The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan - 30ml

NMF are compounds naturally found in the skin that help keep its outer layer protected and well-hydrated. This formula contains NMF components like amino acids and phospholipids to support skin health.

You can use this moisturizer both in your morning and evening skincare routines. Apply after cleansing and any water-based serums.

Yes, The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is free from common irritants like fragrance and alcohol.

Absolutely! Its lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish, making it an excellent primer for makeup application.

Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide derived from oats, mushrooms, or yeast. In skincare, it's known for its humectant properties (attracts moisture to the skin) and its ability to soothe and protect the skin barrier. It's often praised for being more hydrating than hyaluronic acid at the same concentration and for its soothing benefits.

While not explicitly stated as 'non-comedogenic' on the packaging, its lightweight, non-greasy gel texture and suitability for oily and combination skin suggest it is unlikely to clog pores.

While providing excellent surface hydration, this is a lightweight gel. If your skin is very dry, consider layering it over a hydrating serum (like Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5) or using a slightly larger amount. For extremely dry skin, you might need a richer, more emollient cream.

You might be using too much product. Start with a pea-sized amount and gently spread it. The lightweight gel should absorb quickly without stickiness. Ensure your skin is clean and any previous serums have fully absorbed before applying.

While formulated for sensitive skin, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use immediately if irritation persists. Check the ingredient list against any known allergies you may have.
