Hello, I was wondering if this product would help fade my PIE (post inflammatory erythema)? And if so is it okay to use on normal - dryish skin? Thank you in advance. PS I love your products:)

Hi! I'm a first time buyer of The Ordinary, and just purchased the niacinamide 10% + zinc, Alpha Arbutin 2% HA, and Lactic Acid 10% HA. My issues are uneven skin tone/texture, large pores and fine lines. Can I use these products together? If so in what order? I've already started the niacinamide morning and evening and can already see an improvement. I haven't tried the other two yet.
- Asked by Amanda
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there! So glad to hear that Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is working out for you :) We'd recommend cleansing followed by Lactic Acid 10% + HA (in the PM only 1-3x/week), then Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.

Amazing! Finally something that works!
I started using this product 20 days ago and I'm so happy I found this product. I've been struggling with acne for almost 5 years (from when I was 13 years old until now). I tried a lot of (expensive) products, but nothing worked for me. I started using this serum in combination with a cleanser (Y...

Great for my sensitive, acne prone skin
I am in my 30's and have annoyingly sensitive and acne prone skin that is also somehow oily and dry at the same time. Basically, all of the problems. My skin has loved this product. I layer it on bare skin under my moisturizer in the morning and it helps control excess oil all day. My acne has also lessened over time, although it is not totally gone. My pores seem a bit more refined and redness reduced. I actually have been skipping makeup for the past few days because my skin is looking so nice (and I am at usually a bad skin time of the month, iykyk). Best of all, no bad reaction at all to this product for my ultra sensitive skin. Only negative is that it does sometimes pill if I apply it when my skin is oily already at all, so it has to be applied to freshly washed skin only. I've repurchased this many times.
Best for Acne!
I have oily skin, and with that comes breakouts. I especially get hormonal breakouts around my chin. This stuff is amazing! If I feel an "underground" zit or if I have an active breakout, I can both see and feel a difference literally the next day. Salycilic acid hasn't worked too well for me to nix the breakouts, so if that's been the case for you, definitely give this a try! It's been a godsend for me!
The Product I keep going back to
I have combination skin that is acne prone (even at 31…sigh). I used the on a suggestion by my aunt a few years ago and it helped to clear up my skin quite a bit.I stopped using it for a while and tried other products (the beauty of advertising), but this seems to consistently keep my skin clear so I went back to it. With the ordinary, I always warn people that you have to really read through what the serums etc interact with. I will continue to purchase this!
Wonderful
I love this product, it's really wonderful and it's part of my daily routine both night and day
Second time buying
This is the second time I've tried this product I like it. However, the only thing is this product seems a little water down compared to the first one i purchased.
