Most loved serum. Period.
Of all the many serums I have tried from the Ordinary, and any other skincare line, this is without a doubt my favorite. I buy it again and again. I would say the best way to describe the effect this has on my fair, dry, sensitive skin is: strength. My skin feels protected, firm, bouncy, and strong ...

Still on the fence about this product!
I have to give 3 stars to this product because, after using all the content of the bottle over the course of various months, I am still confused about whether I actually liked it or not. For a bit of context: I have dry skin, which can really only take as much in terms of the amount of products I l...

The ONLY hydrating product that ACTUALLY works on my skin. I always feel hydrated to the max when I use this as my 1st step in skincare. PLEASE RESTOCK IT. MY SKIN HAS BEEN CRISPY FOR A MONTH WAITING
It left a crispy film on my face

Amino Acid left a crispy film on my face. It made other stuff I applied after it hard to penetrate the film it created. I so much want to like this. But to me, hyaluronic acid seems easier to be absorbed and does not block the passage for other ingredients.
Not sure if doing anything
Verified Reviewer

I'm honestly not sure if it's doing anything, I was hoping it would reduce my dark eye circles after reading a review that said it helped, but no such luck. It does feel like it's moisturizing my face but I can't put it on my hormonal acne (which I put salicylic acid on) because it ends up making it more red. This has a water texture so it drips a bit everywhere while you're trying to put drops on your face (and putting it on your hands to then rub on your face doesn't make your face feel as moisturized). Has a fun tingle. Takes a bit of time to sink in, and then I use the ordinary moisturizer. Face feels sticky for a while but hydrated.
Sad this broke me out

I thought this would add moisture but it added pimples. 5%Pycnogenol 5% is working great though.
