Q&A
Is this vegan/vegetarian?
Hi Anon, Yes, we're happy to share that all current Dermalogica product formulas are certified vegan by PETA. This means our products contain no animal-derived ingredients, and we’re proud to uphold cruelty-free practices as well. If you have any questions about specific products or ingredients, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help! Warm regards, Sandra
Hi, I have read two different answers about the percentage of salicylic acid in this product, one says it's less than 0.5% and the other says it's 2%. Which one is it? Also, is this product vegetarian-friendly?
Hello Anon, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Our breakout clearing booster has 2% salicylic acid. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Can I use this with AGE bright clearing serum if so before or after this breakout clearing booster?
Hi Jen! For effective results, please use one serum at a time. For example, you can use the Breakout Clearing Booster during the day and use the AGE Bright Clearing Serum in the evening. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Hi, how is this product different from Post Breakout Fix? Can you use them at the same time or is it better to use one in AM and the other in PM?
Hello Julie, The Post-Breakout Fix and Breakout Clearing Booster are two different products designed to target different concerns related to breakouts. The Post-Breakout Fix is a gel-cream spot treatment that helps brighten and fade Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from breakouts while nourishing and restoring the skin's appearance. It is specifically formulated to address post-breakout marks and uneven skin tone. The Breakout Booster has a different formula and can be used effectively as both a spot treatment and a serum. that helps clear pores and kills breakout-causing bacteria for rapid skin clearing. It works to prevent breakouts and minimize breakout formation. If you wanted to use both I would suggest using one in the AM and one in the PM. It's important to note that when using a serum or spot treatment, it's best to use only one at a time. This approach allows the product to work at its optimal potential. We are committed to providing you with the best skincare options and are here to assist you in achieving your skin health goals. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can do to assist you. Kind Regards, Melissa Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
How long does it take till you see results?
Hi, Alina! Thank you for your question. It is important to be patient and persistent to view full results. It can typically take 1-2 weeks to notice improve! Kind Regards, Beatriz
