Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream face moisturizer — 1.7 fl oz, 48-hour hydration with Vitamins C & E

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream is a daily facial moisturizer that delivers up to 48 hours of continuous hydration while helping shield skin from environmental stressors with antioxidant-rich Vitamins C and E.

Lightweight yet nourishing, this best-selling cream uses an advanced hydrating complex to lock in moisture, reduce trans-epidermal water loss, and support a smoother texture and improved elasticity. Fast-absorbing and suitable for most skin types, it combines hyaluronic acid derivatives, grape seed extract, and antioxidants to hydrate, protect, and brighten without heavy residue.

How does this cream keep skin hydrated for 48 hours?

The formula uses Active HydraMesh Technology and a dynamic hyaluronic acid complex to bind and distribute moisture across the skin’s surface and deeper layers. By forming a lightweight moisture network, it helps minimize water loss so hydration lasts longer between applications.

• Active HydraMesh Technology creates a moisture-retaining network.
• Hyaluronic acid complex holds and disperses moisture throughout the skin.
• Reduces trans-epidermal water loss to extend hydration duration.

Will it help protect skin from environmental stress and pollution?

This cream includes antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and grape seed extract to neutralize free radicals and support the skin’s natural barrier. It also helps preserve the microbiome balance, reducing the impact of environmental aggressors without relying on heavy occlusives.

• Vitamin C and E provide antioxidant protection and radiance support.
• Grape seed extract helps defend against environmental damage.
• Formulation supports microbiome resilience for healthier-looking skin.

How does it affect fine lines, texture, and elasticity?

By sustaining moisture levels and improving skin elasticity, the moisturizer can soften the appearance of fine lines and contribute to a smoother texture over time. Hydration plumps skin, while antioxidant and barrier-support ingredients help maintain structural resilience.

• Hydration plumps and smooths fine lines and surface texture.
• Elasticity-promoting ingredients support firmer, more springy skin.
• Regular use helps maintain a softer, more even complexion.

How should I use Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream in my routine?

Apply to clean, toned skin morning and evening. Use a small amount and smooth over face and neck, following serums or treatments; reapply as needed for extra dry areas or throughout the day for added comfort.

• Morning and evening on clean, prepped skin after serums.
• A little goes a long way—dot and blend across face and neck.
• Reapply to particularly dry spots or after environmental exposure.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream is ideal for someone seeking a daily, non-greasy moisturizer that both hydrates long-term and provides antioxidant environmental support. It's well-suited to normal, combination, and mildly dry skin types who want improved texture, sustained moisture, and a brighter-looking complexion without heavy weight.
