Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow Facial Cleanser 5.1 fl oz — Hydrating cream-to-milk cleanser with hyaluronic acid & murumuru butter

Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow is a moisture-bonding cleansing cream formulated with positively charged hyaluronic acid and a phyto-mucin blend to gently cleanse while boosting skin hydration and radiance.

This luxurious cream-to-milk cleanser is designed to remove impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture. Using Cellular HydraBond technology, the formula pairs hyaluronic acid with murumuru butter, oat amino acids and a glycerin-rich phyto mucin complex to support moisture retention and a smoother, healthier-looking surface after each use. It’s meant to prep skin for serums and moisturizers by maintaining the hydrolipidic film and reducing transient water loss.

How does this cleanser hydrate while it cleans?

The Magnetic AfterGlow uses a positively charged form of hyaluronic acid that helps draw and hold moisture close to the skin, rather than simply rinsing it away. Complementary emollients like murumuru butter and jojoba esters leave skin feeling soft, not tight.

• Cellular HydraBond tech with positively charged hyaluronic acid to attract moisture
• 10% glycerin in a phyto-mucin blend to improve hydration retention
• Murumuru butter and oat amino acids soften and gently dissolve impurities
• Specialized fatty acids to support natural barrier lipids

Will it remove makeup and impurities effectively?

Yes — the creamy texture breaks down light-to-moderate makeup and surface grime while maintaining skin’s moisture. It does best as a single-step cream cleanser or as the second step in a double-cleanse for heavier makeup.

• Cream-to-milk action dissolves sebum and daily pollutants
• Mild surfactancy avoids over-stripping skin’s protective film
• Rinses clean with a soft, non-tight finish

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Apply to damp skin, massage gently to emulsify and lift impurities, then rinse thoroughly. Use morning and night; follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer to lock in the hydration the cleanser helps preserve.

• Use on damp skin for easiest emulsification
• Massage for 30–60 seconds to dissolve makeup and impurities
• Rinse and follow with targeted treatments while skin is hydrated

Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin types?

The formula leans hydrating and barrier-supportive, making it appropriate for dry and many sensitive skin concerns that tolerate gentle emollients. If you have specific reactive conditions, patch testing or consulting a skincare professional is recommended.

• Hydrating actives reduce transient water loss and soften texture
• Gentle surfactants and nourishing esters minimize irritation risk
• Formulated to support ceramide production via fatty acid content
