The Ordinary earns strong reviews for being effective and ingredient-focused: many users report clearer, smoother, more hydrated skin from staples like Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some formulas feel sticky or pill, certain actives (retinoids, vitamin C, high-percentage acids) can irritate or be too harsh, results can be hit-or-miss by product or skin type, and the range can be confusing without research.

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.

I’ve been using ordinary products for about a year now and it has changed my life. I used to struggle with acne and pigmentation but after adding Ordinary into my routine it’s really changed my skin for good.

Great price, whenever I feel a pimple coming on I put a little drops of niacinimde and the pimple will stop and not break out. Love the no frills packaging. The buffet was one of the very first products I brought from the ordinary in a little box called the “no brainer” it also included the moisturiser and EmulsionGranactive. Please bring back this set, it gave me a great price and it was easier than buying the products individually.

I like this toner but it can be harsh. If you use it correctly and make sure to not ruin ur skin barrier it works great at getting black head and texture to disappear

The ordinary are probably the hottest skincare brand right now, the product design and of course technology within the product are amazing, I’ve never used skincare I’ve been a coconut butter guy all my life and recent I’ve been offered the chance to use ordinary and I’d never turn back!

I was scared at first to try the product. But The Ordinary's glycolic acid works like magic! It evenly toned my dark underarms, knees, neck and elbows. I recommended it to mother and sister and they too loved it. I have been using it over 8 months now haven't experienced any side effects.

Love their products! Have not used all of them yet but the new soothing serum is the best I have had so far.

I have been using this product for about three years now. It made me the cool aunt since I knew about it before my nieces. Love this product very light and the price is great.

I’ve been using the hyaluronic acid and have been impressed with how clear my skin has been. My skin is usually oily and prone to breakouts but had fewer since I’ve been more consistent.

Its a good brand. Its affordable but I don’t really see that much of a result do I don’t know if the products are worth it. And it’s not that all products are affordable. Some are $25 which is like other brands. So I guess it is affordable but I don’t really see the results so it’s kind of a meh. Also the sizes are pretty small.
