The Ordinary Resurface + Hydrate Bundle features two essential skincare formulations designed to address multiple skin concerns. This suitable for all skin types set includes a synthetic oat analogues component and multi-form hyaluronic acid blend.
The Ordinary's Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Contains synthetic oat analogues (specifically avenanthramide - a key beneficial component found in oats). This ingredient is known to help target skin discomfort and dryness, which are common concerns associated with retinoid use.
Testing for The Ordinary's Retinal 0.2% Emulsion shows: Improvement in skin firmness and elasticity, Improvement of the look of lines and wrinkles, including crow's feet, frown lines and forehead wrinkles, Reduction in the appearance of dark spots
The serum-textured formula is suitable for all skin types, and is recommended for experienced users of retinoids. If you are new to using retinoids, we recommend exploring The Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, or The Ordinary's Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and progressing to higher strengths as your skin builds tolerance.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Provides instant plumping hydration to give softer, smoother, healthy-looking skin. The lightweight formula replenishes skin's hydration levels with all-day results, and helps the skin retain moisture to replump dry, dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 also promotes skin suppleness and elasticity, while minimising the appearance of fine dry lines.
This formulation contains:
5 forms of hyaluronic acid - provides hydration to multiple layers of the surface of skin. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant found naturally in the skin where it binds to water. The forms included are low-, medium- and high-molecular- weight molecules, a HA crosspolymer, and hydrolyzed HA.
Ceramides - keep moisture locked in. Ceramides are lipids (fatty molecules) found naturally in the skin that help support the skin barrier to keep skin protected and hydrated. The ceramides used in this formula are known as sphingolipids.
Pro-vitamin B5 - support the formation of key skin barrier components like ceramides and fatty acids, which further helps keep moisture locked in, keeping the skin moisturized for longer.
