Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution Serums

The Ordinary's primary hyaluronic acid product for skincare is the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum, which is available in both an Original Formulation and a newer version "with Ceramides". These are topical skincare serums, not injectable dermal fillers (which are medical procedures administered by professionals). 

Product Descriptions

Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) - Reformulated Version

This is a second-generation, water-based serum designed to deliver multi-layer hydration and reinforce the skin's moisture barrier. 

Key Ingredients: It features five forms of hyaluronic acid (low-, medium-, and high-molecular-weight, plus a crosspolymer and hydrolyzed HA) to hydrate various layers of the skin's surface. It also includes pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) to enhance moisture retention and ceramides to lock in water and support the skin barrier.

Benefits: It targets dehydration and signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. It is clinically shown to provide instant hydration and result in firmer, plumper, and smoother skin over time.

Texture and Application: The formula has a lightweight, non-tacky texture that absorbs quickly. It is suitable for all skin types and can be used in both morning and night routines after cleansing and before heavier creams.

Sustainability: It is cruelty-free, vegan, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free. 

Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (Original Formulation)

This version offers a richer serum texture and is designed for those who prefer a less lightweight feel. 

Key Ingredients: It contains four types of hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin B5.

Benefits: It hydrates, smooths the skin, and works to strengthen the skin barrier.

Texture: The original formulation is known to have a slightly richer, sometimes stickier, texture compared to the newer version. 

Note on Dermal Fillers

It is important to distinguish these topical serums from injectable hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (e.g., Juvéderm, Restylane). The latter are medical-grade products used in cosmetic procedures to restore facial volume and fill deep wrinkles, and are administered by qualified healthcare professionals.
