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 have been using the ordinary products for 5 years now and I am consistently amazed at the quality of their products with such an affordable price! The buffet serum is amazing and has become a staple in my routine- I notice when I’m not using it

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 100ml Was a last minute purchase before a recent holiday. I wanted a super moisturising formula that would leave my skin feeling hydrated but not oily and as someone who suffers from combination skin, this definitely did the trick!! It’s an intuitive product that kept my skin feeling balanced all day, even in the heat! It also worked well with my SPF oil underneath. Travel friendly and reliable, 5 stars from me as I also didn’t break out too 🙌🏻

Great product! But I suggest to get the niacinamide as well.

The ordinary Azelaic acid is the only thing that has helped my sensitive, acne prone skin during pregnancy and after. 10/10 recommend! Wears well under makeup too.

Helps so much with my acne and leaves my skin so bright I don’t even need to use foundation anymore

I’ve tried several products and can say the price point is great!! I would say definitely read about the products and decide if the % of active ingredients is right for you…I used a retinol that was too aggressive unknowingly

Absolutely in love with the skin and hair products. Huge range of products.

HIgh quality, inexpensive. and effective skincare products without the markup. Lactic Acid 10% is nearly a dupe for Sunday Riley Good Genes at 1/8th the price! I'm a huge fan of their Squalene wash, Azaleic Acid, and Marula Oil (another great swap for the way-pricier Drunk Elephant version). Products are on the small size, but they're releasing more size options in some products, and on the flip side, it's a good way to figure out what works for you without spending too much or wasting a ton of product.

Good but not great. I have tried several of their serums and they all left my face sticky. But I love their exfoliating mask!!

This is Angel who currently running as UGC, social influencer and modeling in the USA. I have sensitive skin and I cannot test random skin care products on my face. I saw the reviews on social media platforms and i decided to test this skin care products to share honest reviews to my audience. Most of my audience always wonder how i take care of my skin and which products do i usually use. In 2 weeks, magic happened on my skin and my hair. I use Glycolic acid toner to rid of the dandruff and uneven underarms care. Serums are awesome ! I will share on my social media for more details about serum .Such a great products with no regrets!

I love the brand for the price point! It is extremely affordable and easy to use. The only thing since the packaging really only has the ingredients and amount on it, it can be hard to understand if you should mix products or what they are used for.

I really like The Ordinary, especially price-quality wise! The have a big range and like how they're approaching skin care differently with one or two ingredient products, which is great because they're friendly to understand and use, but also doesn't mean you're overloading your face with thousands of ingredient formulas.

Overall the job these products have done on me and the affordability making it easy to access was so convenient. It would be even better if there was a quiz to help potential customers have a clearer idea of what products they need in their skin care routine. From my experience, finding the right skin care routine was confusing at times and led to me giving up-so implementing a personal quiz(something similar) would help those who may be ???!! A favorite of mine: Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is AMAZING and was one of the products that really helped clear out my skin
