Suitable for all skin types, including dry, dehydrated and combination skin, it combines multiple forms of hyaluronic acid with pro-vitamin B5 to replenish moisture and support the skin barrier. Clinical testing shows that the formula helps to strengthen the skin barrier, enhance elasticity and improve the appearance of fine, dry lines, making it an appealing choice if you want everyday hydration with visible results. With its non-greasy texture and minimalist formula, it fits easily into most skincare routines and pairs well with a wide range of other treatments.

Key Features

• Multi-depth hydration: Combines low-, medium- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid molecules plus a hyaluronic acid crosspolymer at a 2% concentration to hydrate multiple layers of the skin for a smoother, more supple feel.
• Barrier-supporting B5: Uses pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) to support the skin barrier and help maintain moisture, contributing to healthier-looking skin over time.
• Improved skin texture and fine lines: Regular use helps to re-plump dehydrated areas, soften fine, dry lines and refine texture for a fresher, more radiant complexion.
• Lightweight, non-oily formula: Water-based, oil-free serum texture absorbs quickly without heaviness or stickiness, making it suitable for layering under creams, SPF and make-up in both morning and evening routines.
• Vegan and minimalist formulation: Features a streamlined ingredient list focusing on humectants and conditioners such as sodium hyaluronate, hydrolysed hyaluronic acid, glycerin and panthenol, and is free from alcohol and oils.

Is The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 suitable for my skin type?

This serum is suitable for most skin types, including dry, normal, combination and oily skin, because it focuses on hydration without adding oil. Sensitive skin users often appreciate its gentle, fragrance-free formulation, although individual reactions can vary.

What skin concerns does The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 help with?

The formula targets dehydration, tightness and dullness by drawing water into the skin and supporting the moisture barrier. As hydration improves, the appearance of fine, dry lines and uneven texture is softened, giving skin a smoother look.

Can I use this serum with other skincare products?

The lightweight, water-based texture layers well under most serums, moisturisers and sunscreens, making it easy to integrate into existing routines. Many people like to apply it before richer creams or facial oils to help retain hydration and enhance overall comfort.

How does this differ from other hyaluronic acid serums?

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 combines several molecular weights of hyaluronic acid plus a crosspolymer, which allows hydration to reach multiple levels of the skin surface rather than sitting only on top. In contrast, some basic serums rely on a single weight of hyaluronic acid, which may not offer the same sense of comprehensive hydration and plumping.

Can I use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 all year round?

The serum works well year round, as it helps counteract winter dryness caused by central heating and summer dehydration linked to heat or air conditioning. Its comfortable texture and non-greasy finish make it suitable for seasonal changes, supporting a consistently hydrated, balanced complexion throughout the year.
