The Ordinary earns strong reviews for effective, ingredient-forward skincare that improves texture, hydration, acne, and glow—with standouts like Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some formulas feel sticky, can pill or irritate sensitive skin, high actives may overwhelm newbies, results can be hit-or-miss, and product naming/usage can be confusing.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I typically love all product from the Ordinary - in particular the "Mandelic Acid 10% + HA" and "Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum," however I would recommend avoiding the "Mineral UV Filters SPF 30" sunscreen as it smells weird and leave a significantly noticeable white cast.
I love this brand, very hydrating and just makes my skin feel radiant!
Simple, effective and affordable skincare, available in a range of bottle sizes. The only problem is it is often sold out everywhere!

I switched from L’Oréal to Ordinary hyaluronic acid and like this better. It does not bother my eyes which is a plus.
Love the ordinary products. Simple, effective, cheap.
Excellent product for the price. I have been ordering this Niacinamide for months now and it has worked just fine, it controls my face’s oil production and I can tell it minimizes the appearance of my pores. I’ve recently had people ask what I’m using and I truly feel like this product has made the visible differences.

Quality products at an affordable price point. The lash serum is great.
I love the ordinary they are reliable brand when ever I have a skincare related concern. I have been using the nianacinide and aha bha products for a year and loved the way it has rejuvenated my skin. Now using their retinol and have been loving this product so much! It’s cheap and affordable and really works!
Ho avuto modo di provare vari prodotti del marchio e mi sono sempre trovata molto bene, nessun prodotto è mai stato troppo aggressivo con la mia pelle. L’unica pecca è che mi piacerebbe che lasciassero una leggera profumazione che invece non c’è.
Products are really cheap but hit or miss
I tried the Ordinary retinol eye cream. It works great. Just as well or better than anything else that is really expensive.
have never tried anything beyond the AHA peeling solution (the red mask) and it left my skin burning & not very happy... I'm sure other products are lovely but my skin and i will have to pass on these. xo!
Most of the products are very affordable! I have the Squalane Cleanser and it's fine, but nothing great to say about it. I think a lot of it is I've just been so use to foaming cleansers my whole life, that I just feel like my face isn't getting as clean. I do love the toner though! I've seen people online recommending using it for body acne, not just your face, and for me that was really a game changer, and I've really noticed the problem subsiding. When I use it on my face, it makes me feel more clean than the face wash. I've had no negative reactions to any of the products and all the products I have from them work great as a full skincare routine for me, but if you're going to get anything, my recommendation would be on the toner!
Ther Alpha Arbutin has helped me lots with my hyperpigmentation. I am running out of my second bottle, it's a staple in my skincare routine!!
My go to for multiple single ingredient products so I can use them as needed. The lactic acid serums are both great. The HA moisturizer is perfect for dry skin. I’ve not used every product they make but the ones I have tried are all good.
I had the niacinimide and it worked really well for my skin type. I don’t let myself run out of this one.
Gentle, effective and inexpensive.
I love the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution. My skin has never looked better. I use it about once week for the most glowing skin
I use the retinol, niacinamide, and glycemic acid toner and they allow work amazingly. Have yet to find a cheaper alternative to any of them!
These brand is great. The prices are much less expensive than other brands, but the products work just as well. I have been impressed with everything I tried.
