how to create the ordinary skincare routine for dry skin
The Correct Order of Skincare Application
If you are wondering what order to use The Ordinary products, The Ordinary recommends, in general, to apply water-based formulas first, then anhydrous or oil-based formulas, and then cream-based or suspension-based formulas last. You should apply multiple water-based serums in order of priority of skincare issue/concern.
If you want a detailed explanation of the correct order of skincare application, check out this post. All of The Ordinary skin routines below are listed in order of application, starting with cleansing and ending with either sunscreen in the AM or a hydrator in the PM.

The Ordinary Products For Most Skin Types
Skincare serums and treatments are the core of The Ordinary products. Skincare steps involving a cleanser, eye cream, and sunscreen are limited to a few options from The Ordinary, so these products can be used for most skin types since The Ordinary only offers one product in each category.
Cleanser (AM + PM): Squalane Cleanser – A gentle cleanser for a morning cleanse and the perfect makeup remover in the evening. Eye Cream (AM + PM): Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG – For dark circles around the eye contour, pigmentation, and puffiness. Sunscreen (Last Step in AM Skincare Routine): Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 with Antioxidants – Broad Spectrum SPF 30 UVA/UVB protection that also contains antioxidant, hydration, and anti-irritant support.

At this point, you might want to use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque if you have some active or upcoming breakouts, or The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Solution or The Ordinary AHA + BHA Peeling Solution to target dry skin or scarring, but these products should only be used once or twice a week. If you use the latter, skip
Eye serum is not an essential step (unless you have particular concerns about your eye area) but it’s a good habit to get into using one as it can be a great preventative step – the eye area is the first to show signs of aging since the skin here is so thin and delicate. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG contains high concentrations of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories which help to reduce puffiness and target pigmentation.
