The Ordinary reviews and discussion

My skincare collection consist mostly on 80% of The Ordinary products, because they are truly amazing; also very affordable for beginners and if you are on a budget. Haven't had any issue with them, also the hair line is very good for curly hair.

“Affordable Skincare That Works: The Ordinary Niacinamide & Glycolic Acid Review” When it comes to skincare that’s both affordable and effective, The Ordinary always delivers. Their Niacinamide serum is my go-to for inflammation and to minimize the appearance of my pores. It keeps my skin calm and balanced without breaking the bank. And their Glycolic Acid? It gets the job done, it is a great exfoliant and it also brightens too all while staying budget-friendly. These products prove you don’t have to spend big to get great results!

I started using The Ordinary a year ago after discovering it on Instagram. When I checked out the prices online, I was amazed at how affordable their products are. My first purchase included the Multi-Peptide Serum, the Cleanser, and the Aloe 2% + NAG 2% (perfect for blemish-prone skin). Not only have I loved the results, but my husband is also a fan of the cleanser. It's been a great addition to our skincare routine, offering effective solutions without breaking the bank.

I have the ordinary natural moisturizing factors + Beta Glucan moisturizer and let me just say, it is absolutely amazing it was a huge game changer for me, as I had super dry skin. It blends in super well into the skin it also helps apply makeup easier and it smells good too! It’s help clear up my skin as well as making it super soft, hydrated and clear. Definitely worth the money!

The Ordinary is a great brand for those who are looking for affordable, effective skincare products - I love it! The brand's wide range of products, clear labelling, and focus on high-quality ingredients make it a viral product choice.

It’s a really great skincare brand for beginners and teens! The ingredients are very clean and simple which is a plus. I totally recommend it 💕

I have loved all of Ordinarys product and they are so affordable, my ONLY issue is with the " Buffet" serum. It says to use morning and night however If you wear makeup it does not blend well, I always get very patchy makeup, even if I use a moisturizer or a primer and spf... any combo to that effect. Its just so sticky, I'd stick to just applying it at night. The Peeling solution is my absolute favorite, in that is shrinks my pores and keep the sebum from clogging my nose pores!

The Ordinary products are affordable and effective. I like that they have a variety of products for people of all skin types.

Honestly I love The Ordinary’s glycolic acid toner solution. I use it after I shave for my legs and armpits and it’s really helped with not having strawberry legs or ingrown hair. I also use it for my face and feel it’s brightened up a lot. I will definitely keep buying this!

The hylauronic is never missing from my skincare products. I've been using it for a year now & it went from testing to being an essential in my routine! Love Ordinary!

This product is amazing, it’s affordable but also high quality! Best of both worlds. I love the hydrating serum and the primer the best!

I've used many The Ordinary products over the years and have consistently repurchased the serum and face lotion which are my daily drivers. The Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum is fantastic at keeping my face hydrated throughout the day. On top of that I'll also apply the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA face lotion which keeps lock in the moisture even further. I don't think I'll ever switch from these products because they work so well and are affordable as part of my daily skincare routine!

The ordinary is such an extraordinary brand its products are all amazing I’ve tried the eye lash serum and it worked like absolute magic. The exfoliates and cleansers are great. definitely worth it will be recommending to friends!!

Been using niacinamide for a year now. The most affordable yet effective brand I’ve ever tried. Definitely a must-have.🫶🏻

This review is specifically for their "AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution 30ml" product. This product saved my life. This isn't said lightly as I was going through a traumatizing period in my life that lead to prescription medication for depression, anxiety & PTSD. I was apprehensive about taking pills because I feared the potential negative side effects many of us have heard about but I took a chance. Then my biggest fear became true and I developed a very particular side effect to the pills. My body couldn't process the medication for some reason & for the first time in my life I developed cystic acne immediately after taking it. Painful and bloody cysts where appearing under and over my skin. Nothing - and I mean nothing, could help me cure it. I tried it all. It was hard to go out into the world because all three coats of Fenty foundation couldn't help cover the bloody cysts. (The foundation was actually recommended as the better alternative by my dermatologist. I worked at a law firm as a receptionist so being presentable was a must.) I didn't want to go out, looking at my face made me more depressed, I felt like I just wanted to hide in my room and it took a toll on my self esteem. This went on for 6 weeks until I stopped taking the meds and was saved by an Angel in the form of a Sephora employee. I went to their store to look for another brand to try when a girl who worked there took one look at my skin and came up to me and recommended this tiny little bottle that was $6 at that time. I almost laughed because of the price and I thought there was no way this little bottle that appeared so insignificant would make any difference. I gave it a shot because what else did I have to lose? I didn't last 10 seconds with this on my face when I tried it on because it felt like I had 100 ants crawling all over. I washed it off immediately and almost threw the bottle away. The next morning I woke up to seeing the majority of my acne less swollen, no new cysts had formed and they appeared to have gotten smaller. This was the first time a product had worked. I had tried high-end & low-end creams, Benzoyl Peroxides, Salicylic acids, spot treatments and pastes but none of them had worked. I tried it a second time a day later & for 10 more seconds and little by little, I was able to build up to 3 minutes before running to the sink to wash it off. This appeared to kill whatever bacteria was living on my face and within 2 weeks the cystic acne had almost diminished entirely. However, this solution did leave a lot of dark spots and some scarring. (All that has since gone away because I used other products to help with the reduction of dark spots & scars). I have since learned more about AHA's and BHA's & know that they are not great for your skin. Do your own research on these. Some products are not for everyday use. I don't regret using this product because as I said, it gave me my life back. The pictures show it best.

I have bought a few products from the Ordinary and have mixed reviews on all. I bought the sunscreen and I would not recommend, it goes on thicker and has to be rubbed in pretty intently to not leave any residue. It is a thicker sunscreen but didn't feel like it made my skin more moisturized. I would just prefer sunscreens that are weightless and sheer for every day use. I also bought the retinol and squalane that blew up on TikTok. I know in the states the percentage of retinol in products is limited and I have nothing to compare to, but I don't notice a change when I use this. I was warned to use it sparingly so my skin wouldn't overreact but I haven't noticed my skin reacting at all. I am still super careful and make extra sure to wear sunscreen the days after I use it, but not sure there is any change to my skin.

I discovered this brand a while back and really do enjoy their products. Super affordable. I liked that the boutiques aren’t over the top fancy. Great customer service every time I visited the shop.

Some of the best affordable skincare products. I regularly use the plant-derived Squalane, the viral AHA + BHA exfoliator, and the Salicylic Acid. I have used these for years and they have made a huge difference in clearing up my skin and improving dryness. I'm planning on trying more products very soon!

I absolutely loved the product considering its price. The product from "Ordinary" exceeded my expectations, especially considering its affordable price point. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and effectiveness of the product. Not only did it deliver noticeable results, but it also felt luxurious and high-end during application. The texture was smooth and easily absorbed into my skin, leaving it feeling nourished and hydrated. I also appreciated the simplicity of the product. It had a straightforward formulation without any unnecessary additives or fragrances. This made it suitable for my sensitive skin and minimized the risk of irritation. Overall, I highly recommend this product from "Ordinary" for its exceptional performance and budget-friendly price. It has become a staple in my skincare routine, and I'm delighted with the value it provides.

Their AHA/BHA peel is A LIFE SAVER! I'm not kidding. If you have sensitive skin and need a simplified routine, but also need to exfoliate...BUY THIS! My skin feels so healthy the next day and it keeps the congestion on my chin at bay during oily summers.
