FAQs
How often should I use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5?
For best results, apply a few drops to your face in the morning and evening, before creams or oils. Consistent daily use helps maintain hydration levels.
Can I use this serum with other The Ordinary products?
Yes, this serum is highly compatible with most The Ordinary products. Apply it before heavier formulations like oils or suspensions. If combining with Vitamin C suspensions, consider alternating application times (e.g., HA in the morning, Vitamin C at night) to avoid potential pilling or reduce irritation for sensitive skin.
What does 'multi-depth hydration' mean?
Multi-depth hydration refers to the serum's ability to hydrate different layers of the skin. By utilizing five forms of hyaluronic acid with varying molecular weights, it ensures moisture is delivered and retained not just on the surface, but also deeper within the epidermis, leading to more comprehensive and lasting hydration.
Is this serum suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic and helps support the skin barrier, which can be beneficial for irritated or compromised skin.
How should I store the product?
Store the serum in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain its efficacy and shelf life.
What is the role of Pro-vitamin B5 in this formula?
Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol) plays a crucial role in supporting the skin's barrier function. It helps the skin form key barrier components like ceramides and fatty acids, which in turn helps lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated for longer, enhancing its overall health and resilience.
Troubleshooting
Serum is pilling or feeling sticky on skin.
Ensure your skin is slightly damp before application. Use only a few drops and gently pat into the skin rather than rubbing excessively. Allow each product to fully absorb before applying the next layer.
Not seeing results as quickly as expected.
Skincare results can vary; clinical testing shows improvements after 1 week, with more significant changes at 2 and 4 weeks. Consistency is key; use the serum twice daily as directed for optimal benefits.
Experiencing minor irritation or redness.
While Hyaluronic Acid and Pro-vitamin B5 are generally well-tolerated, if irritation occurs, reduce frequency of use (e.g., once a day or every other day) and ensure no other irritating ingredients are being used concurrently. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
