The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30ml is a water-based hydrating serum reformulated with five forms of hyaluronic acid, ceramides and pro-vitamin B5 for multi-depth hydration and visible plumping. This second-generation formula absorbs quickly and dries down non-tacky, replacing the heavier feel of the original. It hydrates the skin's surface layers, supports the moisture barrier and smooths the look of fine, dehydrated lines, making it a daily hydrator well suited to UAE skin.

Why This Hydrating Serum Works

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant: it binds water and holds it at the skin's surface. Molecular size decides how deeply it sits, so this formula blends low, medium and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid with a crosspolymer and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid for hydration across multiple layers. Ceramides then lock that water in, which matters in air-conditioned interiors where skin loses moisture quickly.

Ideal For

All skin types, including dry, dehydrated, sensitive and oily skin. It suits anyone who found the original formulation too sticky, anyone layering serum under makeup, and anyone whose skin feels tight after long hours in air conditioning. It pairs comfortably with niacinamide, vitamin C, peptides and caffeine. Use it under a moisturiser rather than in place of one.
