The Ordinary reviews and discussion

It is an overall effective and affordable product. I had serums from them and worked for a while then it didnt. I liked it in the beginning but it seems like it was doing more damage than helping with my skin because it felt like a concentrated product.

Absolutely love this brand! I’ve tried a few products that include the glycolic acid toner, BHA+AHA chemical face mask, and the salicylic acid. But I have three favourite staples that are apart of my daily skin care routine! This includes the Squalane cleanser, caffeine serum, and the Niacinimide. These products have overall improved my skin and I love their transparency with ingredients!

Some products work really well. You just need to make sure you know what products can and cannot be mixed

Skincare enthusiast here! For background, I have fairly normal/oily-leaning, acne prone skin. I’ve tried a couple products by TO: Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Caffeine Serum, AHA + BHA Peel. They are well formulated, although fairly basic. This could either be a pro or a con for you depending on your preferences when it comes to skincare. If you just need one focused ingredient in a serum, TO probably has it; if you want something with a blend of actives look elsewhere. I don’t mind trying new products from this brand as they are some of the lowest priced on the market, so even if I don’t love something it’s not a huge loss, ya know? I found the textures of both serums to be a bit sticky; the hyaluronic acid was too sticky for me to continue using it, although when using the Caffeine serum under my eyes diligently I did notice a bit of a brighter look. The peel is good but it’s very easy to use too much/too long/too often, as is the same for any high-strength acid peel. This one happens to be one of the most accessible and popular due to looking like blood which *is* pretty cool. I find the name to be pretty fitting - Ordinary, neither good nor bad. I’m stuck on whether or not I’d recommend this brand unless you know what you are getting into and aren’t expecting miracle results. But for the price? Worth a try anyway, and you might find something you like, however I have yet to use something that I’ve repurchased.

Love every product I’ve gotten and all reasonably priced

I use a lot of The Ordinary products and I love them. I have been using them for quite some time and i’ve found that my skin has improved so much! Their serums are so good and feel so good on my skin. Their primer is also really good! It dries down in a decent amount of time and allows my makeup to blend well. I’m also a fan of their shampoo! It makes my hair feel really soft and makes my hair very shiny.
