MY EXPERIENCE: I have used the shampoo and conditioner daily for the past two weeks since I received it in the mail.
I really love that my hair feels squeaky clean and softer after using these products. I also have very fine hair and I like that the conditioner didn’t weigh it down. Lastly, major points for the fact l that I didn’t get an allergic reaction after using them! Maybe because it doesn’t have sulfates, parabens and dyes. (Some products have such strong fragrances or chemicals that my face breaks out in hives. My skin can be that sensitive/finicky.)
My only critique is that I didn’t like the scent. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell like the kind they use in a hair salon — which some others might really like, but is just not my thing as I prefer more citrusy scents.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Overall, I liked these products and what they did for my hair. Once I finish up these samples from Hair Food, I’m probably going to the store to sniff-out the other collections. Maybe the other variants will have a scent that I like more.

I've been looking for a more affordable alternative to JM's argan oil. I first tried The Ordinary's argan oil but the smell really put me off. Next I tried The Ordinary's rose hip seed oil but I had an allergic reaction to that. Then, after reading the positive and very convincing reviews on The Ordinary's website by "EL on 31 July 2018" and "KK on 03 August 2018", I decided to give this a go bec I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin. And guess what? They are 100% right.
I love, love, LOVE this facial oil.
I put this on my skin in the AM & PM. In the morning, I put this on before my sunscreen. In the PM, I put this oil on first then slather on my Cetaphil moisturizing cream to lock in the benefits and hydrate my skin overnight. I wake up with such soft, glowing skin. It's truly amazing!
I even put it on my 7yo son's skin and we've both had baby soft skin even with the crazy frigid temps we've been having in Toronto.
I have not had an allergic reaction to it. My son and I have been using this oil for over 3 months. And I think it's even helped heal some of my skin irritations. lightened my old acne scars, and improved the appearance of the lines on my forehead. My skin has never looked better!
As for the scent, I think it's lovely. It's a bright, green, "grassy" scent that I hardly even notice anymore.
Thank you, The Ordinary! I've found a Holy Grail product that I will forever purchase. I hope you don't stop making this!

My son has eczema and this winter has been hell on his skin. I tried the many different eczema specific creams and balms like Aveeno, Eucerin, and Polysporin to treat/prevent his rashes but the only thing that has worked is Vaseline petroleum jelly. Right after his bath, I slather a good amount on the areas of his body that are prone to rashes and the rashes have healed! Better yet, they haven't come back! My baby boy is no longer scratching his skin till it bleeds. We're both so happy and relieved! -

We (my son and I) love chocolate hazelnut spread. That other famous brand has been a favorite of ours for a long time. When Costco came out with their own version of the spread, we decided to give it a try because Costco has the best stuff. And guess what? We can't even tell the difference! This hazelnut spread is sooooooo good! In fact, we don't buy that other brand anymore. -

Costco really has the best stuff.
