Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
LumiRise Editorial Pick
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is a hydration-focused serum from The Ordinary. LumiRise presents it as a supporting step for comfort and plumpness of look — always sealed with moisturizer, and never marketed here as a medical treatment.

Why It's Worth Exploring
- Hyaluronic acid is a humectant commonly used to support the feel of hydrated skin.
- Vitamin B5 (panthenol) often appears in comforting, hydrating formulas.
- It can sit quietly in a minimal routine without competing with a single chosen active.
Ingredient Breakdown
Verified key ingredients and the role each is generally understood to play. Percentages are taken from the product label; this is not an independent laboratory analysis.
- Hyaluronic acid (multi-weight) 2%
- A humectant that draws water toward the skin’s surface. Multi-weight formulas hydrate at different depths.
- Vitamin B5 (panthenol)
- A comforting, hydrating ingredient often used in soothing formulas.
Who May Consider It
Almost anyone. A hydration support step suits most routines and rarely conflicts with actives. Apply to damp skin and seal with moisturiser.
Our Editorial Perspective
A quiet, supporting step rather than a treatment active. We return to it because it never argues with anything else in the routine. Editorial product overview, not a firsthand review.
Until a product has been personally tested by our editors, we describe these pages as editorial product overviews, not firsthand reviews.
How It May Fit Into a Routine
A general educational sequence only. Skincare needs vary. Follow the manufacturer's directions and consider professional advice for persistent or concerning issues.
- 01Cleanse
- 02Hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin if that suits you
- 03Moisturizer to seal
- 04Sunscreen in the morning
Things to Consider
- In very dry air, humectants work best when followed by an occlusive or richer cream.
- More hydration layers are not always better; watch for pilling under sunscreen.
- This is not an exfoliant or a spot treatment.
- Follow manufacturer directions on amount and order of application.
