    So in desperation this week I went to Arnotts to buy the niacamilide anti blemish solution. I also got salicylic acid retinol and hylauronic acid (sorry for the spelling mistakes

    I suffer from hormonal acne and in 36 hours the niac/zinc cream has has an amazing effect.

    I've not yet tried anything else as i want to take it slow.

    My question is after the recent turmoil is the company ok? The shelves in Arnotts were fully stocked yesterday

    The Ordinary's founder was very troubled and sadly took his own life.

    Long before that The Ordinary was bought over by Lauder Group and it seems to be going from strength to strength

    Yes the Ordinary products are great - no frills, very effective but quite strong so need to be introduced very slowly one by one particularly with the acids and retinol you bought.

    If you contact The Ordinary Monkeys (as the online customer staff call themselves) through the Deciem website with your skin type and needs and the products you have, they will come back to you with a regime for AM and PM.

    Anyone finding problems getting some of The Ordinary products? The 2% salicylic solution has been out of stock for ages and the webpage says "product being updated". The 30spf mineral suncream just says out of stock. It's a pain. I can't seem to get either of them anywhere.

    The salicylic acid is being reformulated apparently according to the ladies in Arnotts people were having adverse reactions

    The spf was in Arnotts today I though

    I wonder how much of that was down to people using them incorrectly. A girl at work used the lactic acid and didn't bother with SPF after, her face was tomato red after it

    The lady I spoke to in Arnotts said exactly that people were using it wrong

    Not surprising. They've a huge array of acids at such a low price point that I'd say a lot of people were a bit too enthuasiastic

    Where in Arnotts is the Ordinary? I was in there on Sunday and must have looked like a loon doing laps of the makeup dept looking for it.

    Boots have a salicylic acid serum which has been filling the gap for me until they bring back the Ordinary version.
