I just got this product recently. What order should I add it into my routine? My routine now is cleanser, scrub, toner, and a vitamin C moisturizer. Which step should I add this before/after?
- Asked by Kay
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageUnfortunately, it is difficult for us to comment on the pairing of our products with those of other brands. We do not recommend using Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution with Direct Acids, Direct Vitamin C, Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid, and Salicylic Acid. We recommend consulting with your doctor/dermatologist, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time, and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.Was this answer helpful to you

Hi. I just bought my son the Salicylic Acid 2% Acne Serum and Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution Serum. How does he layer this after cleansing? Thank you :)
- Asked by TB
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! We do not recommend layering Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution and Salicylic Acid 2% Solution in the same regimen. After cleansing, we recommend Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution in the AM, and Salicylic Acid 2% Solution in the PM followed by a moisturizer.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...

Almost perfect
Disclaimer - My skin is on the oily side, prone to the occasional hormonal breakout. Only knocked off one star because of the oily sheen this can give my skin, HOWEVER, a little goes a long way. Using less helps prevent more oil from forming. So perhaps it was user error on my end. Otherwise this is great. Had a couple noticeable acne scars on my face that were red in color. This helped make them go away and are sooooo much less noticeable now. When doing research in remedies for acne scarring, this product came up, and im so glad it did. Have bought it several times. I dont use daily, but i do use this roughly 4-5 times per week.
Can't really tell if it does anything
I use/have used a few different The Ordinary products throughout the last few years, this one being more recently. I think I have been using this for about 6 months now, maybe 8. I honestly can't really tell that it really helps with uneven skin, appearance of pores, etc. It's actually pretty good as a very light moisturizer and feels good as you're putting it on. It is a little sticky before it dries, but I layer products so I don't care about the finish of it. I guess I'll stop using it for a while to see if my skin reacts lol
i would buy this product again and again

it's made a huge difference on my skin
It works really well for reducing redness and acne marks
I have tried other things that claim to help with post acne marks and none of them worked that well. I was so surprised by how well this works. It speeds up healing tremendously! It also helps a lot with redness. Very impressed.
Nice

The texture is like a serum. It takes a while for it to be absorbed into the skin. There is really no scent that I can tell from this product. The packaging from The Ordinary is always great and you always get a good price for product.
