Does it’s purpose. The product is genuine and does what it claims. Not sticky. And yes it’s expensive but it only needs few drops per day so it will last long. Takes time to ship but that’s okay. Shippin Overseas always takes time. For me it took exactly 13 days.

I hate my hands.
No, genuinely. I always have. But once I stopped being twenty, I hated them even more. Genetics plus winter conditions turned my hands into something truly upsetting, and I was not emotionally prepared for that stage of life yet.
I originally bought this for my face, and it works great there. Then one day I had a thought. What if I tried this on my hands?
Two months later, my hands are still subject to genetics, but I am no longer embarrassed by them, which honestly feels like a miracle.
I use this morning and night. I put a small amount on the backs of my hands, rub it in, then seal it with a shea butter lotion. I have never had a reaction.
It dries quickly. It is a bit sticky at first, then slightly tacky, and then it absorbs completely. It dries clear, leaves no residue, and does not interfere with touching things or living your life.
The results are genuinely impressive. My hands stay hydrated, they glow, and they look plumper. The wrinkly “I’m freezing and somehow also beef jerky” look I was rocking has left the building. The effects actually last, too, which matters.
For the price, this is outstanding.
Hyaluronic acid really is your skin’s best friend. There is no scent, no grease, and no nonsense. I am a huge fan of this brand overall, and the Hyaluronic Acid with B5 is an absolute staple for me now.
If your skin has personally offended you, try this.

**Title:** my skin’s daily drink of hydration ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 has become a staple in my skincare routine. I use it every morning and night before my moisturizer, and it makes my skin feel instantly plumper, softer, and more hydrated. The formula sinks in quickly without any stickiness, leaving my skin smooth and refreshed.
I’ve noticed my makeup goes on much better since using this, and my dry patches have completely disappeared. The addition of B5 and ceramides really helps strengthen my skin barrier, especially during colder months. It’s affordable, effective, and gentle—honestly one of the best hydrating serums I’ve ever used.

I hesitate to leave such a strongly positive review for fear that the price will go up. However, I have to let people know that I’ve been using this product for about a month, and in that time the number of compliments I’ve received about my skin has increased tenfold! My skin feels smooth and very clear. Not dry.
The serum absorbs within about 20 seconds. After it dries completely, sometimes I’ll put a layer of night cream over it when I’m not feeling lazy. But I do highly recommend this, and I’ll be getting a subscription!

I’ve been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, and it has become a staple in my skincare routine. It provides instant hydration and helps keep my skin feeling plump, smooth, and comfortable throughout the day.
The texture is lightweight and slightly gel-like, absorbs quickly, and layers perfectly with other products without pilling. I apply it on damp skin, and it makes a noticeable difference in how hydrated and healthy my skin looks.
Over time, my skin feels softer, more balanced, and less tight, especially during dry weather. It works well both morning and night, and it’s gentle enough for everyday use, even on sensitive skin.
Another big plus is the price and bottle size—you get excellent quality without spending a lot, which is rare for a hyaluronic acid serum this effective.

Great quality, especially for the price. The brand I used to use is a bit expensive so I put off buying more until my skin got way too dry because of the winter weather. Luckily, this serum is half the price and works just as well if not better. It dries a bit tacky at first but it’s smooth once I layer some other moisturizer on top. This stuff fixed my skin within less than a week of using it in my skincare routine each morning and night

This Ordinary serum is one of the best moisturizers for the skin. With just a few drops, your skin will be hydrated. It helps with blemishes and acne marks, and its texture is moisturizing but not greasy or sticky. It has a pleasant scent and can be used morning and night. The results are wonderful; it improved my skin’s texture, hydration, and tone. My skin feels clean, soft, fresh, and hydrated. I highly recommend it; it’s ideal for all skin types.

Since using this product I have noticed a nice difference in my skins hydration! Does not cause my face to be oily but definitely leaves my face feeling able to breath and super soft. It’s very simple to use and add in to your daily skincare routines! Its very effective on keeping your face to feel refreshed and hydrated throughout the day. After using as the directions state to use this product, I have noticed how healthy it’s making my face feel within a couple weeks. Not a very big bottle but the length of time you get out of the small bottle is a big plus. A couple little dabs do my entire face. It’s longevity is wonderful! The product itself is not super runny or thick, for me it is just the right consistency for my face. This being the first time I bought and used this item, I’m really pleased with my purchase!

Love this. Lightweight. Hydrated without being sticky or making my skin look oily. Absorbs completely so I can easily wear make up on top.

