About this product

This multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum from The Ordinary combines three forms of hyaluronic acid — high-molecular-weight HA for surface hydration, low-molecular-weight sodium hyaluronate for deeper penetration, and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer for sustained release — alongside panthenol (B5) for barrier support. Lightweight and suitable for layering under any moisturiser.

In a nutshell

Best for oily, dry, combination, normal, sensitive skin looking to address dryness, dehydration, fine lines & wrinkles — with a focus on hydration.

Dermatologist Note

The addition of vitamin B5 (panthenol) enhances the film-forming and water-binding capacity of hyaluronic acid. Always apply to damp skin and seal with a moisturizer — hyaluronic acid without an occlusive on top can increase TEWL in low-humidity environments.
