Intensive Moisture Balance — Reddit Reviews
by Dermalogica
Updated October 31, 2026
Thick moisturizer for dry skin with a pore-friendly community reputation.
What the community says
A rich daily cream built around ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, and dimethicone for dry-skin comfort. It fits people who prefer substantial cushioning, though recurring breakouts and occasional dryness make it a questionable long-term match.
