NEW THE ORDINARY REGIMENS! If you’re new to The Ordinary and totally confused, I highly recommend buying a complete regimen. This will save you time, money and a lot of stress. It will also save you worrying about products that can and cannot be used together.
I want to create my own routine
If you wish to create your own routine, browsing through the routines below will give you an excellent idea of the products to look for. Don´t forget that you can mix it up between the different brands, The Ordinary, Hylamide & NIOD and always make sure you use SPF in your morning routine.

Note: The vitamin c derivatives never had any conflicts. In November 2020, Deciem said not to use any vitamin c with the Niacinamide powder. Then Deciem said not to use the derivatives with Niacinamide powder or the serum. Deciem then said if you have used Niacinamide serum with vitamin c derivatives without any irritation, you may continue to do so. (This is very Deciem).

It´s really important to introduce one product at a time and always patch test. If you rush in and apply 2 or 3 products and have a reaction, you will have no idea which product caused it.
Always refer to the official website for instructions and ingredients of each product. Patch testing is highly recommended.
