Which is better for dry skin?

The Ordinary set, for hydration and barrier support. Its hyaluronic acid and barrier serum are leave-on. The Peach & Lily duo suits dry skin too but is a cleanser pair, so it cleans rather than treats.

Which removes makeup better?

The Peach & Lily duo. The Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser is made to dissolve waterproof makeup and SPF, then the gel cleanser clears pores. The Ordinary set has no cleanser.

Can I use both together?

Yes. Cleanse with the Peach & Lily duo, then apply the Ordinary serums. They do not overlap in function.

Is the Peach & Lily duo worth the extra?

At $8.00 (November 2) it costs less than the Ordinary set at $14.20 (November 1). At its $20.00 high (November 1) it costs more, so check the current price before buying.

Which has better reviews?

Peach & Lily: 4.7 out of 5 from 291 ratings. The Ordinary set has 1 rating, at 1 out of 5, so there is little to go on.

Are the minis enough for a trip?

Both are travel size. The Ordinary serums are 0.5 oz / 1.5 mL each; the Peach & Lily cleansers are 1.01 oz each.
