Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque Review

Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque

Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Mask Review Pretty Please Charlie

Fast-acting, easy-to-remove masque rescues tired, lackluster or dull skin. Activated Binchotan Charcoal powerfully adsorbs impurities while Sulfur promotes cell turnover for dramatically brighter skin. Volcanic Ash, Sea Silt, Bamboo Extract and alpha hydroxy acids further accelerate skin brightening with dual-action exfoliation. Niacinamide helps reduce congestion and calm the skin while Chilean Wild Mint helps refine pores. Formulated without artificial fragrances, colors or parabens.

Sounds good, doesn’t it?! And it is. I think my pic is evident that I really enjoy using this mask.

What I love most about it is that it’s an all-in-one. It detoxifies, brightens, invigorates, exfoliates plus it fights ageing, breakouts and sensitivity. I swear Dermalogica had my skin in mind when they made this beaut.

The Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque is suitable for all skin types, but if you have dry skin, they recommend to keep it on for about 7 minutes. Honestly, I didn’t know about the 7 – 10 minutes recommendation and I just leave it on till it’s completely dry.

My skin feels soft and smooth and looks clear and bright after every use. I used it on Saturday just before I applied my makeup for a wedding, and my skin looked amazing.

The Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque is not cheap, but I think it’s worth every cent of the recommended retail price of R790.

Well done Dermalogica!

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 Review

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 is an anti-ageing serum that packs a punch. If you are serious about skin care and looking for an anti-ageing product that really works, this is the one to invest in.

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 Review

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 supports natural cell regeneration and reduces the appearance of signs of skin ageing. This powerful serum is recommended for the treatment of the loss of skin tone, wrinkles, fine lines and dull complexion.

So, what exactly is in this orange liquid that makes it so effective?

1% Retinol Complex
Improves the appearance of dry, aging or damaged skin.

1% Pure Vitamins C & E
With renowned antioxidant properties, this combination of vitamins combats the signs of photoaging and limits their appearance.

1% Ceramides, Panthenol, Allantoin and Mineral Cocktail
Hydrating and nourishing actives which reinforce the skin barrier and intensely hydrate skin.

Why Retinol?

When retinol and other retinoids come into contact with skin, enzymes in the body convert the retinol into retinoic acid, the active form of the vitamin. This is the unique ingredient that goes to work on skin cells in a variety of helpful ways. Namely, retinoic acid works to increase cell turnover, stimulate collagen and elastin production, fade hyperpigmentation, and help skin stay hydrated and glowing without irritation. Thanks to all this healthy turnover, retinol can treat and prevent everything from stubborn cystic acne and eczema to sun-induced wrinkles and dark spots. Dermaceutic’s Activ Serums have the highest percentage of retinol that is safe to use daily on the skin.

This unique combination of high performance actives makes this a very potent cocktail, and I promise you, it really works.

I must warn you that Retinol can irritate sensitive skin and you should not overdo it when you incorporate it in your skin care routine. It may be better to start off with a lower dose, and Dermaceutic’s Activ Retinol 0.5 is perfect as it is recommended for normal and sensitive skin.

Even though my skin is sensitive, I tend to be a little impatient and I can sometimes go a bit overboard. I started out with 1.0 and I applied it every day when I received it. That caused a bit of redness and a little peeling (nothing major), so I toned it down and used it every second day. My skin got used to it very quickly and I now use it once a day.

Result: smoother, brighter and more even-toned skin. Really. I noticed positive results within the first 10 days of using this serum.

I am running low and I dread the moment this gorgeous bottle runs dry. It really is worth every single cent.

Dermaceutic Activ Retinol 1.0 retails for R924.

Well done on yet another stellar product Dermaceutic.
