The Ordinary Multi‑Active Delivery Essence (100 ml)

A lightweight, water-based essence designed to boost hydration, soften the skin, and prep it for better absorption of subsequent skincare products.

• Glycerin (10%): deep hydration and barrier support 

• Propanediol (5%): enhances moisture and aids ingredient delivery 

• Sodium caproyl prolinate & glycogen: amino‑acid humectants that refine texture and soften skin 

• Clean formula: alcohol‑free, oil‑free, silicone‑free, vegan, cruelty‑free, gluten‑free

Feels like water—very light, non-sticky, absorbs instantly with a smooth, matte finish and works seamlessly under makeup 

• Immediate hydration and softened, smoother skin after first use 

• Supports long-term barrier strength and improves skin resilience and luminosity 

• Enhances penetration of active ingredients (e.g., doubles niacinamide absorption in 1 hour) 

How to use
Use morning and/or evening after cleansing. Use 2–4 drops, pat into skin before applying serums/moisturizer. Avoid using with acids or retinoids in the same routine due to its delivery enhancement properties 

Ideal for those seeking a gentle hydration layer to support barrier function, smooth texture, and improve ingredient absorption. Great for mornings and sensitive skin.

A crisp, budget-friendly essence that refines texture, boosts hydration, and enhances the performance of your routine. If you want deeper hydration or specific treatment effects, pair it with more targeted serums or moisturizers.
