The Ordinary vs OPTASE

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

The Ordinary and OPTASE are respected skincare lines offering distinct formulations for daily routines. The Canadian brand centers its serums, moisturizers, cleansers, and toners around hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and squalane to suit dry and sensitive skin best, while the second is deeply loved for its gentle makeup removers and soothing qualities that favor sensitive, dry, and irritated skin. Although both support calm routines, they differ in their core offerings, with the former featuring targeted acid and niacinamide treatments and the latter focusing on restorative makeup removal.

The Ordinary is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2016 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
