Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance face moisturizer, Jumbo 5.1 oz — rich hydration with hyaluronic acid & BioReplenish Complex

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is a rich, lipid-replenishing face moisturizer that restores moisture and supports a healthy skin barrier for dry, depleted skin.

This intensely hydrating cream combines a targeted blend of barrier lipids, humectants, and nourishing botanicals to revive skin that feels tight, flaky, or depleted. The formula—centered on Dermalogica’s BioReplenish Complex plus hyaluronic acid, chlorella-derived prebiotics, aloe vera, and lactic acid—aims to replenish lipids, retain moisture, and leave skin feeling softer and more resilient. Packaged in a jumbo 5.1 oz size, it’s designed for daily morning and evening use and for those who prefer a longer-lasting supply.

How does this moisturizer restore skin’s lipid balance?

The product delivers a proven combination of barrier lipids that mimic the skin’s natural oils to replenish what’s been lost through aging, environmental stress, or aggressive skincare. By reintroducing these lipids, the cream supports the barrier’s natural function, helping skin hold onto moisture and resist irritation.

• Includes BioReplenish Complex to supply essential lipids
• Rich emollients smooth and soften dry patches
• Formulation complements the skin’s natural barrier structure

Will it hydrate and plump dry, fine-lined skin?

Yes—hyaluronic acid in the formula acts as an effective humectant to attract and retain water in the skin, contributing to a visibly smoother surface. Lactic acid and aloe vera further condition and soothe, helping to improve texture and the appearance of fine lines without heavy occlusion.

• Hyaluronic acid pulls in moisture for immediate plumping
• Lactic acid gently exfoliates and promotes smoother texture
• Aloe vera soothes and calms redness or tightness

How should I use this cream in my daily routine?

After cleansing and toning, apply the cream to face and neck morning and night. Use light, upward strokes to massage product in; for very dry areas, you can layer slightly more to reinforce hydration. It plays well under sunscreen in the daytime and under richer overnight treatments if extra repair is desired.

• Use after cleansing and any targeted serums
• Apply to face and neck, morning and evening
• Layer under SPF during the day; use alone or with a sleeping mask at night

Does it support the skin’s natural microbiome?

The formula includes a prebiotic Chlorella algae complex intended to help rebalance the skin’s ecosystem and support overall surface health. Rather than being an active that kills microbes, this approach encourages a more balanced environment that can contribute to a healthier-looking complexion.

• Chlorella-derived prebiotics help nurture a balanced skin ecosystem
• Supports conditions favorable to resilient skin surface health
• Designed for regular use without stripping natural oils

Who is this for: Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance is ideal for people with dry, dehydrated, or lipid-deficient skin who want a nourishing daily moisturizer that focuses on restoring barrier function and long-lasting comfort. It suits those who prefer a richer texture and a larger jar size for extended use—especially beneficial in cold, dry climates or for anyone whose skin needs consistent replenishment. If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, consider patch testing or consulting with a skincare professional to confirm compatibility.
