Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides | The Ordinary — Rich Moisturizer for Dry Skin (1oz Travel Size)

Why this moisturizer fits dry skin and barrier care

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides is The Ordinary’s most nourishing cream in a compact 1oz travel size, designed to deliver lasting hydration while feeling light on the skin. The formula contains nearly four times more moisturizing emollients and two times more humectants than the Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA variant, offering a richer texture that glides on smoothly and absorbs comfortably.

In a small clinical test, participants experienced a hydration boost of about 68% after a single application, with many reporting a fresher, more comfortable feel soon after use. While individual results vary, the extra hydration can help skin feel softer and look more plump, especially when dryness is visible or fluctuating with weather or indoor heating.

The blend also features plant-derived PhytoCeramides and skin lipids that work together to support the surface of the skin. This triple-action approach aims to help the skin look more resilient and nourished over the course of the day, without a heavy or greasy finish. The product is accepted by the National Eczema Association, reflecting its suitability for sensitive and dry skin types under many conditions.
