The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors is a barrier supporting moisturizer designed to provide immediate and long lasting hydration while strengthening the skin’s natural protective function.
Natural Moisturizing Factors are elements that naturally occur in the skin such as amino acids, fatty acids, urea and PCA, that work together to maintain hydration and protect the skin barrier.
With continued use of The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors, 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.

It offers a triple-action approach to targeting dryness with the inclusion of skin-identical Natural Moisturizing Factors, Phyto Ceramides and skin lipids. The inclusion of plant-derived Phyto Ceramides help to improve the look of skin quality, for a fresher, more plumped appearance.

The Beta Glucan within the formula is an effective humectant, which helps to retain moisture. This helps support other ingredients within the formula to offer immediate hydration and barrier support.
Ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin, its non-greasy formula is particularly beneficial for those with oily and combination skin.
