Oh my gosh...when I read about this product I was so thrilled! I rushed out to the Dermalogica shop here in Helsinki and gladly forked over the 50 odd euros for my bottle of wonder gel. I've suffered right through my twenties with skin problems and a few years ago discovered Dermalogica and up until now it had held my breakouts at bay. But in the last couple of months the spots made a comeback for some unknown reason and I decided to try this new Medibac wash. I figured that, being Dermalogica it would be the best thing since sliced bread because I've always been thrilled with all of their other products. But now I have to say, I'm soooo regretting that decision. Yes, it cleanses your skin perfectly. my face, right after use feels fresh and clean and impurity free. The downside of it is that after only four days of use, I now have more spots than ever and as a nice added bonus, huge red scaly patches which look like chemical burns. My skin is irritated and sore and for hours after washing my skin prickles all over my face. I am REALLY upset to be honest. I thought this was the answer to my prayers but unfortunately I am now going to have to spend weeks, and lots of €'s getting rid of these super dry patches and putting my skin right. I would recommend to anyone even thinking of buying this product to ask for a sample first before spending so much money on the full size. Also if you have any history of allergic reactions to skincare products, avoid it like the plague. I don't have particularly sensitive skin so I can't imagine what it would do to someone who has. try before you buy!
