Is my skin the problem?

I live the texture of the product and the way it applies.. I just think I'm a bit allergic to it. My skin itches a loooot when I use it :( so I don't exactly if it's an allergic reaction or what.. unfortunately had to stop using it after 2 times.

Hydration

My skin loves this hydrator, it just soaks it up. Very watery consistency but once applied sinks into the skin brilliantly. Leaving my face hydrated for the whole day.

Skintastic

How I love this line, since I hit 50, my skin has never looked amazing. Their complete line is worth it, and being on a budget it fits right in. I love all the other products that available, nothing over budget, everything is with in my price range.

Less sticky than HA + B5!

The serum actually doesn't contain hyaluronic acid at all, but rather has some marine ingredients that act as moisture reservoirs in the same way that HA does: exopolysaccharides (ferments, yay!), Hawaiian red algae, glycoproteins, and blue-green algae as well as additional proteins and amino acids. There is a 0.00275% content of salycilic acid to stabilize the pH, and shouldn't do any exfoliation if you're worried about that.

The serum is so lightweight it's almost invisible. I don't mind the slightly viscous, tacky feeling of the original but I admit this is a nice improvement and easier to layer. There is a slight funky scent which is common with Deciem's formulas as they don't add any additional fragrance. It disperses within seconds and I've actually gotten rather used to it.

I woud give this another chance

I am a fan of Deceit products with their amazing price points.

I did find that this serum was very watery, so I had to quickly rub on my face or it would drip everywhere. However, I am not sure if mixing with a serum would have been more effective, which s why I say I would try this again.

I did find it moisturized my face well and I did not to but on a moisturizer after. Whereas, some of their serums the oils dry my face out.

I did end up throwing out my product because I noticed it smelt really bad. Perhaps it has a shorter shelf life than other products but I did not have it for longer than a year. So perhaps it is my fault that I didn't pay attention this.

Marine goodness for skin... 🐠

Hyaluronic acid is the hero of hydration in many skincare products of the last few years. Marine Hyaluronics brings together marine derived water reservoirs that hold and attract water, an an essential mechanism that helps lock in moisture. If you can’t get enough of the plumping and moisture boosting properties of Hyaluronic acid but want a lighter, more water based formula, look no further than Marine Hyaluronics, £5.90 for 30ml.

Good price for medium results !

Le produit est vendu à bon prix mais j'ai été un peu triste de la performance de ce produit. Il hydrate la peau oui, mais pas en profondeur et ne balance pas l'hydratation de la peau. N'achetez pas ce produits si vous avez besoin du résultat rapide et efficace, c'est un bon produits d'apoint pour utiliser de temps en temps. En plus, il a une odeur particulière qui rapelle le poisson ou les produits de mer....

Light and refreshing

This serum is so light and hydrating. It doesn't feel greasy at all. I use it under my foundation and it's perfect. Deciem offers a great hyaluronic acid at a very reasonable price.

The less sticky version of HA from TO

My journey with hyaluronic acid began with a local beauty product that I fell in love with. It was a facial serum that was quite pricey, so I decided to study the ingredients to see if I can find a dupe. Hyaluronic acid was the main ingredient so I began on my search - and to my amazement, I found Deciem / The Ordinary.

Pros:
- super super affordable
- a little goes a long way
- very accessible (if you live in Toronto) They are also slowly growing an online presence with major retailers like Sephora
- absorbs very very quickly (I have actually started misting my face with a spray/toner before I apply so that I can spread the 2-3 drops evenly on my face before it absorbs)
- makes your skin feel smooth
- skin feels plump/hydrated
- no breakouts

Cons:
- smells a bit weird

Compared to the The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid + B5, this is WAY less sticky and is quick to absorb. Great for a girl on the go.
