The Ordinary earns strong reviews as effective, ingredient-forward skincare that improves texture, hydration, acne, and clarity—standouts include Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, and Squalane Cleanser—while minimalist packaging appeals. Reviews also flag downsides: some formulas feel sticky or pill, actives can be harsh or confusing to layer, certain products (retinols, vitamin C, hair care) underperform for some, and a few report irritation or breakouts.

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!

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.
