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’ve used their light foundation and it’s wonderful. Light and liquidy. It goes on easily and makes skin look more even toned yet not like you are wearing makeup.

I really feel like these products offered no benefit. I tried all three cleansers and they all smelled like leather polish to me. The vitamin C gel didn't do anything either. Have found brands that work much better for me. Good pricing though.

Great packing. High quality skincare at an affordable price. My favorite product is the aha 30 % bha 2 % peeling solution. Marked difference in dullness and and exfoliating the dry skin off of my face. Only have to use once a week.

The Ordinary makes pretty straightforward skincare and I love it!! Their Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid are my favorite!!
Feedback
I recommend the use for people who knows at least the basic of skincare because reading out only the ingredients might be intimidating plus you might ended up using the wrong products for your skin type/condition.

burns - don't know whether to attribute it to product quality or my skin's reaction to the critical ingredient.

Prices are amazing; ingredients are simple and straightforward. The Ordinary appeals to this Child of a Chemist. It’s super great for those sensitive to many ingredients. The Ordinary products just have the active components you are looking for, with as little additional stuff as possible.

I've been using the Ordinary for a few years now, and even though I've tried multiple other products (I'm a licensed aesthetician so it comes with the job) I've got to say, I keep going back to the Ordinary for my personal skincare!
Feedback
I've got no complaints. Honestly just try it! It's got a great price point and it compares to professional grade products.

it takes a while to see results and sometimes I feel like the product is too strong to use on my skin sometimes. I do love the price point though
Feedback
Maybe if the chemicals weren't too harsh to use?

The Ordinary products are amazing, they are the first products Ive used on my skin that deliver the promised results. After a month of using the Vitamin C extract I was receiving constant complements on the new glow on my skin!
Feedback
I honestly wouldnt change a thing, apart from them being more accesible in Spain!

Great no fuss products at a really good price. The squalene cleanser and azelic acid are staples in my face routine and have helped keen my skin bump free without dryness.

Look up your ingredients in your favourite products - the ordinary likely have a cheaper alternative

product are cheap but the quality is not there. They sell water and alcohol.
Feedback
You feel like you're making a deal but it's false economy as they supercharge productswith water and alcohol and unless you have oily skin it does more harm than good.

Love their products! My favorite is the silicone primer - makes the makeup looks amazing! Most of their skincare products like Niacinamide & Retinol are my go to! Affordable prices for great quality!
Feedback
Test out to make sure if something suits your skin but that goes for any skincare product!

I loved using the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum but I stopped using it because I need a product that could combine niacinamide and retinol. Over all, I loved it not only because it was affordable but also because my pores were less visible and my skin was plumping however, I need a good layer of hydration cream particularly in winter.
Feedback
I always bought it from Sephora because it was cheaper but I need to buy more than one bottle or something else because it was only sold online and the shipping cost something under $50

Amazing products. The texture and discoloration of my skin completely changed when I started consistently using these products in my daily routine.
Feedback
Very affordable skincare brand that gives real results.

If there’s one thing, I consistently buy is the ordinary products. They’re simplistic and clean. I can combine or use solo which I prefer. They’re return policy is also flexible which allows for a trial of the product and that can be helpful for someone who want to see how their skin will do.
Feedback
For people considering this brand, I would just be sure to read that the ingredients.
