Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance Jumbo 5.1 oz Face Moisturizer — Hyaluronic Acid & Barrier-Replenishing Cream

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

This intensive cream combines replenishing barrier lipids, humectant hyaluronic acid, and a prebiotic algae complex to recondition thirsty skin. Formulated to soothe dryness while supporting the skin’s natural protective layer, it’s designed for daily use morning and night when deep conditioning and resilience are priorities. The jumbo 5.1 oz size gives extra value for regular use on face and neck.

How does this moisturizer restore a dry skin barrier?

The formulation supplies a targeted mix of barrier-supporting lipids that mimic skin’s natural oils, helping to refill depleted lipid stores and improve barrier function. Over time this helps reduce transepidermal water loss and leaves skin feeling softer and more comfortable.

• BioReplenish Complex replenishes essential lipids similar to skin’s own.
• Omega-style lipids help fortify the outer layer for improved protection.
• Regular use reduces tightness associated with dehydration.

What active ingredients deliver hydration and smoothing benefits?

Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture in the skin, plumping fine lines and improving surface texture. Supportive botanicals and gentle acids help soothe and exfoliate lightly, promoting a smoother, more radiant appearance without stripping moisture.

• Hyaluronic acid binds water to skin for visible plumping.
• Aloe vera calms and conditions dry areas.
• Lactic acid contributes mild surface renewal for improved tone.

How should I include this cream in my daily skincare routine?

Use after cleansing and any liquid treatment or toner, applying a moderate amount to face and neck. Massage upward using light strokes until fully absorbed; it works well under SPF in the morning and as the final step in evening skincare.

• Apply morning and night for consistent barrier support.
• Layer under sunscreen for daytime protection.
• Use more sparingly if skin feels balanced to avoid heaviness.

Will this product suit sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The blend focuses on replenishing lipids and reducing dryness, which can benefit many sensitive types, but because it’s a richer cream, those prone to breakouts should patch-test first. The prebiotic algae and calming botanicals aim to support a healthy skin ecosystem without harsh irritation.

• Prebiotic Chlorella algae helps rebalance the skin’s surface.
• Non-irritating soothing agents like aloe support comfort.
• Patch-test if you have active acne or highly reactive skin.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance Jumbo is intended for people with dry, depleted, or environmentally stressed skin seeking a substantial yet modern moisturizer. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to rebuild lipid levels and maintain lasting hydration—especially those who prefer a generous jar size for daily face and neck care. If you need a lighter, oil-free texture, consider alternating with lighter serums or lotions.
