Effective, Straightforward Acne Routine with Noticeable Results
The Ordinary Acne Set is a well-formulated, ingredient-driven regimen that delivers targeted results without unnecessary additives or inflated pricing. It’s a practical three-step system for acne-prone or congestion-prone skin that focuses on barrier support and inflammation control. Azelaic Acid – Noticeable Anti-Inflammatory Benefits The Azelaic Acid Suspension is the standout product in this set. Azelaic acid is well-documented for helping reduce inflammation, minimize redness, and improve post-acne hyperpigmentation. In my experience, active breakouts appear visibly calmer by the next morning, with reduced redness and flattening of inflamed areas. With consistent use, it also supports smoother skin texture and more even tone. The texture is slightly silicone-based, which helps it layer well under moisturizer, though it can feel lightly matte upon application. It integrates easily into both morning and evening routines. Cleanser – Effective Without Compromising the Barrier The cleanser removes excess oil and debris without leaving the skin tight or stripped. This is especially important for acne-prone skin, where over-cleansing can disrupt the moisture barrier and trigger additional oil production. My skin feels clean, balanced, and comfortable after use — not irritated or reactive. Overall System Performance The regimen feels intentionally formulated: Targets active blemishes Helps manage inflammation Supports clearer tone over time Maintains skin balance The absence of heavy fragrance and unnecessary fillers makes it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types as well. Pros: Rapid visible calming of active breakouts Supports reduction of redness and post-acne discoloration Non-stripping cleanser Affordable, clinically focused formulations Minimalist ingredient approach Cons: Azelaic Acid has a slightly silicone-like finish Requires consistent application for cumulative tone improvement Overall, this is a well-structured, cost-effective acne regimen that performs comparably to higher-priced clinical brands. It’s especially well-suited for those looking to address inflammation and uneven tone without compromising skin barrier integrity. Would repurchase and continue incorporating into my routine.

Amazing skincare set for clearer skin
I’ve been using this skincare set for a few weeks and I’m really impressed with the results. My skin feels smoother, cleaner, and much less oily. The products are gentle on the skin and easy to use, even for sensitive skin. I noticed fewer breakouts and my skin tone looks more even. The packaging is also very nice and the size of the products is perfect.

Love this set! Affordable and effective!
Great set of skincare. The great things about “The Ordinary” brand is that the products are affordable and work amazingly well. It was a blessing for me to find a complete set at such great price when I needed it the most. I have been using it for almost a week now and it has helped brighten the dark spots in my cheeks already. I have oily skin, so I appreciate that the products are lightweight and fast absorbing and give you a nice glow to your skin.

Acne Set
I really loved this set! It seemed to work well for the first few months had it. However, the serum irritates my skin, and after I use it my face gets itchy and swollen. That could just be me but if you have sensitive skin I would be careful with it. The other products in the set worked great and I have had any issues except for with the serum. Pretty great for the price and I love The Ordinary!

The Best Set Ever
This set is amazing. I’m 41 and have had cystic acne for most of my adult life. Nothing has worked for me consistently, not even Spironolactone. After only a few days, I saw a huge improvement in my skin. Not only was I not getting new pimples, the scars from older ones were less visible. My skin was clearer and brighter. I also added in the Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide with Zinc. The combo of all of these has been incredibly effective. Highly recommend

Pequenos
Son los pequenos, pense que la crema seria mas grande por que no especifica en ninguna parte y en la imagen se ve mayor. crema es de 30 ml y acido salicilico 30 ml. The ordinary es muy bueno, ya tengo tiempo usandolo y me gusta la sensacion que deja en la piel.
