The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Gel Moisturizer | Lightweight Hydration

Overview

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan is a lightweight gel moisturizer designed to deliver lasting hydration after a single application. It combines natural moisturizing factors with beta glucan and ceramides to support the skin’s natural barrier. Recognized by the National Eczema Association, this formula aims to fit into a wide range of routines without heaviness or shine.

What it offers

• All-day hydration: a lightweight gel that introduces moisture quickly and aims to sustain it through the day.
• Beta glucan power: acts as a humectant to help retain moisture and support hydration underneath the surface.
• Barrier support: ceramides work with natural moisturizing factors to help maintain the skin’s protective layer.
• Non-greasy texture: ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and oily, with fast absorption that leaves skin feeling refreshed.
