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.

- Asked by Dojo
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. We have 2 products that feature tint. Skin Perfect Primer SPF 30 works to Smooth fine lines, brighten and prime for flawless skin, and prep for make-up application.

Sums up just what I need!
One day I made the brave decision to actually invest my money in good skincare products. After spending days upon days of researching great skin care products that are affordable, Dermalogica came to my rescue. I was done and tired of emptying out my wallet so many times for continuous drugstore pro...

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 ...

STRONG chemical smell
I have sensitive irrirated skin and while this moisturizer keeps my skin soft and hydrated, it smells disgusting. It has a very strong chemical odor. It also burns slightly on my skin. The product is expensive, and it's supposed to be made of quality ingredients; this is frustrating to say the least. Especially since so many people recommend this brand.
Nah
I was so hopeful for this with my dry skin. Sadly, it leaves me so greasy and shiny. The chemical smell is awful.
Yes, I would buy this again
I have used this product for more than 20 years. And I love it. I wish they would start reproducing their other excellent product, Intensive Eye Repair
Everytime I try to break up with Dermalogica
I come running back once I start using actives! Worth the money on a per ounce basis when compared to many drug store brands and consistently works well with my skin, especially when on retinol. And I love that they have two other weights of moisturizers for when I'm not testing my skin barriers last nerve!
Perfect
Lovr this stuff. Loggteright but actually moisturizes. Would buy again
