Active Moist Moisturizer, Lightweight Daily Lotion

Have used Dermalogica Active Moisturizer for years. Still helps my facial skin despite aging . Perfect for use with or without foundation.

After years of searching I have found the perfect moisturizer for my crazy sensitive combination face. I know the Dermalogica website recommends having your face mapped to pick the right products for you but I had a gift card and this moisturizer got really good reviews so I figured I would give it a shot. First and foremost it has a nice, light smell. It's not overly chemical nor is it overly fruity/musky/earthy. It's barely noticeable when you first apply it. Second, it may be a bit pricey but a little truly goes a long way. I use a penny to nickel sized amount(depending on the oily patch to dry skin ratio)I got a 3.4 oz tube about a month ago and the end is no where in sight. Third, it's just heavy enough to really feel like your skin is getting nice and moisturized but just light enough to leave a soft and smooth finish. Best of all it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy. I have very weird skin. It's sensitive and prone to redness so a lot of products are too harsh. I tend to buy natural based products because they are free of the chemicals that really irritate my skin BUT I often find they don't clean as well and I end up with a lot of acne in my T zone. The sides of my forehead, nose and cheek line are prone to dryness and sometimes flaking. So it's really hard finding a product that combats oiliness, dryness, prevents irritation, keeps my skin moisturized, AND doesn't make me break out. Despite the price I will definitely be sticking with this product and I look forward to trying other Dermalogica products.

great product for the skin

I have been using this moisturizer for over 2 years now. I first came across this product with I purchased a set for normal/oily skin (face wash, moisturizer, toner and mask). Out of all the products, the only one I continue to use is the moisturizer. I have to be cautious with the products I use on my face because I am prone to breaking out very easily. After using it moisturizes my face without an oily feeling and doesn't create pumps on my face. It is just the right amount of moisture for my face. Before this I used to use a moisturizer with spf made in Australia, but my face seemed oily and after awhile I started to notice pumps on my face. The only thing is that it doesn't have spf included, but for spf I use Eucerin Sensitive (recommended by my dermatologist) on top of the active moist and I am good to go. With both I do not get an oily feeling. I do feel that this is pricey, but if you can find on amazon at $30 for 3.4 fl oz. then that is a deal. It also lasts about 6 months (pea size, no need to use more).

I like the cream and used for many years.

This product is great for oily skin. It doesn't prevent the shine we oilers get a few hours into the day, but it does prevent flaky skin in the winter, and moisturizes well. Does not feel heavy at all either. For reference I have used Aveeno (several versions including age-defense), Jack Black daily (not the oil control, which is good for spot treatment but a terrible idea as an every day face lotion), Oil of Olay rejuvenate and Clinique Men M lotion. The original aveeno age defense was my favorite but they changed it and messed it up completely. Won't go back. Oil of Olay has a great feel but brings out my oils a little more around mid-day. Jack Black is good, but only good in the moisturizing and oil mitigations categories, the two I care most about. This product and Clinique are probably tied right now, and this one gives more bang for the buck, so I will continue using it, maybe switching off every few bottles to compare. M lotion seems to be equal in moisture, slightly less efficient at preventing the oil at mid-day, and slightly better frangrance, which brings me to the only knock, and the reason for the 4 star rating. Dermalogica has a slightly medicinal smell when applying. I have never gotten a whiff of it after it's on, but it's not scented, which may be a good thing if you are looking for a more pure product. Anyway until someone tells me my face smells funny, I will continue to use Dermalogica with confidence.

It amazing product

Love the Dermalogica line of products. Pricey, but very effective!! Stop wasting money on other facial moisturizers this is the one.

Suits my skin well. No irritation or pimple oroblem after using it.

Die Creme fühlt sich perfekt auf der Haut an – sehr leicht und angenehm! Sie zieht schnell ein und hinterlässt ein frisches Gefühl. Ich bin total zufrieden und kann sie nur weiterempfehlen.

Love this smells Amazing too!

It’s a great facial cream

Unfortunately I can't work out how to contact the seller without requesting a refund, but I would like my product to be replaced. I've been using this Moisturiser for over 5 years and this is the first time it's been watery. I've tried to shake it to see if it will thicken but nothing has changed. I'm really confused because I feel this is a genuine product but maybe it's a bad batch? I'd like for it to be replaced because I need a new Moisturiser otherwise I'll be left without.
