WARNING: DO NOT BUY Dermalogica Until You Read This Review!
Is it a Scam? Does It Really Work? Check Ingredients, Side Effects and More!

Dermalogica is a brand company offering professional skincare products made of high quality ingredients for the treatment of different skin concerns, and for improving skin health in general. It was founded in 1986 by Jane Wurwand and claims that it focuses on skin health more than on its beauty. For this reason they try to avoid ingredients that could cause breakouts and common irritants (including SD alcohol, lanolin, artificial colors, mineral oil, and fragrances). It is a privately owned company based out of Carson, CA, with offices in more than fifty countries in the world. According to the company, their products are used at salons and spas all over the globe. Many of Dermalogica's products have won awards and are manufactured in Southern California, including Moisturizers, Cleansers, Anti-aging products, Exfoliants, Toners, Masques, and Eye treatments.

From a customer satisfaction standpoint, the company claims to have more than 94,000 Facebook likes. However, there are also many negative comments. A few complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau. Some of their best-selling products include Active Moist, Daily Microfoliant, Special Cleansing Gel, Clearing Skin Wash, Dynamic Skin Recovery spf30, Skin Smoothing Cream, Super Rich Repair, Intensive Moisture Balance, Age Smart system and Ultra Calming Cleanser. Are these products really as effective as claimed by the official website that is not so informative, though? What are their basic ingredients? Let's answer these important questions further in this review.

Ingredients of Dermalogica - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?

As it was already mentioned, the company offers a wide variety of skincare products; however, they do not list the ingredients of these products on the official website. It means that there is high risk that they are combined in the wrong way, may potentially cause allergic reactions and be harmful for the human health. To better understand what exactly is included into Dermalogica's products, let's take a look at the ingredient list of one of its most popular products called Active Moist (3.4 oz.). It is a lightweight moisturizing fluid that fights dryness and claims to protect the skin from exterior factors. This moisturizer is said to create an invisible barrier to avoid moisture loss. It contains no oils, while its silk proteins join extracts of sage, burdock, and cucumber to hydrate and calm the skin. It is ideal for normal to oily skin. The product is meant for the next concerns: free radical damage and aging skin. Its major ingredients include Dimethicone, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid, and Amino Acids.

Here is the full ingredient list of Active Moist: Water, Methyl Gluceth-20, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Lactamide MEA, PEG-100 Stearate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cetearyl Alcohol Stearic Acid, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Parietaria Officinalis Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Nasturtium Officinale Flower/Leaf Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Silk Amino Acids, Saponaria Officinalis Leaf/Root Extract, Glycolipids, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl, Lecithin, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Amylopectin/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Panthenol, Allantoin, Cetyl Alcohol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polyquaternium-10, Polysorbate 60, Disodium EDTA, Linalool, Aminomethyl Propanol, Lavandula Hybrida Oil.

Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?

Many people are discussing their Dermalogica results online. You can find both positive and negative reviews; however, it is quite difficult to verify how genuine these testimonials are. Another problem is that not all users leave their reviews online because the product sales are sold through centers mainly. The fact that you can't buy Dermalogica products officially from such general stores as eBay and Amazon make the company behind them very suspicious. These official retailers seem to be selling them unofficially to earn extra money. I am worried with the fact that the Amazon reviews are under assault. Many of the products sold on Amazon come with the reviews claiming that the product was fake, out of date or broken. So, it is better to make orders on the official website of the company. Here are some of the real customers' reviews.

"I met a beauty therapist in Bangkok in 2006. It happened in a swimming pool of a hotel as she was on her way to Australia where she was going to live. So, she had nothing to gain from our conversation. She recommended me dermalogica products to fight signs of my skin aging. At first, I found their moisturizer quite good. Then I ordered the same product from eBay and I didn't notice any difference in my skin. I think this was a fake product"

"Dermalogica scrub is awful for the price it costs. I can say I saw no difference in my skin after using it. It is better to buy an ordinary scrub that costs several times cheaper. I wouldn't buy it again. I wasn't impressed at all"

"I bought Dermalogica Active Moist per the suggestion of the esthetician at Ulta. I have used it for two months and saw no results. It doesn't even smell good! But it is super expensive. I would not recommend this brand to anyone! I am also not satisfied with the customer service of the company"

Where To Buy Dermalogica?

Dermalogica products can be bought from the official website of the company or from a number of retailers online. They range from $20 to more than $200. Active Moist (3.4 oz.) costs $60.00 as a one-time purchase. You can save 15% if you subscribe. Orders more than $50 come with free UPS shipping. All products come with a 30-day return policy, beginning from the purchase date. You will not find it on GNC or Walmart.

My Final Summary

I have very mixed feelings about Dermalogica skincare products. While they work for some users, they don't for others. Some people even experienced certain side effects. There is little evidence that the products can really benefit the skin. Most of them don't match the claims made by the manufacturer in the advertising. I am suspicious that Dermalogica Company tries to earn money rather than to help people manage their sin issues. Finding out full ingredient lists of products is almost impossible. It is a misleading skin care organization, so I cannot recommend Dermalogica products.
