Q&A

Hi, i currently use your face wash, then the rice powder daily microfoliant, and then moisturizer. I don't currently use toner. Do i need toner ? And is it okay to apply this serum after exfoliating, before moisturizer? if so, how long to wait in between?: Hello Hallie, Thank you for your question. Using a toner in your skincare routine is not essential, but it can be beneficial depending on your skin type and concerns. Toners enhance the absorption of serums and moisturizers. They can also target specific concerns, such as hydration, oil control, or soothing irritation. Yes, you may apply your serum after exfoliating and before your moisturizer. There’s no need to wait too long between steps—applying products while your skin is still slightly damp can improve absorption, help the product glide on more easily, and even reduce the amount needed. Please let us know if you have any other questions! We are here to help. Kindly, Sandra
Can you wear under makeup?: Hello Brenda, Thank you for your question. Yes, you can absolutely wear this under your makeup! To ensure the best results, we highly recommend applying a moisturizer and sunscreen first to hydrate and protect your skin. If desired, you can also apply a primer, such as the SkinPerfect Primer, to create a smooth base before your makeup application. This will help your makeup go on more evenly and last longer throughout the day. If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help. Kindly, Sandra
Hello! What is the difference between the biolumin-c vitamin c serum and the night vitamin c serum? Since you can use the biolumin-c both am and pm, I am wondering which one to purchase. Thank you!: Hello Chartel! Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The Biolumin C Serum is designed to brighten, firm, and combat oxidative stress during the day or night. The Biolumin C Night Restore Serum is intended to optimize skin recovery and renewal while you sleep! We're happy to help break down more of the differences between both products and the ingredients they contain! If you'd like to learn more, please visit Dermalogica.com and click on the support bubble to chat with a licensed skin therapist! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
How long does the product stay good unopened?: Hi, Albert! The Biolumin C Serum, unopened, has a 12-24 month shelf life! For more information about expiration dates, please visit Dermalogica.com and click on the support bubble to chat with a representative. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is this serum oil free? I'm looking for an oil free vitamin c serum since anything with oil causes me to break out. Thank you.: Hello Francesca, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The Biolumin-C serum is going to be a water based serum, however it will contain oil/essential oils. You may view the ingredients list on the product page as well if there are any specific ingredients in which you would prefer to avoid! Kind Regards Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
