Theres a new brand called the ordinary. By the same company -Abnormal beauty company. (hyaliminde )
So this range is super cheap - less that $12 for vitamin c, vitamin b and retinol serums. It looks amazing and will be coming to Australia next year.
The products like i said look brilliant and are soooo affordable. Check it out here.

Rosehip + Collagen Gummies
The plastic tub contains 40 gummies which is enough for a 20 days supply, as you need to consume two per day.
The gummies have no added sugar, just the naturally occurring sugars.
Instant Coffee with a twist
I am super grateful having being apart of 2021's Glosscars trial, one of the products trialled was the Eimele coffee sachets.

Someone has said on Instagram that release date in Priceline is April. No corroborating confirmation though. I'll report if I hear anything more.
The ordinary released three new products- * salcyclic acid 2% serum * glycolic acid tonning lotion 7% * peel lotion- 25% A-ha & 2% bha.
Exciting times.
I saw that, and also their new makeup line - that is looking interesting!
I ordered the foundation from their UK site, it took about 3 months for me to get it as it was out of stock world wide, I received it a few weeks back....it's fantastic, full coverage, cute packaging, long lasting, my favourite foundation is the Marc Jacobs one but since having this I've used it nearly every day. I can't wait for other stores to start stocking as I'd love to try more shades.
How's the eye cream going for everyone who's trying it? Love to hear feedback.
did you mean the serum? I have been using since it arrived and I have a few thoughts. It really needs to be decanted when you get it - I have 30ml airless bottles at home but kept forgetting to transfer it. After less than one week a white crystal began to form on the rim of the bottle. Don't think it should be exposed to air? It's in an airless pump now.
As for the formula you only need one small drop to do both eyes - it is going to take forever to use! When I apply it I do feel a distinct warmth to the area, not quite a tingling but you know you have put something there. As Yohanna mentioned about does the caffeine make your eyes drier and for me at least it hasn't had that effect. But I do use a good eye cream after it so I don't know. I think it is helping a little in the area, bringing circulation at least and my dark circles aren't so bad (although honestly they come and go in random cycles - maybe this is just one of my random down times?).
I really think it would make an ideal cellulite treatment, add some to the skin after a shower or something (which is what I did when I accidentally squeezed the pipette and a whole stack came out). I might use it in both areas! Cheap really for an cellulite product!
The Chemistry Brand has now launched on TVSN....

