If you're a skincare lover in Iraq, you already know that The Ordinary serums are some of the most effective – and most wanted – products on the market. But what you might not know is that prices for the exact same bottle can vary wildly from one store to another. This week (May 26 – June 2, 2026), we've crunched the numbers on TajPrice to find the serums with the biggest cross-store price differences. The result? You can save tens of thousands of dinars just by checking a few clicks.
Here are The Ordinary serums where comparing prices really pays off – ranked by how much the price can jump between stores.
1. The Biggest Gap:
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum – Spread: 89.2%
This water‑based HA serum is a hydration hero, but its price swings from 18,500 IQD to 35,000 IQD across just three stores. That's a potential saving of 16,500 IQD – enough for another product!
2. Same Active, Bigger Bottle:
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - 60ml – Spread: 73.0%
If you prefer the 60ml version, you'll find it priced between 18,500 and 32,000 IQD at two stores. A 73% spread means the cheaper store is practically giving it away compared to the pricier one.
3. Anti‑Ageing Powerhouse:
The Ordinary Multi Peptide + HA Serum – Spread: 56.8%
Multi‑Peptide + HA targets fine lines and firmness. Available at three stores, prices range from 37,000 to 58,000 IQD. Smart shoppers can save over 20,000 IQD.
4. Blemish‑Soothing Solution:
The Ordinary Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution Serum - 30ml – Spread: 45.8%
This lightweight serum for post‑acne marks costs as little as 24,000 IQD at one store and up to 35,000 IQD at another. With four stores stocking it, you have plenty of options to find the best deal.
5. Brightening Specialist:
The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + Ha Serum - 60ml – Spread: 13.9%
Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA helps with dark spots and uneven tone. The 60ml bottle is sold at five stores, with prices between 36,000 and 41,000 IQD – a smaller gap but still worth checking.
6–9: Smaller Spreads, Still Worth Comparing
The remaining serums show tighter price ranges, but every dinar counts:
-
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% - 100ml (8.8% spread, 51,000–55,500 IQD)
-
The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% - 15ml (7.1% spread, 21,000–22,500 IQD)
-
The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum - 30ml (5.4% spread, 37,000–39,000 IQD)
-
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptide Serum - 30ml (5.0% spread, 60,000–63,000 IQD)
Even with a small spread, you can save a few thousand dinars – and that adds up over your entire routine.
Why compare on TajPrice? Because stores in Iraq set their own prices, and the difference isn't always logical. A serum that's 18,500 IQD in one place might be double that somewhere else. Our weekly price data helps you see exactly where to buy – without the guesswork.
