This week, October 26–November 2, 2026, TajPrice tracked The Ordinary prices across Iraqi stores. The lesson is simple: the same product can cost almost double depending on where you buy. Below are the ten products with the biggest cross-store price spreads this week, ranked by spread. Prices are in IQD and are the lowest and highest we found at update time; stock and prices can change, so verify before checkout.
What the spread means: A higher spread means a bigger gap between the cheapest and most expensive store. That gap is your potential saving if you compare. For example, a 100% spread means the top price is about twice the lowest price.
1. 
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser - 150ml — Best price 20,500 IQD, available at 3 stores, range 20,500–44,000 IQD, spread 114.6%. Potential difference: 23,500 IQD. This is a gentle cleanser that removes makeup and impurities while hydrating. If you want a non-stripping cleanser for daily use, compare store totals including delivery.
2. 
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG - 30ml — Best price 18,000 IQD, 2 stores, range 18,000–37,328 IQD, spread 107.4%. Potential difference: 19,328 IQD. This eye-area serum targets puffiness and dark circles. Check the size and expiry date when comparing.
3. 
The Ordinary Multi Peptide + HA Serum — Best price 37,000 IQD, 4 stores, range 37,000–75,500 IQD, spread 104.1%. Potential difference: 38,500 IQD, the largest absolute gap on this week’s list. This peptide and hyaluronic acid serum is aimed at smoothness, elasticity and firmness. Confirm the size before you compare, because different listings may look similar.
4. 
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - 60ml — Best price 18,500 IQD, 2 stores, range 18,500–37,000 IQD, spread 100.0%. Potential difference: 18,500 IQD. This 60ml hydration serum is a straightforward option if you use hyaluronic acid daily. The spread is exactly double, so comparing is worth the extra minute.
5. 
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum — Best price 20,000 IQD, 2 stores, range 20,000–38,750 IQD, spread 93.8%. Potential difference: 18,750 IQD. This is the serum version, and it has a slightly higher entry price than the 60ml option above. Check size and format before deciding which one gives better value.
6. 
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner - 240ml — Best price 16,000 IQD, 7 stores, range 16,000–28,250 IQD, spread 76.6%. Potential difference: 12,250 IQD. This 240ml exfoliating toner is widely available, so it is a good example of why you should not stop at the first store. Compare total price with delivery.
7. 
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2% — Best price 15,250 IQD, 2 stores, range 15,250–25,750 IQD, spread 68.9%. Potential difference: 10,500 IQD. This mild exfoliating serum is often chosen for dry or sensitive skin. Two stores only this week, so availability may move quickly.
8. 
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Ha Serum - 60ml — Best price 43,500 IQD, 3 stores, range 43,500–72,000 IQD, spread 65.5%. Potential difference: 28,500 IQD. This 60ml peptide serum has a higher entry price, but the absolute saving is still large. Compare it with the other peptide option above only after checking size.
9. 
The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milkey Toner - 100ml — Best price 20,750 IQD, 6 stores, range 20,750–31,500 IQD, spread 51.8%. Potential difference: 10,750 IQD. This 100ml hydrating toner is a good daily option if you like fermented ingredients. With six stores, it pays to sort by final price.
10. 
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum — Best price 25,200 IQD, 5 stores, range 25,200–33,500 IQD, spread 32.9%. Potential difference: 8,300 IQD. This lash and brow serum has the smallest spread on the list, but the saving is still real if you compare five stores.
Buying tips for this week: First, compare the final price after delivery, not just the product price. Second, check the size and version, especially with hyaluronic acid and peptide serums where listings can look alike. Third, confirm stock and expiry or batch details with the store. Fourth, if the spread is over 100%, the highest price is more than double the lowest, so it is worth waiting or switching stores. Finally, prices in Iraq can change weekly, so use this list as a starting point and verify on TajPrice before you buy.
