Review of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum

When I find a brand that has a product that works well for me I’m always open to trying other products the brand has. That was the case for the brand The Ordinary.

After realizing that my oily skin was dehydrated I wanted to give it as much moisture and hydration as possible without adding oil. I found several products that helped but was curious if there was a serum I could add to my skincare regimen.

I saw several beauty influencers talking about integrating hyaluronic acid in their regimens and knowing that it was in some of the skincare products I used I thought that could be what I was looking for. The problem was the serums the other influencers were recommending were more than I wanted to pay.

Then I remembered about The Ordinary! I had tried out The Ordinary’s Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum and loved how it helped my oily skin. Plus, that brand is so inexpensive for such quality products. So I looked to see if The Ordinary had a hyaluronic acid serum.

I found that they had one!

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum claims to be “a lightweight water-based serum formulated with a combination of low, medium, and high molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, and a hyaluronic acid crosspolymer for multi-depth hydration.”


Some additional benefits of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum are
  • It replenishes lost moisture
  • Maintains healthy-looking skin
  • Provides enhanced barrier support for the skin
  • Has a balancing PH of 6.50 - 7.50

I’ve been using The Ordinary Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum for quite a while now and I love it and have seen better moisture retention in my skin.

I use the Hyaluronic Serum mostly as part of my nighttime routine. Sometimes during the winter when it gets really cold, I’ll use it in the morning as well to help give my skin an extra boost before heading out in the cold dry weather.


When using it at night I apply the serum after I have used my facial toner and before any other treatments or moisturizer. When using it in the morning I apply it after the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum.

Since I incorporated the Hyaluronic Serum into my skincare routine I have seen that my skin has more of a glow or radiance, the texture looks better, and my skin doesn’t get easily dry in the winter like it used to.

If you’d like to give The Ordinary Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum a try you can purchase it at UltaAmazon, or directly from the brand website.

As with any skincare product make sure to do a patch test and also see if it will interact well with your other skincare products.
