The Ordinary earns strong reviews as effective, ingredient-forward skincare that improves texture, hydration, acne, and clarity—standouts include Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, and Squalane Cleanser—while minimalist packaging appeals. Reviews also flag downsides: some formulas feel sticky or pill, actives can be harsh or confusing to layer, certain products (retinols, vitamin C, hair care) underperform for some, and a few report irritation or breakouts.

I really like the ordinary products because they are high quality and economical! I will say the Hyaluronic Acid breaks me out a little bit and is quite sticky, but I love the Argireline Solution 10% - seriously every time I use it I feel like I got a little bit of botox. I feel like that plus my nu face is preventing me from spending thousands on botox.
This moisture is my absolute favorite! Keeps my skin feeling great, not to oily, and no breakouts!

I've used so many of their products. I swear by the Vitamin C suspension and glycolic acid toner. They are one of the few skincare companies that are very wallet friendly and their products DO WORK and they work well.
I am a content marketing specialist at impulse and I would love to hear your thoughts on how we can work together!
I have almost every product from the ordinary. this brand is amazing, my skin feels hydrated every day! I use these serums every day sometimes 3 times a day simply because they are that amazing! I love the ordinary
I recently tried The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum, and it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The quality is impressive, with noticeable improvement in my skin's texture and reduction in breakouts. The serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and is incredibly affordable compared to similar products. I also appreciate The Ordinary's commitment to transparency and effective, no-frills formulations. Overall, this serum is a high-quality, innovative product that works really well and is definitely worth the money. Highly recommend!
I love the ordinary! I have select serums and their face wash and i recommend highly! Very affordable as well!!
Great products and excellent price!
I had a really great experience with the ordinary. The rosehip face oil really protect my skin and make it feel better. My customer experience was impeccable and I really recommend the brand.
I use their Hyaluronic acid and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. These were recommended by my dermatologist for anti aging. I use one in the morning and the other at night. Price point is great as competing brands are 3x the price. I can’t say if it’s effective because I haven’t seen any drastic change in my face but the serums go on smooth and are weightless so I’ll keep on using them.
I’ve repurchased this product multiple times because it’s so good on my skin. It hydrates and leaves me with such soft skin and I love that the bottle is reusable when you run out of product. It is also super affordable!
The glycolic acid is gentle enough to exfoliate my elbows, back, underarms, as well as my scalp once weekly! Keeps my scalp feeling cleaner and hair is less oily.

Love the ordinary’s affordable food quality products. You can create the best things specifically for your skin. My favorite is the Azelic Acid-great for unclogging pores.

I absolutely love the squalane cleanser from the ordinary. I use it dry with no water to remove my make up as the first step in my nighttime skincare routine even with my dry sensitive skin. I do it like that first because, it makes my skin less dry before going in for my double cleanse. I do this a lot on my TikTok profile (@sweetzoie1) as well if you were interested in seeing my skincare routine
10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it , it worth every dime.
I love it so much my skin has been cleared up!!❤️

Their toner is the best and also has many uses besides toning. It can be used for sweaty pits, cracked feet and more. All their products are very affordable.
