I am a regular user of The Ordinary, and would love to try their foundations, both because of the price and the write ups, but am reluctant because the colour shown on websites does not always match real life. You could end up spending as much as the high end foundations cost, if you are not careful
Were your foundations a good match?

They were both a good colour match but what I would say is that I have some redness and the serum foundation wasn't enough but the coverage foundation is perfect.

Thought Id update as its now a month along

Im still getting good results, my skin over all is smother and less dry. I cant see any difference in my crease lines - the 11's at the top of my nose or between nose and mouth, and I never had anything worth mentioning around the eyes or anywhere else so I can comment there

Im still getting odd outbreaks of flakes around my eyebrows, scalp line and bottom of chin, but those are the areas most effected by my seb derm, and Ive been suffering with a heavy cold( read run down so seb derm flares) so its hard to say

I have had people say Im looking really well

I got a little sample of the serum foundation, and it was horrible. even forgiving the colour, it just sat on my face and looked bloody awful. Completely different to the coverage foundation. Im still trying to get a good colour match on that, samples are hard to come by and theres no where near that stocks it

So, for the money, I don't think you can go wrong. The buffet @ £12 which I apply twice daily is half done so is a complete bargain and the lactic acid will last a good few more week

Oh, forgot to say, the improvement on my decllotege is amazing. The leather has softened and its not such a ruddy colour. Don't know if its the acid or the buffet thats made the difference as I use both. Hopefully the improvement will keep on when the good weather makes it here

I am going to look further at starting the retinol. I have two areas high on my cheeks that are very badly sun damaged and are looking very pronounced now the rest of my face looks so good. But I think that o=won't be till im feeling better myself but I will review when I do

Hope some of this has helped people decide

Thank you suki1964 , I've just started using the products I bought too and they seem to be working already! I've only been using them for just under a week but my face does feel more plump.. although this could be because it is finally getting the attention in needs!

lol

I thought the same as the results were so obvious so quickly but even if I miss a morning or evening, Im still looking good

Just an update for anyone who's interested, these products have really improved my skin, particularly the Buffet! I've ordered several more of their products and few that people have suggested on this thread, so thank you very much for your recommendations!

So many are dropping these brands over the ongoing drama of the ex CEO removed by court order.


Closing the stores for months when the staff on zero-hours contracts, sacking people at the drop of a hat travelling around staying in high-end suits, accusing people of trying to kill him. Estee Lauder of money laundering etc etc etc. Ex-staff members talking about the culture of bullying.
