I started using dermalogica for about three months now and my skin has never looked so bad:( I have always had really good skin until I started using this product line my skin is so dried out that it hurts and I am supposedly using the most hydrating products in the line and now all of a sudden my skin is red blotchy with white little bumps all over it! I would never recomend this product line to anyone! Neutrogena is alot better less irritating and alot cheaper.

Pros:

HUGE amount of hydration, no added oil; skin feels soft and fresh after use, doesn't leave any residue at all

Cons:

Pricey, comes in a very small bottle

I use this product after my normal skin care regimen (Proactiv) because my face feels so dry and crackly all the time. This product is just what I was looking for: a great moisturizer without extra oil.

Absolutely horrible
I have a history of cystic acne that cleared up with Accutane 2 years ago. My skin still wasn't nice enough that I felt I could go without make up, so decided to try a new regime. The regime caused me to break out in very small whiteheads, so I switched to this product. My skin looked better - for about 3 days. I then got my cystic acne back full blown. I'm absolutely hideous and broken out in painful fluid filled cysts all over my face again after TWO YEARS. I've had to go back on medication and restart my skin clearing regime from square one again. I shouldn't have even bothered trying to improve my skin more than it was.

Pros:

Very gentle
No smell or colours.
felt very refreshing
large bottle

Cons:

Stopped working after a while
Drys skin
very expensive
Needs to be used with other Dermalogica products to be effective
Doesn't totally clear acne.

I got though one bottle of this stuff and I was amazed by how good it was. So obviously I bought another bottle - which disappointed me. The second bottle of the very same product didn't work very well.

Pros:

Removes oils, dirt, etc

Cons:

Expensive

I'm not sure why the dermalogica products are so expensive, but they work. I'm sure there's cheaper alternatives, but my mom buys them. They definitely cleanse your face w/o being too drying.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

MADE ME BREAK OUT WORSE

MADE ME BREAK OUT WORSE, MY SKIN STAYED LIKE THAT UNTIL MY OTHER SKIN CARE REGIMINE COULD REVERSE IT. DONT GET SCAMMED INTO BUYING THIS PRODUCT!!!

Pros:

makes me feel clean. my face is extremely oily and it helps a lot! i don't have many pimples but for the ones i do it helps, and it doesn't do a whole lot to my blackheads but they aren't noticable.

Cons:

pricey. not the best smell, but the scented stuff dries out my skin anyway.

buy it. it's worth it. it's consistent. not overly advertised. its not harsh and it doesn't dry out your skin.

Pros:

none

Cons:

everything about dermalogica

My skin has never been awful and it has become this way after using this and other dermalogica product. My cheeks are flaking and breakouts are all over them under my skina nd i've got redness. I look horrible. I am not satisfied at all. :(
