The Ordinary Niacinamide
A quick look At Niacinamide

- You can use this in the morning and evening
- Conflicts include; Vitamin Cs Vitamin C 23%, Vitamin C 30%, L-Ascorbic Acid Powder, Ethylated Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid & Alpha Arbutin (see below).

Niacinamide can be found under “More Molecules” on the Deciem
This is a water-based product which you would use as one of the very first layers in your skincare routine. You can apply a few drops to cleansed skin, ensuring it´s fully absorbed before applying the next product. This can also be used as the second water-based product you use. Read more about How To Layer The Ordinary here.
Niacinamide does conflict with other products; Vitamin C 23%, Vitamin C 30%, L-Ascorbic Acid Powder, Ethylated Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid & Alpha Arbutin. It´s best to use one in the morning and the conflicting products in the evening. There is conflicting advice about Niacinamide and Vitamin C, some people say they´re fine together. If I´m using Deciem products, I personally would take the advice from Deciem, but everyone is different. Always do your own homework. You can read more about The Ordinary Conflicts here.
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid
A quick look at Salicylic Acid
- Salicylic Acid Lackluster Tone, Appearance of Blemishes

Natural Moisturising Factors
A quick look at Natural Moisturising Factors
- Natural Moisturising Factors Targets Hydration, Skin repair
- Use this in the morning and evening
- Available in 30ml and 100ml. 100ml much better value!
Natural Moisturising Factors can be used in the morning or the evening as your last step in your skincare routine.
If I had to choose one product to use forever from The Ordinary, it would have to be this, The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors. It´s such a lovely texture and leaves skin feeling and looking hydrated for hours.
I´ve even managed to convert my husband to this and it´s a third of the price of his usual brand. This product along with Squalene oil are my 2 favourite hydration products. Especially when traveling long haul. Make sure you go for the 100ml, it´s much better value.
If you are new to The Ordinary and skincare, I highly recommend starting with a set regimen or asking Deciem for a personalized regimen. You will save time, money and a lot of stress. Additionally, you can find lots more Deciem regimens here and also the How To Layer The Ordinary Guide.
