Frequently Asked Questions

What makes The Ordinary different from other skincare brands?

The Ordinary is loved for its science-backed formulas, straightforward ingredients, and affordable prices. With a focus on transparency, each product is designed to deliver targeted results without unnecessary fillers.

How do I layer The Ordinary products for the best results?

Apply water-based serums first, followed by anhydrous or oil-based formulas, and finish with moisturiser and SPF in the morning. If using active ingredients like Retinol or exfoliating acids, introduce them gradually to avoid irritation.

Can I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid every day?

The Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a powerful exfoliant and is best used 2-3 times a week in the evening. Overuse can lead to sensitivity, so always follow with SPF in the daytime.

Which The Ordinary products are best for acne-prone skin?

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% helps regulate oil production and reduce breakouts, while Salicylic Acid 2% Solution deeply exfoliates and unclogs pores. Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is also a great option for calming redness and smoothing skin texture.

Can I mix The Ordinary Vitamin C with Niacinamide?

For some skin types, using Vitamin C and Niacinamide together may cause irritation. To be safe, apply Vitamin C in the morning and Niacinamide in the evening, or try a lower concentration if layering them.

What is the best The Ordinary product for dry skin?

Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 provides deep hydration, while Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA strengthens the skin barrier for long-lasting moisture.
