The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid Lightweight Moisturizer, 3.4 fl oz — Fast-Absorbing Barrier Support

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA is a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that supports and replenishes the skin’s outer hydration barrier using components naturally found in skin.

Formulated to complement the skin’s own protective layer, this cream combines amino acids, fatty acids, ceramides, glycerin, sodium PCA, urea, saccharides and hyaluronic acid to deliver immediate moisture and encourage longer-term barrier resilience. It absorbs quickly, leaves no heavy residue, and is suitable as the final step in most skincare routines. Its composition mirrors many of the molecules already present on the skin surface, so it focuses on reinforcement and maintenance rather than dramatic resurfacing.

How does this moisturizer support my skin barrier?

The formula uses a mix of skin-identical lipids and humectants that help restore and maintain the skin’s outermost layer. By replenishing natural moisturizing factors, it helps the skin retain water and resist environmental stressors without clogging pores.

• Amino acids and ceramides to rebuild lipid structure
• Glycerin, sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid for immediate hydration
• Fatty acids and triglycerides to reinforce barrier integrity

Will it feel heavy or greasy on my face?

This product is designed to be lightweight and non-greasy; it sinks in quickly and leaves a soft, hydrated finish. That makes it well suited for daytime layering under sunscreen or for evening use without a tacky residue.

• Fast-absorbing texture suitable for most skin types
• Non-comedogenic appearance that reduces greasy shine
• Works under makeup without piling

How do I use The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA in my routine?

Use as the final step in your skincare routine whenever you need hydration. Apply after serums and treatments; a small amount spread evenly over face (and neck if desired) provides sufficient moisture.

• Apply to clean, dry skin as the last step
• Use day and night as needed for ongoing hydration
• Patch test before full application and avoid broken skin

What skin types and concerns is this best for?

Its balanced, skin-identical ingredient list makes it appropriate for normal, combination, dry, and many sensitive skin types seeking maintenance and hydration. Because it focuses on surface-level support rather than active resurfacing, it pairs well with actives like vitamin C or retinoids when used as the final moisturizing step.

• Good for everyday hydration and barrier maintenance
• Suitable for sensitive skin; recognized by National Eczema Association
• Not a primary treatment for severe dermatitis or wounds

Who is this for: ideal for anyone wanting a straightforward, effective surface hydrator that mirrors the skin’s natural moisturizing factors. If you need a lightweight, fragrance-free cream to lock in moisture, support barrier health, and play well with other skincare steps, this product is a practical, clinically minded option to keep on hand.
