  1. @sincerelymissash reviewing The Ordinary Amino Acids + B5 at 02:08 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is so underrated. It really is an amazing hydrating serum that works for all skin types2:03
    • You can have the oiliest skin ever and you can also have the most parched, dry, flaky skin. This is truly going to work for both2:08
    • It's so lightweight. It's never sticky or tacky on the skin2:24
    • When you put this on your skin, it feels like you didn't even really put anything on your skin2:26
    • It just gives more of that skin repair and I use it every day twice a day2:34
    • It is very lightweight and it pairs up with everything2:59
    • Pair this up with your active ingredients to keep your skin hydrated, to help prevent further irritation and dryness3:03
    • You are going to absolutely love this. I guarantee it3:15
    • It's very thin like water and it spreads nice and it absorbs really quickly into the skin as well3:41
    • This is hands down one of the best products from The Ordinary. I'm telling you, it is4:36
    • Out of all five, the amino acids is my most used and the one that I love the absolute most13:21
    • If the amino acids ever discontinued, especially, I will be an absolute wreck
  2. @sincerelymissash reviewing The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA at 05:11 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This was a really effective serum for brightening the skin5:06
    • Great if you have that uneven skin tone, post-acne marks, dark spots5:11
    • Alpha arbutin is a tyrosinase inhibitor, so it helps prevent melanin formation5:16
    • It is very comparable and similar to hydroquinone, but of course, alpha arbutin is more gentle and you can use this long-term without having to worry about removing it from your routine5:32
    • Even if you just have dull-looking skin, alpha arbutin can also help to brighten the skin as well6:00
  3. @sincerelymissash reviewing The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA at 06:42 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Mandelic acid in general is very underrated
    • It does help to exfoliate, but it's way more gentle and it has a larger molecule, so it takes longer to penetrate the skin before it starts exfoliating6:34
    • It really is great for those that have sensitive skin, that are beginners to alpha hydroxy acids6:42
    • I would rather use something that is more gentle and use it every day than using maybe one product once a week because it's just too strong and my skin just gets irritated7:07
    • Mandelic acid is a great ingredient for skin texture, improving skin brightness, giving that softer, smoother look to the skin7:20
    • I love that it has hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin. It's a very gentle hydrating formulation that is super lightweight8:17
  4. @sincerelymissash reviewing The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% at 09:36 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Pycnogenol does a really good job to brighten a dull complexion. It's best for skin radiance9:17
    • It really helps to protect the skin as well from pollution9:36
    • Antioxidants pair up really well with other types of antioxidants8:57
    • The best way to use this is to mix a couple of drops in with your moisturizer9:42
    • This is so good
  5. @sincerelymissash reviewing The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% at 12:01 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I have yet to find a formulation like this on the market that offers a 3% for each ingredient. This is very powerful and one of the most effective products from The Ordinary10:44
    • This is more for anti-aging than anything, in my opinion. Yes, it's going to protect your skin and brighten, but it's more for softening and preventing fine lines and wrinkles12:01
    • It does a very good job when you pair it up with Tretinoin and, of course, vitamin C12:12
    • It could cause dryness. When I first started using this, I did experience quite a bit of dryness, but I was using it every day when I first started. So, then I had to drop it back and I had to use it a couple of days a week and then build a tolerance to it12:20
    • This is really powerful, super effective12:53
