The Ordinary Revamps Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Ceramides in 2024
Since its debut in 2016, The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum has been a beloved product. In 2024, it underwent a reformulation that introduced ceramides, enhancing its moisturizing properties and texture. The updated version is slightly yellow and thinner, while still featuring five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for deep hydration. Additionally, panthenol (vitamin B5) adds soothing qualities, complemented by glycerin and tocopherol. This serum is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from silicone, oil, gluten, and alcohol. Offered in 1 oz and 2 oz bottles, it boasts six benefits, such as improved elasticity and a lightweight feel. Experts suggest using one to two drops on damp skin to maximize results.
