Squalane Cleanser
This plant-derived cleanser is a wonderful first step in the double-cleanse process as it is moisturizing and gentle while effective at removing makeup. It’s a good option for those with sensitive skin as it’s fragrance free. Now that it’s on sale there’s no other oil cleanser out there going to beat this price.
One shopper with sensitive skin said they’d tried other cleansers, but this was the only one that “leaves skin feeling clean and soft without drying it out.”
A simple-but-not-basic serum that you can’t go wrong with. This hyaluronic acid serum doesn’t just hydrate dull and dry skin, but it also smooths fine lines. It’s the perfect winter skincare addition.
One shopper even said that he bought this for himself since he “couldn’t steal it from his girlfriend” and that his skin is “radiant and supple” after using it.
Perhaps the most important part of any skincare routine: the moisturizer. This moisturizer formula is simple and hydrating. It has amino acids, ceramides, glycerine, and hyaluronic acid to improve your skin barrier and lock in all those active ingredients you’ve just layered underneath. The 30mL is also the perfect size to fit in your carry-on this holiday season.
Shoppers rave about this moisturizer being perfect “year round” and that it’s a “holy grail for sensitive skin”. With one shopper even calling it a “pure” moisturizer because of how simple it is. “Just healthy happy skin.”
This glycolic acid solution has made its way around TikTok more than once with users finding different ways to use this, from lightening hyperpigmentation, to a deodorant alternative, and even a scalp detox. Glycolic acid is a great AHA exfoliator for dullness, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. Plus, it draws water into the skin so it’s a great option for winter. However, since this is an exfoliator it’s important to moisturize and use sun protection.
Shoppers are obsessed with this product’s hyperpigmentation lightening abilities. With one saying that they were taking a selfie and realized they “didn’t need as much foundation as usual”.
This suspension is a great option for people dealing with hormonal acne, redness, or uneven skin texture. The azelaic acid works as a gentle exfoliator compared to other chemical exfoliants. Due to its formula it doesn’t pill which means you can layer your makeup on top.
One shopper said, “35 years on this earth and this is the best my skin has looked”. “Any little spot that pops up disappears in a day or two,” said another shopper.
Now for the most talked about, newest addition to The Ordinary. This lash and brow serum was viewed by 10M people in a video on TikTok, and has the most reviews of any of the other products on their site. This serum claims to be volumizing and promotes a thicker, fuller, and healthier look. It includes 11 active ingredients, including four peptides to volumize your lashes in as little as four weeks.
The product gives you natural looking lashes said one shopper, “You’ll notice enhanced results with mascara.” Another shopper shared that her hair stylist “even asked if I had gotten extensions”.
