      Hi Hege ✨ Yes, The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F can be used together with The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (GF 15% Solution) in the same routine – as long as your skin can tolerate it. 🔄 Order in the routine: Since both are oil-based and applied after water-based steps (like toner or serum), you should do it like this: -Cleanse -(Toner or water-based serum – optional) The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane Moisturizer 💡 If your skin is sensitive or you are new to retinoids: use them every other night at first, or use vitamin C in the morning and retinoid in the evening. Wishing you a nice day ahead 🙌

      Hey there💌 The Ordinary GF Solution 15% and Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 20 can be used in the same skincare routine, but with a bit of caution. A-Game 20 contains a high concentration of retinoid (retinal), and it’s generally wise to introduce such active ingredients gradually into the routine – especially alongside other potent products like GF Solution 15%. We recommend using GF Solution 15% in the morning, as it supports skin regeneration and can contribute to a smoother skin tone over time, while A-Game 20 is best suited for evening use since it contains retinal, which makes the skin more sensitive to the sun. If you still wish to use both products on the same evening, we recommend using GF Solution first, as it has a lighter consistency. Let it absorb well before applying A-Game 20. Always remember to use sun protection during the day when using products with retinoids! ☀️ Wishing you a lovely day ahead✨
