This is really a 'product information' question but the radio button is broken for that option. Does this product protect against blue light as well? Also, how does it do against combination/acne prone skin? Thanks so much!
- Asked by Kristen Z
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageThanks for contacting Dermalogica. Zinc oxide is seen to be a great defender in protection against blue light rays. For this reason you may choose Invisible Physical Defense for your specific concerns of combination/acne prone skin, as IPD is also formulated for the most sensitive of skin types!

what is the difference of products with TRx pure light and powerbright spf 50? My bottle does not say TRx even though that is what I thought I ordered.
- Asked by Tasha
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageThank you for contacting Dermalogica. Currently the TRx products are being retired and the updated products are our PowerBright segment. Powerbright Moisturizer SPF50 shields skin against dark spots with a lightweight SPF50, fights skin damaging pollution with brown algae, and balances skin tone with niacinamide. Skin is strengthened and hydrated when applied every morning after toner and serum. This is the equivalent replacement to the Pure Light SPF 50.

The previous formula was great
I was very dissapointed when I learned that the previous formula was discontinued. It was the best moisturizer and make up base for me and had mattifying effect for my oily skin like any other product i have tryed.

Great for my sensitive, combination skin!
I've used Dermologica for a while but have only used the Intensive, Multivitamin, and Recovery moisturizers so far. I've been using this one for 2 weeks now and I've seen a huge difference in my skin tone! The dark spots on my cheeks are completely gone and the ones on my forehead are fading. It goes on great underneath the Skin perfect primer. I've used other sunscreen moisturizers before and they are always very shiny and greasy looking even after putting on make up. This one doesn't have that effect and it makes my skin glow!
worth the splurge!
I have had this product on my wishlist for a long time wondering if it would be worth it. I am happy to report that it is! I am somebody who is extremely prone to hyperpigmentation, like the slightest blemish leaves a lasting mark. I have used this for around a month now and the improvement is phenomenal!! it also smells absolutely heavenly 😍
Didn't work for me
Unfortunately this didn't agree with my sensitive skin. I have eczma and it would make my face and neck itch almost as soon as I put it on. I gave it a fair shot (I didn't want to waste it) but it nevet worked out for me
Glowing Skin
Listen, if you want to have Glowing Skin, no greasy, no oily look, GLOWING skin, this is it. You might find it a little thick and greasy at first, but dont be fooled! its absorbs quickly and the final look its amazing. Perfectly for using it as a primer or just under makeup. Doesn't pill at all !
I really like this moisturizer!
This is my favorite daytime moisturizer. I love the fragrance and that its SPF 50. I would highly recommend!
