The Ordinary is a skincare brand that offers a variety of serums and other products. Here are some details about a few of their serums:
-
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion: This serum contains solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (retinoid esters) and an encapsulated retinol (0.1%) for a combined 2% weight concentration. It also contains Tasmanian Pepperberry Extract to help reduce inflammation and redness, but also for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
-

Positive aspects of The Ordinary serums include their affordable price point and the ability to tailor products to suit individual skin needs. Negative aspects may include the need to do a patch test for most products to determine if there will be any negative initial reactions.
