Dermalogica is a brand I’d look into when I want to be a little more deliberate about my skincare routine. I’m interested in products that address specific concerns, particularly when it comes to cleansing and improving the look and feel of skin texture. But I wouldn’t automatically assume that a stronger treatment is better. Exfoliating products need to be used according to their directions, and overdoing them can leave skin uncomfortable. I’d start with one product suited to my skin type and avoid changing everything at once. The main drawback for me would be the cost of maintaining a routine with several products. I’d rather invest in a few useful essentials than buy the entire range.
The microfoliant powder itself leaves my face feeling silky and noticeably brightens my complexion without being overly harsh. However, the bottle design in the shower is a total disaster. Any moisture or steam that gets near the top turns the powder inside into a solid, gummy clump that completely blocks the dispenser opening. I’ve had to dig it out with a paperclip three times now.
Dermalogica was one of the first ‘serious skincare’ brands I tried, and I remember feeling very grown-up buying it. 😂 I started with a cleanser and eventually tried a few other products. My skin definitely feels cleaner and smoother when I use the products consistently, but I learned pretty quickly that I can’t go crazy with exfoliating products. My skin basically sent me an email saying ‘please calm down.’ Once I found the combination that worked for me, I was much happier with it.
Dermalogica has been one of those dependable brands in my routine. I like that the products are easy to understand and generally leave my skin feeling balanced rather than overloaded. Not every product is a hit for me, but I’ve had more good experiences than bad ones.
I bought the Daily Microfoliant after my facialist mentioned it, and I was surprised by how much I liked the powder format. My skin feels smoother after using it and makeup seems to sit better too. I had to learn not to overdo it, though — apparently my skin did not appreciate my enthusiasm.
Daily Microfoliant completely changed the way I exfoliate. The powder activates with water into a gentle paste that’s much less abrasive than traditional scrubs. After using it a few times each week, my skin felt smoother, makeup applied more evenly, and I noticed fewer dry patches around my nose and chin.
The daily microfoliant is worth every penny. The rice based powder activates with water and leaves my combination skin feeling insanely soft without feeling tight or stripped. It’s gentle enough that I use it every morning.
I finally understood why my skin therapist kept recommending the Daily Microfoliant. The powder format is surprisingly convenient, especially when travelling because there is no liquid bottle to leak in my bag. It leaves my skin feeling polished without needing a complicated routine.
Dermalogica has consistently delivered great skincare results for me. The products feel professional-grade, and my skin always looks healthier when I use them regularly.
The products are reliable and effective across a variety of skin concerns. My skin feels healthier and more balanced.
The formula relies heavily on old school skin clogging ingredients and essential oils like lavender and lemon, which completely irritated my skin barrier. Within days, my forehead was covered in a bumpy rash and my cheeks felt tight and dehydrated.
Dermalogica has been one of the most reliable skincare brands I’ve tried, keeping my skin balanced and healthy-looking. The products are easy to incorporate into any routine and consistently deliver good results.
It comes as a dry rice based powder that you mix with water to create a smooth paste, which makes it perfect for traveling since it won’t leak.
Dermalogica has been one of the most reliable skincare brands for me over the years. The cleansers and moisturizers feel gentle but effective, and my skin stays balanced whenever I stick to the routine.
Professional-grade skincare that consistently delivers. The cleansers and exfoliants keep my skin balanced and clear.
The products are definitely pricey for daily use.
I keep going back to the Daily Microfoliant because nothing else makes my skin feel this smooth without irritating it. A little goes a long way too.
Finally understood the hype. I got the cleanser after my skin therapist kept mentioning it and, annoying as it is, she was right. My face feels clean but not tight, which is rare for me. I did panic at the price at first but it’s lasted ages.
Good quality but can be expensive. I like that it doesn’t irritate my skin. Solid choice if you want consistent results.
I used to get dull patches and itchiness. Their powder exfoliant actually made my skin smooth without redness. Been using it twice a week and I like it alot.
Professional-grade skincare that actually works, cleansers and treatments feel reliable and gentle. Staple in my routine.
I bought a serum from Dr. Brandt hoping for anti-aging effects. The packaging and feel are luxe, but after 3 months I didn’t see the wrinkles diminish as much as I hoped.
The Special Cleansing Gel is gentle yet powerful. I’ve used it for years, and my skin barrier thanks me daily.
The multi-active toner dried my skin so I have to stop using it. No redness and irritation experienced, though.
Hydrating and moisturizing to the skin. Effectively removes build-up.
My skin feels hydrated and clear with their Daily Microfoliant and Multi-Active Toner. The textures are gentle yet effective, and there’s no irritation even with my sensitive skin.
The moisturizer kept my skin hydrated and smooth. Just loving this product.
The cleanser stripped my skin and left it dry. Too harsh for something marketed as gentle.
Non-greasy and absorbs quickly. Feels amazing.
The Daily Microfoliant is one of those products I always go back to. It’s gentle enough for daily use and keeps my skin super smooth without irritation.
I only had a problem with the packaging when I received it from delivery. It was damaged,
The moisturizer works best for me since I have been getting dry skin and is very noticable due to cold weathers. This is a life saver
