Dermalogica Active Moist Face Moisturizer — 1.7 fl oz, Oil-Free Lightweight Hydration for Smoother Texture

Dermalogica Active Moist is a lightweight, oil-free daily lotion that hydrates skin without greasiness while helping smooth texture and reduce surface dehydration.

Designed as an everyday facial moisturizer for both men and women, this 1.7 fl oz formulation delivers sheer, easily absorbed hydration that won't clog pores. The non-greasy texture layers well under sunscreen and makeup and uses silk amino acids plus botanical extracts to support skin smoothness. It’s intended to restore surface moisture and improve how skin feels and looks without adding oil.

How does Active Moist hydrate without feeling heavy?

The lotion uses water-based humectants and silk-derived amino acids to attract and hold moisture on the skin surface rather than relying on oils. That creates a hydrated, soft finish while avoiding the sticky or shiny feel associated with richer creams.

• Oil-free base that reduces pore-clogging risk
• Silk amino acids help retain surface moisture
• Sheer, fast-absorbing consistency for a light finish

Will this moisturizer help improve skin texture?

Regular application smooths the skin’s surface by improving hydration balance and delivering a blend of plant extracts that support a softer, more even feel. It’s formulated to address surface dehydration and the slightly rough or uneven texture that can result.

• Plant extracts contribute to conditioned-feeling skin
• Hydration helps plump minor surface irregularities
• Use morning and night for cumulative improvement

Can I use Active Moist with makeup and sunscreen?

Yes—its lightweight, non-greasy finish makes it an excellent base for sunscreen and cosmetics. The fast absorption minimizes pilling, so products applied afterward sit smoothly and perform as expected.

• Absorbs quickly under sunscreen and makeup
• Leaves a matte-to-natural finish for better product layering
• Small 1.7 fl oz size is travel- and kit-friendly

How often should I apply this lotion?

Apply twice daily—after cleansing in the morning and again at night—for best results. Reapply any time the skin feels dry or tight to maintain surface hydration, especially in dry environments.

• Use AM and PM for consistent hydration
• Reapply as needed when skin feels dehydrated
• Works well with serums and targeted treatments

Who is this for: Dermalogica Active Moist suits anyone seeking a lightweight, oil-free daily moisturizer—particularly people with normal to combination skin or those who prefer a non-greasy base under sunscreen and makeup. It’s a good pick if you want visible smoothing of surface texture and reliable, breathable hydration without heavy emollients. The compact 1.7 fl oz size makes it convenient for travel, gym bags, or testing the formula before committing to a larger container.
