What should I buy from NIOD?
What products should I buy from NIOD? It´s hard to tell you which products you should buy because we all have different skin types and concerns. It also depends on what sort of routine you want. Do you want a quick, simple routine, or do you like to use numerous products? It also depends on your budget. I can only give you my personal experience and tips when buying NIOD.
If you have no major skin concerns and want a very simple NIOD routine, I would buy the following;
- LVCE (Cleanser)
- CAIS3 (Copper Peptide)
- SDSM2 (Hydrating Mist/Antioxidant)
- MMHC2 (Hyaluronic)
- FM (Flavanone Mud Mask)
- PF8% (tinted photography foundation)
Some NIOD tips:
- Don´t buy too many products.
- Always check conflicts.
- The period after opening is 6 months.
- Buy smaller sizes the first time.
- You can often find NIOD discounts at other stockists.
- Use the information in the Facebook Group, on Instagram and the reviews on the Deciem website to know why people like a product and what they dislike about it. The worst thing is buying something based on just one person´s amazing review.
Copper Peptides
If you´ve never tried Copper Peptides before, I would suggest starting with The Ordinary Buffet + Copper. If you wish to try something from NIOD, try the new CAIS 3. CAIL is very expensive and I would personally see how your skin is with Copper Peptides on less expensive product. CAIL 1% is great because it´s an all-in-one product for a really simple routine. It is meant to be used alone, so you don´t need to use any other products.
MMHC2 The Hyaluronic
If you have only tried The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid, I suggest giving this a try. It´s a very different texture to The Ordinary HA. The Ordinary HA is amazing value, about 10 times cheaper than NIOD, but unless you try another HA, you won´t see how different they can be. For me, MMHC2 glides on beautifully and plumps immediately, but some people dislike the smell.
NIOD Masks
When it comes to the masks, just buy one to start, and I would suggest buying the smaller sizes where possible. I personally love FM, but it´s not for everyone. It can sting a little to start, but I love that feeling, and afterwards, my skin feels like it´s had a deep clean. NIOD SS is a cleanser, and it can also be used as a mask once a week.

Photography Fluid 8%
I personally prefer this over the 12% because it is tinted. Let´s put it one way. Since I´ve been using this, I can´t stand the feeling of foundation. PF8% just feels like skincare with a glow but it can look quite metalic on some skin tones. See PF8% on the Deciem Chat Room Instagram Grid or here.
NIOD RP Re: Pigment
If you´re thinking about buying this for Melasma, I would advise you to go and see a dermatologist (if possible) and ask for a prescription. Many people have seen improvements with this, but you need to use it consistently and will need a couple of bottles.
NIOD LVCE Low Viscosity Cleaning Ester
I love LVCE, but once again, not everyone likes this. It removes make-up in a flash and leaves skin feeling really hydrated. It can be used with water or on a cotton pad, and whilst it is expensive, it will last a long time. Read more.
NIOD LBLC Lip Bio Lipid Concentrate
If you have extremely dry lips, constantly trying to hydrate them and have tried many different products, then I highly recommend giving this a go. My lips were so incredibly dry, they felt they would split and bleed every morning when waking up. I´ve been using this for nearly a month now and the difference in how they look and feel is amazing and I no longer have to use balms during the day. Just this morning and evening. The overall colour has improved too. You must only use this on your lips and not on your skin, or it will go red. If you are very sensitive, please make sure you do a patch test. Read more.
NIOD FECC Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate
I love the feeling of this around the eyes. I can´t really see a difference yet, but I can feel a huge difference particularly when I use a corrector or concealer, it lays so much better on my skin. Read more.
NIOD S30 Survival 30
This is the only one I have used so far from the Survival Range, and I love it. I have olive skin, and this feels and looks great on my skin, with no white cast. S0 & S30 are the most loved out of the range.
NIOD SDSM Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist
I really love this product and have used it so much in the summer months throughout the day. It´s excellent for quick hydration and freshening up. You can also use this on your body. It´s 240ml and will last you ages. Well worth trying. Read more.
