Dermalogica Active Moist lightweight oil-free face moisturizer 3.4 fl oz — fast-absorbing, improves texture

Dermalogica Active Moist is a lightweight, oil-free daily lotion that hydrates skin, improves surface texture, and absorbs quickly without clogging pores.

Designed for everyday use, this non-greasy moisturizer combines silk amino acids and plant extracts to smooth skin and restore lightweight hydration where it's needed most. The formula delivers immediate moisture while keeping a breathable finish, making it easy to layer under sunscreen and makeup. Packaging may vary, and best results often come when applying over a toner like Multi-Active Toner to help the lotion penetrate evenly.

How does this moisturizer work for combination or oily skin?

Active Moist offers hydration without adding surface oil, helping balance areas that need moisture while avoiding a heavy or pore-clogging finish. Its oil-free composition and fast-absorbing texture keep the skin feeling fresh and matte in the T-zone while still hydrating drier patches.

• Oil-free lotion that reduces greasy shine;
• Silk amino acids to enhance smoothness and tactile feel;
• Lightweight finish suitable for layering under makeup;
• Absorbs quickly, minimizing midday touch-ups.

Will this moisturizer improve skin texture and surface hydration?

The product is formulated with ingredients that support a smoother surface and help retain moisture on the outer layers of skin. Regular use contributes to a softer, more refined complexion by addressing surface dehydration and roughness.

• Plant extracts target surface irregularities for a refined look;
• Silk amino acids help skin feel silkier and smoother to the touch;
• Provides immediate, lightweight moisture to relieve visible dryness;
• Non-comedogenic profile limits the risk of pore congestion.

How should I include Active Moist in my daily routine?

Apply after cleansing and any lightweight toners or serums, using a small amount spread evenly across the face and throat. Because it layers well and dries down quickly, it’s convenient for morning routines beneath SPF and makeup or as a simple evening hydrator.

• Use post-cleanse and after Multi-Active Toner for better absorption;
• Apply a pea-sized amount and massage until absorbed;
• Layer sunscreen in the morning over the moisturizer;
• Suitable for daily AM and PM use depending on needs.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin and does it clog pores?

Formulated to be oil-free and lightweight, Active Moist is created to minimize pore congestion and is generally suitable for many sensitive or reactive skin types. As with any skincare product, perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities and introduce it gradually.

• Non-greasy, non-comedogenic formulation;
• Gentle silk amino acids and plant extracts for texture support;
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive skin;
• Suitable for both men and women as daily hydration.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Active Moist is ideal for people seeking a breathable, oil-free daily moisturizer—especially those with combination, oily, or normal skin that still needs reliable surface hydration and improved texture. It works well for anyone who wants a lightweight base under sunscreen or makeup and prefers a fast-absorbing, non-greasy finish.
