Reply To: Best skincare routine?

I’m interested in The Ordinary stuff – how on earth do you choose which products to use?

I did a lot of research- lots of the products they have are active ingredients in many other (expensive and non-expensive) products, for example I use the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and Salicylic Acid 2% solution which are both common ingredients for acne fighting lotions/creams.

Research which ingredients will help your concerns and go from there

They also have a really good regime guide which tells you what products can and can’t be used together, and when to apply them (AM/PM & before/after other creams/oils).
