The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, 30ml

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a popular skincare product that is formulated to provide hydration and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that can hold a significant amount of water, helping to keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Benefits

• Hydration: Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant, which means it attracts and retains water. When applied to the skin, it can help increase moisture levels and prevent dehydration, which is essential for maintaining healthy and supple skin.
• Plumping Effect: By retaining moisture, hyaluronic acid can give your skin a plumper and more youthful appearance. It helps to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, making them appear less noticeable.
• Enhanced Skin Barrier: Hyaluronic acid contributes to strengthening the skin’s protective barrier, reducing the risk of environmental damage and irritants penetrating the skin.
• Lightweight Texture: The Ordinary’s formulation combines hyaluronic acid with vitamin B5 (panthenol), which can help improve skin texture and provide additional hydration without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin.
• Suitable for Most Skin Types: Hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. However, it is always advisable to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your skincare routine, as individual reactions may vary.

How to use

• Cleanse Your Face: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, makeup, and impurities. This will prepare your skin for better absorption of the hyaluronic acid serum.
• Tone (optional): If you use a toner in your skincare routine, apply it after cleansing and before the hyaluronic acid serum. A toner can help balance your skin’s pH levels and enhance the penetration of the serum.
• Apply The Hyaluronic Acid Serum: After cleansing (and toning, if applicable), take a few drops of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. It’s a good idea to apply the serum to damp skin. You can either apply it to your entire face or target specific areas that need extra hydration. Gently pat or massage the serum into your skin using your fingertips.
• Wait for Absorption: Allow the serum to fully absorb into your skin. This typically takes a few moments.
• Moisturize: After the hyaluronic acid serum has been absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer. This will help seal in the moisture and provide an additional layer of hydration to your skin.
• Sunscreen (AM Routine): If you are using this serum in your morning routine, it’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 as the final step. Hyaluronic acid can increase the skin’s susceptibility to UV damage, so sunscreen is essential to protect your skin.
• Nighttime Routine: If you are using the serum in your evening routine, you can continue with other skincare products such as serums, treatments, or oils as needed. Just be sure to apply the hyaluronic acid serum before any heavier or oil-based products.
• Frequency: You can use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 both in the morning and evening, depending on your skincare needs and preferences. If you have drier skin, you may choose to use it twice a day. For oilier skin types, using it once a day may be sufficient.
