A reformulation of The Ordinary’s most-loved hydration serum, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, instantly hydrates and visibly plumps, while smoothing the appearance of texture and fine lines. This updated formula has a slight yellow tinge compared to the previous formula due to adding a ceramide blend. This is the natural colour of this new raw material.
The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 provides instant plumping hydration to give softer, smoother, healthy-looking skin. The lightweight formula boosts the skin’s hydration levels with all-day nourishment and helps the skin lock in moisture to visibly plump dry skin. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 also promotes the feeling of suppleness and elasticity, while minimising the appearance of fine, dry lines.
This formulation contains 5 forms of hyaluronic acid, which helps deliver potent hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant found naturally in the skin where it binds to water. The forms included are low-, medium- and high-molecular-weight molecules, a HA crosspolymer, and hydrolyzed HA.
The formulation also contains ceramides to help keep moisture locked in. Ceramides are lipids (fatty molecules) found naturally in the skin that help nourish the skin barrier to keep the skin protected and hydrated. The ceramides used in this formula are known as sphingolipids.
Pro-vitamin B5 helps support the formation of key skin barrier components like ceramides and fatty acids, which further helps keep moisture locked in, keeping the skin moisturised for longer.

Does the job
I really like this product and I think it is making a difference to my skin. However it does leave a tacky residue which takes about 5 mins to dry in so I find that I need to wait until that has happened before applying moisturiser/tinted moisturiser or it pills. This might be completely normal for this type of product or it might be specific to my skin but given the price point it wouldn’t put me off buying again.

Gentle
First The Ordinary item I have ordered but certainly not the last. Using this twice a day after toner as an additional step and after 2/3 weeks I can see my pores look clearer in my t zone.

Great Serum
Some serums sink in much too quickly before you even finish applying them, but I find this one absorbs at a good rate. I like that it contains hyaluronic acid and it's lightweight. I have very tight, dry skin, so layering face oil then moisturiser afterwards really hydrates my skin.

Little goes a long way!
Thoroughly enjoying using this serum. You don’t need too much at all if you use it when your skin is damp. It sinks in lovely without leaving your skin feeling sticky, and leaves my skin feeling plumper with a natural glow. I especially like to use it on my crepey under eye area, a tiny bit tapped in plumps up the skin so the crepiness goes away.

Excellent product
I apply this to damp skin before my moisturiser and find that it makes a huge difference. My skin looks plump and hydrated. Really healthy looking.

Ok
I was gifted this product to try - really wanted to love it but it just wasn’t for me. Found it sat on top of my skin rather than sinking in and seems to pill on me.

Love it
This is always my go to hyaluronic acid product. It works so well to prep my skin for my moisturising products. I really do notice the difference when I don’t use it.

Pleasantly surprised
I was surprised with how quickly I saw a difference, my skin definitely looks better right after I've used it, more plump and refreshed!
