Rice Lipid Microemulsion + Ectoine - Microemulsie hidratanta

Definitely worth adding to my collection of serums

I really like this. This is a nice serum that I use over my tretinoin at night and I wake up with glowing moist skin, never dry from the tret!! 💛

The Ordinary’s Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion is an amazing option for folks who want a product that moisturizes and hydrates without being too heavy on the skin. It’s almost serum-like in texture, but keeps my skin hydrated all evening long. I think this will definitely be my go-to over the summer when my skin is craving something lighter!

Lightweight hydration

This moisturizer is really hydrating and also very lightweight which is a hard combo to find! It almost feels like a combo between a serum and a moisturizer. It’s helping heal my skin barrier and makes my skin look glowy and less red. This is a new staple in my routine.

I initially used this on my face, and did not like it. It made me look and feel overly greasy, all day! It also looked like it accentuated the texture of my skin. So disappointing as it seems to work so well for others. I ended up trying it on the back of my hands which had become so dry and wrinkly after moving to the southwest. My hands like it much better! So I will continue to use it on my hands but will probably not buy this again.

This is such a great skincare product! I was not sure how to use this initially but I use it as the last step in my skincare routine as a moisturizer. This works so well under makeup and really makes my skin feel hydrated. It has a lightweight milky consistency that gives such a dewy look to my skin. It’s not heavy at all and works well with different serums, toners, and any other skincare products underneath it. I haven’t experienced any pilling or patchiness when applying foundation on top of it and I don’t have any issues applying primer on top of it either. I have extremely dry skin so I did not think this would give enough hydration to my skin but I was happily surprised. I highly recommend this and I think it would work well for most skin types!

Good

Leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and soft! I can tell a difference right after using it. It’s been a week in total, my acne calmed and so did my acne scars!! It’s a perfect starter. Love all the ordinary products.

So nice

This hydrating moisturizer from the ordinary is so nice. It has a milky texture and goes on very smoothly . I use it as a last step for extra hydration. As a dry skin girlie I love products like this.

Deeply hydrating

This product is great for the winter and for people with extreme dry skin! It transforms skin as it soaks at night in the product - I will always recommend the ordinary products as they truly work without the high dollar value

Love The Ordinary's Hydrating Rice Lipids + Ectoin Moisturizer! It absorbs quickly, leaving skin super soft and hydrated. The texture is light and non-greasy with no scent. Rice lipids and ectoin lock in moisture beautifully. Great for dry skin, but works well with combination skin too. Perfect for a weightless feel, especially in summer.

Red and dry skin? You need this

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been testing this moisturizer and really enjoy how lightweight it feels on my skin. The texture absorbs quickly with no greasy finish, but still keeps my skin hydrated and comfortable throughout the day. My skin tends to get dry and a bit red, and after using it consistently I noticed my skin looks calmer and more balanced. It also gives a nice healthy glow without feeling heavy. I like using it both morning and night because it layers well with the rest of my skincare and under makeup.

Gentle Hydration for Dry, Sensitive Skin

I’ve been using The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion for about three weeks now, and as someone who is 39 with dry, sensitive skin, I’m always cautious about new products. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The formula feels lightweight but nourishing at the same time. I really appreciate the combination of rice lipids, which help support the skin barrier, and ectoin, an ingredient known for protecting the skin from environmental stress and helping retain moisture. Together they create a soothing, hydrating effect without feeling heavy or greasy. It absorbs quickly and layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare routine. My skin feels calmer, softer, and more comfortable after using it, with no irritation or tightness. For anyone with dry or sensitive skin looking for a gentle, barrier-supporting moisturizer with a modern formula, this is definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!

Lightweight and hydrating

The texture is incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy or heavy feeling on the skin. Even though it feels light, it still provides a nice boost of hydration and keeps my skin feeling soft and comfortable. It’s especially great for warmer weather because it layers beautifully under sunscreen and makeup without pilling. My skin feels calm, balanced, and hydrated throughout the day. If you prefer lightweight moisturizers but still want something nourishing for the skin barrier, this is a great option for summer.
