The Ordinary reviews and discussion

The Ordinary offers high quality products at extremely affordable prices. Highly recommend!

The Ordinary products are a great, budget-friendly way to create your own tailored skin care regimen. My repurchases include the AHA + BHA Exfoliating Peeling Solution for a weekly chemical mask, and the Retinol in Squalane. It's an inexpensive place to shop for very specific items, or to test different products out if you're looking for something new.

So many products by The ordinary are in my daily skincare routine! They're affordable, simple, and get the job done.

Literally the best skincare on earth, I love they hydraulic acid and all of their serums!! This brand has SAVED me!

The Ordinary has done a ton to make skincare accessible. I appreciate their clear labels and product names: there aren't many vague cleansers or serums here! And prices are very reasonable. I recommend going in knowing what you're looking for -- problems at least, ideally do some research into ingredients to keep an eye out for -- so you're not overwhelmed.

Cheap and cheerful, great for someone who is interested in skincare and wants to do the work to mix together different concoctions and create a customized routine on a budget. I especially love the concealer, foundation (in so many shades!!), and the azeleic acid.

I use The Ordinary AHA/BHA peel about once a week and I love it - I feel like it makes my skin so much softer and it seems like it helps keep my pores unclogged when used regularly. It's very affordable and lasts a long time.

Clean, chic packaging. Products that work & feel great. Not travel friendly.

Pretty good products at very affordable and accessible price points!

It's a good start for those who are wanting to look deeper into the skincare products they buy (e.g. discovering ingredients that you want to implement into your skincare routine) but I think their competitor Paula's Choice offer more effective results with similar ingredients. However, the pricing for The Ordinary is so budget-friendly, it's a good stepping stone to better skincare, but a stepping stone nonetheless.

I tried the retinol and niacinimide serums. I felt that they were just ok. Very affordable, but I didn't notice any change in the my skin. I stopped using it after a while because it felt like a waste of time.

I think the ordinary is a great brand. They're transparent and super affordable without missing out on quality. Best hyaluronic acid serum. Also love the AHA BHA Peeling Solution.

It's amazing how simple and effective these products are for the price. Before I was on prescription skincare, I used this brand and it worked almost as well as my prescription.

The Ordinary is everything you want in a skincare brand. They are no-fuss and so affordable. I personally use the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% morning and night and it's done miracles for my acne prone skin. I would highly recommend for anyone that struggles with acne as it helps reduce sebum production.

I love The Ordinary! Their products are great for my sensitive combination skin and they have not irritated my face or caused break outs. I prefer their skincare products to other brands because I value their ingredients.

I’m a huge Ordinary fan! This brand has replaced so many of my beauty products now. I can’t believe how much I had been paying for the same products with other brands. I am all about the ingredients now with my products and The Ordinary does not disappoint.

Love Ordinary products. They are high quality but at a price point everyone can afford. I’ve been using the Niacinamide and have seen an improvement in my skin’s texture. Excited to try their other products.

I love the approachable pricing and how this brand takes away the brand name but not the quality. I tried the niacinimide solution as it worked well and didn’t make me break out. As someone who is new to skincare, I liked this one!

Good products and varied products for multiple uses. I have not yet used them long enough to know how effective they actually are.

I do not recommend AHA 30% + BHA 2% PEELING for skin on the sensitive and dry side as it is way too aggressive. I did not see a difference with their Caffeine Eye Serum. At least it is gentle to the skin.
