The OrdinaryHyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides), Multi-Depth Hydration Serum for Plumper, Smoother Skin

I bought this because I was starting a new (stronger) retinol serum. I’ve used HA as part of a moisturizer and other products but this is a million times better. I am glad that I read the reviews and they are not wrong. No retinol irritation or dryness ever during the first week.This little simple and cheap product is amazingly effective. I apply it after retinol at night and after vitamin C in the morning. It goes on very smooth and sinks into the skin. It will only be a little sticky and flaky if you use too much.It plumps the skin so much, I can see it especially around my eyes and the effect lasts all day. No skin irritation, whatever, though I will say that my skin is generally not sensitive. There is no scent at all.I live in an area that is humid but because I am prone to nasal congestion and allergies, my lips often get dry (not breathing only through my nose). Applying this under a lip balm or lip stick not only plumps the lips but it also keeps them moisturized.This is an amazing little thing. I highly recommend!

I have used many other brands over the years, some pricy and some not. This is by far my favorite. It's a good thickness when coming out of the bottle but spreads easily. A little goes a very long way and it does not feel sticky on the skin. I have even started using this on the tops of my hands. My skin gets dry (mature skin) and everything just soaks in and within a few hours my skin feels dry again. After using this just 1 time, it soaked in quickly and my skin felt soft and supple the next morning. I love this stuff. This will be my go to from now on. It does everything it is supposed to. Plus the price is right.

My skin has one setting after washing: dry and dramatic. Enter The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid—this stuff is like giving my face a tall glass of water and a pep talk. It sinks in fast, doesn’t feel sticky, and instantly makes my skin feel plump and refreshed.I use it right after cleansing, and it’s the perfect primer for my face lotion. My moisturizer glides on like butter on warm toast—no pilling, no fuss, just smooth, hydrated goodness. Bonus: it doesn’t break the bank, which is always a win in the world of skincare.Highly recommend if your face ever feels like it’s been personally victimized by your face wash.

I’m a man I my mid 30s who hasn’t really used a ton of skin care products but the ones I tried seemed to be overpriced and have almost effect. Over the 5 years or so my face aged considerably more than it had in the past and I started to notice in photos and on the mirror. I tried this on a whim after reading about hyaluronic and have been very happy with the results after about 3 weeks. It seems to actually soften your face on the very first application. Over time it’s given a little more puff and fullness to my face which had become a bit tougher and flat. After the 2nd week I added a copper peptide serum on top of it and the results have started to increase. The low cost on this and the results mean I’m going to be using it for a long time.

I’ve had this for a few days. I use it morning and night so far. What people don’t say about this product is during the day I’ve noticed a bit of a peeling / flaking from the product it’s self. At night I guess I sleep it off ? So it doesn’t do that. It does lay on nice and at first gives you such glowing skin even once it drys. Leaves skin soft also. It’s not irritating at all and hasn’t worsened my acne or redness. I do touch my face a lot so don’t do like I do and see if it’s less flaky lol. Definitely worth a try so far so good. ( I use the peeling solution , hyaluronic acid , and niacinamide zinc. )

I’ve tried a lot of hyaluronic acid serums over the years, including one that cost $90, but I have to say this one genuinely impressed me. From the first application, it felt lightweight yet deeply hydrating, leaving my skin plump and refreshed without any sticky residue. It layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup, and I noticed a visible improvement in how smooth and dewy my skin looked within just a few days.What really sets this product apart is the incredible value. For a fraction of the price of my previous go-to serum, I’m getting results that are just as good, if not better. It’s proof that high-quality skincare doesn’t always need a luxury price tag. I’ll definitely be repurchasing and recommending this to friends who want effective hydration without breaking the bank. Bonus, no scent!!

“The Ordinary” products are so great because they use the least amount of ingredients that work the best and cull out the fragrances and other inactive ingredients you don’t need but pay alot for. For max results, this Hyaluronic Acid +B5 product is best used on a moist face, either right out of shower or face washing- vs having a dried face. It soaks in and works much better that way. It has several types of Hyaluronic Acid that get deeper into your skin layers than the simple kind of Hyaluronic Acid that stays more superficially on skin’s surface. That is a big deal. Why would you want to pay more?

Good stuff. Only a week went by and I'm seeing a vast improvement with my cheeks and chin specifically (skin was rougher there). Face feels and looks soft and smooth. Surprisingly affordable and easy to use.I just started a face care routine for the first time and I'm already seeing vast improvements thanks to The Ordinary. I originally planned to buy one bottle but I'll be making this a permanent step in my routine now. I only use a few drops and then pat it in before moisturizer and sunscreen and its so nice! Highly recommend.
