Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance face moisturizer Jumbo 5.1 oz — rich hydration with hyaluronic acid & barrier lipids

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is a rich, lipid-replenishing face moisturizer formulated to restore moisture and reinforce the skin barrier for dry, depleted skin.

This intensive cream combines barrier lipids, hyaluronic acid and a prebiotic algae complex to help revive skin that feels tight, flaky or visibly stressed by environmental and seasonal factors. Designed for daily use, it targets lipid loss and moisture depletion to leave skin feeling softer, more supple and better able to retain hydration. The jumbo 5.1 oz size is ideal for at-home use or professional treatment rooms where sustained supply is helpful.

How does this moisturizer rebuild a weakened skin barrier?

The formula delivers a blend of essential barrier lipids that mimic the skin's natural oils, supporting lipid replenishment and structural integrity. Regular application helps reduce transepidermal water loss while soothing dryness and sensitivity.

• BioReplenish Complex supplies essential lipids to imitate skin’s natural barrier.
• Prebiotic Chlorella Algae supports a balanced skin microbiome.
• Emollients and humectants create a protective surface layer to lock in moisture.

What active ingredients restore hydration and texture?

Hyaluronic acid draws and holds water within the skin, plumping fine lines and creating a dewy feel. Supporting botanicals like aloe vera calm and condition, while lactic acid helps gently refine texture and brightness without over-drying.

• Hyaluronic Acid for sustained water retention and visible plumping.
• Aloe Vera for soothing hydration and immediate comfort.
• Lactic Acid to promote gentle exfoliation and smoother texture.

When and how should I use the jumbo 5.1 oz version?

Use morning and evening after cleansing and toning to maintain consistent moisture levels. The larger jar lengthens your supply and is practical for an established skincare routine or multiple users in a household or studio.

• Apply a small amount to face and neck using upward, smoothing strokes.
• Layer over serums—ideal after hydrating serums and before sunscreen in the morning.
• Suitable for nightly restorative routines to support daytime barrier function.

Will this cream work for skin prone to sensitivity or dehydration?

Formulated to rebalance lipids and calm stressed skin, it is suitable for dry and dehydrated skin types, including those that experience sensitivity from barrier compromise. The prebiotic and botanical blend aims to nurture the skin’s ecosystem while minimizing irritation when used as directed.

• Prebiotic Chlorella Algae helps maintain a healthy skin microbiome.
• Non-irritating hydrators reduce tightness without harsh stripping.
• Test a small area first if you have reactive skin or specific allergies.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance Jumbo 5.1 oz is intended for people with dry, dehydrated or lipid-depleted skin looking for a potent daily cream that supports barrier recovery and long-lasting hydration. It’s well suited to those wanting a roomy jar for home use, practitioners needing larger supply for treatments, or anyone whose skin requires sustained nourishment through seasonal changes.