I’ve been using this hyaluronic acid consistently and it’s been a great addition to my routine. What works really well is the hydration and my skin feels noticeably more plump and moisturized, and it gives a healthy, smooth look without feeling heavy or sticky. I’ve also seen improvement in overall skin tone, which was a nice bonus. The dropper is another win since it makes dispensing the product easy, controlled, and mess-free. A little goes a long way, so it feels like a great value for the price.
As for what doesn’t work, I honestly don’t have any real complaints. It does exactly what I expect a hyaluronic acid to do, and I haven’t experienced irritation or pilling when layering with other products.
This is a great option for anyone looking for an affordable, effective hydrating serum, especially if you want something simple that plays well with the rest of your skincare routine. It’s especially good for normal to dry skin or anyone wanting a more plump, even appearance without spending a lot.
Overall, this has performed really well for me and feels comparable to more expensive serums I’ve tried. I’d definitely repurchase and recommend it if hydration and value are your priorities.
I LOVE ORDINARY PRODUCTS!!!

It helps to hydrate my skin pretty well and it is not pricey. I use it during winter and it helps when my skin dry out. I do not feel stickiness after applying on my face. However, not sure if I would buy ut again because I also would like to try other products as well

Overview: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (2026 formula with ceramides) is a game-changer for sensitive, combination skin, offering exceptional barrier repair and non-greasy hydration without irritation.
As someone with combination skin – oily T-zone and sensitive, dry patches – finding the right barrier repair can be a balancing act. I have used various hyaluronic acid (HA) serums from high-end brands, but the 2026 updated formula from The Ordinary (HA 2% + B5 with Ceramides) is a standout budget-friendly essential.
Pros:
✅ Deep Hydration without Greasiness: Balances oily T-zones while deeply hydrating dry patches.
✅ Zero Irritation for Sensitive Skin: The advanced formula eliminates stinging common with basic HA serums.
✅ Strengthens Skin Barrier: Added ceramides and Pro-Vitamin B5 lock in moisture and promote barrier repair (reduces TEWL).
✅ Non-Comedogenic & Lightweight: Safe for acne-prone skin; won’t cause breakouts or clogged pores.
✅ Improved Texture: The updated 2026 formula has a silky finish; no tackiness or pilling under makeup.
Cons:
❌ Requires Sealing for Very Dry Areas: Users with severe dry patches may still need to use an oil-based moisturiser on top.
❌ Application Matters: Must be applied to damp skin to work effectively and prevent dehydration (requires a specific application technique).
Why this is a permanent part of my 2026 routine
Zero Irritation for Sensitive Areas: Many HA serums cause a ‘stinging’ sensation on redness-prone areas. This formula feels incredibly soothing, likely due to the multi-molecular weight blend of five HA forms and skin-identical ceramides.
Balancing Combination Skin: It is exceptionally lightweight and non-comedogenic, so it doesn’t feel heavy on my oilier areas. It provides enough deep hydration to make my dry patches feel plump and supple – perfect for achieving that glass skin look.
Ceramides are the Game-Changer: While standard HA serums can sometimes feel superficial, the addition of Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and ceramides strengthens the skin barrier, keeping moisture locked in for much longer.
Improved Texture (No Stickiness): I know the original formula was known for being tacky or pilling under makeup. This updated version is not. It dries down to a smooth, silky finish that layers perfectly.
Application Tip for Maximum Absorption
I apply 2-3 drops to damp skin immediately after cleansing. This prevents ‘flash drying’ and ensures the HA doesn’t draw moisture out of the deeper layers. I then seal it with an oil-based moisturiser on my drier areas to prevent TEWL (Trans-Epidermal Water Loss). If you have oily to normal skin, this is hydrating enough to use as a standalone moisturiser in humid weather!
Improved Texture: I have read that the original formula was tacky. The updated version is not. It dries down to a smooth, comfortable finish that layers perfectly under other products or makeup without pilling. It contains ceramides and Pro-vitamin B5, which genuinely strengthen the skin barrier. Don’t be surprised by the slight yellow tint; it’s natural and helps confirm you have the new 2026 formula!
Visible Results: I noticed an instant plumping effect and minimised dehydration lines. The real change in my skin’s softness and overall barrier health appeared after about 3 weeks of consistent use.
Final Verdict
This is a fantastic, high-quality serum that finally addresses the needs of multiple skin needs and is suitable for sensitive, dry, combination and oily. skin types. It offers luxury-level performance at a very accessible price point!

Finally got rid of the rough flaky skin on my neck after an eczema outbreak that I have been experiencing for weeks. Tried elizabeth arden ceramide, retinol capsules to no avail until this first drop that i tried. Face no longer feel tight too. Real fast.

This ointment is very light and goes on very easily unfortunately it is not sticky and does not leave my skin shiny as it seems to be absorbed really quickly. There is no discernible scent to me so does not aggravate asthma. My skin feels very soft after application. Unfortunately, I am not sure how long it will last as the bottle is very small and it seems to take quite a bit to moisturize my very dry skin. The price is good with the caveat of how long it will last. I have only been using it for a week so cannot speak to any improvement of wrinkles – so certainly not an overnight fix – if there even issuch a thing. I will likely buy again when used up.

