Jerome’s Skin Story.
O: What’s your skin type and main skin concerns?
Jerome: My skin type is oily. My main concerns are reducing the amount of oil my skin produces while ensuring my skin remains hydrated, especially after shaving a few times each week.
O: Tell us about your relationship with skincare over the years.
Jerome: Before my time at The Ordinary, I didn't have a proper routine at all. I've come a long way from washing my face with a bar of soap and thinking that the tight skin feeling was a normal part of the process. Today, I take better care of my skin, especially my face, with proper face wash, anti-aging products, hydrating moisturizers, and a good sunscreen. It's a straightforward routine that works for me.

O: How do you adapt your skincare routine for specific concerns or situations?
Jerome: Since my skincare routine is minimal, it's more about remembering to pack my essentials while travelling, such as sunscreen, a moisturizer, a good face wash, and body lotion.
Jerome’s Top Picks.
O: What’s your favourite formulation at The Ordinary and why?
Jerome: I’m obsessed with the Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner. It's a light exfoliator that has significantly improved my skin's texture. I've also noticed fewer blemishes within a few days of using the toner consistently. I love how it feels on my skin, and the results have been noticeable, which is why I use it regularly.
Tips & Takeaways.
O: What’s a skincare tip you live by?
Jerome: Along with using Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% on my face to reduce my skin's oiliness, I found out that using niacinamide on my neck was an excellent solution for razor bumps.
O: Do you have a clever way you use or combine products from The Ordinary?
Jerome: I use Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum on my back and chest right after I shower and before applying lotion to my body.
O: What has been your biggest skincare a-ha moment since starting at The Ordinary?
Jerome: Discovering the power of direct acids and light exfoliators. They not only help maintain a brighter complexion but also contribute to long-term improvement in skin texture.
