Dermalogica is the skin care system researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute, founded in Los Angeles in 1986, which shocked the market by refusing to use artificial colours, synthetic fragrances, S.D. alcohol, lanolin or mineral oil. Dermalogica do not test on animals, all ingredients are eco-safe sources and products are packaged in recyclable containers. The label today is known worldwide as the "professionals' choice."
It is rice-based enzyme powder which promises to microfoliate dulling debris and to leave the skin smoother and brighter instantly. Unique Skin Brightening Complex of Bearberry, Aspergillus and Grapefruit helps to balance uneven pigmentation, while the active agents derived from Rice Bran and Rice extracts help to regulate melanin production and microfoliate dead cells. Suitable for all skin conditions (except users of medically-prescribed exfoliants) and guaranteed to work if recommended by professional skin therapist.
* Application
After cleansing, dispense into wet hands and create a creamy paste. Massage onto face for one minute avoiding the eye area, then rinse. Use daily.
* My experience
My skin is pretty dry except the nose area where I have normal to combination skin. I have to be careful with new products as my skin is very sensitive too and every try means possibility of redness and blemishes which need lot of time to heal. I got this product about month ago after my beauty therapist recommended it to me. As she used it during my facial and my skin felt really good and soft, I decided to give it a try. And so far, I can't complain. It works. My skin after use is soft and smooth, almost velvety on touch. I think that even the mimic wrinkles (like lines from nose to lips from smiling or horizontal lines on forehead from anger) are less visible. The skin feels a bit dry immediately after application as it has to be rinsed and water makes me feel pretty dry. But as it should be followed by Multi-active Toner (Spray) and moisturizer, it's ok. The only problem I am aware of is that to obtain the amount of paste sufficient to massage it onto face for whole minute, you need to spend quite a lot of the powder.
*Other's experience

* PS
I would recommend this product to every woman dreaming about nice, clean, bright and soft complexion. But as I am not a profesional, don't forget to ask your skin therapist for advice ;-)

Hi! well written review! My facialist also uses this but she mixes it with some cold cream and massages it in, which stops it drying out my skin + helps you use less product each application. I use it like that 4 times a week
