Combine with other products
Hi. I have the following products, how can I incorporate this one but also combine it with the products? That is, which can I use in the same routine and which should not be used in the same routine? Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% (TO) Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (TO) Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (TO) Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (TO) C-Glow Serum (Geek & Gorgeous) (I will always finish with SPF and cream in the day/night)1 product in post Combine with other products469 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHey Anna! I don’t know anything about your skin, so this is just a product/ingredient recommendation, because you have a lot of active products, and it can easily become too much for the skin - make sure you also have gentle nourishing products to balance it out. 🌞 Vitamin C alone in the morning since it’s ascorbic acid plus moisturizer and UV protection. 🌛 Then the rest is in the evening, but all should be gradually introduced, even Azelaic if you start with that, and acids/retinoids should be used on different evenings. Niacinamide can often be combined with acids and retinoids. Swap out glycolic and try Azelaic or alternate, I would say. Plus moisturizer. Take care 🌸

Does it work with other serums?
Hi. I'm new to The Ordinary's products. I just started with this Retinol 0.5% in squalane. I also bought The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Can I combine any of these or should I use retinol without any of the other serums? Best regards1 product in post Does it work with other serums?4901 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 5 monthsHi Anna 😊 In the evening once a week you can use Retinol 0.5%. On the evenings you don't use retinol, you can use the Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide serum. In the morning you can use Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Wishing you a nice day! 🌺
