The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% 30ml

The Ordinary Resveratrol + Ferulic Acid #poshlifereviews (IG Poshlife40) 🧡Purchased this as I read somewhere that this is best combined with Retinol. According to @sephora website, the #resveratrol and #ferulicacid are very powerful anti oxidants. So underrated from the brand but an excellent serum! 🧡This gives a slight oily feel to it, literally I just use 2-3 drops every time. It absorbs pretty well and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. 🧡I did notice some brightening effects esp when combined with my retinol cream. Did not cause any irritation or breakouts. I will try combining this with my Vit C routine next time. 🧡Aside from this, i have repurchased @theordinary Niacinamide and Copper Peptide Buffet.

A must have

Resveratrol can do both, neutralise free radicals & boost antioxidant levels, so your skin can better defend & repair itself. With Ferulic acid forms a secure barrier as well as contributes to the skin's healing process, helping reduce dark spots and uneven pigmentation & helps with breakouts. So it is an amazing anti oxidant concoction f two potent ingredients. I loved it. I used after (next day) of having used an AHA or vit c previous night. It is mild & this bottle lasts long if you use it once or twice a week. A must have & this one by the ordinary is a hit, they've got it right as most of their products. Get it.

A nice addition to my nighttime routine

Full disclosure: I use this in addition to other actives so I can’t say how transformative it is on its own. So, I purchased this because I know resveratrol is a great anti-aging/brightening ingredient and I wanted to include it in my nighttime routine without paying $$$ for it. Caudalie uses it in almost all of their products but it’s so pricey. So I have been using it at night for about two months with my Retin-A (tretinoin) and I must say, I can see a difference. ( fyi- I have been using tretinoin for over a year so I can actually say I saw a difference) It helped to fade dark spots in conjunction with the tretinoin and my face looks smoother. It does feel a little warm upon application as the other reviews have said but it doesn’t burn and it fades quickly. I ... MoreFull disclosure: I use this in addition to other actives so I can’t say how transformative it is on its own.

I would dare to say it may have improved my acne. This product just doesn’t get enough love and it’s so underrated. It works well with almost every active and it soaks into the skin quickly. It may seem oily but it really does absorb. Now I do have dry skin so my skin may just soak this up quicker than someone with oily skin. This product is a lifelong keeper for me and I’m so glad I gave it a try. It’s worth it folks!

BEWARE OF ULTA--may not be the pure product!

I have been using this product for over a year with great results. The last bottle I bought from Ulta has caused HORRIBLE reactions for me, though. I bought a bottle about 6 months ago and I would apply it at night--as usual--under my moisturizer. I woke up the next morning with swollen, puffy eyes and irritated red skin on my upper cheekbones/under eye area. It took like a full week for the skin to properly heal.I was trying to figure out if I was doing something wrong--like mixing the wrong anti-aging acids--so I would eliminate products one by one, but I'd still get the same reaction. I went weeks between trials. But I just tried this again on its own as a solo product last night, and I woke up to the same eyes swollen-shut and red skin!I'm assuming something ... MoreI have been using this product for over a year with great results.

I'm not sure if it's The Ordinary---I kind of think it's Ulta doing this because in this same shipment, I received a used Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil with the crayon completely missing.

Beautiful Antioxidant Support!!!

I will use this product for the rest of my life. I use it every night along with a cocktail of other products and have been using it for years! Ferulic acid is an amazing ingredient to even skin tone and I have definitely seen a difference over time. What drew me to the product initially, though, was the Resveratrol. I had seen many expensive creams in Sephora that contained that ingredient and was enticed by their claims of anti-aging benefits. After learning more about these ingredients and how they can aid in preventing from skin damage caused by free radicals, I knew they would be a must in my skincare routine. I use this with my adapalene gel from another company, TO vitamin C powder, and a very occlusive moisturizer from another brand at night and the results ... MoreI will use this product for the rest of my life.

I am personally obsessed with antioxidant support in my skincare routine and use EUK 134 from TO in the morning. Having both in my routine targeted at creating "perfect" skin and preventing aging (even though I am only 19) has been amazing! I started using this around 16 and have loved it and been consistent with it for years.

Know your skin

First of all I love this. I'm an esthetician but not working due to health issues so I have to buy cheaper skin care. I'm 39 and have been using products for aging skin for over 10 years to prevent wrinkles and lines.This product works as well as some professional ones.I want to address the comments that say it burns. Most of the time when a product burns and it's not a AHA or BHA it's because of dry skin, poor skin barrier or allergic reaction. In my opinion it's not the product's fault if your skin barrier is not as strong as it should be or you have an allergy to it. Almost everyone has an allergy of some kind. I'm allergic to bananas but don't give them a bad review on the grocery store website because I broke out in hives. There's nothing wrong with the ... MoreFirst of all I love this.

I'm allergic to bananas but don't give them a bad review on the grocery store website because I broke out in hives. There's nothing wrong with the product if you have an allergic reaction. It's because you're allergic to it. Many people are not. Plus side is now you know you're allergic to it and to avoid it in the future. Same if it burns. Moisturize with a quality moisturizer and buy a serum to repair your skin barrier. I use 30% glycolic acid on my face twice a month and it barely tingles. It's because my skin is moisturized and my skin barrier in good health. When my skin was very dry, it burned badly. Just a few tips to help with using skincare.

