Dermalogica Pro Collagen Banking Water Cream 1.7 oz – Peptide Hydrating Gel-Cream for Firmness

Dermalogica Pro Collagen Banking Water Cream is an intensely hydrating, peptide-rich water cream that helps plump skin and supports collagen and elastin to preserve firmness and resilience.

This lightweight, fast-absorbing cream uses a mineral-rich marine spring water base and a targeted peptide complex to deliver hydration and antioxidant support deep into the skin. Formulated to work on dry, dehydrated, and prematurely aging skin, it layers easily with serums and sunscreen and is free of parabens, artificial fragrances, and animal testing. The texture gives a refreshing, water-burst sensation while key botanicals and biofermented extracts help shore up the skin’s moisture-holding systems.

How does this cream hydrate without feeling heavy?

The formula relies on Water-Burst Deep Hydration Technology and humectant-rich ingredients that activate on contact, delivering moisture without a greasy finish. Jojoba esters and biofermented radish root help lock in water while the cream remains lightweight on the skin.

• Mineral-rich marine spring water for instant hydration
• Humectants and jojoba esters to retain moisture
• Non-greasy, quick-absorbing water-cream texture
• Suitable for layering under makeup and sunscreen

What ingredients help preserve collagen and improve firmness?

A focused peptide complex includes collagen amino acids, zinc glycinate, and carnosine dipeptide to support the skin’s structural proteins and neutralize oxidative stress. Complementary botanicals like extremophilic red algae and white clover provide visible firming and smoothing benefits.

• Peptide complex with collagen amino acids for structural support
• Zinc glycinate and carnosine dipeptide to counter oxidative damage
• Red algae and white clover for visible firming and smoothness
• Biofermented extracts to strengthen the skin barrier

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

Apply 1–2 pumps onto clean skin after cleansing and any water-based serums. For improved absorption, apply while skin is still slightly damp; use morning and night as your moisturizing step and follow with sunscreen in the daytime.

• Smooth 1–2 pumps onto face and neck
• Apply over damp skin or after serums for better penetration
• Use morning and evening; layer sunscreen during the day
• Works well with serums and lightweight oils

Is this product appropriate for sensitive or cruelty-free routines?

The formula is free of artificial fragrances and parabens and is vegan and cruelty-free, making it suitable for many clean-beauty routines. While designed to be gentle, patch testing is recommended if you have very reactive skin or sensitivities to active botanicals.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• No artificial fragrance and paraben-free
• Gentle water-cream texture for most skin types
• Patch test recommended for sensitized skin
