The Ordinary vs NIOD: How to Mix & Match Products to Suit Your Budget
You don’t need to use an all-NIOD or all-The Ordinary routine. Many products work beautifully together, allowing you to spend more on the products that make the biggest difference while saving money on the basics.
The Ordinary vs NIOD: How to Mix & Match Products to Suit Your Budget
Find the equivalent products from each brand. Don´t feel you have to buy everything from one brand; you can mix and match The Ordinary with NIOD and any other brands you wish.
Some people love to spend money on cleansers, while others feel they´d rather spend money on their serums and moisturizers. Buy whatever you want. Just remember there are only so many days in the week, and you only have one face. NIOD products have a period of 6 months after opening. The Ordinary ranges from 3 months to 12.
My Personal Experience
After years of Deciem Chat Room helping people build routines, one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t need an expensive routine from start to finish. I often recommend investing in one or two NIOD products while using The Ordinary for the rest of your routine. It gives you the best of both worlds without breaking the bank.
About The Ordinary & NIOD
The Ordinary has over 60 products and NIOD has around 23 products. The names are simply the ingredient name that allow us to decide precisely what we put on our skin to target our skin concerns. If you find it all confusing, take the new skincare quiz and create your own Personalised Skincare Routine.
The Ordinary is an evolving collection of treatments offering familiar, effective clinical technologies positioned to raise pricing and communication integrity in skincare. The brand was created to celebrate integrity in its most humble and true form. The Ordinary is born to disallow commodities to be disguised as ingenuity. The Ordinary is “Clinical formulations with integrity”. – The Ordinary
About NIOD
NIOD stands for Non-Invasive Options in Dermal Science. These words are by Brandon Truaxe, the late founder of NIOD.
“In the business of beauty, perception is more powerful than reality and it is for this reason that brands—especially those in functional beauty—prioritize what they say ahead of what they do. The science of skin health has evolved vastly—truly advanced technologies exist today that are very complex to use and even more complex to explain. Our humility and persistence have allowed us to create NIOD with only a single genetic commitment—to be at the very edge of science without regard to brands, trends, criticisms and words. Commitment means that NIOD will always have a very narrow audience that appreciates a genuine commitment to true quality and innovation—an audience not inspired by marketing or pricing strategies, but instead by truth and accountability.” –Brandon Truaxe, NIOD Founder
