The Ordinary Skin Care : Free shipping to Malaysia

I found out about The Ordinary from a famous makeup artist and YouTuber, Wayne Goss. It catches my attention right away, I love how the company practices transparency with their customers and not bullshitting (sorry for saying this, but I hate skin care companies who exaggerated and promises stuffs to their customers and the end results are the opposite as what they ‘promised’).

I  was just browsing random websites and found asos. Later I found out they actually sell The Ordinary skin care products. I splurged my money on Hermo (during their Anniversary Sale) and Zalora (for raya clothing). So I don’t have any more allowance to buy something else. That’s a life of a student. But I have to be grateful as not everyone can afford to buy a skin care products for themselves right. Okay, back to the story. Promised to myself, I would use the next month allowance to buy them :).

Nope, not true. That’s not happening. I bought them, yup, huh, these stuffs better works!

What I buy?

                   The total is around RM 118. In my opinion, it is reasonably priced. 

Price

Usually, serums cost more than RM80 per bottle, the cheapest I ever bought for 30 ml is around RM 90 (Andalou Naturals Enlighten Serum, Tumeric+Vit C). So, these are considered quite cheap.

The websites (These websites offered free international shipping, there are others, but these offered the same price as the company’s website ex: Victoriahealth.com)

2. htmlhttps://row.adorebeauty.com/the-ordinary.
3. https://www.beautybay.com/l/theordinary/  (Free for orders above $30)

Note: I saw in Instagram that some people sell products from this line, but I feel that it is cheaper to buy directly from these online stores. But let me know if there is a cheaper option though! 🙂

Shipping

What a surprise! I received the item from Pos Laju, a week after the date of purchase. In my opinion, it is quite fast. Anyway, shipping to Malaysia is free! Yes! However, take note shipping is free if you purchase over a certain amount, in my case the total amount has to be over £20.

Promo code

I tried to find a promo code to use for asos but couldn’t find any. As for  zestbeauty, there’s  also no promo code, one day I put items in my cart, and didn’t check out, a few days later they sent me 5% promo code, then 10%. Wuuu don’t try to seduce me!

The package

 

The items are well packaged, there is a slight dent on the box, but the items are fine.

p/s: I already bought my second purchase for other products from this line through asos 🙂

REVIEW (My honest review after using The Ordinary over 6 months)

Update 

13 Jan 2019:  Hermo is currently selling products from this brand. You can find it here-> https://www.hermo.my/brand/765-theordinary/?ucf=search

If you don’t mind paying more then you can purchase the products in Hermo. But if you want cheaper option and don’t mind waiting (like me, ehem), then you can find any online shopping websites from overseas that offer international shipping.

14 Jan 2019: You can find The Ordinary products literally everywhere nowadays. Shopee, Lazada, Instagram etc

25 March 2019: Upon checking on the website, ASOS no longer shipped The Ordinary products to Malaysia. Sorry I didn’t realize because I haven’t bought any The Ordinary products from ASOS for quite some time.

“This product does not ship to Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Indonesia, Iceland, New Zealand, Singapore, Turkey, Malaysia and Ukraine”
