Common questions

Is The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Lightweight Moisturiser fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Lightweight Moisturiser contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Lightweight Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?

None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. One of its ingredients isn't in our glossary yet, so check that one yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan Lightweight Moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
