The whisper

A polarizing staple that divides the room

While some find it an essential, reliable hydrator, others struggle with the sticky texture and absorption issues of the current formula.

Users highly value this serum for its effective hydration, soothing properties, and affordability, though many warn about its tendency to pill if rubbed or used under makeup.

😊

粘稠的玻尿酸质地，但蛮好吸收的，肤感不厚重...没有香味这点好评。

Viscous hyaluronic acid texture, but absorbs well, doesn't feel heavy... no fragrance is a plus.

😊

补水、舒缓效果不错...一定要按压在脸部。假设很追求肤感的人...建议谨慎够入。

Hydration and soothing effects are good... must press into the face. If you're picky about texture... buy with caution.

😊

我用酸的时候一定会配它...皮肤会觉得稳下来，也比较不容易泛红或紧绷。

I always pair it with acids... the skin feels stabilized and is less prone to redness or tightness.

😊

这哪是精华啊根本就是液体面膜！！...整张脸亮得像刚剥壳的鸡蛋！

This isn't just a serum, it's a liquid mask!! ...The whole face glows like a freshly peeled egg!

Users generally praise the serum for its affordability and hydrating properties, though many emphasize that it must be applied to damp skin to avoid stickiness, pilling, or a drying effect. While many consider it a staple, some users report dissatisfaction with the reformulated version or find the texture problematic.

😊

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum is, in my opinion, the brand’s best product.

👎

I hate that no one ever mentions never go use hyaluronic acid on dry skin

👎

The new formula is awful! It does not absorb into the skin it makes my skin feel

👎

I guess I would say that this is just ordinary. It's a little bit sticky. I feel like it sits on top of my skin.

😊

Best serum I tried, best, it is so soft. 100% recommend!😍
