Reviews
Radiant skin
"I’ve been using Dermalogica products for a long time, but this cream has truly been a game changer for me. It gives my skin great hydration while also providing SPF 50 protection, and the best part is that it feels so lightweight — no heaviness or greasy feeling on the face at all. People often ask me about my skincare routine because my skin looks healthy and glowing, and this moisturizer has definitely become one of my favorite products."
— Anastasia (5/5)
Dynamic Skin Recovery
"Ive used Dermatologica professionally and personally for many years because the ingredients and formulas are solid. This has been my go to daytime moisturizer and sunscreen for about two years. My skin is mature and has always been oily/comb. I like the way it feels, absorbs, and the light glow it gives. I like to use a little on neck, shoulders, and the back of my hands. Previously I’ve purchased travel-3. 4 oz size which offers a lot of options. Very solid product"
— Laine V. (5/5)
Upgrade your sun protection
"Glides on your skin and absorbs easily doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, but hydrate effectively excellence smell super fantastic for layering and adds a nice supple touch to older skin and a Dewey glow to younger skin."
— Casey A. (5/5)
I’ve been using this face
"I’ve been using this face moisturizer for years even when in very hot climates. I’ve always felt my face was very well protected even after going into the pool. The 50SPF is fantastic and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. I’ll continue buying this product."
— Liz M. (5/5)
Love the spf and quality
"Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 is one of my absolute favorite skincare products. The high SPF feels like a hidden gem, especially for how elegant the formula is. I’m currently going through chemotherapy and have been advised to wear SPF 50 daily along with additional sun protection. This product makes that step effortless. I can use it each morning as the final step in my routine and feel confident that my skin is well protected. It leaves my skin feeling smooth, hydrated, and comfortable without any heaviness. The texture is lightweight, absorbs beautifully, and has a very clean, refined feel. At this stage in my life, I’m much more intentional about my skincare, and I’m so grateful to have found a product that truly meets my needs. This has been a reliable and comforting part of my daily routine"
— Stephanie D. (5/5)
Dynamic Skin Recovery with SPF
"As far as sun protection goes, it does the job. The formula is light and non greasy. I prefer a tinted sunscreen, but that's just a preference. I don't see any changes in my skin as of yet. I will update if I see improvement."
— Cynthia F. (4/5)
Skin responded poorly
"Wasn’t for me. A bit too thick. I’m personally not a fan of pump bottles like this as well since you never can get it all out. The texture is slightly sticky. It smells just like any other sunscreen. I broke out a bit in places I normally don’t. It also had an expiration date for only months away which CS said was normal since so small but isn’t friendly to stocking up or infrequent use. Very expensive for so little. It didn’t take a huge amount to cover my face but I need something lighter. I returned it. That was at least a somewhat smooth process."
— Analisa S. (1/5)
One for home and one for the road!
"This is an incredible product! My skin glows and heals when I use it. People often comment on how wonderful I look. I am happy to share my trick. And, I get ALL this and great protection. Don't leave home without it. Have two on hand. One for the road and one for home. You won't regret it!"
— Patricia D. (5/5)
I love this! My ordered
"I love this! My ordered this because I want spf in my daily moisturizer, this stuff is fantastic. Not only does my face feel soft and moisturizerized, it doesn’t get the sun rays either. I highly recommend it!"
— Linda T. (5/5)
Just Right!
"This moisturizer is a perfect balance of hydration and protection! My skin looks brighter, smoother, and even toned. At 45, it’s been harder to find the right products and this one is perfect!"
— Jo (5/5)
Q&A
Hi, How often does this need to be reapplied throughout the day to maintain SPF 50 coverage? Thanks
Hello Michelle, Thank you for your question. We’re happy to help clarify how to maintain effective sun protection throughout the day. To maintain the full SPF 50 protection provided by Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50, we recommend reapplying the product approximately every two hours when you are exposed to sunlight. Reapplication is especially important after activities such as sweating, swimming, or towel drying, as these can reduce the effectiveness of the sunscreen. For daily use, apply the moisturizer generously in the morning as the final step in your skincare routine before sun exposure. If you are spending extended time outdoors, consistent reapplication will help ensure your skin remains properly protected. If you have any additional questions about sun protection or how to incorporate SPF into your skincare routine, please feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to help. Kindly, Sandra
I've used this product over the past few years and could have sworn it contained Hyaluronic Acid. Did this product use to contain this ingredient, and if so, why did you change the formula?
Hello, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. Our Dynamic Skin SPF 50 does not contain hyaluronic acid and hasn't in the past. Instead, it features Glucosamine HCl, which is part of a proprietary hydrating complex with renewing properties designed to keep skin healthy and hydrated. If you have more questions please feel free to reach out to one of our licensed skin therapists at: https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us. Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
The ingredient list shows that Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 moisturizer includes Sodium Benzoate. Is it safe to use this product with the Vitamin C serum and other skin care products that have Vitamin C? If yes, is it only safe with the stable derivatives of Vitamin C?
Hello Carol, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica Our dynamic skin recovery SPF50 moisturizer is safe to use with our vitamin C products/ingredients! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
