Great for Sensitive Skin!
"The skin smoothing cream moisturizer works great on my skin! I have very sensitive skin so it is hard for me to find a good moisturizer that doesn't irritate my skin, or actually helps with redness and dryness. I instantly saw a glow and hydration in my skin just after a few days of using this product. I'll never use any other moisturizer."

Q&A
Does this product contain any mammal or animal byproducts?
Hello Karie, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Rest assured, we are certified vegan by PETA on all current Dermalogica product formulas. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Does the "skin smoothing cream" have UV protection
Hello Sandi, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The skin smoothing cream does not contain SPF. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Hello, I searched hand lotion on your site and this cream came up - can it be used as a hand lotion, and/or does Dermalogica make a hand lotion? Or is there another cream you make that can be used for hands? Thank you!
Hello Lisa, Great question! The Skin Smoothing Cream can be used on the hands. Kind regards, Ashlyn
Is this a good one for oily acne prone skin?
Hello Tiffani, Thank you for your question! This moisturizer works well for combination, balanced, and slightly oilier skin types, providing effective hydration without feeling heavy. However, if you’re specifically looking for a lightweight option, you might want to consider Active Moist. It's an excellent choice for those with oilier skin or anyone preferring a lighter formula. You may also want to consider the AGE Bright Clearing Serum to help reduce the acne breakouts. I hope this information helps. Kindly, Sandra
