The Ordinary reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Effective acne-clearing serums
- Hydrating, lightweight hyaluronic serum
- Powerful exfoliating acid treatments
- Minimalist, reliable packaging
- Occasional sticky serum textures
- Harsh actives for sensitive skin
- Pilling under makeup occurs
- Inconsistent retinol performance
The Ordinary earns strong reviews as effective, ingredient-forward skincare that improves texture, hydration, acne, and clarity—standouts include Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, and Squalane Cleanser—while minimalist packaging appeals. Reviews also flag downsides: some formulas feel sticky or pill, actives can be harsh or confusing to layer, certain products (retinols, vitamin C, hair care) underperform for some, and a few report irritation or breakouts.

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.
