Hi, am a guy and currently using Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance and Sebum Clearing Mask. Previously I was using Active Moist. Everything goes smooth but my blackheads never can be removed. Then I told the beautician, she recommend me the Intensive Moisture Balance (Or another kind of moisturiser which is not Active Moist), she said I probably needed to try stronger moisturiser.

For the result, I have a lot a lot of pimples now. I thought is my cleansing gel problem then I change to another brand. Problem persisted...I stopped using the moisturiser and the pimples seemed under control now, only use toner after washed face.

So can you help me out a bit about this? Did the beautician did the wrong suggestion for me? Thanks.

hi i couldnt comment on whats went wrong on the consultation you had earlier on from salon.
but to me, breakouts could be from varies factor but i will not recommned intensive moisture balance because it suits ultra dry skin condition. over moisture could possible caused you breakouts .in fact, to reduce /get rid of acne skin ,you need some products that minimize excessive oil and reduce oil secretion.
Active Moist is the oil free. or else you can try Oil Control lotion 59ml actually. best is if you can visit more salons to get physical face mapping ya.
Sebum clearing mask is a good choice. but for blackheads and whiteheads,it will not disappear honestly. because human tends to produce sebum everyday.. we use product just to control /minimisze and maintain glowing skin. (there is another target product to reduce blackheads/whiteheads from cellnique as well -skin action sebum gel)

Hi, I had tried that product. Ineffective at all...Blackheads are still on my nose...

agree with you, daily microfolaint is award winning product

hi, I wanna clarify with u the sequence of using eve taylor face oil. put the face oil before or after the toner? I m using multiactive toner.
thanks

HI rayanne, I wonder bedtime cleaning (Kit Start) and the Overnight cleansing gel (medibac) , which one

is more mild ?

i'm looking for a good moisturizer from dermalogica. i have very sensitive skin, if the moisturizer is too oily, i might get pimples or oil seeds very easily. i tried active moist before, it cause small breakouts. any recommendations?

Face Oil should use before toner, thanks!

Clean Start Bedtime for Breakouts is more mild if compare to MediBac Overnight Clearing Gel yeah!

may i know if this only happened when you used only one product -Active Moist? Could it be another product cause the problem?
If it is , you can try the Cellnique Intensive Hydrating Oasis Gel, which is in gel base instead of cream base. I think it should help to improve her skin condition, although both item actually oil free. within dermalogica, active moist already the mild-est moisturiser.

hi there, I had the same situation as yours. I finally just used up to the toner step as my moisturiser, and ever since then, I never had those small breakouts... I guess the toner is good enough acting as our moisturiser, which is a great news for us as we don't need to spend more =P

for some skin condition particular very oily may not need a moisturiser , but do make extra effort for skin hydration because without moisturisation we tend to aged faster

ah, off and on i do use the skin hydrating masque as well so i hope that is sufficient enough =)

Hi there,

I've been using Dermalogica Clay Cleanser for around a few months already and I've been thinking of changing my toner to Dermalogica too. Which toner do you recommend? I don really have oily face, mostly on T zone

good choice =) this can be use daily, or at lease twice a week,

hi wendy87
you can try Multiactive toner 250ml

hey there,i've recently got the eve taylor face oil no.3.im wondering is it ok if i use it with products from other brands?because i understand that the face oil is to be applied before toner,but my toner and moisturizer are not from dermalogica.ur advice is much appreciated!thanks ya

hi this is subject to individual skin condition and what other products ingredient collide with dermalogica ingredients.. only trial can tell

hi,
can Dermalogica Shear Tint Moisture SPF 15 - LIGHT used as makeup based?
how much?
is this oily?

I'm using Dermalogica products:

Essential Cleansing Solution
Multi Active Toner
Skin Hydrating Masque
Skin Smoothing Cream

I do not know is all this product suits me well or not. My cheeks quite dry, and also got freckles, uneven toned as well... nose a bit oily, no pimples but a lot of blackheads ...

Is that fine?

Yes! It can use as Make Up Base, but I don't think it is oily. Retail Rm178.
It takes extra time to pre order from salon. Thank you.

hi felice821
i have provided the retail price as above ya.
all the products are fine to use for your skin condition; if you think skin smoothing cream is too moisture, you can try active moist.
i would suggest you to try Daily microfolaint scrub 75g to remove dead skin cell and allow new skin cell regrow, it can improve even skin tone /smootheir skin condition and helps to minimize blackheads

Thanks Rayanne!

Btw, why some recommend me using the Special cleansing gel, whats the different?

Should I used Gentle Cream Exfoliant? or just the Daily Microfoliant will do??

And whats the discount price for the above listed item??

This is a bit out of topic, did the salon you order do facial as well.. if yes, how much?

hi felice pls see my response above in green ya.
you are in correct topic as this is focus only on consultation/sharing on dermalogica =)
