FAQs

How often should I use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5?

For best results, apply a few drops to your face in the morning and evening, after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils.

Can this serum be used on sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic Acid is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test before full facial application.

What are the main benefits of using this serum?

The main benefits include instant and all-day plumping hydration, smoother and softer skin, improved suppleness and elasticity, and minimized appearance of fine dry lines.

Can I use this product with other serums or active ingredients?

Yes, this serum is generally compatible and layers well with most other serums and active ingredients. Apply it after water-based toners and before heavier creams, oils, or suspension formulas.

Why does this formula contain 5 forms of Hyaluronic Acid?

The inclusion of low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight molecules, an HA crosspolymer, and hydrolyzed HA allows the serum to provide hydration to multiple layers of the skin's surface, ensuring more comprehensive and effective moisturization.

What role do Ceramides and Pro-vitamin B5 play in this serum?

Ceramides help to support and strengthen the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss. Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol) further supports the formation of key skin barrier components, helping to lock in moisture for longer-lasting hydration.

Is this product suitable for all age groups?

Yes, the product is suitable for adults across various age groups who are looking to improve skin hydration and address concerns like dryness and fine dry lines.

How long does a 60ml bottle typically last with daily use?

With typical daily use (a few drops twice a day), a 60ml bottle can last approximately 2-3 months, but this can vary based on individual application amount.

Troubleshooting

Product feels sticky or tacky after application

This can happen if too much product is applied. Use only 2-3 drops for the entire face. Ensure skin is slightly damp before application, as hyaluronic acid binds to water, which can help it absorb better.

Not seeing significant plumping or hydration results

Consistency is key. Use the serum twice daily, every day. Also, ensure you are following with a moisturizer to help 'seal in' the hydration provided by the HA. If your environment is very dry, consider using a humidifier.

Mild redness or irritation

While rare with Hyaluronic Acid, discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) for 24-48 hours before full facial application if you have sensitive skin.

Product is not absorbing well

Make sure your skin is clean and slightly damp before applying. Pat the serum gently onto the skin instead of just rubbing. Allow a minute or two for absorption before applying subsequent products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Application

  1. Cleanse: Begin with a thoroughly cleansed face.
  2. Tone (Optional): If using a toner, apply it before the serum.
  3. Apply Serum: Dispense a few drops of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 onto your fingertips.
  4. Distribute: Gently massage the serum over your entire face, avoiding the eye area.
  5. Pat In: Lightly pat the product into your skin until fully absorbed.
  6. Follow Up: Proceed with heavier creams, oils, or moisturizers. It can be used both morning and night.

Compatibility

This serum is generally compatible with most other skincare ingredients and products. It can be layered with other water-based serums, oils, and moisturizers. Always check for specific contraindications if combining with very potent actives like high concentrations of Vitamin C or retinoids, though HA generally pairs well.

Care and Storage

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent contamination and maintain product efficacy. Do not freeze.
