- Q
Is it okay to use this while regularly waxing eyebrows? Will it cause any skin lifting?
- Asked by Emily
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. Age Bright Clearing Serum is not recommended for use before or immediately after waxing primarily because it contains active exfoliating and resurfacing ingredients. Using it before waxing can increase the risk of skin lifting, irritation, or even chemical burns. Best wishes, The Dermalogica TeamWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is it normal for acne to increase after starting to use this product? I had hormonal acne prior to using this product and have been using this product daily. My acne is mostly underneath the skin.
- Asked by Bee
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. Skin purging is your skin clearing out things like clogged pores, dead skin cells, and deep breakouts that were already forming under the surface. It is possible the actives make everything come to the surface faster, so it feels like you're breaking out more than before. This process depends on the individual.

- Q
Can this product be used with Tatcha Texture Tonic?
- Asked by Becky
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. Yes, you can use Dermalogica products alongside other skincare brands, as long as the ingredients are compatible. Dermalogica formulations are designed to be effective on their own but can also work well in a mixed routine. Here are some key things to consider when combining Dermalogica with other brands: 1. Check for Ingredient Conflicts Some active ingredients may not work well together. For example: Retinol (Vitamin A) + AHAs/BHAs: May cause irritation if overused. Vitamin C + Niacinamide: Can work together but may not be ideal for all skin types. Benzoyl Peroxide + Retinol: Can lead to excessive dryness and irritation.

A-MAZING!!
This product is pricey but worth every penny!!! It cleared up my skin and continues to keep it clear. I have very sensitive skin and can't handle fragrance and this doesnt bother me at all.
Not for me :(
TLDR, don't recommend for super sensitive skin, strong fragrance & caused acne after one use. I'm not the intended audience & that is totally fine! Full disclosure, I actually bought this kind of on accident (I'm still working on educating myself about skincare ingredients and got my acids mixed up, I'm so sorry skincare goddesses). I actually don't have very bad acne and only get like one or two pimples every few months. My skin is super sensitive, combo but mostly dry, I've had eczema my whole life, and basically anything can upset my skin (I now know I am not the intended audience for this product, only posting in case it might save somebody else time/money). This stuff has a pretty strong scent, I noticed it when I opened up the bottle and like a fool still put it on my skin despite knowing that I don't tend to react well to anything with a strong fragrance. I haven't used a ton of salicylic acid products in my life, so I'm not sure if it's the salicylic acid being too harsh on my skin or the fragrance, but after using this only once I woke up with acne after not having any for months. I don't feel that one use was enough to begin a purge. Basically just beware if you have skin that will freak out if you look at it the wrong way. And if it works for you and you love it, do your thing!
Pricey but Effective
The price is steep, but this serum has worked really well for my hormonal acne. A little goes a long way, so I just spot apply to stretch it further. It helps soothe my skin and noticeably reduces inflammation.
Love my serum
