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.

Loved the price point, the transparency, the help with how to use your products via website, and overall quality

Tried a few of their products. Good value for the money. I really enjoyed the lactic acid peel that I bought. Effective product for a very reasonable price point. When there is a promo (I think it’s once annually in November), you should stock up.
I love all of The Ordinary products that I've tried. My favorites/daily go-to products are the lactic acid and hyaluronic acid. I have really dry skin and this combo keeps my skin looking vibrant and healthy without causing any acne or redness. Also love the price point for all of their products. Their lactic acid is comparable to Sunday Riley's much more expensive serum, IMO.
I purchased their Rosehip oil to use as a neutral oil for makeup removal. No issues with the product and I especially appreciate the price point.
i am amazed by the continuous results i have had by this brand, clearing up my acne, getting rid of baggy eyes and calming my skin.

Excellent for the price, and I like the packaging.
I love The Ordinary! Not only to they have amazing skincare products, they are also very affordable. The AHA peel is my favorite product.
The Ordinary is a really wonderful option for skincare at a really affordable price. The serums are my favorite as nobody wants to be spending a fortune on those and they are just beautifully crafted. If something doesn't work out for you, it's not the end of the world because at the price, the products are such a steal!
I love this brand and have many products from them
Good quality for cheap prices. I think the salicylic acid works really well to treat breakouts as a spot treatment.

I used the acne line and it was perfect for my skin! I also swear by their Niacinamide!
Love all of their products that I have tried and I have been able to try quite a few of them due to their amazing pricing! My favorite is probably the hyaluronic acid serum, makes my skin feel so hydrated and glowy.
I LOVE this brand. First, I love how reasonable all of the prices are. It makes skincare super accessible. Second, the products work so well. After using their products for only a week I could already start to see incredible improvements in my skin.
Great affordability and access! Good for gifts too!

I love this brand. I use their products every day for my skincare routines and feel that they work on getting my acne under control along with fixing my damaged skin.
I bought this at Sephora after having it come highly recommended from a store associate. I have super dry skin, and this felt nice when going on. However, after using the entire bottle I did not notice a major difference in my skin. Overall, a nice product but not sure I will re-purchase based on my own skin!

made me break out. I swear the product is just water it did nothing for me and my skin
For the price point the products are pretty good. I have tried various products from this brand and the quality of the skincare is usually good but my issue has been that the packaging is so cheap that it has majority of the time fallen apart and the product wasted.
I love how affordable this brand is, while suiting a wide variety of needs. At the same time, it is important to be educated and utilize the website to ensure there are no contraindications. I've been using their copper peptide serum for over a year now, and it's comparable to some more expensive products. Will be using it for a long time.
I really love The Ordinary’s selection of products and value. I think that the product quality is great, and I use their products in my everyday skincare routine. This brand is a great way to start building a skincare regimen and build out a collection of products that work for you.
