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...

Weird texture

I can't get part the weird texture of this product. It just makes my skin uncomfortable. I thought I'd try to work it into my night routine because it makes my makeup pill, but it didn't work well with that either. I just can't stand the feeling of it.
The serum feels too oily on my skin
Verified Buyer
Reviewed at
This product is described as water-based serum. I have tried many other water-based serums from The Ordinary, I liked all of them, but this one is different. It's still somehow "oily", or at least it feels like this on my skin when I apply it. The good thing is that it dries on my skin pretty quickly. Also despite being somehow oily, it doesn't clog my pores. I'm happy for that. The bad thing is that when I use this serum, any moisturizer applied on top of it creates white stains. Some moisturizers do it more, some less, I have tried few. But the white marks are always there, so I need to put really just a thin layer of moisturizer and then massage it in.
The best!

I use it after all my other serums (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, matrixyl) and before face cream. I also use this on my lips, every night. It feels good and offers to dry skin the oils that we miss. I just order my 3rd bottle because it's a must have in my routine. At first it might feel a little bit sticky but the sensation disappears after 2 minutes. The skins remains plump, hydrated and luminous (i have dry skin and i use tretinoin 5 night/week) The lips look better and fuller. I totally recommend this product!
Hydrating with a few drops but causes breakouts
Verified Buyer
Reviewed at
This is my first bottle. I have been using this for the past two weeks, only apply it at night because I have combination skin. When I am not applying makeup in the morning I tend to stick to my normal skincare routine. One thing I have noticed though is that since using this serum is causing breakouts on my forehead. I haven't had this for a long time so this is really annoying! I really like this product but decided I have to stop using it because of the breakouts. Any suggestions from anyone because I see few other posts people having similar results but no solutions.
Try This

Ordered this in my second TO order. I tried it after cleaning, on it's own, made my face really sticky. I read before bed and my eyelids were sticking to my face! Super annoying. Started using Glycolic Acid, which needs a lot of hydration afterwards. So decided to try this again since I already bought it. I use a pretty strong facial cleanser (Olay Deep Gel Cleaner with Tea Tree Oil). Glycolic Acid 3x a week. Then I use 5 drops of Marine Hyaluronics, 5 drops of this Amino Acid mixed with 2 drops Pycnogenol, then a good moisturizer (w/o HA). This regimen has completely changed my skin! It feels supple (never even understood that word until now) and hydrated and smooth. I can't even believe it! I use only lotion during the day, but this night routine is on point for me! For some reason, adding the 2 drops of Pycnogenol seems to make the Amino Acid less sticky. I really don't know why. Maybe the Marine Hyaluronics helps that too? I don't know, but it really works for me. My eyelids no longer stick, and my skin feels nourished. It's worth a shot, because if you can get this to work for you, it really is a great product!