As someone with combination skin – a few oily spots and dry, sensitive patches – finding the right hydration can be a balancing act. I have used various Hyaluronic Acid (HA) serums from other brands in the past, and I can confidently say this updated formula from The Ordinary (2% + B5 with Ceramides) is a standout.
Here is why this serum is a permanent part of my 2026 routine:
Zero Irritation for Sensitive Areas: I’ve found that certain types of HA used in isolation can sometimes cause inflammation or a “stinging” sensation on my sensitive spots. This formula is different. It feels incredibly soothing and has caused zero irritation, likely due to the more sophisticated blend of five different HA forms and skin-supporting ceramides.
Balancing Combination Skin: This serum is exceptionally lightweight and non-comedogenic, so it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on my oilier areas. However, it provides enough deep hydration to help the dry patches feel plump and supple.
Ceramides are the Key: The addition of ceramides and Pro-vitamin B5 is a game-changer. While standard HA serums just sit on the surface, these ingredients help strengthen the skin barrier, keeping moisture locked in for much longer.
Layering Advice: Because I have combination skin I find that I still need to seal this in with an oil-based moisturiser on my drier areas to prevent trans-epidermal water loss. However, if you have a normal-to-oily skin type, you might find this hydrating enough to use on its own.
Application tip: I apply 2-3 drops to damp skin immediately after cleansing to maximise absorption. This will prevent the serum from drawing moisture from the deeper layers of your skin and causing dehydration in the deeper layers (very important). I then follow up with my oil-based moisturiser on top
Improved Texture: I have read that the original formula was tacky. The updated version is not. It dries down to a smooth, comfortable finish that layers perfectly under other products or makeup without pilling. It contains ceramides and Pro-vitamin B5, which genuinely strengthen the skin barrier. Don’t be surprised by the slight yellow tint; it’s natural and helps confirm you have the new 2026 formula!

I’ve been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum for a few weeks, and I’m pleased with the results. It delivers noticeable hydration my skin feels plumper and more supple. Over time, I noticed smoother texture and less dryness, especially in areas that tend to get tight or flaky. The inclusion of ceramides seems to help lock in moisture, leaving skin feeling nourished.
I like that it layers well under moisturizer and/or makeup it doesn’t pill or interfere with other products. For a budget-friendly serum, it’s very effective for maintaining hydration and improving overall smoothness.
Minor drawback: on some days with very dry skin, I feel like I need to follow up with a richer moisturizer to fully seal in the hydration using only the serum can feel a little light for deep dryness.
Overall: A solid hydration boost and great option for adding moisture and plumpness to skin, especially for normal to combination skin types. Well worth trying if you want smoother, more hydrated skin without spending much.

I really like this serum compared to others I have tried. This one is a bit thicker / less watery than my normal one, and it seems to hydrate my face a bit better. It has no scent and leaves my face feeling soft and moisturized, with no greasiness or oiliness. The quality seems great – I have no irritation or breakouts whatsoever since using this. I will definitely re-order when this bottle runs out. I like that it has simple ingredients – not a lot of “junk” going on my face with it.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and it does a great job at hydrating my skin. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and feels refreshing without any stickiness. Over time, my skin feels more plump and moisturized, especially when I follow up with a good moisturizer. It’s not an instant miracle, but with consistent use, it really helps keep dry patches at bay. Definitely worth trying if you want simple, effective hydration.
Leah Green –
Love, love, love this serum. It is so hydrating and smoothing. I don’t have sensitive skin, but it’s so gentle and it leaves my skin feeling glowy, supple, and moisturized. It’s a great price and I have noticed my skin feeling healthier and softer since the first time I used it. I use it twice a day when I wash my face in the morning/evening. Love it!

Must have product! I have bought this over ten times, and it is one of my favorite skin care products. It is extremely moisturizing as it locks the moisture into your skin. Since using it I can definitely tell a difference in my skin being tighter and more firm and hydrated. I have sensitive skin, and this has not caused any issues. It is unscented and hasn’t caused any irritation ever. The product is thick, it rubs in completely and doesn’t leave shine or any stickiness. I used it twice a day and I use it after a moisturizer to really lock that in. You could use it on its own as well.

I have bought this brand many times. I love The Ordinary brand. I use this twice a day and have noticed much improvement in my skin. It tights, firms and leaves and nice glow. My face feels soft afterwards. If you are sensitive, there is no scent to the product. I have compared the ingredients to more expensive brands in the past and they have been the same so I’m thankful I get to save money. I can definitely see great improvements and with the ingredient list the quality of this product is great! Will continue to use and purchase!

I’ve been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 daily, and it’s become a staple in my routine. The texture is lightweight and slightly viscous, but it spreads easily and absorbs well when applied to damp skin.
It gives my skin an immediate plump, hydrated look without feeling heavy or greasy. Fine lines look softer, and my skin feels smoother and more comfortable throughout the day. The added B5 really helps boost hydration and keeps my skin from feeling tight, especially during colder or drier weather.
For the price, it’s hard to beat. Simple ingredients, solid performance, and no unnecessary fragrance or irritation. If you’re looking for an affordable hydration boost that layers well with other products, this is a great option.
