Dermalogica Gel

Around the clock attack on acne - wipes by day and gel at night.


When you have to live with an acne related skin, treating the condition can take a lot of effort before you eventually see results.

In most cases, you'll only see results if you religiously apply products as prescribed by a trained beautician.

But what about when time isn't on your side? You may want to consider a product that is easy to slip into your bag. Purifying skin wipes or an overnight clearing gel, would usually rank as convenient.

Consider using a skin care product that is hygienic and quick cleansing, choose one that will help purify the skin whilst removing excess surface oils and debris.

Ingredients you'll want to look for that help to clear and soothe inflamed skin are the extracts: coneflower, balm mint and camphor.

Witch hazel is also great for keeping skin clean and fresh as it is a congenital astringent. Also , salicylic acid stimulates exfoliation, and is used to clean out impacted follicles and therefore minimising acne formation.

However, caution should be exercised with salicylic acid, as it can irritate very sensitive skin. If you do use it, discontinue use immediately if you experience redness or burning. Always refer to the manufacturers instructions if in doubt.

Depending on where you break out you can use wipes for your face, back, and all other oily areas after cleansing or throughout the day as part of your hygiene routine.

Using a gel product is a good idea. Typically a one that stimulates natural exfoliation will be beneficial, as will one that helps inhibit bacteria whilst helping to supplement the skins own antibacterial properties. Apply before you go to bed and the product will be doing its job whilst you are sleeping.
