The Ordinary Products & What they do?

The Ordinary Products – What does The Ordinary do?

The Ordinary range includes around 60 products. On this page, you will find all The Ordinary products and what each one targets.

If you’re new to skincare, I highly recommend building your own skincare routine with the regimen builder or looking at all The Ordinary Skincare Routines and many Personalized Routines here.

How to put a skincare routine together

If you wish to put a routine together yourself, I would advise starting with 1, maybe 2 products from each category and preferably products with no or few conflicts. You can find more pages on this website, like How To Layer The Ordinary and The Ordinary Conflicts.

Conflicts

There are many product conflicts, which I highly recommend looking through here first: The Ordinary Conflicts. Avoid using Acids, Retinol, & Direct Vitamin C in the same routine. Peptides should not be used with Acids. Avoid Niacinamide and Vitamin C. There are a few more, so check the conflicts chart.

AntioxidantsTargets
EUK 134Antioxidant Support | Redness
Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid Signs of Ageing

Pycnogenol Skin Hydration

All of these antioxidants have conflicts. Pycnogenol has the fewest conflicts and would be a good one. The Ordinary Pycnogenol comes in a 15ml bottle and is one of my favourite products. If you’re undecided, read about The Ordinary Antioxidants and reviews here.

Hair & Scalp Care is a huge thing, and The Ordinary now has a shampoo, conditioner and 2 treatment products. The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors for the Scalp and Multi-Peptide Hair Density.

We now have 3 cleansers to choose from. My personal favourite is the Glucoside Foaming Cleanser. It´s just so quick and easy to use. Removes all my make-up with no irritation, and my skin looks fresh. The other 2 are great, but this just works so well on my skin.

The Ordinary Primers

The Ordinary Primers - The Ordinary Products Page

Both primers are great, and both can be worn with or without makeup. My favourite is the silicone primer. It works so well under my makeup, leaving a flawless finish, and my make-up lasts all day.
