The ordinary

Hi 

Has anyone used the ordinary for dry bumpy skins especially under the eye cheek area. I also get redness on my cheeks.

    Ordinary what? Motor oil? 
  • I'd be a bit wary about some of these products on the eye area as many will include SA and makes the skin peel.
    I've never been that impressed with The Ordinary products, but it does get good reviews. 

    To get rid of bumpy skin I use Cerave SA cream and that has transformed my arms, not sure if they do an eye cream?

  • I use the Caffeine serum for the eyes - it's for keeping it supple and I don't suffer any dark bags at all. Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG | The Ordinary
  • I use cerave for bumpy skin but i cant usee it every day. Some ordinary products have caffeine that im allergic to. I use cerave cleanser three times a week, the cream and glycolic pads all frrom superdrug. Ordinary is often on offer on pretty. Little thing website
