Nothing ordinary about it…
I bought this for my 14 year old niece for Christmas and it was a big hit. Apparently The Ordinary is on all of my nieces’ Amazon wish lists, and I have no shortage of nieces. I see it pop up every time I check their lists for birthdays, Christmas, graduations, and every other buying holiday in between. When you’re a teenager, having clear, fresh looking skin is basically a top priority, and she was really excited to start using these. She’s been experimenting with different skincare lately, and so far this is the only brand that hasn’t caused her to break out, which is a pretty big win at 14. She said it feels light on the skin and leaves her face feeling clean and hydrated without being heavy or sticky.
And honestly, there’s nothing ordinary about this stuff except the name. It’s a great little starter set for someone getting into skincare, and judging by the reaction I got when she opened it, it also earned me favorite aunt status, which I’ll gladly take.
