- Q
My son is a 15 yo male with inflammatory acne—more concentrated on the temples/forehead. He is using this wash daily. The acne seems to be worsening. Any other suggestions for a skin care routine that may help?
- Asked by Rene
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. For teenagers, we recommend a Clear Start routine. Cleanse: Start with the Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash to deep clean and purify your skin. Use it morning and night. Exfoliate: Use the Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel 1-2 times per week in the evening after cleansing. Apply a generous amount all over your face and neck, leave it on for 7-10 minutes, and then rinse. Target Treatment: Apply the Breakout Clearing Booster directly to blemishes or breakout areas, or use it as a thin layer all over the face after toner and before moisturizer. Moisturize: Skin Soothing Hydrating Lotion is a lightweight moisturizer to help soothe discomfort and hydrate areas that feel dry, making it suitable for younger, breakout-prone skin. This routine is designed to help clear breakouts and maintain healthy-looking skin. Best Wishes, The Dermalogica TeamWas this answer helpful to you

Great product if used as instructed
I've had breakouts since middle school. As I got older, the breakouts changed, but I would get them. After tying a number of other products, I was introduced to Dermalogica. This was before the acne line was released. I was told that if I used the products in the order that I was told, it would work...

Not effective!
I've been using this product religiously now for over a month and I've seen my acne only increasing. Due to the great reputation of this company, along with the recommendation of my dermatologist, I thought I would give it a try, in spite of the expense of the product. I have naturally oily skin and...

First Two weeks Using it
This was my first time purchasing this brand and product face cleanser. I will say it was very very refreshing from day 1 using it and I'm so glad to say it still feels just as amazing as the first day I've used it. I have used it every morning and evening for the past two weeks and have already noticed improvements with my skin! I will continue to use this product for as long as it continues to work it's wonderful magic!

Been using this face for many years. Does not dry out skin and great for sensitive skin.
This stuff last me forever
This is the first time I'm repurchasing this face wash because it's the only thing that keeps my hormonal nodule acne at bay. I bought one of the larger bottles after getting a sample in a kit this plus a good moisturizer gets my skin radiant without needing much else. Plus it lasts a while since you don't even need a full pump to get a good enough lather to do your whole face and neck.
Love this face wash
Verified Buyer
I really love this face wash. I feel like it helps prevent breakouts, without drying out my skin. Only downside is that it is pricey, so I try to mix it up and us other daily cleansers every other wash day.
Did not work for me
I love this brand. I was using the glycolic cleanser (love it) but wanted to try something new. I have breakouts every day now. I don't know if my skin is purging or if it's not for me. I will switch back to my glycolic cleanser ASAP.
