also used the hyaluronic serum which is a bit thick, or gooey, but dries fine...again I'm didn't really seeing any plumping or any improvements. My skin is in great condition and I don't have any lines so maybe it's as good as it'll be. I'm very fair, so im surprised the glycolic serum didn't burn or do anything. I ordered it from Sephora and they sent it out as soon as they restocked,, so I guess it's fresh.. I just really wished the glycolic peel would have lightened the spots but ill continue until I finish it. Im really not sure I would order anything again right now.

I have been reading your posts about your spots for a while now. Have you considered asking a derm about what can be done to help you? I did have a couple of spots on my face which were so stubborn and nothing I did helped lighten them. I finally had my derm take a laser to them and now they are gone for good.

@JeanLouiseFinch would you mind sharing how you use the hair serum? What does it do for your hair? Thanks!

would you think about posting a review after you have been able to try the foundation?

This company is anything but "Ordinary"!! They make wonderful products and the prices are unbelievable. Check out their liquid foundations. For less than $7. you get a small bottle of a product that rivals Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Chantecaille, etc.

Hi @furbabylover - - Would you mind sharing which foundation you use? I have sensitive over 50 skin. Do you think it would work on mature, combination skin? Thanks!

@SilleeMee ...looks like I'm going to have to ask my dermatologist...They're not really dark, but I see them, and I don't like them😑. I wear spf, and big ole hat too...but I'm very fair, and I live in FLORIDA. Thx for your suggestions and following up!!
