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.

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.

Love their straightforward approach to skincare, but not sure I saw any results with these products. However, I was able to maintain my skin in a good spot when I was using their products. The 30% AHA red mask is my favorite product.

I wanted to love the hyaluronic acid serum and the niacinamide serum but they both pilled so shortly after applying so unfortunately I could not continue using them.

i have used the niacinamide and the BHA AHA bottle. Personally did not see a difference using the niacinamide but the BHA one you definitely see a difference. The only thing about it, is that it burns and you have to be carful with it. It can irritate your skin pretty bad.

love this brand! it has a great value as far as money and the ingredients are really nice! I’ve used the niaminicide and hyloronic acid and moisturizer and they all work wonderful! The rose oil is great and the azelic acid facial serum made my skin very soft!

The Ordinary's minimalist packaging does not provide a luxurious experience, but the results matter. The brand's products often contain high-quality active ingredients, like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C, which are known for their effectiveness in addressing skin concerns. And the best part is that it’s affordable !
