Breakouts

If you're finding your skin to be drier, more sensitive, and prone to hyperpigmentation or scarring as you age, this is completely normal and is due to slower healing. Harsh spot treatments can worsen breakouts by dehydrating the skin and damaging the barrier, creating a cycle of irritation and infection. For clearer skin, choose gentle formulas that maintain the skin’s natural pH and moisture. Look for Salicylic Acid to effectively clear pores. Start with a double cleanse, using an oil-based pre-cleanser followed by a medicated wash, like PreCleanse and Clearing Skin Wash. Next, apply a hydrating serum with Salicylic Acid and Niacinamide to support healing and clear blockages, such as AgeBright Clearing Serum. Always follow with a hydrating moisturizer to prevent dryness too, which can lead to excess oil production and clogged pores. Prebiotic technology in products like Active Moist can also help balance breakout-causing bacteria. Shop Dermalogica products and tackle those breakouts gently and effectively.
