Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
A hydration workhorse at a throwaway price: well-dosed, disclosed and exactly what it says. Just be clear on what it is not. This is the look of plumper hydration, not fine-line or tone work, and it is priced honestly for that.
- Evidence21 / 30
Strength of the research behind the key actives
- Hyaluronic Acid: moderate evidence
- Score is the average of the key actives’ evidence grades.
- Potency25 / 25
Dosed at studied levels, not fairy-dusted
- Hyaluronic Acid (2%): dosed at a clinical, high-end level for its category
- Potency tracks how strongly the actives are dosed, led by the strongest, not how many there are.
- Delivery & stability14 / 20
Delivery tech + packaging that protects fragile actives
- Delivery: standard
- Packaging: clear dropper
- No fragile actives here, so packaging barely moves the score.
- Formulation6 / 10
Disclosure, active breadth, and ingredient generation
- 1 of 1 actives disclose a concentration
- 1 key active (breadth credit caps at 3)
- No current-generation or synergy bonus
- Value15 / 15
What a month of use costs vs. the category
- About $6 per month to use
- $9.9 for 30 ml, used about twice a day (about 0.3 ml each time), so a bottle lasts about 1.7 months
- Band: $6/month or less earns full marks, $60/month or more hits the floor.

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Hyaluronic Acid | 2% | Clinical |
2% hyaluronic acid across a range of molecular weights with provitamin B5, disclosed, in a plain glass dropper. It is a humectant hydrator, full stop. It makes skin look plumper and dewier while it sits there and does not pretend to be an anti-aging active. Neither ingredient is fragile, so the clear dropper is a non-issue. In a dry climate, use it on damp skin and seal it, or HA can pull the wrong way.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
