I know it says to use before a moisturizer, but if I wanted to apply a serum to my face as well, would I apply this before or after the serum ? Or should I not use a serum at all when I use this ?

Q
About how long does it take for it to actually work? I have been using it for about two weeks and it seems that my acne has become worse, but sometimes I know with products it gets worse before it gets better.
Asked by Maddy
Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand Engage
Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. If your breakouts are becoming worse we recommend that you stop using it. It may be too active for your skin. Allow any dryness or irritation to return to normal. You can try Foaming Wash and Soothing Hydrating Lotion for a few weeks to address breakouts.

This stuff really works. When i wake up the next morning after applying at night my breakouts are gone. I almost always get some sort of bumps on my face after i wear makeup but this takes them away immediately. I hate the price, but its effective!
