Can it be used with Tretinol?
- Asked by JanetHem
- 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 and/or prescription medications. 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

Wish I'd Started Using Pychnogenol 5% Sooner!
I bought Pychnogenol 5% about 2 weeks ago, and I'm already noting such a difference. I have oily skin, but it has a hard time retaining moisture. Not anymore! A few drops (three) is all I need, and it leaves my skin looking and feeling amazing. The moisture *lasts.* And more than that, my skin looks...

Confused...
I applied this product all over my face. My forehead looks great, no redness or swelling, the skin is moisturized. But my cheeks and nose turned into a tomato: the skin was very red and swelling appeared. This lasted for several hours. There was such an incomprehensible reaction on my face. I'm con...

Gives your skin a healthy glow!
I absolutely LOVE The Ordinary!!! With these inexpensive products, you can put together a personalized skin care regimen that meets your exact needs without paying for a lot of ingredients you probably don't need and/or going through some expensive customization service. Granted, my regimen consists of about a dozen products, so I could save time by spending more money, but the results I've gotten from the regimen I've put together are undeniable! My skin looks firmer, healthier, and younger. Pycnogenol is one of my favorite products. Not only does it moisturize, it gives my skin a healthy, golden glow. I instantly feel like I look several years younger after using this. Beware though, it will stain your clothes and fingers, so wash your hands after. Follow it with Amino Acids.
my skin breaking out from this
my skin breaking out with this, and ULTA makes it impossible to exchange or refund...i wont buy from them again .The service is not up to standard.
NOT STICKY
i dont know what anybody else uses but this hasnt left a sticky residue on my face ever. This also if not the last step in my skin care routine and I apply it before other oils and moisturizers. I use this daily and nightly and it does wonders!
Works on a recurring winter rash on my hand
I have a strange rash on my middle knuckle of only my right hand and only in winter for 10 years. It worsens in the cold and with handwashing. Lotion and vaseline helps, but does not eliminate. I tried pycogenol yesterday and the rash is almost gone.
Protecting my skin from outside things
I usually applied it before i do my makeup , it goes well with my makeup foundation , make the look very natural like your real skin . But if you use it on day time , you need to apply sunscreen on .
