The Dermalogica Difference

Dermalogica was researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute, the foremost training center in the United States for advanced professional skin care. Created in response to today's demand for highly active products that work in a simple and effective manner, Dermalogica products are salon tested under srtict supervision and contain no unnecessary ingredients.

Non-Comedogenic - Dermalogica avoids ingredients which can cause skin sensitivity or breakout.

No Lanolin - Because lanolin is comedogenic and can cause allergic reactions. Dermalogica uses only non-comedogenic silk amino acids and vegetable squalane as natural moisturizing agents.

No Mineral Oil - Mineral oil can leave a greasy film on the skin's surface. Dermalogica uses only lightweight, natural vegetable oils as alternative emollients.

No Artificial Colours or Fragrances - Dermalogica allows the natural ingredients of each product determine its colour and fragrance, minimizing the potential for allergic and comedogenic reactions.

No S.D. Alcohol - S.D. alcohol can strip natural moisture from the skin. Dermalogica uses naturally astringent botanical extracts and oil-absorbing clays to treat oily skin.

No Formaldehyde - Because formaldehyde preservatives can be drying and irritating. Dermalogica uses food grade preservatives and natural Vitamin E to ensure stability of its products.

Contamination-Free Packaging - Products that are packaged in jars are easily contaminated with bacteria from hands and environment. Dermalogica packages its products in the most hygienic containers to avoid cantact contamination during use.

No Animal Testing - Instead of animal testing, Dermalogica conducts thorough in-vitro safety testing its products.
