An intensive and heavier moisturizer formulated to repair the skin’s barrier and address mild sun damage through deep hydration.

Formulated for dry and very dry skin. Excellent for sun-damaged, rosacea-prone, and sensitive skin. Not recommended for oily or blemish-prone skin.

🛡 Rebuilds the barrier, not just the surface. Multi-ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol replenish the exact lipids dry and mature skin loses — so moisture stays in and irritation calms down.

🌙 Rich, but never greasy. A thick, luxurious night cream that absorbs deep instead of sitting on top — and it's non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores.

👩⚕️ Dr. Colombo's recovery cream. Her go-to after chemical peels, laser, and in-office procedures — gentle, fragrance-free, and built to repair compromised skin.

Dry skin isn't a hydration problem.

It's a barrier problem. When skin loses the lipids that hold moisture in — through age, hormones, harsh winters, or in-office treatments — water escapes faster than any humectant can replace it. That tight, flaky, irritated feeling is the barrier waving a white flag, and a thin lotion can't fix it.

The Restorer rebuilds the barrier itself. A rich, fragrance-free cream layers 5% niacinamide and a full complement of skin-identical lipids — multiple ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol, and squalane — with 5% petrolatum to seal everything in. It's the heavy night cream Dr. Colombo reaches for on her driest, most compromised, and post-procedure patients.

Fragrance, paraben & solvent free · Non-comedogenic · For dry, sun-damaged, rosacea-prone & sensitive skin

What It Does
Deep repair for skin that's run dry.

01
Rebuilds the Barrier
Multiple ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol replenish the skin-identical lipids dry and mature skin loses — restoring the barrier from within.
02
Deep, Lasting Hydration
A rich, creamy formula paired with 5% petrolatum seals moisture in and prevents water loss — ideal for winter, dryness, and recovery.
03
Calms & Smooths
5% niacinamide improves texture and reduces redness, while bisabolol and licorice soothe — leaving skin softer and more even-toned.
04
Post-Procedure Recovery
Dr. Colombo's go-to after peels, lasers, and treatments — supporting healing on the days when skin is most fragile and depleted.
05
Won't Clog Pores
Rich doesn't mean heavy or pore-clogging. The Restorer is non-comedogenic, absorbing deeply instead of sitting greasy on the surface.
06
Clean Formula
Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and solvent-free — formulated to comfort reactive, sun-damaged, and rosacea-prone skin without irritants.

The lipids your barrier is missing.

5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Strengthens the protective barrier by boosting the skin's own ceramide production, improving moisture retention while refining texture and reducing redness.

Multiple Ceramides

Essential, skin-identical lipids that reinforce the barrier — locking moisture in and protecting against the environmental stress that worsens dryness.

5% Petrolatum

A highly effective occlusive that forms a protective seal over the skin, preventing transepidermal water loss and supporting the skin's natural healing.

Squalane, Fatty Acids & Cholesterol

The full lipid trio that mirrors healthy skin's composition — working with the ceramides to rebuild a depleted barrier rather than just coating it.

Bisabolol & Licorice (Glycyrrhetinic Acid)

Soothing botanicals that calm visible redness and irritation — part of why The Restorer suits rosacea-prone and post-procedure skin.

B5 Panthenol & Allantoin

Conditioning humectants and skin soothers that improve softness and comfort, helping irritated skin feel calmer with continued use.

The Heavyweight of the Range

Vidaderma's richest, most repairing moisturizer — formulated for the driest, most compromised skin, and the recovery cream Dr. Colombo trusts after in-office procedures.

HOW TO USE

The last step, morning and night.

01 CLEANSE FIRST

Start with clean skin. Apply any serums or treatments — like The Reverser — and let them absorb before moisturizing.

02 MASSAGE IN, AM & PM

Smooth a generous layer over face and neck morning and night, or as directed. As your last step, it seals everything beneath it in.

03 LEAN ON IT AT NIGHT

Its rich, repairing texture makes it an ideal night cream — especially in colder months or during stretches of increased dryness.

04 USE AFTER PROCEDURES

Reach for it after peels, lasers, or treatments to support recovery and keep compromised skin calm and hydrated.

A note for sensitive skin:

A mild, brief stinging sensation can occur on more sensitive skin and usually subsides within a few minutes. If your skin is ultra-sensitive, patch test first. Not recommended for oily or blemish-prone skin — try The Hydrator instead.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Real Reviews. Real Results.

Everything you need to know before buying.

Who should use The Restorer?

It's best for those with normal, dry, or irritated skin who need deeper barrier repair. It's a heavier-feel cream — ideal as a night cream, especially during colder months or periods of increased dryness when skin needs extra hydration and recovery support.

How is it different from The Hydrator?

The Hydrator is lightweight and designed for everyday hydration across all skin types. The Restorer is richer, thicker, and more repairing — ideal for nighttime or compromised skin barriers. If your skin is very dry or recovering, choose The Restorer; if you want a light daily moisturizer, choose The Hydrator.

Can sensitive skin tolerate it?

Yes. The Restorer is fragrance-free and designed to calm irritation. A mild, brief stinging sensation can occur on more sensitive skin and usually subsides within a few minutes. If your skin is ultra-sensitive, patch test before full use.

Can I use it after in-office procedures?

Yes. The Restorer is Dr. Colombo's go-to recovery cream after chemical peels, laser, and other in-office treatments — it supports healing and keeps compromised skin comfortable and hydrated.

Will it clog my pores or feel greasy?

No. Despite its rich texture, The Restorer is non-comedogenic and absorbs deeply rather than sitting greasy on the surface — reviewers note it leaves skin soft and hydrated without heaviness. That said, it's not recommended for oily or blemish-prone skin; try The Hydrator instead.

How do I work it into my routine?

Apply morning and night, or as directed, as the final step after your serums and treatments. It layers well over actives like The Reverser, sealing them in. Always wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

How does the subscription work?

You can subscribe for delivery every 3 months (15% off, $85), 6 months (20% off, $80), or 12 months (25% off, $75). The 12-month subscription also includes a $100 credit toward any non-subscription Vidaderma product — your code is emailed after purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew and can be skipped or cancelled anytime.
