Moisturisers are often the hero of every skincare routine. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or somewhere in between, using the right moisturiser can transform your skin! But with so many options out there, finding the one made for you isn’t always simple.
Good news: we’ve broken it down for you based on your skin type and concern.
How to Match Your Moisturiser to Your Skin Type & Concerns
Before diving in, take a moment to assess your skin:
Is it dry or just dehydrated?
Are you oily all over or just shiny in the T-zone?
Do you need anti-ageing benefits or help with breakouts?
Dermalogica has a solution for each of these – and then some!

Q: Can oily skin skip moisturiser? Oily skin needs hydration too – just opt for an oil-free formula like Active Moist.
Q: What’s the difference between dry and dehydrated skin? Dry skin lacks oil; dehydrated skin lacks water. You can actually have oily and dehydrated skin at the same time!
Q: Can I use a moisturiser with SPF as my only sunscreen? Yes, if it has SPF 30 or higher and you apply enough. Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 is a great all-in-one option!
Q: I have sensitive skin. Will moisturisers make it worse? Not if you choose the right one! Calm Water Gel and Stabilizing Repair Cream are designed specifically for sensitive, easily irritated skin.
