Dermalogica BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer 50ml

Description
Light vitamin C day cream for hydration, radiance, and even skin tone
A moisturizer that simultaneously hydrates, protects, and actively works towards a brighter skin tone — this requires more than a standard formula. Many day creams provide sufficient hydration but only at the surface, while active ingredients like vitamin C are often unstable by the time they reach the skin. The result is a complexion that looks cared for but never truly glows.
The Dermalogica BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer 50ml combines an ultra-stable vitamin C complex with advanced reactivation technology, five types of hyaluronic acid, squalane, and light-exfoliating ingredients in one light gel-lotion texture. The skin appears visibly brighter immediately after application and stays hydrated throughout the day — without a greasy or heavy feel.
Benefits
- Gives the skin a visible radiance boost immediately after application via Verbascum Thapsus Flower Extract
- Deeply hydrates with five different types of hyaluronic acid for sustained moisture retention
- Protects the skin against free radicals with an ultra-stable vitamin C complex with increased bioavailability
- Supports gentle cell renewal through phytic acid and pumpkin enzymes for a refined skin texture
- Light gel-lotion texture that absorbs quickly and feels comfortable under makeup and sunscreen
Active ingredients
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate & Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate: The ultra-stable vitamin C complex used throughout the BioLumin-C line, here enhanced with advanced reactivation technology that further increases bioavailability. The complex actively protects the skin against oxidative stress, reduces pigmentation, and contributes to a more even and brighter skin tone with daily use.
Five types of hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans): By adding hyaluronic acid in five molecular sizes, the formula reaches multiple skin layers simultaneously. From surface moisture retention to deeper hydration in the dermis — the result is plumper, fuller skin with less visible fine lines.
Squalane: A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that strengthens the skin barrier and reduces moisture loss. Squalane has a unique ability to penetrate deeply into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling, giving the gel texture its comfortable, silky finish.
Verbascum Thapsus Flower Extract (Mullein): This plant extract acts as an instant brightener in the formula — providing a visible radiance boost immediately after application, even before the long-term effects of vitamin C take effect.
Phytic Acid & Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Ferment Extract: Phytic acid is a gentle plant-based exfoliant that dissolves dead skin cells and evens skin tone. Combined with pumpkin enzymes from fermentation, it supports natural skin renewal without irritating the skin — also suitable for sensitive skin.
Ergothioneine: A powerful antioxidant amino acid naturally found in fungi and absorbed by the skin via specific transport proteins. It neutralizes free radicals at the cellular level and protects the skin from oxidative damage from within.
Centella Asiatica Extract: A soothing and restorative plant extract that strengthens the skin barrier and stimulates collagen production. Especially valuable in a formula with active ingredients, as it limits irritation and keeps the skin stable.
Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra): One of the most proven plant-based brighteners in skincare. Licorice root extract inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase responsible for pigment production, working synergistically with vitamin C for a more even skin tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer in combination with the BioLumin-C Serum?
Yes, the two products are specially developed to be used together. First apply the serum to the face and neck, let it absorb, then apply the gel moisturizer as the final step. Always add sun protection in the morning.
Is this product suitable for oily or combination skin?
Yes. The light gel-lotion texture contains no heavy oils and absorbs quickly without a greasy feel. The combination of squalane and five types of hyaluronic acid hydrates without clogging pores, making this size suitable even for oilier skin.
The formula also contains exfoliating ingredients — can I combine this product with other exfoliants?
The exfoliating action of phytic acid and pumpkin enzymes is mild, but it is wise to be cautious of buildup when using other active exfoliants — such as AHAs, BHAs, or retinol. Build up slowly and patch test if in doubt, especially with sensitive skin.
