"Hyaluronic acid serum from the ordinary- simple ingredients but the best one needed for dry skin."
"I like using the Ordinary brand!"
"NIOD CAIS and the ordinary argireline"
"Try The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% (don’t apply if you have very irritated skin though, it might sting a bit)."
"I really wanna try the ordinary soothing and support barrier serum but i haven’t got around to it yet"
"If you really must I’d say maybe a simple The Ordinary buffet serum or hyaluronic acid serum."

Estée Lauder
4.0
(4)
