The Mini Icons Set

Product Overview

Brighten, smooth, and hydrate your skin wherever you go with The Ordinary The Mini Icons Set. This curated trio brings together three of our most-loved "hero" formulations in convenient miniature sizes, making it the perfect travel companion or introduction to clinical skincare. Designed to target dullness, dryness, and textural irregularities, this set provides a complete evening routine. As an added bonus, it includes a set of our complimentary reusable cotton pads, allowing for a more sustainable application of our iconic exfoliating toner while being gentle on the environment.

Key Benefits

• 3-Step Power Regimen: Combines exfoliation, oil-balancing, and multi-depth hydration in one simple kit.
• Eco-Conscious Application: Includes reusable cotton pads to reduce waste and support sustainable beauty habits.
• Instant Radiance: Glycolic Acid removes dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, more luminous complexion.
• Refined Skin Texture: Niacinamide and chemical exfoliation work together to smooth rough patches and bumps.
• Plumping Hydration: Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides provide immediate moisture and a visible plumping effect.
• Blemish Prevention: Niacinamide helps balance excess sebum and reduces the look of skin congestion.
• Barrier Support: Infused with Vitamin B5 and Ceramides to restore and lock in the skin’s moisture barrier.
• TSA-Friendly: All bottles are in miniature sizes, making them perfect for your carry-on luggage.
• All-In-One Solution: Targets the most common skin concerns—dryness and dullness—simultaneously.
• Clinically Proven Actives: Features high concentrations of AHA, Vitamin B3, and Hyaluronic Acid for real results.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

This set utilizes three distinct clinical technologies to transform skin health:

• 7% Glycolic Acid (Toner): An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells. This promotes natural cell turnover, resulting in a smoother, more light-reflective skin surface.
• Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (Serum): A high-concentration vitamin and mineral formula. Niacinamide improves skin radiance and strengthens the barrier, while Zinc PCA regulates excess sebum to keep the skin clear and matte.
• Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (Serum): A complex featuring five forms of Hyaluronic Acid alongside Ceramides. It draws moisture into multiple layers of the skin and "seals" it in, preventing the dehydration that leads to fine lines.

How to Use

Maximize your results by following this evening sequence:

1. Step 1 (Exfoliate): After cleansing, saturate a reusable cotton pad with Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner and sweep across the face and neck. Use once daily, ideally in the PM.
2. Step 2 (Balance): Apply a few drops of Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% to the entire face.
3. Step 3 (Hydrate): Once the Niacinamide is dry, follow with Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 to plump and hydrate.
4. Seal: Finish with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the treatment.
5. Sun Protection: Always apply SPF the following morning, as Glycolic Acid can increase sun sensitivity.

FAQ

Q: Can I use the Glycolic Toner every day?
A: We recommend starting 2-3 times a week and gradually increasing to once daily (PM) if your skin tolerates it well. If you have very sensitive skin, use it less frequently.

Q: How do I clean the reusable cotton pads?
A: Simply wash them with warm water and a gentle soap after use, or place them in a small mesh bag and include them in your regular laundry cycle. Allow them to air dry completely.

Q: Is this set safe for acne-prone skin?
A: Yes! Niacinamide and Glycolic Acid are excellent for managing congestion and pores, while the Hyaluronic Acid ensures your skin stays hydrated without clogging pores.

Q: Why should I use the Glycolic Toner at night?
A: AHAs remove the top layer of dead skin, making the fresh skin underneath more vulnerable to UV rays. Using it at night minimizes immediate sun exposure.

Q: Can I take these bottles on an airplane?
A: Yes, all products in The Mini Icons Set are designed to meet international liquid carry-on requirements.
