Being basic is good — when it comes to skincare.

Take The Ordinary, for example. Since emerging on the scene in 2016, it’s been loved for its straightforward ingredients, often only containing an active or two, with formulas rarely costing more than $25.

As someone who’s been using the brand since its inception, I can tell you that products are rarely on sale on Amazon — believe me, I’m always checking — so it really does feel like Prime in March to find that two of the most popular items are 15% off when purchased together.

More than 3,000 shoppers have added The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 to their cart. Here’s why: they’re less than $17 and are a skincare power couple. For acne scars and uneven texture, the peeling solution is a not-so-secret weapon, purging clogged pores and smoothing out those pesky little bumps that seem to look even bigger when you’ve applied a face of makeup.

And of course, you need something to hydrate your skin, which is where the hyaluronic acid comes in. It’s water-based, plumps and leaves skin looking refreshed.

By themselves, they’re essentials. Together, they’re dangerously powerful, and now you can get them for $17. Of all of the things discounted for the Big Spring Sale (going from now to March 31), it’s one of my favorite deals.

By now, most of us know the importance of having hyaluronic acid in our skincare regimen, and this one from The Ordinary is a personal favorite. It uses five forms of the ingredient to hydrate multiple layers of skin, plus it has ceramides to nourish the skin barrier while using vitamin B5 to lock in moisture even further. I love how lightweight it is and how fast it absorbs, making my skin look plumper and more awake.

Physical exfoliants can’t dig deep into pores to significantly resurface skin texture the way chemical exfoliants can, and The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is famous for its ability to create smoother, brighter skin.

Its alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acid (BHAs) fight pore congestion while improving the look of hyperpigmentation and scars — honestly, if you’re a recovering face picker, you want this.

It hurts a little (I mean, hello, it’s loaded with acids), but you’ll get use to the sting in one minute. Seriously, I’ve timed it.

You only need to use it up to three times a week for 10 minutes, and once you see how much softer and brighter your face is, you’ll stick with it. I know skin texture is normal and everybody has it, but mine has improved so much that I don’t need to facial tune for up close shots anymore. This is basically your alternative to lasers when lasers are not in your budget.

And as I said before, I’m not the only one who loves this duo. Thousands of Amazon shoppers recommend it. “Best skin care system, especially for mature skin like mine,” wrote one 47-year old customer, who credited the products for helping her hormonal acne from menopause. “This really cleared my skin,” she stated. Another wrote:

“After just a few uses, my skin looked noticeably brighter and smoother, with improved texture and reduced appearance of pores. It helps unclog pores, smooths out rough patches, and gives my skin a healthy glow. I especially noticed a difference in congestion around my nose and chin.”
