Intensive Moisture Balance - Nourishing Antioxidant Cream

A MUST HAVE

After using this product over the past few weeks, I am loving the results! It has helped keep my dry skin feeling hydrated. Application is easy, and the formula is AMAZING

Buying the full size after the trial

I used points to purchase the mini size of this and am I ever glad I did!! My dry, sensitive, acne prone skin loves this stuff. After using it for a few days, my skin was smoother, noticeably plumper and my irritated red patches seemed soothed and less visible. Not in a million years would I have thought to try this moisturizer otherwise, dermalogica has some questionable ingredients in some of their other products, however this product has a solid ingredient list. I especially love that it contains lactic acid, a gentle exfoliant and humectant that I know from experience my skin loves. The smell reminds me of a medical ointment, but fades after a few minutes. Here I am buying the full size after finishing up the mini!

Rich but not heavy

Does what it says in the blurb. Beautiful rich moisturiser which sinks in quickly and isn’t greasy or clogging; I have very acne prone but dry and aging skin which is really hard to find moisturiser for and this has been a dream.

Too thick! Better moisturizers out there for cheaper

Great for winter

This is currently my go to moisturizer because my skins been so dry due to the cold climate. It tends to keep my face feeling moisturized but I sometimes have to reapply depending on the day

Win for me

I have very sensitive skin and this hasn’t seemed to break me out. Yes it does smell a bit strange almost like pencil shavings? but it goes away after sinking into the skin Skin

10/10 would purchase! So good for Canadian winters

I got a sample and have been using it for 2 weeks and my skin hasn’t looked better! It’s soft, plump, calmed areas where I was breaking out. And It doesn’t smell that bad, it smells like a medical cream and the smell goes away once it’s on your face.

DISGUSTING Scent

Thank goodness this was something I used points to get. I don't care whether this ends up being a nice moisturizer or not...the smell is so revolting I can't handle it. Opened it & applied it to my face & was hit with the scent. Reminds me of paint thinner or something. Don't waste your money. I know I won't be. Yuck!

received a tiny sample using points. nothing special for the price and smells absolutely awful. Not in a fragrance/perfume-y way...more like propane.

Smell is not it

I gave it 2 because I couldn’t stand the smell long enough to see results. I can’t even describe it. Thankfully I got a sample and didn’t purchase otherwise it would be a hard no.

Smells awful

I got a mini version of this with points and I’m glad I didn’t spend money on this. I only just put it on and it smells like something between paint thinner and gasoline. I had to spray perfume to mask the smell before ultimately washing it off. I can’t speak to how the product itself works as the smell itself was *that* offensive - and I’m not usually picky about these things!

Added to my routine!!

Accidentally bought this when I meant to buy something else from Dermalogica and it's great! Very moisturizing and great for sensitive skin. I use this during the day when I stay indoors. It doesn't give me oily skin either, and I'm combo skin-type.
