These are the best-selling The Ordinary skincare products in Singapore

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, $13.70

1/9

Hyaluronic acid is probably one of the most popular skincare ingredients. It is said to have the ability to hold a thousand times its weight in water, thus making it beloved for its plumping and hydrating properties. This formula contains the acid in low-, medium- and high-molecular weights to penetrate multiple layers of the skin to ensure it looks bouncy and healthy.

Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, From $11.66

2/9

Natural Moisturizing Factors are a group of naturally occurring humectants (ie they draw water from the air to hydrate the topmost layer of skin). Made up primarily of amino acids, ceramides, and lipids they are integral to the functioning of a healthy skin barrier. Consequently, this moisturiser is made with these ingredients that help keep skin elastic and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. It’s also oil free.

High-Adherence Silicone Primer, $9.62

3/9

For those with textured skin, a silicone primer can help even out the complexion. This hydrating blurring primer has a non-greasy feel and leaves a matte finish. You can also use it after your sunscreen on no-makeup days.

Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, $16.26

4/9

An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid works to chemically exfoliate dead skin cells and improve radiance over time. This toner has been formulated with a derivative of the Tasmanian Pepperberry, which is said to reduce any irritation from acid use. Since AHAs can increase photosensitivity, it’s always best to use sunscreen the following day.

Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, $13.70

5/9

Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside or EGCG is derived from green tea leaves. Used in conjunction with caffeine, the serum is said to be able to help reduce puffiness and the appearance of dark circles around the eye contour.

Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%, $11.56

6/9

Vitamin C is a highly-raved skincare ingredient that can help with improving hyperpigmentation and radiance. Unfortunately, the antioxidant is highly unstable, especially in a formulation containing water. The Ordinary has managed to create a waterless formula, which means the product can be efficacious for longer periods. As this has a higher percentage of vitamin C, those who are using it for the first time can expect some tingling after application.

"Buffet", $26.99,

7/9

As the name suggests, the “Buffet” contains a whole host of peptide complexes—11 to be exact. The various amino acids work in together with probiotics and multiple hyaluronic acids to provide hydration and to stave off signs of ageing.

Lactic Acid 10% + HA, $13.70, From Shopee

8/9

For those who find glycolic acid too harsh, lactic acid is a good AHA alternative. Moreover, lactic acid has humectant properties, which are amplified with the addition of hyaluronic acid in this formulation.

Squalane Cleanser, $13.19

9/9

The Squalane Cleanser acts as a makeup remover balm. Dispense an adequate amount onto dry hands and warm it up for at least 10 seconds. Then, massage it onto dry face to allow the squalane and lipophilic esters to break down makeup and sunscreen without stripping the skin. Emulsify with water, rinse it off and finish with a second cleanse.
