The Ordinary Skincare Quiz, Part 2

The original Ordinary skincare quiz has been such a hit on Science and Skincare that I knew I had to make another.

But this time it’s bigger and therefore better. I’ve added the entire catalogue of The Ordinary products to this quiz’s database so I can give you better recommendations.

I’ve also refined the formula which helps decide which product is for you. This means, this quiz is way better at providing you with accurate recommendations based on what you need and which ingredients treat those needs!

Knowing my audience, means knowing I have to cut to the chase. So, without further ado here is the NEW and improved Ordinary skincare quiz!

The Ordinary Skincare Quiz

Of course, it goes without saying, that is a very simplistic quiz. It’s hard to know exactly what your skin needs without seeing it but this quiz is designed to push you in the right direction.

Before you take this quiz (or retake it) I highly recommend you take a second to look at your skin, the way it feels and what is your major skin concern.

If you’re not too sure, that’s OK, because there is a question which should help you determine that more.

The Ordinary is a complex brand if you’re really not too sure what you’re looking for and your needs change throughout the year. Hence, please feel free to bookmark this page and retake it as many times as you need.

How well regulated is the #botox industry in the Uk? Dr Cormac Convery shares his view at the link in my bio. #SKKN's formulations were actually much better than I thought! #scienceandskincare #realscience #realsimple #skincare #skincareadvice #pollution Hello everyone! It's been awhile but for the first time in a long time I really wanted to make a post. So, I've stared a new serious. The #ingredient analyser series. It's a super easy and enjoyable (for me) to share some top line notes on different products. First up is @byoma Brightening Serum. The shady practises of the beauty industry won’t change unless regulation - the law - changes. I don’t find it useful to demonise brands for what they believe or how they feel. I really wanted to write this article because I find it shocking that so many people fake their entire appearances/existence’s and it’s now normal? They’re are many articles that talk about filters but none that discuss the reasons we are so drawn to competing with each other and how we can build or self esteem. Not be being narcissistic or having a bubble bath, by genuinely dealing with our mental health. Read the article following the link in my bio. Thank you to @popsugar for publishing and @drtijionesho for his comments! Late night PSA because I felt like i needed to share some advice I don't think works. Today is a very special post, I teamed up with @allmatters to talk about #periodpoverty This has become and unexpected passion project of mine. Ever since I created my first period post I have started to understand just how little is known about it. I have followers from many different countries, who need this information. This is a beginning so please share and discuss! Is this a controversial statement? Well, it depends on who you ask. There is obviously a debate of science vs clean beauty in this industry and I wanted to hear the other side of the argument. So, I enlisted the help of @brookharveytaylor . She founded and runs @pacificabeauty and has done for 25 years. If anyone has a clear view on clean beauty, where it comes from and where it could go, it’s her. This is just an excerpt, the full interview can be read at the link in my bio. I am interested though, do you agree? Can we find a middle ground?
