there's better out there!
i like the ordinary. most of their products are wonderful and, impressively, effective. especially for being on the cheaper side. however, their hyaluronic acid serum isn't as impressive. i want to say I'm in love with this one, but i barely saw any results.

as i incorporated this serum into my routine, my skin felt a lot smoother like a baby's bum. i would use it Show more
