Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%

This is by far the most intense product from The Ordinary (and actually all cosmetics in general) that I have had. I use it exclusively in the evening and mostly completely alone (if I combine it, then probably only with hyaluronic acid), because I feel like my face couldn't take it anymore stinging is not the right word, maybe tingling better describes the feeling it leaves on the skin. And I still feel it in the morning, I can't imagine that someone could put it on their face during the day But the effect is great, the skin is nice and supple.

Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml

Even this serum is not enough for my circles But at least it can completely eliminate the swelling. It is pleasant, but you have to be very careful with the dosage, it stings quite a bit in the eye. One drop is enough for both eyes.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 10% + Zinc 1% 60ml

I use it regularly, it's one of the few products that my skin doesn't react to immediately, but I really feel the difference from evening to morning. It removes minor rashes without any problems, and softens red areas after a few days. I use it both locally and on the whole face, depending on the other products in the routine.

Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

I have no experience with using acids, and this toner seemed like a good place to start. So far I have mixed feelings. Immediately after rubbing a little toner on a cotton pad on my face, I can feel it on my skin, and my skin feels strangely "sticky" after it, so it's obviously working somehow. It's not uncomfortable, nor does it sting, but if I use it 3-4 nights in a row, it's extremely drying, despite the subsequent moisturizing care. But I'll give it another chance, I just need to find the right dosage, maybe it's just a matter of experience.

Salicylic Acid 2% Mask

This mask is really great for dry and sensitive skin, but you just need to use it sparingly, no more than 2 times a week. I like the very gently peeling consistency - I always moisten it a little while washing it off and gently massage my skin, then my face feels like a baby's. It's quite a mess, since it's so black and thick I would accept a larger (and different) package, this one runs out quickly, and moreover, it's hard to get all its contents out of such a tube.
