Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant 75 ml

Product Information

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. In our opinion, Dermalogica products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value. For example, the brand emphasizes naturally derived ingredients, such as soap bark extract, seed oils, and fruit enzymes. Evidence-based synthetics, such as vitamin C derivatives, peptides, and retinol, are also prioritized in their formulations. These ingredients should all be part of your skincare routine. 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.

According to the Indian Dermatology Online Journal, clinical studies have shown that the topical use of vitamin C increases collagen production in both young and aged human skin Multi-part exfoliating complex helps loosen dead skin cells and clear follicles to promote skin health. Formula includes soap bark extract, a botanical extract that contains saponins (a class of chemical compounds that can act as natural surfactants) 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.Nourishing facial moisturizer that is said to restore lipid balance to dry, depleted skin for optimal barrier performance 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.

One of the brand’s most popular products is the Daily Microfoliant, an exfoliating rice-based powder for your face 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 Vitamin C serum that includes two vitamin C derivatives: ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate and aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate While retinol provides many benefits to the skin, it’s also known to cause side effects like skin dryness and irritation. Vitamin C can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin synthesisIncorporating regular exfoliation into your skin care routine is key in maintaining luminous, healthy-looking skin.

These oils will dissolve other materials that have a similar chemical structure (makeup, excess sebum, dirt, etc), allowing them to be washed away during the second step of the Double Cleanse regimen 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.Activated Binchotan Charcoal purifies the skin, helping to adsorb environmental toxins from deep within the pores As we age, desquamation slows, and can cause skin dullness, pore clogging, and dryness. Through exfoliation, dulling skin cells are effectively removed and newer cells are revealed for a fresher, healthier appearance. Contains microcrystalline cellulose, a gentle abrasive to exfoliate the top layers of skin, removing makeup, excess oil, dirt, and other impurities that may have accumulated during the day

The Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser is perfectly suited for those of you who struggle to find a cleanser that works with your skin, effectively cleanses and leaves your skin feeling comfortable after rinsing. Highly foaming cleansers can often leave sensitive skin types feeling inflamed, stripped, dry and tight after use, which down the road, can cause a whole mess of problems. Stripping your skin of its moisture damages the skin barrier and makes it more difficult for the rest of the products in your skincare routine to perform at its best. The easiest way to correct this stripped or tight feeling is to switch up your cleanser for a gentler alternative. Cleansers like the Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser do exactly what the name suggests. The formula is specially designed to promote healing within the skin and protect the skin against environmental factors such as pollution, climate, stress, hormonal changes, cosmetic allergies and more. The anti-ozonate complex that is also included in this formula helps to guard against future inflammation so that your skin doesn’t only calm down, but stays calm. 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. 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 apricot kernel oil, sunflower seed oil, orange oil, and grapefruit peel oil Did you know, the human skin produces about one million skin cells every 40 minutes?! As skin cells are produced from the deepest layer and move towards the surface, older cells harden, lose moisture, and detach from skin. This process is called desquamation, and it helps eliminate damaged, contaminated cells that carry environmental pollutants.One thing to keep in mind before trying Dermalogica skincare products is that nearly all of the products contain fragrance ingredients. For example, the Dermalogica Active Moist formula contains citral, linalool, limonene, lemon peel extract, bergamot fruit extract, and more. The brand also has its celebrity fans. The actress Patricia Clarkson told The New York Times she’s a fan of Dermalogica Super Rich Repair, the Multivitamin Exfoliator and the Redness Relief. January Jones told People magazine she uses Dermalogica’s Sleep Cocoon, an evening gel cream. When the actress Amy Adams is wearing a lot of makeup for work, as she relayed to Allure magazine, she reaches for Dermalogica’s Ultracalming Cleanser. 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 Gentle Cream Exfoliant is a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliation treatment designed to thoroughly remove dulling surface debris, dramatically improving skin texture. Alpha hydroxy Lactic Acid, beta hydroxy Salicylic Acid and natural fruit enzymes detach dead skin cells, helping to stimulate skin renewal. Conditioning botanical extracts and humectants soothe the skin and combat dryness.
