Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant!

Hi Beauties!

If you follow me on Instagram, I did a story last week explaining my nighttime skincare routine. I mentioned how much I loved my Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant and many people DM'd me asking for more details! Since I absolutely love it, I wanted to do a special full 30-day review! 

My toughest skin struggle has been achieving and maintaining that clean, hydrated, and "normal skin" on the scale from oily to dry. I just crave for that happy medium but my skin either produces enough oil to fry french fries or is so flaky where it is painful to smile! 

When Dermalogica sent me the Daily Superfoliant, I was over the moon! I am not new to the brand, I have been using the emergency fix spot treatment from their Clear Skin line since the beginning of pharmacy school in Philadelphia (when I started to experience "cheek-ne" - acne on the cheek lol)! 

The Daily Superfoliant is designed to detox the pores and fight pollution triggers which can lead to premature aging. My skin over the years has become dull, dry, and incredibly problematic. If you follow me on Instagram, I had posted a few of my beauty favorites a couple of months ago. I included many high-end products since I found that my normal drugstore exfoliants and cleansers were stripping my skin of the healthy oils and irritating my breakouts. This led my skin to over-produce oils to counteract the dryness which caused my breakouts to grow larger and take longer to diminish.

** Disclaimer: I am not saying drugstore products are ineffective. They worked for me in the past when my skin was not as problematic. If you have a company or product line that works for you, keep doing you!**

I started to see improvement in my skin immediately after using the Daily Superfoliant but I wanted to wait 30 days before I took it to the blog. Since most of my readers do not know my skin or see me personally day-to-day to see the improvement, I wanted to do the product justice and try it for a sufficient amount of time before I did a full review. 



WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL IMPRESSION?

I was amazed! I used it for the first time a month ago and texted a picture of it to my entire family, raved about it on spring break, and shap-chatted a selfie to my friends almost immediately. My skin had never felt smoother or looked more radiant. I also noticed that my serums and moisturizers had soaked in fully overnight because my skin was more plump and elective in the morning and I didn't notice any extra greasiness or residue the next morning like I usually do! My eldest sister described it perfectly, "Facial look without the facial price!

HOW TO USE IT?

The Daily Superfoliant is designed to be used after your normal cleanser (used to remove your day's makeup and dirt, first). It comes as a charcoal sand texture and activates with water. I take about a half a teaspoon in my wet palms and add few drops of water to create a paste texture and apply it to my face and massage it onto my skin in a circular motion gently for about 1-2 minutes. The paste turns into a gentle white foam and exfoliants the dead cells and dirt from the surface of my skin. 

IS IT WORTH THE PRICE?

Totally! The 2 oz. bottle retails for $58. It may seem a little pricey for a face wash but after a month of use, it completely changed the texture and look of my skin completely and I cannot imagine my routine without it.  I still have so much left in the bottle, even after sharing it with my 2 sisters for a week! I go through a bottle of drugstore exfoliants ($8-10) in about a month. In the long run, for the results that it grants, the Dermalgica Superfoliant is more than worth it! At 23, I'm at a point where I am using anti-aging skincare and want to invest in my skin for the long run. My mom has always said "Spend your money in whatever you want but always make sure that you prioritize what you put in your body and on your body." If you want to try it out, before committing fully, you can get a 0.45oz bottle for $18!

30-DAY REVIEW

Happier that I have been before! It was truly the step in my skincare regimen that was missing this entire time! Everything else, such as my serums, eye creams, and moisturizers work better to their fullest potential now and my skin feels healthier than ever before. I have found myself skipping makeup most of the days and for that my skin has responded in less blackheads and clogged pores. I still break-out here and there, but that is normal. I can safely say the Dermalogica Superfoliant is the best product I have ever used to clean my skin!

I hope you found this helpful! I would seriously recommend the Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant to just about anyone that simply wants clean skin! You can get it on the Dermalogica website, Sephora, or Amazon.
