1. Dermalogica Microfoliant.

What:

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is an exfoliating powder that's suitable for all skin types and beloved by beauty editors.

Why it's so good:

It'd be plain rude to talk about Dermalogica scrubs and exfoliants without mentioning the GOAT (greatest of all time), the Dermalogica exfoliating scrub aka Daily Microfoliant.

This Dermalogica rice powder exfoliant combines super gentle physical exfoliation with enzymatic exfoliation and chemical exfoliation to gently but effectively address uneven skin tone and texture.

Take a half-teaspoon of the Dermalogica exfoliant powder into very wet hands, rubbing hands together to create a creamy paste.

Massage into the skin in circular motions, rinse thoroughly and voila!

2. Dermalogica Age Smart Super Rich Repair.

What:

Dermalogica Age Smart Super Rich Repair 50g is a super-concentrated, heavyweight cream that nourishes, restores and defends chronically dry, dehydrated and prematurely-aging skin.

Why it's so good:

This face cream is the crème de la crème: Dermalogica Age Smart Super Rich Repair.

The shea butter and peptide formula is rich and heavy... which is exactly what you want to keep chronically dry skin cocooned from the elements.

Normal, oily and combination skin types could use it more like a salve when needed.

3. Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.

Why it's so good:

A product that can read your skin's mind and give it exactly what it wants? It's either quiet confidence or arrogance.

The technology behind how this serum works is a tad complex to sum up in one sentence.

The non-comedogenic formula helps the skin retain moisture, without blocking pores, making it suitable for congested or acne-prone skins, too.

6. Dermalogica BioLumin-C Gel Moisturiser.

What:

Dermalogica BioLumin-C Gel Moisturiser 50ml is your lightweight yet super plumping gel moisturiser for all skin types.
