FAQ

What skin types is Stabilizing Repair Cream recommended for?

Recommended for all skin types, especially sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin.

What is the texture like?

Balmy-cream texture that melts into skin - rich and nourishing but absorbs without feeling greasy for most users.

What are the key active ingredients?

Formulated using a blend with Resurrection Plant, Tasmania Lanceolota extract, and Boerhavia Diffusa Root, it quickly reduces redness and discomfort. A proprietary Ceramide-Building Complex provides nourishing lipids, strengthening skin’s barrier to lock in moisture and help keep signs of sensitivity at bay. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

Is it scented?

Dermalogica formulas never use artificial fragrances. However, botanical extracts and essential oils included for skin benefits may have a natural scent. Some users may notice a subtle fragrance.

Can I use it under makeup?

Yes - many users report it layers well under makeup and does not leave a greasy finish.

Can it be used on body dry patches or eczema-prone areas?

Users commonly apply it to dry or irritated patches on the body; it's used as an intensive soothing moisturizer for dry areas.

How much should I use?

A little goes a long way; many users report a pea-sized amount covers face and part of the neck.

Who might this product not be ideal for?

May be too rich or balmy for people who prefer very lightweight gel moisturizers or who have very oily skin.

Is Stabilizing Repair Cream clinically tested?

Yes. In an independent clinical test, 31 subjects used it twice a day for 8 weeks: they saw a reduction in redness, irritation, and itchiness within 1 week. That's why we describe it as clinically proven to help stop sensitive skin within 1 week, while the proprietary Ceramide-Building Complex keeps working to strengthen skin’s barrier over time.

Where does it fit in my routine, and can I use it after a professional treatment?

Use it as your moisturizer, once or twice daily: apply after your cleanser, toner, eye treatment, and serum, then rub the cream between hands and blend over face and neck with light, upward strokes (keep out of eyes). In the morning, follow with SPF. In the treatment room, professional skin therapists apply it as the finishing step and often pair it with UltraCalming Mist, and therapists in our IDI community reach for it after resurfacing services like peels and dermaplaning, when the goal is to calm, hydrate, and repair the barrier rather than to add actives.

Are there any professional tips for this product?

Worth It!

Q&A

Can moisturizer be used in conjunction with this cream?: Hello Ann, Stabilizing Repair Cream is already a moisturizer and would be an excellent option for clients with sensitive skin who need richer hydration and barrier support. It soothes sensitivity on contact while helping strengthen the skin barrier over time. Although it has a rich, protective texture, it absorbs quickly and does not feel heavy on the skin. Stabilizing Repair Cream can be used once or twice daily. If used in the morning, follow with a sunscreen. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance, we are happy to help. Kind Regards Leslie Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Should I use the stabilizing repair cream along with the gel for the ultrasensitive line: Hello Shannon, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The stabilizing repair cream and calm water gel would both be the moisturizer step within the skincare routine, so you may simply choose one! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Where is my three piece free gift. I dont see it at checkout.: Hello Russell, Thank you for contacting Dermalogica, and I’m sorry to hear that you were unable to add the 3-piece gift to your order at checkout. We would be happy to look into this for you and provide more information. To help us investigate further, could you please provide a few additional details about the promotion you are referring to? If you have already placed your order, please include your order number and shipping address to [email protected]. If possible, a screenshot of the promotional offer or what you are seeing at checkout would also be extremely helpful. This will allow us to review the promotion details and determine what may have occurred. Once we receive this information, we'll be happy to take a closer look and assist you further. Kindly, Sandra Customer Service Agent
Does the stabilizing repair cream contain silicones?: Hello Michelle, Thank you for reaching out with your question about the ingredients—I’m happy to help clarify! This formula does not contain silicones. Stabilizing Repair Cream instead uses a blend of moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredients like squalane, shea butter, and jojoba oil, along with soothing plant extracts. These can give a smooth, soft feel on the skin, but they are not silicone-based. If you have any other questions about ingredients or would like help finding products that meet your preferences, please let us know! We offer free skin consultations via chat with our professional skin experts on https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us. We also offer free video consultations. Here is a link to book a free 20 minute video consultation with one of our professional skin therapists! https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/video-consultations-page We look forward to speaking to you. Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Hi, Which ingredient(s) make this unsuitable for use on eyelids? Thanks: Hello Michelle, Thank you for your question, and we appreciate you reaching out for clarification. Stabilizing Repair Cream was specifically formulated to help soothe, calm, and reduce visible redness on the face. Because the skin around the eyes and eyelids is much thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, this moisturizer was not designed or tested for use in that area. For this reason, we do not recommend applying Stabilizing Repair Cream directly on the eyelids or around the eye area. Instead, using a product that is specifically formulated and tested for the delicate eye area would be the safest and most comfortable option. If you would like, we would be happy to recommend an eye treatment that can help address your specific concerns while being gentle enough for that sensitive area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. We’re always happy to help. Warm regards, Sandra
