Review: AMAZING - My routine for the AM: oil cleanser- milk toner- niacinamide- caffeine solution for eyes- beta moisturizer. My routine for the PM: SA Cleanser- essence- hyaluronic- caffeine solution for eyes- Beta moisturizer. For deep moisturizer i place Biodance pads on my cheeks and cut one up for my nose and I leave it on until it dries. When I wake up I use rosewater facial mist. Moisturizes my face. I use it btwn the day. Absolutely wonderful. This new routine has CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! Within a week! My face is so moisturized. No more clogged pores! My makeup puts on nicely. Thank You Ordinary! Please so not ever change your prices. You got a loyal FOR LIFE!! I love these products. Affordable and I can come to them time and time again!
Review: This hidden step you didn't know you needed - I have super dry and dehydrated skin no matter what I do. I have tried every moisturizer to get my skin to look even a little more hydrated with very little luck. I added this to my skin routine and what a change. Its instantly moisturizing on its own but then you can add ANY other moisturizer to your skin and this helps get it into your skin. Sometimes when I wash my face at night I can still feel my skincare products have not absorbed and I do not have that problem after adding this to my routine! highly recommended for all skin times but mostly my dry girlies

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What skin concerns does Muti-Active Delivery Essence help target?**
A: Muti-Active Delivery Essence targets dehydration and dryness, and improves absorption of subsequent skincare ingredients. Use it alone for dryness/dehydration, or with other products to boost delivery of their ingredients for other skin concerns.

**Q: Does Muti-Active Delivery Essence have any conflicts?**
A: We do not recommend using Multi-Active Delivery Essence in the same regimen as retinoids (such as retinal, retinol or granactive retinoid), or direct acids (such as glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic and azelaic acids).

**Q: What is the difference between a toner and essence?**
A: Toners can offer multiple functions, including exfoliation, hydration and soothing. Essences focus on hydration and conditioning benefits, commonly layered alongside other serums and lotions as a way to incorporate an extra layer of hydration.

**Q: How long before I see Muti-Active Delivery Essence results?**
A: Immediate results are softer, smoother, hydrated, and radiant skin. Short-term results are boosted absorption of other skincare ingredients. Long-term results are continuous improvements in radiance/smoothness and a firmer skin appearance.

*by M***A on September 15, 2025*

The Ordinary wins again. I’m loving this item. I really feel like my skincare products are more effective after starting this. Quality is certainly there, and it’s super easy to use and apply as the first step in my routine. Skin feels soft, not tight or dry. Definitely a good value for the money. I will be repurchasing.
