Personalised The Ordinary Routines
These routines have been put together by Deciem and shared by the Deciem Addicts in the Independent Facebook Group The Ordinary & Deciem Chat Room.
They will give you an excellent idea of products you can and cannot use together, and you may even find one suitable for you and your skin. Please remember that this is just a guide, and what works for one person may not work for you.
You can find more The Ordinary Regimens including the brand new Deciem routines for congestion, hydration, antioxidant along with general signs of ageing, rosacea, textural irregularities, pigmentation, oily and sensitive skin.
