- Q
Can this be used with AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution, Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum, and Trust Me On This Hypochlorous Acid Spray as a routine? If so is there a needed application order on what gets applied first and last? I suffer with alot of black heads. I have blemishes/scarring, and somewhat oily skin in my forehead but because i sweat a lot from outdoor sports too.
- Asked by sofia
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHI there. We do not recommend using multiple acids in the same regimen. Therefore we'd recommend using the Salicylic Acid 2% Solution from The Acne set on separate evenings than AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. Both Acids can be used in the same regimen as Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (Apply the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution first, rinse off, and then proceed with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%). Regarding the hypochlorous acid spray, sadly we're unable to comment on the pairing of The Ordinary's range with those of other brands. We recommend reaching out to your physician or dermatologist with any questions. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

Pores on my nose almost disappeared!!
I bought this hopeful, but honestly pretty skeptical. I've always had stubborn hormonal acne and sebaceous filaments all over my nose and even parts of my cheeks. Even on strong birth control to help my skin, I still couldn't get rid of bumpy skin and those big sebaceous nose pores! I started trying...

Skin responded poorly to this set
I have been using the squalene cleanser, niacinimide + zinc serum, and natural moisturizing factors w/beta glucan for the last 6ish months. This routine has been working fine for me and has balanced my skin tone, but hasnt helped my breakouts entirely. I still break out at least 1x a month on it so ...

The perfect treatment for acne
I fully recommend this product whether you are trying to prevent or treat your acne. I used this product myself and absolutely loved it!
very good for my skin
these products are very good for oily skin such as me. i used this product before and had to buy another one since it was so good. my skin became more clear and shiny and it didn't cause any irritation to my skin. im def going to buy again once i run out!
Came with free sample and isn't super small!
Usually in sets like these all the products are super small, but in this one, theyre only slightly smaller than the fill size.
Breaks me out !
I have dry skin, so maybe this isnt for me but the very first time i used this i broke out so much worse.! Would not recommend
works almost instantly if you are consistent!
this set is the best! it can be drying so i also use the la roche possay moisturizer. i have the panoxyl cleanser that i use along with the one that comes in this set 🙂 the first picture is on day 1 and the second picture is day 4
