- Q
Can u use this with trentinoin
- Asked by Stacy
- 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 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
- Q
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
- Q
Can this product be used with the Balancing & Clarifying Seum? If so, which one should be used before the other? Thank you.
- Asked by Marie
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHey there! Yes, both Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution and Balancing & Clarifying Serum can be used together in a regimen. We'd recommend applying based on priority of concern as they are both water-based serums. 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...

Calming
I use it at night with my other ordinary products. I was worried a little bit because some people said they got irritated, but it's greatly improved my skin.
Not a winner
I tried this 2 different times to make sure it was this product before I wrote a review. This product broke me out in small pimples. I use a tried and true routine for many years and Im very careful when I add a new product. I like many other TO products but not this one.
Amazing😍
I love it! Love it! LOVE IT!
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
