Our Dermalogica Essentials For Acne-Prone, Sensitive Skin
Dermalogica
Daily Microfoliant, N/A
For A Gentle Exfoliation
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt over the years is not to overwork my skin. Having spent years using harsh, beady scrubs that often exacerbated the problem, I now look to gentler formulas. This exfoliating treatment has been a staple in my routine for over five years. The power-to-paste formula not only helps to polish my skin, but it also calms and soothes with colloidal oat and allantoin.
Dermalogica
Clear Start Duo, N/A
For Curbing Breakouts
If there’s one thing I can rely on to ease and prevent future breakouts, it’s the Clear Start range. Packed with salicylic acid, which is the go-to ingredient for acne-prone skin, this cleanser and treatment duo helps to gently exfoliate your skin and minimise breakouts. It’s been a complete saviour for me on countless occasions.
Dermalogica
Invisible Defense SPF 30, N/A
For Daily Protection
I’ve always struggled to find an SPF that protects without irritating my sensitive, acne-prone skin. This has often meant I’d go without. Thankfully, this weightless formula offers SPF30 protection, while green tea and a bio-active mushroom complex helps to ease redness and inflammation. As expected from the name, it has an invisible finish so it’s perfect all for skin tones.
Dermalogica
Calm Water Gel, N/A
For Much Needed Hydration
Finding a moisturiser for my oily skin was also a challenge until I discovered this weightless gel. The formula locks in moisture without feeling heavy or leaving any greasiness. Regardless of your skin type, this is a great product for the summer months as it’s cooling and sits seamlessly under makeup.
Dermalogica
Retinol Clearing Oil, N/A
For Overnight Results
This is the product that’s made the biggest difference to my skin. The high-performance oil combines the breakout-clearing benefits of salicylic acid and the anti-ageing powers of retinol to smooth and clear your skin overnight. It’s been expertly formulated to ensure no irritation or dryness – something I can definitely vouch for.
Dermalogica
Skin Smoothing Cream, N/A
For SOS Moments
With the help of hyaluronic acid, mallow extract and vitamin C and E, this soothing cream calms stressed-out skin and restores your skin’s barrier. I apply a thin layer all over or spot-treat irritated areas. For Irish beauty fans, it's a must-have all year round, especially on cold, windy days.
