- Q
Do I have to use this product with a Dermalogica serum for the full effect or is it good alone?
- Asked by Claire
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. Skin-smoothing cream can be used alone or with a serum, depending on your skincare goals and preferences. Here's a breakdown to help you decide: Using Cream Alone Simplicity: Ideal if you want a straightforward routine. Hydration: Provides adequate moisturization and smoothing benefits for normal skin types. Using Cream with a Serum Enhanced Results: Serums are concentrated with active ingredients (e.g., vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or retinol) and can target specific skin concerns like fine lines, dark spots, or dehydration. Layering Benefits: The serum works on deeper layers of the skin, while the cream provides surface hydration and locks in the serum's benefits. Customization: Allows you to tailor your skincare routine to your skin's changing needs. Best Wishes, The Dermalogica TeamWas this answer helpful to you

Hello, I am 59 and have dry skin. not flaky dry though. I am wondering if I need the skin smoothing cream or intensive moisture balance. Thank you. Karen
- Asked by Karen
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageThanks for contacting Dermalogica. Both are great options for drier skin types. If you feel your skin is intensely dry, Intensive Moisture Balance would be the best option. Best Wishes, Dermalogica Team.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Why would I use this in comparison to your "intensive moisture balance". They seem very similar. Why is one different/better than the other?
- Asked by adrianne
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica! Skin Smoothing Cream is best for dry/dehydrated skin as it provides 48 hours of continuous hydration and protects against environmental stress. Intensive Moisture Balance is best for dry/very dry skin skin as it trengthens the skin's lipid barrier, helps rebalance the skin's microbiome, and intensely moisturizes dry, depleted skin.

I love it but... HORRIBLE breakouts!
I love this product. It made my skin feel so enriched and smooth. BUT!!! It made me break out worse than when I was a teenager! Even a month after switching back to my regular moisturizer, my skin hasn't gone back to how it was before. It's horrible! So even though I love the product, I can not use ...

Dermalogica, you shoukd be ashamed. Your proce has consustently increased i er the last decade, doubling since I began using it. Why?

great product works well on combo skin
Highly recommend
Reviewed at

Skin smoothing cream moisturizer is one of the best I've used. It's very light-weight, absorbs fast and moisturizes well. I use it every morning and evening after clenser, toner and a serum. I like that it's neither sticky nor oily, and it works well under sunscreen. I like that it's rather thin, as I find the other, richer ones, harder to apply. I have a sensitive combination skin that has become dry with age, and I haven't had any issues with this product. I have repurchased it twice.
