I love the buffet and the caffeine and niod Sanskrit sapions.

Do you mix the buffet with your cream etc or just apply directly ?

Directly.
I’m not always using a moisturiser now, just potions

Thanks! Inspired by the thread, I've ordered some products myself too :P

I’ve not needed to use one since I’ve started with the buffet

One morning this week I was late for work and I didn’t get time to cleanse and use the buffet and whilst my face didn’t get sore during the day, it felt awful when I got home and in the shower. Really rough feeling. Normally if I had gone into work without slathering the moisturizer on my skin would be sore and splitting

A friend who hadn’t seen me for three weeks asked me what I had been doing as my face was looking so good. I told her about the products and she asked if I had the foundation on , which I hadn’t , because my skin looked so good

I love the feel and coverage of the foundation but now it’s getting brighter I see it’s too orange for me so I’m working on ordering a paler one

At the moment I’m wearing the primer and then a dusting of bare minerals flawless finish No settling in lines at all

Have a look at THIS site and click on the individual product, I think you will find the information you need. HTH

Thank you for your reply - I did look at this website but I didn’t understand which products to buy. It seems from this thread people use a combination of products but how do they know how many to use and which ones? On the Ordinary website there are some example regimes that advise using several products at the same time. I have dry sensitive skin and it doesn’t show a suggested regime for that. I really want to try these products but I’m so confused

I have/had very dry patches and sensitivity I went for the buffet which is so gentle, no dry patches , no flakes, transformation was in days

I also chose the lactic acid to shift the flakiness. I was worried about my skin being sensitive so just started it on my forehead , but seriously it was mild enough for me to be using it all over my face within a couple of days

Im now using it on my neck and d!colletage. That area has had some serious sun damage and was beginning to feel like leather and looks like creased tissue paper, already in three days its feeling softer

Have a look at the website Cult Beauty, see if that helps. The reviews from users helped me decide

Or else if you have a House of Fraiser near you, go ask in there, Im sure they are stockists

I have now ordered the Buffet, the caffeine solution and a primer to get me started!

Thank you to everyone for your advice!
