What the gurus are saying

This nightweight cream earns praise for its elegant, nourishing texture without stickiness or heaviness, and for visibly calming irritated and dry skin. The essential oils may trigger breakouts in sensitive skin, however, so this isn't ideal for anyone prone to irritation.

"I loved using that Dermalogica, the texture is absolutely gorgeous and it's chock full of essential oils. But will I repurchase it? No, because I feel like another cream gives me that same really rich sensation. I also had more breakouts on that side, which might be explained by the essential oils in it, since I have a bit of sensitive skin."

"Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Cream is a really nice daily vitamin rich moisturizer that helps to treat and visibly diminish the signs of irritated skin stressed skin dryness that can lead to accentuation of fine lines and wrinkles. It's a nightweight elegant texture that is nourishing but not sticky or thick or heavy. It has an ACCE multivitamin complex that helps to neutralize free radicals and support your skin barrier at the same time, a peptide blend that really helps to reduce that fatigue skin and help to support skin barrier function and also at the same time visibly reducing the dry skin that contributes to appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and then provitamin B5 and niacinamide that we know is calming soothing. Niacinamide also has great barrier support properties, so it's a moisturizer that is great for daily use."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
