Beginners guide
As the name suggests, The peptide serum is the “buffet”. This means that this concoction has everything you would typically want in an ideal serum. The ordinary multi-peptide serum is one of their most hyped formulas simply because it caters to the needs of the majority. Continue reading to see what makes it so special.
Multipurpose?
Previously known as Buffet the Multi-Peptide + HA Serum is a multipurpose formula that combines multiple technologies to improve skin smoothness and address numerous signs of ageing at once. It effectively improves the appearance of crow's feet and the elasticity and firmness of the skin by combining four well-researched peptide technologies with skin-friendly amino acids and several hyaluronic acid complexes.
Breakdown of the Ordinary multi-peptide serum
Peptides: These are the basic building blocks of the skin—the proteins and molecules that give it its firm resilient and smooth texture. The protein collagen our bodies progressively lose as we age is encouraged to be produced in greater amounts by peptides.
Matrixyl: Matrixyl is a strong peptide combination created to produce results that last. Effectively repairing skin damage it targets the production of collagen.
Probiotics: Probiotics or good bacteria for the skin eat prebiotics. Prebiotics help to strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture retention by feeding and growing the probiotic population.
Amino acids: Amino acids fortify the skin, preserve ideal moisture levels, increase resiliency and encourage a generally healthy look. Furthermore, they protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals which can result in ageing signs.
Hyaluronic acid: Water is drawn into the skin by hyaluronic acid which acts as a moisture magnet. The ability of each molecule to hold 1000 times its weight in water greatly increases the skin's moisture content.
Application and usage
The ordinary buffet is safe to use at least twice a day. Say perhaps in the morning after you have thoroughly cleansed your skin, you can apply this serum under your moisturiser. Remember that this is a water-based formula hence it is meant to go under any oil-based products. Similarly, once you’ve properly washed your makeup off, cleansed your face and are about to incite your bedtime routine, apply the serum and tap it into your skin.
Tapping all water-based serums on your skin is the way to go. This ensures that the water molecules sink into your skin and prevents product wastage.
The buffet is helpful for all skin types and anyone looking to improve overall skin health. That is particularly beneficial for people who want to address signs of aging skin.
Do not mix with:
It is advised against using The Ordinary Buffet and these ingredients in the same skincare routine as they may reduce the peptides' effectiveness and in certain situations irritate the skin. Vitamin C, Direct acids (e.g. glycolic, lactic, salicylic), Niacinamide, Retinol.
Here’s all the info you need!
Many get confused as the name of the serum was changed fairly recently. “Has the formula changed too?” remains the most asked question. The answer is no, the formula remained the same, and the name was simply changed to highlight the ingredients. This Ordinary buffet piece sits on the high side of the spectrum in comparison to the majority of serums. The reason is its versatile nature. Invest once and for all and say goodbye to all your “mainstream” skincare worries.
Stay young and gate keep your glow! The Buffet is all you need.
