Active Moist Moisturizer — Reddit Reviews
by Dermalogica
Updated October 3, 2026
Oil-free silicone moisturizer that calms breakout-prone combination skin; pricey but dependable.
What the community says
A lightweight daily moisturizer built around humectants, dimethicone, and saccharide isomerate, with a lotiony feel rather than a heavy cream. It tends to work best for oily or combination skin that hates greasy residue; dry, tretinoin-flaky faces usually want more.
