Dermalogica Active Moist

So they said that Victoria Beckham is using Dermalogica products too. I wouldn’t be surprised as its range of skincare products are awesome. I’ve been wanting to try their products for quite some time already because of the reviews I’ve heard of their products and the way my dad has been encouraging me to give it a go since my teen days. So I finally did and yes, I noticed major changes to my skin and it’s so awesome

I have sensitive dry combination skin and it’s really annoying as choosing the right skincare product is vital or else I’d suffer a horrible spell of horrid skin condition. When I was in high school, I thought my skin was the oily type and resorted to skincare for oily skin until I graduated high school but the pimples kept popping and my skin was even more oily. In short, wrong choice bad skin. But of course I didn’t know the cause of the increased oiliness and continued using skincare for oily skin until one day where I had to buy a tub of moisturiser for dry and sensitive skin as my usual tub was out of stock. I was so darn worried that my skin would be worse but still continued using it as I was desperate for moisturiser and no one in my house uses anything more than a facial wash. To my surprise, my skin was glowing and it looked much less oily after I used it. Then it got me thinking that maybe all these while my skin wasn’t the oily type and I’ve been depriving it of its much needed moisture hence the horrible pimples.

From that day on, I’ve been using moisturisers for dry skin BUT my skin wasn’t as best as I felt it should be until I visited Leonard Drake during my fortnightly back spa and the therapist recommended that I use Dermalogica Active Moist. It’s supposed to be great for combination skin as our skin are dry in certain areas and oily in the other so this moisturiser is supposed to moisturise at the right place and at the right level. I was of course skeptical at first but got conned into trying it coz I’m such a sucker for skincare and cosmetics that I’ve not tried before.

It works. It works. You have no idea how happy I was that my skin stayed smooth and completely not shiny for more than 3 hours. Its so awesome and my skin felt so soft while the texture of my skin improved. How do I know this? It was my usual shampoo girl who told me that my skin look so radiant compared to the first time she saw me. LOL. In fact, pimples don’t pop out anymore unless it’s almost the time of the month and it doesn’t pop out more than 1 pimple (maybe it’s also because I’ve grown out of the hormonal rage stage?)

But of course, with a price like that, I’m tempted to try other products from leading brands to see if they too give the same effect. If not? I will be a complete Dermalogica convert. I still have a long way to go despite using it day and night since a few months ago as the moisturiser comes in a 100ml tube and you don’t need a lot to moisturise your whole face and neck. If you do indeed decide to try this product up but don’t want to get pushed around by the therapist (which they hardly do), you can pretend that you know what you want or that you’re buying for someone else. From my experience, they don’t normally push you to buy anything other than what you want but they would recommend suitable products only IF you ask them a question and sometimes their latest products. Even if you walk in as a newbie, they would help analyse your skin and recommend whatever suitable for you and it is up to you to purchase it or not. Of course, they would promote to you their latest packages to complement your skincare and all if you do purchase a product from them but so far from my experience, once you say you’re not interested, they won’t repeat it again. My best excuse and it always work (if you look the part) is, “I’m a student ler...my parents paying for me so I don’t think I can spend so much”

Price : It should be between RM177 – RM180+ (100ml) as I bought it at a member rate and I forgot how much it was exactly
