Dermalogica's Dynamic Skin Strengthening Serum is a nourishing multi-defence serum designed to enhance your skin's resilience against visible signs of ageing.
This milky serum is powered by BioShield technology, which combines a biomimetic peptide, antioxidants, and squalane to fortify the skin's natural barrier defenses. Evergreen extract, derived from a climate-resilient tree, helps improve skin's elasticity and provides a redensified appearance. Cotton thistle and upcycled tangerine extract work together to restore the skin's barrier, aiding in recovery and resistance to ageing indicators. Additionally, a blend featuring red microalgae and polyglutamic acid delivers hydration for more supple, healthy-looking skin, while botanical extracts offer soothing benefits. This serum is ideal for individuals seeking to strengthen their skin's defence against ageing triggers and maintain a nourished, resilient complexion.
