I have oily combination skin myself and haven't had any issues with this product.

@@scarlettereviews oh, okay then, thanks :)

Do you happen to have hard water where you live?

P.S. I didn't use any filters for this video. This is how it came out when I filmed it. Each brand of camera has its own colour sensors and colours can come out different.

Resolution may be on the lower side because back then I didn't know how to upload in HD 😅

As someone with oily combination skin I used it twice a day

@@scarlettereviews thanks.

It didn't for me 😊

The miracle toner is better for textured skin and acne. The boj toner is more gentle.

Please did you find out?

😢

@3moo.r It would very much depend on the condition of your skin. As someone with oily-combination skin, I am able to use it twice a day (AM and PM).

Generally speaking, micellar water makeup removers are accepted as gentle and safe to be used by teens and people with sensitive skin. However, everyone's skin is different so it would be best to do a patch test first to see if the product is suitable for your skin. Hope that helps.

Best to use a cleanser that also removes makeup residue and deep cleans pores. 😊

If you are new to retinol products, probably better to start with once every 2-3 days in the p.m.

Hi, @gdvvgdfv . I haven't used the serum before, but from the ingredients list they are formulated differently. A couple of differences that I've noticed is the serum from this series contains more plant/seed oils and acids compared to the toner. I'm guessing that you'd get a slightly oily texture from the toner.

​@@scarlettereviews also it says 2% on the bottle. Does that apply to all the acids or just the niacinamide?

Hi, @donajose2994 . From what I've learnt, you can use a Vitamin C serum after this toner as long as your skin is able to tolerate it. As Vitamin C is also an acid (ascorbic acid) and this toner also contains acids, you might experience some skin redness if your skin is sensitive/sensitized. Hope that helps. 😊

I would rather advise you not to use Vitamin c and any exfoliate product together from my experience when I first start my skincare I mix Japanese Vitamin C serum (I do not remember the name, I stopped using them a long time ago) and a bha toner which is kinda same as the product right here, it is hella burning, so I advice not to make the same mistake as I did

You're most welcome! Glad it worked for you too! 😊

No need. After using your toner, just follow with serum and moisturiser (and sunscreen for a.m. routine).

Hi, @shreyashreya9866 . Unfortunately, I don't think this eye cream will help with sunken eyes.

In my opinion, not the best for oily pimple-prone skin as it is a cream formula. Although they claim that it is non-comedogenic I still found that it caused me to have whiteheads.

What's the rest of your skincare routine like?

@@scarlettereviews I use facial cleanser before applying toner, and then I apply toner to the face in the morning and evening every day

@@dont-try1 Sounds like your skin is dehydrated. Try using a moisturiser twice a day after your toner. 😊

Hi, @laureelshoff . Mine wasn't yellow. By any chance, do you keep your serum somewhere exposed to sunlight?

@@scarlettereviews no i just bought it yesterday, it isn't yellow but it's not clear

@laureelshoff I just looked it up and apparently The Ordinary reformulated this product recently to include ceramides (lipids), hence the slight yellowish tint.

@@scarlettereviews omg tyy so muchhh♥🧡♥

@@laureelshoff You're most welcome 😊

Yes it is

@marinaoceana5851 Glad you found the review helpful. =) For oily lids, you'll need to invest in a silicone-based eye primer as a base for your eyeshadows to help them last longer. I'm currently using this as my eye primer and I find it works well for my oily lids: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMuao7GerpvaiJs.html

@@scarlettereviews thank you so much for responding! I have several primers, but still searching for eyeshadows that would last longer (even with the primer), also I live in hot and humid climate. Since this eyeliner held up so well (and so did clio mascara), I thought of clio eyeshadows - but haven't seen reviews how they do specifically on oily eyelids. Thank you again for responding and creating helpful content 🙂

Dry skin. It's a makeup remover.

@@scarlettereviews this product remove water resistant sunscreen

When a product has "fragrance" it is always a risk for people with allergies as each manufacturer has their own secret blend or blends that they use which are undisclosed to consumers. Best to go for fragrance-free products when in doubt.

Hi, the brand didn't specify for this particular serum. 😅

Hi, if you are currently acne-prone or have oily skin, best not to use this product especially on a regular basis. If you do use it, make sure to clean your face throroughly with a cream makeup remover or cleansing oil (not makeup wipes) at the end of the day to prevent clogged pores.

@@scarlettereviews and what about w7 magic primer

Same... they are both silicone-based

It doesn't claim to be non-comedogenic. However, it contains cica, which is supposed to help calm the skin, and also tea tree leaf water and oil, which is supposed to be beneficial for treating acne. Hope that helps.

Before then the moisturerizer

Thank you 😊

Glad it helped you 🥰

For a similar range of product, I would go for Clinique's Moisture Surge Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. Same parent company, but I find it works much better for me and I get a lot more product for about the same price as this serum.

I personally find it worth the price. My makeup looks smoother and SOFTER than ever. I have combo skin and it helps both areas. Plus my skin feels more supple in general. Tomorrow they have 40% off on the mac website!

You don't need to rinse this product off. Just follow with your serum and/or moisturiser. 😊
