Bad news for acne: Great news for skin

By The Beauty Book

Thanks to mask wearing, changing work environments and lifestyle habits during Covid, many of us are experiencing new skin problems. Amongst these is acne. 

If your spring goals include clear glowing skin, then you’ll be enamoured at the news of the newest offering from highly respected global brand Dermalogica. Freshly launched this month, Clear Start Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel has the perfect blend of acids to help banish breakouts, plus the iridescent purple formula puts the shimmer back in your skin with a blend of natural colourants and minerals. 

The exfoliating peel is the newest addition to Dermalogica’s Clear Start range of products; formulated to tackle acne, whilst also delivering exceptional skin benefits.

Delivering a custom blend of 10% AHAs and 2% BHAs, it’s specially formulated to target breakouts, resurface skin for a smoother texture, and fade post-breakout marks.

Here’s why it’s bad news for acne: 2% Salicylic Acid exfoliates deep under the skin to banish blackheads and breakouts. 

Here’s why it’s great news for skin: 10% Lactic, Mandelic, and Azelaic Acids resurface skin to reveal a more even and brighter skin tone.

How to use: 1-2 times per week in the evening after cleansing, apply a generous amount all over the face and neck. Slight tingling is normal. Leave for 7-10 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Follow with your regular skincare routine.

Availability: Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel comes in a 30mL bottle as part of the Clear Start range and retails for RRP $55. Find it at authorised Dermalogica Skin Centres, Department Stores, Life Pharmacies and online at dermalogica.co.nz
