Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant 75 ml

Product Information

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 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. As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness.

Also contains chemical exfoliants, such as papain (an enzyme derived from papaya) and salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid), a skin brightening complex of phytic acid from rice bran, white tea, and licorice to help balance uneven skin tone, and a soothing blend of colloidal oatmeal and allantoin to help calm skinDermalogica 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.

This two-step routine is the best way to remove make-up residue, excess oil, and other impurities so that your exfoliant can do its job. Dermalogica skincare products include everything you need to create a complete routine, including cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers, masques, toners, facial oils, serums, targeted treatments, eye treatments, body care, and more. If you aren’t sure where to get started with this brand, don’t worry — below we’re giving you the details on the top 10 Dermalogica skincare products. 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.

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. Vitamin C serum that includes two vitamin C derivatives: ascorbyl methylsilanol pectinate and aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate A prebiotic chlorella algae complex helps rebalance the skin’s natural microbiome for healthy-looking skinKey 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 Dermalogica Phyto Nature Firming Serum is a dual-phase serum that combines highly-active botanicals with biomimetic technology to reduce visible signs of skin aging. 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. 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 Use retinoids at night. We recommend this retinoid oil serum . It contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, an ingredient that provides similar benefits with less irritation.

We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. It’s a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. 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. 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.Facial moisturizer that is claimed to “infuse skin with 48 hours of continuous hydration and helps protect against environmental stress” As the company states, Dermalogica is focused on skin health rather than “beauty.” The products are formulated with a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients. Exfoliation removes dulling, dead skin cells that prevent skin care products from penetrating properly – which means that the best time to hydrate is immediately after you exfoliate. If you’re looking for extra hydration, try Hydro Masque Exfoliant: its dual-action formula delivers an intense hydration boost while you exfoliate. 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.

Incorporating regular exfoliation into your skin care routine is key in maintaining luminous, healthy-looking skin. 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.

Here’s how to fit regular exfoliation into your skin care regimen for luminous, healthy-looking skin: 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 Evidence-based ingredients like vitamin C derivatives, hyaluronic acid, AHAs, BHAs, peptides, and silicones
