I can't say enough good things about Beauty Affairs. I've been a loyal customer now for about three years and can't fault their delivery - it feels like I get VIP Express Post when I just make a regular order. I (now) do a lot of online shopping across the board (clothes, shoes, beauty, etc.) and Beauty Affairs stand out from every other vendor I have shopped with throughout COVID as fast, reliable, and essentially flawless in their supply chain when even the previously-good-ones have slowly fallen victim throughout 2021 to COVID disruptions and delays. Whatever they're doing, it works! I will only shop elsewhere for beauty, cosmetics, and perfume on the odd occasion they don't stock a brand I want, but apart from that, I say: MECCA, who? Sephora, what? ^.^

Caused an immediate reaction

I have reactive and sensitive skin, thus far Dermalogica products have not done me wrong in any way - Intensive Moisture Balance Moisturizer really has done wonders for me as a matter of fact. I was excited to try this product as a night cream - my skin runs incredibly dry (has my whole life), so the heaviness did not scare me. I have had reactions to unexpected ingredients before, but wasn't expecting it with this cream. My skin started burning immediately after applying this (I washed it off!) and left me with a very dry and angry red patch on the apple of my cheek. It took me about a full week to get things back to normal (and I have returned the product.)

Completely Transformed my Dry Skin!

If I could only keep one item in my skincare routine, this would be it! Before taking the plunge on this product, I was already starting to see fine lines on my forehead (at 27!). I figured the lines were just part of the normal aging process and there was nothing I could do about it. Boy was I wrong!Within just a week of using this product, my skin looked super happy and hydrated. The fine lines vanished and people are constantly complimenting me on how my skin looks. I’m 30 now and people are shocked when they find out because they think I’m barely old enough to have graduated college.I love this stuff and recommend it to everyone who is struggling with dry or dry combination skin!

Great for Dry Skin

This product is great for dry skin. It really leaves skin feeling moisturized and reduces flakiness. Some people have complained that it is difficult to apply, but it is no different than applying a thick zinc sunscreen that takes some time to absorb (applying to a damp face really helps). From my perspective, this product is a step up from Dermalogica's Intensive Moisture Balance Moisturizer. That said, 50 ml of this product costs double ($124 +tax) the amount of Intensive Moisture Balance ($64 +tax), and I'm not sure that this product is worth the additional cost... The product does not leave my skin significantly more moisturized than Intensive Moisture Balance. Additionally, I still wake up in the morning with dry patches and flaking skin around my mouth after ... MoreThis product is great for dry skin.

If you're mindful about cost but worried about dryness, then use Intensive Moisture Balance and apply 100% pure jojoba oil on top. Jojoba is very similar to sebum (the oil your body naturally produces), so it is usually safe for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin (like myself).

Great product but BEWARE of subscribing!!

This is the absolute BEST lotion for overnight. If I have a little blemish starting to appear, it’s gone the next morning. HOWEVER- think twice about using subscribe and save. They have neglected to send my free gifts with my subscribed purchase each time. It would have been WAY better for me to purchase outright because it was sent on Black Friday and the only product I received was the moisturizer. It’s expensive enough that I would have revived free shipping regardless of the subscription. If you subscribe you lose out BIG TIME. Get the most from these expensive (but totally worth it) products by cancelling all your subscriptions and order when you need it. The subscription just gives you disappointment and extra work.

Holy Grail

This is the best moisturizer I’ve ever used!! I wish it wasn’t so expensive but I will be purchasing it as long as I can ! It makes your skin moistures without feeling heavy , thick or sticky . I definitely have soft glowy skin after using this that does not look greasy . It wears so well under my foundation everyday and my skin looks better since using this and the vitamin c serum for the last few months . I don’t usually use a full pump during the day as I feel too much comes out so I use a little less (3 mini pumps) .FYI : I’m 38 but everyone thinks I’m in my early 20’s . That’s not due to this product but this product definitely helps as I’ve been getting carded more often since using it and it really does make your skin look more youthful while wearing it .

I love this product BUT...I refuse to keep buying it

This is the BEST moisturizer I have ever used - I have chronic dry skin and especially in the winter I need this thick deeply hydrating lotion. I love it - BUT here is why I will not buy it and would encourage others to reconsider the purchase. THE DISPENSER! For something SO expensive I am so incredibly disappointed with the pump - there is NO way to really use all of the product that is in the container. I have tried to pry off the top but I can't do it. For $90 I am really disappointed in the design of this product - I truly believe we are getting ripped off and I really saddens me because I love dermalogica and exclusively use their products. You can't tell when you are close to the end of the product and you are throwing away a bottle that we all know has more ... MoreThis is the BEST moisturizer I have ever used - I have chronic dry skin and especially in the winter I need this thick deeply hydrating lotion.

Please please please please fix this - I will buy it if you change the dispenser. I just refuse to waste my money again and throw away an amazing and very hydrating lotion.

OBSESSED

I would bathe in this moisturizer if I could. It is so thick (in the best possible way). A little is all you need. I use it both day and night. The texture is so silky, and you're left with a dewy glow. The way it plumps up my skin is like magic. Truly, when i wake up in the morning (even with terrible sleep) I am shocked at how nice and smooth, plump my skin is. I love to use this in my eye area as well. I am attaching a before (Oct 2022) and after (Jan 2023) to show the changes to date. Love, love, love this stuff even if the improvement is in my imagination, I still love the look and feel of this stuff on my face.

Perfect for my dry skin!

I received this Super Rich Repair complimentary from Dermalogica in exchange for my review. Let me start by saying I absolutely love Dermalogica. I’ve tried several products in their line and they’ve all been fantastic, quality products. This moisturizer was no different. The bottle is sleek and classic and feels good in my hand. The pump works great and I love that I don’t have to dip my fingers into a jar to get the product out. This definitely cuts down on the risk of bacteria being introduced into the product and I really appreciate this. A little bit of the product goes a long way so one or two pumps suffices for me. I use this in the morning and at night but I have very dry skin. I would recommend someone with normal skin to just use this at night to avoid ... MoreI received this Super Rich Repair complimentary from Dermalogica in exchange for my review.

But for those with dry skin, twice a day is fine. I mix it with my foundation in the morning and that’s been working great. There hasn’t been any pilling at all. I love this product so much. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Smells Rancid After Applied to Skin. YUCK!

I switched from using Dermalogica's Active Moist, a lotion I've used for 5+ years, to this product for more moisturizing action for day and night time use as I live in a very dry and hot climate (desert city). The cream does the job at keeping my skin moisturized all day without feeling greasy or experiencing any breakouts. However, the smell of the lotion turns into a rancid funky smell after it's applied to my face and I HATE IT! The funk stays with me all day. I don't think my body chemistry reacts well to this cream so I'm switching back to Active Moist. I LOVE the scent of the Active Moist cream and how it reacts to my body chemistry. I'll stick to reapplying throughout the day when needed. Lesson learned: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
