Excellent Moisturizer for Hydrated, Balanced Skin!

"I absolutely love the Intensive Moisture Balance Moisturizer! It has a rich, nourishing texture that leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated without feeling too heavy. It absorbs nicely into the skin and helps keep my complexion feeling comfortable and moisturized throughout the day. I also love how it supports my skin’s moisture balance and leaves it feeling healthy and refreshed. A great addition to my skincare routine that I would definitely recommend!"

— Meagan S. (5/5)

I use it under make

"I use it under make up. I used to have dry skin and now I do not have any issues with dry skin. I will wait for the colder months to determine if it will work for me during that time, if not I know that another product from Dermalogica will work for me! My skin is smooth, soft and well hydrated."

Does this cream have a unique smell ? My tube has a mint smell to it.
Hello Margaret, Thank you for your question! While our products are not classified as completely fragrance-free, they are formulated without artificial fragrances or synthetic perfumes. Any scent that you may notice in our products comes naturally from the botanical ingredients and other plant-based extracts carefully selected for their skin benefits. Since these natural ingredients are an integral part of our formulations, each product has its own unique aroma, which reflects the natural components used to create it. I hope this information helps. Please feel free to contact us at support@dermalogica.zendesk.com if you have any additional questions or concerns, we are happy to help. Kindly, Sandra
Is this safe for pregnancy?
Hi there Elyse, thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The Intensive Moisture Balance is safe to use while pregnant and nursing. Please ensure to confirm with your doctor as well. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
I see the special cleansing gel, microfoliant, and the moisture balance moisturizer all utilize AHAs. Is it safe to use all these products at once even if they all contain AHAs?
Hello Bry, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Yes, these are all safe to utilize together, as the way the AHAs would be formulated are going to depend on their particular purpose within the product, the only product that would contain them for exfoliation purposes specifically would be the daily microfoliant. Kind Regards Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
I see this contains alpha hydroxy acids, can this still be used along with Retin-A?
Hello Malaika, This moisturizer is safe to use along with retinol, however if you have any prescription product that you are inquiring of, we would advise you to consult with your medical provider in the case they have any particular recommendations for you! Kind Regards Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
