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...

Light and extremely hydrant

I bought this product as a light, water based hydration booster for my face but ended up loving it so much that I ordered 3 more bottles. Not only that it is so light and fresh on the skin (have no idea why other people are mentioning sticky finish) but it also drastically improved contact dermatitis on my fingers. Pro tip: I use it on wet hair to hydrate the ends and it makes it slightly more flexible and easier to brush. I am a female with oily to combination skin, 34 yo with rather sensitive, rosy skin.

To be completely honest, I have no idea what it is but this product is simply brilliant for me. I have dry skin, and I've used already several bottles of this product, which for me is a lot. I am not completely sure how to distinguish the effect because the changes were very subtle at first but the fact is, that using it, my skin is simply so much more hydrated, and no matter what moisturizer I use, I finally don't flake or don't feel the dry skin. In the beginning, I was using it twice per day, and I simply felt my skin was less dry. Now I'm using it just in the evening, and it feels good enough. It offers this solid, constant hydration. Very light, so it doesn't bother me on the face, a great first layer for other serums.
The only hydration that works for me!!

Am an ordinary addict and majority of my skincare consist of the 30 ml bottles! I love this as it always gives me the hydration I need as I have a very dry skin. The only reason I have not given it a 5 star is because there are some days when my skin is feeling sensitive and I cannot absolutely use this! It stings and burns and I cannot understand why. I have been using this over 3 years and I want to know that if stopping this product will reverse all the progress I have made with my skin? Also to note it would mean the world if Deciem start to add on their products label that it is completely fine for users with skin of colour, case in point the your AHA BHA peel is fantastic but its not good for ppl with SOC.
Amazing for repairing skin and wounds!

This is amazing for my dry, flaking skin. This is super hydrating and repairing. I also apply this whenever i have a wound on my face and it works like magic. It cuts the healing time in half! Never discontinue this please!!

Some weeks after I started using this, I was watching TV and inadvertently brushed the back of my hand against my cheek. Wow, it was so soft! Not like a 55 year old's skin at all. I thought what I had done differently with my skin routine and there was only one thing: using this product! So it's a no brainer now.
