The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA

A nice light moisturiser that instantly hydrates

This product is perfect if you’re looking for affordable skin care with active ingredients. Definitely did what it says and hydrated my dry skin however my skin still looked quite dull, I’d like to try the Vitamin c moisturiser in the future to see if that adds a glow.

Of course we are all different....but if your skin is thirsty like mine, perhaps this won't give you the moisturising effect you are looking for. I used this after applying the Ordinary Buffet and whilst it soaked in really well, my skin felt tight and this made me feel like I needed to add some other moisturiser to complete my routine. It didn't make a big enough impact for my dry skin to warrant me purchasing this one again.

great product and cheap too for oily skin but everyone is different just remember that

I use this Moisturiser after applying serum and it's a great hydrating product that doesn't make my skin oily or break out. Very affordable too!

I purchased this for the HA. I use over other serums at night.
Have always had dry/combination skin prone to breakouts. My skin is better, but I think that is because of the serums, not this cream. It doesn't have sunscreen either, so not great for day use. Medium consistency which glides well into the skin and I haven't broken out which happens with most creams I use of this consistency. OK for the price or to use after a good serum, but having dry skin, I don't think it would do the job on it's own

I decided to try this moisturiser after hearing lots of hype about The Ordinary and their products. So I was super excited when it arrived but the excitement stopped there.

This moisturiser wasn't worth the hype to me. It is really, really thick and hard to spread on the face. I use it at nighttime after serums, I guess it does the job, but I won't be making this a permanent part of my skincare routine.

I really feel like this product does a good job trapping the beneficial Buffet active ingredients under a layer of protection and makes my skin feel more hydrated. I am noticing though that I will likely run out of this product before I am finished with Buffet and Retinol as it doesn't seem to go as far as the liquid products do. So I guess I will have to buy two tubes in the future.

I've never had an issue having used this product for a long time. It's a perfect finishing product to lock other products in, or great on its own if you're in a rush. One of my staple products.

Loved this product as use it after serums have been applied and use this moisturiser prior to Primer. Quickly absorbed, non greasy or shine and the added bonus of sunscreen - this makes the product so much more user friendly as I live in a humid part of Australia and can use this product and at a wonderful price

Great moisturizer, quite thick but spreads into skin and is absorbed easily. Skin feels soft after application. I have quite dry and acne prone skin and this hast made me break out at all. After reading the reviews I thought this product might be really heavy and difficult to absorb but I haven’t found that to be the case at all. Really happy with this and will be buying the bigger tube next time!

Wonderful product with a nice skinfeel. I find its great for preventing transepidermal waterloss, not so much just for dry skin.

Definitely use a HA serum underneath and then put this over the top to seal in the goodness!

I love this! I couldn't find a cream/moisturiser that didn't break me out or give me small bumps and I nearly gave up. Nearly. I am so happy I found this cream! It is hydrating, brightening and it smoothes and softens my skin. I love love this moisturiser and I will definitely be purchasing the bigger bottle as long as it stays on the market.

I have just tried this instead of my usual $85 moisturiser and I actually prefer this one!
I have sensitive combination skin with bouts of acne and eczema. This hasn't inflamed any of my issues. Goes on really nicely - feels a little thick on the skin to begin with but my dry patched soon soaked in the excess.

Nothing too special about this, and it doesn't last very long with the end product being pretty annoying to access. Didn't make me break-out and worked well in use with a serum.

it's okay but would not prefer this as a 'main' moisturiser. I apply this after my vitamin c or oil treatments at night for hydration purposes. The texture is a bit pearly so you need to emulsify it on your hand first.

I have dry skin and I thought this moisturiser would make a difference to my dry skin. However, it does the opposite. This product stays on top of my skin and I had to spread it out a few times before the white cream would disappear into my skin. I hope to find another moisturiser that is suitable for my dry skin.

I have been using for a month now and pleased to have found this brilliant brand. It's a brilliant moisturiser for my ageing , sensitive skin.

I have very dry skin with hormonal acne so I need a good moisturiser that won’t clog pores
Usually I am still dry after moisturiser, this left my skin plump and hydrated.

