Directed by @arefmahabadi, the film traces a radical idea that reshaped an industry—a story of transparency and obsession, brilliance and vulnerability. It follows the rise of The Ordinary, and the life and loss of its founder, Brandon Truaxe, whose vision changed beauty forever. We hope you enjoy it.
