The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30ml: Detailed Overview

Product Description

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a highly effective hydrating serum designed specifically for dry and dehydrated skin. This formulation combines two powerful hydrating ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5 (Panthenol). Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that has the ability to attract and hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it essential for maintaining skin hydration and plumpness. Vitamin B5 enhances hydration and promotes skin barrier function, helping to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

The emulsion is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly, making it suitable for all skin types, particularly those struggling with dryness or dehydration. Its formulation is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, ensuring a minimal irritant profile, making it a safe choice for sensitive skin.

Key Benefits

• Deep Hydration: Hyaluronic Acid attracts moisture from the environment and binds it to the skin, providing long-lasting hydration.
• Soothing Properties: Vitamin B5 helps to soothe and heal the skin, reducing irritation and enhancing the hydration process.
• Improved Skin Texture: Regular use can lead to improved skin softness, elasticity, and a more youthful appearance.
• Compatibility: The formulation works well with other products and can be layered under creams and oils for enhanced hydration.

Recommended Uses

1. Daily Hydration Routine: Apply the serum twice daily, in the morning and evening, after cleansing the skin. This helps ensure optimal hydration throughout the day and night.
2. Layering with Other Products: After applying The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, follow up with a moisturizer to seal in the hydration. This is crucial, especially for those with very dry skin.
3. Post-Exfoliation: Use after chemical exfoliants or mechanical exfoliation (like scrubs) to help calm and hydrate the skin, minimizing sensitivity.
4. Duo with Other Actives: For enhanced benefits, it can be combined with other serums from The Ordinary, such as Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% or Granactive Retinoid 2%, ensuring to monitor skin tolerance and layering order.
5. Facial Masks: Incorporate it into at-home facial treatments by applying a few drops before using a hydrating face mask for an extra boost of moisture.

Application Process

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle facial cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities from your skin.
2. Tone (optional): If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing to prepare your skin for better serum absorption.
3. Apply the Serum: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 into the palm of your hand or directly onto your fingertips. Gently pat it over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. You can also press it into your skin for better absorption.
4. Follow with Moisturizer: To lock in hydration, follow up with a suitable moisturizer. Choose a product based on your skin’s needs, such as a heavy cream for very dry skin or a lighter lotion for normal skin.
5. Sunscreen at Daytime: If using in the morning, it’s essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen after your moisturizer to protect your skin from UV damage.

Conclusion

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a fundamental addition to any skincare routine focused on hydration and skin health. Its lightweight formulation and powerful hydrating properties make it versatile for various skincare regimens. When used consistently, it can significantly improve the hydration levels of the skin, leaving it plump, smooth, and radiant.
