Dermalogica boosts Active Clearing range

Designed to treat problem skin, breakouts and premature ageing, Dermalogica has developed a powerful new retinol oil to complement its effective Active Clearing range.

The brand’s Retinol Clearing Oil combines two potent ingredients in one formula. Salicylic acid rapidly cleans and prevents breakouts, while effective, time-released retinol (vitamin A) helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

Helping to reduce the visible signs of skin ageing, the high-performance night oil visibly renews skin during sleep, promising a clearer complexion and reducing signs of ageing within seven days.

“Retinol can help to reduce the appearance of breakouts by encouraging cell turnover. Retinol works by going into the follicle and communicating with cell receptors to help stimulate skin renewal and increase cell turnover,” explains Dermalogica training executive Janine Da Costa.

The unique formulation’s time-released retinol helps to increase the skin’s resilience and reduce the appearance of uneven tone and hyperpigmentation that increases with age.

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that stimulates natural exfoliation to reduce breakouts and clear skin, while the product is further boosted by Argan, rosehip seed and golden jojoba oils – lightweight phytoactive lipids that work to soothe and nourish the user’s skin.

Dermalogica advises applications of between six and ten drops each night by smoothing the formula gently over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. The brand also encourages clients to wear an SPF product the following day.
