I seem to have bought a lot of their stuff and can’t work out what to do with the specific things I’ve bough.

I love their nicaminide and zinc and wear that in the mornings with hylaurinic acid.

Evenings were glycolic acid toner (love it) and vitamin c (Can’t see that it’s made any difference)

I was going to use up the vitamin c and then add in one or two more things to try, but having looked at my stash I seem to have bought
Buffet
Matrixyl
Amino acids
Alpha arbutin
Retinol in squalene

What combination of these would you use as I can’t work it out!

Thanks in advance

I use the ordinary vit c too. I double cleanse and then mix vic c powder with a really nice Aloe Vera face gel. And then top with rosehip oil or borage oil and pure vit e. And occasionally mandelic acid, but on those days I only cleanse, and put nothing else on my face.

In the mornings I use rose water, hyaluronic acid and then a lovely face cream by planted.

After years I found a low-fuss routine that really works for me!

I had a bunch of Ordinary (and other) stuff and took it to my dermatologist. She said just focus on vit c and something with salicylic acid. My aloe Vera gel has that.

@Trut can I ask what aloe Vera gel you use?

Ginfizzlife · 01/10/2020 08:28

If you google ‘Deciem chat room’ they have charts on how to layer, conflicts and regimes. I found it very helpful.

Trut · 01/10/2020 12:42

@Tinks15it it is called ‘primaloe’ and has 98%organic aloe Vera. It is made by Beliflor in Haute Loire, France.

Go on their website, they list all the treatments to use, in what order, for different issues.

Thanks @Trut - where do you buy it from online?

Trut · 01/10/2020 13:41

@Tinks15, I usually buy it in France. Here is a place to get in online. I think there are others too

Some of the comments are that is fairly liquid. And it is! I find it easy to mix with the Ordinary vit c powder and spread it thinly on my face
