Clinically tested face + body serum that helps relieve redness and dryness in eczema-prone, reactive, and irritated skin. This quick-relief serum immediately moisturizes to help relieve signs of sensory irritation such as itching, stinging, and tightness*. It works to fortify the skin’s moisture barrier — building a hydration reservoir that helps defend against future sensitivity.

Colloidal Oatmeal helps relieve itching and moisturizes to reduce tightness. A cooling sensory blend with Northern Truffle Mushroom Extract helps comfort skin. Encapsulated Calcium replenishes while Ground Cherry, Bisabolol, and Ginger help repair damage to skin's moisture barrier. Resurrection Plant hydrates, replenishes, and restores skin’s resilience. A Biomimetic Complex with skin-replenishing lipids, phytosterols, and ceramide-like compounds deeply nourishes, helps seal in moisture, and leaves skin supple. A blend of prebiotic Glycerin and Avena Extract moisturizes and supports skin’s microbiome.

*Results after 30 minutes. Based on a consumer perception evaluation within a clinical study, 33 subjects, 2 applications/day for 4 weeks.

FAQ

What is Stabilizing Repair Serum?

Stabilizing Repair Serum is a clinically tested face and body serum formulated for eczema-prone, reactive, and irritated skin to help relieve redness, dryness, and sensory irritation such as itching, stinging, and tightness.

What are the key active ingredients and how do they help?

Key actives include 1% colloidal oatmeal (a skin protectant that helps relieve itching and moisturizes), an encapsulated calcium replenisher, a biomimetic complex with lipids and ceramide-like compounds to help seal in moisture, and a cooling sensory blend with Northern Truffle Mushroom Extract. Additional botanicals such as ground cherry, bisabolol, ginger, resurrection plant, glycerin, and Avena extract support barrier repair, hydration, and the skin microbiome.

Can I use this serum on both my face and body?

Yes. The serum is formulated for both face and body use and is suitable for targeted areas of reactive or irritated skin.

How and when should I use Stabilizing Repair Serum?

Apply to clean skin and allow the serum to absorb before following with the rest of your routine. Use twice daily for ongoing support and symptom relief.

How quickly will I notice relief?

Many people notice sensory relief (reduced itching, stinging or tightness) shortly after application due to the cooling sensory blend and colloidal oatmeal. If symptoms worsen or persist for more than seven days, or clear up and return within a few days, stop use and consult a doctor as advised in the product warnings.

Can I use this serum with prescription topical treatments (for example topical steroids) or with other active ingredients?

If you are using prescription topical treatments, other strong actives (like prescription retinoids), or have complex skin conditions, consult your prescribing clinician or dermatologist before combining products. When introducing any new product, consider patch testing and monitor the treated area for irritation.

Reviews

Really is Immediate!

"I absolutely love this serum. I live in Idaho, where it goes from being extremely hot to cold and snowing. Although this can be used for your face, I have been using this for my body primarily on the back of my arms for eczema. It truly is instant. It feels like it erases the bumps immediately. It does not leave a sticky residue and there is no scent which I love. It feels soft, soothing, and moisturizing, and almost leaves a cooling feeling when applied. I definitely recommend."

— Taylor (5/5)

Wonderful for Angry Skin!

"I was gifted by dermalogica the "Stabilizing Repair Face + Body Serum" and I am a big fan of it. I have struggled with redness and cracked knuckles for years because of washing my hands frequently and I've tried many things to help. This serum has been effective almost immediately to relieve redness. I've applied it in the evenings before bed and when I wake up, my skin is noticeably less angry and red. A little goes a long way, and the pump dispenser makes it easy to not use too much product."

— Kelsey (5/5)

Great!

"This stabilizing repair face + body serum from dermalogica has worked wonders on my skin. I have very sensitive irritable skin, and the summer wreaks havoc on it. I love that this has really helped calm and soothe my skin. My skin feels healthy and looks so great. complimentary from dermalogica gifted by dermalogica"

— Whitney (5/5)

Soothing and lightweight

"Gifted by Dermalogica. I really like how lightweight and soothing this serum feels on my skin. It absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. My skin feels softer, calmer, and nicely moisturized after using it. I also love how comfortable and gentle it feels, especially when my skin needs a little extra care."

— Naila M. (5/5)

Love it!

"I absolutely love this serum from Dermalogica! My knees and elbows are always so dry, and this has helped so much. It leaves my skin feeling smoother, softer, and much more hydrated. It’s become a product I reach for whenever my skin feels dry or needs a little extra nourishment. complimentary from dermalogica"

— Angela (5/5)

Calming and soothing

"This thick serum is fantastic for calming down redness on your face, and it works so well under makeup without causing any irritation. It's packed with soothing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, squalane, and plant extract. The only drawback is the bottle size; it's a bit too small if you're trying to use it on larger areas of your body. I used it to calm my skin down after an adverse reaction to another skincare product. gifted by dermalogica"

— Carina (4/5)

Great barrier serum!

"complimentary from dermalogica. I tried this relief cream for about 10 days now and I think its great for temporary relief. It is not a treatment for eczema. It helped with itching and hydration purposes. I uploaded two pictures to show before and afters of just using the serum and you can see it got worse but during this time, it did not itch as bad, get flaky or start to bleed. It’s a great addition to a routine, although I think any thick moisturizer could do this."

— Brianna (5/5)

Works great

"This serum has been a lifesaver for my sensitive skin. It feels lightweight but deeply nourishing, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling calm, soft, and hydrated. I noticed less redness and irritation after consistent use, and it layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup. A great option for anyone looking to strengthen their skin barrier gifted by dermalogica"

— Anna P. (5/5)
