2025 has already delivered some seriously exciting skincare, and the latest launch from Dermalogica, the Multivitamin Power Recovery Cream, has been my newest test subject.
What is it?
A moisturiser for stressed skin.
What Do I Think?
If you loved their Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque, this one’s for you. It’s a vitamin-loaded daily moisturiser designed to rescue stressed-out skin – whether from harsh weather, central heating, or a little too much enthusiasm with the actives. It tackles fine lines, dehydration, and dullness while strengthening the skin’s barrier, making it a godsend for anyone whose complexion feels tight, reactive, or just generally underwhelming.
The ingredients list is a skincare all-star team: vitamins A, C, and E to shield and nourish, freshwater microalgae with astaxanthin to firm and lift, a peptide blend to smooth fine lines, and B5 and niacinamide to soothe and hydrate. Add to that a hit of antioxidants to defend against environmental stressors, and you’ve got yourself a pretty formidable skin repair squad.
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “Sounds like a greasy nightmare.” But no. This is where it shines. It has that deliciously thick, balmy texture, but instead of sitting on the skin like a heavy blanket, it melts in beautifully, leaving your face comfortable, bouncy, and – crucially – not greasy.
For minimalists, this is an ideal one-and-done product. It packs in enough nourishment to make layering unnecessary and leaves skin looking glowy, plump, and healthy. If you’re dry-skinned, you’ll be obsessed. If you’re normal to combination, you’ll still appreciate its rich-but-not-suffocating formula, especially in colder months.
Would I recommend?
When my skin threw a tantrum earlier this year, the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Cream sorted it out fast – calming, hydrating, and bringing back its glow. It’s a luxury buy, no doubt, but one that earns its price tag by working quickly. Once your skin’s back on track, you can switch to something cheaper, but while you need it, this stuff is gold.
