This is strong but it works. Don't use too much, my skin tolerates pretty much everything I throw at it but I know when I've applied too much of this. It tingles on most uses, stings if I went overboard. Good exfoliation if you only use it twice a...   +

I have oily skin, so I'm still getting pimples at 40. I've managed to clear up my skin with other products but I still get the odd zit here and there. This makes short work of them. I wouldn't want to use it too much as it can be very drying (kind...   +

I'm not sure if my skin is illuminated or not, but it does feel nice after the addition of this serum. I got a sample via Ipsy and have enjoyed using it. The scent is amazing!

I like this cream, not sure if I would buy it (I got a sample size in my Ipsy box) due to the price. That's really the only complaint I have about it - $63 for 2 oz seems a little steep!

I've been using this since they stopped shipping the stronger retinol products to Canada. I like it and it seems to help with my fine lines and other damage my skin has accumulated over the years. It may be too strong for some, but my skin seems to...   +

I've been using this every night for a few weeks. A little goes a long way. It's great for moisturizing my dry under eyes. I can't say if it's helping my dark circles (I use another product for that, so it's hard to say which is helping) and fine...   +

I use this toner every evening in my skin-care routine. I've bought quite a few bottles over the years! They last and the price is fantastic. I love a lot of the Ordinary's products and I also like how they will advise you on a routine if you're...   +

Matte burgundy shade. It is easy to blend and goes on smoothly. The colour is buildable and may require a few dips in the pan to get a deeper, more opaque colour.

Not quite as dark as it looks in the pan, curfew is easy to blend and lasts all day. It feels really buttery and smooth. Colour is buildable, so you can get a nice, soft wash of colour or a more intense, deeper colour. Use over wet base for the most...   +

I usually love MUG eye shadows but this was a big miss. I'm extra disappointed because I like doing red and/or burgundy eye looks and was hoping for so much more from this shadow. It's kinda dull, barely any shimmer.
