The Ordinary & Deciem Products

You Can & Cannot Mix

June 2022. Before you use any product, it´s important to check which products can and cannot be used together. Some conflicts
may not appear on The Ordinary website but Deciem always advises avoiding using Acids, Retinol/Retinoids and Direct Vitamin C in
the same routine. You can use them in alternate routines AM/PM.

Some conflicts are due to possible irritation, and these are marked *. For those of you new to skincare, I advise you to follow this
chart and the advice from Deciem to avoid any issues. Always check ingredients in other brands you are using.

Always read the instructions on the box and the Deciem website before using any product and be aware that Deciem often update
conflicts. It is highly recommended to patch test all products. This chart is often updated, so please link to the page rather than a
screenshot.
