I love how you explain each product and it’s benefits in such depth. Thank you. I love it here ❤
PreCleanse is one of my favorite things to sell , I love how in depth you went
I love Precleanse!!! I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I used Dermalogica while in Texas, we has a salon in our school. Love it!!
Love the daily microfoliant!!! Can’t go without it now tbh. P much completely eliminates my undereye dryness when I use it regularly

The grit just sucks for dryer skin. Therefore I'm not fond of it AT ALL LOL. BUT THERES NOT MUCH IN DERMALOGICA TO CHOOSE FROM. The new milkfoliant is food for dry skin but not enough grit 😭😅 there are other exfoliants in other brands I love like control corrective, but when prescribing to my clients daily microfoliant is what I prescribe a lot of them .
I use the pre cleanse, clearing skin wash, microfoliant, antioxidant hydromist toner, circular/ vitamin c serum, active moist, and sleep cocoon(at night) and the awaken peptide eye gel. I love dermalogica. Thanks for the video!

Those are all great products!! Except I didn’t love the vitamin C serum for myself. Perhaps because I’m acne prone and certain vitamin C’s can trigger breakouts. But I’m so glad you found a regimen that works for you!!

@@Sophie_theesthetician I definitely like the circular hydration serum more but I use vitamin c every now and then :)
The dermalogica ultracalming range is great for my rosacea prone skin. I went back to using cheap skin care for financial reasons and oh my goodness, do I regret it. The daily micro exfoliamt is brilliant but so many people don't know how to use it. The pre cheese is brilliant as well.
Appreciate this video so much! I’m needing to stock up and will add your recommendations that I don’t have.

Can I use the pre cleanse, a cleanser, the daily exfoliant, toner, hyaluronic acid serum, Niacinamide, eye cream and moisturizer as a daily routine or would that be too harsh?
@Sophie_theesthetician

Hi! Which niacinamide are you referring to? Is it the professional use ionactive? If so it’s 100% not for daily home use. And please don’t purchase the professional products from 3rd party sellers because they might not be authentic. In theory the rest of that routine is not too harsh but I would need to evaluate your skin to know if it’s right for you!

Hi Sophie! I’m 60, been told I’m blessed with normal skin, no excess oil, no acne as a teen or adult. I’ve never used anti aging, pretty much just typical drug store but good products and started wearing It your skin or better foundation a few years back for first time in my life. Ok, my question is what would be your recommendation for a great and necessary skin care routine for me? Love your video!

The right amount and type of cleansing will not remove ALL your natural serum- just the excess on the surface. It all depends on your skin type and condition. I recommend using a serum and/or moisturizer after cleansing. It can still be good to use Precleanse even if you don’t wear makeup. Dermalogica recommends it for everyone for removing surface and oil based debris, but I wouldn’t make it your first priority if you don’t have a solid cleansing + moisturizing routine already.
I'm 23 would you say it's too early for me to use the age and clearing serum for active breakouts and hyperpigmentation?

No it should not. It’s good for oily skin because it has oil loving and water loving properties, meaning it’ll grab oils but also rinse off clean with water. Then you should follow up with a water based cleanser anyway, so that should remove any residue.

I would speak to an esthetician who can look at your skin and ask you all the right questions! Some stores that carry dermalogica have an esthetician on site! I don’t like the agesmart range for me and my clients because we’re all acne prone, but things like retinol and AHAs are good for both acne and anti aging!
I got a small bottle of the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant to use just under my lip area and the corners of my nose. Can I use this Daily in the PM? I'm also not sure where to use it routine wise. Last night I did my Oil Cleanser on just certain areas, cleaned off those twos areas, used the Microfoliant on those spots after I patted dry unless damp is ok, and followed up with my moisturizer. I also apply another layer of my moisturizer at night once the other has soaked in. Unsure if that's ok to do or just apply it to my cheeks that are dry at night? I don't do it AM.

It’s pretty gentle so I would try using it all over, and daily is fine for most people. Do what feels best for your skin.
You want a mineral based sun block because it lasts longer before it breaks down.. That's what SPF is. That's why mineral based sun screens will be higher. SP F. The amount of actual protection between the SP f's numbers is literally only 1%. The only difference is that the mineral base will last a lot longer before breaking down.

You're allowed to think what you want. But I will share that clients consistently comment on how knowledgable and patient I am lol. I've even had clients who return to me after not having the best results with their service because they trust me and get along with me. Everything I do for my business is with my clients' best interests in mind. I've never found myself in an argument with a client before, except the one time a client refused to pay me the $400+ she owed me. Moreover, this video is meant to be educational and an honest review. I'm sorry that the way I deliver the information is a turnoff to you, but you commenting on how I would treat a client is not fair.
