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...

Lovely hydration, but causes breakouts
Verified Buyer
Reviewed at
I bought this product before winter starts and recently started using it. Since I read about the stickiness, I decided to mix this with my Buffet in the same manner that I would also use my Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, and I never had an issue with stickiness. Unfortunately, I did find that my skin broke out within a day of using it, and the breakout was quite bad and painful. It's not like I never get a pimple, but when I do, it's hormonal and not all over my face. With the use of this product, it's in various places on my face where I haven't had a breakout in a decade or more. I can say that the hydration after I applied the product, is lovely, but the breakouts that came with it means that I will definitely not continue to use it.

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 after I use it. It is light and feels like a deep drink of water. When I ruined my skin barrier a few years ago I broke out in acne and dry skin patches. This serum helped restore my skin barrier and clear my skin. I'm 29. I have been using this for about 4 years. I wear it morning and night under my moisturizers. It will continue to be a staple of my routine indefinitely.
Adds a nice hydrating film to dry skin

I'm about 3/4 of the way through a bottle and will definitely reorder. I have dry, sensitive skin and I layer many different products in my routine. With this product I have discovered I can use quite a few less products in the morning. My routine: AM; wash with The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Vitamin C serum Tony Molly Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors Skin Aqua Super Moisture Gel sunscreen I do find that it makes any products you put on top harder to absorb. I make sure that I let things dry before trying to put my sunscreen on. Takes a little bit longer to get the sunscreen to rub in and dry, but once it's on it looks great! Gives a nice plump glowing look to my face. Don't use too much, three or four drops is plenty
Hydrates but not very comfortable to wear
Verified Reviewer

Hydrates not bad but leaves a bit sticky layer and doesn't get along with all makeup bases. Also, I feel hydration only while it's on my skin. After using it for several months my skin is still dry after each washing even with super gentle cleanser.
Not that moisturising

I tought this would do good for my dry skin but it doesn't feel very moisturising and skin still feels tight and dry after using this in combo with the HYDRATORSNatural moisturizing factors + ha. I will go back to the Hyaluronic acid 2% + b5 serum . That one leaves my skin realy hydrated.

How do you layer this if we use multiple serums? How does it pair with Glycolic acid creams, retinol, Vitamin C and hyaluronic acids?
