Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides - Face Moisturizer

Hydration Game-Changer

This cream is amazing for dry or dehydrated skin. It feels rich and nourishing without being overly heavy, and my skin looks plumper and healthier right after applying. I love that it’s fragrance-free and barrier-supporting with ceramides. The price is unbeatable compared to high-end moisturizers. If you have oily skin, it might feel too rich, but for me it’s a winter must-have.

πρώτη δοκιμή

έχω δέρμα μεικτό, χρησιμοποιώ μικρή ποσότητα, κάνει το δέρμα πολύ απαλό αλλά γυαλίζει αρκετά

Great Affordable Moisturizer!

Really great affordable moisturizer for dry! Texture is nice and thick but not goopy, doesn’t break me out and works well under makeup.

Part of my occasional routine!

Great Product, smells alright and very easy to apply and blend. Wonderful moisturizer for dry skin after sunscreen. A bit sticky but ok formula.

My go to rich moisturizer!

I absolutely love this lotion for my dry skin! It blends so smoothly, easy to spread, a little goes a long way. And wears well under makeup!

Fantastic, affordable moisturizer!

As someone who’s always on the lookout for an effective, no-nonsense moisturizer that supports the skin barrier without causing breakouts or irritation, The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides is a standout. Texture & Application: This moisturizer has a lightweight yet creamy texture that absorbs easily without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. It spreads effortlessly and layers well under sunscreen or makeup, making it ideal for both day and night routines. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts longer than you'd expect. Key Ingredients & Benefits: What sets this formula apart from the original NMF moisturizer is the inclusion of phyto-ceramides—plant-derived lipids that help restore and strengthen the skin barrier. Combined with amino acids, fatty acids, urea, and hyaluronic acid, it effectively locks in hydration and supports long-term skin health. The formulation is fragrance-free, making it a great choice for sensitive or reactive skin types. Performance: After consistent use, skin feels smoother, more resilient, and well-hydrated. It’s especially beneficial for anyone dealing with dryness, flakiness, or barrier impairment. I noticed reduced redness and less tightness in dry areas within a few days. It also pairs well with active ingredients like retinoids or acids without pilling or irritation. Downsides: While it's a strong performer, it may not be rich enough on its own for those with very dry skin or during harsh winter months. In that case, layering it with a facial oil or occlusive balm may be necessary. Also, those with oily skin might find it slightly too rich for daytime use in humid climates. Final Thoughts: This is a thoughtfully formulated, affordable moisturizer that punches above its price point. It’s a great daily hydrator for anyone looking to support their skin barrier with minimal filler ingredients.

Will buy over and over…

It’s not the most elegant feeling product. It does require work to into the skin. It does feel like something on the skin. That being said my skin loves this product.

Good product

I’m always on the hunt for a good moisturizer and this hit. Left my fingers feeling a tiny bit greasy, but dried quickly and spread easily. Love this brand so definitely worth trying.

Pilling on your skin

Recommended by The Ordinary for an anti-aging regimen. But this moisturizer is not it. It’s very greasy, doesn’t absorb, and it pills on your skin. It makes you feel like your face is dirty.

Love this Moisturizer

I love using this product! It is a bit greasy, but as long as you let it sit and soak into your skin for 15-20 minutes applying makeup, then you should be good.

Works but Greasy

This product keeps my skin hydrated, but I find it a bit too greasy for me. I bought this as my nighttime moisturizer and I find it gets too greasy with my serums underneath. It takes a while to sink into the skin, seeping into my bangs, making them greasy faster. When I don't use serums underneath or give the serums about 30 minutes to sink in, the product absorbs easily. A great product but it doesn't work for me and my routine.

Light but rich!

I love the richness of this moisturizer although it’s not thick! I’ve been using Nivea cream most of my life and this is the best alternative. I love the way my skin glows and how light it feels on the face
