Clinically tested face + body serum that helps relieve redness and dryness in eczema-prone, reactive, and irritated skin. This quick-relief serum immediately moisturizes to help relieve signs of sensory irritation such as itching, stinging, and tightness*. It works to fortify the skin’s moisture barrier — building a hydration reservoir that helps defend against future sensitivity.
Colloidal Oatmeal helps relieve itching and moisturizes to reduce tightness. A cooling sensory blend with Northern Truffle Mushroom Extract helps comfort skin. Encapsulated Calcium replenishes while Ground Cherry, Bisabolol, and Ginger help repair damage to skin's moisture barrier. Resurrection Plant hydrates, replenishes, and restores skin’s resilience. A Biomimetic Complex with skin-replenishing lipids, phytosterols, and ceramide-like compounds deeply nourishes, helps seal in moisture, and leaves skin supple. A blend of prebiotic Glycerin and Avena Extract moisturizes and supports skin’s microbiome.
*Results after 30 minutes. Based on a consumer perception evaluation within a clinical study, 33 subjects, 2 applications/day for 4 weeks.

Stabilizing Repair Serum is a clinically tested face and body serum formulated for eczema-prone, reactive, and irritated skin to help relieve redness, dryness, and sensory irritation such as itching, stinging, and tightness.
What are the key active ingredients and how do they help?
Key actives include 1% colloidal oatmeal (a skin protectant that helps relieve itching and moisturizes), an encapsulated calcium replenisher, a biomimetic complex with lipids and ceramide-like compounds to help seal in moisture, and a cooling sensory blend with Northern Truffle Mushroom Extract. Additional botanicals such as ground cherry, bisabolol, ginger, resurrection plant, glycerin, and Avena extract support barrier repair, hydration, and the skin microbiome.
Can I use this serum on both my face and body?
Yes. The serum is formulated for both face and body use and is suitable for targeted areas of reactive or irritated skin.
How and when should I use Stabilizing Repair Serum?
Apply to clean skin and allow the serum to absorb before following with the rest of your routine. Use twice daily for ongoing support and symptom relief.
How quickly will I notice relief?
Many people notice sensory relief (reduced itching, stinging or tightness) shortly after application due to the cooling sensory blend and colloidal oatmeal. If symptoms worsen or persist for more than seven days, or clear up and return within a few days, stop use and consult a doctor as advised in the product warnings.
Can I use this serum with prescription topical treatments (for example topical steroids) or with other active ingredients?
If you are using prescription topical treatments, other strong actives (like prescription retinoids), or have complex skin conditions, consult your prescribing clinician or dermatologist before combining products. When introducing any new product, consider patch testing and monitor the treated area for irritation.

Reviews
Wonderful for Angry Skin!
"I was gifted by dermalogica the "Stabilizing Repair Face + Body Serum" and I am a big fan of it. I have struggled with redness and cracked knuckles for years because of washing my hands frequently and I've tried many things to help. This serum has been effective almost immediately to relieve redness. I've applied it in the evenings before bed and when I wake up, my skin is noticeably less angry and red. A little goes a long way, and the pump dispenser makes it easy to not use too much product."
— Kelsey (5/5)
Great!
"This stabilizing repair face + body serum from dermalogica has worked wonders on my skin. I have very sensitive irritable skin, and the summer wreaks havoc on it. I love that this has really helped calm and soothe my skin. My skin feels healthy and looks so great. complimentary from dermalogica gifted by dermalogica"

Soothing and lightweight
"Gifted by Dermalogica. I really like how lightweight and soothing this serum feels on my skin. It absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. My skin feels softer, calmer, and nicely moisturized after using it. I also love how comfortable and gentle it feels, especially when my skin needs a little extra care."
— Naila M. (5/5)
Love it!
"I absolutely love this serum from Dermalogica! My knees and elbows are always so dry, and this has helped so much. It leaves my skin feeling smoother, softer, and much more hydrated. It’s become a product I reach for whenever my skin feels dry or needs a little extra nourishment. complimentary from dermalogica"

Instantly Soothes Sensitive Skin
"I’ve been using this gifted by dermalogica serum on irritated, sensitive skin, and it’s incredibly calming The lightweight serum texture absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky, and the 1% colloidal oatmeal helps reduce redness and discomfort almost immediately. It’s become one of my go-to products whenever my skin barrier feels compromised or after too much sun exposure. Great for both the face and body, especially if you have sensitive or eczema-prone skin."
— Cristina (5/5)
Calming and soothing
"This thick serum is fantastic for calming down redness on your face, and it works so well under makeup without causing any irritation. It's packed with soothing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, squalane, and plant extract. The only drawback is the bottle size; it's a bit too small if you're trying to use it on larger areas of your body. I used it to calm my skin down after an adverse reaction to another skincare product. gifted by dermalogica"
— Carina (4/5)
Great barrier serum!
"complimentary from dermalogica. I tried this relief cream for about 10 days now and I think its great for temporary relief. It is not a treatment for eczema. It helped with itching and hydration purposes. I uploaded two pictures to show before and afters of just using the serum and you can see it got worse but during this time, it did not itch as bad, get flaky or start to bleed. It’s a great addition to a routine, although I think any thick moisturizer could do this."
— Brianna (5/5)
Works great
"This serum has been a lifesaver for my sensitive skin. It feels lightweight but deeply nourishing, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling calm, soft, and hydrated. I noticed less redness and irritation after consistent use, and it layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup. A great option for anyone looking to strengthen their skin barrier gifted by dermalogica"
— Anna P. (5/5)
Perfect for all over.
"I received this product complimentary from dermalogica. I have struggled with eczema around my eyes in the last year. My elbows are my usual spots. I am happy to report that this has helped with both trouble areas. This helped my eyes tremendously with dryness and itchiness. I'm very happy this exists."
— TatiD (5/5)
Hydrating & Soothing Serum
"I received this serum as a gift and have really enjoyed using it. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly without feeling sticky, and it leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and well hydrated. I’ve been applying it to both my face and dry areas on my body, and my skin looks calmer and feels more comfortable after each use. It’s gentle, nourishing, and a great addition to my daily skincare routine. Highly recommend for anyone looking for extra hydration and skin barrier support. complimentary from dermalogica"

Q&A
What's the difference between this and the stabilizing repair cream? Is this meant to replace the ultacalming serum?
Hello Paula, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The stabilizing repair serum can be used in combination with the stabilizing repair cream, as the stabilizing repair cream will be the moisturizer step within your routine! The stabilizing repair serum is also clinically tested for use on the face and body! Great for eczema-prone, reactive, and irritated skin helps relieve redness and dryness. Quick-relief serum helps alleviate signs of sensory irritation such as itching, stinging, and tightness – moisturizing and supporting skin’s barrier.
