Facial Symmetry, Rebalanced: Discover Dermalogica’s Breakthrough Neurotouch Symmetry Serum

Facial symmetry plays a powerful role in how we perceive ourselves and others. Research shows that balanced features are often subconsciously associated with vitality, calm, and confidence. But symmetry isn’t just a beauty standard – it’s biological, too. Our facial muscles, skin tension, and expressions all evolve over time. And with those changes, subtle imbalances can emerge.

Whether due to ageing, stress, tension, or lifestyle habits — subtle imbalances in tone, firmness, and facial structure begin to emerge. These shifts can leave us feeling like our features no longer reflect how we feel on the inside. Enter: Dermalogica's NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum.

This isn’t just another anti-aging serum. NeuroTouch represents a radical shift: the first Dermalogica product developed around neurocosmetic science — where skincare acts not just on skin, but through skin to influence how we feel, heal, and age.

From our facial expressions to the way we sleep, daily repetition creates patterns in our skin and muscle tone that can result in visible asymmetry — especially around the jawline, eyes, and mouth.

Modern habits like side-sleeping, scrolling, and screen posture create visible, directional shifts in facial soft tissue. CT scan studies show that targeted facial massage can reposition volume and lift key architecture like the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System — a connective tissue layer that supports facial structure and expression). This is where consistent technique matters.

Facial imbalances aren't just structural — they’re emotional. When we don’t look like ourselves, we don’t feel like ourselves. Dermalogica's NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum addresses this through a complete ritual that works on both muscle tone and the nervous system — calming the mind while sculpting the skin.

Recent studies in aesthetic medicine have shown that even small asymmetries in the lower face — particularly around the nasolabial folds, jawline, and brows — can have a measurable impact on perceived age and emotion. The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer plays a key role in these shifts. As we age, this fibromuscular structure loses tension and volume. 

Therapeutic facial massage has been shown to stimulate this tissue, enhancing muscle tone and restoring symmetry non-invasively over time.

If you’ve ever felt like skincare wasn’t fully working, even when using high-performance products — neurocosmetics may be what’s missing. These formulas are designed to activate neural receptors in the skin that influence tone, stress responses, and barrier function.

Even more impressive? 97% of participants felt a shift in how they connected with their skin. By engaging the nervous system, NeuroTouch addresses not just visible firmness, but also emotional skin states — supporting the growing field of neurocosmetics .

Neurocosmetics are ideal for skin showing signs of:

• Oiliness or congestion in specific zones

• 
  

• Breakouts or post-acne pigmentation from chronic stress

• 
  

• Dryness or dullness from disrupted skin communication

• 
  

• Sensitivity or redness triggered by environmental or emotional stress

• 
  

• Mature skin needing support for tone, firmness and facial balance

• 
  

• Uneven texture or pigmentation due to past inflammation

• 
  

Whether your concern is hormonal, environmental or emotional — neurocosmetics support skin’s ability to regulate, recover and realign.

Dermalogica’s NeuroTouch massage technique draws on over 30 years of professional treatment expertise. It’s more than just relaxation — each movement targets lymphatic drainage , muscle re-education , and tension release . Clinical imaging shows that consistent facial massage can visibly improve facial architecture, especially in the lower third of the face.

To enhance results, Dermalogica has created a specialised NeuroTouch Symmetry Massage Technique — a targeted touch therapy designed to work in synergy with the NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum. This guided massage stimulates specific facial zones, encouraging relaxed muscle memory in overworked areas and energising underused zones.

The skin and nervous system are intimately linked. That’s why intentional touch and facial massage are so powerful — especially when paired with neuro-active formulas. Together, they help rewire skin’s signalling pathways, restore visible symmetry, and reduce reactive triggers across all skin types. The result: more even tone, enhanced absorption, and a calm, rebalanced skin response. This is where form meets function — and skincare becomes a method, not just a product.

The NeuroTouch formula doesn’t just moisturise — it re-educates. Its biomimetic peptides mimic the skin’s natural signaling molecules to visibly improve firmness and resilience. Bioengineered Bacillus ferment supports gentle enzymatic renewal and boosts nutrient absorption. Squalane-rich bionutrient oils reinforce the barrier, while an aromachology scent blend uplifts mood via the brain’s emotional centres.

"You can’t fix facial symmetry without injectables."

Clinical evidence says otherwise. A guided massage protocol — performed consistently — has been shown to lift, tone, and shift soft tissue position visibly over time.

"Touch doesn’t affect your skin."

Neuroscience proves that it does. The skin and brain communicate constantly. When the skin is stimulated through therapeutic touch, stress hormone levels drop, circulation improves, and cell turnover increases.

In clinical trials, 90% of users saw more symmetrical, sculpted skin. 97% noticed improved elasticity, lift, and bounce. Skin felt supported, resilient, and responsive to touch.
