Q&A
Is this safe to use with Tretinoin cream? If not, can you tell me which ones are?
Hello Jamie, Thank you for your question. Yes, PowerBright Moisturizer SPF 50 can be used alongside tretinoin. Since tretinoin is typically applied at night, using a gentle, protective daytime moisturizer like this one during the day can be a great way to help support your skin. PowerBright SPF 50 does not contain additional exfoliating ingredients, making it a suitable option while using tretinoin. If your tretinoin was prescribed, we highly recommend checking with your medical provider to ensure your overall routine aligns with their guidance. If you’re looking for additional options, we’d be happy to suggest other gentle moisturizers or sunscreens that pair well with tretinoin. We hope this helps, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any other questions—we’re always here to support you. Kindly, Sandra Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist

Is the powerbright moisturizer spf50 considered a mineral sunscreen or a chemical sunscreen?
Hello Sam, Thank you for your question. The PowerBright Moisturizer SPF 50 is classified as a chemical sunscreen due to its active ingredients: Octocrylene (8.0%), Homosalate (5.0%), Avobenzone (3.0%), and Octisalate (3.0%). This allows for a lightweight, non-whitening formula that blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving a residue. PowerBright Moisturizer SPF 50 not only provides broad-spectrum sun protection but also helps to even skin tone and enhance radiance, making it an excellent choice for daily use. We hope this information provides clarity. Kindly, Sandra
Hi, do I need to use makeup remover if I only apply this product all day? Thanks
Hi there Rita, thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. You do not need to use make-remover if you have the Powebright Moisturizer SPF50 on. However, if you are using Precleanse, you can still use it to remove product build up, sunscreen, debris, etc! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Does this leave a shiny finish or is it more matte? I find that the Dynamic recovery makes me look greasy but I still want a 50SPF.
Hello Sofia, Thank you for your question. The Powerbright Moisturizer SPF 50 leaves more of a glowy finish. For a mattified finish, we recommend the Oil Free Matte SPF 30: https://www.dermalogica.com/products/oil-free-matte-spf30?selling_plan=2406219928 If you have additional questions, please live chat with our Professional Skin Therapist on Dermalogica.com or email us at [email protected] Kind regards, Ashlyn
