Our verdict

A warming face scrub with acids and retinol that polishes away dull skin for smoother texture. Acids plus retinol can irritate sensitive skin, so start slowly.

Overview

People with dull, rough skin get a Dermalogica exfoliant that combines a physical polish with lactic acid, salicylic acid and retinol. Thermal technology warms on the skin to help the ingredients work further in.

Pairing scrub and acids in one step gives quick smoothness and glow. The combination of acids and retinol is strong for reactive skin, and the listing gives no directions.

Who it's for

Dull or rough skin that needs a reset is the target. People with very sensitive skin, active irritation or using other strong actives should be cautious.

Performance notes

Physical exfoliants lift dead cells while lactic and salicylic acid loosen them chemically, so texture smooths quickly. The warming effect helps ingredients penetrate. Frequency matters more than pressure for avoiding irritation.
