Product Details
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) is the latest hyaluronic serum from The Ordinary with 5 forms of hyaluronic acid, ceramides and a lightweight texture. This next generation formulation provides instant and long-term plumping hydration to give softer, smoother, and healthy-looking skin.
This formulation contains 5 types of hyaluronic acid, pro-vitamin B5 and ceramides.
Ceramides:
To lock in moisture and support the skin barrier, ensuring long-term hydration. Ceramides (a natural lipid found in the skin) enhance the barrier’s ability to protect and hydrate and ensure that moisture is locked in for longer-term results.
5 Types of Hyaluronic Acid:
5 types of hyaluronic acid provide hydration to multiple layers of the skin. These include low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight molecules, a hyaluronic acid crosspolymer, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. These ingredients work together to help the skin retain moisture, re-plump dry, dehydrated areas, and improve skin suppleness.
Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol):
Supports the formation of essential skin barrier components like ceramides and fatty acids, further improving the skin’s moisture retention and an overall healthy appearance.
This latest-generation hyaluronic serum has a lightweight serum texture that dries with a non-tacky finish. For those who prefer a richer-textured hyaluronic serum, we recommend exploring Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (Original Formulation). This original formulation hydrates and smooths, and offers a richer feel.
