Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance moisturizer 3.4 oz — rich hydration with hyaluronic acid for dry skin

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is an ultra-nourishing face moisturizer designed to replenish lipids and hydrate very dry, depleted skin for improved barrier performance.

This rich, restorative cream combines moisture-binding ingredients and barrier-supporting lipids to replenish thirsty skin while helping to defend against environmental stressors. Formulated for dry to ultra-dry complexions, it pairs hydrating humectants with retexturizing phytonutrients and antioxidant vitamins to leave skin feeling smoother, more resilient, and visibly replenished.

How does this cream replenish dry, depleted skin?

Intensive Moisture Balance restores the skin's outer lipid layer while holding water inside the skin with humectants such as hyaluronic acid. At the same time, supporting nutrients help soften texture so skin looks and feels less tight and flaky.

• Delivers barrier lipids that help refill the skin’s protective layer
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture for plumper-looking skin
• Phytonutrients and antioxidant vitamins help soothe and improve surface texture

When should I use Intensive Moisture Balance in my skincare routine?

Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and treating (serums, ampoules) and before sunscreen in the morning, or as the final hydrating step at night. Because it's rich but sinks in well, it's suitable for daytime use when heavier hydration is needed.

• Use morning and evening on cleansed skin
• Layer over serums or targeted treatments for added moisture
• Finish your morning routine with sunscreen after application

What texture and finish can I expect on the skin?

The formula has a luxurious, creamy texture that feels comforting on contact yet absorbs to a non-greasy finish. It leaves skin soft to the touch with a subtle, healthy-looking sheen rather than heavy residue.

• Rich, emollient cream that melts into skin
• Non-oily finish suitable for layered routines
• Helps smooth rough or flaky patches for an even look

Which skin concerns does this product address most effectively?

Designed specifically for dry to ultra-dry skin, this moisturizer targets lipid depletion, surface dryness, and texture irregularities. It supports the skin’s moisture-retention ability and helps protect against environmental stress that can worsen dryness.

• Replenishes moisture and lipids in dry, compromised skin
• Improves skin resiliency and surface softness
• Suitable for seasonal dryness and chronically dehydrated skin types

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is aimed at anyone with dry, very dry, or depleted skin seeking a concentrated moisture treatment that rebuilds the skin’s lipid barrier and improves texture. If your skin feels tight, rough, or flaky and needs a dependable, nourishing cream to restore comfort and resilience, this formula is built to deliver sustained hydration and a smoother look.
