Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides - Crema facial hidratante

The best nighttime moisturiser

Due to age and thyroid condition, over the years my skin had become more and more dehydrated to the extent that I found NO facial moisturisers would quench my dry skin, then after researching I found The Ordinary products some two years ago now and have not looked back. I use many of their products but love this moisturiser and use it as part of my nighttime routine, it's very rich and hydrates my skin which leaves it soft and hydrated until morning.

Best ever

Best moisturizer I’ve ever used!! I am 60 + and bought so many high end moisturizers over the years. This by far is the most hydrating and I wake up with dewy skin.

I really like this!

This cream is so hydrating on the skin. I use it before bed and wake up and my skin is so smooth. It also does not pill under makeup. It does take a little while to sink into the skin, but it is worth it.

Packaging

Love this rich moisturizer. I live in the desert and this works better to moisturize my dry skin than anything else I have tried. But please! Put it in a jar! It is a nightly struggle to get it out of the tube.

Do not purchase the 30ml

Unfortunately my purchase came half empty. I know I bought the small size ,30ml, because I wanted to try its texture; however I practically used it once in the morning, pea size, and once I went to apply at night it was almost empty, like when is more air than anything. Will keep the product because it is not worth shipping back, but very sad because I will not be able to determine its textured how it works on my skin.

Great product

One of my favorites! Non greasy, non irritating, and keeps skin moist. It works perfect under makeup and SPF.

Hydration Game-Changer

This cream is amazing for dry or dehydrated skin. It feels rich and nourishing without being overly heavy, and my skin looks plumper and healthier right after applying. I love that it’s fragrance-free and barrier-supporting with ceramides. The price is unbeatable compared to high-end moisturizers. If you have oily skin, it might feel too rich, but for me it’s a winter must-have.

Great Affordable Moisturizer!

Really great affordable moisturizer for dry! Texture is nice and thick but not goopy, doesn’t break me out and works well under makeup.

Part of my occasional routine!

Great Product, smells alright and very easy to apply and blend. Wonderful moisturizer for dry skin after sunscreen. A bit sticky but ok formula.

Perfect for Mature Skin

This is my favorite moisturizer!! And the older I’ve gotten, the more I need this formula. It’s not heavy but still drenching my skin with the hydration I need.

Best moisturizer!

I’ve been using this product since it first came out. It’s never greasy, it’s non irritating, and keeps skin moist. Reasonable price, as well!

Fantastic, affordable moisturizer!

As someone who’s always on the lookout for an effective, no-nonsense moisturizer that supports the skin barrier without causing breakouts or irritation, The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides is a standout. Texture & Application: This moisturizer has a lightweight yet creamy texture that absorbs easily without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. It spreads effortlessly and layers well under sunscreen or makeup, making it ideal for both day and night routines. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts longer than you'd expect. Key Ingredients & Benefits: What sets this formula apart from the original NMF moisturizer is the inclusion of phyto-ceramides—plant-derived lipids that help restore and strengthen the skin barrier. Combined with amino acids, fatty acids, urea, and hyaluronic acid, it effectively locks in hydration and supports long-term skin health. The formulation is fragrance-free, making it a great choice for sensitive or reactive skin types. Performance: After consistent use, skin feels smoother, more resilient, and well-hydrated. It’s especially beneficial for anyone dealing with dryness, flakiness, or barrier impairment. I noticed reduced redness and less tightness in dry areas within a few days. It also pairs well with active ingredients like retinoids or acids without pilling or irritation. Downsides: While it's a strong performer, it may not be rich enough on its own for those with very dry skin or during harsh winter months. In that case, layering it with a facial oil or occlusive balm may be necessary. Also, those with oily skin might find it slightly too rich for daytime use in humid climates. Final Thoughts: This is a thoughtfully formulated, affordable moisturizer that punches above its price point. It’s a great daily hydrator for anyone looking to support their skin barrier with minimal filler ingredients.
