It's everything I could ask for in a skincare product and more! First off, the non-greasy feel is a game changer. Unlike many moisturizers that leave your face feeling like an oil slick, this one absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. No more shiny forehead or oily T-zone! It's also incredibly super hydrating. My skin tends to get dry, especially during those colder months, but with this moisturizer, it stays consistently hydrated throughout the day. It penetrates deeply to provide a lasting moisture boost without feeling heavy or sticky. One of the best things about this product is that a little goes a long way. You only need a small amount to cover your entire face, which makes it not only effective but also economical. It's definitely worth every penny! Finally, I love that it feels light and doesn’t feel oily. You can easily wear it under makeup or on its own, and it won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts. It gives your skin a smooth, healthy glow. It’s not extremely expensive. I’d consider it moderately pricey, but what isn’t these days. And as I said before, a little goes a long way so the price is appropriate for the quality and value. I think it’s comparable to some products that can be found at a dermatologist. If you're on the lookout for a moisturizer that ticks all the right boxes, Dermalogica Face Moisturizer is the one to try. Your skin will thank you! Review: Simply the best - Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is hands down the best moisturizer out there for dry and sensitive skin. I have tried absolutely everything under the sun, but truly nothing compares. And I speak from experience because I have been faithfully using this product morning and night for well over two decades if not even longer than that. Plus, my almost ninety year old Mom has used it just as consistently as I have and we both get compliments on our skin regularly. I am always interested in cutting edge skincare so I have been incorporating a high end red light mask amongst many other products and gadgets, but this moisturizer is the one thing that remains consistent. It is totally versatile because it pairs well with everything and can be worn under makeup for daytime and also as a nourishing cream at night. There is no fragrance and it is incredibly effective at hydrating and smoothing my skin. I have tried moisturizers that are three times the price and my skin somehow doesn't look as plump and happy. I will add that Dermalogica's exosome serum has become my other secret sauce product that I can't live without. People keep asking me what I have been doing to my skin lately and I haven't done a single thing outside my home except to include red light therapy, the serum I mentioned and this cream. ## Features - Restores vital moisture to dry skin - Helps to prevent free radical damage - Strengths skin's lipid barrier - Help rebalance the skin's microbiome ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07P3NBZ5B | | Active Ingredients | Lactic Acid, lactic_acid | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,076 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #197 in Face Moisturizers | | Brand | Dermalogica | | Brand Name | Dermalogica | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,157 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00666151033016 | | Included Components | Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance (1.7 Fl Oz) Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid - Restores Balance to Dry, Depleted Skin for Optimal Barrier Performance | | Item Dimensions | 2 x 1.2 x 4.9 inches | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Highlight | Intensely Moisturizes Dry Skin and Strengthens the Lipid Barrier, with Ceramides, Prebiotic Algae, and Hyaluronic Acid | | Item Type Name | Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance (1.7 Fl Oz) Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid - Restores Balance to Dry, Depleted Skin for Optimal Barrier Performance | | Item Volume | 1.7 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 1.76 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2 x 1.2 x 4.9 inches | | Manufacturer | Dermalogica | | Manufacturer Part Number | 111328 | | Material Features | Cruelty Free | | Material Type Free | Paraben Free | | Model Name | Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance (1.7 Fl Oz) Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid - Restores Balance to Dry, Depleted Skin for Optimal Barrier Performance | | Model Number | 111328 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Not Tested On Animals | | Product Benefits | Moisturizes dry, depleted skin.

Please note, products sold from Dermalogica US are 100% authentic. **Q: I always buy this on Amazon but lately I've heard fake/knock off ones being sold. How do we know we're getting the authentic item new & sealed?** A: I don't know for sure. The bottles I have bought do not look as if they have been used and there is a seal across the opening that you have to remove. The ones i have received to be of the same quality as found in beauty store. I can usually find on Amazon 20-25% off retail price but if you're patient you can buy them directly from Dermalogicas website when they go on sale which is usually about 20% off. **Q: Is this vegan?** A: The ingredients did not mention vegan. The did say “Formulated without artificial fragrances, colors or parabens." **Q: Is it non comedogenic? Does it say that anywhere?** A: It isn't written where I could see on labeling that product is non-comedogenic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Moisture, Little Bottle *by L***A on January 23, 2025* I've been on a quest for the perfect face moisturizer, and I think I've finally found it with Dermalogica's Face Moisturizer.
