Here's what our community thinks
The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan 40 ingredients
The moisturiser didnt break me out and it isnt sticky, very easy to spread and apply. The price is alright for the volume it provides.
Used for a few years but had a persistant feeling of stickiness and my skin would be very oily afterwards. Would recommend for dry skin but not oily or combination.
