Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream 50ml is a lightweight, intensely hydrating water cream built around the concept of "collagen banking" — preserving the collagen and elastin your skin already has, while helping to build more for the future. The formula is clinically proven to boost collagen by 44% and elastin by 56% (in vitro vs untreated skin), with visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in as little as 3 days. At its core is a multi-peptide complex featuring Collagen Amino Acids, Zinc Glycinate, Carnosine Dipeptide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-37, and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl), which work together to fight oxidative stress, support structural protein production, and help delay visible signs of skin ageing. Dermalogica's signature water-burst technology — infused with mineral-rich marine spring water — activates on contact to deliver moisture-rich peptides and humectants deep into the skin. Extremophilic Red Algae and White Clover Extract visibly firm and smooth, while Biofermented Radish Root Extract strengthens the skin barrier for lasting resilience and bounce. Lightweight enough for all skin types including oily and combination, this water cream absorbs instantly without heaviness or residue. Vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens, artificial fragrances, or mineral oil. Shop now at dPharmacy for fast delivery across Ireland.

What's Inside? Key Ingredients of Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream
Collagen Amino Acids — the building blocks of collagen protein. These amino acids help support the skin's existing collagen framework and provide the raw materials needed for ongoing structural integrity, contributing to a visibly plumper, firmer complexion.
Zinc Glycinate — a bioavailable form of zinc that helps protect against oxidative stress and supports collagen and elastin preservation. Zinc plays a key role in the enzymatic processes involved in maintaining structural protein integrity within the skin.
Carnosine Dipeptide — a naturally occurring dipeptide with potent antioxidant properties. Carnosine helps defend against glycation (sugar-induced protein damage) and free radical degradation of collagen, improving skin's resilience and smoothness.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 — a signalling peptide that helps stimulate the skin's natural ability to produce collagen, supporting firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl) — one of the most clinically studied anti-ageing peptides. Matrixyl stimulates the production of key extracellular matrix components including collagen types I, III, and IV, as well as fibronectin and hyaluronic acid.
Extremophilic Red Algae (Haematococcus Pluvialis) — a resilient microalgae rich in astaxanthin, one of the most potent natural antioxidants. Visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles while protecting against environmental oxidative damage.
White Clover Extract (Trifolium Repens) — works synergistically with red algae to visibly firm and smooth the skin, supporting elasticity and overall tone.
Biofermented Radish Root Extract (Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate) — a natural, fermentation-derived ingredient that moisturises, supports the skin barrier, and provides antimicrobial protection — locking in hydration for visible bounce.
Marine Spring Water — mineral-rich water that forms the base of Dermalogica's water-burst technology. Activates on contact to deliver peptides and humectants deep into the skin for prolonged hydration.
Sodium Hyaluronate — a low molecular weight form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates deeper into the skin to attract and retain moisture, supporting plumpness and reducing the appearance of dehydration lines.
Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters — ultra-hydrating esters that nourish the skin's moisture barrier and help maintain optimal hydration levels throughout the day.

Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream FAQs
What is collagen banking?
Collagen banking is a preventative skincare approach focused on preserving the collagen and elastin your skin already has, rather than just trying to rebuild what's already lost. Because collagen production naturally declines with age (approximately 1% per year from your mid-20s), and elastin is largely fixed from youth, protecting these structural proteins early helps maintain firmness, bounce, and skin resilience over time. Think of it as a savings account for your skin.
How is the Water Cream different from the Pro-Collagen Banking Serum?
The Banking Serum is a lighter-weight treatment step designed to be used under a moisturiser. The Water Cream is a standalone moisturiser that delivers deep hydration alongside the collagen-preserving peptide complex. The serum contains Polyglutamic Acid and Wild Indigo Extract, while the Water Cream features water-burst technology, Extremophilic Red Algae, and Biofermented Radish Root Extract. For maximum results, layer the serum underneath the Water Cream.
What skin types is this suitable for?
All skin types, including oily and combination. Despite being deeply hydrating, the water cream texture is lightweight and absorbs instantly without any heaviness, greasiness, or pore congestion. It is particularly suited to anyone concerned with premature ageing, fine lines, dehydration, or loss of firmness.
How quickly will I see results?
Immediately, skin feels hydrated, refreshed, and plump. Within 24 hours, skin looks smoother and more luminous. Visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles has been observed in as little as 3 days. For full collagen and elastin benefits, use consistently twice daily for at least 8 weeks.
Can I use this with retinol?
Yes. The Water Cream is a great moisturiser to pair with retinol products (such as Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum) in your evening routine. Its peptide complex and barrier-supporting ingredients help counteract the dryness and sensitivity that retinol can cause, while both products work on collagen from different angles.
Does this replace my SPF?
No. The Water Cream does not contain SPF. In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen such as Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50 or Prisma Protect SPF30. UV exposure is the single biggest driver of collagen degradation, so daily SPF is essential for any collagen banking routine.
Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Dermalogica is certified vegan and cruelty-free. The formula is also free from parabens, artificial fragrances, mineral oil, sulfates (SLS/SLES), phthalates, formaldehyde, and hydroquinone.
How long does a 50ml bottle last?
At 1-2 pumps per application, used twice daily, a 50ml bottle will last approximately 6-8 weeks.
What does the "water-burst" technology do?
The water-burst technology is a formulation technique where the cream releases a burst of mineral-rich marine spring water on contact with the skin. This instantly delivers moisture-rich peptides and humectants deep into the skin, providing immediate hydration and a plumping effect that lasts throughout the day.
Can I use this around the eyes?
The Water Cream can be applied around the orbital area, but for targeted eye concerns (puffiness, dark circles, crow's feet), pair it with a dedicated eye product such as Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream for best results.
Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream Review
The team at dPharmacy rate this as one of the most impressive moisturisers in the Dermalogica range. The "collagen banking" concept is not just marketing — it is backed by a seriously strong ingredient deck. You are getting five different peptides, Extremophilic Red Algae (astaxanthin), barrier-supporting fermented radish root, and hyaluronic acid in a single moisturiser. The water-burst texture is genuinely different to a standard cream — it feels almost weightless on application but delivers hydration that you can feel hours later. The clinical data is solid: 44% collagen boost and 56% elastin boost in vitro, plus visible fine line reduction at 3 days and smoother skin within 24 hours in human testing. This is a particularly strong choice for anyone in their late 20s to 40s who wants to get ahead of collagen loss before it becomes visible. If you already use the Pro-Collagen Banking Serum, this is the natural next step. If you are choosing between the two, the Water Cream works as a standalone moisturiser, making it the more practical option for anyone who wants to simplify their routine. Follow with SPF in the morning — the Water Cream does not contain sun protection.