This is exactly what I wanted. It’s creamy without feeling heavy or clogging, and stops my skin from feeling tight and dehydrated. The formula is quite thick, so I warm it up between my fingertips before applying to my face so it spreads easier.

I have recommended this moisturiser to lots of different people with lots of different skin types - can do no wrong. Beautifully moisturising and surprisingly light - leaves skin hydrated through the day. I have dry/sensitive skin and love love love this product.

Really good moisturiser to go over other Ordinary products. I wear it every night over the Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2% and they work together really nicely. The granactive takes a while to sink in and this moisturiser has to be rubbed into the skin.

I have combination skin (oily t-zone and dry everywhere else) and found that the moisturiser did not feel heavy around my oily zones but it was moisturising enough for areas that would otherwise dry out.

I like this as a day time moisturiser as it has a lovely texture and doesn’t give me an oily t zone that I am prone too. I do use additional products at night as I feel very dry otherwise

When I over moisturise, I usually end up with an oily face by mid-day. When I under-moisturise, my face starts peeling off by mid-day. But with this product, I find that it moisturises my face and makes sure that it doesn't get really oily at all! My face does not seem dry or peel off either!

I have always had to use thick moisturisers for my dry skin, but this one has fixed my dry skin without being heavy at all!

I found this a little dense for my tastes- I prefer lightweight gel moisturisers and don't love this texture. Moisturises well, but I ran through the tube very quickly and won't repurchase

I am using this with the ordinary buffet and have been for 6 months at night. I am pleased with the results. My skin is smoother - more hydrated and my makeup sits better on my skin. I have combination skin and this does not result in more oily skin. It is great value and gives me everything I need. I am very pleased.

I have oily skin, and whilst I have found that this moisturiser doesn't really help with the oil production during the day (not much seems to), I do feel that it really hydrates the skin. I tend to use at night. Not super in love but will definitely repurchase considering the price tag!

This is the perfect moisturizer for in the morning. It moisturizes the skin well and is great under makeup. I go through it quickly but for the price it's perfect!

This is a great general moisturizer for all skin types. I have combination skin and find that it hydrates the dry spots without making my T-zone feel oily. Amazing price and I'll happily keep repurchasing!

I originally left a review ages ago saying that The Ordinary's NMF was OK, but it has a tendency to roll or pill because of all the silicones. However, I appreciated the fact that it was oil free for people with oily and combination skin types - like me. In short, I was pretty underwhelmed by NMF.

I have since discovered that the secret is to actually ADD oil to this! Yes, it seems counterintuitive if you are acne-prone, but adding a drop or two of rosehip oil drastically changes the texture of this moisturiser so that it no longer pills up on the skin if you've already layered a few silicones underneath. The oil also helps this absorb into the skin better, and not sit on the surface of the skin with a white cast, as it is prone to do.

So, in short, you can use this with any oil to customise NMF to your skin type - including oily skins. Deciem really should advertise this, as it completely changed my mind about the usefulness and quality of this moisturiser!

A good basic moisturizer, nothing amazing. Moisturizes and inst too oily. It has a thick creamy consistency. Absorbs easily into the skin. Great price.

This moisturiser is honestly amazing. It is so hydrating and leaves the skin really supple and renewed. It is incredible quality for the price! Will be using this one for a while

I bought this to try as sometimes my skin feels really dry. I love it!! It feels really nourishing without being too heavy!! I will definitely be back for a big tube!!

I like this moisturizer for wearing under my makeup as I have an oily t-zone and this doesn't make it worse. It's not overly moisturizing but I still like using it in the morning

Love using this under my makeup. Doesn't really smell and love that it has Hyaluronic Acid which I think we could all benefit from. Very smooth and nourishing... another beautiful product from The Ordinary.

This moisturizer is awesome because it hydrates and nourishes your skin and doesn't feel too thick. It also is lightweight enough to use after other treatments such as serums etc.. I use this every night on my skin and it is feeling plump and hydrated.

