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 ...

I have very dry, dehydrated skin and a rough flakey patch on my face that shows up every winter. This product really keeps it at bay. I use it after cleansing, before moisturizing. I also only need about half as much moisturizer when I use this.

I bought this yesterday and I already see a difference. It put my full dry skin back to life . I also immediately seen a reduction of wrinkles around my mouth the next morning when putting this on my face before bedtime. For my best results I put the serum on then use an aveeno lotion on top. Perfect pair !
Great alternative to hyaluronic acid

I had a reaction to the hyaluronic acid, but I still needed the extra hydration…this works great without the irritation! I've been using it morning and night before niacinimide and moisturizer…amazing combination!

I use a prescription retinoid nightly. I use this amino acid serum as a first step after cleansing and before application of my retold lotion. It provides a layer of protection AND improves my skin. I use this twice daily and could not be happier. I will continually repurchase and I recommend.
First step after cleansing
I use prescription retinoid nightly. I wanted a serum to moisturize my skin before application. This serum works really well. It makes my skin plumper, hydrated and smoother. It is high on my favorite serums list. I use it twice daily.
