Product Gone Bad

2

I used this product for years every night and absolutely loved it. However this winter, it has burned my skin multiple times. I stopped the use of other products assuming it the redness and burning of my skin was due to something else, but as I took out the other variables it was clear this product was the cause. I even took it back to the store assuming that it was a bad formula but the next product burned my face again. I even used the buffer cream which I haven't in years. Has the formula changed or has this product just gone bad? This is highly disappointing as my skin has never looked worse in all my life after using this.

Great product

I am only using this product 3x a week to start. My skin is very dry and sensitive so I am very careful when introducing new products. So far I have not experienced any issues and love the buffer cream. I really feel the appearance of my skin is already brighter and smoother.

Made me break out

1

I tried to make the switch to dermalogica from another similar brand. I like some of their other products so I thought it was time to try. But using the retinol testers for a week, my skin broke out quite badly. The flakiness was fine - I understand that is temporary but the acne was unlike I'd seen before. I would have a preferred an all-in-one anti-ageing hero cream over fussing with a buffer. Too fiddly and room for error.

Accelerated acne and skin darkening

After a week of using this combination of buffer and retinol my skin darkened and I started to get acne all over my face. Unfortunately I have to discontinue now.

Excellent product

I built the use up with the buffer cream and now use this every other day added to my moisturiser, I am amazed at the results, plumper skin, firmer jawline and no reactions, my skin looks great, I use this and the MAP-15 generator and look younger and my skin has never looked better. I have used other expensive products in the past, some worked OK but they irritated my skin and caused break-outs thanks I never have that trouble with Dermalogica

It's great!

I really like it, it makes a difference when you apply at night and you wake up much more plump in the morning. At first I used it with the buffer, I thought it would be very strong or something, burning the skin and so, but soon I realised I actually didn't need the cream and start using it alone after two applications. The only thing is not changing much is the coloured age spots I have in my cheeks, I thought it might but not really. Pity because that would make it incredible as I wouldn't need anything else for my night routine.

Just did not work for me

1

I am surprised. With every use of this product my skin started getting darker by the shade. Obviously, there the only visible difference was darkness in skin colour. I stopped using it but sad that it was so costly and did not work me.

I have used this product for a month now, building up usage as required and have had increasing under the skin bumps and breakouts. Discontinued use and my face is finally clearing up. Really wanted to like this one.

i bought overnight retinol repair and rapid reveal peel. i have read many good reviews but may i know how to use these 2 products?

Sweetie

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You should not use the products together. It would be too much exfoliation. You can start with one or the other. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Hi, can I use the Overnight Retinol Repair mixed with the Skin Smoothing cream once I have run out of Buffer cream? Thanks

Sara

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Yes, that is a great combination. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Can i use antibac face wash whilst using retinol?

ama

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Try Special Cleansing Gel instead. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

I have a bottle of "overnight retinol repair" from a few years ago. Does it expire? Will it be less effective or cause any side affects?

kmb

Hello , Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Please refer to the Open Jar Label on the package. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

i use medibac clearing skin wash once or twice a week to help with black heads on nose and neck, and to give a thorough skin wash, his helps. the rest of the time i use special cleansing gel. is the medibac clearing skin wash considered an exfoliant and will i have to discontinue its use if i was to start using the overnight retinol repair? if so, can i phase the two, one week use of retinol, the next week medibac, and keep alternating?

ama

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. At your discretion, you can use Overnight Retinol Repair at night and Clearing Skin Wash in the morning, depending on what your skin can tolerate. A patch test is recommended. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Am I able to use skin smoothing cream once my buffer cream runs out?

Tam

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Yes, that is not a problem. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Hi there. OOOppps. what if i only applied the retinol cream without the buffer cream and my skin is flaking and red, what would you suggest to soothe and how soon can i re-continue usage with appropriate mix of retinol with buffer cream?

Retinol newbie

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Discontinue use of retinol and all exfoliation. Something like Calm Water Gel or even Barrier Repair can be used in the mean time to soothe your skin until it goes back to normal. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Hi, I'm using your retinol 1%, how I can target flaky skin, can I exfoliate? If not is there anything else I can do about it? Thank you

Magdalena

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Retinol already exfoliates the skin. Too much exfoliation can sensitize the skin. The best thing you can do is hydrate the skin to repair the flakiness. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

How often should I use overnight retinol?

Dawn

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use it nightly if your skin tolerates it. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Can I use the overnight retinol repair around my eyes

runner

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. For the eye area, try AGE Reversal Eye Complex. Kind Regards, Bernadette
