Best moisturizer

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use it with squalene before applying a cream as additional moisturizing and it is just amazing. Much better than hyaluronic acid.

HOLY GRAIL

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This has become a staple in my routine. I use it every night and I always wake up with glowing skin. My wrinkles have definitely smoothed out a bit and my face has regained some elasticity. Highly recommend

Not for me

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I don't know if this formula is stronger than I thought or my skin is very sensitive, but the sensation after using it is absolutely unbearable, my skin turns red almost instantly, and the feeling of burn and tingly is very unpleasant, I don't think I'm going to repeat with this product.

Better than hyaluronic acid

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Ordinary products are great! Allowing you to tailor your skincare routine to your skin’s need. This product is highly hydrating, I use directly on my skin under moisturiser in the winter and in summer I add a couple of drops to my regular day and night cream. Amino Acids are an unsung hero. Can’t be without this product

No no no

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

Never ever again. I was impressed by reviews how amazing is for others, but just after couple of uses it caused huge painful break out of my skin. I understand that you cannot expect that it would suit to everyone, how ever have not even considered about how bad it could affect my skin.

Pleasantly surprised

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It’s the first water-based Ordinary product I have bought and was slightly sceptical. I purchased it because I was suffering with really dry skin around my nose and chin area and I’m only a week into using it but I love it and it’s worked wonders. I have tried a few new products of late because the dry skin thing was new to me but I use this daily and kinda wondering how I’ve managed for so long without it! Would recommend

Face syrum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I absolutely love this product. You only need two little drops to moisturise your face and neck and it leaves your skin so smooth and looks fresh and healthy. I have tried so many face syrumd in the past but this is definitely the best for my dry /combination skin and fantastic value for money.

One every girl needs

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Great benifits with this product, at first I had slightly flaky skin but that was because it was doing it's job and after a week that stopped. My skin looks younger already in 4 weeks.
