What this page covers

The Ordinary is a Canadian brand launched in 2016 by the Toronto company DECIEM (now part of The Estée Lauder Companies). The idea is straightforward: actives at stated concentrations, technical names printed on the label, and low prices. That is where names like "Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%" or "Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5" come from – you can read what is inside and at what strength before you buy.

The range is built around single actives and short formulas. Serums with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and retinol derivatives, acid products such as the overnight AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, facial oils and basic care. Most items are vegan and many are fragrance-free. This approach made the brand a reference point for people who choose skincare by ingredient list rather than by claims on the box.

This page collects The Ordinary products with their INCI lists parsed out. For every ingredient, Evigrade shows an evidence-based rating (a traffic-light signal and an A–F tier) plus notes on use during pregnancy. Evigrade is an independent ingredient reference, not a shop and not a substitute for professional advice: you can check what a formula actually contains and decide for yourself.
