The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides)

• Provides immediate and long-lasting hydration.
• Helps re-plump dehydrated areas and smooth the look of dry fine lines.
• Supports the skin’s moisture barrier with ceramides and pro-vitamin B5.
• Improves the appearance of suppleness, elasticity and skin texture with consistent use.
• Lightweight, non-tacky finish layers easily with other skincare products.

Brand clinical testing in 32 people using the serum twice daily showed hydrated, barrier-supported skin immediately, with progressive improvements in smoothness, plumpness and suppleness over four weeks.

Five forms of Hyaluronic Acid: Low-, medium- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid help attract and retain water at multiple levels of the skin’s surface.

Ceramide-supporting lipids: Phospholipids and sphingolipids help supplement the moisture barrier and keep hydration locked in.

Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Supports the formation of skin-barrier components and improves moisture retention.

Ahnfeltiopsis Concinna Extract and Glycerin: Help condition the skin and support surface hydration.

Morning: Cleanser → toner or essence if used → Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 → other water-based treatments as needed → moisturizer → sunscreen.

Evening: Cleanser → toner or essence if used → Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 → other water-based treatments as needed → moisturizer or facial oil.
