The WORST and BEST products by The Ordinary | Doctor's Honest Review

The BEST and WORST products from The Ordinary—A Cosmetic Doctor’s Honest Review 🩺✨

With so many products to choose from, The Ordinary can be overwhelming—and not everything lives up to the hype. In this video, I break down what works and what doesn’t, so you don’t waste your time (or money).

🚫 The Worst Products:
1️⃣ AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution: Strong isn’t always better—this can wreck your skin barrier if overused.
2️⃣ Glycolic Acid: Way too harsh for most skin types, especially at 7%.
3️⃣ Squalane Cleanser: Doesn’t cleanse effectively and feels too oily for me.
4️⃣ Hyaluronic Acid: Overhyped and sticky; there are better hydrating serums out there.
5️⃣ Niacinamide 10% + Zinc: Often irritating and can leave your skin feeling tight.

🌟 The Best Products:
1️⃣ Multi-Peptide Eye Serum: Targets fine lines and dark circles beautifully.
2️⃣ Alpha Arbutin: A must-have for hyperpigmentation—brightens without irritation.
3️⃣ Mandelic Acid: Gentle yet effective for smoothing texture and fading dark spots.
4️⃣ Soothing Barrier Serum: Perfect for repairing your skin barrier after over-exfoliation or irritation.

✨ In this deep dive, I explain why some products are must-haves while others are better left on the shelf. Whether you’re new to The Ordinary or a skincare junkie, this video will help you curate the best routine for your skin.
