In today’s video, I review The Ordinary Rice Lipids + 2% Ectoin Microemulsion, a lightweight, fragrance free moisturizer designed for dry, sensitive, and redness prone skin. This soothing barrier support formula features rice lipids, 2% ectoin, natural moisturizing factors, urea, and jojoba oil. I discuss the ingredient list, product claims, texture, layering performance under sunscreen and makeup, and how it compares to other ectoin products including Paula’s Choice.
Is this new Ordinary moisturizer worth trying? Let’s break down the science behind ectoin, barrier repair, hydration, and redness reduction.

Have you tried ectoin in your skincare routine? I’d love to know your experience and what skin type you have.
I received the Paula’s Choice Ectoin in a bundle of gifts, and I have to admit, I like it. I especially like it as I recently started Adapalene and the PC Ectoin tames the irritation nicely. My answer to their price is to wait until it goes on sale and stock up. I actually like the Prequel 5% Ectoin cream better, though it is much more occlusive and a little goes a very long way.
What’s your thought on Prequel REACTIVE SKIN SOLUTIONS
5% ECTOIN CREAM?
Do you know further moisturizers with a Microemulsion formulation? Or moisturizers which are reversed emulsion technology, I only know Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, U Beauty The Smart Hydrator, Make Beauty Hydrascape and Naturium Barrier Bounce,……
I absolutely love this product on my 69 years skin. I am amazed how my skin loves it and it shows.
