Product Description:

• An introduction to The Ordinary featuring miniature sizes of our regimen essentials.

Suited to

• All Skin Types

 Product Specifications:

• The Mini Discovery Set is the ideal place to begin with The Ordinary. It features miniature sizes of some of our most popular formulations for a complete skincare regimen. The set includes a cleanser, exfoliating toner, face serums, an eye serum and a moisturizer, which can be used together in a daily regimen.


• Squalane Cleanser is a moisturizing cleanser that helps dissolve makeup, dirt and impurities. The balm-like texture includes squalane - a well-studied moisturizing ingredient - and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft as it dissolves makeup. The formulation is suitable for all skin types, and can be used twice daily.


• Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a daily AHA exfoliating toner that exfoliates skin surface, for smoother, brighter-looking skin. The formulation contains a 7% concentration of glycolic acid, and helps to boost skin radiance as well as promoting more even-looking skin, making it suitable for those with concerns around dullness or uneven tone.


• Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a universal serum that helps smooth the feel of skin texture and visibly brighten skin tone. The formulation includes a high concentration of niacinamide, complemented by zinc PCA, and also helps reduce the appearance of excess shine.


• Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is our most-loved hydration serum, offering instant hydration and plumping. The lightweight formulation contains five forms of hyaluronic acid, pro-vitamin b5 and ceramides, and helps replenish skin’s hydration levels, while also helping the skin retain moisture to replump dry, dehydrated skin.


• Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG is a depuffing eye serum that helps brighten tired eyes. With a 5% concentration of caffeine combined with a highly-purified EGCG, the formulation helps brighten the appearance of dark circles around the eye area, while also reducing the look of puffiness.


• Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA is a daily moisturizer, suitable for all skin types, that works with your skin to support its natural hydration barrier. By using a collection of ingredients that appear naturally in your skin - such as amino acids, phospholipids and hyaluronic acid - this cream keeps the outer layer of your skin protected and well-hydrated, without feeling greasy.


• To use the formulations together in a regimen, cleanse morning and evening with Squalane Cleanser, and in the evening follow with Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner. After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and once dry follow with a few drops of Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. Apply a small amount of Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG to the eye contour, and finish your regimen with a small about of Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.
