I told you about my ultra complete adult acne routine.
But if your budget is ultra limited and you only want to use The Ordinary products, here is my routine for you.
The links point either to The Ordinary’s official website or to Sephora France.
Prices are the same on both sites but The Ordinary has more stock, Sephora is often out of stock.
Attention, all these products are highly concentrated in active ingredients, use 3 to 4 drops each time for the whole face.
The routine already takes into account the compatibility between the active ingredients.
