Reviews
Great moisturizer for sensitive skin.
"This is my favorite moisturizer- I use it all the time and my skin responds really well to it. I often get reactions to moisturizers, but not this one and it doesn’t look or feel greasy or make my bangs greasy. I noticed improved texture of my skin when I started using this one. It’s great."
— Moira S. (5/5)
Little nighttime luxury
"I originally got this as a sample, and I was very pleasantly surprised. It felt so luxurious that I finally bought the big one. It is very pricey, so I don't use it every night, but when I do it is such a nice end to my evening skin routine. If you like pachouli, the smell is subtle enough not to be irritating and very relaxing. I think it actually helps me sleep. It has a gel like consistency and it's not greasy. It truly does melt into your skin over night, and I don't feel any residue left over when I wash my face in the morning. My skin is very sensitive, and this is very soothing."
— Molly O. (5/5)
This is probably my favorite skincare item. I love
"This is probably my favorite skincare item. I love how it makes my skin feel. I also love the lavender scent to it. It helps me relax when I apply it for bedtime."
— lila (5/5)
My favorite!
"This has become my favorite. The container and dosing is perfect. One squirt, maybe two is enough coverage. I love the feel and scent, and I do feel like it has helped me fall asleep much faster. I can't say that I have seem much change in my skin yet, but time will tell."
— Tara H. (5/5)
"I love this product. My skin was so dry and scaly…this turned it back to soft skin Thank you"
— Cindy (5/5)

Best overnight cream
"This is probably my favorite Dermalogica product. I use this every night at the end of my nightly skin regimen. I love the texture of this product and I’m convinced the lavender in it helps me sleep better. Love it!"
— Debra O. (5/5)
My Holy Grail Product
"This product is my holy grail and has been for years now. I can not go anywhere without it. I use it daily at night and my skin has never felt better. It makes my skin so soft and radiant, I notice a huge difference if i skip this step in my routine. I can not recommend this product enough, 100% worth the money over and over again."
— Kellie J. (5/5)
One skin care product I
"One skin care product I absolutely cannot do without. I ran out for a few weeks and I noticed the difference. This night gel- cream is simply extraordinary… use on your face at night and your skin will be automatically renewed and revitalized by morning . You actually feel the instant glow and softness of your skin the moment you apply it."
— Uche O. (5/5)
Luxurious nightly routine
"It's a little expensive, but I've found nothing that matches the luxurious experience of using it. It's light and immediately moisturizing upon application and my skin feels silky smooth in the mornings after use. I try to be mindful/ration and not use too much product at once - but I find myself coming back to this product if I go too long without it. I wish it came in a better container. It's hard to tell how much you have left."
— Paige W. (5/5)
Q&A
What is the shelf life of this product
Hello Kaliya, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica and your question. Products containing SPF and Acne actives will have an expiration date on the bottle. Once the product reaches the date stamped on the packaging it should no longer be used, otherwise the shelf life for unopened products is about 2-3 years. All other products have an open jar symbol, which is the diagram drawing of a jar with lid and a number in the jar. Most commonly used is 24 M. This means that once opened, the product may be used up to 24 months. This does not mean however that the product may not have changed in smell, texture or even efficacy it only means that it is SAFE to use based on stability data which differs from product to product but in the majority of cases is 24-36 months. For more questions or concerns you can always reach us at: https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
How do you open the jar? I twisted it per the directions on the jar, but I couldn't get it to open.
Hi Cheryl, Thank you for your question. To dispense the product, simply twist the top to unlock and then pump. Please be aware that the packaging is not intended to be opened. Therefore, once the product has stopped dispensing, the container will be empty. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us on chat! Kind regards, Lydia
Can you use this if using retin-a 2 to 3 times a week ?
Hi Amy, Thank you for your question! You can use the Sound Sleep Cocoon in your night routine even while using retin-A 2-3 times a week as the Sound Sleep Cocoon is not a resurfacing product with high active ingredients. Kind Regards, Beatriz
Do you use moisturizer after the Retinol serum?
Hello, Bernadette! Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Yes, please apply moisturizer over the Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum. Note, Sound Sleep Cocoon is like a reverse serum that works with your body's circadian rhythm. You apply it as the final step of your night time routine on top of your moisturizer. Kind Regards, Beatriz
Do you use moisturizer or is this the moisturizer?
Hi there, thanks for reaching out! You apply it as the final step of your night time routine on top of your moisturizer. Sound Sleep Cocoon is like a reverse serum that works with your body's circadian rhythm. It has encapsulated essential oils that release as you toss and turn so that you rest better. The more you rest, the better your skin can repair itself while you sleep! Kind regards, Amber The Dermalogica Team
