customer reviews

Really works like magic!

This Dermalogica smart response serum is like magic! I donâ€™t know how it knows what responses to use on my skin each day but my skin has never felt better. It goes on smooth and feels so lightweight on my skin. This was complimentary from Dermalogica

Multitasking must-have

I was keen to try this product as I love skincare that can multitask! The serum claims to respond to the changing needs of skin, activating key ingredients as required to boost hydration, tackle redness, increase firmness and improve brightness as required. Normally I object to being micromanaged but in this instance I'm happy to go with it. The serum is lightweight which is what I tend to look for, with an inoffensive scent and non greasy finish. Layers well between products and plays nicely with makeup if allowed to dry properly. My skin has improved in hydration and texture during the harsh winter conditions and I am confident that long term use will continue to produce satisfying results. The product packaging feels premium (which it had want to as it's not cheap). I was kindly gifted a sample for review but would definitely consider purchasing.

Expensive for ingredients

I received this product complimentary from Dermalogica for my honest review. As with all skincare, I try use products for a minimum of 6 weeks before making a decision about whether to continue with longer term use. I was not familiar with the key ingredients in this serum and am a bit skeptical of one product that claims to tighten, brighten, etc. all in one. Reviewing the ingredients, I noted glycerin and niacinamide which are moisturizing and brightening agents, respectively. Overall the packaging and serum texture is nice and am happy with it. The price point is on the higher side.

Like the feel of it on my skin. Too early to gauge improvement

Works wonders

I put it on morning and night with all my beauty dermalogica products, routinely. This cream is wonderful, itâ€™s smooth, silky texture and has worked wonders. My skin looks smoother, brighter, feels hydrated, And feels great. It doesnâ€™t feel greasy at all. Iâ€™ll definitely keep using this.
