3. The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%
The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% - Highly concentrated antioxidant for youthful, protected skin. The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% is a powerful antioxidant serum that protects the skin from free radicals and environmental damage. The combination of high-dose resveratrol (3%) and ferulic acid (3%) works effectively against premature skin ageing, fine lines and hyperpigmentation, while the complexion appears more even and radiant. Why antioxidants such as resveratrol and ferulic acid are so important: Daily environmental exposures such as UV rays and air pollution lead to oxidative stress, which accelerates skin aging. Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant from grapes, and ferulic acid, known from anti-ageing research, neutralise this damage and support the skin's natural regeneration.
4. The Ordinary Mandelic Acid
The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA - Gentle exfoliation for radiant and even skin.

With 10% mandelic acid (AHA) and hyaluronic acid-based moisturiser, this serum removes dead skin cells without causing irritation - ideal for sensitive skin. What makes mandelic acid so special? Mandelic acid is one of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), but has a larger molecular structure than other acids such as glycolic or lactic acid. As a result, it acts more slowly and gently, while still being effective against uneven, dull skin and fine lines.

8. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution
A gentler solution for blemish-prone skin and uneven texture. Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous is a gentle formula that exfoliates the skin, decongests pores, smoothes texture irregularities and reduces redness and uneven skin tone. What sets this formula apart from our other salicylic acid products is its squalane-based emollient base and moisturising polyglycerides.
