THE ORDINARY PRESENTS NEW BODY CARE PRODUCTS, ENCOURAGING TO TREAT THE SKIN OF THE BODY IN THE SAME WAY AS THE FACE

Using The Ordinary’s favourite ingredients and introducing a new one is a logical step to develop three new body products. The launch includes the Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum, the Niacinamide 5% Face & Body Emulsion and the Natural Moisturising Factors + Inulin Body Lotion. All products are suitable for all skin types and skin colours.

The Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is a light exfoliating serum designed to improve skin clarity by targeting clogged pores, smoothing skin texture, and reducing the appearance of blemishes.

Responding to the request of their customers, The Odrinary introduces a new, 5% concentration of Niacinamide. The Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion provides more radiant skin and smoothes the texture of the face and body. With regular use, it specifically combats dark spots for a brighter, more even complexion. The formula is suitable for sensitive skin and also for use on hands, neck, chest, arms, and legs.

The Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion is a new body moisturiser enriched with inulin, a prebiotic ingredient that has been shown to support the skin’s natural microbiome by promoting the hydration of the skin barrier.

The Ordinary’s new Body Care product line will be available on theordinary.com from the 6th of August.
