The Ordinary

Amino Acids + B5 offers non-greasy hydration support for the maintenance of healthy-looking skin. This concentrated solution includes Amino Acids and Amino Acid derivatives creating a combined total concentration of 17.20% (by weight). Amino Acids make up the largest percentage composition of the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factor, a collection of water-loving components responsible for maintaining the skin's water content and osmotic balance. This formula aims to provide barrier support, improve skin hydration and visibly enhance elasticity by supporting the skin's reservoir of amino acids. The formulation also includes a 5% concentration (by weight) of D-Panthenol, a pro-vitamin of Vitamin B5, to provide surface and below-surface hydration while further supporting the skin's barrier function.

Apply a few drops to face in the AM and PM before creams. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed with other creams or serums of your preference before each application to reduce the strength. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised.
