When it comes to skincare, there is one brand in particular that sticks out in my mind as a game changer in the industry – and that’s The Ordinary. The Ordinary burst on to the market in 2016 with simple, no-nonsense formulas that completely revolutionised the way we see caring for our skin.
The products are known for being affordable, but we’ve spotted a deal that is absolutely unmissable at LookFantastic. Right now, shoppers can pick up the The Ordinary’s Firm and Plump Collection for better than half price.
The firming and plumping collection typically retails for £29.40, but LookFantastic has slashed the price of the trio of products to just £13.50. That’s a total saving of £15.90. Plus, one of the product retails for more than the cost of the bundle itself, which means you’re basically getting the two other products for virtually free – or each product works out at £4.50.

The Ordinary’s Firm and Plump collection contains threes ‘brilliant’ anti-ageing products that have been hailed as super ‘effective’ at rewinding the clock by those who have already tried the products. The trio features the brand’s popular Multi-Peptide + HA Serum (£15.90), the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (£7.40) serum and the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 30ml moisturiser (£6.10).
The hero product in the three-piece skincare ritual is, of course, the Multi-Peptide + HA Serum. The product, which has been formulated to target multiple signs of ageing, is said to improve the appearance of skin’s smoothness, elasticity and firmness.
The universal formula utilises peptide technologies, amino acids and multiple hyaluronic acid complexes. It hydrates and visibly plumps to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet, for a more youthful and refreshed look.
At LookFantastic, the Multi-Peptide + HA Serum has racked up an impressive star-rating of 4.3 out of five from over 60 reviews. One shopper said: “This is my second bottle of this serum, I love it. It makes a huge difference to my skin, it is incredibly light and isn’t sticky at all. I’ll definitely order it again, another huge winner from The Ordinary.”
A second wrote: “I’ve only used for a couple of weeks so far and can already see a massive improvement in my skin texture. I have very dry/red skin and this has made it much softer.”
A third penned: “Peptides are such an important skincare ingredient and this is an effective and cheap option. My skills feels bouncy and hydrated. I use once or twice a day. I love that it’s not sticky but in any case I spray my face with thermal water beforehand which aids absorption of skincare.”
One LookFantastic customer gave the serum a three-star review because they ‘didn’t notice a difference’ to their skin, however. They wrote: “I know they say you need to use something new for at least six to eight weeks before you see a difference. I’ve used this for a couple of months now and I can’t say it’s made a noticeable difference. It’s good value and goes on well but don’t think it is actually doing anything for me.”
The other products in the trio, the Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 30ml moisturiser, aren’t to be sniffed, at either. The moisturiser is a lightweight cream infused with amino acids, fatty acids and ceramides to soften and sooth the skin.
The Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml, which is enriched with a 0.2% concentration of retinol, is said to deliver visible pluming and firming effects to your skin. That’s because retinol is a gold standard ingredient when it comes to anti-ageing as it not only reduces the appearance of pores and dark circles, but works to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as helping to improve the overall appearance of the skin’s texture.
Elsewhere, beauty buffs can pick up the The Skincare Edit gift set from Boots for £24.99. It contains over £116-worth of skin and bodycare products from top brands such as Pixi, Weleda, No7 Laboratories, Vichy and more. At Sephora, the Clinique Cult Classics Skincare and Makeup Gift Set, which is worth £61, is available for £35.
