Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance face moisturizer 0.5 fl oz — rich hyaluronic barrier-repair cream for dry, dehydrated skin

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is an ultra-nourishing facial moisturizer formulated to replenish lipids and deeply hydrate dry, depleted skin.

This concentrated 0.5 fl oz treatment blends restorative barrier lipids and hydrating ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, to support skin’s natural moisture retention and comfort. It’s designed for skin that looks and feels parched or tight and seeks a richer, long-lasting cream that layers well under sunscreen or night treatments. The formula emphasizes barrier support and antioxidant protection while delivering an instantly comforting, velvety texture.

How does this moisturizer rebuild a weakened moisture barrier?

The cream supplies a targeted mix of skin-identical lipids and nourishing emollients that mimic the skin’s natural barrier components. These ingredients help fill gaps in the lipid matrix so moisture loss is reduced and skin displays improved resilience over time.

• Proven barrier lipids to replenish deficient skin fats
• Emollients that smooth and seal to reduce transepidermal water loss
• Hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture within the epidermis

What texture and finish should I expect during application?

Intensive Moisture Balance has an ultra-rich, creamy texture that melts into dry skin without feeling greasy. It leaves a soft, dewy finish that helps makeup sit evenly and makes subsequent products glide on smoothly.

• Luxurious, velvety cream that spreads easily
• Non-greasy absorption for daytime layering or nighttime sealing
• Instant nourishing feel with long-lasting comfort

Can this be used with active treatments and serums?

The formulation is compatible with most serums and targeted treatments; apply lighter serums first, then seal with this richer cream. Its supportive lipid profile helps lock in the benefits of concentrated actives applied beforehand.

• Apply serum first, then this moisturizer to lock in hydration
• Works under sunscreen for daytime protection routines
• Effective as a final step in evening regimens for overnight repair

Which skin types and conditions benefit most from this product?

This cream is tailored for dry, dehydrated, or environmentally stressed skin that needs immediate comfort and longer-term barrier reinforcement. While particularly helpful for dry skin, those with normal or combination skin who want a richer option during cold or dry seasons can also use it.

• Ideal for dry and depleted skin needing intensive nourishment
• Suitable for seasonal use when skin barrier is compromised
• Small travel-friendly 0.5 fl oz size for trial or travel convenience

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is chosen by people whose skin feels tight, flaky, or thirsty and who want a scientifically informed cream that restores lipid balance and lasting comfort. It’s a practical pick for anyone seeking a compact, travel-ready moisturizer that supports barrier health while working seamlessly with serums, sunscreen, and makeup.
