What it is

Dermalogica describes BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer as a lightweight daily gel moisturizer for hydration and radiance. The brand recommends it for all skin types, including concerns such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation and loss of firmness.

Key ingredients

  • Vitamin C complex: Dermalogica says its stable complex and re-activation technology help boost bioavailability for brighter-looking skin and improved barrier defense.
  • Squalane and five types of hyaluronic acid: The brand says these provide hydration and help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Verbascum thapsus flower extract: Dermalogica attributes an immediate brightening effect to this extract.
  • Phytic acid and pumpkin enzymes: The brand describes these as exfoliating ingredients that support natural skin renewal.

How to use

After cleansing and toning, apply over the face and neck in light, upward strokes. Dermalogica directs twice-daily use, morning and night.

Who should be careful

Dermalogica says the formula contains no artificial fragrance but notes that botanical extracts and essential oils may have a natural scent. The listed ingredients include grapefruit peel oil, bergamot fruit oil and limonene. The brand suggests patch testing first if you have a known sensitivity to an ingredient.
