Social media is loud and we know with every new launch it can be tempting to expand your regimen. But skin is an organ, and it’s still developing during teenage years. And sometimes less really is more. So we wanted to take a moment to share guidance straight from our lab - for those of you just stepping into skincare:
1) Use a non-stripping cleanser
2) Follow with a hydrating moisturizer
3) Protect skin with a sunscreen
4) Avoid ingredients like retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids at the start of your skincare journey
If skin concerns do arise, we recommend consulting with a physician or dermatologist.
No need for a complex 10-step routine, or hefty price tags.
For the very first time—take The Ordinary with you. Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm is here. 👄
Formulated to provide immediate, long-lasting hydration and skin barrier support.
We found your next lip balm at theordinary.com 🤍
Using retinol in your routine? You might love our Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 for a boost of hydration.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 helps hydrate and plump the skin, while Retinal 0.2% Emulsion evens out the appearance of uneven skin texture and tone.
Tip: Our Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is for experienced users of retinoids. So, if you’re a newbie, opt for our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol 0.2% in Squalane instead. ✨
Sun’s out. So keep your routine summer-ready ☀️
While sunnier weather is great for your mood, it’s not always great for your skin. Many of you use direct acids or retinoids as part of your daily routine.These ingredients can make skin more sensitive to UV exposure, so make sure you’re applying your SPF regularly, and avoiding unprotected UV exposure as much as you can. 😎

Pride is not a moment, a day, or a month. Pride is about the freedom to be our authentic selves at all times.
We support the right of every human to show up unapologetically as who they are, and to live without fear for simply being.
That’s why, since 2020, we’ve provided over $700,000 in donations and support to non-profit organizations that celebrate, and advocate for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community globally. And this year, we’re extra excited to share that we will be partnering with @pridetoronto and @friendsofruby.ca during Toronto’s Pride weekend festivities June 28-30th. If you’re in Toronto, come visit our booth or join us during the parade.
We can’t wait to see you there 🤗
