The Ordinary is one of the buzziest skincare brands to date and is quickly dominating the skincare industry because of their significantly low price points. With prices ranging from $10 to $54, you’d be wondering if the quality of their products is being compromised. But that’s where you’re wrong. The line, known for their no B.S. approach, is heavily focused on their ingredients and formulas — which many skincare junkies appreciate especially if you’re picky about the products you’re incorporating into your skincare regime.
Now if you’ve seen their line of products, finding one to start with can be a little daunting especially with all the terms you may not be familiar with. Nevertheless, if you’re looking to try some of these products that beauty aficionados around the world swear by, then look no further. Here are some of the bestsellers.
1. Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
Glycolic Acid is best known for its exfoliating properties. When applied onto the face with a cotton pad, the toning solution removes impurities by mildly exfoliating the skin — improving the radiance and clarity of the complexion with each use.
However, an important thing to note: it’s best to avoid using this solution if you have sensitive or peeling skin.
