Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream 50ml

Ceramide cream for sensitive skin with redness

A chronically sensitive skin doesn’t necessarily need more moisture — it needs a stronger barrier. The outer layer of the skin consists of a carefully built structure of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids that acts like a brick wall: as long as that wall remains intact, the skin stays calm. In sensitive skin, that wall is structurally loose, allowing external stimuli to penetrate and cause the skin to become red, itchy, or tight again.

The Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream 50ml is the standard size of this barrier-repairing cream and intended as a daily staple in the sensitive skin routine. The balm-like texture melts into the skin and delivers the complete package of ceramides, plant sterols, and soothing botanical extracts in one layer. The 50ml size fits in a toiletry bag, stays fresh during the usage period after opening, and provides enough supply for about three months when applied twice daily.

Advantages

• Soothes visible redness and sensitivity within seconds after application
• Restores the lipid content of the skin barrier with a ceramide-building complex
• Increases the skin’s tolerance threshold to external stimuli with prolonged use
• Nourishes dry, irritated areas without leaving a greasy film
• Suitable for use under makeup and sun protection

Active ingredients

Ceramide-Building Complex: The signature of this formula. This patented complex supplies the skin with ceramide precursors that support the natural production of its own ceramides. Unlike a cream that only adds moisture to the surface, this formula structurally rebuilds the barrier from within the cells themselves.

Myrothamnus Flabellifolia (Resurrection Plant): A South African plant that can survive for months in a completely dried state and revives within hours upon contact with water. In skincare, the extract transfers this hydration capacity to the skin and strengthens its resilience against environmental stress.

Tasmannia Lanceolata (Tasmanian pepperberry): A unique botanical active ingredient from Tasmania that has anti-inflammatory effects and specifically targets the signaling substances of neurogenic sensitivity. With prolonged use, the average reactivity of the skin visibly decreases.

Squalane and Jojoba oil: Two plant-based lipids structurally similar to natural skin oil. They are quickly absorbed, seal small barrier disruptions, and provide the comfortable, non-greasy finish of the cream.

Centella Asiatica (Cica): A traditional Asian herb used for decades in skin-repairing dermatology. Cica accelerates skin barrier recovery and soothes sensitivity in chronic redness and rosacea.

Shea butter and Boerhavia Diffusa root extract: The combination of a rich nourishing butter and an Ayurvedic anti-inflammatory extract makes this cream uniquely suitable for skin that shows both dryness and sensitivity. Shea butter locks in moisture, Boerhavia soothes from within.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Stabilizing Repair Cream too rich for combination skin?

For most combination skin types, the ointment-like texture is perfectly suitable: a small pump is enough, it melts into the skin and leaves no greasy film. For a pronounced oily zone in the T-zone, you can apply the cream more thinly or focus on the sensitive cheeks and jawline.

Can I use this cream after a dermatological treatment?

Yes, this cream is often recommended after non-invasive cosmetic treatments such as chemical peels, IPL, or microneedling. The ceramide structure and plant-based lipids support the skin’s natural recovery process during the sensitive phase afterward.

How long does a 50ml bottle last approximately?

When applied twice daily with one pump each time, a 50ml bottle lasts about three months. This fits comfortably within the recommended period after opening and makes this size the logical choice for a regular daily routine.
