DESCRIPTION

SkinMedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free, noncomedogenic lotion built for skin that wants hydration without weight. Antioxidant vitamins C and E help defend against free radical damage, while sodium hyaluronate keeps skin comfortably hydrated all day, leaving a soft, non-greasy finish that layers cleanly under sunscreen and makeup.

It is fragrance-free and suited to normal, oily, combination, acne-prone and sensitive skin, which makes it the everyday moisturizer for anyone who finds richer creams too heavy.

Key ingredients

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate — a stable, lipid-soluble form of vitamin C and a free radical scavenger
Tocopheryl Acetate & Tocopherol — stabilized and natural vitamin E, important antioxidants
Sodium Hyaluronate — retains up to 40x its weight in water at the skin's surface
Panthenol — provitamin B5 that helps skin hold moisture and feel comfortable

How to use

Apply twice daily after cleansing, toning, and applying treatment products. Gently massage a small amount onto the face, and the neck and chest if desired. Avoid the eyes.

Why You'll Love It

A sheer, fast-absorbing lotion for skin that gets shiny or congested under richer creams but still needs real hydration and antioxidant protection.

Scroll to see more product features

Oil-Free & Noncomedogenic
Formulated without heavy oils and designed not to clog pores, so oily and breakout-prone skin can moisturize without paying for it later.
Antioxidant Defense
Stabilized vitamins C and E help neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution while the lotion hydrates.
All-Day Hydration
Sodium hyaluronate holds up to 40 times its weight in water at the surface, so skin stays comfortable without a greasy film.
Fragrance-Free
No added fragrance, which makes it an easy yes for sensitive skin and for layering alongside active treatments.
Clean Base for SPF & Makeup
It absorbs quickly and sits sheer, so sunscreen and foundation go on smoothly without pilling or slipping.
Light by Design
Very dry or mature skin may want more, especially in winter, and it has no SPF, so finish every morning with sunscreen.

Antioxidant Hydration

Key Ingredients

Scroll to see more ingredients

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Stable Vitamin C
A stable, lipid-soluble ester of vitamin C and an effective free radical scavenger. It brings antioxidant defense to a daily moisturizer without the sting or instability of straight ascorbic acid, and supports a brighter, more even-looking finish over time.
Tocopheryl Acetate & Tocopherol
Vitamin E Duo
Tocopheryl acetate is a stabilized ester of vitamin E and tocopherol is its natural, oil-soluble form. Together they act as antioxidants that help protect skin from free radical damage, and they pair naturally with the formula's vitamin C for broader antioxidant coverage.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Weightless Moisture
The salt form of hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in skin and can retain up to 40 times its weight in water at the surface. It is how Ultra Sheer hydrates without oils, keeping skin soft and comfortable while the finish stays light.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Dermal Repair Cream?

They sit at opposite ends of SkinMedica's moisturizer range. Ultra Sheer is an oil-free, fragrance-free lotion for normal, oily, combination and acne-prone skin that wants hydration without weight. Dermal Repair Cream is a rich, fragranced cream for dry, rough or environmentally stressed skin. Some clients use Ultra Sheer in summer and switch to Dermal Repair in winter, or use Ultra Sheer on an oily T-zone and a richer cream on drier cheeks.

Will it clog my pores or cause breakouts?

It is oil-free and formulated to be noncomedogenic, and SkinMedica positions it for oily and acne-prone skin. Any product can disagree with an individual, so if you are very breakout-prone, introduce it on its own for a couple of weeks before adding anything else new.

Does it contain fragrance or SPF?

It is fragrance-free. It does not contain sunscreen, so in the morning finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, such as SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield, as the final step.

Where does it fit in my routine?

It is the moisturize step. Cleanse, tone, apply your treatment products such as TNS Advanced+ Serum or Age Defense Retinol Complex, then apply Ultra Sheer to lock in hydration. In the morning, sunscreen always goes on last.

How long will one bottle last?

The 2 fl oz size typically lasts about two to three months with twice-daily use on the face. A small amount covers the whole face, so add a little more only if you also take it down the neck and chest.
