If you are looking for a bit of hydration that packs a punch, we'd like to introduce you to The Ordinary’s Amino Acids + B5.
This concentrated solution includes Amino Acids and Amino Acid derivatives (17% by weight) to provide enhanced barrier support, promote skin elasticity, and elevate the skin’s own hydrating capacity. This resembles the composition of Amino Acids found in the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factors and provides enhanced barrier support, elasticity, osmotic balance and desquamation.
The formulation also includes a 5% (by weight) concentration of D-Panthenol, which is a pro-vitamin of Vitamin B5, aiming to provide surface and below-surface hydration while aiding in skin repair and anti-irritant functions.
All this good stuff comes in a non-greasy, hydrating serum that quickly absorbs into the skin and can be applied as one of the first steps of your AM and PM routine.
