Amino Acid + B5

Share information about your product.

The Ordinary Amino Acid + B5 is a hydration support serum that works by resupplying what the skin already uses. Its 17% amino acid blend closely resembles the composition of the skin's own Natural Moisturising Factors, so rather than sitting on top as an occlusive layer, it reinforces the skin's native moisture system from within.

🎯 What It Does

• Restores natural moisture factors — replenishes the amino acids skin uses to hold water on its own
• Supports the barrier — improves resilience against dryness and external irritation
• Improves elasticity — better-hydrated skin holds its bounce
• Aids natural shedding — supports desquamation for a smoother surface
• Calms and repairs — Vitamin B5 provides anti-irritant support and aids skin repair
• Hydrates above and below the surface — works at more than one depth

🔬 Key Ingredients

• Amino Acid Complex (17% by weight) — mirrors the skin's own Natural Moisturising Factors
• D-Panthenol 5% (Pro-Vitamin B5) — hydrates, calms irritation and supports repair
• Sodium PCA & Betaine — humectants that reinforce osmotic balance

📋 How to Use

1. Apply a few drops to the face, morning and evening.
2. Use before creams and heavier treatments.
3. Follow with moisturiser and SPF in the morning.

A tingling sensation on application is expected with this formula. If it feels too strong, mix it into a cream or serum of your choice before applying to soften the effect.
