Product Description
Looking to relief your dry and/or dehydrated skin? Or you just want your products to absorb faster so you can hit the hay? The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is the answer! Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture and can hold up to 1000x its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant on the skin, attracting water from the atmosphere, and from deeper layers of skin to improve surface hydration while also leaving skin looking plump and feeling bouncy.
Made in Canada, free of parabens, sulphates, mineral oil, fragrance, silicone, alcohol and is also vegan and cruelty-free, The Ordinary is a brand from Deciem ( also known as The Abnormal Beauty Company ), focused on advanced functional beauty where the team is specialized in materials chemistry and biochemistry and has brought pioneering innovation in skincare through their core brands, Hylamide and NIOD.
The Ordinary stood out because of its affordable pricing despite offering familiar and effective clinical technologies hence their tagline "Clinical formulations with integrity". It has disrupted the beauty industry by creating a line of research-based, active ingredient-focused products at less than US$15 each.
Frankly speaking, when I first came across the products during a vacation in Australia 2 years ago, I was skeptical about the brand, products and effectiveness with their too-good-to-be-true pricing. Fast forward several months later, everyone seems to be raving on how good and affordable they are, with options that target every common skin care concern, so when Skinx reached out to me, to offer some products in return for an honest review, I chose The Ordinary. I just have to see how good is it, isn't it?
Packaging, Scent and Texture
With that in mind, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum is formulated with low-, medium- and high-molecular weight HA, as well as a next-generation HA crosspolymer at a combined concentration of 2% for multi-depth hydration. This system is supported with the addition of Vitamin B5 which also enhances surface hydration to moisturize and soften fine lines and wrinkles.
I was elated to incorporate the serum into my skincare regime as I am constantly looking out for hydrating and nourishing products for my combination-dehydrated skin type.
I usually apply The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum after Cosrx Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner and before Naruko Magnolia Brightening and Firming Lotion and/or Biotherm Life Plankton Mask and/or Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair either day/night or both. Skin is left feeling hydrated and very smooth without any flakiness during the course of usage.
The key ingredients are Sodium Hyaluronate (Hydration), Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer (Hydration) and Panthenol (Humectant).
CosDNA has given the product a good safety rating which consists of a mixture of moisturisers and surfactants and the product scored 3.6 from 89 users on Makeupalley.

Packaging, Scent and Texture
Housed in a 30ml minimalistic clear glass bottle with a dropper, the texture has a medium consistency that falls between a watery gel to a gel serum and applies with a sticky finishing. The clear scentless gel is recommended to be applied on damp skin so that it can glide easier and absorb faster.
It takes about 5 minutes for the serum to sink in totally, leaving my skin very smooth. However, if you apply too much, skin would be extremely sticky and takes an even longer time to be absorbed so apply it sparingly.

Performance and Ingredients
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum is a highly recommended product for those looking for hydration. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can attract up to 1,000 times its weight in water and the molecular size of HA determines its depth of delivery in the skin.
