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

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.
