Dermalogica face oil, 30 ml, is a nourishing facial oil formulated for women that combines a lipid-based delivery system with plant-derived oils to support skin hydration and conditioning. The formula includes slow-release retinol to work overnight on skin recovery and to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation, while salicylic acid helps address active breakouts.
Advantages
The lipid-based delivery system supplies skin-mimicking phytoactive lipids from argan, rosehip seed and golden jojoba oils to nourish and support the skin barrier. Slow-release retinol delivers a gradual retinol effect overnight to minimise irritation while targeting signs of ageing and uneven tone. Salicylic acid helps to target and clear active blemishes, resulting in a multi-action product that hydrates, soothes and treats common skin concerns.
Suitable for
- Normal to dry or combination skin needing extra nourishment
- Skin showing early signs of ageing (fine lines, uneven texture)
- Skin prone to occasional breakouts where a lightweight oil is acceptable
- Evening or nighttime skincare routines focused on repair and renewal
When it may not be suitable
This product contains retinol and salicylic acid, which may cause irritation or increased sensitivity, especially for very sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. Those using strong prescription retinoids, undergoing certain dermatological treatments, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before use.
