The Ordinary Serum Favorites Set — 3-piece 1 fl oz Hydrating, Brightening & Pore-Minimizing Serums

The Ordinary Serum Favorites Set is a three-piece collection of bestselling 1 fl oz serums designed to hydrate, balance oil and target under-eye concerns with concentrated actives.

Compact and travel-ready, this kit brings together three of The Ordinary’s most-requested formulas: Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 for multi-depth hydration, Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for oil control and skin clarity, and Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG formulated for the eye area. Each serum is water-light and formulated to layer into most skincare routines, making this set a simple way to sample core actives without committing to full sizes.

How do these serums fit into a daily routine?

Use these serums after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils. Hyaluronic Acid is applied to slightly damp skin to attract moisture; Niacinamide can be used morning and night to address shine and uneven texture; the Caffeine Solution is gently tapped around the orbital bone.

• apply on clean, damp skin for best hyaluronic performance
• use niacinamide after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer
• pat caffeine serum around eyes, avoid direct contact with eyes
• layering order: water-based serums → treatment serums → moisturizer

What skin concerns can I expect these formulas to address?

These serums target different, complementary concerns: immediate and longer-lasting hydration, visible oil and pore appearance management, and targeted care for the delicate eye area. They are not treatments for medical conditions but can help improve surface texture and the look of tired skin when used consistently.

• hyaluronic acid: helps replenish surface and deeper skin hydration
• niacinamide + zinc: helps reduce the look of excess oil and pore prominence
• caffeine + egcg: supports brighter-looking under-eye skin and reduces puffiness appearance
• compatible with many other cosmetic ingredients when used correctly

Are these serums suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

Many people with combination or normal skin find this trio easy to incorporate; however, those with reactive or very sensitive skin should patch-test first. Niacinamide is generally well tolerated but high concentrations can cause temporary flushing in sensitive individuals.

• perform a patch test on inner forearm before full-face use
• introduce one serum at a time to monitor tolerance
• reduce frequency if you notice irritation or redness
• avoid mixing with acids or retinoids at the same time without guidance

How long before I see results and how should I store these serums?

Cosmetic improvements like smoother texture and reduced shine can appear within days to a few weeks, while more noticeable changes may take consistent use over several weeks. Store the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve potency, and keep caps tightly closed between uses.

• expect surface hydration benefits within days
• measure clearer texture and oil control over 4–8 weeks
• store out of heat and light to maintain stability
• discard if fragrance, color, or texture changes drastically

Who is this for: This set is ideal for skincare beginners wanting an entry point into actives, travelers seeking compact, effective serums, or anyone curious to trial The Ordinary’s core offerings without buying full sizes. It suits normal to combination skin types and those looking to add targeted hydration, oil-management, and under-eye support into an existing routine.
