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...

Broke me out, but found other great uses for it
Verified Buyer

I think the B5 in this unfortunately broke me out. However, this has been amazing for dry, chapped lips. I apply it and seal it in with vaseline. Also worked wonders on an annoying patch of eczema I had on my finger that kept getting irritated from constantly washing my hands at work. I applied it nightly and it cleared up in a week. If you aren't sensitive to B5, this will probably be a great hydrator for you.
Great for hair!!!

I bought this item a few months ago for my face (I have dry skin and hair) and it was okay at most for that, but my hair is a different story. I have coarse pretty thick Afro (type 4 looking) hair that gets easily dry. I decided to mix this with sunflower and tea tree oil as a detangler/prepoo and it has made a HUGE difference. I've been using it for a month on my hair and it retains moisture much better, it's soft and manageable and doesn't need as much TLC as it used to. Ive tried a lot of treatments and brands but adding this to your conditioner, prepoo and/or shampoo will make a difference for a fraction of the price!
Saved my face

This absolutely saved my face from a disagreement with tretinoin when hyaluronic acid did nothing. Now this is a must for my flaky winter skin.

I have been using this for a month. Went on a trip and got really sunburnt and so was trying to recover my skin….now this is literally all i need (plus spf). It makes my skin so moisturized and soft without even using any moisturizer
Dried out your skin instead of hydration

I try to purchase items regardless of reviews to try it myself but I regret my decision. This and HA both dries out your skin instead of hydration. Don't waste your money.
