The Guru Index verdict
Approved
✓Approved · 71%What the gurus are saying
The gurus praise The Ordinary for affordable, effective formulas that earned viral attention without marketing hype, and for keeping claims modest rather than overstating benefits like non-comedogenic status. The main thing to keep in mind: while each product costs $10 to $20, layering multiple formulas can add up to $80 to $120 quickly, so it helps to choose ones with actives at strengths potent enough to actually work for the individual's skin rather than buying the whole range.
