The Ordinary reviews and discussion

I have been struggling with acne and painful redness to cheeks since I began perimenopause. I started using cream cleanser salicylic acid serum and moisturizer and have seen improvement in just a week. Would definitely recommend the products. Affordable and effective.

The Ordinary has become one of the most talked-about skincare brands, known for its science-backed formulations, minimalist packaging, and budget-friendly prices. What I Love: ✅ Affordable Pricing ✅ Effective Ingredients ✅ Transparency

Did not work for me, used it for 3 months no improvement, my bottle also got moldy, ended up throwing it away. Not worth the money

I’ve been using The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid for a while now, and it’s a game-changer for my dry skin. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and plump without any greasiness. I love that it layers easily with my other products too, no pilling or stickiness. The best part? It’s affordable! You really don’t need to spend a fortune to keep your skin moisturized. If you’re looking for an easy way to boost hydration, I definitely recommend giving this a try!

Bought this product about a month ago and I’m in love! So versatile! Not only for the face, but I use it on my skalp, armpits or wherever I feel my skin needs a little extra care and push for its health. The price is really good for this type of beauty product , big recommend ‘

I love their Salicylic Acid 2% Solution! The skin feels so smooth and glowy in the morning without any bumps! It perfectly fits in my night - skincare routine. Also tried the The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors - when you use it, your skin feels instantly hydrated. It’s good for daily use, and over time, your skin may feel smoother and more comfortable. If you have very dry skin, you might need something more moisturizing, but this works well for normal to oily skin.

I really like the glycolic acid, it helps reduce my acne and hyperpigmentation. I will continue to use to see better results.

In one night you can feel your skin different. This brand make my face clear and make my pores small. I will trust this brand all the way. I really recommend it! The only products of this brand that didn’t work for me was the products for the eyes. Beside that, all it’s really good. I most recommend the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, the Niacinimide and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution.

I love everything about this brand! Unlike other brands, it commits to the quality and it's worth every penny. I have used the Retonoid 2% and their AHA30%, BHA 2% peeling solution and loved the results. Highly recommend!

I have been using GLYCOLIC ACID and HYALURONIC for 1 year now and honestly impressed since.the way it clear s the skin with improving the texture and also having multiple uses makes it my fav brand

I love the Ordinary, what worked for my skin so far is the Natural Moisturizer Factors+HA., the Multi Peptide Eye serum and Multi peptide HA Serum. However the 100% Plant Derived Squalene and the Squalene Cleanser was not for me, my skin felt to warm. It did work for my niece. My 17 year old son uses the moisturizer and his skin looks flawless, he has combination skin with a pimple here and there.

I use the niacinimide solution everyday on my face. It really helps with textured skin. Plus, the price is really friendly, talking as a college student . ;)

I recently decided to try The Ordinary's Caffeine Solution 5% after reading countless recommendations and I'm incredibly glad I did. From the first application, I noticed a significant difference in the appearance of puffiness and dark circles under my eyes. The lightweight serum is incredibly easy to apply and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It's been a few weeks now, and the skin around my eyes feels firmer and looks much brighter. One thing I appreciate about this product is its simplicity and effectiveness. With just a few ingredients, including caffeine and green tea catechin, it targets the eye area with precision. It's refreshing to find a product that lives up to its claims without unnecessary additives. Another bonus is the affordability of this product. High-quality eye serums often come with a high price tag, but The Ordinary has managed to offer a product that is both effective and budget-friendly. I've also found that a little goes a long way, making this an excellent value for the price. For anyone on the fence about trying this product, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Whether you're battling with tired eyes from too many late nights or you're looking for an effective way to reduce the appearance of dark circles, The Ordinary's Caffeine Solution 5% is a game-changer. It's definitely earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine.

Loving my purchase of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. I bought it on a whim and because it wasn’t a breaking the bank type of skincare product I thought I would try it out. It is like creamy, soft water droplets on your skin. My skin looks brighter, healthier, and feels sooo soft. I’m always very careful when purchasing skincare because of harsh chemicals like parabens and sulfates. This product is paraben and sulfate free. To be honest I haven’t noticed a difference in my wrinkles but it’s early yet maybe after some time I will. But for now, my skin feels softer and is looks glowing. Definitely a keeper

After a few days of using this product my skin looked the same but felt very soft and smooth. After about a week skin still felt soft and smooth and began looking brighter…just healthier looking. After just over 2 weeks my enlarged pored stared to look a little tighter. After a month I decided I loved this product.

I’ve been using the ordinary for around two years now and it’s a repurchase every single time I run out. The moisturizer helps me with dryness in the winter and the niacinamide serum helps reduce the acne that I get on my cheeks!

This product gives me the best results for dry skin and helps me maintain a easy face wash routine!!! pricing is beyond reasonable<3

i bought the daily skin kit, although many rave about it, i only enjoy the hyaluronic acid :( the cleanser was not beneficial to my oily skin, it didn’t froth in my hands or remove the oil off my skin:(

I have REALLY dry and flaky skin, + the climate here is hot and dry, One fine day I buy the Natural moisturising factors + HA cream and noticed pretty significant results, I can also repurchase it without feeling the doom of immense guilt

I bought the iconic pink soothing & barrier support serum and it’s one of my favourite products so far 🤩 . Definitely LOVE it, at I’ve been using as an “instantaneous” treatment before going out and i’ve been applying it after washing my face 2/3h before leaving the house, best thing i’ve ever done, it nourishes the skin, leaves it glowy and shiny, no red spots, minimises pores and blackheads and just gives to the skin a beautiful porcelain texture, i’ve been trying it as a 3 night out of 7 treatment for the past 4 weeks and i can strongly and safely affirm that glow✅ cleanliness✅ red areas❌ blackheads❌ uniformity✅ looking awake✅ smooth texture✅ simply PERFECT for me, for reference my skin is very dry and tends to develop eczema, this serum helped with that and took the redness away, be careful using it tho DO NOT APPLY IT EVERYDAY!!! It could cause you breakouts if your skin is as sensitive as mine, i’ll post before&after pictures below for instance, anyway that’s my favourite product of all the brand with the caffeine serum, glycolic acid and the retinol! Definitely recommend, 4/5
