meet dermalogica
Dermalogica was developed in 1986 by Jane Wurwand, who saw a need for high-quality, professional-grade skin care products that were free from common irritants and ingredients that could cause breakouts. The brand was launched with 27 products, including the now-iconic Daily Microfoliant and Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50. Dermalogica quickly gained a reputation for its commitment to skin health and professional excellence, becoming a trusted name among skin therapists and consumers alike. The success of Dermalogica can be attributed to its innovative approach to skin care and its strong connection with the professional skin therapy community.
