Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Kit Review

Ok,so I waited this long before I wanted to write in about this set as I was a little skeptical at first,but seeing it was trailed on my 13year old acne prone skin son,I needed to see how it works truly. I showed him the routine he needed to do according to the instructions (which I might add are very clear & concise,excellent for a teen)..anyway,he religiously followed the course & over the weeks,we certainly noticed an improvement in his skin especially the texture. Less pimples & even clearing already scars & texture that he had prior. I along with my 13year old is extremely happy with these results (& although he has exzma programme didn't irritate or flare up his skin) I have now been asked to get him the full set so he can continue with clear skin throughout his teens..so very happy with these results

Having used this product for a month now, I found that it significantly helped with clearing my skin and preventing breakouts.

Since using the product, breakouts that have occurred have been much smaller and less severe, with a lot less redness.

As I have incredibly sensitive skin, I find that a lot of acne treatment products, along with the Isotretinoin medication I use cause my skin to become dry and irritated, sometimes with rash like symptoms. This product has helped with reducing breakouts while causing only minimal dryness/flaking and irritation. My skin is now relatively smooth as a result of using the product.

After using this product, I am very happy with the results and will definitely consider using it in the future.

Usually as Im really busy in the mornings I would just use a product that had a one step process. However, although these products were helpful in washing my skin, the Dermalogia Breakout Kit was able to produce better results in less time as it combined a multitude of options to help replentish my Skin.There were however a few things that could be done to improved in this product. First was the Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash - 50 mL. I feel that although it had a nice fragrance, it didnt quite foam to its full potential making me use more in one dosage, consequently causing the product to run out faster than it would have if the amount of foam increased. Next was the Breakout All over Toner. For someone who doesn't like having things sprayed in my face I was dreading using this product. However as I continued to use it the product became one of my favourites as it was refershing and also has a nice smell. Maybe you could introduce an ulternative option with a different lid as well as the spray? The Oil Clearing Matte Moisturizer SPF15 - 15 mL was the item I have not issues. A really great Moisturizer with a nice texture and enough was provided to fully moisturize my skin. Both the Breakout clearing Daytime treatment and the Breakout clearing Nighttime treatmment were ok. I prefered the Daytime treatment as it was a thinner consistancy than the Nightime treatment. Although I had some small issues with this product, overall I enjoyed it and would use it again if it was cheaper :)

Let me just start off by saying I have problem skin that tends to breakout when I'm under stress, sick, hormonal or just generally tired (I'm a Uni student so pretty much all the time). Overall I quite enjoyed this kit and It has significantly improved my skin, although at the beginning when I started using the kit my face broke out horribly around my chin and cheek bones. I am almost one month into using it now and my face is almost completely clear and I’m nearing the end of most of the cream products. I originally thought that it having 5 products were going to take way too long when you're in a hurry but it turns out that once you get into it and figure out how much product is best for your skin it only takes about 3 minutes for the whole process. ~ Foaming Wash ~ I liked this cleanser a lot, it didn't foam up too much and was refreshing. It also is quite useful for removing makeup in the evenings. (it isn't specifically stated on the packet but still works ok at getting daily light makeup off). I used about a 10-cent coin worth of product each time. ~All Over Toner ~ I liked how refreshing this was and the lemongrass and orange smell was lovely. The downside of this product was that occasionally if my skin was extra sensitive or if I had exfoliated earlier that day the toner and breakout cream would burn my skin when first applied. This only happened three times. ~Daytime Treatment~ I mostly spread this on my problem areas and in any breakouts. There doesn’t appear to be a dramatic change/ banishment of pimples after application however this stops it from getting worse as the day progresses. The consistency is good, not too creamy and not harsh on the skin like some other treatment products. I use the amount of about a pea or two – sometimes more if I have a particularly bad break out. Spread this thinly over the problem areas and wait for it to sink in before applying any makeup or else it will smudge. ~Oil Clearing Matte Moisturizer SPF15~ The oil mattifying moisturising cream didn’t have as visible a mattifying effect as I wanted it to but it still did a pretty good job of general moisturising. I used it mostly in the morning as it was lightweight and worked as a good base my makeup and instead used a thicker moisturiser at night. This moisturiser is soothing to the skin, it absorbs easily and gives a nice fresh feeling. The SPF is a huge plus for me and as I have really pale skin that burns easily. Unlike some other spf moisturizers this didn’t have a greasy feeling. ~Overnight Treatment ~ I liked this product more as it was quite effective. When I wake up in the morning I see my skin REALLY relaxed and purified. This helped makes my pores less clogged and clears it up. I like this product the most of all of them. I would use this kit again if it wasn’t so expensive. This product cleared up my skin and helped a lot but don't expect it to clear up immediately- be patient and persistent and you will be rewarded :)
