The Ordinary is an innovative, affordable brand with products that can address every type of skincare need or concern. But, with such a variety, it can lead to some confusion & being overwhelmed when trying to figure out what to buy. If you aren’t sure, I wanted to share my Top 5 products from The Ordinary today. Though everyone has different preferences when it comes to skincare, there are a few really amazing stand-out products from this brand that people really love. Some of these products are ones that I’m sharing and a few that I am sharing may not be talked about as often. But, they too are incredible. If you want to know the type of skin I have, in case it impacts my recommendations – I have chronically dry skin. Though I say that, since starting to use this brand several months back, my skin is in much better shape. I talk about that all and explain it all in the video. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will put links to the products that I mention, below the video here.
The products mentioned are listed here. Also, I will provide a couple of options for where you can purchase & the price varies from one site to another, but many are cheaper on Ulta.com.

Thank you….
I just bought all five at Ulta!

How often do you use glycolic acid? I have always been a little uncertain if I should be using the product a lot or just weekly. I am sure everyone is different, but how often do YOU use glycolic acid?
Hi Andrea! Sorry for the late reply. As of lately, I’ve just been doing glycolic peels sporadically. So I did a high strength glycolic peel yesterday, but due to being busy, I hadn’t done one in many months. So, if the peel is considered strong for your skin type, doing it every 2-4 weeks is pretty standard. If I were to use peeling pads that are lower strength for me (10-20%), I tend to do those once or twice a week. Sometimes I go weeks without using anything. But, I’d be fine using that once or twice a week. This is such a good question and kind of complicated to answer. I think I will do an upcoming video on this!
