Q&A
About how many applications does a bottle contain? Trying to determine how often I need to reorder.
Hello Arielle, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica, this product has an estimated 80 uses. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
I purchased the vitamin c gel moisturizer in a kit with the vitamin c serum. Are you supposed to use the serum and the moisturizer together? Serum first and then moisturizer. Or is it overkill?
Thank you AR for your question. Yes, you may use the Biolumin C Serum under the Biolumin C Gel Moisturizer. If using these products during the day, please be certain to apply a sunscreen over the moisturizer. Kindly, Sandra
Is it ok to use the vitamin c gel moisturizer after dynamic skin retinol serum?
Hi Christy, Thank you for your question! Yes, you may use BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer after the Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum. Best wishes, Lydia
What form of C is in this?
Hi, Adele! Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. All of the Biolumin-C products contain two highly stable and bioavailable forms of vitamin c. All three Biolumin-C products contain advanced technology that delivers more Vitamin c into the skin – which means that more vitamin c is available to the cells to protect and defend the skin. We hope that this information was helpful! Please let us know if you have any further questions. Kind Regards, Beatriz
Is the vitamin c gel moisturizer ok to use for sensitive skin?
Hello, and thank you for your question Kate! Although the Biolumin-C Gel Moisturizer is not a part of our UltraCalming franchise, it it is still suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The Biolumin-C Gel Moisturizer hydrates, brightens and luminizes the skin instantly! This lightweight moisturizer combines two potent forms of vitamin c to brighten and protect, phytic acid and pumpkin enzymes to exfoliate, while 5 types of hyaluronic acid hydrate! Just be aware it is very lightly exfoliating, in case you are using other exfoliating products, as not to over do! Thank you again for your question, and for reaching out to Dermalogica.
