As many skincare lovers know, The Ordinary is a one-stop shop for affordable, no-nonsense formulas. Whether you’re after a glycolic acid to exfoliate, a hyaluronic acid to hydrate or an affordable retinal to tackle fine lines – The Ordinary has you covered.
Its formulas cut out the premium filler, so you’ll see no fragrance or fancy packaging. Though that’s not to say they’re ineffective. On the contrary, The Ordinary funnels its budget into the areas that count: the hard-working ingredients.
And I’ve just found a trio from the brand that is no exception. Tackling the appearance of ageing on the skin from three angles, the aptly named plump and firm collection (was £29.40, now £23.31, Lookfantastic.com) uses peptides to stimulate collagen production, retinol to boost cell turnover and hyaluronic acid to quench dehydrated skin. Together, these products are a comprehensive solution to minimise signs of ageing. Though when it comes to preventing future wrinkles from forming, you’ll still need to rely on an SPF.
With 20 per cent off the bundle right now (and the dry climes of winter fast approaching), now’s a better time than ever to stock up. Scroll on to learn more and shop now.
