The Ordinary reviews and discussion

obvs great prices, but pretty hit or miss in terms of efficacy. always loved their antioxidants but could really take or leave their moisturizers, primers, and retinols. love the simplicity of it all though.

I like the simplicity of this brand but I think they would benefit from promoting what products work together and what they’re supposed to do, for someone with no background in skincare it’s really difficult to navigate the product line

The ordinary glycolic acid toning solution has replaced deodorant in my household. My husband and I were looking for a natural deodorant that didn’t leave a stinky and we tried over 10 brands and couldn’t find one we both liked. A friend recommended. We try glycolic acid to neutralize the pH in our under arms and we have never looked back. I put mine in a glass spray bottle and apply it as I would deodorant and it last all day through workouts, working, the humid, Arkansas weather, and even on theme park days. I will never go back to using traditional deodorant.

I love the ordinary! I enjoy being able to buy specific ingredients to meet my own skincare needs. The prices are very affordable. I have never had an issue with any of the products that I have tried from them. I really like mandelic acid, and the AHA/BHA Peeling Mask.

I love this brand and their wide range of effective products. My favorite product is the BHA 2 % Peeling Solution. It's affordable and it works which is hard to find in todays beauty market.

I bought a vial of 0.5% squalene retinol serum. I have sensitive skin so was nervous that it would irritate. Happily nonirritation and I enjoyed using tje oil. I can't honestly say it made a big difference to my skin either though. I think perhaps I should go up to 1% to see if that makes a difference.

Love this brand, it is super affordable. Some product do work better than others, but I love their moisturizer and niacinamide. The lash/brow serum is my holy grail!!! some products are on the weaker end, so do some research

I’ve especially enjoy using the ordinary. It has become part of the daily skin care routine for years now. At their price point and the quality of the product it is a smart purchase. Because the product is very affordable and some is quite potent, it is easy to go overboard with layering and it is highly recommended to research which products to use whether for am or pm. Glad that these are in glass bottles. I appreciate the packaging and the quality that comes from these products.

Okay so using the ordinary product make me feel Sciency and I know what I’m doing but I really don’t so I just want them to put more description on the products and how to use them, like a QR code where they can show a video…

My experience was meh, nothing extraordinary to be honest, good quality for the price

Great quality for the price! Some products are better than others, but they keep the ingredients simple & do a great job of making it accessible.

I’ve tried many different products here, I love the rose hip seed oil

I haven't used too many The Ordinary Products, but I use the mandelic acid a few times a week. It's great for my skin texture and helps even out any hyperpigmentation.

Used to love them but there are better options these days like the inkey list.

Fantastic skincare at a truly reasonable price-point. The moisturiser is light and does the job, but the real star of the show for me is Face Buffet, which I found to be really moisturising serum. I've got sensitive skin, but I haven't suffered at all with any of The Ordinary's products. I really love the packaging, especially the ones with a pipette which helps with application, and also makes you feel like a badass scientist when you're using it.

I have been using The Ordinary for three years, and I absolutely love their products! My brother and fiancé also started using it a little over a year ago, and they like it as well. The website is easy to navigate, the price is student/young professional friendly. I had a small allergic reaction to one of the acids, so I recommend following the regimen they e-mail once you complete a short skin quiz, but also do you own research. The one downside is that we have to plan to restock early in advance, because it can take weeks to arrive.

Highly recommend anything from the ordinary. They bring quality skincare at an affordable price. I’ve been using this products for years

I have tried their hyaluronic acid 2% + B5 and liked it because it did not let me break out. However, the product stays relatively sticky and starts te crumble around the lid of the bottle after a while.

Their stuff is basic, but effective
