The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
The Stats: 4.2 stars, 360K loves, 2K reviews
The Active Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 work in tandem to deliver serious hydration to parched pores, according to the label on this insanely affordable serum.
The Promising Review: "I love this hyaluronic serum much more than any other I have ever tried and the low price is amazing! It's very important to know that hyaluronic acid on its own will not hydrate your skin, but when you use this under your favorite moisturizer, that's when the magic happens." — Robin931
Apply hyaluronic acid serums immediately after cleansing your skin, while your skin is still damp. Follow with a moisturizer to seal in hydration.

I think the mix of an oil with the retinol really balances this product for most skin types. I put it on at night, and when I wake up in the morning, my skin looks dewy and refreshed. I'm hooked." — Jmadison
