About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The Ordinary with an unusual package. As he approached the door, the scent of something unfamiliar wafted through the air. Curious, he opened it to reveal a small jar labeled ‘Secret Ingredient’. Inside was a strange paste that smelled like fresh-baked bread and lavender. When asked what it was, the manager winked and said, 'Just our latest secret recipe for face masks.' The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, thinking, 'I’ll never look at bread the same way again!'

2. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The Ordinary with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he noticed a sign that read: ‘For best results, apply between midnight and dawn.’ Curious, he opened it carefully—inside was just a jar of face cream and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Use once a month for glowing skin.’ The next day, his coworkers teased him endlessly about becoming the neighborhood beauty queen.’

3. A delivery driver arrived early one foggy morning, unloading boxes from his truck. As he walked past The Ordinary’s entrance, he noticed something peculiar—a small wooden box left on the pavement, its label reading simply ‘For Beauty’. Curious, he picked it up and placed it inside, thinking nothing of it. Later that day, a regular customer found an unusual note in her package: 'Thank you for visiting us today! Your skin looks extraordinarily ordinary.' Everyone laughed, but no one ever mentioned returning the box—until the next foggy morning when another delivery driver stumbled upon it again.

4. At midnight, a regular passing by noticed a strange humming coming from inside The Ordinary. Curious, they peered through the window and saw a reflection of themselves—only younger, smiling wider. Suddenly, an exhausted delivery driver appeared in the mirror, grinning widely with a freshly delivered cake on his bike. He whispered, ‘Finally, someone who appreciates my early morning efforts!’ Then he tipped his helmet and disappeared back into the night.
