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 ...

Best acne treatment ever
Wonderful packaging
Made my acne worse
Unfortunately, this set didn't work for me. I've loved the other The Ordinary products I've tried such as moisturizers, serums, and toners. So I was super pumped to see an acne line! However, after using for 1-2 weeks, my skin has significantly increased in breakouts. Not just small little blackheads but large whiteheads all over my skin. Also, the face cleanser is super drying and the moisturizer is too light weight and does not work well to combat this. Wouldn't recommend for scene issues. Stick with their other products instead.
This project is OK
So the serum for the acne does work very well. The face work isn't for me and my face really dry and then the lotion part works pretty good. I would recommend this to anybody who has acne.
Very good product
Face started clearing up after a few days of usage.
Didn't Expect This😥
Ive seen this kit all over tiktok and i wanted to give it a try, so i bought it in store while also receiving my birthday free gift. The boxing of it is cute and helpful. I dont know if it's because my skin type or what bot but soon as i washed my face with the foaming cleanser my face was tingling. I also read to directions on the back! It says to wash all products off thirly! I washed my face off 3 times to make sure all products where washed off, after I put the serum on when i rubbed it in it made a white paste on my face with bubbles 😳. (also with the moisturizer too) Like am I doing it wrong? I watched multiple tiktoks about how to apply every. I tried it again and my face broke out more and more. Never again. on rhe journey of clearing my face up with REAL QUALITY products! ❤️
