I use this once to twice a week. It does feel sticky and tacky at first but you just have to give it a few seconds to absorb. My skin feels hydrated and nourished after I apply it on. 2-3 drops suffices. It’s perfect for winter time if you suffer from extreme dry skin.

I am in my late teens/early 20's with dry, tanned tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with normal texture.
I do like the ordinary products alot, they're great value for money and offer a wide range of products. This one just isnt my favourite at all, it leaves a very sticky residue on the skin and I haven't seen any visible difference in my skin after using for over a month.

I have definitely noticed a difference with my frown lines since I started using Buffet, I love it!

I am in my mid 30's with combination, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is medium brown, normal with fine texture.
After cleansing, this is the first serum in my new regimen thanks to the guys at The Ordinary I apply three drops to the palms then spread between both palms before gently patting the product around my face, neck and décolleté. Once I have done this I massage the product in, paying particular attention to the areas I am concerned with e.g. the lines around my mouth and orbit bone. It doesn’t leave a residue. My skin does not feel dry or sticky as some serums I have used in the past have left my skin. The décolleté and neck area which I have neglected until now are smoother and brighter. I will be repurchasing this product as I love the way my skin looks when I use it and my hubby gives me compliments which is rare.

I am in my late 40's/early 50's with sensitive, fair tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is grey, normal with coarse texture.
Packed full of healthy ingredients with no unnecessary frills makes this a cheaper alternative to tiger serums. Nearly finished the bottle and have noticed my skin feeling better and lines less defined. Spots are still a problem for me though. Interesting what the previous reviewer said about facial hair - mine has been growing recently so maybe it is due to the serum after all! Unsure what to do now or whether to try a different serum from them.

Loved this serum. Made my skin look lovely. However after a month of using it I've started to notice that my 'peach fuzz' on my face is growing, which is down to the castor oil in the serum. Unsure whether to carry on with it or not.

My previous serum to this was 5x as expensive and whilst I loved it I wanted to try something more friendly on my purse, this is the one! I’m seeing the same results on my skin - it’s clear, soft and plump. I use in the morning and evening following cleansing and before my oil and moisturiser and I’m loving what this is doing for my skin and my wallet!

I love the ordinary... it's anything but... this product is amazing. I have been using this in conjunction with hylaronic acid, retionoid and rosehip oil and I can tell you that this product has made a vast improvement to my skin. It's more even, glowy and my skin feels incredibly soft. 1-2 drops is enough for my face. I love the fact is vegan friendly and all their products are backed by science. Have a look in the deciem website and it gives you a whole routine to follow.

I've been using this for only a week in conjunction with lactic acid and squalane by the ordinary and I'm already noticing a huge difference.
Lines are softening (I'm mid 30s) and skin is so much clearer - for the first time ever I could leave the house foundation free!
Budget price but return is premium. Try it!
