The Ordinary Skincare Is Extraordinary

In looking for photos, I stumbled upon the BeautyFrenyBlog, so you can also read what another blogger has to say about the line.
As THE SAVVY SHOPPER, I'm always in search of the best skincare (that works according to science) for less. The more choices, the better for consumers. 

In my ongoing research, I've hit upon another excellent skincare line, called The Ordinary, a brand from parent company Deciem. Their beauty team specializes in chemistry and biochemistry to make effective skin products, with a focus on the latest innovations and keeping prices affordable. 

Moreover, the skincare is free of the usual undesirable suspects, such as "parabens, sulfates, mineral oil,  methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, animal oils, benzalkonium chloride, coal tar dyes, formaldehyde, mercury, oxybenzone." 

The line is sold in Europe, Canada, and on Amazon, as well as, various online retailers like ASOS.  There are several Deciem brick-and-mortar stores here in Manhattan including: (1) 611 Madison Avenue; (2) 194 Columbus Avenue; and (3) 26 Prince Street. No animal testing is involved in developing the products.
Here's a cheat sheet of best serums compiled by YouTube's Cassandra Bankson linked here. (Updated Jan. 12, 2023) 
By taking the time to read about the treatments via the Ordinary website, you can figure out what your skin needs and build your custom skincare routine. But instead of paying $40+ for designer brands, you pay $10-$20 or less and receive six times the amount. Is that not savvy shopping?

Here are two products from The Ordinary I recommend starting with: 
1) Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane - Fights multiple signs of aging with quicker cell turnover without irritating the skin.
2) Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - Hyaluronic acid attracts up to 1,000 times its weight in water and helps the skin retain moisture. Vitamine B5 supports the formula.

Add other skin care essentials as needed, including direct acids, antioxidants, and sunscreen. The offerings include a face foundation in 12 shades with sunscreen as an ingredient.

Customers and their wallets💸 love💘 The Ordinary beauty! So popular, distributors have difficulty keeping the brand in stock.

      Two good 10% lactic acids brands are 1) The Ordinary
      Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Exfoliating Serum. The link here: https://www.sephora.com/product/the-ordinary-deciem-lactic-acid-10-ha-2-P427413?country_switch=us&lang=en&skuId=2031433&om_mmc=ppc-GG_1917651515_76228057171_pla-418863852609_2031433_353513007751_9067609_c&ds_rl=1261471&gclid=CjwKCAiAtdGNBhAmEiwAWxGcUkSScXCjoDBPrvsZG5i-2ABF72o1msYbwMu54rRRwNjORy46L7NOYBoCxZ8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds.

      Another brand beauty editors like is Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid - the link: https://www.olivela.com/products/sundayriley-goodgeneslacticacidtreatment30ml-21871?gclid=CjwKCAiAtdGNBhAmEiwAWxGcUq45o6wKI5hb6Gy6Rq37znQqSSRS7lc7yYavsHGL

      So 2 different prices and both good. I'd probably try to cheaper one.
