The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics

Editor's Take
For once, the ocean-themed bottle went to the ocean; the featherweight hydration feels purposeful, not like hyaluronic acid with a nautical costume.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.2 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.8 / 10
- Clean Standards: 8.0 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 8.4 / 10
The Verdict
The efficacy is Exceptional, with Glycerin, Algae Extract, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, and an amino-acid complex supporting lightweight hydration. Its clean profile is Excellent, while the technology is Modern and the sustainability profile is Exceptional. Dimethyl Isosorbide and Ethoxydiglycol aid delivery without turning this into another tacky, polymer-heavy hyaluronic acid serum. A credible daily hydrator for dehydrated skin that dislikes sticky layers.
