After years of very sparse launches, we got a bounty this year with 7 new formulas. Here's my review of them all!
Apologies on some of the rough sounding audio. Tried my best to get rid of the worst.
Reminder it's Slowvember – 23% savings on everything from The Ordinary + NIOD the entire month of November except Black Friday.
Also, probably my favourite serum of all time, CAIS 3 aswell as CAIL are both 50% off!

I love The Ordinary and look forward to trying these products.
I like the multi peptide eye serum but the dropper dispenses so much product I run through the product pretty quickly. I was surprised that the aloe/nag formula really made my skin peel.
Thanks for continues updates I’d rather trade the Crypto market as its more profitable. I make an average of $34,020 per week even though I barely trade myself
How
I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it.
You actually need an expert trader assigned by a registered brokerage company to help you out. I currently trade with Mrs Amelia Leo. She is the best when it comes to high profits in the market!
Wow I know her and I have also been trading with her
prices of ordinary have increased pretty much lately
So has everything else on the market
They have 23% off all november.
Not good molecules! @isobel64
I was waiting for that so cute smile of yours! ❤ Thanks for the reviews, Renee. Always appreciated!

I appreciate you so much you have no idea, thank you!!!
I second that!
It’s been a while since I’ve tried TO new releases but this video made me even more excited for my latest order to arrive! Ordered last week the glycolipid cream cleanser, NMF + beta glucan moisturizer and aloe + NAG serum, along with a restock of my NIOD holy grails, Survival 0 and MG.
I hope you love the cleanser. It smells funky to me, but scent is subjective, so I hope it smells better to you!
I love your reviews and this is just in time 🤗🤗🤗 Thank you!
Thank for another great video on this brand, which is a staple for me. Are there enough new NIOD products for a review video? I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to order during the November sale.
I linked some of my NIOD favs/review videos in the description box, there have been no new launches since and my thoughts haven’t changed except for HV which I now love and Re:Pigment which I’ve been using more!
Great timing with slowvember, I have been watching your NIOD, and the ordinary videos to choose what to order. As always thank you for the great content quality ❤
Thank you so much!!
Thank-you for a thorough review! Also wondering where your striped top is from? Thank-you
Thank you! It’s from Vince
Thank you Renee. Are the Pyunkang Yul Moisture Ampoule and The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors with Beta Glucan similar in any ways other than visual?
This is such a great question! The PKY moisture ampoule feels more hydrating and possibly lighter weight whereas The NMF + BG feels more moisturizing. But truly are similar, especially when it comes in the tub! I actually got the idea of using it as a sleeping mask because of the PKY. But the PKY leaves a glass skin finish and the Ordinary absorbs and dries down!
@Gothamista Now I need both 🥰 I’m excited to try NMF +BG moisturiser as I love a gel that absorbs and dries down
I just picked up the Retinol Serum and Collagen Peptides serum during the Sephora Sale. I was looking for Granactive Retinoid but local Sephora didn’t have the stock or it wasn’t available on the floor. Thankfully Retinol serum contains squalene which is probably a vegan source. Both products contain tripeptides but it’s at the end of the ingredient list. I hope they can come out with inexpensive version of estée lauder serum. I have the lash and brow serum mainly for my brows but I see some improvement with my eyebrows and they tend to curl too.
I wish they eye serum came in an airless pump packaging.. Performs exceptionally well around my super sensitive eyes❤
While looking for any skincare, be it affordable or luxury, let us do some resesrch and make sure that our money is not going to any company that funds or supports oppression, illegal occupation and genocide in any part of the world. We are the one who has control over where we want to spend our hard earned money.
Just like we look out for brands that are free of cruelty against amimals, let us also avoid brands that are cruel to or support cruelty against humanity.
Absolutely love love love your videos Renee ❤
You have been a godsend to my Aussie sun beaten skincare to reverse all the damage I’ve done…it’s a marathon not a sprint…right? 😉
You are so down to earth with so much informative, non bias product reviews – so easy to watch & learn at the same time. and you are beautiful 😍
we are blessed to have you 🙏💖🤗
I NEED to try that Barrier support
🌸 Just want to let you know that I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS SO MUCH. THANK YOU for your thoughtful and thorough insights. Also a little unrelated, but I just got my order from GEEK & GORGEOUS (A Brand you recently featured and recommended) I absolutely loved the cleansing balm and the jelly cleanser. Just feels wonderful and effortless. Also I got sample gift pack of the Happy Barrier moisturizer, Stress Less soothe & repair serum, and the Liquid Hydration toner. Can’t wait to try these out. The prices are truly accessible. THANK YOU! 💞
I love The Ordinary’s products. Their niacinamide serum, lactic acid 5% and the caffeine serum are holy grails for me! I took advantage of an offer earlier this year, where they gave a full-size glycolipid cream cleanser for free. I guess I used it incorrectly, cause I got a few pimples along my chin and jaw. Now I’ll be sure to use it on dry skin as a first cleanse. Thanks, Renee!!! ❤
Listen, I love that glycolipid cream cleanser but it smells like rotten cilantro to me and my roommate 🥴
I have super dry skin during the winter so I’ll be checking some of these out :D
