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...

Went through my first bottle of this in a month and few days, I have combination skin, that gets dry due to prescribed tretinoin (0.05%) and this has helped my flakey and irritated skin so much. Hyaluronic acid doesn't work for my skin, but this does. The texture is like a dream, watery so it sinks right in and works as it should. But since I go through the bottle so quickly, I keep having to order two bottles at a time which feels like a waste of the bottles and the droppers. So please consider making this in a bigger size!

This is the only product that really helps my dry skin. I first started using this when I had a lot of breakouts of small itchy bumps (somewhere between acne and eczema) on my face and within 2-3 weeks it cleared completely. At one point I stopped using this serum (I ran out) and within a week the bumps were back. I immediately ordered it again and luckily it cleared my skin again in a week; so I know for sure that this product works! Highly recommended if you suffer from similar issues. Overall it also helps to keep regular acne in check and has made my skin tone more even. My only wish is that it would come in bigger quantities because it's great to use on other areas of the body that suffer from dryness too.
Very moisturising

I use this after cleaning my face with foaming gel, and I feel no need for a moisturizer afterwards. I've been using Avene for hypersensitive skin because of it's light formula, but I haven't used it since the summer -- and I always get dry skin in the winter. The liquid is very runny, so use my face-roller to catch and trap the drops. It hasn't improved my texture, and I sometimes get bumpy patches but my skin feels very smooth and elastic.
The stickiest thing I've ever put on my face

It's strange bc out of the bottle, it's a very watery substance. As soon as it touches my face, however, it turns into a tacky/filmy glue. I let it dry and then touched my face and my hand literally was stuck and peeled off of it.

How do you layer this if we use multiple serums? How does it pair with Glycolic acid creams, retinol, Vitamin C and hyaluronic acids?
