Acne-targeting daily gel helps prevent breakouts. Lightweight moisturizer with a prebiotic blend hydrates and supports skin’s microbiome, helping aging skin look healthier, now and in the future.
Bioengineered Plankton Extract and Glycerin hydrate skin’s barrier, helping to defend against signs of premature aging and soothe skin. A prebiotic blend with Indian Mulberry, Glutamic Acid, and Agave-derived Inulin hydrates and helps balance skin’s microbiome. Salicylic Acid reduces acne by exfoliating away dead skin cells, helping to keep pores clear and prevent future breakouts. Niacinamide and Jojoba strengthen the skin barrier, helping to reduce the look of pores and post-blemish marks to brighten and smooth. Manuka and Magnolia extracts visibly reduce sebum for more balanced skin.
After cleansing and toning, apply over face and neck in light, upward strokes. Follow with SPF in the morning.

"I restarted dermalogica after I irritated my skin with a bunch of new products I was influenced to buy. I can say that thus far dermalogica rescued my skin, but this particular moisurizer though I see positive results in my acne, does not sit well on the skin for me. It has a sticky, tacky feeling on the skin and doesnt feel like it actually sinks in to provide any moisture."
"This is just the right moisture and feels great. It absorbs really well without creating oiliness and soothes acne skin, making it feel healthy. It speeds up acne scab recovery. Love it!"
"I have pretty tender skin and as long as I am not using it in the areas around my nose and eyes it is okay, but in those areas, I tend to notice a slight burning sensation. Which I understand is because of the sensitive skin but still a note worth taking!"
"Loving this lightweight, non greasy finish. Plus it treats current breakouts quickly and keeps new breakouts at bay on my oily skin."
"2 small dots and my whole face feels moisturized. I have very dry skin and this is combo with the whole acne line has changed the appearance of my skin and I’m finally seeing results"
"I love this moisturizer because it's light, calming and feels good on my skin. I am still breaking out but haven't been using it that long but will continue and hoping my skin turns around"
"I’ve been using this product for about a month, and this is the longest I’ve gone without an insane hormonal breakout happening! Very pleased with the product as well as the packaging! Super smooth consistency as well!"
"I love that you can close this without having a lid or extra unnecessary packaging. This is lightweight and have a light scent to it that is fresh and clean"
"As someone who has adult acne, I really loved this moisturizer! Helped my acne improve, and feels really light - isn’t a super heavy cream or anything! Smells really good to & is calming."
"I truly love the acne biotic moisturizer. If I ever feel like a pimple is about to surface, can rest asure that this moisturizer will save the day. It's definitely a staple product for me"
