The Ordinary Buffet Copper Peptides 1%

Swathy · January 15, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Available at the price tag of Rs 2800, Ordinary Buffet Copper Peptides is an expensive face serum that comes in a regular dark glass bottle with a dropper. Unscrew and squeeze the dropper to reveal an appealing watery blue serum. Needless to mention I love the color.

Before I start my review, let me clarify that it has been years for me since I followed a proper skin care routine so this is one of the few products I have tried in a long time. I have been using this product in Delhi from October 2022 to January 2023, sometimes intermittently and sometimes regularly. My review is based solely on how my skin did after this long hiatus and when it is not coupled with any other products. I have a combination that varies from oily to dry but since it is peak winter now, my skin is definitely dry.

The Ordinary has been more of a hit-or-miss with me. I have used its Marine Hyaluronics which I like but not really a fan of the Squalene Oil. I have used a couple of other products like salicylic acid face wash but did not talk about them on the blog.

The serum spreads easily and does not drip down. In one go, I usually take an entire dropper full of the product but 5-8 drops should be enough for any skin type. Though the serum is watery enough, it dries off pretty quickly.

The serum alone was enough to keep the skin moisturized in the earlier months of October and November but it needs another layer now. I am currently using one of Kiehl’s moisturizers which I quite like.

Overall, if I have to recommend Ordinary Buffet Copper Peptides, I would say no. It did not do anything for my skin that I would expect from a serum, especially after all the negligence my skin has suffered. This was disappointing especially since Ordinary Buffet comes with quite a lot of rave reviews.

Why switching to an Ayurvedic Hair Oil is a good choice for you?

Thanks to the new age ayurveda and holistic living practices, we are going back to our roots, quite literally. Although ayurveda and sustainable way of living is making a comeback, hair oiling practice was probably the only habit which had never become completely obsolete. How we had evolved from using vegetable oils in the 1970’s to embracing the ubiquitous Parachute coconut oil is a very interesting case study in marketing.

In fact, many of us have stood in the kitchens creating our own concoction of herbal oils with all the goodness available in our kitchens.

With all the pollution (thankfully the exposure has significantly reduced since the start of the pandemic ), nutrition and lifestyle changes, hair care is one of the biggest concerns of the day. To beat them all, we have been reintroduced to the world of ayurvedic hair oils incorporated with the magic of all the herbs, some rare and some not so rare, but all meant to restore your locks to their former glory.

Ultimately, a question arises – Do Hair Oils deliver what all they promise?

This is when Mother Sparsh 99% Pure Water Plant-Based Baby Wipes will come in handy for you.

Did you know a 0-3 months old baby requires an average of 40 wipes per day? Although the number decreases as they grow up, I don’t think the need for wipes completely goes away. The chemicals present in most of the wipes and the harsh fabric have been known to cause skin rashes and allergies. In addition, these wipes have a plastic component, they do not decompose easily.

Mother Sparsh has created their plant-based baby wipes using medical-grade fabric to address this very problem of rashes and allergies caused by using regular wipes. These wipes are 3 times thicker with no added fragrance. They soothe irritation and rashes and have prolonged wetness ensuring they are gentle on the skin. And, they are biodegradable ensuring a minimal impact on the environment.

So, let us check out in what all ways can you use these plant-based baby wipes.
