The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
DESCRIPTION
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a hydration support formula with ultra-pure, vegan hyaluronic acid.
Why We Love It
A simple, water based hydrating serum with hero ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid. We love how easy this is - can be paired with any other active ingredients in your routine.
Note: Hyaluronic Acid is found in the skin naturally but its natural function within the skin is not hydration. Many products have used HA to claim hydration benefits, but HA is too large of a molecule to penetrate the skin and instead sits on the surface and can draw moisture out of the skin making the surface feel soft and hydrated temporarily, while making you feel like you need more HA after the product is rinsed. This formula uses three forms of HA with varying molecular weights, as well as an HA crosspolymer, to offer multi-depth hydration and visible plumping without drawing water out of the skin solely to improve temporary surface hydration.
ROUTINE
Apply after cleanser, toner and essence.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply 2-3 drops onto fingertips and massage into entire face until absorbed.

Emulsions, creams, oils and sunscreen.

THE FORMULA FOCUS INGREDIENTS
SODIUM HYALURONATE
Helps to restore the skin's moisture, promoting a more revitalised and youthful complexion. It's gentle enough for use on most skin types, including acne-prone skin. Sodium Hyaluronate smoothes the appearance of wrinkles and improves the skin's texture-it has a small molecular size, which means that it can penetrate the skin better than larger forms of Hyaluronic Acid.
