Hyaluronic Acid – Powerful Hydration Support

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance known for its ability to attract and retain moisture.

In skincare, Hyaluronic Acid is widely used to help improve hydration and give the complexion a plumper, smoother, and more refreshed appearance.

Dehydrated skin can sometimes appear:

• Dull
• Tight
• Rough
• Less plump
• More visibly lined

Adding a hydrating serum can help restore a softer and more comfortable appearance.

Pro-Vitamin B5

The formula also contains Pro-Vitamin B5, commonly known as Panthenol.

Panthenol is valued in skincare for its moisturizing, conditioning, and barrier-supporting properties.

Combined with Hyaluronic Acid, it helps support lasting hydration and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Ideal For

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is ideal for concerns such as:

• Dehydrated skin
• Dryness
• Tight-feeling skin
• Rough texture
• Loss of plumpness
• Dull-looking skin
• Fine dehydration lines
• Skin needing additional moisture support

It can be incorporated into routines for dry, normal, combination, and oily skin when additional hydration is needed.

Lightweight Water-Based Formula

This serum is designed to provide hydration without functioning like a heavy facial cream.

The lightweight texture makes it easy to layer underneath:

• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen
• Facial oils
• Makeup
• Other compatible skincare products

For best results, follow the serum with a moisturizer to help seal hydration into the skin.

How to Use

Step 1: Cleanse your face with a suitable cleanser.

Step 2: Apply toner if it is part of your routine.

Step 3: Apply a few drops of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 to the face.

Step 4: Gently spread or pat the serum across the face and neck.

Step 5: Follow with moisturizer.

Step 6: During the daytime, finish with sunscreen.

Use in the morning and/or evening, according to your skincare needs and the directions on the original packaging.

Pro Hydration Tip

Hyaluronic Acid works particularly well as part of a complete hydration routine.

After applying the serum, use a suitable moisturizer to help lock in moisture and reduce water loss from the skin.

Avoid relying on Hyaluronic Acid serum alone when your skin requires additional barrier support.

Why Choose The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5?

Healthy-looking skin depends heavily on maintaining adequate hydration.

When skin becomes dehydrated, it can appear dull, rough, tight, and less supple. Fine dehydration lines may also become more noticeable.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 provides a straightforward hydration-focused solution by combining Hyaluronic Acid with Pro-Vitamin B5.

Rather than exfoliating or aggressively treating the skin, this serum focuses on one of the most fundamental skincare needs—moisture.

With consistent use as part of a balanced routine, skin can feel softer, smoother, more comfortable, and visibly plumper.

Recommended Morning Routine

Cleanser → Toner (Optional) → The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

This serum can also be used underneath makeup once it has absorbed comfortably into the skin.

Recommended Evening Routine

Cleanser → Toner (Optional) → The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 → Moisturizer

For very dry skin, a richer moisturizer may be used afterward according to individual needs.

Great for Layering

Because this is primarily a hydration-focused serum, it can fit into many skincare routines.

It may be paired with compatible products containing ingredients such as:

• Niacinamide
• Ceramides
• Peptides
• Centella Asiatica
• Moisturizing ingredients
• Barrier-supporting creams

When combining multiple serums, apply products according to their texture and manufacturer directions and avoid unnecessarily complicated routines.

Hydration vs. Moisturization

Hyaluronic Acid serum and moisturizer perform complementary roles.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Helps provide hydration and attract moisture.

Moisturizer: Helps support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.

For this reason, applying a moisturizer after The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 can help complete your hydration routine.
