Face Moisturisers & Face Creams
Every skin type needs a moisturiser, even oily skin!
Moisturisers are designed to seal essential moisture into the skin and protect the skin’s defensive barrier. They reinforce the natural protective layer of skin by restoring the balance of water and lipids (oil). This is the primary factor in choosing your face moisturiser: What does your skin need? More hydration? More oil? Or a combination of both?
Our face moisturiser range contains powerful plant extracts, essential oils and antioxidant vitamins to hydrate, repair and protect the skin against the drying effects of environmental exposure, pollution and stress. Whether you have dry, dull, sensitive, oily, ageing or breakout-prone skin, you’ll find the right moisturiser for your skin.
the best face moisturisers for oily skin
For those with combination or oily skin, our oil-free Active Moist face cream brings the skin into balance and promotes a healthy microbiome with a unique blend of botanicals that improve skin texture and surface dehydration. If you’re a teen or in your early 20’s and wish to combat excess oil and give your skin a fresh glow, our Clear Start Cooling Aqua Jelly face moisturiser will leave your skin feeling balanced, bright and hydrated. With antioxidant benefits and a retinol-like bioflavonoid complex that refines the skin and combats excess sebum production, Cooling Aqua Jelly is a must-have for daily oil control moisturiser for younger skins.

Moisturiser FAQs
can Dermalogica help me find the right face creams & face moisturiser for my skin? And what moisturiser should I use?
Absolutely, that’s what we’re here for! You can select your moisturiser based on its weight. The heavier it is, the more oil it contains, and this will address dry, depleted skins. Lighter moisturisers in lotion or gel form contain more water and less oil—some are even completely oil free and ideal for oily to combination skin types.
Our most popular moisturiser is our medium weight cream, offering a combination of both oil and water. Ideal for a combination skin. Skin Smoothing Cream is a cult favourite, designed to balance dehydrated, combination skin.

what does moisturiser do?
Dermalogica’s face moisturisers are enriched with active and targeted ingredients that protect the skin from environmental stressors, while providing unmatched nourishment and deep, long-lasting hydration. Those with dry or mature skin should look for heavier formulas that contain more oil.
Whereas, those with oily or combination skin should select lighter options that help balance excess oil production, while leaving the skin feeling supple and refreshed. Regardless of your skin type or concerns, a moisturiser will seal in essential moisture and protect your barrier. They’re your final step in your skin regimen, along with your spf in the daytime.
why should I moisturise my skin?
Moisturisers are an essential step in every skincare routine and every skin needs a moisturiser - even oily skins! Without topped up moisture levels, the skin produces more oil, holds onto dead skin cells and can become sensitised.
A moisturiser balances your skin’s natural oil production, combats dryness, flakiness, and dehydration, and protects your external barrier against environmental stressors that can accelerate signs of premature skin ageing.
