This serum provides fast-absorbing, non-greasy hydration for long after application – ideal for any time of the day!

This oil-free and noncomedogenic formulation is perfect for people with dry or dehydrated skin. Furthermore, beta-glucan acts as a hydrating ingredient which complements other components in its formula to provide instantaneous and long-term hydration benefits.

Benefits

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA Serum is an effective moisturizer designed to replicate the composition of skin’s natural hydration system. Packed full of amino acids, fatty acids, triglycerides, urea, ceramides phospholipids glycerin saccharides and sodium PCA it ensures an outer layer of skin is adequately hydrated without leaving a greasy residue behind.

Beta-glucan, an excellent skin soother, provides relief to inflamed and irritated skin. Furthermore, this fragrance- and alcohol-free product makes it suitable for sensitive skin types.

Notably, however, this face cream may not be appropriate for oily skin types; rather it would be wiser to opt for The Ordinary Oily Skin + Acne Clarifying Facial Wash or The Ordinary Phytoceramides which would provide more benefit in that regard. In contrast, balanced and normal skin – or dry/very dry skin in cold low-humidity climates – would benefit greatly from using this product.
