Marine Hyaluronics

Product Overview

Experience the weightless power of the ocean with The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics. This exceptionally lightweight serum is a high-performance alternative to traditional Hyaluronic Acid, specifically designed for those who prefer a "water-thin" texture that absorbs instantly. By utilizing marine-derived reservoirs of moisture—including skin-friendly bacteria, Hawaiian red algae, and Antarctic glycoproteins—this serum directs intense hydration exactly where your skin needs it most. The result is a visibly softer, plumper, and more hydrated complexion without any of the tackiness or "weight" associated with thicker serums.

Key Benefits

• Intense Surface Hydration: Targets dehydration at the skin's surface for an immediate plumping effect.
• Weightless Texture: A water-based formula that feels like "nothing" on the skin, perfect for layering.
• HA-Alternative Technology: Uses marine exopolysaccharides that behave like Hyaluronic Acid but with a thinner consistency.
• Immediate Softness: Leaves the skin feeling silky and refined within seconds of application.
• Anti-Aging Support: Hydrated skin is more resilient against the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Rapid Absorption: Sinks into the skin immediately, making it ideal for fast-paced morning routines.
• Non-Sticky Finish: Zero tackiness, ensuring a smooth base for any subsequent skincare or makeup.
• Skin Barrier Support: Enriched with amino acids to help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier.
• Cooling Sensation: Provides a refreshing, cooling effect upon application—perfect for hot climates.
• Versatile Layering: Can be used alongside any other serum without the risk of pilling.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• Pseudoalteromonas Exopolysaccharides: Derived from skin-friendly marine bacteria, these molecules have an incredible ability to retain water, acting as a lightweight reservoir for continuous hydration.
• Ahnfeltia Concinna Extract (Hawaiian Red Algae): A rich source of minerals and nutrients that provides a protective, hydrating film over the skin surface.
• Antarctic Marine Glycoproteins: Sourced from the extreme cold of the Antarctic, these proteins help the skin resist dehydration and maintain its structural integrity.
• Micro-filtered Blue-Green Algae: Provides antioxidant benefits while supporting the skin's natural repair processes.
• Essential Amino Acids: A blend of amino acids that mimic the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) to keep the barrier strong and supple.

FAQ

Q: How does this differ from Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5?
A: Marine Hyaluronics has a much thinner, water-like consistency. While both provide deep hydration, Marine Hyaluronics is favored by those who prefer a non-tacky finish and instant absorption.

Q: Does it have a scent?
A: Because it contains natural marine ferments and algae, some users may notice a very faint, natural marine scent upon application. This is normal and dissipates quickly as the product dries.

Q: Can I use this with Vitamin C or Retinol?
A: Yes! Marine Hyaluronics has no known conflicts and is the perfect soothing base to apply before your active treatments like Retinol or Vitamin C.

Q: Is it safe for acne-prone skin?
A: Absolutely. It is water-based and non-comedogenic, making it an excellent choice for keeping acne-prone skin hydrated without clogging pores.

Q: Why is the texture so watery?
A: The formula is designed to mimic the viscosity of water to ensure it can penetrate the skin's surface quickly and efficiently without the need for thickeners.

Q: Can I use this around my eyes?
A: Yes, it is gentle enough for the eye area and can help hydrate fine dehydration lines around the eyes.
