Is dermalogica good for spotty skin?

I have typical teenage skin. Oily, spotty, blackheads. I don't have any dry patches but I am very prone to breakouts, especially on my forehead and chin. I recently went for a facial and they use dermalogica products. She recommended a few things, like the acne prone skin kit. It contains anti-bac skin wash, oil control lotion, medicated clearing gel and a toner. Has anyone used any of these products or used the kit? Did it work for you? I'm not bothered by it drying up my skin because it never drys up. It is also not at all sensitive. Thanks!Is dermalogica good for spotty skin?
Hi, I started using this kit a couple of months ago - I'm 33 and have suffered with acne at varying degrees since I was 10, and dermologica seemed like a good product becasue it is meant to be good for sensitive skin. It cleared up, then I had the most horrendous breakout and I stopped using it. The past few weeks I've been using Pears soap, the moisturiser from the Dermalogica kit mixed with E45, non-acnegenic make up and my skin is much better. Oh yes, I didn't find dermalogica dried my skin up at all so its a good option from that point.





Dermologica is horrendously expensive but I got mine fro jersey cosmetics company on line, much cheaper!!





so maybe give the kit a go, the products are nice but certainly didn't cure me.Is dermalogica good for spotty skin?

Hi,


I work in a salon which sells Dermilogica which i also i use.


Dermilogica is well known product which has a good reputation. Im familiar with all the products you have listed and they have i think done the right thing with reccomending them as they are for acne skin.


i see they havent recommended a moisturizer you dont want to use too much of the oil control lotion and only use it only on the oily prone skin i would say get the active moist moisturizer also and drop the toner and maybe get the daily microfoliant exfoliator to help unblock the skin.


Do you wear lots of make up if so try pre cleanse its awsome gets rid of makeup in a flash and it does remove water proof mascara. It is expensive maybe only buy one thing at once.


Or if your desparate go to the doctor and get some cream for your skin to dry it up but again only use it on the oily parts dont be tempted to rub it everywhere.

Have you seen a dermatologist? I know what you are going through. I began suffering with Acne at age 23 and since I work in a salon we tried everything as far as facials and the expensive Sonya Dakar products that we sell. Nothing seems to get rid of it. I ended up having to make an appointment with a dermatologist and it ended up that my acne was caused by my hormones so I had to take medication. Be careful if they do extractions on your face during the facial because I know since I waited so long and tried everything in the salon before going to the dermatologist I am suffering with scarring now.
I use Clinique 3 step, cheaper than Dermologica but still expensive. Givew that a try (you can get a smaller version from Clinique counter for 拢22!).. Should last a few months, if your happy buy the big stuff or try Demalogica.


My mate told me about this yesterday, concidence! She has really clear skin, amazingly clear and I thought she was just lucky but now I know her secret!


If Clinique does not work out I'm going to try that out next.. Though it is doing a really good job at exfoliating deep into the pores and I can see the changes alrady!


Just go on the Clinique site and take the test, see what skin type you are, go to Debenhams or somwhere bigg in London and find a Clinique counter and ask for a Skin Type (whatever number) small pack 3-step skin care.


Good luck x
I used Dermalogica, it is very expensive and only slightly better than Neutrogena...
