Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant 75 ml

Product Information

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. 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 Features two forms of hyaluronic acid — sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate — to help enhance the skin’s moisture content and reduce the appearance of fine lines

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. 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. Key ingredients include apricot kernel oil, sunflower seed oil, orange oil, and grapefruit peel oil 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

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. 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.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum includes two vitamin C derivatives: ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate and aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate 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.

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.While retinol provides many benefits to the skin, it’s also known to cause side effects like skin dryness and irritation. 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 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. 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.
