Reviews
Love this!

Honestly no stars but I’m forced.
"The worst product I’ve purchased. I added to my daily routine but it irritated my skin when I used after my super rich moisturizer. I then tried after my serum as my daily moisturizer but it parched my skin badly like a sun burn, Rash everywhere and my nose was burned so bad that it dark and peeling like scales. I emailed to return and no one responded. Unacceptable! I use to get a monthly facial with your product but had to stop after this one!"
— Dee (1/5)

Q&A
Can you use just as a moisturizer
Hello Carol, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. Your skincare routine works best when built on a simple foundation of cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizer, and SPF. These steps protect and nourish your skin daily. To take your results further, we recommend adding a toner and serum. Toner refreshes and balances the skin, while serum provides powerful, targeted care to help prevent signs of aging and keep your complexion looking vibrant. Used together, they support both prevention and long-term maintenance. We offer free skin consultations via chat with our professional skin experts on https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us. We also offer free video consultations. Here is a link to book a free 20 minute video consultation with one of our professional skin therapists! https://book.squareup.com/appointments/k7tld5n6eu1pdc/location/L82JXPV66VRSC/services We look forward to speaking to you. Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Hello there and thank you for taking my question: I purchased the BioluminC and my face got really flakey and the flakes would just be there and not flake off, a Dermatologist said that I should not be using any C products on my face. I was wondering if C products are too much for sensitive skin as I love what C products benefits are
Hello Jennifer, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. To best assist you please book our video consultation so we can discuss your skin routine in more detail.

directions say to use after toner. Can I need to use my collagen boost or other serums under this? I normally layer 2-3 serums before SPF
Hello Dian, After cleansing and toning you may apply your serum, and then apply your biolumin c heat aging protector SPF50. However, In general, we do not suggest layering more than one serum. Active ingredients work best when they have access to the skin, and some serum formulas create a barrier which may prevent a second serum from penetrating the skin. For maximum benefit, we recommend incorporating more than one into your routine by using one in the AM and one in the PM. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Is this good for oily skin?
Hello Hope, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. Biolumin-C heat aging protector spf 50 is great for all skin types. However if you have oily and breakout prone skin we may have other moisturizers that are better suited for your specific skin goals or concerns. We would love to help you find the best moisturizer for your skin. We offer free skin consultations via chat with our professional skin experts on https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us.
