Solar defense booster

Advantages: light formula, easily absorbed
Disadvantages: expensive

...Every time it comes to summer I go crazy by trying to figure out what sun protection to use and where to find it. I have very sensitive skin so if a product doesn't suite me oh boy it shows. Not only that but I've been blessed with an oily complexion (apparently ages well but a pain to look after). Because of that I can't just buy anything and get away with it so I have to make careful choices. I have been using dermalogica products for about 2 years now and I find them to be generally reliable so I decided to had down to my local representative to see what they have available. After a long looking about I ended up with a solar defence kit for £21.95. It does sound expensive but it has four products including after sun lotion so it could be worse. One of these products was solar defence booster, which has spf 30 if used...

Review of Dermalogica Sun Protection Booster

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Advantages: Gentle exfoliator, suitable for all skin types
Disadvantages: Quite expensive - but worth it

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About Dermalogica ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dermalogica is a well known skin care system researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute. What Dermalogica say - "Dermalogica is founded on the belief that good skin care is not about pampering or luxury...any more than brushing your teeth or washing your hair is! Call us no-nonsense, but we believe that consumers want results, not frilly packaging or overblown hype. And we've found that consumers and leading skin care professionals alike in over 40 countries agree! " Now, I have never been that big a fan of Dermalogica products but I absolutely love Daily Microfoliant and also their Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque, I find their products very hit and miss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daily Microfoliant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is...

dermalogica active moist lotion

Advantages: lovely smell, verry hyrdating and lightweight
Disadvantages: have to use with other dermalogica products not so good on its own

...dermalogica active moist is recommended for skin prone to oiliness and is a lightweight lotion which provides daily moisture protection to combat surface dehydration. It contains silk amino acids, and natural botanicals of lemon, cucumber and burdock with no artificial colour or fragrance. It comes in a slim white tube - i do hate pot moisturisers they seem so unhygienic so this was great in that respect and it really lasts for ages despite the steep prices dermalogica products do work out to be quite economical over a long period. Always get your skin mapped by a dermalogica professional before purchasing to avoid all that trial and error when you start using a new regime. I would say this moisturiser is lovely, light and easily absorbed when used with a full regime of dermalogica cleansers and toners and scrubs. When I first bought...

Dermalogica

Advantages: great products, good samples
Disadvantages: Price

...Dermalogica is very different from most other skincare brands. As I mentioned in my other dermalogica review, it should be recommended by a professional. My local salon does free facial mapping, where your face is divided into areas and each area individually examined by a beautician. A ‘prescription’ is then drawn up depending on your skin type and what you hope to achieve from the skincare range. This is important, as many things that I have been recommended would have been things I wouldn’t have chosen myself. Dermalogica develops products that are environmentally friendly, that all ingredients are from eco safe sources and that packaging is recycled. They also don’t test on animals. All products are non-comedonegenic and don’t contain lanolin, artificial colours or fragrances and don’t...

Review of Dermalogica Skincare Range

Worth checking out! (Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant)

Advantages: Long lasting fresh feeling
Disadvantages: Price

...Even with a fairly hefty price for an exfoliating scrub, Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is worth every penny. I have used a variety of brands, and previously trusted Botanics face polish, but this product seems another level in facial scrubs. Use I heard of this brand through some friends and tested it after buying a few samples from ebay and felt instant results. I do not use the scrub on a daily basis, as I wished to preserve it for as long as possible given its price, but every time I do use it, my face feels unbelievably fresh for the rest of the day. It comes as a powder, which is activated when you rub it on your skin with water and massage over a minute. Who is it for? The scrub is recommended for all skin types, but with a slightly greasy skin type, I have felt this product has been perfect for me. The product...

Dermalogica Anti-Bac Skin Wash

Advantages: Cleared up my skin quickly, last ages!!!
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Dermalogica anti-bac skin wash is best used on blemish prone skin. It is a foaming, antibacterial facewash which deeply cleanses the skin of excess oil and impurities with drying it. It contains Triclosan which helps remove bacteria and Salicylic Acid disolves dead skin cells- that last part makes it sound very harsh, but it is really not! It also conatins balm mint, coneflower and camphor to help smooth and purify the skin. It does not have any artificial fragrances or colour. Dermalogica say that you should work the gel into a lather and apply to your dampened face and throat. You should then rinse with warm water and repeat for 'professional results'. They then say for best results this should be followed by the multi active toner and moisturiser (please see my other reviews). I use this product every day along...

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Advantages: Simple to use, quick results, lasts forever - an overall winner
Disadvantages: You'll need to get professional advice from a salon first - time consuming initially

...Wow - thats my opinion and I've tried many many products. I am a fully paid up member of the Dermalogica world and this range really does prove that expert advice and maybe paying that little bit more totally pays off. Its simple to use and slots into your daily skincare routine incredibly well. After cleansing, put around a 10 pence piece sized amount in the palm of your hand, add about 5 drops of warm water and lather up by rubbing your hands together. You now have the perfect amount to exfoliate your whole face. Gently rub over your skin in circular motions for around a minute and then rinse off. Your skin will feel squeaky clean immediately and after about a week really will be glowing. Follow by recommended Dermalogica toner and moisturiser to complete your regime. This product is quick to use and lasts for ages...

Review of Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Advantages: Doesn't dry out skin, nice texture
Disadvantages: Hard to get hold of

...I had been using dermalogica cleanser and toner and found that it was working well with my skin - so I anted to delve a little deeper into the product range. I wanted a product which would make my skin feel clean, smooth and fresh while keeping the moisture in and I have to say I've found it in this. Dermalogica products are natural and makes your skin feel good without feeling like its been stripped of its natural oils etc. Daily Microfoliant is gentle enough to use on a daily basis - however, I've been using it every other day and it find works fine like that. I paid £22 for the 75g size and so far this has lasted me 5 months and I still have quite a lot left so it is excellent value for money. This Microfoliant is in a powder form & you need to sprinkle some on your hand and mix with a little bit of water so it becomes a paste...
