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 placed an order on February 24. Today is April 7 and i have not received anything i tried to get in contact with them and the only message i got from you guys was saying "i have to get in contact with the carrier" which i did and they asked me to get in contact with you, i have sent some emails to you and i've been waiting for almost 3 weeks and no one have got in contact with me, i'm so mad at this company i don't trust you guys

The Ordinary skincare line is a game-changer. With clear labeling and potent formulas, it's a breath of fresh air in the skincare world. Their products, like the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum, deliver results without breaking the bank. While availability can be a bit of a challenge, it's well worth the wait. If you're after effective skincare that won't empty your wallet, The Ordinary is the answer.

These are amazing products. And affordable. The Argireline, Matrixyl serums, Azeliac Acid and Rosehip Oil are things I use daily and can’t live without. Try this brand, you won’t regret it.

The ordinary hyaluronic acid was the first serum I ever used and I was suspicious of the low price point, but it has been the best I’ve ever used. I have bought more expensive brands and keep going back to theirs. Simple and gets the job done. I have never had more hydrated and supple skin

I use their Niacinimide serum and Peeling solution. Both products work well without being super pricy. This brand is available in places like target or ulta so they are easily accessible.

Love the brand and price point, especially compared to most other skin care brands. The sunscreen in specific is hard for me to apply -- and it has a bit of tone to it which I'd rather just have a clear sun screen

I love this brand for their simplicity. Ingredients are clearly listed, and I don’t feel like I’m paying for fancier packaging or frills that I don’t need or want.

The Ordinary is an amazing and affordable skin care brand. I've used some of the products and I love them. This particular product is named Hyaluronic acid and I use it every day and I kid you not, my skin is glowing, I use it in my skin care and my makeup prep routine. Will definitely repurchase.

I love the look of this brand, the packaging is so aesthetic and really good. I love how you don't really feel there is a lot of product on your skin but you can feel your skin getting soft and healthy. Since I started using products of this brand my makeup sits so much smoother and more natural on my face.

I've tried a few products from The Ordinary (HA 2%, Lactic Acid, Pynocgenol 5%, and Peptide serum) I think it's an excellent brand for the price point. I'm also a fan of K-beauty/J-Beauty products and I find that I prefer K-Beauty/J-Beauty brand more, especially HA product. I'm trying out the Pynocgenol 5% right now (about 2 weeks) and I don't love it but I don't hate it either. The Lactic Acid is great and probably my favorite product of the ones that I have tried. It's gentle enough that I can use it 3 times a week. The peptide formulation is one of the most affordable one out there so it's a great value for someone who wants to include copper peptide in the skincare regimen.

The rosehip face oil brought my skin back to life. When my skin was dry, I would apply the rosehip face oil every night before bed, and would wake up the next morning with beautiful, hydrated, glowy, plump skin!

I love the Hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide. There a no BS, premium product with no brand premium charge.

I love this brand. I have many different ordinary products that I have used almost everyday for the past two years!