I'm still working my way through the Hylamide range first.
While I like the SubQ Anti-Age, I'm not seeing any result with the SubQ Eyes. Also not really liking the C25 Vit C - it's actually caused pilling with a few of my other products. I think someone suggested somewhere (not on this forum) to couple it with Cosrx Snail Essence. I'm wondering if I might have made that up in my head so I'll have to look for the source of that again, but what are your thoughts about the two?
NIOD, Hylamide and The Ordinary are definitely available on Myer's website now.
Wow! Thanks for letting us know!
Just checked, they still have 10% off also for beauty/skincare. Shame I am overloaded, so must refrain myself from getting The Ordinary. Have NIOD and Hylamide still waiting to be used. Oh, skincare addiction is getting to me! Only Deciem product I have oppened and tried so far is Hylamide vit C (loved it for 2 weeks!). But on the trial now, so had to stop using it. Waaaah....
I just placed another order with Victoria Health, and again they shipped it within hours! This time I got:
with the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution by The Ordinary coming in a separate shipment as they only taking pre-orders for that
Quick follow up I am not seeing a huge difference with the Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG eye serum, but it is for people primarily with puffy eyes (I don't have this) but I do feel a warmth when I apply it and still haven't got dark circles, so maybe it is working for that.
The Lactic Acid 5% + HA I love it even though it smells like rotting vegetables, I find it mild I think I could even go to the 10% but my skin is well used to acids. The Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is so weird, it sucks every bit of moisture out of your skin and makes it look like you have plastic skin - hard to explain. If you had oily skin it would make the most amazing primer. I have to put a sleeping pack over it to make my skin look real again - it doesn't dry your skin out, just makes it look like plastic - hope that makes sense?!
The Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA cream I honestly see no difference in using it, it doesn't make my skin hold moisture any better than my regular galactomyces and amino acid with ceramide cream so I wouldn't buy it again. The High-Spreadability Fluid Primer is amazing though, it really keeps my makeup stable in my eye area (which can crease when I smile/laugh) it has comparable results to Benefit's Porefessional in blurring and stablilizing my makeup in the eye area.
Ooh, I really want that primer. The effect of the Azelaic Acid Suspension sounds interesting!
The primer is a definite winner, especially for the price!
I just bought a couple of The Ordinary products over the weekend in Myer. Was stoked they had it and couldn't decide what I wanted. Opted for Vitamin C 23% and Lactic Acid 10%. Also ordered HA serum and Niacinamide serum plus that Natural Factors moisturiser. We will see how it goes. Will get BHA as soon as it gets here in Oz or when I go to Europe soon, the shipping will be cheaper. :)
I hope you enjoy the products, Anita. Please let us know what you think of them :)
Myer currently have 25% off Hylamide, The Chemistry and Hif products.
I'm enjoying reading everyone's experiences with the Deciem ranges. I've been using the Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age and Hylamide Booster Low Molecular HA products along with The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors and I'm really liking them - I think they've made a difference to the hydration of my skin. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to try out the range. Even just the Hylamide SubQ would be a great introduction, and can fit easily into an existing routine. I love how light the Hylamide products are and how quickly they absorb into my skin.
I could probably get away without using The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors, but I'm just used to the feeling of reassurance a cream moisturiser gives me. And for the price, why not!
I've also tried The Ordinary's Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%. I don't love it, but I'm persevering. Apparently it is their most potent and readily absorbed vitamin c product which is why I want it to work! It is a bit tingly, but nothing too bad. It is cream-based but I find the texture a little gritty. Once I'm finished it I will replace it with Hylamide's Booster C25 and see how that goes.
I'm loving The Ordinary's High Spreadability Fluid Primer. It's great for dry skin and makes my skin look radiant and my makeup glides on. A bargain for the price.
From the Niod range, I have the Copper Amino Isolate Serum 1%, which I am yet to open. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm kind of scared to use it because you need to mix 2 components together. It makes no sense, but maybe I think I'll do something wrong! I'm going to make myself start using it next week, but at least I've been able to test how the other products work without it.
I am using the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum and the Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex. I can understand your concern with the copper serum, Chicklet, but it's super easy, you can't go wrong! I haven't really been using them long enough to form an opinion, but I am happy that adding the 2 steps has been easy because they absorb so quickly.
Thank you IndieAna, with your encouragement, I mixed it up today and have started using it. I must say the blue colour took me by surprise!
It's pretty cool, isn't it! :)
I ordered and received from Adore Beauty today some of The Ordinary products. I used the online chat they have and the person that helped me to pick the products was very knowledgeable and spoke very highly of The Ordinary.
I ordered 2 products for my teenage daughter which are the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and the Niacinamide 10% plus zinc 1%
For myself the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA and the Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F. I have dry skin, small amount of wrinkles and red cheeks.
We are looking forward to using these and hopefully seeing some great results.
If Anyone is interested, Paula's choice have added their reviews of the ordinary to beautypedia. Most got 3-4 stars.

Interesting reads
Without reading yet I'm sure it's critical with a big push for her own products at the end? The Ordinary line would be quite a threat to her I would think.
The interesting thing is they seem to be marked down because they don't contain extra antioxidants and repairing ingredients but I think it's missing the point.
Ok I have read and you are right, marking down because they are "one note" products and that "skin needs more" is totally missing the point. No one just puts one serum on and that's it, we layer with moisturisers!
Also the review of the azaelic acid cream was strange, I don't think they actually use the products just "ingredient review" them because if they used it they would comment on its strange effect of mattifying the skin - check YouTube reviews they say same thing.
Must admit I had a laugh when they said acids may irritate your skin, er, derp! If it didn't cause my skin to change and peel then it would be a waste of money!
I find a lot of her reviews are just "ingredient reviews" rather than the effect, but it could also be because the effect on skin is a subjective assessment.
