Got Combo? Get Natural!

I have the craziest combination skin. Greasy with traveling patches of thick, peeling, dry skin. All moisturizers either add to the oil slick or cause blemishes...no not blemishes, zits huge, painful zits! I have tried many, but had heard such wonderful things about The Ordinary that I figured things couldn't get any worse. I gave Natural Hydration a try. I won't say that the dry skin patches are completely gone, but they are better. The miracle in this product is the lack of greasy zits. Two weeks of once daily use and my skin has less dry patches and is super clear. Just a pea sized glob covers my whole face and the price makes this moisturizer a no brianer.

It's A Prime Primer

I have used every blurring primer out there. My favs and go-tos are NYX Pore Filler and Benefits Porefection. However, I was trying to hit the free shipping threshold while buying several other The Ordinary products and saw the High Adherence Primer. I threw it in the cart and forgot about it. I have to say this primer is not better than the others I have tried, but works just as well. With the crazy affordable price, this is now my go-to.

Smooth and easy!

I have bumpy skin. Not necessarily blish covered just...bumpy. I recently received a vitamin c sheet mask in a subscription box and noticed a difference in those bumps once I used it. However, I hate sheet masks. They are slimy and cold, and I just don't like them. But, I did like what vitamin c did for my skin so I went searching for a vitamin c serum to try. I found this suspension and the very affordable price made my decision to buy it very easy. A pea sized dollop patted on and then messaged into my face and neck have completely smoothed out my bumps. I noticed a difference about 10 days of use. The texture is a little gritty, but the directions say to use at night. Grttiness at night is not a problem. I have noticed a very slight tingling, but nothing like the intense stinging that some are desribing. I think there should be some wait time between cleansing and application of this product to avoid discomfort. My face looks much brighter after makeup application and the redness under my nose that has been there forever has evened out considerably. This product it so easy to use, and works so well; why wouldn't you add it to your daily routine.

Works! And fast!

I have woken up with swollen eyes every morning forever due to sinus trouble and seasonal allergies. Until now, I just accepted it and moved on with my day. I saw this product and thought, "What the heck". This is the first skincare item I have tried that actually lived up to its claims. One drop, massaged into each lid (upper and lower) in the morning and the puffiness is completely gone in less than 10 minutes. I have noticed some change in my hereditary dark circles, but no product can change my genes. My father is 70 also suffers from puffy morning eyes. He noticed that mine were much improved. When I told him what I was using, he asked me to order a bottle for him right away. Works perfectly under makeup. The gel is completely unnoticeable on a natural face. This a small bottle, but will last far beyond the 12 month expiration. Would absolutely buy again and recommend to a friend.