My New Favorite

I've been trying to figure out the perfect anti-aging regimen for my skin so I've been experimenting with lots of The Ordinary products over the past year. I have to say that this is one of my favorites!! My skin is very dry so i'm always looking for products that help moisturize without being too oily. This stuff makes my feel so hydrated and almost velvety. I use morning and night after putting on my other products. My morning routine = Marine Hyaluronics, Lactic Acid 5%, The Buffet...followed by a few drops Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid - which I let sink in for a few minutes then I finish up with Cera Ve cream. Night routine = Tretenoin followed up with a few drops Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid - which I let sink in for a few minutes then I finish up with Cera Ve ... MoreI've been trying to figure out the perfect anti-aging regimen for my skin so I've been experimenting with lots of The Ordinary products over the past year.

Night routine = Tretenoin followed up with a few drops Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid - which I let sink in for a few minutes then I finish up with Cera Ve cream. I've only been using for a few weeks and I feel that my skin texture had improved. My pores look smaller and overall I look more moisturized / dewy. I think it's important to remember that a little bit goes a long way with this product. I could see using too much as being too oily. I only use 3-4 small drops for my face and neck area each time. If you have dry skin I'd definitely recommend giving this a try!

Okay it actually seems to work?!

For reference: My skin type is oily combination, prone to dehydration, dealing with hormonal cystic and nodular acne for ~10 years.I don't really leave reviews but I'm putting one here for this product because I am so taken aback by the fact it has ACTUALLY HAD A VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT.I bought this a while ago on a whim out of curiosity, but didn't give it more than a couple of uses of and on as -although it did seem to 'wake my skin up' - I found the initial oily finish off-putting and having had some unpleasant breakouts from other oil-based The Ordinary products I was kind of wary of having similar breakouts from this.HOWEVER - 2 weeks ago I put it on on the weekend because my skin was looking and feeling dehydrated and generally 'bleh' after some heavy ... MoreFor reference: My skin type is oily combination, prone to dehydration, dealing with hormonal cystic and nodular acne for ~10 years.I don't really leave reviews but I'm putting one here for this product because I am so taken aback by the fact it has ACTUALLY HAD A VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT.I bought this a while ago on a whim out of curiosity, but didn't give it more than a couple of uses of and on as -although it did seem to 'wake my skin up' - I found the initial oily finish off-putting and having had some unpleasant breakouts from other oil-based The Ordinary products I was kind of wary of having similar breakouts from this.HOWEVER - 2 weeks ago I put it on on the weekend because my skin was looking and feeling dehydrated and generally 'bleh' after some heavy cystic break-outs, and kept applying it each day (AM and PM) as the final step in my routine and its really made a noticeable difference - although not in the way I was expecting.Since applying it regularly, my skin has been less oily throughout the day (we're talking maybe blotting once at midday instead of having to blot 3-4 times), and my makeup has stayed in place the whole day (pre-resveratrol my skin has usually shed most of my makeup by mid-morning). The oiliness of the product sinks in after a couple of minutes and my skin just feels hydrated and balanced - like its shifted from 'Oily-Combination' towards 'Normal'.As well as the reduced oil, my skin has generally had more of a lit-from-within glow and translucency that I have never really had before. (Don't get me wrong, my PIH, acne scarring are still present, but I now feel like my skin looks like it does on the models you see used for spot treatment adverts, where they have acne scarring but their skin looks Glowy and Good - anyone who has had cystic acne will know this feels like a Big Deal). I've also noticed a reduction on the amount of redness/ uneven skin tone, and it feels good to come home from work and have my skin looking as fresh as it did when I first did my skincare that morning.I'm still trying to figure out how/ why it is introducing this product in particular that has reduced my oiliness - whether it prevents the other products I apply from oxidising, meaning they're effective for longer (?), or whether the antioxidants just help my skin function better in general, meaning less sebum is needed to try and compensate for moisture loss throughout the day (?).This is quite a long review for a small bottle, but having had a proper dedicated skincare routine for 5 years now, it feels like a pretty big deal to be seeing effects this early on into trying a product I had put in the 'Waste of Money' pile. The only reason I haven't given this product 5 stars is because I haven't used it for a particularly long time)(AM skincare - TO Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, TO 'Buffet' , Cerave Dry skin Moisturiser, Resveratrol + Ferulic Acid mixed with a generic SPF 50 from Boots. )(PM skincare - Nip+Fab AHA toner every other day, TO Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, TO 'Buffet' , Cerave Dry skin Moisturiser, Resveratrol + Ferulic Acid)

Will not go without this in my routine!

Another excellent product from The Ordinary. I absolutely love this. I use it every morning before my moisturizer and SPF. I know there are a lot of reviews saying it smells disgusting etc and I just don't see that. I actually enjoy the scent. It smells like an outdoor fire in the fall. I know that must sound weird to many but I love it. If only I could find a candle that could smell just like it. Anyways I digress, I have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea and it is extremely reactive and I had no issues at all with this. I also saw other reviews that said it doesn't sink in at all and that is not the case for me. You don't need to use an entire dropper. Start out with a couple drops and add from there till you find how many you can use that will sink in the way you ... MoreAnother excellent product from The Ordinary. I absolutely love this.

But even at that point my skin still feels wonderful and I can add moisturizer & SPF on top without any issues. I would definitely recommend. It is definitely a must have for me.

works great for my skin

I have so many contact allergies that I need to special order my toothpaste. no joke, it's so frustrating. TO resveratrol/ferulic is one of the few products I'm able to use and i definitely see improvement in my skin health from using it. i use this and the Argireline along with the natural Moisturizing factors and a cerave skin renewing night cream in the evening. these four products have transformed my skin in less than a month. everyone's skin is different though, and I see some others have had bad reactions to this product, but my sensitive skin loves it. it's brighter, the skin barrier has vastly improved, and my dry and rashy face is now clear and moisturized.if you find that you're having bad reactions, you may want to get a patch test done to see if you ... MoreI have so many contact allergies that I need to special order my toothpaste. no joke, it's so frustrating.
