Dermalogica Active Moist lightweight oil-free daily moisturizer, 3.4 fl oz — fast-absorbing, matte finish

Dermalogica Active Moist is a lightweight, oil-free daily lotion that delivers immediate hydration without leaving a greasy finish or clogging pores.

This compact 3.4 fl oz moisturizer is formulated to provide water-based hydration with silk amino acids and botanical extracts that help smooth skin texture. Fast-absorbing and breathable, it layers well under sunscreen and makeup, making it a practical choice for everyday routines. The oil-free formula targets the look and feel of dryness while keeping breakouts and shine under control.

How does Active Moist hydrate without feeling heavy?

The formula focuses on lightweight, water-binding ingredients that attract and hold moisture at the skin’s surface rather than relying on oils. Silk amino acids and plant-derived extracts work together to improve skin texture while leaving a matte, natural finish.

• Water-based, oil-free lotion for breathable hydration
• Quick absorption reduces sticky or greasy residue
• Silk amino acids to help smooth and soften skin surface
• Botanical extracts that support an even feel and appearance

Will this moisturizer clog pores or increase breakouts?

Active Moist is formulated to be non-comedogenic and lightweight, reducing the risk of pore-clogging. Its oil-free nature and fast absorption help maintain a clear-feeling complexion for those prone to congestion.

• Oil-free composition minimizes pore blockage
• Light texture suitable for combination and oilier skin types
• Easy to layer under acne-targeted treatments or serums

How do I use this in a daily skincare routine?

Apply Active Moist after cleansing and toning while skin is slightly damp to lock in moisture. It pairs well with serums underneath and sunscreen on top for daytime protection.

• Use after cleansing and Multi-Active Toner for better absorption
• Apply a pea-sized amount across face and neck; blend evenly
• Layer sunscreen over it for daytime; use alone or with serums at night

What texture and finish should I expect?

The lotion has a silky, lightweight texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It delivers a natural, non-shiny finish that leaves skin feeling soft but not oily.

• Silky, lotion-like consistency for smooth application
• Fast-absorbing finish that feels breathable on skin
• Leaves a soft, matte-to-natural look ideal for makeup base

Who is this for: Dermalogica Active Moist is suited for people looking for everyday hydration without added oils—ideal for combination, normal, and oil-prone skin types who want a light, fast-absorbing lotion that smooths texture and works well under makeup. If you prefer richer creams or need targeted barrier repair, consider pairing this with richer night-specific treatments or consulting product options better suited to very dry skin.
