A hydrating and conditioning essence that softens and smooths skin, while priming for ingredient delivery.

The Ordinary Multi-Active Delivery Essence is a hydrating essence that instantly nourishes and restores skin condition, giving for softer-feeling skin. The lightweight skincare essence strengthens the skin barrier after one application, and keeps skin hydrated and luminous all day.

Multi-Active Delivery Essence contains a specific combination of four active technologies, which effectively boost skin hydration to increase penetration of skincare ingredients.

When tested with Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, Multi-Active Delivery Essence was able to increase the penetration of niacinamide by 2 times after 1 hour vs when Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is applied alone*.

Part of our range of Multi-Active Solutions, the four key technologies found in Multi-Active Delivery Essence are:

10% Glycerin: A humectant that is widely known to help improve skin hydration and elasticity, and which can help improve delivery of key technologies within a formulation

5% Propanediol: An effective penetration enhancer which can help to increase the delivery of key ingredients by supporting skins water content, water retention and skin barrier

Sodium Caproyl Prolinate: An amino-acid derivative which hydrates the skin to help improve the delivery of ingredients.

Glycogen: A polysaccharide that energizes skin. It has also been shown to help support skin hydration and essential barrier lipids for more moisturized skin.

Testing shows:
Instant softness: Immediately hydrates** and conditions, for softer-feeling skin.***
