The Ordinary reviews and discussion

I generally like these products, I've tried the face cleanser and it was just alright. It kind of just feels oily and it's hard to feel like my face has been truly cleaned. I don't think it's worth the money.

affordable and does exactly what you ask for! i love that i can buy specific products / acids at a super affordable price. i personally only like the ordinary for that purpose and don't love their formulated products (moisterizer)

I love the concept of the Ordinary skincare, how you are able to customize your skincare routine and getting the skincare ingredients needed to achieve your goals without paying for the fancy ingredients and packaging. I love their glycolic acid toner but really didn’t like the nicinimide serum and vitamin c serum. They smelt funny and pilled a lot even with other the Ordinary products.

I love how the skin care line is basic but essential and great for every day use. Also it is super cost-effective so I started my skin care routine with the ordinary and I’ve continued using some of their products ever since.

Good brand mission of cheap simple yet effective skincare with lots of various blends and acids for every skincare need. Some are more effective than others.

The only product I use regularly from The Ordinary now is their Glycolic Acid. Back when they launched, I did try a variety of products from them but none of them really stuck with me. The best part about The Ordinary is their low price point and concentrated products with no additives/fillers, but it was difficult to figure out a solid routine without in-depth knowledge of skincare ingredients and how they react together. If you go in blind and start mixing and matching a bunch of products, your skin will probably end up worse than when you started.

The Ordinary makes good solid products at a very affordable price point. When I use the line consistently, my face always looks great. I stray because I am a skincare junkie and cannot commit to one line. However, this is the line I buy for my husband so I know I can always dip into his stash. My only complaint is the eye cream/solution, I wish they would make a more hydrating cream based product.

I essentially think the products are decent, but they are overpriced. It wouldn’t be something that would purchase again after I finish and they seem to work, but I would expect more for the price it wouldn’t be something that I would purchase again unless it was on

You can't beat the price point for the Ordinary. The products are pretty competitive with name brands. It's a great way to try skincare without breaking the back. I like their face wash as well as their azelaic oil.

I really wanted to like this, but it didn’t work for me. It made my skin feel kind of dry and tight, and I didn’t notice any real improvement. Might work for others, but not a fan to me personally. It also didn't smell too nice.

The aha/bha exfoliating serum was way too strong for my skin and ruined my skin barrier. It also burned my skin when putting it on.

I use the Granactive Retinoid. It's the only Retinoid I've found that doesn't burn my face at all. I can use it every night without any issues. I like that it's packaged in glass as well, and the price is awesome.

I love my ordinary serum. I first was thinking about getting these when I saw how trendy they were on social media on TikTok on Instagram. So glad I tried these out because my skin feels great. Highly recommend

I've used various Ordinary products over the years, and although I will sometimes gravitate towards trying something new with flashier packaging, there are some staples I always come back to. I like how upfront they are, and I never worry about the quality of the product.

I am not too sure if their products do anything for my skin. It is also very drying on my skin and damaged my skin barrier.

The Ordinary has become my go-to skincare brand. I've used their products since 2019 and as my skin needs have changed, I have always been able to find effective products that solved my complexion issues. Currently I am loving their Glycolipid Cream Cleanser, which has been a live saver when my skin is extra sensitive.

For those on a budget, the ordinary makes consistently high-quality skin care products with few bells and whistles. I recommend reading the reviews of specific products before purchasing, it seems like there are a few that may be less effective. their glycolicacid has been great for me.

I have used many many The Ordinary products through the years and most of their products, I love. This one I do not care for, though. It makes my face incredibly sticky and tacky for a very long time. It's very difficult to apply anything else over this serum as it never really seems to dry.

Great quality for price - why overpay to a big luxury beauty brand when you can get the same product from The Ordinary. Crazy affordable, even through Sephora

I’ve tried a couple of their products and like them. They are quite affordable too.
