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.

The last two years I've struggled badly with acne for the first time in my life. This stuff is amazing!!!

I have bought the Hyaluronic Acid several times now. For the price, there is no comparison! I use it in the AM and PM and I definitely feel like my face is getting moisturized from it. However, because of the price I really question the quality. Regardless, I keep coming back!

They provide detailed information about the ingredients used in their products and their benefits, which allows me to make informed choices about what I put on my skin. One of my favorite products from The Ordinary is their Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum. It has helped to reduce the appearance of my blemishes and control oil production on my skin. I have also tried their Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum, which has greatly improved the hydration levels of my skin. Overall, I highly recommend The Ordinary to anyone looking for affordable and effective skincare products.

Straight-forward, inarguably effective products. Absolutely no frills, nothing fancy, or "luxurious." A couple products probably should have not seen the light of day (a particularly gross micellar water that smells and feels like paint remover), but otherwise a solid line that will help your skin without draining the bank.

I’ve only been using products from The Ordinary for about 2 months now, but OMG I could see a difference in my skin within the first 2 weeks. My main skin concerns are wrinkles/lines, dull complexion, & dark spots. I began a regimen using their Argireline solution, Niacinimide, & Matrixyl & the difference it’s made in the look of my skin is incredible. I decided to start using these products bcuz they were cheap & I’m essentially poor now due to the rising cost of gas & food. I will never go back. These products do exactly what they say they will & I’ll shout it to the heavens to anybody who will listen I’m such a firm believer in them!

OMG ! the ordinary. J'utilise cette marque depuis tous les jours depuis 3 ans. Cela affiné ma peau, les pores sont moins visible. La peau est plus nette. Je recommande à 100% meilleur rapport qualité prix.

I was really hoping to lighten up some dark spots on my face. Hasn’t happened yet. Maybe I haven’t found the correct product. They have a wide assortment of products!! And their prices are incredible!

Great products at affordable prices

I have a love/hate relationship with the Ordinary. I feel that their products are either a complete hit or miss. Their hylaronic +b5 serum and niacinimide made me break out terribly!

I really enjoy the Ordinary. It's simple and easy to use and the price point can't be beat. I have sensitive skin and have never had a problem using any of The Ordinary products.

I have a very sensitive skin and I can say that I've been using the ordinary AHA serum for deep cleansing and It leaves my skin smooth instantly. I only use this once in 2 weeks without any other active ingredient.

You have to read, and try and test. But when you find the good stuff, its really good and really affordable. Just not the most intuitive experience...

Love their squalane cleanser!

The branding is good, but the quality is not the best. It made my skin break out, even though I only used their basic products. I do have sensitive skin, so it might work for those who don’t have sensitive skin.

Never had such good results when it comes to my skin. After using some of their serums to deal with acne the results were great and most of my acne/acne scars have faded.

I love the hair growth serum! Its so nourishing and makes my hair thicker!
