Reviews

A refreshing product

"My skin has a natural shine and smooth feel with this product. The scent is clean and refreshing, I actually look forward to it."

— Christine Y. (5/5)

Great sunscreen

"I love the texture and how it feels on my skin. It doesn’t leave any white cast, which is a huge plus for spf. My husband and I both love this SPF ! We use it every morning. It provides great sun protection while keeping our skin hydrated."

— Dolgormaa C. (5/5)

My Go-To Daily AM Moisturizer!

"I love how this cream glides across skin amd absorbs without leaving an oily residue. I also like that this SPF doesn't have a strong odor like other brands, which cause an allergic reaction. This SPF is worth every penny!"

— Ellie (5/5)

The best : dynamic skin recovery spf50.

"I have used Dermalogica products for about twenty-six years. The dynamic skin recovery spf50 is excellent protection. It and the cleansers and moisturizers have kept my skin looking younger than my actual age. I never go outside without dynamic skin recovery."

— Elizabeth M. (5/5)

Sunscreen protection with a nice day cream

"Love the feel and the hydration even with the sunscreen. Not so sure about the wrinkle factor as I’m 75 years old and that ship has sailed I’m glad I found these products recommended by my dermatologist. Her skin is beautiful"

— Trish F. (5/5)

Works really well, just don't like sunscreen scent

"I generally dislike moisturizers with sunscreen in them. They smell like sunscreen, and eventually at some point during the day, my eyes start burning. My dermatologist recommended a different (separate) sunscreen to use on my face and I love it because it doesn't burn my eyes ever. When I took the Dermalogica quiz to see what products the company recommended for my skin type, this was the moisturizer that came up. Three times I added to my cart and deleted it. I finally purchased it, and I actually do like it! It's lightweight, not greasy, but gives a good later of moisture. The only thing I don't like is that it does have the (lighter) scent of sunscreen, but I'm getting used to it."

— Kelly D. (4/5)

Sunscreen meets combating aging

"I love this sunscreen. It is SPF 50 which is great but also leaves my skin feeling so hydrated all day long. Added bonus that is smells so good too!"

— Avery (5/5)

Great product

"I've been using dynamic skin recovery spf50 for years, every once in a while, I switch to something else, mostly just to change it up, but always ALWAYS come back to this product. I've tried R&F, Shiseido, Tata Harper, Kiehl's and a few derm brands I can't recall. Nothing compares to the solid performance of this product. And I think I've learned my lesson and will stick with Dermalogica. It is not a heavy product, it goes on smoothly, provides spf and great moisture. It provides a little bit of a glow, so foundation isn't always needed. I do wish there was a mineral sunscreen version, but I imagine that would change the product dramatically."

— Michelle B. (5/5)

BEST facial SPF ever!

"The best facial spf product I have ever tried and I’ve tried many! This will be the 3rd time I have purchased this product. When the product runs out, I break the tube & get several more applications. I believe there could be a better way to package this product."

— Margaret K. (5/5)

Love this product

"I absolutely love this product! One of the best skincare products I’ve ever used. It leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh, smooth, and beautifully hydrated. My skin feels healthier and looks more radiant after using it. Definitely a new favorite!"

— Christina K. (5/5)

Q&A

Is it safe for sensitive skin?: Hello Chio, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Although we would be unable to speak on how your skin in particular might respond to a product, the dynamic skin recovery spf50 is safe for sensitive skin types to use. Kind Regards, Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
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
