This curated selection from The Ordinary features three of the brand’s most iconic “functional beauty” products, emphasizing transparency and high-concentration active ingredients.Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution: A potent exfoliating toner that targets the skin surface to improve clarity and visible texture. With continued use, it helps even out skin tone and provides a gentle glow.Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%: A high-strength vitamin and mineral blemish formula.

This ensures hydration penetrates multiple layers of the skin, supported by Vitamin B5 for enhanced surface moisture.Together, these products form a comprehensive regimen for those looking to address dullness, textural irregularities, and dehydration using science-backed ingredients.MADE IN CANADAKey Responsibilities (Product Management/Curation)Regimen Design: Strategizing the safe application order of active ingredients (Exfoliation → Treatment → Hydration) to ensure maximum efficacy without irritation.Ingredient Analysis: Evaluating pH levels (e.g., ensuring the Glycolic Acid maintains its ~3.6 pH) and ingredient compatibility to prevent “pilling” or negative chemical interactions.Consumer Education: Providing clear guidance on sun sensitivity—specifically emphasizing the need for SPF when using the Glycolic Acid toner.Quality Assurance: Monitoring packaging integrity and batch consistency for clinical-grade serums and solutions.Visual Merchandising: Presenting the products in a clean, minimalist aesthetic that aligns with the “Clinical Formulations with Integrity” brand identity.
