"The Ordinary's Holiday Gift Sets Hit Malaysia From RM58"
Skincare is an easy gift to get wrong. Buy the wrong active for someone's skin and it sits unused in a drawer. The Ordinary's holiday line-up tries to take the guesswork out, with six ready-made sets built around a single skin need each, so you can match the gift to the person rather than guessing at a routine.
The Ordinary, the low-cost clinical skincare brand, has framed its Holiday 2026 collection around what it calls "Science, Delivered", leaning on the no-frills positioning it is known for. In plain terms, these are curated bundles of the brand's existing formulas, grouped by what they are meant to do and priced from RM58.
The six holiday sets, and what is inside
Each set pairs a few of The Ordinary's formulas around one goal. Here is the full line-up with Malaysian pricing:
- The Target & Treat Set, RM58: Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate (5ml) and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (15ml), aimed at excess oil, clogged pores and the redness that comes with blemishes.
- The Hyaluronic Acid Set, RM60: a full-size and a mini Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (30ml and 15ml), a hydration pairing for home and travel.
- The Mini Essentials Set, RM72: travel-size Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and the Soothing & Barrier Support Serum (15ml each), for hydrating, brightening and barrier support on the go.
- The Sensitive Skin Set, RM101: the Glucoside Foaming Cleanser (50ml), Soothing & Barrier Support Serum (15ml) and Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion (60ml), built around calming and barrier repair.
- The Renewal Set, RM148: Squalane Cleanser (50ml), GF 15% Solution (30ml), Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (30ml) and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (30ml), aimed at visible signs of ageing.
- The Most Loved Set, RM274: a five-step regimen of the Squalane Cleanser (50ml), Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (100ml), Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (60ml), Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (60ml) and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (50ml).
How to pick the right one
The sets are organised by skin concern rather than by product type, which makes the shortlist easier. For someone who runs oily or breaks out, the Target & Treat Set is the entry point at RM58. For dry or dehydrated skin, the Hyaluronic Acid Set keeps it simple. The Sensitive Skin Set leans on soothing and barrier repair, while the Renewal Set and the five-piece Most Loved Set are the fuller routines for anyone who already enjoys a multi-step regimen.
If the gift is for a first-timer, the Mini Essentials Set is the low-commitment option: three travel sizes that cover hydration, brightening and barrier care without asking anyone to buy into a full-size bottle of something they may not reach for.
The Ordinary has built its name on naming actives plainly and pricing them low, and we have covered that approach before: our look at the brand's Lacto PDRN eye serum and its HA + Asiaticoside lip treatment both show how it tends to package one hero ingredient per product.
Where to buy
The holiday sets are available through The Ordinary's official Malaysian TikTok Shop, @theordinarystoremy, and the brand's own site at theordinary.com. As with any seasonal bundle, stock on gift sets tends to move faster than the individual products, so the pricier multi-step sets are worth grabbing early if they are on your list.
The takeaway
There is nothing flashy here, and that is rather the point. Six sets, each built around one clear skin need, priced from RM58 to RM274. It is skincare gifting reduced to a single decision: pick the concern, and the bundle is already put together.
