I ordered a few of The Ordinary’s products for the first time a few years ago. I’ve been seeing the brand all over social media for the past few years. And almost everyone I know has purchased at least one of their products, either the Buffet or their Caffeine Solution. I decided to try one of the not-so-popular ones – The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5%. Something that I liked about this brand is the simple packaging and affordable prices. The Ordinary…
