Dermalogica Moisturisers: Hydration for Every Skin Type

Moisturising is a non-negotiable step in any skincare routine — but not all moisturisers are created equal. At Dermalogica, our moisturisers go beyond basic hydration. They are formulated with advanced ingredients to target specific skin concerns, strengthen the skin barrier, and deliver long-lasting results.

Why Moisturising Matters

Your skin needs hydration to function optimally. Moisturisers help:

  • Reinforce the skin’s protective barrier
  • Prevent water loss and dehydration
  • Soothe irritation and sensitivity
  • Improve texture and elasticity
  • Enhance the performance of other skincare products

Choosing the Right Dermalogica Moisturiser for Your Skin

1. Active Moist

Skin Type: Normal to oily

Concern: Dehydration, excess oil

A lightweight, oil-free moisturiser that hydrates without clogging pores. With prebiotic moisture complex, lemon, cucumber and burdock extracts, provides long lasting hydration, improved skin texture and healthy microbiome.

2. Skin Smoothing Cream

Skin Type: Normal to dry

Concern: Dehydration, dullness

Powered by Active HydraMesh Technology™, this best-selling moisturiser delivers 48 hours of continuous hydration. It helps lock in moisture and helps shield skin’s natural microbiome from environmental stress.

3. Intensive Moisture Balance

Skin Type: Dry to very dry

Concern: Barrier damage, flakiness

Rich in BioReplenish Complex™, this deeply nourishing moisturiser restores lipids and strengthens the skin barrier. With prebiotic Chlorella Algae complex, it helps rebalance the skin's natural microbiome for healthy-looking skin. Ideal for dry, mature, or compromised skin.

4. Calm Water Gel

Skin Type: Sensitive, reactive

Concern: Redness, irritation

This ultra-lightweight gel moisturiser transforms into a water-like texture upon application. With dual hyaluronic acid technology working in different skin surface layers to increase and lock in moisture, while apple fruit extract hydrates and calms sensitised skin.

5. Super Rich Repair

Skin Type: Chronically dry, ageing

Concern: Fine lines, loss of firmness

A heavy-duty moisturiser enriched with evening primrose oil, shea butter, and antioxidants to restore elasticity and deeply nourish ageing skin. It stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid to increase skin elasticity.

How to Use Dermalogica Moisturisers

  1. Cleanse your skin with a suitable Dermalogica cleanser.
  2. Apply toner and serum to prep and treat your skin.
  3. Dispense a pea-sized amount of moisturiser and gently massage into face and neck.
  4. Follow with SPF during the day to protect your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skip moisturiser if I have oily skin?

No. Oily skin still needs hydration. Skipping moisturiser can lead to dehydration, causing your skin to produce even more oil.

Which Dermalogica moisturiser is best for dry skin?

Intensive Moisture Balance is for dry skin and Super Rich Repair is for very dry or matured skin. They restore lipids and deeply nourish the skin barrier.

Is Calm Water Gel suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. It’s specifically formulated for reactive skin and helps soothe redness and irritation while delivering hydration. Men can also use it after shave as a soothing and calming moisturiser.

Can I use Dermalogica moisturisers under makeup?

Absolutely. Most Dermalogica moisturisers absorb quickly and create a smooth, hydrated base for makeup application.

How often should I apply moisturiser?

Twice daily — morning and night — after cleansing and applying serums. Consistent use helps maintain skin health and hydration.

Dermalogica moisturisers are more than hydration — they’re skin solutions. Whether you’re looking to calm, replenish, or protect, our formulas are designed to deliver visible results and long-term skin health.

FAQs

A facial moisturizer hydrates the skin, helps strengthen and maintain the skin barrier, and locks in serums and active treatments for healthier-looking skin. Moisturizers come in different textures, such as gels, lotions, creams, and balms, designed to meet varying hydration and barrier-support needs.

Choose a moiturizer based on both texture and skin concern: oil-free gels or lotions for oily or combination skin, richer creams or balms for dry or barrier-compromised skin, and fragrance-free or calming formulas for sensitive skin. A professional skin assessment can help identify the most suitable option for your needs.

Apply moisturizer after cleansing, misting or toning, and applying serums, both morning and night. In the morning, follow moisturizer with sunscreen. In the evening, you may want to opt for a richer moisturizer or overnight formula to support skin recovery.

Not necessarily. Many modern moisturizers are formulated to be non-comedogenic and hydrate without blocking pores. If you are acne-prone, look for lightweight, oil-free, or gel-based moisturizers specifically designed for breakout-prone skin.

Serums are concentrated treatments that deliver targeted active ingredients into the skin, while moisturizers focus on hydration and barrier support and help lock those actives in. Using both together allows serums to treat specific concerns while moisturizers maintain comfort and skin balance.

Often, yes. Daytime moisturizers are typically lighter and formulated to layer comfortably under sunscreen and makeup, while night moisturizers are often richer to support barrier repair and hydration during sleep.

Use a pea- to quarter-sized amount for the face, depending on the product's texture and your skin's needs. Applying thin, even layers helps ensure proper absorption and avoids excess product buildup.

Yes. Apply skincare from thinnest to thickest: cleanse, mist or toner, serum(s), moisturizer, then sunscreen in the morning. This layering order allows active ingredients to absorb effectively while the moisturizer seals in hydration.

Look for hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and niacinamide. If you have sensitive skin, choose fragrance-free, calming formulas. Prioritize ingredients that support skin health rather than products that rely on exaggerated or unrealistic claims.

Most people notice immediate improvements in hydration and skin comfort. More visible changes in skin texture, barrier strength, and overall appearance typically develop over several weeks with consistent use, especially when paired with targeted treatments and professional guidance.
