We cannot scroll through TikTok without someone recommending yet another skincare product that they claim is the best, but how can we determine what is actually worthy of a purchase when influencers are recommending something different every other day?
One thing that helps us decide is to focus on the real-life reviews, and there's one viral serum that women are praising - the Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, which you can buy here.
The Ordinary serum, available to buy here, is a total game-changer for any woman with dry and sensitive skin.
This serum is an updated version of the original formulation, but with added ingredients to enhance hydration, barrier support, and smoother skin.
The addition of ceramides provides barrier support while retaining multi-depth hydration benefits.

The serum features five types of hyaluronic acid that work together to hydrate the surface of the skin at multiple levels, re-plumping dry, dehydrated areas and improving suppleness.
The Irish weather can wreak havoc on our skin during the winter months, so having a product like this is essential.

If, like me, your skin is recovering from acne treatment, then this is a great product to introduce hydration and repair your skin barrier.
Ceramides, a natural lipid found in the skin, lock in water while strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier.
The Ordinary serum absorbs quickly and dries to a non-tacky finish, which means you can easily layer it with other products.
Many shoppers have described this as 'the best serum ever', with others confirming it gets rid of dry skin instantly.
One wrote, "I add two drops of it to my moisturizer before applying, which also helps to slacken the moisturizing cream for an even spread. Can’t live without it now."
Another added, "I've only been using this for a few weeks along with other Ordinary things and the Vitamin C at night, and I am shocked that my spots are all gone!!! I keep waking every morning scared that the painful spots will be back, but they don't!"
