Products like Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% can help to minimize excess oils and reduce the appearance of pores, while products like Salicylic Acid 2% Solution help exfoliate within the pores to remove dead skin cells that can lead to clogged pores.

How can The Ordinary keep my skin hydrated throughout the year?
Yes. The Ordinary has targeted solutions ideal for skin-hydration.
To keep skin hydrated it's important to use a combination of hydrators to increase the skins water content and emollients (oils or oil-like ingredients) to help seal water inside. Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are both great ingredients to help promote hydration and support the barrier. They can be found within products like Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Emollients can be used alone, like 100% plant-derived squalane, or can be ingredients found within moisturisers like ceramides or lipids that are found within our Natural Moisturizing Factors moisturisers.
How to maintain a healthy skin barrier with The Ordinary?
Firstly, it's best to select a gentle, non-stripping cleanser that can effectively cleanse and remove makeup while respecting the skin barrier.
Secondly, opt for products with ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help keep skin hydrated and support the skin barrier.
Lastly, chose a moisturiser that is right for you, to help seal everything in and protect against moisture loss. It's also important to ensure SPF application daily, and avoid over-exfoliation which can damage the skin barrier and lead to signs of irritation.
The Ordinary is an evolving collection of treatments offering familiar, effective clinical technologies positioned to raise pricing and communication integrity in skincare. The Canadian brand was created to celebrate integrity in its most humble and true form with iconic formulas enriched with transforming ingredients like niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, which works to brighten skin tone and improve the appearance of enlarged pores, while zinc supports skin barrier function.
Emphasizing innovation, The Ordinary also offers peptide-rich formulations like the Multi-Peptide + HA Serum. This multi-technology peptide serum targets multiple signs of aging, using a potent blend of peptides, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid to promote collagen production and skin elasticity. Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner showcases The Ordinary's commitment to effective exfoliation. This alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) toning solution gently exfoliates the skin to reveal a brighter, more even complexion, helping to improve skin texture and clarity. The brand's philosophy centres on functional beauty and transparency, making high-quality skincare accessible to everyone. Through clinical formulations with integrity, The Ordinary continues to transform skincare routines across the globe.
