A skincare ingredient is also included in the legwork to help turn back the clock.
“In addition to retinoid or sunscreen, argireline,” they said.
“As someone who smoked cigarettes for over 20 years, I had a lot of wrinkles forming around my mouth that disappeared after almost a year of using The Ordinary’s Argireline.”
THE Buy beauty products for $9.70 has received hundreds of five-star reviews from satisfied customers.
The Redditor revealed that they apply the brand’s serum two to three times a week.

From their own experience, they explained that the ingredient performed well on sensitive skin.
“I have reactive, sensitive skin and have no problem applying it before a retinoid,” they said.
“It can be irritating at first; Argireline do Ordinário has a warning saying that it may cause a small reaction on initial use, and that is what happened to me.
“The first night I felt a slight itch and my face turned red (which is not unusual for me; my face reacts to everything), but I’ve been fine ever since.”
They added that the serum did not worsen or emphasize existing skin conditions.
“I have very dehydrated skin and I’m prone to eczema, so I’m familiar with the struggle,” they said.
Other skincare enthusiasts agreed that the ingredient made a huge difference.
“Argireline is serious skincare magic,” said one commenter.
“I’ve heard it called Botox in a bottle and I agree 100%. I started at the same time I switched from the regular Ordinary Buffet [serum] I thought of the one with copper peptides and thought it was the copper peptides that were magic,” said another.
“I ran out of Argireline and after about two weeks I noticed I was seeing deeper wrinkles on my forehead.
“Added back to Argireline and just a few days later, my forehead wrinkles were getting plumper. It’s an amazing thing.”
They added that the serum also hasn’t proven to be a problem for sensitive skin.
“I have very sensitive skin/rosacea and I haven’t had any problems with Argireline, not even in my eyes,” they said.
