I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- A bit thick, balmy, grainy out of the tube - you really have to squeeze and warm it a bit between your fingers or on your face before it starts to melt. So it looks scarier than what it actually is.
- Works ok under the make up, but not the best choice in combination with many other products. It doesn't cause pilling but if paired with thing that might, it makes it worse.
- I don't think it feels super moisturizing/hydrating, I felt like I wanted to put more and more on my skin in the beginning. It doesn't layer nicely however, the rest won't sink in. Better put something else under it. So it's definitely not enough on it's own but honestly, nothing is for my skin.
+ I noticed the difference, the calmness, in my skin after about a week using NMF + HA during the nights.
+ I haven't had a single acne breakout after introducing it! Not even during my period. Is it the weather, lessened stress, weight loss, or the moisturizer? We might never know. I'm not complaining.
+ I think, my skin is calmer and looks more even.
+ It does sink into skin very nicely and fast, surprising because of it's balm like consistency. Doesn't feel heavy at all. Leaves skin looking healthy, not shiny. Maybe almost matte for people who don't use oils etc under it?
+ No fragrance. No irritation. No alcohol. Doesn't clog my pores at all.
+ Cheap, cheap, cheap!

* At first I used NMF + HA only during the nights for about two weeks, then both during the day and night. It's been now about a month? Under it I use for example (not everyday, not in order...) TO's Niacinamide + Zinc, TO's Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution, SKIN&LAB K Plus Red-X Essence, Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Lotion, TO's Lactic Acid, TO's Salicylic Acid, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Squalane...
* Comparing NMF + HA and my old trusted Neutrogena moisturizer, Neutrogena feels a lot more pleasant, soft, sinks in fast, I can layer it many times, works great under make up. However NMF+ HA makes my skin healthier looking, defies acne attacks better, calms skin.
* I'm quite excited I've found a moisturizer that works for my skin. It's been difficult. But it really makes a difference what moisturizer you're using. It's not all about serums!
* Will be interesting to see if my skin will improve more once the tube is finished (will take maybe 2 months more) but I don't think so, it worked so fast to balance my skin that now it's just doing maintenance work!
Price:
7,7 € / 100 ml
Bought from:
The Ordinary webstore
Buy again?
Yes. Definitely.
Worth the money?
Absolutely. Can't believe TO's NMF + HA 100 ml is so cheap! (50 ml of Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturiser costs about the same.) I would recommend everyone to try it at least once, even though I'm not sure if it works for extremely oily or dry skin. Also it does need something extra under it, I recommend oils obviously, rose hip seed oil is my favourite. Also the texture and consistency are not a deal breaker for me but maybe for some people they are.
