The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum – Multi-Depth Hydration for Plumper, Smoother Skin (with Ceramides) is a lightweight water-based serum designed to deeply hydrate the skin while also supporting a stronger moisture barrier. It is an upgraded version of The Ordinary’s classic hyaluronic acid formula, now enhanced with ceramides for improved barrier repair and long-lasting hydration.

This serum works by using multiple forms of hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture at different layers of the skin. The addition of ceramides helps lock in that hydration, while pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) soothes and supports skin repair. The result is smoother, plumper, and more resilient-looking skin with regular use.

It absorbs quickly, layers easily under moisturizers, and is suitable for all skin types—especially dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin.
