The Ordinary earns strong reviews for effective, ingredient-forward skincare that improves texture, acne, oil control, and hydration—standouts include Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Squalane Cleanser, and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. However, reviews also flag weaknesses: some formulas feel sticky or pill, certain actives (retinol, high-percentage acids/niacinamide) can irritate or dry skin if misused, results vary by product, and the technical lineup can overwhelm beginners.

Incredible line with new products pretty consistently. Oil cleanser is the best on the market.

Price is good compared to alternatives. I like their hyaluronic acid but need more from the moisturizer

Ive tested multiple products from this brand and I have to say the best product by far is the hyaluronic acid, I use this everyday and it keeps my skin super moisturised and it acts as a perfect base under my makeup!

I love that The Ordinary is affordable and is accessible to the everyone. I personally love their hyaluronic acid and salicylic acid peeling mask. The Hyaluronic acid keeps my skin so plump and hydrated. I love using it under makeup. The salicylic acid mask is good for once in a week to exfoliate your skin. it helps get rid of dead skin and dust particles stuck in your pores and helps prevent acne.

Ordinary has such an amazing product with price range. AHA/BHA peeling solution, lactic acid and rosehip oil are my favorite 😍

Very reasonable prices and everything is very straight forward and simple. The products don’t contain any fancy extras just the necessities and are great when you don’t know where to start in building a skincare routine

I've tried a variety of products from The Ordinary, but the two I consistently repurchase are Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. They're simply incredible. After each use, my skin feels plump, hydrated, and radiant. I've received numerous compliments on my skin's appearance, and I firmly believe it's due to incorporating these two products into my routine! I appreciate the minimalist yet functional packaging, and most importantly, the price is not exorbitant, making skincare accessible to everyone, regardless of financial constraints.

The lightweight serum texture is a delight to apply, absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. Its primary function, in my experience, has been its remarkable ability to regulate sebum production and minimize the appearance of pores. With consistent use, I've noticed a significant reduction in excess oiliness, resulting in a more balanced and refined complexion. This serum has seamlessly integrated itself into my daily routine and has become a staple I wouldn't want to go without

Love their shop at Covent Garden and that I can just drop by and get what I need and don't need to wait for the delivery. Amazing brand for people getting into skincare because you can explore such a wide range of ingredients, what works for you and what doesn't. But you need to do some research not to mix some ingredients that shouldn't be mixed. Their zinc and niacinamide serum is one my favourites, and their retinols have done nothing at all for me.

Great prices for skincare, especially when I’m trying to add something new to my skincare routine. The mix and match ability to creating your own routine is great and over whelming at the same time. Products I keep going back for are the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum, Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%.

I love every product I’ve ever gotten from The Ordinary! It’s great quality and super affordable which is a huge plus especially in this economy. My favorite products are the serums and I love the niacinamide + zinc serum and their Hyaluronic acid serum!

I started using their Hyaluronic acid because I have terribly dry skin. I really love the way it feels and hydrates my skin! However it’s nothing special. The consistency is fine and it hadd no scent.

Amazing brand, great ethics and the best of formulations on multiple products. My personal favourites are the ascorbic acid, the retinol serum at 0,2%, the multipeptide eye serum and aha/bha exfoliating treatment. Just an amazing brand overall.

I absolutely love The Ordinary! Their products make having a good skincare regimen way more accessible because their products are stellar AND affordable. I've struggled with acne, dark spots, large pores, and dry skin since I was a teenager and now, in my 30s, I have the best skin I've ever had thanks to AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. At first, their packaging can be a little confusing since most of it is very technical jargon, but their website makes it super easy to figure out exactly what you need. 10/10, will continue to use forever.

Great skincare, higher end drug store skin care products. There are so many products so it can be overwhelming to choose.

I bought several products by The ordinary for my daughter when she was having breakouts at the beginning of puberty. Cleared her skin and face up within 2 weeks.
