What The Ordinary products should I buy?

I have dry/dehydrated extremely sensitive skin, age mid 30s. I have pretty clear, quite nice looking skin if a bit dull and lacklustre. Current skin care routine is basically nothing except moisturize! I literally only wash with water once a day, and moisturize by layering aveeno and nivea dry skin. I want to look after my skin but every time I try I end up with such horrendous skin irritation that I give up. I've been told marvellous things about the ordinary, and the price point definitely appeals since I won't be too heartbroken if a product doesn't work out and I have to abandon it. But looking into it...I don't know where to start! There's so many products. Anyone have any suggestions of what the hell I should be using? Advice gratefully received!

Go to the Deciem chat room as it has suggested routines.

www.deciemchatroom.com/the-ordinary-dehydration-regimen/

The hyalauronic acid is good for dehydrated skin. They recommend introducing one product at a time, so maybe start with a cleanse, hydration, moisturise routine and build it up from there.

I have dry/dehydrated skin which also breaks out easily (I have PCOS) and I love the ordinary products. I emailed Deciem and asked them for a routine, which was helpful. Not sure if they are doing it at the moment. Anyway, I have had to tweak their routine overtime by swapping a few products (due to sensitivity) and not using all products every day. The point I'm making is that you need to persevere.

Good luck

Agree with contacting Deciem, they are working but slower than usual, I got an email after a week or so
