THE ORDINARY Multi-Active Delivery Essence
(Serum/concentrate for the face)
A hydrating and conditioning essence that leaves skin feeling softer and smoother while preparing it for the absorption of ingredients.
Multi-Active Delivery Essence is a hydrating essence that nourishes and refreshes the skin, making it softer. The lightweight skincare essence strengthens the skin’s barrier after just one use, and keeps it hydrated and radiant all day long.
Multi-Active Delivery Essence contains a specific combination of four active technologies that effectively improve skin hydration by promoting the penetration of skincare ingredients into the skin.
In tests with 10% niacinamide and 1% zinc, Multi-Active Delivery Essence was able to deliver twice as much niacinamide into the skin after one hour than when 10% niacinamide and 1% zinc were applied separately. (1) The four key technologies in our Multi-Active range of solutions
are listed below .
10% Glycerin – A humectant that helps improve skin moisture levels and elasticity, and can help deliver key technologies.
5% Propanediol – Effectively improves penetration, helping to better deliver key ingredients and improve skin water retention and hydration, as well as strengthening the skin’s barrier.
Sodium Caproyl Prolinate – An amino acid derivative that hydrates the skin by improving ingredient delivery.
Glycogen – A polysaccharide that provides energy to the skin. It has been shown to help provide skin hydration and essential lipids for the barrier.
Instant Softness – Instantly hydrates (2) and conditions skin for a softer, smoother complexion. (3)
Long-lasting Hydration – Provides rapid hydration throughout the day. (2)
Enhanced Ingredient Penetration – Double penetration of 10% Niacinamide and 1% Zinc after one hour. (1)
Long-lasting Radiance – Maintains skin’s radiance all day long. (3)
Visibly smoothing – skin looks instantly smoother. (3)
