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.

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.

This was my very first Ordinary product and WOW! This stuff works! After you use it, your face is so smooth and glowy!! I feel like my serums and creams soak in and work to their full potential. I love it! I’m definitely excited to try other Ordinary products!

I've been using The Ordinary Serums for months, I feel that my skin is better. They are very affordable and I can recommend them to someone who doesn't want to spend lots of money on skincare but needs some valuable products. It's a 5-star for me. The only exception is "Niacimenide Serums". I don't know honestly how this is supposed to work, but I didn't feel any different from before, so I will not repurchase it when I finish it. Reminder: Your skin is unlike mine, so your experience may be different.

I've been using The Ordinary's products for years - two that are a part of my daily routine would have to be the HA Serum and the Daily Moisturizer. Both are an award-winning combo for my skin! My holy grail!

Very nice if you have specific needs. Inexpensive and easy to understand! It was a great way to get started in skincare for me

Price point is excellent, especially for those who are figuring out what their skin needs are. Huge fan of the Ordinary brand. The reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is the ability to access help customizing what your skin needs. They have 4 prescriptive plans, but that cannot cover all of our needs.

Cleanser is very nice. I have used a lot of their products. Great price point. A little confusing deciding which product you need. But overall nice skin care
