The Ordinary has amazing skincare—but the names are confusing and the options can feel overwhelming 😅
I put together the beginner-friendly products that actually worked for me (no irritation, no gimmicks). These are great if you’re just starting out...
"A must-have if you struggle with oiliness or breakouts. Helped fade my dark spots and calmed my skin within weeks."
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
"This gives that 'glassy skin' hydration. I use it right after washing my face and it instantly makes my skin feel plump and soft."
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)
"If your skin feels rough or dull, this toner helps exfoliate gently. I started using it 2x a week and noticed a glow coming back."
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
A gentle, non-stripping cleanser that melts off makeup. It’s beginner-friendly and doesn’t leave my skin tight or dry.