My go-to moisturiser. It is light, perfect over TO marula oil. Non-greasy and light and doesn’t leave the skin oily or dry. Great for my combination skin.

Nothing worse than applying thick and heaving moisturizer when you’ve had a shower. This product is light and absorbs quickly and perfect as one of the last steps in The Ordinary Skincare Regime. The value is great and would buy again.

I bought this moisturiser after reading good reviews and I have been impressed and repurchased twice!

I have combination skin and was looking for a light moisturiser with some hard working ingredients and this fit the brief. it is great following a clay mask or treatment when my skin feels a little tight and needs a little extra moisture. I wear it nightly and it feels lovely, smells good and has never broken me out.

This is a great moisturiser to have for layering over serums and other treatments. The consistency is a little thicker than other moisturisers in this price range and has worked perfectly keeping my skin hydrated in winter months.

I love this moisturiser for daytime use. My sensitive skin feels hydrated. Recommend this product in combination with The Ordinary toner and serum.

Amazing. It feels like applying whipped butter to your face, as weird as that sounds it is amazing. I use this day & night as well as with the ordinary vitamin c powder. Would recommend it to anyone.

I have troubled skin (all the issues! Oily zones, dry patches, scars, discoloured areas,fragile and red as well as thickened skin and large pores),due to health issues and medication and I stumbled across this brand by accident And so glad I did!
This moisturiser works really well after the other products in the brand without overwhelming or making any particular issue flare up. Works well under makeup too!

For the price it is 10/10 however I have very sensitive skin and find that this just doesn’t cut it alone. I generally alternate this daily with another moisturiser

This is a lovely moisturiser & feels good on the skin, I’m only marking it down as it isn’t quite moisturising enough for me. I have to use this with the argan oil. If The Ordinary ever make a moisturiser like this but for dryer skin, I’m sure it will be perfect.

Greeeeeat stuff. Ply it on and you will see and feel your skin drink it up. I use this twice a day every day.
I sometimes really try to quench my skins thirst by putting the hyalronic acid plus B under it.
I've got difficult skin too. Continuous acne break outs, roseacea and I'm in my mid 40's. This is so calming and lovely to wear. I think this would sit just about every skin type though and I rate this better than The Buffet.

I love, love, love this product! I have combination skin that gets quite oily in spots but this is super hydrating and soaks in quick without leaving any kind of oily residue.

I bought a lot of The Ordinary's products at once to give them a try and this was the only one I didn't love. I have oily skin and am concerned with ageing. This for me is a bit too rich and doesn't absorb well into my skin. I wish they had a light surface moisturiser as well.

Oily/combo skin

This moisturiser is fairly good. It does the job and I found my skin to be less tight/dry after usage. However, it was the texture of this product that I did not like.

My skin felt a bit unnatural after using the product. It felt as if I had used a silicon based primer- that velvety texture. This is not to say that the product is bad, but just that I prefer a more natural/dewy feel to my skin after moisturising.

Having said that, this product may be better for those with oily skin

Texture is smooth and thick, but when you put it on your face is seeps into the skin and doesn't leave any residue . Very nice

cheap price with good effect, after applying before sleep, my skin still moisturize in the next morning, very good hydration effect.
But only 30ml, next time i will try NATURAL MOISTURIZING FACTORS + HA 100ML with just 3 dollars difference.

Great value.. very happy to see it is now available in the bigger 100ml tube.

Doesn't irritate my hyper sensitive skin. I struggle to find creams that dont give me a textural issue across my cheeks. I have been using this now for a year, no problems.

It will sit on the skin for a few seconds before absorbing completely. I find it benefits from being patted in with wet fingers.

I usually add another layer after about 15 minutes as it isnt a heavy or greasey moisturiser.

Has been a life saver during hot summer days, give my skin life again!

It’s small and cheap but definitely does the job. I have very dry skin particularly in winter and this is s really great product for the face. I would not solely rely on just this product to fix dry skin. It’s important to incorporate other products such as oils (assuming your skin is as dry as mine). Use twice a day though and you’ll see good results

Absolutely in love with this moisturiser! It ticks all of the boxes in ensuring my skin is super hydrated, soft and glowy. I love to apply this at night and also underneath my make up. It gives my foundation a beautiful dewy look when worn underneath! Also it is so affordable for such a great product that is beneficial to my skin!

