Hylamide Sub Q Skin Reviews
Come and chat about Sub Q Skin on Instagram and The Ordinary & Deciem Chat Room Facebook Group. I love Sub Q Skin and was shocked by how hydrated my skin felt throughout the day. If you like The Ordinary Buffet but find it a little sticky, I would definitely give this a go.
I used The Ordinary Buffet for about a year and didn’t notice a huge change in my skin, although it did look so much better. For 9 months, I have been using Hylamide Sub Q Skin, and I feel like it’s done so much more to my skin. I will be sticking with the Sub q skin from here on in.
Personally, I prefer Hylamide Sub Q Skin over The Ordinary Buffet. Most people estimate that I’m in my mid-thirties when in fact, I am 50. I attribute a lot of that to this Sub Q Skin.
Sub Q Skin is super hydrating, more than The Ordinary Buffet+Copper. It´s less sticky than a normal Buffet.
Definitely prefer Sub Q Skin over The Ordinary Buffet. Sub Q Skin has a better texture/feeling on the face and saw results immediately vs 1 bottle of Buffet and didn’t really see much change.
I chose Sub Q Skin over The Ordinary Buffet + Copper Peptides. It’s ok, but I’m not that overwhelmed.
Hylamide Sub Q Skin FAQs
These faqs have been answered by Deciem on Social Media.
How does Sub Q compare with Buffet & Copper Peptides? Both are suitable to target signs of ageing. There is no pure direct form of copper peptides in SubQ Skin but a modified new generation form. Much higher amounts of the direct form are available in “Buffet” + Copper Peptides 1%. Hylamide offers different technologies than The Ordinary.
You know the ordinary has a conflict chart but does it cross over with this? We recommend alternating Peptides with Direct Acids, Strong Antioxidants and Pure + Ethylated Ascorbic Acid in different routines.
Is this more powerful than the Ordinary Copper Peptide serum? There is no pure direct form of copper peptides in SubQ Skin but a modified new generation form. Much higher amounts of the direct form of it are available in “Buffet” + Copper Peptides 1%.
I use Retinoid in the PM and Ascorbic Acid AM. Can Sub Q Skin work with these, or does it conflict? SubQ Skin conflicts with pure forms of Vitamin C and Retinoids. You will need to alternate usage.
Can I mix it together with Hylamid Vitamin C serum? SubQ Skin and C25 should be alternated.
Just would like to confirm whether the SubQ Skin may be used alongside Retinoid/Retinol or Antioxidant products? SubQ Skin should not be used alongside either of the mentioned products.
So this should be an early step in the routine, not a later one? Generally, peptides such as SubQ Skin should be applied first, after cleansing.
Would this product conflict with your antioxidant products? e.g. pycnogenol 🙂 We advise alternating use with SubQ Skin and antioxidants.
Can I use Sub Q Skin with The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane? We would recommend using them in alternate routines.
Where would Sub Q go in a routine with Lactic acid and Niacinamide? You may apply SubQ Skin before Niacinamide. We would recommend alternating Sub Q Skin & Lactic Acid.
More FAQs
Can you use The Ordinary L-Ascorbic Acid in the same routine as Hylamide Sub-Q Skin? We suggest alternating between them for the best results.
Can I use Sub Q Skin with NIOD ELAN at night with Sub Q Skin, or would there be a conflict? Peptides should be alternated with pure/direct forms of Vitamin C. It would be best to use these two separately.
I use Buffet and Matryxl. Would I use this instead of or in combination with? SubQ Skin could replace “Buffet” and Matrixyl in your routine.
Is it ok to use Hylamide Sub Q Skin with The Ordinary Argireline Solution? Although it may not be necessary, you may indeed.
Can I use Hylamide Sub Q Skin with Buffet + Copper Peptides? It may not be necessary to include both in your routine – however, the formulas do not conflict with each other.
Which one is stronger? Buffet & Copper or Sub Q Skin? For a stronger effort against signs of age, the SubQ Skin is a great option as it also targets rehydration, along with improving the looks of sagging skin and textural damage.
What is the difference between The Ordinary, Hylamide, NIOD and The Chemistry? The Ordinary offers familiar, effective clinical technologies. It exists to communicate with integrity and bring to market effective, more familiar technologies at honourable prices. NIOD has a single genetic commitment to be at the very edge of science. Using only the very latest technologies, NIOD is focused on pushing the limits of science in skincare. Hylamide brings a mindful approach to skincare with a modest collection of multi-depth, multi-function formulas. Using the very latest in next-generation actives. Finally, The Chemistry Brand is focused on treatments to fight all aspects of hand and body ageing. We hope this helps to clarify.
Is Sub Q Skin less sticky than The Ordinary Buffet? SubQ Skin has a lighter consistency than “Buffet”.
More Faqs
Would it be ok to use Sub Q Skin with The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid + Alpha Arbutin? We would recommend using them in alternate routines!
I want to use Hylamide Subq Skin and The Ordinary Niacinamide with Zinc during my night routine. How can I use them? Which one goes first, and can I use them along with the retinol that I use 3 times a week at night. We’d suggest applying SubQ Skin first, followed by Niacinamide AM and PM. Both formulas can be used alongside retinol if desired.
What order shall I use these products, and can I use them all together, or is it better to leave one out? The Ordinary EUK 134, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Sub Q Skin, Hyaluronic Acid, Sub Q Eyes. You may apply: SubQ Eyes, SubQ Skin, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate and EUK 134.
For firmness/elasticity, which is better? Sub Q Skin or Buffet? SubQ Skin has advanced technologies to target sagging skin, so we’d recommend this formula.
Should I be using Sub Q Skin before or after Hylamide HA? You may wish to apply the Hylamide SubQ Skin first, then the Hylamide Low-Molecular HA Booster.
Would Sub Q Skin be good for dry skin? Yes, SubQ Skin is great for all skin types.
