Accidental scar treatment?
I think this faded 15+ year old scars…?!? It's the only new product I've used, and the only thing that I apply to my neck and upper chest. I've had these 2 small keloid scars forever, and tried a variety of both cheap and expensive topical scar treatments. None worked, although silicon tape seemed t...

Inefficace !!
Je déteste ce produit ! Je précise d'emblée que j'ai la peau grasse faiblement déshydratée. La texture est superbe, le gel est épais mais facile à étirer, il glisse sur la peau sans effort, il n'y a aucun parfum, le tube est hyginéique et protège le produit de l'exposition à la lumière... ...

i tried to get myself to like it
it feels like i put a purposefully drying product all over my face. my skin is tight, dry, and sticky for hours after using. i thought at first i was using too much, but it feels the same no matter how much or little i use.
Not so good
My local store was out of Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA so I decided to try this one. Firstly, it's a gel and not a cream and that should have been my first clue. It applied it and while it went on smooth, that was not the ending result. My face feels like I'm wearing a mask of sorts and my skin does not feel hydrated at all. It feels like a dry cast and during these often dry fall/winter months this is NOT what I need for my skin. 0/10 would not recommend.
great for oily/combo skin
works well for my combo skin in the summer. makes my skin look healthy and hydrated and not oily which i love. the only con is that it is a little sticky on the face, but it's not super bothersome.
Oily skin moisturizer
This is the best moisturizer for those with oily skin! I work in a hospital and this is the only moisturizer that has been able to keep my oil at bay to reduce breakouts without drying out my skin. It probably wouldn't work for those with normal and dry skin. I do have normal patches around my eyes so I use the Derma-E Skin Restore Advanced Peptides at night. Together, these are a dream team for those who want beautifully moisturized but not too oily skin that work in a hospital! For refernce, I have oily, acne-prone skin. I use Derma-E Acne Deep Pore Cleansing face cleanser, The Ordinary's niacinamide serum, and this moisturizer for day time plus the Derma-E moisturizer mentioned above at night time. With this combo, I have minimal acne only around where hospital masks, hairnets, etc touch.
not good for dry and sensitive skin
terrible for dry skin-it made me feel even drier after application. pills under makeup-my lightweight foundation looked awful when paired with this moisturizer. It also made my face red and I was very aware of it, if that makes sense. I couldn't wait to wash it off. I gave it to my husband who has oily skin and he seems to be having better luck.

What is beta-glucan?

Beta-Glucans are polysaccharides (chains of repeating sugar-like molecules) found in yeast, fungi (including mushrooms), some bacteria, seaweeds and cereals.

Can you mix this with tretenoin?
- Asked by Valerie
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageUnfortunately, it is difficult for us to comment on the pairing of our products with those of other brands. We recommend consulting with your doctor/dermatologist, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time, and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.
