Ingredients
Retinol (Vitamin A), Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C): pure Vitamin A (stable in this anhydrous formula) helps reverse the signs of aging by normalizing cells and stimulating new collagen formation while gently exfoliating. Vitamin E helps smooth skin while a stable form of Vitamin C stimulates skin strengthening collagen.
Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf: polyphenols protect skin from ROS while inhibiting collagen-degrading MMPs and the formation of AGEs.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed: a potent antioxidant that fights ROS, reduces inflammation, inhibits MMPs and stimulates new collagen synthesis while inhibiting the formation of AGEs.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root: an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant extract that soothes and calms skin. Helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

How To Use

After cleansing, apply to damp skin in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes, avoiding the eye area. A more intense result can be achieved by using directly on dry skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and sponges. Use two to three times per week.

Price and Packaging

Clean simple packaging, squeezy tube which makes application easy. The RRP is quite steep at £41 although it is available online from £29 which is slightly more reasonable.

Review

The product promises to reduce the signs of ageing by exfoliating the skin to create a brighter and smoother texture. The consistency is grainy without being too harsh. After use it does leave your skin softer and smoother through light exfoliation. I have not used this long enough to comment on whether it reduces the signs of anti ageing, but it does leave the skin looking visibly brighter and more radiant. I really enjoyed using this product and found it to be a great gentle exfoliater to use once a week.

Would I Buy Again/ Who's This For

I did really enjoy this product but I'm not sure I would pay full retail price for it as I generally try and keep my skincare to under £30 per item unless I find them amazing. It is an excellent gentle exfoliator that is suitable for all skin types and does have the added benefit of being anti-ageing. Dermalogica do offer samples and consultations at their counters so it may be worth paying a visit to try this product before purchasing to see if it is right for you. If you don't mind paying that much for a product or are a fan of the Dermalogica line I'd recommend trying this. However if the cost is a bit steep for your budget I'd recommend just trying something else at a lower cost as there a cheaper exfoliater on the market that are just as good.
