Dermalogica Acne Biotic Face Moisturizer 1.7 fl oz — lightweight gel with 0.5% salicylic acid & prebiotics for acne-prone skin

This non-greasy 1.7 fl oz gel moisturizer combines a small concentration of salicylic acid with targeted prebiotics and calming botanicals to address the common needs of acne-prone adult skin: fewer visible breakouts, improved texture, and steady hydration without heavy oils. It is designed to be layered into morning and evening routines to maintain clearer skin while supporting the skin’s natural microbiome and barrier.

How does Acne Biotic help control adult breakouts?

The formulation uses 0.5% salicylic acid to help exfoliate inside pores and encourage clearer-looking skin. Rather than stripping moisture, the gel base allows active ingredients to work while limiting excess oiliness that can exacerbate blemishes.

• 0.5% salicylic acid to support pore clearing and reduce congestion.
• Lightweight gel texture stays non-comedogenic and comfortable under makeup.
• Designed for daily use to help manage recurring adult acne tendencies.

What role do prebiotics and niacinamide play in this moisturizer?

Prebiotics like inulin and plant extracts in the formula nourish beneficial skin microbes, helping the skin environment remain balanced. Niacinamide complements this by smoothing texture and supporting the look of post-blemish discoloration for a more even appearance.

• Prebiotic blend (Indian Mulberry, agave-derived inulin) to support a resilient skin microbiome.
• Niacinamide to help even skin tone and reduce the appearance of marks.
• Synergy between microbiome support and barrier care for longer-lasting balance.

Will this moisturizer keep skin hydrated without feeling heavy?

Yes — the gel formulation provides hydration with ingredients like glycerin and jojoba, which lock in moisture without adding weighty oils. Plankton extract and botanical components help soothe irritation so skin feels refreshed and comfortable.

• Glycerin delivers humectant hydration that draws in moisture.
• Jojoba smooths texture while mimicking skin’s natural lipids.
• Bioengineered plankton extract and botanical actives reduce visible redness and excess shine.

How should I add Acne Biotic to my skin routine for best results?

Apply this moisturizer to cleansed, toned skin on the face and neck using gentle upward strokes. Use morning and evening; follow with a broad-spectrum SPF during daytime to protect treated skin and preserve results.

• Apply after cleansing and toning on dry skin.
• Use light upward motions to evenly distribute the gel moisturizer.
• In the morning, finish with sunscreen; at night, combine with your acne treatments as advised.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Acne Biotic Face Moisturizer is intended for adults seeking a daily, lightweight moisturizer that addresses breakouts while supporting skin balance and hydration. It’s suitable for oily to combination complexions, anyone wanting to minimize the feel of heavy creams, or users who prefer microbiome-friendly skincare that integrates easily into both morning and evening routines.
