Will this product help clear black spots on the face
- Asked by Kee

We do recommend the following options based on your specific concerns: 1. Serums & Treatments PowerBright Dark Spot Serum – Targets dark spots with niacinamide, hexylresorcinol, and shiitake mushroom extract to brighten skin over time. Age Bright Clearing Serum – Great if you have post-breakout marks, as it contains salicylic acid and niacinamide to clear skin and fade pigmentation. Biolumin-C Serum – A potent Vitamin C serum that helps brighten, even skin tone, and reduce oxidative stress. 2. Moisturizers PowerBright Moisturizer SPF 50 – Combines daily hydration with SPF to protect against sun-induced pigmentation. Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 – A great anti-aging moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF to prevent further discoloration. 3. Exfoliants Daily Microfoliant – A gentle, rice-based powder exfoliant with phytic acid and licorice extract to brighten skin over time. Daily Glycolic Cleanser – Contains glycolic acid to remove dull, pigmented skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion. Rapid Reveal Peel – A professional-grade exfoliating peel with lactic acid and pumpkin enzymes for more intense brightening. 4. Sunscreen (Essential for Preventing Dark Spots!) Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30 – A mineral sunscreen that protects against UV and blue light, which can contribute to pigmentation. PowerBright Moisturizer SPF 50 – Hydrating with SPF for daily protection against dark spots. Best Wishes, The Dermalogica TeamWas this answer helpful to you

Hello I want to start taking care of my skin but don't know where to start or what products work for me. I do have really dry skin
- Asked by Aileen F
- Official Answer By Dermalogica US - Brand EngageHello, thank you for contacting Dermalogica. Ultracalming Cleanser is a great start! This is gentle cleansing gel/cream to help calm and cool reactive, sensitized or overprocessed skin. Delicately fortifies skin’s protective barrier without leaving an irritating residue. Additionally, to address dryness, we suggest you incorporate Circular Hydration Serum to kick-start skin’s hydration cycle: long-lasting serum immediately floods skin with hydration, replenishes from within, and helps prevent future hydration evaporation.

Amazing cleanser.
I love this cleanser. I've tried a few of the other Dermalogica ones and they leave my skin feeling tight, this is the only one that leaves my skin feeling hydrated yet clean.

I would be wary of this if you get congested acne/spots
I was recommended to use Dermalogica products by my beauty therapist. I have had issues with my skin for 10+ years - not only do I have very sensitive skin that can dry out, but I also have oily, acne prone skin (particularly around the chin which is also due to hormonal acne).

Doesn't cleanse
I love Dermalogica products and purchase many of them regularly. I bought this during Ulta's sale and sad to report that it doesn't clean at all, it doesn't remove makeup, and it just stays on my skin like a lotion. After I wash it off, it just feels like I didn't wash my face. I used it to clean a makeup brush that I use powder on and nothing came off, it just made the powder stick more to the brush. That was concerning, I wish I could return it but I waited to use the product.
Too "calm" of a cleanser?
I was excited to use this, but it did not work at all as a cleanser. Is it too calm (gentle) of a cleanser that it doesn't clean? I had so much makeup stuck to my eyes and face even after two washes. Makes the product even more expensive if you have to use it multiple times for one cleanse. I wouldn't get this again. I honestly just want to toss it out but that's so wasteful (as is this product).
Love that you can wipe

Love that you can wipe or rinse off. No need to worry about residue. Very kind to my sensitive skin.
