Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant 75 ml

Product Information

Overall, we think that Dermalogica skincare products have a lot going for them. We like the combination of evidence-based synthetics and naturally-derived ingredients. The only problem we noticed is the inclusion of fragrance ingredients in all Dermalogica skincare products. Pros While baking soda is abrasive and will exfoliate the skin, skincare experts consider it to be too harsh. Plus, baking soda has a high pH of 9, which is typically too alkaline for the skin to tolerate since the skin’s normal pH is about 4.5 to 5. This alkaline pH can lead to disruption of the skin barrier, causing redness, dryness, breakouts, and signs of sensitivity. Retinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. It’s one of the best ingredients for improving signs of skin aging, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing pore size, increasing skin firmness, improving skin tone and texture, and more. Formula contains a BioReplenish Complex that delivers a combination of key barrier lipids to help enhance the skin’s natural resilience and support barrier recovery Physical exfoliants or scrubs remove dead skin cells through friction. We advise avoiding exfoliants made of nut shells or ground-up fruit pits, as these will scratch skin, rather choose gentler ingredients such as Rice Bran to polish and smooth. Chemical exfoliants work by dissolving the intercellular "glue" that attaches skin cells, allowing separation and removal from skin. Chemical exfoliants include Lactic Acid, Phytic Acid and Salicylic Acid and come in varying strengths offering gentle exfoliation through to dramatic chemical peeling.

All fragrance ingredients (whether natural or synthetic) impart scent through a volatile reaction, and this natural reaction almost always causes a sensitizing reaction on skin. Exfoliation removes dulling, dead skin cells that prevent skin care products from penetrating properly – which means that the best time to hydrate is immediately after you exfoliate. If you’re looking for extra hydration, try Hydro Masque Exfoliant: its dual-action formula delivers an intense hydration boost while you exfoliate. The Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion was originally designed to offer those with oily or combination skin types a moisturizer that delivered all of the necessary ingredients to help maintain healthy skin, without producing a greasy finish or clogging the pores. This goal eventually lead to an oil-control formula that utilized hydrating ingredients as well as MediBac Clearing technology to combine excess sebum production and maintain an even, clear looking finish that lasts all day. The key ingredients within this formula include salicylic acid in the form of enantia chlorantha bark extract as well as camphor, balm mint and licorice root extracts. Each of these ingredients perform different key tasks, as well as work together to improve the overall condition of your skin. Camphor for example, is a natural antiseptic which helps to purify the skin and prevent the spread of acne causing bacteria, while balm mint and licorice root extract cool the skin and help to calm down any sources of inflammation which can contribute to a full range of skin concerns. Finally, salicylic acid works as a chemical exfoliant that is oil-soluble, meaning that it can travel deeper into the skin to clear out clogged pores, and eliminate dead skin cells. While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for. Activated Binchotan Charcoal purifies the skin, helping to adsorb environmental toxins from deep within the pores

Dermalogica is known for creating innovative and unique skincare products that are suitable for all skin types and skin concerns. One of the items that Dermalogica is most well known for are their active ingredient-heavy treatments. The Dermalogic Biolumin-C Serum is one of their newest active ingredient treatment products. This product aims to brighten and firm the skin using a stable form of vitamin C. But are the results worth the price tag? Today, we’ll be diving into all the details to help you decide whether or not this product is worth investing in. So without further adieu, let’s get started!

Key ingredients include ginger root extract, oat kernel extract, and cucumber fruit extract. All of these botanical extracts are known to help calm and soothe the skin Dermalogica Phyto Nature Firming Serum is a dual-phase serum that combines highly-active botanicals with biomimetic technology to reduce visible signs of skin aging. In the firming phase, sapphire-bound biomimetic peptides help firm skin and reinforce skin defenses to counter visible signs of skin aging accelerated by your environment and lifestyle. Sodium acetylated hyaluronate, a special form of hyaluronic acid, provides excellent moisturization. It’s ability to hold water to the skin also provides a temporary “filler effect”; the skin looks more plump and firm due to the extra volume. Apply a thin layer of Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant over cleansed skin, avoiding the lip and nostril area. Use care around the delicate eye area as well.

As the company states, Dermalogica is focused on skin health rather than “beauty.” The products are formulated with a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients. Dermalogica is a brand that has been formulating professional-grade skincare since 1986. But just because a brand has been around for many years doesn’t necessarily mean their products are going to work for you. A prebiotic chlorella algae complex helps rebalance the skin’s natural microbiome for healthy-looking skin Chemical vs. physical, daily vs. weekly: the first step is finding the right exfoliant for your skin. To avoid over-exfoliating, choose one that works with your skin condition. Not sure where to start? Get Face Mapped!. Formula includes soap bark extract, a botanical extract that contains saponins (a class of chemical compounds that can act as natural surfactants)Proper exfoliation starts with clean skin – and that means the Dermalogica Double Cleanse, starting with PreCleanse and finishing with your prescribed Dermalogica cleanser. This two-step routine is the best way to remove make-up residue, excess oil, and other impurities so that your exfoliant can do its job. If you’re reading this, you probably already know that regular exfoliation helps to reveal brighter, fresher-looking skin. That’s because exfoliating speeds up desquamation (skin’s natural exfoliation process). But did you know that, done right, exfoliation can also help all your other skin care products work their best? It’s true: if you don’t remove dulling, dead skin cells via exfoliation, they can form a barrier that prevents the active ingredients in your skin care products from properly penetrating the skin. Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum includes two vitamin C derivatives: ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate and aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate

Also contains chemical exfoliants, such as papain (an enzyme derived from papaya) and salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid), a skin brightening complex of phytic acid from rice bran, white tea, and licorice to help balance uneven skin tone, and a soothing blend of colloidal oatmeal and allantoin to help calm skin

Dermalogica Phyto Nature Firming Serum contains sapphire-bound biomimetic peptides to help firm skin and reinforce skin defenses to counter visible signs of skin aging accelerated by your environment and lifestyle. Even if you don’t have a full-blown reaction to the ingredient, the damage may still be occurring every day. Ultimately, this can cause mild problems for your skin in the short term and worse problems in the long term. What Are The Top 10 Best Dermalogica Skin Care Products?
