This may not be the right product for me - Age 67, combo skin with life-long history of oily skin prior to moving to high desert low humidity city. I need an AM and PM regimen with good science-based mix of ingredients proven to work effectively. Ulta recommended Dermalogica. I need to deal with a couple large brown (sun) spots that BBL laser couldn't get rid of, fine lines, evening out skin tone, and skin that is beginning to loosen at the jaw line, and shadowing from loss of tissue below the eyes. I own a Red Light device have used 10% glycolic in cleanser or topical form for years about 3 times a week, alternating with AHA/BHA and physical exfoliant when cleansing . I recently started cleansing with an oil cleanser. I know Vitamin C, glycolic, retinol and possibly Niacinimide and/or Squalane all help with aging skin. Peptides and ceramacides are newer to me. What regimen can you suggest for a retired woman who wants quality but needs to also be cost conscious?
- Asked by Desiree
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. To address your concerns of dark spots we recommend Powerbright dark spot serum. This can be incorporated into a daily regimen of Skin Resurfacing Cleanser and Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 with Lactic Acid concentrate, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), helps retexturize skin showing signs of aging by removing dulling surface debris and helping to accelerate skin cell turnover and a moisturizer that visibly firms, hydrates skin and protects with Broad Spectrum SPF50.

- Q
I have come across many Dermalogia product reviews and Qs & As as I was looking for myself, but then some Qs & As lead me to ask on behalf of my 22 year old son. We relocated to the high desert (low humidity) from northern California semi coastal environment. Not only are his breathing allergies out of control (now receiving immune therapy) he now has developed what appears to be eczema and is very sensitive to products containing potentially irritating ingredients. He bathes with Vanicream and uses Cera Vie PM moisturizer (it's a liquid). Tea Tree oil is a CULPRIT as germ said most all other fragranced products (even if they are "natural). When customers ask about Intense Moisture Balance, Dermalogica's response is not for acne-prone or sensitive skin. So which of these (or other products) would be best for him: Active Moist or Calm After Gel or Special Cleanser or Skin Smoothing Cream? Which at day which at night?
- Asked by Desiree
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. For daytime we recommend Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30 to help soothe skin, and reduce UV-induced redness and dryness. Antioxidant Green Tea helps defend skin against free radical damage. Ideal for all skin types, including sensitive. For evening we recommend Calm Water Gel, a weightless water-gel moisturizer that hydrates dry, sensitive skin.

- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. We have 2 products that feature tint.

- Q
I use the Ultra calming serum and gel along with the biolumin-c gel moisturizer - all twice a day. I also use a prescription retinoid every 2 nights. I have used the Ultra calming line (I also use the cleansers) and the retinoid for years - the biolumin-c gel moisturizer the past 6 months. However my skin has been so incredibly dry the last few months - mainly because I work in healthcare and where my N95 mask sits on my face all day causes irritation. But it is making my face dry, flakey, and incredibly itchy (on the areas where my mask sits and on the sides of my nose where the maks is making my face crease). I've had to use prescription steroids several times to actually relief the irritation. Do you recommend this product for areas of severe dry skin on top of already using the ultra calming line? I'm mainly just looking to decrease how often I have to turn to a steroid for the dryness.
- Asked by Chelsea
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello there! Thanks for contacting Dermalogica. Intensive Moisture Balance is a great product for dryness and skin lacking oil/water balance. Intensive Moisture Balance with UltraCalming Serum Concentrate may be a great mix to relieve some of your mask irritation.

- Q
I am 32 with acne prone skin. I am using Retina for acne. I am still getting small breakouts around my mouth and chin. This is also where my skin is most dry/itchy from retina. Do you have a moisturizer that will help with this dryness? I live in a subhumid climate but frequently travel to Colorado where my skin gets especially irritated so maybe two separate moisturizers for the different climates?
- Asked by Evie
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageThank you for contacting Dermalogica. There are a few options available to you for your specific concerns that you've addressed. Skin Smoothing Cream is good medium weight option for you to try but you could also consider UltraCalming segment: Calm Water Gel and/or Barrier Repair for the more unfavorable climate. These are soothing enough for the dryness that the Retin-A may cause as well as protective against weather elements. Best Wishes, Dermalogica Team. Was this answer helpful to you

Old formula was better
LOVED the older version of this lotion...very nourishing and pampering...then it seemed to get watery and less moisturizing. Still a good lotion but if I wanted a lighter lotion I would order one...now there doesn't seem to be a truly "intensive moisturizing" one on the dermalogica line...hope they ...
