The Ordinary's New Balancing & Clarifying Serum, She Said Keep It Simple
The Ordinary’s new Balancing & Clarifying Serum has hit the shelves—a one-step powerhouse designed to decongest your skin, keep those pores looking sharp, and tame that pesky oil slick.
Known for its no-nonsense approach to skincare, The Ordinary has always been about giving us the goods—simple, effective, and no fluff. This new serum is no different. It’s all about multi-pathway action, packing in powerful ingredients that target the root of your skin’s congestion woes. Think of it as your secret weapon in the battle for clearer, smoother skin.
“Skinimalism” is more than just a buzzword—#minimalskincare is racking up over 48 million views on TikTok—this serum is a dream come true. Who needs a 7-step routine when you can get the job done in just a few drops? This multi-active, blemish-busting formula tackles not one, not two, but seven skin concerns at once. Say goodbye to enlarged pores, oily shine, uneven texture, and post-blemish marks—this serum’s got it all covered.
Prudvi Kaka, The Ordinary’s Chief Scientific Officer, breaks it down: “We wanted to expand our range of innovations to include multi-active solutions that offer a multipathway approach to targeting overarching concerns in a simpler way.”
So, what exactly is congestion, you ask? It’s the stuff of skincare nightmares—textural irregularities, visible shine, blocked pores, and uneven skin tone. It’s caused by a nasty combo of excess sebum and dead skin cells clogging up your pores. But don’t worry, The Ordinary’s got your back.
The Balancing & Clarifying Serum comes loaded with a cocktail of 7 Skin-Clearing Technologies that work together to knock out congestion like a pro:
Uneven Texture: N-Acetyl Glucosamine takes the lead with surface-level exfoliation, smoothing out rough patches for that baby-soft feel.
Oil Control: Polylysine, L-carnitine, and Sarcosine team up to keep sebum levels in check, so you’re not shining like a disco ball by noon.
Pore Appearance: L-carnitine, Sarcosine, and Adenosine join forces to shrink the look of those pores, making them nearly invisible.
Post-Blemish Marks: All those ingredients work in harmony to fade that stubborn post-blemish redness.
Barrier Disruption and Dehydration: Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Ectoin step in to strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier, keeping it hydrated and happy.
Radiance: N-Acetyl Glucosamine is back again, giving your skin that lit-from-within glow.
With this serum, The Ordinary is making it easier than ever to simplify your skincare routine without sacrificing results. So, if you’re ready to leave behind the clutter and embrace the beauty of minimalism, this Balancing & Clarifying Serum is your new go-to. Get ready to glow like never before—your skin will thank you.
