‘Better than the original’: The Ordinary has redesigned its bestselling serum and fans are obsessed – here’s what’s new
THE Ordinary is one of our favourite beauty brands for effective yet affordable skincare, and one of its bestselling products has just got even better.
The Ordinary's £9 skincare staple has recently been reformulated to have even more skin-boosting benefits, plus an improved texture – and we're obsessed all over again.
- The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, £8.80 –
Available from the new and improved Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is priced at £8.80.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) should be a staple in any skincare routine; it hydrates, plumps and smooths the skin, is suitable for all skin types, and works well alongside any other product.
At less than £9, is, in our minds, one of the best hyaluronic acid serums – and according to shoppers, it's just got even better.

As its name suggests, this serum already contained hyaluronic acid at a 2% percentage – five different forms of Hyaluronic Acid in fact, to deliver maximum hydration alongside vitamin B5.
The new formulation now also includes ceramides, which strengthen the skin barrier and help to lock in moisture.
Responding to customer feedback, now also has a lighter texture, sinking quickly into the skin without any greasy feeling or pilling under other products.
