The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics excels in delivering significant hydration with a barely-there feel. Upon application, its exceptionally lightweight texture spreads easily and absorbs rapidly, leaving no sticky residue. Users often report an immediate sensation of improved skin moisture, with the serum working to target hydration below the skin surface.
Over time, regular use contributes to a softer, plumper complexion, making skin feel more supple and hydrated throughout the day. It's particularly effective for those who find traditional hyaluronic acid serums too thick or heavy, or who live in humid climates where heavy products can feel uncomfortable. Its water-based nature makes it an excellent choice for layering, providing a foundational layer of hydration before applying oils, creams, or makeup.
Application Tips:
Cleanse & Tone: Begin with clean, toned skin.
Apply to Damp Skin: Dispense a few drops into your palm. Gently press onto slightly damp face and neck. Applying to damp skin can help draw more moisture in.
Pat, Don't Rub: Lightly pat the product into your skin until absorbed.
Follow Up: Proceed with heavier serums, moisturizers, and SPF as part of your routine. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for both morning and evening use.
Upon receiving your Marine Hyaluronics, twist open the dropper cap. Before first use, you may need to squeeze the dropper bulb a few times to draw the product into the pipette. Apply to cleansed and toned skin as directed in the 'Performance & Real-World Use' section.
Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, combination, and dry skin, due to its lightweight and hydrating properties.
Age Group: Designed for adults (unisex).
Product Layering: Its water-based formula makes it highly compatible with most other serums, oils, and moisturizers. Apply before heavier creams or oils. It can be easily integrated into existing skincare routines.
Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve ingredient efficacy.
Seal: Ensure the dropper cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air exposure and contamination.
Hygiene: Avoid touching the dropper directly to your skin to maintain product purity.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M for 6 months), to determine its recommended shelf life after opening.
