The Ordinary Essentials Bundle

This bundle contains:

Squalane Cleanser

This gentle, soap-free cleanser removes make-up and impurities whilst retaining your skin’s natural moisture (how many cleansers can you say that about?). The secret here is squalane. It’s found naturally in your skin and acts as an awesome hydrator that helps prevent moisture loss. The added Lipophilic Esters dissolve make-up and daily grime, leaving your pores free to breathe. Alcohol-free, it also doubles up as a makeup remover that’s suitable for everyday use.

Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 provides instant plumping hydration to give softer, smoother, healthy-looking skin. The lightweight formula replenishes skin’s hydration levels with all-day results, and helps the skin retain moisture to replump dry, dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 also promotes skin suppleness and elasticity, while minimising the appearance of fine dry lines.

This formulation contains 5 forms of hyaluronic acid, which helps provide hydration to multiple layers of the surface of skin. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant found naturally in the skin where it binds to water. The forms included are low-, medium- and high-molecular-weight molecules, a HA crosspolymer, and hydrolyzed HA.

The formulation also contains ceramides to help keep moisture locked in. Ceramides are lipids (fatty molecules) found naturally in the skin that help support the skin barrier to keep skin protected and hydrated. The ceramides used in this formula are known as sphingolipids.

Pro-vitamin B5 helps support the formation of key skin barrier components like ceramides and fatty acids, which further helps keep moisture locked in, keeping the skin moisturized for longer.

Natural Moisturising Factors + HA

Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) are elements that keep the outer layer of the skin protected and well-hydrated. NMF are made up of multiple amino acids, fatty acids, triglycerides, urea, ceramides, phospholipids, glycerin, saccharides, sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid and many other compounds that are naturally present in the skin.

The Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) is a group of elements that, together with epidermal lipids, keep the outer layer of the skin protected and well-hydrated. NMF are made up of water-loving compounds, including multiple amino acids, urea, glycerin, saccharides, sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid. Skin lipids are oil-loving and mostly composed of ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol and many other compounds that are naturally present in the skin. This formula offers non-greasy hydration that mimics the hydration supporting effects of the skin's own NMF and lipid components. It contains 11 amino acids, phospholipids, alpha/beta/gamma fatty acids, triglycerides, sterols and sterol esters, glycerin, ceramide precursors, urea, saccharides, sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid. It offers immediate hydration and lasting results with continued use.
