Best praise vs top criticism for The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
“Aquaphor or straight up Vaseline might be your best bet here. I slather that stuff on at night and wake up looking like a glazed donut but my skin feels amazing. The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA is pretty heavy too if you want something less petroleum-y”
“Avoid BYOMA products. Just tried something in their line and my face got all red and itchy. Apparently there's some sort of exfoliant in their ingredients, so not sure if that was the problem or the rosemary oil. I second Vanicream. (I use The Ordinary's moisturizer, which I know you said you didn't like. I get that--in the winter when I have dry/combo skin, it doesn't always feel like it's doing enough.)”
