There’s no denying that a lot of editor- and expert-approved skincare picks run pricey, at times making the cost of your morning routine equivalent to that of the “It” bag you’ve been eyeing. While we typically don’t mind shelling out for a product when it’s packed with top-tested ingredients, it’s always nice to find affordable skincare brands that actually work. Luckily, in case you didn't know, editor-approved products from The Ordinary are available on Amazon, making it easy to score skincare gems for $20 and under while you tackle your other shopping—like adding the best white tee to cart.
Known for its budget-friendly serums, cleansers, and solutions, you’ve probably seen products from The Ordinary flooding your social media feeds, thanks to their effective formulas and palatable price point. Although The Ordinary features a vast selection on its Amazon storefront, we’ve narrowed it down to an array of bestsellers and editor-approved products that will easily refresh your daily skincare routine.
For a versatile product that not only transcends skin type, but can be used beyond the face, opt for this Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution. “Glycolic acid is one of those miracle skincare ingredients that benefits every skin type,” says beauty director Jenna Rosenstein, adding that it can be used on your scalp or armpits. “This toner helps clear congestion in pores, brighten dark spots, and smooth rough texture. You should always have a bottle of this handy in your bathroom.”
Board-certified dermatologist Ava Shamban recommends The Ordinary’s Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% for an affordable Vitamin C serum that brightens and protects the skin without relying on “bells and whistles.” Plus, Bazaar beauty editors love The Ordinary’s bestselling Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum for plumping fine lines and making skin look dewy and fresh. The best part? It starts at a surprisingly affordable $10.
