The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
This serum is a high-strength vitamin and mineral blemish formula with 10% pure niacinamide and 1% zinc PCA. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. It is a powerful formula for oily skin. This high concentration vitamin serum helps to balance visible aspects of sebum activity. Using this serum has helped my skin curb my sebum production. My skin is clear and my texture has improved significantly.
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
If you are on the market for a powerful anti-aging serum, I recommend you try Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. It is a form of Vitamin A retinol but a more advanced formula. It is gentle and mild on the skin and will not irritate your skin.
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion is a next-generation retinoid that works faster to achieve the reduction of visible fine lines and wrinkles, repair dull skin, fade acne scars, and revive skin texture without the irritation you will experience with most retinol. Use this serum as part of a night-time treatment routine.
Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA
Are you looking to fade acne scars naturally and effectively? Alpha Arbutin works speedily to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Alpha Arbutin is extracted from berries such as blueberries, cranberries, and bearberries. Alpha Arbutin is a safer alternative to hydroquinone and has similar results in brightening the skin without any adverse effects like you will get using hydroquinone. The way it works is it reduces the skin’s pigment production by suppressing the enzymes that stimulate melanin.
The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin is a 2% strength and includes Hyaluronic Acid to enhance delivery to the skin and provide maximum hydration.
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Exfoliate twice a week with this peeling solution – Do a deep pore cleanse and remove bacteria, dead skin cells, oil, to reveal brighter skin. Improve the radiance of your skin, your skin’s texture, and reduce the look of lines. Best if used at night-time. Do not forget to apply sunscreen during the day, as this solution will make your skin very sensitive.
Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
By far, the BEST spot treatment I have ever used. You can find Azelaic Acid naturally in grains such as barley, wheat, and rye. It has potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. This Suspension is a multifunctional and brightening formula.
Whenever I have an acne pop up, I dab a bit of Azelaic Acid on the pimple spot, and within 24 hours, the acne is literally gone – and the best part, It does not leave a scar on my skin.
Azelaic Acid brightens the complexion and is an excellent antioxidant that helps your skin maintain a youthful appearance.
These are my top picks from The Ordinary Skincare so far. I have a couple of more products I want to test out, so here is to future Deciem reviews.
