The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a lightweight, water-based serum that is designed to deliver intense hydration to the skin. It contains two key ingredients: hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5.

Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent ingredient for hydration. It works by attracting water molecules to the skin’s surface, which helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin B5, also known as panthenol, is a water-soluble vitamin that helps to soothe and repair the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and irritation, and it can also improve the skin’s natural barrier function.

Together, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 work to hydrate, plump, and nourish the skin, leaving it looking and feeling soft, smooth, and supple. The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is suitable for all skin types, but it is particularly beneficial for those with dry, dehydrated, or aging skin. It can be used in the morning and/or evening, and can be layered with other skincare products for maximum benefits.
