Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Cleanser hydrating face wash 5.1 fl oz — creamy, non-stripping

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Cleanser is a creamy, hydrating face wash that removes dirt and makeup while replenishing moisture for drier, depleted skin types.

This lightweight yet nourishing cleanser uses Dermalogica's BioReplenish Complex to help cleanse without stripping natural oils, leaving skin feeling smoother, softer and with a more luminous appearance. It rinses away easily and targets the common aftermath of dry skin—tightness and dullness—by supporting the skin’s surface lipids and hydration balance during and after cleansing.

How does this cleanser hydrate without leaving a residue?

The formula balances effective cleansing agents with emollients so impurities lift away while moisture-supporting ingredients remain. It rinses clean rather than feeling oily because it’s designed to dissolve dirt and make-up but maintain a comfortable skin film that reduces post-wash tightness.

• Light cream texture that emulsifies with water for thorough removal
• BioReplenish Complex supports skin’s natural lipids for lasting softness
• Rinses easily to avoid a heavy or filmy finish

Will it help sensitive or easily irritated dry skin?

The gentle base and hydrating actives make it suitable for many with sensitivity or dryness, provided you avoid ingredients you personally react to. It focuses on comfort by defending against moisture loss and calming the sensation of tautness after washing.

• Non-aggressive surfactants to reduce irritation risk
• Soothing emollients to ease post-cleanse tightness
• Formulated to support the skin’s resilience rather than strip it

How should I use it in my daily skincare routine?

Use morning and evening as the first step in your regimen. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently to lift oils and impurities, then rinse thoroughly and follow with toner, serum and moisturizer to lock in hydration.

• Apply to damp skin for best emulsification
• Rinse completely with lukewarm water
• Follow with hydrating serum and moisturizer to maximize benefits

What immediate benefits can I expect after cleansing?

After rinsing, skin typically feels softer and less tight, with a smoother surface and a subtle radiance. Repeated use supports a more resilient skin feel and helps maintain an even, hydrated complexion over time.

• Cleaner skin without dryness or tightness
• Softer texture and improved skin comfort
• Enhanced natural luminosity after regular use

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Cleanser is best suited for people with dry, dehydrated or easily sensitized skin looking for a dependable daily face wash that cleans effectively while preserving moisture. It’s also a good choice for those who prefer a cream cleanser that rinses clean, supports skin barrier resilience, and pairs well with serums and moisturizers in a hydrating skincare routine.
