The Ordinary Skin Care

[ShelbyS2015]

Hello, I’m interested in starting to use a full skin care routine from The Ordinary brand but I feel really overwhelmed looking at all their products and I’m not understanding them all. My skin is Combination.. oily in my nose area but dry every where else. I have lots of redness in my cheeks, and I get acne but it’s not awful. Mainly diet & stress induced. I’m looking for a face wash, a toner, a serum, and a moisturizer. My main focus points would be.. dryness, redness, acne, and dullness. And if you have other recommendations as well that would be helpful. Thank you 🙂

@ShelbyS2015 The Ordinary only has one cleanser and one toner- THE ORDINARY - Squalane Cleanser and The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL . The toner might be too much for every day since it has an AHA exfoliant but it should help target dullness. You could use the The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL  for breakouts and balance out your oil production. The Ordinary Azelaic Acid 10% Suspension Brightening Cream 1 oz/ 30 mL you could use to target redness and breakouts. I think they would be fine one after the other or you could alternate days. Finally, you could use the THE ORDINARY - Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA as a moisturizer. Don't forget sunscreen! (Although the Ordinary one doesn't have great reviews). If you're looking for other affordable products, the Inkey list has some really nice products in a similar price range. If you currently have a skincare regimen, slowly incorporate one product at a time instead of switching everything all at once so your skin doesn't freak out.
