I want to talk about dermalogica. I am living in Hong Kong and dermalogica is
being put on the high end products, one can hardly find a store selling this brand, it is only available in few professional beauty salons.
Later I learnt that essential day spa is selling its products at a very reasonable price, so I decided to give a try. Forget to
mention my skin type ¡V I am aged 27, sensitive skin, easily to get "red", quite dry at cheeks and
oily at t-zone, acnes appear from time to time ¡V so complicated! the 1st thing I try is the special cleansing gel, it gives you a soft and clean after-use feeling, without
over-drying the skin. It is almost the best cleanser I have ever used. Another good
recommendation is the Ultra Calming Cleanser for face and eyes. I love to use it either when I wear light make up or when I feel my skin extra dirty even without any make up on, it is not greasy but yet powerful enough to remove dirt and oils on your face. The 2 cleanser are both so mild that my sensitive skin is always fine
with it without feeling uncomfortable once.
The hi shine shampoo and conditioner are also my loved ones. It tamed my a bit dry hair appropriately and wont leave residue. One product I am not very happy with is The Bar. In view of its relatively lower price as compared to special cleansing gel but claiming to be performing alike, I bought TWO in my first try. I can say that it is nothing like the cleansing gel, I feel it is more milky/moisturizing and seems not thorough enough for face cleansing. Now I give up and use it for shower! I have with me the Microfoliant too. Since my skin is quite sensitive and thin (and I always believe this skin type cannot tolerate harsh exfoliant), I only tried one or two times with extra care and just feel it so-so, but I am sure most of you will like it. I just got the Active Moist toner spray yesterday from essential day spa, it makes me feeling comfortable. I will try the Active Moist lotion after finishing my uv cream of another brand (is that SKII (same group with max factor) is not very popular in Canada and the States?)
Hope to share again with you shortly. |

| I think as long as you use a GENTLE cleanser, thats all that matters. Theres a lot of good ones out there. |

| I have used the Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant and Viitaman Recovery Masque. Both are gentle and good for sensitive skin without the need to scrub or iirritate skin. Try them both. |

I've recently started using the Dermalogica Skincare line and I have to say I am very impressed. My skin has never looked this good! It is smoother, has smaller pores and seems to glow from within (maybe it's just my happiness at having found a good line! LoL!)
These are the products I use:
Special Cleansing Gel morning and night
Multi-Active Toner morning and night
Microfoliant every night
Active Moist morning (with SPF30 booster added) and night
Medicated Clearing Gel every night
I also use Proactiv's Repair Lotion during the day to keep the breakouts at bay. I used to have really bad acne in my early twenties and if I don't maintain a routine for the acne I find it starts to come back. Prior to using Dermalogica I was using Proactiv Solution and found it to be very good, but I was getting bored with it and wanted something different. Dermalogica is so wonderful! It's expensive, but I've been looking on ebay for deals and have found some.
My skin feels clean and smooth. Fresh and rested. I look forward to washing my face. It does not feel dry or irritated at all. I would recommend this line to anyone wanting great skin and a little pampering.
I did at one point during my early twenties use the Anti-Bac Face Wash and found it to be a bit harsh on my acne. I think when you have acne, gentle is the way to go.
Now, I am curious about the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream. Is it really that good? |

Now that you mention it, whilst in HK I didnt really see any Dermalogica concessions in the shopping malls. I only saw one Dermalogica salon where I lived and no where else.
I have tried a few things from Dermalogica and they broke me out really BADLY  ... every single one of them! So nowadays, I try to steer clear of Dermalogica.
Glad you are having such good results with Dermalogica! |

I just bought the Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution and have no problems with it. My questions is if anyone knows if you can use it for eye makeup as well ? It doesn't say not to but it doesn't say otherwise either.
Thanks! |

| I've tried Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant sample size which i got from EDS. First I worried it would be a bit harsh on my skin. However after trying it, I love it |

Hi Cindy67! I've used the essential cleansing solution to wash eye area, and I definitely think its gentle enough. I love Dermalogica products, my skin has improved so much since using them. I also love the precleanse oil, its fantastic for taking off make-up! |

As for Dermalogica... I really loved using their masks and foundations!! Non-comedogenic, yet strong enough to do everything  |

I used their shampoo and conditioner, and found they were so-so. 
I also tried some of their samples and was never impressed.
I wonder if Greeneggs is still using this brand, huh?! |

I used dermalogica products for years and LOVE them! Before this I used Estee Lauder and my skin broke out terribly - Dermalogica cleared it up and stopped future breakouts so I am a big fan.
Only one thing I will mention is that I have a friend in the day spa industry who says dermalogica is an excellent line but once in your thirties or older it is better to switch to products more suited for aging. I am now using Pevonia with equally good results in terms of clear skin and hopefully will keep those dreaded wrinkles at bay
(I am 35). |

Love the cleansing gel. I actually water it down because it's so concentrated. A little goes a long way. Not drying at all.
Daily microfoliant is very good, too, as well as their multi-vitamin power masque.
I don't particulary care for their Power Rich. Too expensive and didn't really do much for my skin. I didn't see any noticeable difference after finishing a boxful of the tubes. I also didn't like their moisturizers. Those didn't do much for me, either. Hope this helps. |
