The Ordinary: Clean, Simple Skincare
15
items I discovered The Ordinary about a year ago, and after researching the products, I now have a full shelf of them. It deserves its own list, and here's why: it's tough to find skincare that has quality formulas, clean ingredients, is cruelty free, and ...
The Ordinary has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and is soo good for the price. I use it morning and evening after a cleanser. The bottle is nice too, it feels like it came fresh out of the testers botanical laboratory and is so clean.
The hyaluronic acid is a big skincare buzzword, but for good reason. This has four different types and helps keep your skin plump and smooth.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
This helps reduce any redness, since my skin is on the paler side and can get rosy, especially after washing it. This stuff lays on thicc, so a little goes a long way, and I usually brush my teeth while it sets in, I'd say give it at least two minute...
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc Serum
I've never had a gel moisturizer before the one, and my skin loves it! I didn't know moisturizers could come in anything other than creams, I love the lightness of it and non-fragrance.
Also—it has beta glucan in it, an ingredient that helps retain moisture in addition to being vegan, additive-free, and cruelty free. My skin drinks this right up.

It smells naturally Earthy (I love it, but it's a natural occurring fragrance--it's from roses!) Use it as one of the last steps after your serums and before your moisturizer.

The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Retinol is another big skincare buzzword because of its antiaging properties. This stuff is POWERFUL and is one of the only things (besides hyaloronic acid) that I can see the effects after just a few days. It's recommended you use it once or twice a...
The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion
Undereye solutions are tricky because for most skincare, all “eye serum” is is moisturizer in a smaller bottle that they sell overpriced. This is simple and straightforward – caffeine to reduce undereye puffiness and bags. I love it, and use it durin...

"I was recently asked to do a collaboration with @theordinary by the cool group of creative minds at @benable_hq. And I was so excited to do it, I didn’t even proof-read my email response confirming. Benable team, thank you for holding space (against...

What are reviews of The Ordinary Skincare products?
A gentle cleanser is so important, and this one gets the job done. I've used CeraVe in the past and these two are close faves of mine.

I go back and forth between this one and the caffeine solution because both are amazing. This one is at a bit of a higher price point, but it tackles ALOT of anti-aging concerns, and love it because of that.
