If you’re starting to feel like your skin is looking more loose on your face, don’t worry – you’re not losing your mind. A loss in skin elasticity happens to everyone as we age, and it can even start earlier than you might think. The body’s natural collagen production starts to dwindle as early as the mid-twenties, and collagen is a key factor in keeping skin tight and firm.
While adding collagen into your beauty regimen can help combat sagging skin, it isn’t the only ingredient that can help. Ingredients including peptides and hyaluronic acid have been known to do the trick, and some even think these work better than collagen. Plus, these ingredients tend to come with a much lower price tag – which is why people love The Ordinary’s Buffet Serum.

Promising Reviews
“I bought this last year because so many people were talking about it and giving it good reviews, and I purchased it. If you are worried about your collagen production and signs of aging or preventing signs of aging, your normal instinct would be to get collagen products. However, collagen is too big a molecule to be absorbed by your skin and any fine lines you may have may fade but it is probably due to the hydration and moisturizing effect of the product. On the other hand, The Buffet has molecules called peptides that are small and WILL be absorbed by your skin and help boost your collagen production. It also has hyaluronic acid and it doesn't feel sticky. I find it to work well with other activities in my skin care routine and it is not irritating at all for me. For other people it may be different though and definitely look it up if it can be used with any actives in your skin care regimen.” - Alondramtg
“Used for two weeks before writing a review. I noticed effects after the first use. I have sensitive skin and have broken out in the past when trying a new serum. This serum cleared up any breakouts I originally had and soothes my skin. I can even say it’s helped minimize the appearance of my forehead wrinkles. Amazing product!” - HonestReviewer8
“this is literally my favorite Hyaluronic treatment I've ever tried. I use a small amount in the morning before moisturizer/spf and more at night after Retinol and it's sooo hydrating and makes my skin look bouncy and fresh. It can get a little tacky so during the day I make sure to apply it and let my face absorb it for 15-20 minutes before doing anything else and I have no issues. My skin has never needed makeup less in my life though from using Ordinary products.” - awells4
