The Ordinary & Deciem Products

You Can & Cannot Mix

Not all these conflicts show on the official Deciem regimen page but Deciem always advises to avoid using
Acids, Retinol/Retinoids and Direct Vitamin C in the same routine. Some of these products in the conflicts
column are due to possible irritation. For those of you new to skincare, I advise you to follow this chart to avoid
any issues.

Always read the instructions on the Deciem website before using. It is highly recommended to patch test all
products. This chart is often updated, so please link to the page rather than a screenshot.
