In addition to the Retinol Clearing Oil, I also have the Dark Spot Serum. Can I use both products?
- Asked by Jennifer S
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. Yes, you can use both the Retinol Clearing Oil and the PowerBright Dark Spot Serum together. Here’s how to use them: Cleanse your skin: Start with a gentle cleanser to prepare your skin. Apply the PowerBright Dark Spot Serum: Each morning after cleansing and toning, apply one pump of the serum over your face and neck in light, upward strokes. Allow one minute for the product to absorb. Use the Retinol Clearing Oil: At night, after cleansing, gently press the button on the dropper to dispense 6-10 drops into your hands. Smooth the oil over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. For best results, use the PowerBright Dark Spot Serum in the morning and the Retinol Clearing Oil at night.

Works well and is gentle
I was looking for a new oil to incorporate into my skincare routine. I was using Niacinamide and vitamin C (sparingly) but wanted to try something geared more towards anti-aging since most of my spots are barely noticeable anymore. I had never tried a retinol before but was already researching it, s...

Not worth the price

Used this product at night for my oily and breakout prone face. Sadly i did not notice any improvement. I still broke out as usual and my face remained oily. I did not like the oil feel. Pricey purchase only to disappoint
Changed my skin!

Great addition to my nightly routine. Skin feels brighter and cleaner every day
This product completely changed my skin for the better!!

As a Certified Skin Specialist & a person who has always struggled with sensitive + acne prone skin, I cannot say enough good things about this retinol! It is hard for me to find a product that doesn't dry out & sensitize my skin, but also treats my breakouts. That was until I found this product! Within 3 months my ance has been maintained by at least 75% & I'm starting to see HUGE differences in my hyperpigmentation which is super important as a POC. Definitely a must-try for anyone with breakout-prone skin!!!
Awful smell.
Reviewed at

I absolutely hate the smell. I find it takes a while to try since it is so oily. My face doesn't hate it but I dread using it due to the smell. I won't buy it. I was given as a gift since I only use their products.
