Dermalogica BioLumin-C Night Restore Vitamin C Serum 0.85 fl oz — Overnight Hydration & Barrier Repair

BioLumin-C Night Restore is an overnight Vitamin C–powered serum that replenishes moisture, supports the skin barrier, and boosts radiance by morning.

Designed to work while you sleep, Dermalogica's BioLumin-C Night Restore combines an ultra-stable form of Vitamin C with a Pro‑Vitamin D Complex and antioxidant-rich actives to help revive dehydrated, dull skin. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly to deliver hydration and barrier support overnight without a heavy residue, making it suitable for evening skincare routines aimed at long-lasting glow and improved tone.

How does this serum hydrate skin during sleep?

BioLumin-C Night Restore locks in moisture and reduces overnight transepidermal water loss through a blend of humectants and lipid-supporting ingredients. The formula replenishes surface hydration quickly and reinforces barrier function so skin wakes up feeling softer and more supple.

• Ultra-stable Vitamin C delivers brightening and antioxidant support while attracting moisture.
• Pro‑Vitamin D Complex strengthens barrier lipids to retain hydration through the night.
• Lightweight texture absorbs fast, avoiding greasy or sticky residuals on pillowcases.

Will this help restore uneven tone and add radiance?

The concentrated, stabilized Vitamin C contributes to a more luminous look by supporting natural skin processes that influence tone and clarity. Regular nightly use can lead to visibly fresher, more even-looking skin without daytime irritation tied to unstable Vitamin C preparations.

• Stable antioxidant complex reduces appearance of dullness from daily environmental stressors.
• Formulation targets tone and luminosity while you rest, not during daytime sun exposure.
• Non-comedogenic and lightweight for layering under night creams if desired.

How should I include this serum in my evening routine?

After cleansing and toning in the evening, dispense 3–4 drops of the serum and smooth evenly over face and neck. Allow it to absorb fully and follow with your preferred moisturizer or night oil to seal in benefits and support overnight repair.

• Use nightly for consistent results; avoid mixing with unstable actives at once.
• Apply to clean, slightly damp skin for improved absorption.
• Layer with a nourishing cream if your skin needs extra occlusion overnight.

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or barrier‑compromised skin?

The formulation focuses on barrier support and gentle antioxidant protection, making it approachable for many skin types. If you have highly reactive or clinically compromised skin, introduce the serum gradually and patch‑test to check tolerance with other actives.

• Pro‑Vitamin D Complex works to support barrier resilience rather than strip moisture.
• Start with every-other-night use if you have reactive skin, then increase as tolerated.
• Consult a skincare professional for severe sensitivity or medical concerns.

Who is this for: Dermalogica BioLumin-C Night Restore suits anyone seeking an effective evening serum to boost overnight hydration, support barrier recovery, and improve skin luminosity. It is ideal for those with dull, dehydrated, or uneven-toned skin who prefer a lightweight, easily layered product in their nighttime routine. Those with very reactive or medically compromised skin should patch-test and consult a professional prior to regular use.
