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.

HI 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 ...

Love how easy and straightforward this kit is. Although, if you have dry skin like me during the winter time I would recommend a different face wash than this one. The face wash in this one is similar to panoxyl and I only used this one every other day.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I have very sensitive and dry skin, so I thought id give it a try since I saw some good reviews. Been using it for a week and a half and can already see my skin coming back to life!! I will be definitely buying more of this in the future, especially the foaming cleanser

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I would totally recommend this product. With that being said ive only been using it for 2 days and have some pointers for someone looking to use it. I wash my face 2 times a day and have sensitivish skin. Normally as long as i buy products made for sensitive skin i have no issues. The face wash seems to be great as well as the moisturizer for daily use. The moisturizer is different from others ive used it leaves my face feeling a little tight once it dries which im liking. I think it could be a little more moisturing but it isnt leaving any irritation or anything. The syrum however is pretty harsh because its drying which does help clear the acne. Is says to use it once a day starting out which i think is where you go wrong when you have sensative skin. I can feel that it is a bit irritating but once used i did notice my acne clearing. I try to listen to my body so the only recommendation i can give is to use the facewash and moisturizer daily and the syrum once or twice a week max and when you so use it put it on then once dried apply the moisturizer over top. Do not use it everyday it will dry your skin. Definitely helping sooo much with my acne though. Hope i was help to someone. Also cant beat the price.
