The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum – ingredients & consistency
This face serum is rich in the medium molecular weight HA – its effect is enhanced by vitamin B5 and panthenol. The product has good components yet it surely isn’t 100% hyaluronic acid, plus the list of ingredients is pretty long. Still, thanks to the thought-out substances and good conditioning effect, this serum makes a good option for dry and very dry skin.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Serum is lightweight and well-absorbed. It doesn’t fully penetrate the skin so you can feel a film it leaves on the face surface – be careful with the amount you use.
Vitamin B5 additionally hydrates the skin while panthenol soothes irritations and forms a delicate occlusive layer on the skin surface preventing the TEWL – transepidermal water loss.
