Skin care just got smarter. Next-gen smart serum delivers what your skin needs, when it needs it. SmartResponse technology helps stop skin damage before it starts – using four smart actives which, when triggered, hydrate, brighten, soothe, and address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in response to skin’s changing needs. Oligosaccharides from hydrolyzed Beta Glucan respond to dehydration signals, helping skin to maintain optimal hydration levels. Hydrolyzed Wheat Flour, rich in arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides, activates as needed to brighten and help reduce the appearance of dark spots. Antioxidant-rich Japanese Cornelia Cherry helps to protect stressed skin against free radicals, helping to soothe and reduce the appearance of redness. Plant-based Mannose-6-Phosphate visibly smooths and provides a firming effect, responding to the first signs of visible skin aging to help improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Q&A

Does this serum require a sunscreen after applying?: Hello Cory, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Correct, after applying your serum step, you would then need to apply your moisturizer, and if using during the day, your SPF as well! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
I currently use moisturizer and barrier repair. Can smart response serum be added to my current routine? Or does the smart response serum replace the barrier repair?: Hello Christine, thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The Smart Response serum is a serum that can be applied under your moisturizer, including the Barrier Repair! The Smart Response Serum would not replace the Barrier Repair. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
If applying after toner, do I need to wait for the toner to dry/absorb before applying the smart response serum?: Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for your question. You do not need to wait until your toner is dry to apply the Smart Response Serum. You can apply the serum onto damp skin. After applying the Smart Response Serum, please allow one minute for product absorption then proceed with moisturizer. I hope this helps. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
After cleansing my face I use the hyaluronic ceramide mist. Should I use Smart Response Serum before or after the mist?: Hello Fernanda, Thank you for Contacting Dermalogica! You would first use the hyaluronic ceramide mist and then follow with the smart response serum! Here is a general example of a full routine order: 1. Precleanse 2. Cleanser 3. Exfoliant 4. Masque (2-3x per week) 5. Toner 6. Serums or targeted treatments 7. Eye Treatment 8. Moisturizer (and SPF in the AM) I hope this information helps! Kind Regards, Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
Do you rinse it off?: Hello, Christine! Thank you for choosing Dermalogica! You do not have to wipe off this serum! This serum responses to what your skin needs! Make sure to apply after you have exfoliated, or if you are masking, you can apply after using the mask.
