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've always been a skincare enthusiast, and when it comes to keeping my skin hydrated and plump, The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 has become a staple in my daily routine. This product has truly been a game-changer, and I can't wait to share my experience with you.

For so long I heard great things about the Hyaluronic Acid and it is now my go to and one of the most important parts of my skincare routine. Their entire line of products is shockingly affordable and speaking for this serum it really does its job. I can feel an immediate difference in hydration, and even how my makeup applies more seamless when I use this product first. If you are just getting into skincare this is a great brand to try out products and find what works best for you!

I used the retinol for a long time and it made my skin look great. I rarely had any problems with irritation when I was using other products with it. The price point is also lovely.

The Zinc and niacinamide serum has literally changed my skin. I used to use accutane many years ago and this product works better. If I don’t use it I start to get breakouts right away but when I’m consistent with it, my skin remains flawless. I put it on every night before bed and truly love this product. This will be something I use for my entire life. I’ve used it for almost 2 years now and can’t imagine my life or skin without it.

Not going to lie - my adult acne has always been a problem. However, the ordinary serums have been a favorite for reducing the impact! I was not a believer - but I will now never travel anywhere without at least 3 or 4 of their serums with me. 100% recommend the hype because it really helps!

I have dry, acne-prone skin and I used their Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, their Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, their AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and their Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum and have looooved all of them. The hyaluronic acid is super hydrating, although I noticed that it left my skin feeling a little bit sticky, but because I used it under moisturizer, the moisturizer made the sticky feeling go away. The niacinamide serum was super calming, which I loved. The peeling solution, when used with caution is AMAZING and made my skin look so bright and clear. I am on my second Lash and Brow Serum bottle, so it is safe to say I also looove this product.

I've tried Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum. It really helped my skin even out. The pro was the price of the product. I think the price really attracted my attention. The con is that it is sticky. I don't really like the sticky feeling. Overall, it's not bad and if I was on a budget I would repurchase.

The Ordinary brand is very reasonably priced compared to other companies selling peptides and serums. The products work very well without causing a dent in your wallet, Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% formula is very good at clearing spots, pimples and blemishes. The best way to use them in combination with other products and your skin will look its best.

Love The Ordinary, it really is what the name says. The products are a bit nerdy from descriptions on the website if you just getting into skincare and the actual ingredients used for them, but all-in-all it all real simple and ordinary. The packaging is simple and easy to use, products are high quality and the overall look is very pleasant as well. And most of all really good value! Nothing really to complain about- i haven’t tried all their products but plenty and the ones have been more then satisfying.

The Ordinary has redefined budget-friendly skincare for me. Its clear product explanations and minimalist approach make navigating the world of skincare easy. The brand's commitment to high concentrations of active ingredients delivers visible results without breaking the bank. My skin has never looked better, and The Ordinary has earned its permanent spot in my routine. If you're on a budget but refuse to compromise on quality, this brand is a game-changer. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently incorporated The Ordinary's hair treatment into my hair care routine, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. The serum-like consistency makes it easy to distribute through the hair, and it absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue. After several weeks of consistent use, I've noticed a positive change in the overall condition of my hair. It feels stronger, looks shinier, and there's a subtle but noticeable improvement in thickness. It's not a miraculous overnight transformation, but it's steady and encouraging progress.

I started using The ordinary products in March and I can definitely see a difference in my skin.

I would recommend everyone with skin problems to use this, because you will see changes in a month or less.

I started using buffet and caffeine during the pandemic. Noticed a difference within a few weeks.