I’m always skeptical when reading reviews because products just don’t gel with my combination skin. I always apply a moisturiser in the morning before priming and by the end of the day my skin feels itchy with the combination of products sitting on my skin. I decided to try products from The Ordinary after reading all the rave reviews and I’m so glad I did. This moisturiser is amazing as a makeup base (I’ve ditched my primer completely), I only need a pea sized amount and it absorbs straight into my skin leaving it feeling really hydrated. The bonus is I’ve been using this for a week and I haven’t felt that itchy feeling yet!

No cons to this product for me but no real pros either.

Comes out of the tube quite thick but I found it to be a nice light moisturiser without any fragrance. Absorbs into my skin (sensitive with dry patches) quickly and easily but while it prevented dry patches, I didn't really feel the other areas of my skin were any softer or more hydrated.

A really well priced hyalaronic acid moisturiser. This layers well over the top of The Ordinary serums like Niacinamide or Buffet. The only drawback: The tube doesn't last very long (4 weeks), but for the price I think that is acceptable.

I have combination skin - oily t zone with dry patches on my cheeks & can be a bit sensitive to new products.
I was a bit sceptical about this product, mainly due to the cheap price! I decided to purchase when my previous moisturiser ran out.
I was really surprised at how well it worked (I know I shouldn't of been as all the serums I have used by this brand have been great) - it feels really thick when applying and leaves skin feeling well moisturised, but not so much that I had big shiny patches.
I started using this in the thick of winter when my skin was a bit of a state after having a baby & it really helped leave my skin feeling moisturised and looking nourished (in previous winters I have ended up with dry patches on my cheeks from the cold).
I would definitely recommend this product, for the price you can't really go wrong!!

I have dehydrated oily acne prone skin and absolutely love this moisturiser it feels super soft on my skin and makes my skin feel plump and hydrated my only problems with this product is that it doesn't last long enough I go through a packet way to quickly

This product is fantastic for my dry and acne prone skin.

Usually moisturisers made for acne prone skin are not hydrating enough for me, and those made for dry skin are too greasy and make me break out - however this one is perfect. It goes on thick and absorbs well, and it's hydrating enough while feeling nice and lightweight. It also sits well under makeup.

I do still use an oil on top of this product most nights for an extra boost, however if I do forget to use the oil every now and then my skin is fine - whereas with other products, I would wake up with tight, dry and itchy skin without an oil.

The price is also great of course!

I have very sensitive skin and tend to get clogged pores with thick moisturizers but found that this one was amazing and didn't cause me to break out! for the price it is a miracle will definitely be repurchasing soon!! My dry spots under my eyes and on my cheeks due to dry skin in winter is almost all gone, this also doubles as my primer!

It is a good product but it works just as well as any other moisturiser I have used. I do find that if I use a touch too much it is very hard to work into the skin and can leave a white cast on the skin.
I try to only use a very small amount and that seems to help.

It doesn't wow me like other products from the brand but for the price I will probably continue to use it

This product is life changing! I am 31 and a flight attendant. I have struggled with hormonal acne and dryness for years and my skin has completely changed since I started using The Ordinary products. I use this all over my face morning and night. It is like I have new skin! My skin is brighter, hydrated and I rarely get pimples. So incredibly impressed and I have recommended this product to all my friends and family. The best skincare routine I have ever used.

I really like this moisturiser. It works really well on my combination skin in both winter and summer. Its a little bit thick but absorbs really well in to the skin. Not sure if I'd recommend to those with oily skin as its a little bit thick but it suits my skin type.

Not a fan. I didn’t notice any change in my skin. Felt softer I guess but didn’t really improve my texture or anything. It’s cheap so I guess if it does no harm it’s worth a try but wasn’t amazed by it

I use this as my basic, year-round moisturiser because it's so cheap, and has HA! I do need to treat my dry patches with a targeted, more intense moisturiser, but apart from that it's light and hasn't broken me out. Oh, and wears well under my BB cream :)

This moisturizer is quite thick but surprisingly light. I have combination skin and this has worked well for me. I get just a little bit dry and this takes care of it, without ever making my skin feel oily.

