If you’re a fan of The Ordinary, you already know their products deliver serious results without the luxury price tag. But did you know that prices for the exact same bottle can swing wildly from one store to another in Iraq? This week (May 19–26), we dug into the data on TajPrice to find the products where comparing prices pays off most. Some spreads are jaw-dropping — we’re talking over 148% difference. Here’s your weekly cheat sheet to save hard-earned IQD.
First up, the eye-care hero: 
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG - 30ml. At just 15,000 IQD in one store, but over 37,000 IQD in another — that’s a spread of nearly 149%. If you’ve been wanting to tackle puffiness and dark circles, this is the one to hunt down at the best price.
Next, a gentle exfoliator perfect for sensitive skin: 
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2%. With a best price of 13,000 IQD and a range up to 25,750 IQD, you could save almost half by shopping around. The 2% hyaluronic acid keeps hydration locked in.
For cleansing, 
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser - 150ml is a cult favorite. This 150ml balm-to-oil formula removes makeup without stripping. Prices vary from 19,000 IQD to 36,000 IQD — a 89.5% spread. Worth checking three stores to bag the deal.
Hydration lovers, listen up. 
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - 60ml and 
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum both have a 76.5% spread. Best price is 17,000 IQD for either size, but some stores charge 30,000 IQD. Choose the 60ml bottle or the serum — either way, compare prices first.
Now, the exfoliating toner: 
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner - 240ml. This 240ml bottle is available at 6 stores, with prices ranging from 15,000 to 25,000 IQD (66.7% spread). It’s a multi-tasker that smooths texture, brightens tone, and reduces fine lines. At the lowest price, it’s a steal.
For a gentler toner, 
The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milkey Toner - 100ml has a spread of 35.2%. Best price 17,750 IQD vs up to 24,000 IQD. It hydrates and revitalizes all skin types.
Blemish-prone skin? 
The Ordinary Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution Serum - 30ml helps reduce post-acne marks. Prices range from 24,000 to 30,000 IQD (25% spread). Still a decent saving if you find the lower price.
Another AHA option: 
The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA - 30ml. This 10% mandelic acid serum gently peels and reduces acne. Spread is only 15.4% (13,000–15,000 IQD), but every dinar counts.
Finally, the 
The Ordinary Bright Set for Skin Care is a full kit with cleanser, caffeine solution, vitamin C serum, and glycolic toner. Best price 51,000 IQD, highest 57,000 IQD — an 11.8% spread. If you want a complete routine, this set saves you money over buying separately.
Quick tip: always check TajPrice before you buy. The difference of a few thousand IQD adds up, especially on these popular items. Happy saving!
