Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion Moisturizer
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion Moisturizer is an impossibly lightweight, runny formula that delivers deep hydration without any weight or residue. One creator with oily, acne-prone skin calls it transformative for summer, noting it leaves skin plump and hydrated but invisible on the face. Another with brown and olive skin tones confirms it is extremely hydrating and one of the few moisturizers that doesn't break them out.
