Yes, another Dermalogica review  And I¡¯m (still) yet to try out the Microfoiliant!
I felt Dermalogica's foundation was not particularly long-lasting, at least in comparison to my current foundations -- Armarni and Bobbi Brown. In addition, it did not blend as well into my skin, which was not simply a case of colour mis-match. Rather, I felt as though the product itself did not 'sit' on the skin very evenly.
I guess a redeeming point would be that it would deliver minimal aggravation to any skin condition, after all, it has the word 'treatment' in it :P This is a huge selling point for me, as I can't stand the idea of foundation with oils &/or ingredients which clog pores.
Far from my favourite foundation, but still a possible choice for Dermalogica die-hards

Hi Sable,
First of all, you've GOT to try the daily microfoliant. You will LOVE it. It's just a powder form, as you've likely read from other reviews on the forum, and all you have to do is add water and rub your hands together to form a paste (foam). I've been using it for a few months now and it really does help to brighten your skin. I'm not too keen on using products with hydroquinone or products specifically geared at whitening/brightening, but the microfoliant helps a LOT . . . but it's so gentle . . . so it's a great product -- definitely try it next time you've run out of your usual exfoliant.
As for Dermalogica's treatment foundation -- I'm a Bare Escentuals nut myself . . . but the Treatment Foundation is really great. Like you said, it doesn't really clog pores cuz it's a "treatment." I use the 2G shade and it works really well. If you want more coverage, you can use the treatment foundation as a concealer / base (just on problem spots) and then use the Bare Escentuals minerals (or whatever your usual foundation is) over that. I really like it -- and the little tube will last me a LONG time at this rate!
It doesn't seem to wear out on me . . . but then again, I always wash my face the moment I get back home . . . but there's always something to wash off so it's still there!  I use the treatment foundation when I want natural, light coverage that doesn't feel too greasy. I usually just dab it on problem spots and I'm out the door.
Again, TRY THE MICROFOLIANT!

 You haven't tried the Microfoliant!? You really REALLY should! Sorry to impose my product 'loves' on you but it's a great exfoliator!  |
