Worked better than expected
I did the quiz on their website and was recommended this, along with other products for my dry skin, and I was thoroughly surprised with how well it worked. It's not safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it also helps make my skin go from dry as the Sahara to as dewy as the morning grass, and it lasts all day. This, plus the other products by them, helps me have very hydrated skin!

Great for dry skin
I didnt think id like this one at first. It does feel a little heavy and it needs some time to absorb into the skin. But i have struggled for years with dry, flaky, sensitive, acne prone skin and this is the first moisturizer ive tried where my skin feels as comfortable halfway through my day as when i put it on in the morning. It feels great and i repurchased a 6 month supply.

Lovely moisturizer for year round use
Great for combination skin. I love this even more than The Ordinary's regular moisturizer, as you can really feel the difference in the moisture level. When I travel and I'm paring down to basic essentials, I always take this mositurizer. It's almost like it has a buildable moisture level - use less where you dont feel dry, more where you want/need more. Love it and will always purchase.

sensitive acne safe
as someone with dry and acne prone skin who's dealt with so many actives this moisturizer keeps me from peeling and repairs my skin barrier. definitely use a serum before or else it doesnt absorb as well into the skin. a little goes a long way. ive repurchased this so many times affordable for the quality.

Feels like a grease mask
So oily. It feels like my face is being suffocated with crisco. It doesnt really absorb, it just kind sits on top smothering your skin. This is definitely getting returned, I'll stick with Clinique

So far so good!
It has definitely helped keep my skin hydrated and protected this winter; no breakouts so far and it sits nicely under my sunscreen. My only con is that it is a but thick, but if you take the time to work it into the skin a little bit does go a long way.

May seem pricey, but it lasts a long time!
This moisturizer is great for all ages. My 40 year old niece was telling me about it and then I realized I already had some! I loved it when I used it originally, then for some reason I started using something else. I'm 72, most people guess me to be in my late 50s. Granted, I'm blessed with good genes, but this moisturizer does do a great job! It's not greasy, it blends well with any foundation or concealer I may use and you only need to use a dime size dollop for your entire face and neck. I highly recommend all of The Ordinary products that I use with this moisturizer being at the very top of my daily regimen!

Healed my skin barrier
I had dry patchy skin especially on my forehead for several years that nothing would fix. This moisturizer healed my skin barrier and dramatically changed my skin. This is one of few products I will keep repurchasing and will not let myself run out of.

amazing product for dehydrated skin!
I purchased the Glow Set from the Ordinary because I already knew I loved the Glycolic acid from this brand but needed to find a moisturizer to help my dehydrated skin barrier. I've been using this Pyhtoceramides moisturizer and WOW. It's rich and creamy yet not too heavy. leaves an unbelievable glow. It feels amazing on my dehydrated combo skin! I have been using this at night after my retinoid or azelaic acid from this brand and when I wake up... chefs kiss. Smooth and plump in the morning lol definitely going to make this a staple in my nighttime skincare regimen. Love this!

Favorite moisturizer
I'm on my third bottle of this! I have oily acne prone skin and this hasnt made me breakout. I use benzoyl peroxide often so my skin tends to get dry easily. This soothes my skin and provides the needed hydration. I use this in the morning and at night. I will say it is pretty heavy, you will get that "glow". I do find myself having to use oil blotters a little more frequently throughout the day, but thats not something that bothers me as an eveyday makeup wearer. If you are oily and dont wear makeup this might not be something you would want to wear for daytime.

This is my second time buying it, and I never regret it
I love The Ordinary moisturizer because it's not sticky, and it makes my skin soft and smooth. I'm happy I can always find it at Ulta Beauty

Smells musty
This moisturizer smells terrible - like a musty rag. Truly shocked none of the other reviews mention this - it’s so bad.

You get what you pay for.
I ran out of my Dr. Jart ceramidin cream and was looking for a more affordable option. Greasy feeling, never really soaked in. Also made me break out really bad. 0/10 Would not recommend.

The cream is good but if it is dry skin, but if it is oily skin I do not recommend it.

It's greasy but it works
I'd consider this more of a dry skin treatment than a long-term everyday moisturizer. It cured my face of some long-term dryness from cleansers and products that were too harsh. The texture seems designed for patting onto the skin since it's kind of hard to rub around, and I think that's why it says to only use a small amount. At first it doesn't feel like enough when you pat it on, but as it warms on your face it melts and gets more oily. Makes my hair stick to my face which is annoying, especially when blow drying. I appreciate how it healed my skin and made it super soft again, though it's too high-maintenence of a product for me to use regularly. I'm interested in their lighter moisturizer for that. This tube lasted me 5 months so that was nice and cost effective.

Nighttime skincare!
Personally, i love this for my night routine! With the rich & thick consistency i find it comparable to a night time mask. It absorbs very well, and will definitely give off wet greasy vibes which is why i use it at night for the perfect moisturized morrning skin. A little goes a longgg way. You will be glowing! Try it out :)
