The Ordinary
The Ordinary has been showcasing its evolving skin care collections since 2016. The Ordinary products are crafted by a specialised team focusing on clinical formulations with integrity. Cult favourites like The Ordinary Glycolic acid, niacinamide, retinol, and hyaluronic acid are among a few products with high-quality, effective ingredients that target various skin concerns such as ageing and hydration.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
R429 vat incl.
Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 7% toning solution offers mild exfoliation for improved skin radiance and visible clarity. The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture with continued use.
This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in color seasonally and this color variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. The formula is further supported by the inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and skin-soothing benefits.
Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to the additional sun protection notes and other warnings in provided Directions.
The pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic Acid has a pKa of 3.6 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.
The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane
R299 vat incl.
This water-free solution contains 0.5% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of fine lines, photodamage, and general skin aging. While Retinol has been studied extensively, it is irritating to the skin and newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of Retinol without causing skin irritation. For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% instead of this formula.
The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% Lightweight Face Serum 30ml
R429 vat incl.
Anti-Aging: Targeting the Appearance of Dynamic Facial Lines.
Argireline Solution 10% offers an advanced formula targeting dynamic forehead, “eleven eye”, and smile lines in an effective, “non-injective” way. By incorporating a high concentration of Argireline , this lightweight serum improves the appearance of facial areas prone to deep-set lines, resulting in smoother, more relaxed skin.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml
R239 vat incl.
The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squaline
R259 vat incl.
This highly stable, water-free, high strength age-defying solution features 1% pure retinol. This special form of vitamin A has been proven to minimise fine lines, improve pigment problems, revitalise skin and make its overall appearance fresher and more youthful. As retinol can cause irritation, The Ordinary recommends beginning your regimen with lower concentrations to allow skin to build up tolerance.

Plus, it provides both immediate and lasting effects, as it works to significantly improve skin barrier function with regular use.
