Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight series is in it’s final stages of filming around Vancouver, Canada.
The head make-up artist on the set of the film recently had to call in an emergency order of Dermalogica PreCleanse - our lightweight cleansing oil that enables oil-based debris to be easily cleansed from the skin without leaving behind any greasy residue.
The make-up artist had 25 vampires on set and she found PreCleanse to be only thing that gently shifted the heavy make-up from the actors skin without harsh rubbing or over cleansing. It’s our saviour as well!

Native to California, Dermalogica is recognized worldwide as the professional’s choice in skin care. But what’s the story behind the brand, and when did it all begin? Hear the story first-hand from Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand in her fun, relatable radio interview with internationally acclaimed speaker Dr. Teena Cahill.
On Dr. Cahill’s radio program “Nurturing the Nurturers,” Jane reveals her personality is the result of life-long, empowering experiences that now live and breathe in Dermalogica. Both Jane and Dr. Cahill are leaders who know this country is one of opportunity. They both believe when opportunity is combined with our innate resilience, and a desire to grow and learn, we find the authentic leader within us…and this process unleashes our greatest potential.
Over 20 years ago, Dermalogica made waves in the industry: first for being free of common fillers in most skin care products, and second for hailing from America in an industry flooded with brands deemed more prestigious due to international roots.
As we’ve grown to be the number one professional skin care brand worldwide, we’ve never stopped making our products in the USA – all while chalking up praise from press abroad!
The UK’s InStyle 100 Best Beauty Buys 2009 were recently announced, and Dermalogica is a 4-time winner and 4-time recipient of the InStyle Hall of Fame award (honoring those products who win their category three years in a row).
Covering a range of must-have products in personal care, this achievement is no small feat: the InStyle 100 Best Beauty Buys are a guide to the best beauty products on the market as “tried, tested and voted for by 165 of the UK’s top make-up artists, hairdressers, skincare gurus and nail technicians.” This year their esteemed panel of judges included the likes of Daniel Sandler, Ruby Hammer and Jemma Kidd.
Collecting over 25 wins since the inaugural issue, Dermalogica has hold fast to popular categories including:
Best Wipe-Off Cleanser (and Hall of Fame 2007 inductee): UltraCalming Cleanser, “This gentle cleanser is very convenient when travelling, as you can use it with or without water,” says make-up artist Mary-Jane Frost, who’s worked with the likes of Mischa Barton and Duffy.
Best Facial Exfoliator (and 2006 Hall of Fame inductee): Daily Microfoliant®, “Skin expert Carina Cohen likes to rise and shine with this rice bran and salicylic-acid based exfoliator.”
Best Moisturizer for Normal to Oily skin (and 2007 Hall of Fame inductee): Active Moist, “This champion fluid just keeps winning over our judges.”
And our breakout star Overnight Clearing Gel, the newest Dermalogica product welcomed into the Hall of Fame for being the Best Spot Treatment more than 3 years running. “…this light gel is every make-up pro’s best-kept secret.”
The Dermalogica Foundation has been working to give back to the community since 1999 by providing support, both financial and volunteer, to local, grass-roots organizations that benefit women and children in need, are non-denominational, and are not supported by any other major source of funding.
That’s why we’re proud to have been part of the initial funding and grand opening of the Everychild Foundation Youth Center, featuring “The Dermalogica Foundation By Youth For Youth” room, dedicated in honor of our support of this project from infant stages to completion!
The Everychild Foundation Youth Center is a 2-story, 11,500 square foot building designed to host pre-teen, teen and community programs. In addition to “The Dermalogica Foundation By Youth For Youth” room, the building houses a computer lab, multi-media room, library, fitness room, multi-purpose space for dance and other performing arts, and a large room for community meetings and activities.
The new building is part of the Mar Vista Family Center in Culver City, California – an ultimate “grass roots” agency that recruits and trains each child’s family and neighbors to help fight the neighborhood’s devastating social problems. Mar Vista serves a low-income, densely populated, gang-ridden urban neighborhood adjacent to the only federal housing project in West Los Angeles.
Integral to the Mar Vista self-empowerment philosophy is “By Youth for Youth”: the programs, all youth-led, focus on developing leadership skills and confidence for at-risk peers (ages 13-21). Participants then go on to lead activities, such as tutoring and pre-teen mentoring for younger groups (ages 5-12) in the Mar Vista family.
Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand represented The Dermalogica Foundation at the grand opening ceremonies, and was honored to be a part of the celebration of this amazing accomplishment for the children and teens of Mar Vista Family Center.
