The Ordinary reviews and discussion

Great products at an affordable price point. I love their Niacinamide (and actually notice a difference in the look / feel of my skin after using).

the salicylic acid works wonders for my pimple scars. flattens pimples and fades scars quick so I don't get much of a chance to pick them and make it worse. caffeine eye serum doesn't completely demolish my all nighter dark circles but I can tell they're much lighter. hyaluronic acid doesn't really work for me though, half of it sits on my skin and rubs off my face when I put on moisturizer. the moisturizer is good though, once a day keeps me hydrated in dry winter

I've tried several products from The Ordinary over the years - the buffet serum, rose hip seed oil, aha/bha exfoliating peeling mask, hyaluronic acid serum, and glycolic acid toner. I really like the concept of the Ordinary and the price point, but honestly, I've found all of their products underwhelming. The serums I've tried were especially lackluster - I use both of them (HA and buffet) for many many months and I didn't see any signs of improvement, at all. I likely won't purchase from the Ordinary again, not because their products are bad by any means, but I'd rather spend more money trying to find more effective products than continue to spend $7-15 on products that are consistently ineffective for my skin.

High-Quality Ingredients and great prices? Sold. Almost unheard of tbh.

Affordable and great quality

Great products (I have tried almost the entire line), and very affordable!

For me, this product did not do much for my skin. I do respect the company for the simplicity to understand what each product is, and the pricing is fantastic. I enjoy companies that are accessible financially. I look for more exciting packaging, which is why I did not continue to use this product. I think this product is good those who want high quality products at an affordable price!

I really enjoy using the glycolipid cream cleanser! Out of all their products, it's my favourite. The texture is silky and soft, which feels great on my skin. I also appreciate the natural scent.

I use their niacinamide serum. So affordable and works well!

It's affordable, but I can't see much difference after using it. My fav is the cleanser 10/10

I really really wanted to love all the Ordinary products I've tried over the years, but consistently they just don't have any effect. Often times they're sticky or hard to layer with other products due to consistency, pilling, etc. I love their pricing, hence the two stars instead of one, but it's hard to justify any price when I give each product a minimum of three months to show any signs of being effective and not a single one of them has been.

Really phenomal brand. Pleasing design, appreciate the scientific approach, great value.

Really great products for the price. I like that the brand is innovating into new categories. I wish the packaging was a little nicer. I find that with some of the serums the product becomes oxidized quickly but that is my only complaint

Love all the products I have tried from this brand. Great affordable quality products!!

Really nice cheap alternative to extremely expensive products on the market. While I don't know that it's as/more effective than its alternatives, I do think it does its job fairly well and at a really accessible price point.

It's not clean enough. Good price point though.

This cleanser has been genuinely life-changing. I have incredibly sensitive, dry, acne prone skin, and had been searching for a cleanser that would take off my makeup without stripping my skin or causing irritation. The squalene cleanser is perfect - my skin feels so clean after using this followed by my prescribed cleanser. I've seen huge improvements in the appearance of my skin over the past three months I've been using this product.

The only product I have tried from the ordinary has been their niacinimide serum so I’m judging my review solely off of that. Overall the product worked very well with my skin and left it feeling soft and rejuvenated. The product itself was very reasonably priced and overall I would recommend them to anyone!

it felt nice on my skin! didn’t notice huge difference from other brands
