Dermalogica Clear Start

Teenage skincare is often inexpensive but full of harsh, drying, artificial ingredients that can strip skin of natural oils and irritate hormonal acne further. When Dermalogica’s founder, Jane Wurwand, saw her own daughters enter their teenage years, she recognised that there were few gentle acne treatments to clear teenage skin.

The Clear Start range from Dermalogica balances active ingredients with soothing botanicals to deliver long-term results on teenage acne. With a system of eight effective products, from clay masks and overnight spot treatments to facial toners and acne face washes, the Clear Start range promises clear skin for teens and young adults.

What are the key features and benefits of the Dermalogica Clear Start range?

• Skincare developed for teenage skin suffering with blemish prone skin
• Helps to clear congestion, whiteheads, and blackheads
• Utilises active ingredients and soothing botanicals
• Free from harsh and drying artificial ingredients
• Can be used to help clear face and body blemishes

What are the key ingredients used in the Dermalogica Clear Start range?

Instead of incorporating harsh and inexpensive ingredients as other teenage skincare ranges do, Dermalogica Clear Start relies on proven ingredients and gentle botanicals to control sebum levels and clear clogged pores.

Salicylic Acid is a pore-cleaner that dives deep into the skin and clears out dead cells, trapped oils, and bacteria. It is one of the best ingredients for blemish removal, as it clears congested skin and wipes out existing and future breakouts. Salicylic Acid is commonly used throughout the Clear Start range.

Botanicals such as Tea Tree Oil have antiseptic properties that help to keep skin clean and clear from blemishes and stop the spread of bacteria. Cucumber, Menthol, and Lavender are also used to help calm redness caused by active blemishes. 

Who should use the Dermalogica Clear Start range?

Clear Start Dermalogica has been developed for teenagers and young adults who suffer from blemish prone skin and want calming ingredients that still have dramatic effects on the skin.

How should the Dermalogica Clear Start range be applied?

Clear Start contains eight effective and powerful products to completely transform teenage skin. 

Start with Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash, a facial cleanser that washes away dead skin cells, dirt, and excess oils. This acne cleanser unclogs pores, which in turn reduces breakouts, and is the perfect face wash for oily and acne-prone skin.

Next up, Toner.
