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

I hate my hands. No, genuinely. I always have. But once I stopped being twenty, I hated them even more. Genetics plus winter conditions turned my hands into something truly upsetting, and I was not emotionally prepared for that stage of life yet. I originally bought this for my face, and it works great there. Then one day I had a thought. What if I tried this on my hands? Two months later, my hands are still subject to genetics, but I am no longer embarrassed by them, which honestly feels like a miracle. I use this morning and night. I put a small amount on the backs of my hands, rub it in, then seal it with a shea butter lotion. I have never had a reaction. It dries quickly. It is a bit sticky at first, then slightly tacky, and then it absorbs completely. It dries clear, leaves no residue, and does not interfere with touching things or living your life. The results are genuinely impressive. My hands stay hydrated, they glow, and they look plumper. The wrinkly “I’m freezing and somehow also beef jerky” look I was rocking has left the building. The effects actually last, too, which matters. For the price, this is outstanding. Hyaluronic acid really is your skin’s best friend. There is no scent, no grease, and no nonsense. I am a huge fan of this brand overall, and the Hyaluronic Acid with B5 is an absolute staple for me now. If your skin has personally offended you, try this.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum for a few weeks, and I’m pleased with the results. It delivers noticeable hydration my skin feels plumper and more supple. Over time, I noticed smoother texture and less dryness, especially in areas that tend to get tight or flaky. The inclusion of ceramides seems to help lock in moisture, leaving skin feeling nourished. I like that it layers well under moisturizer and/or makeup it doesn’t pill or interfere with other products. For a budget-friendly serum, it’s very effective for maintaining hydration and improving overall smoothness. Minor drawback: on some days with very dry skin, I feel like I need to follow up with a richer moisturizer to fully seal in the hydration using only the serum can feel a little light for deep dryness. Overall: A solid hydration boost and great option for adding moisture and plumpness to skin, especially for normal to combination skin types. Well worth trying if you want smoother, more hydrated skin without spending much.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, and it has become a staple in my skincare routine. It provides instant hydration and helps keep my skin feeling plump, smooth, and comfortable throughout the day. The texture is lightweight and slightly gel-like, absorbs quickly, and layers perfectly with other products without pilling. I apply it on damp skin, and it makes a noticeable difference in how hydrated and healthy my skin looks. Over time, my skin feels softer, more balanced, and less tight, especially during dry weather. It works well both morning and night, and it’s gentle enough for everyday use, even on sensitive skin. Another big plus is the price and bottle size—you get excellent quality without spending a lot, which is rare for a hyaluronic acid serum this effective.

It helps to hydrate my skin pretty well and it is not pricey. I use it during winter and it helps when my skin dry out. I do not feel stickiness after applying on my face. However, not sure if I would buy ut again because I also would like to try other products as well

Just like the other serum of the ordinary products, this one leaves my skin feeling very soft and looking healthy. I recommend this product 100%. I absolutely love it and will definitely keep buying it. After applying, I wait about 30 seconds and then apply a moisturizer this helps the serum absorb better and gives even better results. I'm à men and my skin was pale didn't look like this from a long time ans now at my 34 I look more alive and healthier

This serum provides good hydration and helps my skin feel plumper and smoother. However, it does feel a bit sticky on the skin, and if you use too much, it can leave a slight white residue on the face. Using a small amount works best. Overall, it’s effective, just needs careful application.

I love this product and have been using it for years. Maybe it's genetics and I use several products, but people generally think I'm years younger than I am. I contribute at least part of that to this product. It's a water-based serum, so it has a pretty liquid consistency. It's dispensed from a dropper (make sure not to touch this to the skin to avoid microbial growth). It goes on smoothly and soaks in super fast. I layer this with several serums and have no issues. I put about 2-3mL in my hands and rub them together before smoothing over my face and swipe up my neck and jawline. This has helped tighten my jawline within about a week or so. It's temporary, but the tightening stays as long as your consistent. More mature skin may not have as much of a distinct change. I am 31 and have been using this since my early 20s. The bottle lasts a long time and is definitely a good deal. That's part of why I continue to buy this and love The Ordinary. I can't recommend it enough. I even gift it to people looking for skincare products.

Since using this product I have noticed a nice difference in my skins hydration! Does not cause my face to be oily but definitely leaves my face feeling able to breath and super soft. It's very simple to use and add in to your daily skincare routines! Its very effective on keeping your face to feel refreshed and hydrated throughout the day. After using as the directions state to use this product, I have noticed how healthy it's making my face feel within a couple weeks. Not a very big bottle but the length of time you get out of the small bottle is a big plus. A couple little dabs do my entire face. It's longevity is wonderful! The product itself is not super runny or thick, for me it is just the right consistency for my face. This being the first time I bought and used this item, I'm really pleased with my purchase!
