Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow Facial Cleanser — 5.1 fl oz hydrating mucin cream with hyaluronic acid and glycerin

This creamy, hydrating cleanser uses Cellular HydraBond technology with positively charged hyaluronic acid to attract and help retain moisture while gently removing impurities. Murumuru butter, oat amino acids and a Phyto Mucin Blend work together to soften skin and support barrier lipids; the formula rinses easily so skin feels clean but not stripped. Designed for daily use, it aims to leave a dewy, refreshed finish that helps downstream products absorb more effectively.

How does this cleanser boost hydration without leaving residue?

The Magnetic AfterGlow cleanser includes a positively charged form of hyaluronic acid that enhances moisture retention at the skin surface while cleansing. Lightweight mucin-like botanicals and glycerin pull and hold water, and emollients like jojoba esters ensure the formula rinses clean rather than sitting heavy on skin.

• Cellular HydraBond tech with charged hyaluronic acid for moisture attraction
• 10% glycerin and Phyto Mucin Blend to bind water
• Murumuru butter and jojoba ester soften without oily residue
• Rinses away to leave skin balanced for serums and moisturizers

What key ingredients support skin barrier and softness?

The formula combines specialty fatty acids, murumuru seed butter and oat-derived amino acids to support the skin’s hydrolipidic film and help reduce transepidermal water loss. These components work in tandem to maintain suppleness while gentle surfactants clear away dirt and makeup.

• Specialized fatty acids to assist natural ceramide function
• Murumuru butter for emollience and a silk-like texture
• Oat amino acids to soothe and soften the skin surface
• Phyto Mucin Blend including lotus root extract for hydration support

How should I use Magnetic AfterGlow in my skincare routine?

Apply to damp skin morning and night, massaging gently to dissolve impurities and allow the humectant blend to engage. Rinse thoroughly and follow with targeted serums and moisturizers; consistent use helps create an optimally hydrated base for active treatments.

• Use on damp skin to maximize spreadability and efficacy
• Massage for 30–60 seconds to lift makeup and sebum
• Rinse completely with lukewarm water and pat dry
• Follow with toner/serum/moisturizer while skin is slightly damp

Will this cleanser work for sensitive or combination skin?

The formula is crafted to be gentle while delivering moisture; oat amino acids and non-irritating emollients help soothe most skin types. If you have specific sensitivities or active conditions, patch-test first or consult a skincare professional to ensure compatibility.

• Gentle surfactant system suitable for many skin types
• Soothing oat-derived ingredients reduce potential irritation
• Hydrating humectants support dry areas without over-oiling
• Patch testing advised for very reactive skin

Who is this for: Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow Facial Cleanser is ideal for anyone who wants a creamy, hydrating daily cleanser that prepares skin for serums and moisturizers—especially those with normal, dry, combination, or dehydrated skin seeking added moisture during cleansing. It suits users looking to maintain barrier health while removing makeup and environmental impurities without a tight or stripped feeling.
