The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 30ml

Product Information

Think about how you feel when you’re thirsty — you become uncomfortable and restless right? That’s exactly how your skin feels when its thirsty (dehydrated). You need to give your skin its thirst of hydration, although staying hydrated inside-out is recommended — by drinking enough water, not only does it flush out toxins from the system, but also helps hydrate the skin, but that’s not enough for skin surface hydration. Natural Moisturizing Factors are necessary for optimal hydration in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. NMFs occur as part of the skin’s complex structure and function to maintain moisture balance as a byproduct of skin metabolism.

Or mix a few drops of your favorite facial oil into the moisturizer for added moisture.
