The Ordinary earns strong reviews for being effective and ingredient-focused: many users report clearer, smoother, more hydrated skin from staples like Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some formulas feel sticky or pill, certain actives (retinoids, vitamin C, high-percentage acids) can irritate or be too harsh, results can be hit-or-miss by product or skin type, and the range can be confusing without research.

I love the ordinary! I’ve been buying their products for YEARS and will continue to do so! They are such an affordable brand with simple ingredients. I will always have their glycolic acid toner, “the buffet” (has a new name now), and the aha mask on my beauty shelf!

The Ordinary’s website does a great job with mapping out what ingredients should and should not be mixed. Many people miss out on this shopping from a 3rd party website, but this really helped me on the beginning on my skincare journey!

The Ordinary hyaluronic acid did wonders for my dry skin. I suffer from moderate to extreme eczema which makes choosing products so hard as most irritate it even more, except this didn't irritate it at all and helped reduce the flakiness or my eczema. Price is a bonus too!

good products, really great prices, and really potent formulas. packaging is simple and straight forward, gets the job done. tons of products to choose from
Feedback
sometimes the products are way too potent to be effective (ex: niacinamide), and wish there was a bit more research on the products. some of the textures of their creams tend to be interesting… and usually too greasy for my combo skin.

Functional and affordable skincare, no frills but you don't have to pay for a brand name

Overall, I have seen a significant improvement in my oily skin since incorporating The Ordinary products into my skincare routine and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for affordable yet effective skincare solutions. I also really like the multi peptide serum for hair growth. I have been using it for the past several months and have had noticeable new hair growth since then.
Feedback
As someone with oily skin, I highly recommend The Ordinary skincare products. Their products are effective yet affordable, making them a great option for those on a budget. Their Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum is a game-changer for oily skin types as it helps to regulate oil production, minimize the appearance of pores, and improve skin texture. Their Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is also excellent for oily skin as it helps to deeply cleanse and exfoliate, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Additionally, The Ordinary products are easy to incorporate into a skincare routine and can be customized to target specific concerns.

I use quite a few products from this brand and the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is in my routine every other day if not daily. The first time I used it I noticed a difference in my skin texture and moisture about 5-6 days in.

I’m 37, medium skinned, and I feel like this helps with signs of aging like fine likes and dry areas.

The highest quality products for the best price!
Feedback
I've tried tons of super expensive brands and this one works just as well, if not better, for a fraction of the price.

I love this brand. I have been using their niacinimide for about 2 years and it completely changed my skin. I love the sleek package and affordable prices.
Feedback
I think the brand has something for everyone's skin type and with their affordable prices something everyone will love.

I am now a regular customer of this brand. I have always had a great time and I still continue to buy the products once they are finished. For my skin type the niacinamide product works wonders. As well as Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow. I have really found some benefits. And I really recommend buying the products. My face is reborn.

I am very picky when it comes to products as I have very sensitive skin. This is one of those that did not irritate me at all.

I've been using their products for a few years now, I really like them. The Lactic Acid 10% is one of my favorites, since it is very light I use it as toner every day. The Hyaluronic acid and the Niacinamide serums are a must, good basic products for a great price. I didn't love the retinol in squalane, I would love to see a new strong retinol without oils. It is to heavy on my skin.

I am currently using the red mask and toner, it has done wonders for my skin. You need it right now.
Feedback
The price is also amazing. I have no complaints at all.

I absolutely love The Ordinary Hyluronic Acid 2% + B5. It helps so much with hydrating my super dry skin, especially in our super cold dry winters here in Alberta. I also have very sensitive skin and have found no irritation, and it's actually quite soothing for irritated skin. I also love that The Ordinary skincare is so affordable. It's so hard to be able to afford all the skincare products required for aging skin, and it's so nice to have a great product at a really great price.

I have tried a range of ordinary products and I have loved all of them. I am especially fond of the peptide buffet that I have been using for nearly 4 years now. I love the communication around ordinary products and the Decided chatroom is excellent. Truly one of my favorite beauty brands in the market.
Feedback
I'd love for some products to be formulated better primarily their retinol and Vitamin C. Otherwise I am all hearts.

Ho trovato questo prodotto da DOUGLAS e avendo io problemi di pelle mista ho voluto provarlo... mi sono sempre trovata benissimo. Un marchio che offre qualità ad un prezzo contenuto.
