For the skin

Popular skincare brand The Ordinary celebrates the science of giving by matching products to a loved one’s skin concerns.

For instance, The Clear Set offers a three-step regimen formulated for those with blemish-prone skin. It features Glucoside Foaming Cleanser, Salicylic Acid 2% Solution and Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan.

The others are The Cleanser Discovery Set, The Lash & Brow Duo, The Power of Peptides and The Most-Loved Set.

The Ordinary is available at Sephora. For more details, visit here.
