Overview

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) is one of 41 skin care products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: Provides immediate, long-lasting hydration for smoother, plumper, and healthier-looking skin. Ceramides lock in moisture and support the skin’s protective barrier. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. It holds 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon from 40,454 ratings. Where that leaves it next to the rest of the shelf is set out below.

How it compares on the skin care shelf

Across the 41 rated skin care products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.6 out of 5. This one scores 4.6. That's mid-table. Star ratings won't separate this from its neighbours, so the decision comes down to pack size, price per unit and whether the specifics below suit you.

Behind that score sit 40,454 ratings, against a shelf median of 12,743. That's a deep enough base for the score to be stable, and it is the reason we rank on volume as well as stars.

Price-wise it falls in the bottom third of a shelf that stretches £1.80 to £16.70, with £9.37 in the middle. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
