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.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum is my go to hydrating serum. It has totally changed my skincare game.
Nourishing, dose not irritate my skin leaves amazing results
I used to be extremely adamant about using the ordinary products when I was first trying to build a more stable routine. It’s a great line, but I think it’s really great for those who are on a budget. It’s a really great beginner friendly brand and introduction to the different acids that are out there dedicated to different skin conditions and goals. I used to use the azalaeic acid suspension as well as the niacinamide 10% + zinc and they both worked pretty well. Some consistencies were sticker than others, and some pilled quite a bit despite proper layering, but overall a good line of skincare.
I love the ordinary products! You don’t have to spend a ton of money on all skincare products and the ordinary shows that. I really like the hydraulic acid & vitamin C serum.
I've tried many different TO products over the years. I currently use their argan oil and have gifted it to friends. I have sensitive, breakout-prone skin and when I was using their hyaluronic acid moisturizer I didn't have any issues. I continue to see reputable experts recommend TO products and love that they are affordable, so when I need to try a new exfoliant or serum, I will likely buy from them.
It’s really great for what you pay for!
this brand helped me step into the world of skincare! with very reasonable and accessible pricing for high quality products, i will always recommend them to skincare newbies and veterans alike

I really like the packaging, value for money and how you can choose which serums and products individually match your skin type.

I like the 5% azelaic acid. The 15 and 20% are only available with a prescription, and are often not covered. A go-to fir to reduce inflammation and redness.
I’ve tried multiple products from the Ordinary and have been happy with all of them. The company offers really great skincare at very affordable prices. Highly recommend!

The Ordinary is anything but ordinary! I had sensitive skin and I've been using their oil cleanser and moisturizer for the last 2 years without issues. Highly recommend and very cost-effective for what you're getting.

I think a lot of the Ordinary's products are great for the price point. My favorite product from there at the moment is the glycolic acid. I have been using on my armpits a few times a week and I have noticed that they are less dark and I smell better.
I love this brand! It is so affordable and works so good’

I primarily use their niacinimide and “buffet” treatments. The niacinimide is incredible. I’ve branched out to try a few other products, but I always purchase the aforementioned two whenever I run out.

Great prices on products! Moisturizer Works well!
The Ordinary makes the best face lotion ever.
While I do like their mission to be a simple, yet effective brand. I found their formulas are too strong for my sensitive skin as they like to cram a large percentage of a powerful ingredient in a neutral formula. However, it is a very cost-effective brand that I know works for a lot of people.
I'm a big fan of the ordinary, which allows me to target the things on my skin I'm concerned about at an affordable pricepoint. I used their matrixyl and argeline and I've definitely noticed a difference since I've started doing it consistently.
I use many products from the Ordinary and not only do they make a noticeable difference, they are also affordable so I can sustain the skincare lifestyle. I use many of their serums as well as their mineral sunscreen. I will be a customer for life!
