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 :)

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...

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.

So I actually used this because an ulta employee recommended it to me for my acne skin and scars. While I saw not much improvement from scars, I did see improvement in my acne and texture. Made me look a lot flawless than usual due to it fixing my textures. Will buy again!

I got this a bit ago and I used it for 8 weeks just to see what it would do, I struggled with scarring, redness, texture, and a broken skin barrier. This serum didn't really help with the the darker scarring, but it definitely did help with the lighter and smaller spots here and there. Completely fixed my skin barrier, and therefore also fixed my redness (one issue came from the other) I'M TELLING YOU I GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS. My skin texture also definitely improved a lot, my skin feels a whole lot smoother. Not only did this serum work wonders but it's also super moisturizing and leaves the skin with a satin finish. Love it.
Good serum
Very healing, it's my first time getting into skin care products at 22 since i've been breaking out very badly after getting sick and I have to say i'm impressed. I've never been interested in the skin care world since it's so overwhelming with all the options out there but i'm glad i did some looking around ! It's been about a month since my purchase & i can see a lot of improvement. No cons for me so far.
