The Ordinary Bright Set is composed of four products;
- Gently cleanses the skin
- Targets the look of dark circles in the eye contour
- Promotes radiant, healthy-looking skin
- Provides mild exfoliation for visible clarity.
So is this a complete routine?
Unlike the other sets, this set isn´t really a complete routine and is more about the individual products that will help with brightening. Ethylated Ascorbic Acid and Glycolic Acid should not be used in the same routine. You would need to alternate them.
Check The Ordinary Conflicts ⚠️
Squalane Cleanser and the Caffeine Solution can be used with all products. Acids and Vitamin Cs have a lot of conflicts, so make sure you check the conflicts chart before using it. If I list them here, I feel it will confuse you even more as there are a lot of products to avoid.
Personally, I´m not too keen on this set as I think people expect these sets to be complete regimens with products you can use together safely, but it´s more of a selection of “brightening” products to fit into your existing routine.
