  • Water-like, non-greasy formula absorbs instantly without leaving oily residue on skin

Moisture your complexion with The Ordinary Amino Acids + B5, a lightweight serum that reinforces skin's natural barrier function while it also keeps it hydrated, smooth and healthy.

Suitable for all skin types, The Ordinary Amino Acids + B5 oil contains plumping amino acids and their derivatives to strengthen your skin's barrier while promoting elasticity and optimal hydration. The 17% concentration of amino acids resembles the composition found naturally in the skin, so will help to maintain its moisture and texture, keeping it protected and giving it a supple and healthy feel.

Comprised of 5% pro-vitamin B5 D-Panthenol, which is crucial in helping the skin to defend itself from damaging free radicals linked to premature ageing. Vitamin B5 also moisturises the surface and lower levels of the epidermis, while aiding the skin in its natural repair process to soothe inflammation for healthier, comfortable skin.

Why We Love It

The Ordinary Amino Acids + B5 is perfect for anyone who is looking for a hydrating formula that doesn't weigh down skin. Its water-like, non-greasy formula is charged with skin-loving ingredients that are instantly absorbed into the skin without feeling oily. Amino Acids + B5 will work wonders for all skin types, but its non-oily and ultra-lightweight texture make this an ideal choice for those with oilier skin.

How To Use It

Apply a few drops to the face using the built-in pipette in the morning and evenings before using your creams.

Note: A slight tingling sensation can be expected after application, if it's too strong to tolerate, simply add this formula to other creams or serums to reduce the strength.
