The Ordinary by Skin Concern
Uneven Skin Tone and Dullness
Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% is The Ordinary's most popular product at Woolworths and one of the best-selling skincare products in South Africa. It is a water-based serum that targets visible pores, uneven tone, shine and early signs of congestion. Use it in the morning and evening after cleansing. The glycolic acid 7% exfoliating toner and the AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution also target dullness and uneven texture. The peeling solution is for experienced acid users only and should not be used more than twice a week.
Hydration
Hyaluronic acid 2% + B5 is a lightweight serum that uses three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to draw moisture into multiple layers of skin. It suits all skin types and sits well under moisturiser. The Natural Moisturising Factors + HA is a daily moisturiser that works with the skin's own hydration barrier using amino acids, ceramides, fatty acids and hyaluronic acid.
Ageing and Fine Lines
This multi-peptide eye serum is designed to target the eye area with a blend of peptides to support firmness and reduce the look of fine lines. The Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner supports skin renewal and texture over time.
Congestion and Breakouts
Salicylic acid 2% masque is a targeted treatment for congested skin. Salicylic acid penetrates the pores to clear impurities and reduce the appearance of blackheads and all blemishes. The Niacinamide 5% face and body emulsion extends the same pore-targeting benefits to the body.
Body Skincare
The salicylic acid 0.5% body serum treats breakouts and rough skin texture on the body. The Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion is a lightweight lotion for uneven skin tone on the face and body. These are best for anyone dealing with back, chest or arm congestion.
Oils and Facial Oils
The 100% organic cold pressed rose hip seed oil is a lightweight, multi-use oil rich in linoleic acid. It suits dry, dull or uneven skin and can be used as the last step in an evening routine or mixed into moisturiser.
How to Build a Routine with The Ordinary
The Ordinary products work best when layered correctly. These guidelines help you get started.
• Start with the basics. The Daily Set is the easiest entry point for new users. It includes the Squalane Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and Natural Moisturising Factors + HA. These three products form a solid everyday routine.
• Add one active at a time. Do not introduce multiple new actives at once. Start with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% if your main concern is tone and pores. Add acids or retinoids later once your skin has adjusted.
• Layer water-based products first. Apply water-based serums like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid before oils and creams. This helps each product absorb correctly.
• Do not mix conflicting ingredients. The Ordinary's AHA/BHA Peeling Solution should not be used on the same night as retinoids, direct vitamin C or copper peptides.
• Always use SPF in the morning. Acids and exfoliants increase sun sensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning when using any exfoliating product from The Ordinary range.
• Use the peeling solution with care. The AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is suitable only for experienced users. Use no more than twice a week, leave on for no longer than 10 minutes and rinse off thoroughly.
