When it comes to skincare, The Ordinary's science-driven approach is anything but ordinary. And while the brand’s clinical formulas might seem a little complex, there’s good reason for it, since they target everything from pigmentation and scarring to anti-aging. Unsure of where to start? We love Buffet – its multi-technology serum designed to tackle signs of aging. We bet you’ve heard of the brand’s best-selling Granactive Retinoid serum, too.

Rub cleanser in hands to warm the product and massage well onto dry face then rinse with warm water
Use salicylic acid masque once or twice a week on thoroughly clean, dry skin (do not use on wet skin)
Apply Niacinamide 10% + Zinc to entire face morning and evening before heavier creams
Apply moisturizer after serums as needed for skin hydration
