Light moisturizer with bakuchiol, peptides, and plant stem cells
A full-fledged anti-aging moisturizer doesn’t have to be rich and heavy to deliver results. In fact, many skin types need a day cream that hydrates, protects, and actively improves the skin without clogging pores or leaving a greasy film. For combination skin, younger skin with early signs of aging, or skin that reacts poorly to rich creams, this is a challenge.
The DermaQuest Advanced 3D Moisturizing Complex solves this with a refined, airy texture that still performs at its best. Bakuchiol — a plant-based alternative to retinol — works together with multiple peptides, plant stem cells, a stable form of vitamin C, and ceramides to reduce pigmentation spots, smooth fine lines, and strengthen the skin barrier. The result is skin that looks instantly radiant and lifted and structurally improves over time.
Benefits
- Reduces pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone thanks to THD Ascorbate and bakuchiol
- Targets fine lines and expression wrinkles with a complex of five peptides
- Visibly firms the skin with plant stem cells and hydroxyapatite
- Strengthens the skin barrier with ceramide NG, beta-glucan, and shea butter
- Suitable for all skin types thanks to the airy, fast-absorbing texture
Active ingredients
Bakuchiol: A plant-based alternative to retinol derived from the Babchi plant. Bakuchiol stimulates cell renewal, improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and promotes collagen production — without the irritation or photosensitivity that can occur with retinol. This makes it especially suitable for sensitive skin and for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
THD Ascorbate (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate): A fat-soluble, highly stable form of vitamin C that can penetrate deeply into the skin. It brightens pigmentation spots, protects against free radicals, and stimulates collagen production. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, THD Ascorbate is stable and gentle — perfect for daily use under sun protection.
Peptide complex (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Hexapeptide-30, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester & Oligopeptide-68): Five peptides that each address a different aspect of skin aging. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) relaxes expression wrinkles, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 supports skin structure, and Oligopeptide-68 helps brighten the complexion — a well-considered combination within one moisturizer.
Plant stem cells (edelweiss & gardenia): Two exceptionally antioxidant-rich plant stem cells. Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum) grows at high altitudes and naturally has protective mechanisms against UV radiation and oxidative stress. Gardenia soothes and strengthens the skin barrier, making the moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin.
Ceramide NG, Beta-Glucan & Shea Butter: Three ingredients that together restore and strengthen the skin barrier. Ceramide NG replenishes the skin’s natural ceramide supply, beta-glucan soothes and supports the skin’s immune system, and shea butter provides essential fatty acids without weighing the skin down.
Ergothioneine & Lipochroman (Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate): Two of the most powerful antioxidants in modern skincare. They protect skin cells against oxidative stress, slow premature aging, and keep the skin vital and radiant under the influence of pollution, blue light, and UV radiation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between bakuchiol and retinol?
Bakuchiol delivers similar anti-aging benefits as retinol — it stimulates cell renewal, reduces fine lines, and improves skin texture — but without the typical side effects. It does not cause dryness, flaking, or photosensitivity and can therefore be used both morning and evening, year-round, and even during pregnancy.
Is this moisturizer sufficient for dry skin?
For normal to slightly dry skin, the Advanced 3D Moisturizing Complex is perfectly suitable thanks to the ceramides, shea butter, and peptides. For very dry or dehydrated skin, the DermaQuest Peptide Nourishing Cream is a better choice, or you can combine this moisturizer with a richer night cream in the evening.
Can I combine this moisturizer with other active serums?
Absolutely. The formula is deliberately developed to function as a complete day cream but can also be layered with an additional serum. For example, use a vitamin C serum under this moisturizer in the morning for extra antioxidant protection, or a peptide serum underneath in the evening for enhanced anti-aging effects.
