About the brand

The Ordinary is an evolving collection of treatments offering familiar, effective clinical technologies positioned to raise pricing and communication integrity in skincare. The brand was created to celebrate integrity in its most humble and true form. Its offering is pioneering, not in the familiar technologies it uses, but in its honesty and integrity. The Ordinary is born to disallow commodity to be disguised as ingenuity. The Ordinary is "Clinical formulations with integrity". The Ordinary is a brand from DECIEM. We are an umbrella of brands focused on advanced functional beauty. Our team is specialized in materials chemistry and biochemistry, and we have brought pioneering innovation in skincare through NIOD. In the category of functional beauty, integrity is rare. Commonplace technologies are referred to as groundbreaking and insensible pricing strategies confuse the audience, disguising commodity technologies as advanced. The Ordinary exists to communicate with integrity and bring to market effective, more familiar technologies at honourable prices. The Ordinary takes pride in honesty, fights innovation stagnancy in the industry and indirectly celebrates the depth of innovation NIOD continues to bring to the category.

I have dry skin and this works good for me. Yes, it will leave your face looking and feeling greasy, it takes 20-30 for the shine to go down and the product to absorb, but I find this no worse than...

Behentrimonium Chloride 2% Conditioner

This is a VERY basic conditioner. Don't be expecting volume, repairing of split ends etc because it won't happen: the ingredients (all seven of them) are very basic and aren't capable of delivering...

Absolutely not as good as the newer NMF + beta glucan (as my reviews show, I love this for oily/acne-prone/sensitive skin). And not as moisturising as the phytoceramides one, if you're a dry skin...

I absolutely agree with the reviewer below; adding my 2c just to confirm that this isn't a good choice for anyone with combo/oily skin (I don't think it is anyway) - the beta-glucan is much, much...
