Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow Hydrating Cream Cleanser, 5.1 fl oz — moisture-binding, barrier-support

Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow Cleanser is a moisture-bonding cream cleanser that hydrates, softens, and preps skin for serums and moisturizers.

This hydrating face wash uses Cellular HydraBond technology with positively charged hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture, while murumuru butter and oat-derived amino acids lift impurities without stripping. The rich, cream-to-milk texture rinses clean, leaving skin feeling nourished and looking luminous from the very first use. It’s formulated to support the skin’s barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss, making it a solid first step in a hydration-focused routine.

How does this cleanser boost moisture compared with regular washes?

The formula contains a Phyto Mucin blend plus 10% glycerin and positively charged hyaluronic acid that work together to draw water into the skin and lock it in. Specialized fatty acids support ceramide production, which helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier and reduce moisture loss.

• Cellular HydraBond tech with positively charged hyaluronic acid for water retention
• 10% glycerin and Phyto Mucin blend attract and hold hydration
• Fatty acids help support ceramide synthesis for a stronger barrier

Will it remove makeup and impurities without drying my skin?

Yes — the creamy formula contains murumuru seed butter and jojoba esters that dissolve oils, makeup, and daily grime while softening the skin. Oat amino acids and a gentle rinse-away texture ensure cleansing feels comfortable, not tight.

• Murumuru butter melts away oil-based impurities
• Jojoba ester helps rinse away residues without stripping
• Oat amino acids soothe and support a smooth finish

How do I use Magnetic AfterGlow Cleanser for best results?

Apply to damp skin and massage gently to lift impurities and activate the moisture-bonding ingredients, then rinse thoroughly. Use morning and night to prepare skin for serums and moisturizers and to maintain a hydrated glow over time.

• Apply to damp skin — a little goes a long way
• Massage in circular motions to emulsify and release impurities
• Rinse completely and follow with treatment products

What skin types will benefit most from this cleanser?

While especially helpful for dry, dehydrated, or barrier-sensitive skin, the gentle, hydrating nature also suits normal and combination skin seeking a more nourishing cleanse. The non-stripping formula helps reduce trans-epidermal water loss, leaving skin comfortable rather than tight.

• Ideal for dry or dehydrated skin needing moisture retention
• Good for sensitive skin that reacts to harsher cleansers
• Also suitable for normal/combination skin wanting added softness

Who is this for: Dermalogica Magnetic AfterGlow Cleanser is designed for anyone who wants a nourishing daily cleanser that emphasizes hydration and barrier support. If your skin feels thirsty after washing, you wear light makeup, or you prioritize a gentle wash that prepares skin for serums and creams, this product is formulated to fit into both morning and evening skincare routines.
