Ordenary B5 Serum is
a popular water-based formula designed to provide multi-depth hydration and
strengthen the skin's barrier. It is suitable for all skin types, including
sensitive skin.
Introduction of Ordenary
B5 Serum:
The
Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a lightweight, non-greasy serum that offers
instant and long-lasting hydration. The formulation combines various molecular
weights of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) with Pro-vitamin B5 to target dryness, enhance
skin elasticity, and minimize the look of fine, dry lines. An updated version
(with Ceramides) is also available, which provides additional barrier support
and has a less tacky feel than the original formulation.
Benefits of Ordenary
B5 Serum:
Ø Replenishes skin hydration at
multiple surface layers for an instant plumping effect.
Ø Strengthens the skin barrier, which helps prevent
moisture loss.
Ø Enhances skin smoothness and elasticity, promoting a softer, suppler
feel.
Ø Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated
with water loss.
Ø Soothes and calms the
skin.
Ingredients of
Ordenary B5 Serum:
Ø Hyaluronic Acid (HA): A
combination of low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight HA molecules and an HA
crosspolymer that work as humectants to attract and bind water to the skin at
multiple depths.
Ø Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol): A
water-soluble vitamin that enhances surface hydration, supports the formation
of essential skin barrier components like ceramides and fatty acids, and
further helps lock in moisture.
Ø Ceramides (in the updated formula): Lipids
that naturally occur in the skin, which provide additional barrier support and
help retain moisture.
Ø Other ingredients: Aqua
(Water), Glycerin, Citric Acid, Polysorbate 20, etc.
The
serum is free of fragrance, oils, harsh alcohols, and parabens, and is
non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.
Usage Instructions of
Ordenary B5 Serum:
Ø
Cleanse your face thoroughly.
Ø
Apply a
few drops of the serum to a slightly damp face and neck
in the morning and/or evening. Applying to damp skin is important as HA draws
water, and if the skin is dry, it may pull moisture from deeper within the
skin, causing dehydration.
Ø
Gently massage the
product into the skin until absorbed (about 30-60 seconds).
Ø
Follow with a moisturizer to
lock in the hydration.
Ø
It
can be used alone or as part of a multi-step routine, applied before any
water-free solutions or heavier creams.
Side Effects of
Ordenary B5 Serum:
The
serum is generally well-received and suitable for most skin types.
Ø Irritation: If irritation occurs, cease use and
consult a physician.
Ø Stickiness/Pilling: If
the product feels too sticky or pills on the skin, you may be using too much
product at once. A few drops are typically sufficient.
Ø Dehydration: Applying the serum to dry skin in a low-humidity environment without a follow-up moisturizer may cause the skin to feel drier as the HA draws moisture out of the skin.
