Gritty Pretty Real Reviews: Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream

by GRITTY PRETTY - In partnership with Dermalogica

Dermalogica’s new cream is a sensitive skin hero.

We all know by now that keeping our skin barrier healthy and functioning is the foundation of radiant complexions. However, unfortunately for some of us, keeping our skin happy isn’t always easy. Sensitive skin can be difficult to manage and finding products that don’t cause flare ups or irritation can become exhausting. We hope to test new products and find one that our skin loves, but being left with unpleasant reactions can often be a hit to our confidence. I know what you’re thinking–if only there were a hero product that could break these sensitive skin patterns. Well, you’re in luck.

Say hello to the new Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream, an ultra-soothing cream here to strengthen and support our skin. Containing Dermalogica’s proprietary ceramide-building complex, the cream works to strengthen sensitive skin. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids (or fats) that make up a large portion of our skin. Best known for their hydrating properties, ceramides are added to skincare to restore, protect and strengthen the skin. So of course, Dermalogica’s new Stabilizing Repair Cream is full of them.

Not only that, but the cream is packed with other ultra-soothing ingredients like Resurrection Plant, Tasmania Lanceolata Extract and Boerhavia Diffusa Root that work to relieve symptoms like redness, itchiness and discomfort. Skin-nourishing Cica supports the skin’s resilience and helps it to become less-reactive over time, meaning you can spend more time loving your skin and less time worrying about sensitivities. Whether caused by genetics or lifestyle and environmental factors, Dermalogica’s Stabilizing Repair Cream is sure to be sensitive skin’s new best friend.

Sound too good to be true? Don’t just take our word for it. We put the Dermalogica Stabilizing Repair Cream to the test by having 20 of our wonderful Gritty Pretty Real Reviews Members trial the product over the last month. And, now they’re ready to share their thoughts.
