The Ordinary earns strong reviews for effective, ingredient-forward skincare that improves texture, acne, oil control, and hydration—standouts include Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Squalane Cleanser, and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. However, reviews also flag weaknesses: some formulas feel sticky or pill, certain actives (retinol, high-percentage acids/niacinamide) can irritate or dry skin if misused, results vary by product, and the technical lineup can overwhelm beginners.

The most amazing affordable skin care. From having acne and scars from a teen to adult and pregnancy and postpartum this has helped more than any other brand. It even cured psoriasis I had on my face. Highly recommend all the products

I love their caffeine eye serum and the rosehip oil, I wish figuring out what products are able mix together was easier because I had to do a lot of my own research on the percentage which is too high and then the products.

Glycolic Acid is my favorite, it assisted me in fading my skin hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and age spots. With regular use , it can contribute to a more even skin tone and improved overall skin appearance.

It's a review for the silicone Primer. I am now on my 4th one. I absolutely love it! I used to have an oily skin and it was the only one working for me.

I use this once a week in the morning. I had to work up to the amount of time I could leave it on. The red color can be a bit alarming when you are walking around the house while it is on but it makes it easy to see that I got it all cleaned off afterwards. There is some stinging sensation in the beginning.

I tried the niacinimide serum and it’s really good. However it works very slowly

I have used several serums from The Ordinary and love all of them. Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% Serum, Matrixyl 10% + HA and Lactic Acid 10% + HA are all part of my daily regiment, along with a Vitamin C serum and moisturizer. After starting with these products from the Ordinary, I got so many friends asking what I had done to my skin, because it looked so good! Quality, effective skincare products at affordable pricing, love it.

Love that this brand is an affordable way to try skincare. The packaging and branding is sleek, and I thoroughly enjoy using the vitamin c serum. I use it 2-3 times per week and my skin is more vibrant.

I love this brand. They provide beautiful curated products with full lists of ingredients that arent full of bad things. I have eczema and terribly sensitive skin and this brand works well

I got a gift set which included the cream facial cleanser, the light surface hydration formula, the hydration support serum, the high strength vitamin and mineral blemish serum, and the multi peptide eye serum. Using all of these together worked wonders on my skin. I have a combination of both dry and oily skin and I found that using both the serums on the days my skin was oily or dry really helped. It really helped balance my skin out. Not to mention my acne has cleared up entirely.
