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.

Sticky to the touch

I simply cannot stand how this product feels on the skin. It feels so sticky to the point I feel it just sits on the surface of the face. I regret purchasing this so-called water-based hydrator, which is too heavy(STICKY to the max).

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I have dry, often dehydrated skin, I use this every day as a first thing after washing my face. No smell, no texture, very very light watery serum, goes in to the skin immediately, and fits with other serums well. I would recommend!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I love this Amino acid plus B5 serum. I add 2-3 drops to my moisturizer and I get added hydration. My skin loves it and it plumps my skin up. My skin feels hydrated all day. I have recommended to my family and friends. They love it too ! One of my favorites from the Ordinary.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I am so so upset that this has caused me to breakout so badly, even when I was having pimples it was never like this and some are so sore. I will be travelling next week and wanted to make my skin nice and now I have just made it worse… I understand everyone has a different reaction but mine was definitely not good and I am so upset

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

How do you layer this if we use multiple serums? How does it pair with Glycolic acid creams, retinol, Vitamin C and hyaluronic acids?
Asked by Judy
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Hi there! Amino Acids + B5 has no conflicts and can be applied after cleansing and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner. We recommend applying based on thinnest to thickest consistency. If using serums with a similar consistency, feel free to layer based on order of concern. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
