Quick Review: The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. Foundation Primer?

This is a product that generally get's mixed reviews. Some people don't like it and some love it. Some people feel it's just okay. Some people say it broke them out or gave them a reaction...

This product is half the standard 60 ml size, so $5.80 CAD, so not as amazing as it sounds but still really good price compared to the majority of skincare out there. Deciem just released a larger version actually!

I think this is a very decent moisturizer. It's not heavy at all, so if you're looking for super hydration, this will leave you disappointed. It really dries down and feels a little tight. It's not the most moisturizing but gives more moisture than no moisturizer at all. I have normal to dry skin with an oily nose. I usually break out from makeup products, so I consider myself more on the acne-prone side. I've had no bad reactions or acne from it.

I don't use this as a moisturizer. It's too basic in ingredients for me. There are no antioxidants. I need scar fading and anti-aging ingredients in my moisturizer for my acne 'scars'. I use this for daily is as a foundation prep. I never use primers actually. They scare the hell out of me (breakouts!) and they don't do much at all for me so are a waste of money. This moisturizer is great because it's thin on the skin and doesn't ball up when I apply foundation on top.

So if you're looking for a great silicone free primer, try this! I really enjoy if for that and will be repurchasing now that i've used it up.
