The Ordinary reviews and discussion

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!

amazing prices and amazing products, I don't feel guilty everytime I want to indulge in my skincare routine because the price is awesome!

Love the Ordinary! Some complain that their products are not complex enough but that is the purpose of the company. I have their Natural Moisturizing face lotion, and it is lightweight yet nourishing which is great for my acne prone skin. Highly recommend if you're looking for cheap, clean, and simple products.

I really like their moisturizer and the price point, however, there are soooo many products that it is hard to figure out what you should get. You have to be a cosmetic chemist to figure out what works with what and when to use it and how. I wish the brand was more user friendly but like their mission of making skincare more accessible.

I think by now most people, women at least, are familiar with the ordinary. They make so many affordable products it can actually be a bit overwhelming as it's not marketed quite the same as other skincare. The products are named simply for the active ingredients inside them there are other skincare brands are selling you an end goal telling you what the product will do for you not what's in it. I have repurchased the ordinary hyaluronic acid many times and it is a great product. Same with their glycolic acid, it's a huge bottle that will last a long time for less than $15 you can use many of their products for multiple purposes and it's a great place to start if you're looking for affordable active skin care.

The ordinary products are well done at a good price point.

I LOVE The Ordinary! Matrixyl and “B” Oil are two must haves in my skincare routine and I am a skincare fanatic! I have really sensitive, dry skin and after trying so many different products, these are two that I always keep in my routine!

This is a great brand to use if you're just starting out with skincare. I love how affordable these products are and the minimalist packaging. There are so many products to choose from based on your skincare needs.

I love their products! They’re all super affordable and have helped me clear my skin. I struggle with acne and acne scars and their products have helped minimize my skin concerns :)

I've been using this line for a little while now and I'm really loving it. The products are super affordable and I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking for some new skincare products!

The Ordinary's products are hit or miss. I find myself using more products than necessary because they're so reasonably priced, but they all work well.

Have such a great experience with the ordinary. It was so great to see skincare that actually works be accessible! and everything is broken down so simply, it really helped feint my love fore skincare. couldn’t recommend the ordinary more!

great skincare products, really made a difference on my skin

Good products overall but you gotta do your research and be careful with which product is compatible with others. Very customizable but takes time and skin testing.

It is good in that it fills a hole of basic/no frills active skincare. that said, you need to already have a good idea of ingredients, what they do, and how well they work for you to get a 4star value out of this brand. because items are so low cost it is pretty low risk, but the wrong person could end up hurting rather than helping their skin if they used the wrong thing without knowing. also the formulas are not going to feel the most cosmetically elegant- they are cheaper, not terrible but not on par with high end or even some mid-range brands
