Description
Firming body serum with Pro-NAD+ complex
The body deserves the same attention as the face — yet often it does not get it. The skin on the arms, thighs, knees, and abdomen loses firmness over the years, becomes thinner, and can develop a paper-like, crepe texture. Hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, and the natural decline in cellular energy accelerate this process. A regular body lotion provides hydration but no active firming effect.
The Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Sculptor is an advanced body serum that introduces a new category in body care: skincare at facial serum level, but formulated for the body. The serum has a light, liquid texture that absorbs quickly without a sticky layer, with a refreshing, subtly citrus scent from essential oils. With daily use, the skin becomes visibly firmer, smoother, and tighter — especially in areas prone to sagging.
Benefits
- Firms and lifts the skin visibly thanks to the innovative Pro-NAD+ complex
- Reduces the visibility of crepe-like skin on arms, thighs, and knees
- Provides an immediate smooth, filter-like effect thanks to honey locust extract
- Protects against oxidative stress with biomimetic carnosine
- Light texture that absorbs quickly and is suitable for daily use
Active ingredients
Pro-NAD+ complex: NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that plays a central role in the energy metabolism of skin cells. With age, NAD+ levels decrease, causing cells to renew more slowly and the skin to lose its resilience. This complex supports the natural energy process of skin cells, making them function more actively and the skin visibly firmer and more toned. A scientifically backed approach to skin aging from within the cell itself.
Microalgae (Nannochloropsis Oculata) & rice protein: This combination provides a firming and moisturizing effect at the cellular level. Microalgae are rich in amino acids, peptides, and minerals that support skin structure. Hydrolyzed rice protein forms a breathable film on the skin surface that immediately firms and retains moisture — an effect noticeable both immediately and in the long term.
Honey locust extract (Gleditsia Triacanthos): This plant-based ingredient is responsible for the serum's immediate filter-like effect. The seed extract temporarily fills in fine skin imperfections and smooths the surface, making the skin look instantly firmer — similar to a glow filter, but on your skin itself. Ideal for areas with crepe-like texture such as the upper arms, knees, or abdomen.
Biomimetic carnosine: Carnosine is a dipeptide naturally found in the body and known as one of the most powerful antioxidants against skin aging. The biomimetic variant is optimized for topical application and protects collagen and elastin fibers against glycation — a process where sugars bind to proteins and cause the skin to lose elasticity. An ingredient that keeps the skin youthful at the molecular level.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Strengthens the skin barrier, reduces the visibility of red or brown spots on the body, and helps even out skin tone. A versatile ingredient that works well with the other active substances in the serum.
Co-enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone): A natural antioxidant that supports cellular energy and helps protect the skin from oxidative damage. Together with carnosine and Pro-NAD+, it forms a triple anti-aging network at the cellular level.
Jojoba esters (hydrolyzed): Help the skin retain moisture without leaving a greasy layer. The ester form absorbs quickly and strengthens the skin barrier, making the skin feel smoother and more resilient after each application.
Caffeine: Stimulates microcirculation on the skin surface and contributes to a temporary firming, decongestant effect — especially noticeable on areas like the upper thighs and upper arms.
Ginger root extract & bisabolol: Ginger stimulates blood circulation and gives a slight warming, energizing sensation upon application. Bisabolol from chamomile soothes the skin and reduces the chance of irritation, making the serum suitable for regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I also use this serum on my face?
No. Dynamic Skin Sculptor is specifically formulated for the body, and the concentrations of certain ingredients — including essential oils — are adjusted for the thicker skin of arms, legs, and torso. For the face, use a facial serum from the same Dynamic Skin line.
When will I see results?
The filter-like effect of honey locust extract is immediately visible after the first application. With daily use, 90% of users notice a noticeable firming effect on treated areas within two weeks (consumer perception study, two applications per day). The cellular effects of Pro-NAD+ and carnosine build up over weeks to months.
Which areas does this serum work best on?
The Dynamic Skin Sculptor is developed for areas showing the first signs of sagging or crepe-like texture: upper arms, knees, thighs, upper legs, abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss, and optionally the décolleté as a supplement to your facial routine. Focus on these areas during massage with upward movements.
Is this a replacement for my body lotion?
Not necessarily. The serum offers active effects on firmness and texture, but for very dry skin, an additional body lotion can be beneficial. In that case, apply the Dynamic Skin Sculptor first, let it fully absorb, and then finish with your body lotion. For normal and combination skin, the serum alone is sufficient.
What does the serum smell like?
The serum contains a blend of essential oils — including rosewood, geranium, eucalyptus, sandalwood, and juniper — which provide a fresh, subtly spicy scent with a light citrus note. The fragrance is not overpowering and fades after absorption. No synthetic perfumes have been added.
Is it suitable for menopausal skin?
Absolutely. During and after menopause, the skin on the body loses collagen, elastin, and firmness faster due to declining estrogen levels. The combination of Pro-NAD+ complex, carnosine, and microalgae targets these changes and helps support skin structure during a life phase when regular body lotions fall short.
Can I use this serum during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The serum contains essential oils and caffeine. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, we recommend consulting your midwife or skin therapist before using the serum. Many women actually use it after pregnancy to support the skin structure on the abdomen.
Can the serum cause irritation on sensitive skin?
The formula contains essential oils that can cause irritation on very reactive or sensitive skin. Always perform a patch test on a small area first (for example, the inside of the elbow) and wait 24 hours before applying the serum to larger areas.
