What makes Dermalogica different?

Dermalogica was started over 25 years ago by an experienced skin therapist with a mission to create practical products with outstanding performance. While most skin care companies focus on beauty in the form of luxurious scents and indulgent textures, Dermalogica’s primary focus is on skin’s health.

Here’s more on Dermalogica’s unique philosophy:

• A focus on fitness. Dermalogica focuses on the “fitness” — or health — of your skin. Instead of drawing in consumers with promises of products that pamper, Dermalogica promises products that perform. That’s why its formulations are free of cheap fillers including mineral oil, lanolin, artificial colors and fragrances. All products are blended with high-quality ingredients, including natural extracts, essential vitamins and minerals.

• An Earth-friendly approach. Dermalogica doesn’t believe in wasting precious ingredients on pretty colors or perfumes. Likewise, this innovative skin care company remains committed to promoting a healthy planet by using sustainable materials and minimal packaging. And Dermalogica never tests its products on animals.