I would definitely order the larger bottle next time, because this is a small dose and will go quickly in winter. Also, the price is impossible to beat.

I wanted to try this as I often find moisturisers are never enough for my skin as I have dry skin and I use serums and oils underneath and although I can feel moisturised after an hour or two I can feel dry again. This thick cream definitely helps hold the moisture in and it's a definite keeper for me and you really don't need to use much as a little goes a long way so it will last longer than I thought it would which is a bonus as I can go through allot of moisturiser. The only issue I have had with this one is that the foundation I use doesn't sit well over it so I just use my other moisturiser when I'm going to wear makeup.

Definitely would recommend this moisturiser - it is one of the best I have ever used. Really moisturises while being super gentle on sensitive skin and I have never experienced break outs from it which means it doesn't clog my pores.

This product is perfect for dry skin! It makes my skin feel plump and hydrated. It is good to use at night during winter and the colder months as it really does add moisture back into the skin

This product provides a decent amount of hydration to the skin however as someone with quite dry and sensitive skin it just didn't give my skin enough moisture it requires. I find myself having to put a thicker serum on top to add moisture. It didn't react with my skin which was great, I have tried other HA products and my skin did not like that. If you have combination/normal skin this would work perfectly!

I tried this out in the 30mL size and within a week ordered 6 of the 100mL tubes! I have oily/combination skin that's prone to cystic hormonal acne. I've often shied away from moisturiser and gone with light lotions instead. The texture of this stuff comes out weird, thick and pasty, and leaves a slight white film for a minute or so after you apply it, but good lord it's fantastic! It leaves my oily skin soft and supple, but quite matte. My girlfriend has very dry skin; she applies an oil (either squalane or marula) and then the NMF to seal it in, and she loves it too. We now both keep tubes in our bags, in the bathroom, and in the car. Bloody love this stuff.

Really wanted to like this however the moisturising effects of this just weren’t enough for me (I do however have extremely dry and sensitive skin). The texture of this cream is nice and rich yet absorbs well into the skin and I would maybe reccomend people who hav oily to combination skin to give this a shot.

Love this. Smells and feels a lot like the go-to moisturiser, for a fraction of the price. I have dry, sensitive-ish skin and I use this one morning and night. Great under makeup, does the job. Very happy.

I'm loving this face cream and am ordering it for a second time. It goes on smooth, sits well under makeup and is great to use in addition to serums and sunscreen in the morning. I highly recommend it!

I have combination skin and this moisturizer feels great and does an awesome job. If you have super dry skin though i would recommend something with a heavier consistency. I recommend this product to my friends and family, particularly ones with oily skin.

A little goes a long way with this moisturiser - it isn't very thick nor is it oily, has a very smooth, silky texture.
It's now my favourite moisturiser and it's super cheap too!!
I find that it works really well with the hyaluronic acid.

I have combination skin, with an especially oily T-zone. This stuff is really hydrating for my dry cheeks without feeling heavy on my forehead and nose. It comes out of the tube really thick, so you think 'Oh no!', but it applies on smooth and is absorbed really well by skin. There's no amazing scent to this moisturizer, it smells a bit like sorbolene, but who needs fragrance. The 30ml tube is great for travel.

This has become my favourite moisturiser ever. I have really dry skin and this has been the best product for my skin. This moisturiser isn't greasy and sinks it after massaging into the skin. I love using this product in combination with The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid. I have gone through 3 tubes of this moisturiser and will continue to buy.

I hate moisturizers that contain sunscreen with a passion lol the smell, the feeling of it. I spend all day indoors so I only want to apply sunscreen when I know I'll be out doors. So to find a good everyday moisturizers that isn't a greasy, tacky mess is great. This is that. I can't find on the label whether it contains sunscreen but definitely doesn't smell or feel like it. The price isn't super appealing,$10 for 30ml isn't that great compared to other the ordinary products. Probably wouldn't buy again.

