- 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 ...

Destroyed my skin
I used this as my skincare for about 6 months, it completely dried my skin out and caused the worst, most painful breakouts I have ever experienced. My skin has never been "sensitive" or felt like this til I used this product. I switched to a drugstore cleanser and moisturizer after I ran out of my Ordinary products and my skin immediately improved almost overnight. STEER CLEAR OF THE ORDINARY!
literally cleared my skin

I have never really had acne until I went to college this year. My skin was at an all time low, the worst I had ever seen it. I start using Ordinary Cleaner, moisturizer and acid for about 5 months now and it's cleared my skin COMPLETELY. Also helped my lily skin so much, it's at a great balance now. I recommend it to everyone who ask what helped me . buy it rn
My skin is worse now than it was before
I saw good things about this on TikTok & after researching decided to give this a try for my acne prone skin. Decided to get the toner as well and my cheeks are in shambles! I have red pimples and my skin is worse now than it was before. Will not continue with these products. I don't have sensitive skin but this has caused me a major set back! The pimples have the nerve to hurt! I'm so disappointed & upset I wasted my money & my skin is now even worse. BUY WITH CAUTION don't end up like me
Good while it lasted
I used this product for around 6 months and it was wonderful. The formula must have changed in between purchases - after buying it again it burned my face and made my skin dry and painful. The worst part was around my eyes - it hurt to even close them. Had to use multiple moisturizers to fix it. Tried one more time and it dried out my skin again but I stopped using it before it got too bad. I would understand if I had sensitive skin or if I was dehydrated but I truly believe the formula changed in between buying it again.
Really good and effective!

I just bought my teenage daughter, 'The Ordinary Acne Set' and she is very happy with the results. It cleared up her acne and not just that, it has also prevented new ones from coming out. Highly recommend!
