Thoughts:
- Not a product I really need? Great to use, feels wonderful, I can see and feel the difference but somehow I use it, then don't use it, when I don't use it I don't miss it but when I use it I absolutely love it??? I guess it is all about how my skin is doing at the moment.
+ Leaves skin smooth and soft. Absolutely lovely feeling on skin. I like using it.
+ No tingling for me (The Ordinary says you might experience some).
+ Just like water, "absorbs" immediately, if you can say so. It disappears but leaves the soft film like feeling on skin.
+ Works well with all of my other products.
+ Very hydrating and moisturizing for the watery consistency.
+ No scent.

+ Great extra serum during winter. Can replace moisturizer during summer if it's hot and humid (which it rarely is though) or if the sunscreen is moisturizing. Good base for makeup, doesn't pill.
+ Includes 5% of Panthenol. Haven't straight out noticed that the serum would be soothing/repairing though. Probably still helps the feel/hydration of the serum.

* I have read somewhere people discussing that there's no need for Amino Acids + B5 if you are already using NMF in some other product, like The Ordinary's NMF Moisturizer. Still, in my opinion, both are different products and useful in their own ways, very versatile. That is if you need them.
* I said that the serum doesn't cause tingling for me, but once I just went and patted three (!) layers on because my skin felt so smooth after adding it, and I got the great idea of seeing what would happen if I put more... well... that I could call tingling and tickling for about 20 minutes :). It wasn't painful at all but yeah, do avoid layering this product.
* I have used Amino Acids + B5 for a while on and off so can't really say how many months... 5? 6? 8? So it's pretty easy to easy to say I'm not exactly dependent on this product.
Price:
6,80 € / 30 ml
Bought from:
The Ordinary website
Buy again?
Maybe, Yes? I'm confused. I still have some left so I guess it depends how I feel when ordering again from The Ordinary.
Worth the money?
Yes, Amino Acids + B5 serum is worth the money. It's very affordable considering how lovely, watery and at the same time hydrating and moisturizing it is! It has worked with all of my other products. I have used it under or on top of most of the basic things and I haven't noticed any problems. I think it suits all skin types.
