I started using products by TO some 4 months ago and as a man of 62 it was my first foray into meaningful and regular use of targeted skincare.Initially I thought my skin looked greasy but a GF said this would change and shortly afterwards it did into a nourished and healthy look without dullness.There are some conflicts between certain products but they are not catastrophic if you mix the wrong products, I believe they just impact on performance rather than causing damage, in my experience.It seems that the best way to buy is direct from DECIEM/TO as delivery is free over £25.00 and costs are lower than I have seen on other sites.I am in no way a perfect specimen, in truth I am far from it, but I have never had so many "you look well" comments as I have ...

Bought this set a few months ago. I’ve tried a million products. Been using their caffeine solution which is amazing for a while now so thought I would give this a go. It’s great! The money is fab. Can’t argue with that. I’ve got really oily skin. Large pores. Everything I put on my skin causes spots so I have to be super careful. I’m 30, a mum. I’m tired a lot! This stuff is fab. Every night (more or less) I’ve been putting it on and sometimes before my makeup in a morning because it just feels so nice on my skin. I use the caffeine solution under my eyes at the end of putting this on. My skin colour has evened out amazingly. My skin feels very hydrated and supple. Feels super clean when you use it and doesn’t bring me out in spots! Win! The first week I may have ... MoreBought this set a few months ago. I’ve tried a million products.

My mum who has very dry skin is also using it now and ordered more because she loves it too! So whatever type of skin, just order it!

This is brilliant value for money. I have been using Buffet for years, and it made a real difference to my skin, fewer lines and greater elasticity. I've now discovered retinol thanks to this set, wow! I love this product! My skin tone is much more even and on the whole looks glowing and healthy. I bumped into someone I hadn't seen for a while and they commented how well I looked. I'll take that!

This bundle contains main Ordinary products that I use in my skincare routine. Every morning I use “Buffet” serum for the hydration and plumping of my skin. “Buffet” is quickly absorbed, provides a non-sticky surface and acts as a primer before my make-up. In the evenings I use Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion that revitalizes my skin and works with pigmentation without irritation. And I cover Retinoid 2% Emulsion with Natural Moisturising Factors + HA that is good budgetary moisturizing cream.

Complete skincare and The Ordinary virgin a few weeks ago, my old routine was a well known brand of cleansing wipe before bed and before make up and that was about it apart from spf.My daughter has been keeping on at me about skincare so I did some research and found The Ordinary.A lot to try and understand about all the different products and ingredients so I opted for this "No brainer" set plus added in the peel masque once a week.Oh holy wow! 2 weeks later and I want to know where has it been all my life. I'm serious and I'm kicking myself for not starting it sooner.My skin feels incredible and can now see the visible effects beginning. I can only describe the feel as like baby skin. Hard to believe I know but the other Ordinary users can back me up here. ...

I'm serious and I'm kicking myself for not starting it sooner.My skin feels incredible and can now see the visible effects beginning. I can only describe the feel as like baby skin. Hard to believe I know but the other Ordinary users can back me up here. I can't stop feeling my face lol.Initially I wasn't sure on the texture of the retinol emulsion as it feels a bit tacky but then I put the moisturiser on after and it went away. I can feel a mild stinging sensation with it too but no redness or irritation so have carried on as instructed at PM. I LOVE the buffet, it feels great when you put it on, really moisturising and then the moisturising factors on top. For a few mins I felt like there was too much sitting on my skin and I HATE feeling greasy but it all absorbs in leaving my skin feeling just the right amount of moisturised. It does feel "different" at first if you've only done basic skincare before but stick with it, honestly you'll thank yourself.As I said my skin texture is incredible, my make-up goes on after like a dream and I'm a LOT less oily than I was. My fine lines are reducing, skin feels firm and plumped. I sound like the adverts don't I but there's no other way to put it.I can't wait to see how I look after 3-6 months of using these products if things are this good after only 2 weeks.Bottom line is, this stuff works, and I mean REALLY works. I defy anyone to try it and use up the whole set and not be happy with the results. A little goes a long way, just 3 drops of the bottles and a pea sized amount of the moisturiser is all you should need, less is more. So for the price you pay which is fantastic, you get a LOT of use out of it so you can't go wrong.In short, I'm converted. Addicted even! A great way to ease into the products. I'm now going on to order some of the others too to add into my regime. 100% happy.
This set includes cultic products - my favourite "Buffet", Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion and Natural Moisturising Factors. "Buffet" and Natural Moisturising Factors are my everyday products - I use them every morning and evening and they make me happy with plumped, smoother skin. Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion I will leave for the autumn. I like these products for the visible effect and the good price.
I was skeptical at first, researching product ingredients and watching hundreds of YouTube reviews on how this product line worked for different skin types seeing as finding reviews with dry sensitive skin is difficult. The thought of having to spend hundreds of dollars for a product that might not work has always pushed me away from any kind of serum skin care. But I've found that this set along with the caffeine serum and the plant squalane works just fine (alternating between the buffet and retinoid every other day). I use a light scrub once or twice a week, applying the caffeine serum, buffet/ retinoid, plant squalane, and then CeraVe PM lotion before I go to bed. I've also found the moisturizer is more effective in the morning combo'd with a mineral sunscreen ...

I've also found the moisturizer is more effective in the morning combo'd with a mineral sunscreen on the mornings after I used the retinoid. Otherwise I use CeraVe Am lotion on the mornings after using the buffet. So far in the last 6 months, I've noticed my under eye circles vanish and fine lines smooth out. The rough patchy areas (forehead, cheeks, and chin) are gone. I'll even use 1-2 drops of the plant squalane to prep my face before make up. I'm a minimalist when it comes to make up because I have two types of monolids and it can be hard to even out eyeshadow. So skin care, brows, and lips are my usual focus, but all of that can be destroyed by rough, flakey skin. I live in a continental climate where winters can be long and harsh, on the coldest weeks I'll switch it up and use the rose hip seed oil at night and the plant squalane in the morning before moisturizing. Before this, I hadn't really used serums so for the price it's a great intro to the skincare game.
I've tried so many skincare products with big claims but none of them have delivered such great results in just a week. This trio of products has completely transformed the texture of my skin, leaving it feeling smooth and soft. It has also hugely shrunk my pores, which I've had issues with for years, while also stopping breakouts completely.I have previously stayed clear of serums as they can be too heavy for my combination skin but Buffet is amazing. It's nice and light, absorbs well and isn't sticky. A little goes a long way too.The Retinoid has a slight sticky feeling, but as it's only used at night, it doesn't really matter. This takes a little longer to see results from but I'm excited to see how I get on with it after a few months.At first I thought the ...

You only need a really small amount and it absorbs nicely, leaving your skin looking matt and providing a great base for makeup.This is definitely going to be a repeat purchase for me.
This was definitely value for money in the sales. I used The Buffet years ago and it did a good job on my skin. This time around it's good but I would not say I am blown away. Same goes for the moisturiser. It is a perfectly fine basic product and I will not complain for the price. The retinol product I have yet to try. For what it's worth, the box arrived quite squished but it has not affected the products.
