So I’ve just ordered the 0.2% retinol from the ordinary, but I’m not sure where to place it in my routine because it’s oil based. Does that mean that you have to use it after your moisturizer? because all my other products are water based.

Hi, so I’m looking for a moisturizer to use in the pm that is really gentle on my skin. I’ve recently started to exfoliate 2x a week with a bha and I love the results so far but the only thing is that it makes my skin very sensitive to almost every moisturizer. I’m currently using the ha moisturizer from the Ordinary in the morning and it’s the only moisturizer that my skin is not irritated by, but I don’t want to use that moisturizer in the pm because it’s too lightweight for me in the evening as my skin is also very dry. Does anyone know an affordable moisturizer that is very soothing but also hydrates/nourishes?

Im soon starting retinol for the first time in 2 years but I’m wondering of you can use a salicylic acid cleanser in the same routine as a retinol. I’m assuming no but I’m still not sure. I alternate between the cleanser from the inkey list and the cerave one and I use them about 4 nights a week. The reason I’m not sure is because you don’t leave cleansers on. Does anyone know ?

Other than helping my skin when its sensitive it doesn’t do much

It’s a good choice if your skin is sensative or when your skin barrier is inflamed
