Getting into the realm of skincare isn’t as easy as a field of daisies. They are not as simple as they appear; just when you think you have understood the issue of one component, another half of hundreds remedies appear. Anyhow, apart from those countless beauty rituals, how familiar are you with adding acidic substances into your skincare regimen? 

Not that flammable acid that was used for hazardous effect, but rather acid that was found to cure and might possibly fix your skin concern? We were referring to the excellent sort of acids present in most The Ordinary products. This company is well-known for its very acidic skin treatment components, which are also quite inexpensive. 

And since the hype is behind The Ordinary now that they made it available in Sephora, Malaysia, what’s better than to celebrate them? From A-list celebs to beauty gurus to doctors, everyone loves this brand, including us at Beauty Insider. But what exactly makes them so unique? Let us investigate!

What Makes Ordinary Products So Good? 

Before we start, let’s talk about the reason this brand skyrocketed ever since its first launch a few years ago. What’s best is that they have literally any products made specifically according to your skin’s type. But other than that, what makes this brand a beauty-cult favourite? 

1.They’re Affordable

So one of the major reasons behind the popularity of this brand is how affordable and accessible their products are. Can you believe it? Most of their basic products cost only between RM40-RM60. In fact, the majority of it can be earned for less than RM80. Sure, there are a lot of other affordable brands that cost cheaper than the Ordinary, but how many of them can give us the outcomes we desire? Think about it.  

2. They Are *Aesthetically* Pleasing

Less is more, right? Simple but mighty, is the word we’re looking for when describing the Ordinary. What’s good about this brand is that you can see their table if ingredients are perfectly sealed at the back of each bottle manufactured. They look aesthetically pleasing, yet feel boujee at the same time. 

3. They Work Like Magic

Oh, believe us on this one. Every review that you come across online, all of them praise at how magical each one of the products are. Consumers will spend paragraph after paragraph describing their lives for the Ordinary and show they swear by these products. If you don’t believe them, why don’t you try them yourself and leave us a review? 

4. Suitable For Women and Men Alike

Okay, for certain brands they have these weird things where they focus on the ‘’For Women’’ & ‘’For Men’’ based type of product? Yeah, the Ordinary don’t do that. The Ordinary line created each product particularly targeted for both women and men alike. Including all types of skin concerns. No gender or skin types specific here. You are all welcome.
