The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) is the updated second-generation formulation of the brand's cult-favorite hydrating serum. It combines a powerful blend of ingredients for enhanced hydration, barrier support, and visibly smoother skin — all at The Ordinary's signature accessible price.
This serum delivers multi-depth hydration thanks to low, medium, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid that draws moisture into multiple layers of the skin. The addition of ceramides (phospholipids and sphingolipids) reinforces the skin barrier, while panthenol (provitamin B5) soothes and supports recovery. The result is plumper, softer, more comfortable skin without any heaviness or stickiness.

- After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops to the face.
- Gently press into skin, focusing on areas that feel tight or dehydrated.
- Allow to absorb before layering on serums, oils, or moisturizer.
- Use morning and evening.
- Always follow with SPF 30+ during the day to protect your hydrated skin.
For best results: Apply to slightly damp skin so the hyaluronic acid can draw in extra moisture. Always seal in with a moisturizer — without one, HA can pull water from your skin instead of into it in dry climates.
Pro tip: Pair with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% in the morning for hydration + oil control, or layer under The Ordinary "Buffet" peptide serum at night for plumping anti-aging benefits.
Safety: If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
