Why I Love The Ordinary

I have a new skincare love.
The Ordinary.

I think I first came across it on well.ca but most of it was sold out, so I did my research and found it also on beautylish.com.

The company is actually Deciem and I've also tried some of their Chemistry and Hylamide line now too.
And they also are the company that does Fountain, which I tried last year and the 'Happy Molecule' definitely made an impact on me.
But this is about The Ordinary.

I own and love the following four products so far: Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2%, Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

 I use the Hyaluronic acid every day, twice a day. The lactic acid can be used every night but I've been doing well with every second night.  I use the salicylic acid on any blemishes I have twice a day and it seems to keep them from growing to a monstrous size.  The peeling solution is only recommended to be used twice a week for only 10 minutes and out of fear I follow just that.

I have noticed a dramatic difference in my skin.  It's not been as dry and the peeling solution makes it incredibly smooth and soft.  And after a night of using the lactic acid my skin always looks brighter (I am a lactic acid lover).

Plus the packaging is simple and I love the dropper.  I wish I would've taken a picture of when I received the products, they were all wrapped up in brown paper packaging tied up with string (but seriously).  Not to mention that it's super affordable and made in Canada. And the disclaimer on the website, "DECIEM does not test on animals and does not pay others to do so. For this reason, none of our brands are sold in mainland China since such sales require animal testing for registration purposes."  I mean come on, is this for real?

Oh, and they're coming out with foundation too.
I am just so in love with them so far.

I'm all about buying local, buying Canadian and the fact that this Canadian brand hits it out of the park for me is just awesome. 
Well done!

I am currently purchasing their retinoid. . .