Very nice. Soaks in fast, leaves me hydrated. 10/10.

This is an unusual moisturiser, in that it takes some time to absorb and dries to a matte finish. I imagine that it might be difficult layering multiple products (or makeup) with this, as the silicones might roll or pill. However, as the last step in my skincare routine at night, I have found this to be effective, but I am still a little bit on the fence about it due to the lack of absorbency. Still a good product with no negative side effects or breakouts.

Very light and soft texture. Soaks into my skin so fast and doesn't leave me oily!

I usually have combination skin but at the moment I am using a benzoyl peroxide treatment that makes my skin very dry. This is a nice moisturiser, not oily and it makes my skin soft and supple, but it doesn't help much with how dry my skin currently is. I would definitely buy it again once my skin settles from the benzoyl dryness.

A good moisturiser for my combo skin - effectively moisturises the drier parts of my face and doesn't irritate my oily T zone. I'll be repurchasing in the larger bottle.

I'm 26 years old, with combo skin and I was using this product for a few years and looooovvvvveeeeddd it! I think it's a great basic, every day moisturizer, that did not cause me to breakout at all. That being said, you get what you pay for and if you're in search for something with a little extra oomph, this isn't it. I would recommend this to say anyone from the age of 17 - 25, that is just looking for a basic, cheap, go to moisturizer.

Unfortunately this moisturiser just felt way too heavy or something and I just didn’t like the consistency of it.

I have mature, dehydrated skin that is prone to white heads in the morning from moisturizes. This product doesn't give me those white heads. It's texture is fantastic and melts into my skin quickly. I am using it morning and night and loving it.

I like this product over the top of the HA serum, but it gives a "sweaty" feel to the face after applied. I have read online this is common/normal and it doesn't last long but worth mentioning. Wait at least 5 mins before layering it over the HA serum to avoid it balling up/pilling, and I prefer to pat it on vs rub it on. A little goes a long way!

I was expecting a bit more from this product because of my love of everything else from the ordinary, however this moisturiser is just okay.
In fact I don't think I will be going back to it again unless my current moisturiser starts to cause breakouts.
Would be great for someone who suffers from acne using other moisturisers.

I love the other The Ordinary products but not sold on this one. I didn't find that it really moisturized my skin any better than any other product. It actually left my skin feeling kind of tight and dry...not sure if it is just me.

Ive suffered from acne for years and this moisturiser doesnt break me out and provides enough moisture for most of the day. It does sweat off easily, I also refresh my face with rosewater mist in the afternoon as I start to feel some oilyness (its not a matte maintaining moisturiser) but it wont break you out and do the job you need to keep a healthy skin routine!

I got this after hearing a couple recommendations for it. I was hesitant as my skin can be fussy about what it will readily absorb and I hate feeling like I have a thick layer of cream on my face, but ordered 2 because I had a good feeling (and it’s out of stock in a lot of places). I’m glad I did! I actually really, really love it. It’s fairly lightweight, my skin soaks it up, it’s hydrating. It certainly doesn’t feel like I’ve got a thick layer on even if I apply it generously because my skin just soaks it up.


I have dehydrated skin, and I’m trying to repair the moisture barrier and get my face hydrated again, and so far this product is working wonderfully. Sometimes I’ll mix it with a few drops of TO Moroccan oil to have it last longer and I love the consistency. Even with oil mixed in it absorbs readily and leaves me feeling nice and soft.

I've only just come across this brand and thanks to adore beauty i did. just purchased my second natural moisturizing tube as i really loved the way my skin feels when i put it on. the only downfall is the size of the tube.

This moisturiser is a solid performer for a range of skin types. I have normal to oily combination skin and this feels lovely on the skin after applying serums and it seems to seal the moisture in.

I have combination as well as allergic sensitive skin. After reading reviews of how straightforward the formula of this moisturiser is and how effective, I made a purchase that I would not regret. A little goes a long way and besides from hydrating my face, it smooths out the dry patches from my allergy and treatment ointment.
