Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance face moisturizer 3.4 fl oz — rich barrier-repair cream for dry to ultra-dry skin

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is a rich, lipid-replenishing face moisturizer designed to restore moisture and strengthen the skin barrier for dry to ultra-dry skin.

Formulated for skin that feels depleted, tight, or flakey, this 3.4 fl oz cream blends retexturizing phytonutrients, antioxidant vitamins, and humectants to help rebalance surface lipids and support resilience. Its dense, nourishing texture absorbs to leave skin feeling conditioned rather than greasy. Packaging may vary, but the core formula targets restoration of moisture and visible comfort for chronically dry complexions.

How does this moisturizer rebuild the skin's moisture balance?

The formula combines barrier lipids and humectants to help replace what dry skin has lost and attract water to the surface. Antioxidant vitamins help protect from environmental stress while phytonutrients smooth and renew texture.

• Contains a proven mix of barrier lipids to support skin resilience
• Humectants draw and hold moisture for lasting comfort
• Phytonutrients help improve skin texture and appearance
• Antioxidants aid in defending skin from daily environmental stress

When and how should I use Intensive Moisture Balance?

Apply morning and evening after cleansing and any targeted serums while skin is slightly damp to lock in hydration. Use a pea-to-nickel-sized amount and smooth evenly over face and neck, concentrating on dry areas.

• Works as a day or night cream for dry to ultra-dry skin types
• Layer over serums or barrier-repair treatments for added hydration
• Can be used under SPF in daytime routines
• Adjust amount to skin condition—more for very dry areas

What skin concerns will this product help with?

Primarily intended to alleviate symptoms of dryness, it helps visibly smooth rough patches and reduce the sensation of tightness. While not a medicated treatment, it supports healthier-looking skin by improving surface moisture and texture.

• Helps soften rough, dehydrated skin
• Reduces tightness by replenishing lipids
• Improves skin feel and surface smoothness over time
• Supports overall barrier performance for better resilience

Is this cream suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

The product is geared toward dry and ultra-dry skin and includes nutrients meant to soothe and recondition the barrier. If you have known sensitivities, patch testing before full-face use is recommended to check tolerance.

• Formulated to nourish and restore dry skin types
• Patch test recommended for highly reactive skin
• Avoid use if irritation occurs and consult a professional

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is designed for people with dry, very dry, or depleted skin who need a richer cream to rebuild lipid balance and improve surface comfort. It's a good choice for those seeking a concentrated moisturizer to use day and night, especially in colder months or in climates that strip moisture. If your skin leans oily or acne-prone, consider lighter gel-cream options from the brand; for everyone else with persistent dryness, this product offers targeted nourishment to help skin feel softer and more resilient.
