Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream 100ml
Description
Description
Value size hydrating day cream with Active HydraMesh Technology
With a moisturizer applied twice daily, every milliliter counts double. Those who have used the Skin Smoothing Cream for a while and know their skin reacts calmly recognize the pattern: the standard size is empty again after about three months. A larger size is then not a luxury but logical — more continuity per purchase, a lower price per milliliter, and fewer packaging movements over the years.
The Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream in the 100 ml size is precisely tailored for this. With twice daily use, the volume lasts on average five to six months — nearly half a year without reordering. Per milliliter, this is significantly more economical than the 50 ml standard size, and the Active HydraMesh Technology in the formula remains active on the skin throughout this period. A thoughtful choice for those who have adopted the cream as a regular part of their morning and evening routine, or for those who share it with a partner or family member using the same moisturizer.

Active ingredients
Active HydraMesh Technology: The core technological ingredient of the new generation Skin Smoothing Cream. At the molecular level, it forms a fine mesh network on the skin surface that holds water and releases it gradually over 48 hours. With long-term use over months — as this size allows — a lasting improvement builds in how well the skin retains its own moisture. A cumulative effect that only shows with consistent use.
Hyaluronic Acid Complex in Multiple Molecular Sizes: Sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate work at different skin levels. Larger molecules bind superficially and retain moisture, while smaller ones penetrate deeper and hydrate from within. For those who use the cream consistently for six months, this layered action provides structurally better hydration than moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid in only one form.
Saccharide Isomerate: A plant-based humectant derived from sugar beets that binds to the skin and actively attracts moisture for up to 72 hours. An ingredient that truly proves its value with daily repeated use — the skin continuously draws in moisture, even between applications.
Soothing herbal complex with arnica, ivy, lady’s mantle, eyebright, and elderflower: Five plant extracts that together reduce redness and counteract mild irritations. With continuous use over months, the cumulative soothing effect builds up — the skin gradually becomes less reactive to external stimuli instead of becoming more sensitive as with some other long-term products.
Grape seed extract and grape seed oil: One of the richest plant sources of proanthocyanidins — antioxidants with an effect up to fifty times stronger than vitamin C. Actively protects the skin against oxidative damage from UV light and pollution. With daily use over years, this type of protection is especially valuable because the cumulative antioxidant effect directly influences how the skin ages.
Aloe vera extract and cucumber fruit extract: Two cooling and soothing plant ingredients that soften and gently hydrate the skin. A trusted base in the formula that makes the cream comfortable to wear with every use.
Vitamins A, C, and E in stable forms: Ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) work synergistically as antioxidants and support each other’s function. Vitamin A in a mild form promotes cell renewal without the irritating effects of a retinol product.
Phospholipids, phytosterols, and linoleic acid: A complex of fat components that mimic and structurally support the natural skin barrier. With long-term use, these ingredients replenish skin lipids lost due to aging, retinol use, or climate factors.
Trehalose: A natural sugar that protects skin cells from drying stress. Especially valuable with regular exposure to air conditioning or a dry climate — situations where you tend to go through a large tube faster.
Cananga (ylang-ylang) and bitter orange blossom: The plant-based fragrance components that give the cream its characteristic mild, floral aroma. Deliberately subtle so the scent never overpowers daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much more cost-effective is the 100 ml size compared to the 50 ml?
Per milliliter, the 100 ml size is significantly more cost-effective than two separate 50 ml tubes. For those who use the Skin Smoothing Cream daily, this means a noticeable saving annually. Additionally, you need to reorder less often — on average once every five to six months instead of once every three months.
How long does a 100 ml tube last with daily use?
With twice daily use by one person, a 100 ml tube lasts on average five to six months. When shared by two adults, three months. If you use it only in the morning or only in the evening, it can last a year or longer.
Does the Active HydraMesh Technology remain active throughout the usage period?
Yes. The formula is stably developed and remains fully active long after opening, provided the tube is stored in a dry place at room temperature. The shelf life after opening is indicated on the packaging — for this size, more than enough for one user.
Is this large size suitable for those who have not used the Skin Smoothing Cream before?
For a first introduction, we recommend the 15 ml or 50 ml size. The 100 ml size is an investment for those who are sure the cream suits their skin. Only then does the price advantage really come into play.
Can I share the Skin Smoothing Cream with my partner?
Certainly, that is a common reason to choose the 100 ml size. The cream is suitable for all skin types ranging from combination to lightly dry skin and can easily be used by two adults. Keep in mind that the tube will then last about three months instead of six.
How should I best store the tube?
Store the tube at room temperature in the bathroom cabinet or on the vanity table, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storage on a windowsill or near a heat source. The tube itself is deliberately designed to protect the contents from light exposure and oxidation.
Does the texture change during the usage period?
No, the formula remains consistent in texture and effect from the first to the last portion. However, the cream can feel a bit firmer at low room temperatures — warming it between your fingertips for a few seconds solves this.
Is the 100 ml size also suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The soothing herbal complex with arnica, ivy, lady's mantle, eyebright, and elderflower makes the formula suitable for most sensitive skin types. Do you have very reactive skin? Then test with a small size first before investing in this volume.
