Key Ingredients & The Science Behind Them
5 Types of Hyaluronic Acid This serum goes far beyond a standard Hyaluronic Acid formula. It combines five distinct molecular forms ā low-molecular-weight, medium-molecular-weight, high-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid Crosspolymer, and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid. Each molecular size penetrates a different depth of the skin, creating a comprehensive hydration network from the surface layer down to deeper skin tissue. The result is visible plumping, reduced appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration, and restored skin suppleness that lasts throughout the day.
Ceramides Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that make up approximately 50% of the skin's barrier structure. As we age ā or due to environmental damage ā ceramide levels decline, leading to moisture loss, sensitivity, and compromised skin health. This formulation replenishes ceramides directly, helping to seal the skin barrier, lock in the hydration delivered by the Hyaluronic Acid complex, and shield the skin from external aggressors such as pollution, temperature changes, and UV exposure.
Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) Panthenol is a humectant and skin-conditioning agent that supports the natural production of ceramides and fatty acids within the skin. It works synergistically with both the Hyaluronic Acid complex and the Ceramides ā enhancing the skin's own ability to attract and retain moisture over time. Clinical studies confirm Panthenol's effectiveness in improving skin softness, elasticity, and barrier integrity with consistent use.
Together: This trio of actives creates a complete hydration and barrier support system ā making it one of the most scientifically advanced yet affordable hydration serums available in Europe today.

How to Use The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 with Ceramides
Step 1 ā Cleanse Start with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Pat your face dry ā leaving skin slightly damp is ideal as Hyaluronic Acid draws in surrounding moisture.
Step 2 ā Apply Serum Dispense 2ā3 drops onto your fingertips. Apply evenly across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Gently press into skin rather than rubbing.
Step 3 ā Layer Correctly This is a water-based serum ā apply it before heavier creams, facial oils, or moisturizers. It works perfectly as the first or second step after cleansing in your routine.
Step 4 ā Morning & Evening Use twice daily ā morning and night ā for optimal hydration. During daytime use, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
