Description
Smart serum for daily routine with changing skin
The skin is not a static organ. It constantly changes throughout a single day under the influence of temperature, hormones, stress, pollution, and UV. One area of the face may become dehydrated, while another zone may show redness or pigmentation spots. A standard serum treats the whole face equally, while the skin actually demands targeted, location-specific care.
Dermalogica Smart Response Serum was developed with SmartResponse technology: four encapsulated active ingredients that only activate when the skin signals for it. The 30ml size is the standard, suitable for those who want to integrate the serum into their daily morning and evening routine and get about three months of use.
Benefits
- Intelligently responds to micro-changes in the skin via SmartResponse technology
- Hydrates precisely where the skin is dry thanks to oligosaccharides from beta-glucan
- Brightens pigment spots in targeted areas with hydrolyzed wheat flour
- Soothes redness and stress with antioxidant from Japanese cornelian cherry
- Reduces fine lines with plant-based mannose-6-phosphate that firms the skin
Active ingredients
Oligosaccharides from hydrolyzed beta-glucan: A biotechnologically active ingredient that responds to dehydration signals in the skin. When a specific skin area loses moisture, the ingredient delivers extra hydration exactly there. Beta-glucan is known for its ability to bind up to a thousand times its own weight in water and simultaneously strengthens the skin barrier.
Hydrolyzed wheat flour (arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides): This ingredient activates in areas where excessive pigmentation occurs. It inhibits melanin production and helps reduce the visibility of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Unlike classic pigment treatments, it works only where needed, without burdening the rest of the face.
Cornus Officinalis (Japanese cornelian cherry) extract: A powerful antioxidant from traditional Asian medicine. It recognizes oxidative stress and free radicals in the skin and targets them specifically. It also helps reduce redness and sensitivity, ideal for reactive skin areas such as the cheeks or sides of the nose.
Plant-based Mannose-6-Phosphate: A sugar molecule that signals the skin to support collagen and elastin. It responds to the first signs of skin aging and helps soften fine lines and firm the skin. Especially effective on areas around the mouth and forehead.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Works over the entire face as a regulating base. It strengthens the skin barrier, reduces pores, regulates sebum production, and inhibits pigmentation. Niacinamide forms the foundation on which the four SmartResponse actives do their work.
Hydrolyzed Beta-Glucan & Squalene: Beta-glucan soothes immediately and restores the barrier, squalene is a skin-friendly lipid that deeply nourishes without weighing down the skin. Together they provide a light, fast-absorbing texture that works well under a day cream or sunscreen.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the 30ml bottle last approximately?
Using one pump twice a day, the 30ml bottle lasts about three months. This equates to one treatment from morning to evening with enough serum for face and neck. If you want a greater benefit per milliliter, the 60ml jumbo is suitable for long-term use.
How do I know if the serum really works on different areas?
The effect is not visually noticeable during application because the microcapsules only react to signals beneath the skin. After several weeks of consistent use, you will see results on multiple fronts simultaneously: more hydration, a more even skin tone, less redness, and smoother fine lines.
Can I combine this serum with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. Smart Response Serum is a building base serum that prepares and strengthens the skin. You can use vitamin C in the morning in the same routine, preferably retinol in the evening after the serum. For sensitive skin, alternate both actives instead of using them simultaneously.
Is this serum suitable for my skin type?
Smart Response Serum is developed for all skin types because the formula adapts to what your specific skin needs. Whether you have dry, combination, sensitive, or mature skin, the encapsulated actives activate only where relevant.
When will I see the first results?
Hydration and soothing are often visible within one to two weeks. For reducing pigmentation spots and fine lines, consistent use for an average of six to eight weeks is needed, as the skin requires time for structural renewal.
