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 and Brightening Daily 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% Serum for Oily Skin 1 oz/ 30 mL for breakouts and balance out your oil production. The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream for Redness and Blemish-Prone Skin 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.
