Can this serum also help treat back acne scars?
- Asked by mooncake
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageAloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution has only been tested for use on the face and neck. You may wish to explore Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion if you're looking to address tone and reduce dark spots.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Could i hse this along with the Ordinary niacinamide + zinc serum? If so, which one should i apply first?
- Asked by Kailey
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there. Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% can be used together in the same regimen. If you have more than one water-based serum (both of these are), you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first).Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does this product cause a purge?
- Asked by Lilly
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngagePlease note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behaviour, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. Trying test patches of each new product first will allow you to identify whether you are sensitive or intolerant to a particular formulation.We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

Just What I Needed
I have been looking for a product exactly like this. I needed a product that calms my skin redness and handles my acne scarring, then the Ordinary released this. I only just started using this but I needed an Aloe product for my morning routine as Aloe Vera gel seems too thick for the AM & more suit...

Sensitive skin users don't take this risk
Do NOT recommend this product. I have been using the ordinary for years, it's great that they are coming out with new stuff but not when it doesn't work for you. Most of the reviews here were from influencers that were given this product for free sadly. I had high hopes being a avid TO user. How...

I love this product
Ever since i started uesinh this my acne scars have started to fade, also when ever I do get a pimple it doesnt scar as badly as normal and i tend to dcar easily and badly so that has bee amazing.
On my third bottle
I'm on my third bottle and I love this product. I'm super acne prone, and even though this product doesn't fight acne I 100% see a difference with my post acne marks. I don't scar as bad, and I feel like i have less marks then before. This paired with an exfoliator is chefs kiss. I pick my acne, so I am guaranteed to scar. This helps so much. Unfortunately I will always have acne and pick, but luckily I will always have this product. I put a few friends on this and they have said they have better results with this than higher end products.
Inflammation where??
I have bought BOTTLES of this product and everytime I don't repurchase, I end up missing it! I am a skin picker and whenever I use this the night of picking at my face, the next morning the amount of inflammation is so much less than normal. I typically use this when picking my skin or when my barrier feels compromised. She isn't istantly cooling or soothing, but she will kill the inflammation by the next morning or night!!
I would repurchase
Makes my skin feel nice and I have noticed a difference in how red my skin gets
