Ask a woman in your life whether she has a favourite Dermalogica product and she’ll be able to name one. Mine? The Daily Microfoliant (it’s so good!). But even as a beauty editor, what I discovered while trialling products for this review surprised me. The biggest takeaway? Dermalogica is so much more than a brand that makes a cult exfoliant. Sitting down with a group of Gritty Pretty readers (our Real Reviews Members!) to discuss the results from our own product trials, the sentiment was echoed—Dermalogica is a trusted brand and we all had a fave product in our skincare lineups but we were all blown away by the targeted, high-performance nature of the Dermalogica products when used together in a personalised routine.

Before you hear from our skincare-savvy readers directly in the video below, here’s how it worked: each Gritty Pretty Real Reviews member (including moi!) received a Dermalogica Skincare System which was tailored to their skin needs. We used it for 30 days and then came together to discuss how our skin felt before and after the trial. (Yes, I have a dream job…).

I had the pleasure of trialling the Dermalogica Daily Brightness Boosters Kit. Inside the kit was the Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum and Moisturiser, as well as the Daily Glycolic Cleanser. For me personally, this kit totally transformed my skin. I wasn’t using a vitamin C serum regularly prior to this and the combination of the serum and moisturiser created a radiance in my complexion that I haven’t experienced before. I was experiencing dullness and found the Daily Glycolic Cleanser used a gentle, yet effective formula of glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin, bringing luminosity to the forefront. Using the products together, I really saw a difference in the texture of my skin.

But don’t just take it from me—putting the Dermalogica Skincare system to the test over the past month, 20 of our readers are ready to share their thoughts.
