Launched in 2016 as part of the Deciem group, The Ordinary has become known for offering high-quality skin care products at prices anyone can afford. Covering a wide range of skin problems and needs, there’s something at The Ordinary for everyone. Check out our top picks of their products, all available on The Ordinary at KSFBeauty Singapore.
Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%
This skin serum from The Ordinary combines pure vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid) with alpha arbutin for a one-two punch of skin brightening. This serum is perfect to use just after your toner and works to reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone.
The Ordinary has formulated this serum without water, which is important as the key ingredients are less stable in water. The serum is also oil-free and is appropriate for all skin types.
Salicylic Acid 2% Masque
This salicylic acid solution, combined with charcoal and clay to maximize the impact of the masque, enhances the smoothness and clarity of the skin. The rinse-off formula helps deeply cleanse the skin while removing pore-clogging facial impurities. With a 2% concentration, this solution is your answer to blemishes or problem skin. Please note that this solution is an acid and shouldn’t be used on sensitive or peeling skin. Also, you’ll want to make sure you are vigilant about sun care when using this product.
100% Cold-Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil
This cold-pressed, organic oil is a perfect oil for you if you’re new to using oils in your skincare routine. Rosehip seeds contain fatty acids linoleic acid, linolenic acid, as well as pro-vitamin A and offer a multitude of benefits for your skin. Rosehip seed oil locks in moisture, so use it after everything in your routine except an extra coat of moisturizer. This oil is known to boost collagen and reduce inflammation and helps heal scars.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid solution uses a variety of molecular weights in order to give the solution maximum penetration power, leading to multi-depth hydration and healing for the skin. While many other HA products only give temporary top-level hydration, The Ordinary’s formula is made to penetrate to bring true, long-lasting moisturization to the skin. The addition of vitamin B5 also supports surface hydration.
Buffet by The Ordinary
True to its name, The Ordinary’s “Buffet” offers your skin an impressive list of ingredients, targeting issues like dry skin, aging, and dullness all at once. The Ordinary describes Buffet as that it “combines Matrixyl™ 3000 peptide complex (with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7), Matrixyl™ synthe’6™ peptide complex (with palmitoyl tripeptide-38), SYN™-AKE peptide complex (with dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate), ARGIRELOX™ peptide complex (with acetyl hexapeptide-8, pentapeptide-18), and Probiotic complex (with lactococcus lactis lysate), in a base of 11 skin-friendly amino acids and multiple hyaluronic acid complexes. The total concentration of these technologies in the formula by weight is 25.1%.” Appropriate for both morning and evening skincare, this serum is best applied just after toner.
