The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Phytoceramides

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Phytoceramides is a rich, barrier-supporting moisturizer designed to provide immediate and long-lasting hydration while strengthening the skin’s natural protective function. This advanced formula builds upon the brand’s iconic Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) technology by incorporating phytoceramides. By this it helps to replenish lipids that are essential for healthy, resilient skin.

Natural Moisturizing Factors are elements that naturally occur in the skin such as amino acids, fatty acids, urea, PCA, and hyaluronic acid that work together to maintain hydration and protect the skin barrier. In this formula, these components are combined with plant-derived ceramides, which help reduce moisture loss and improve skin comfort, especially in dry or compromised skin conditions.

The result is a richer, more nourishing texture compared to the original Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, making it ideal for dry to very dry skin, colder climates, or those experiencing dehydration due to active treatments. Despite its nourishing feel, the formula absorbs well without leaving a greasy residue, leaving skin soft, smooth, and supple.

With continued use, skin feels more hydrated, looks healthier, and appears more resilient against environmental stressors. This moisturizer is suitable for daily use, morning and night, and can be applied as the final step in a skincare routine to lock in moisture.

Like all The Ordinary products, Natural Moisturizing Factors + Phytoceramides is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without alcohol, silicones, or fragrance, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
