Dermalogica Clear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask

When I read reviews of this mask just after it launched, I knew I had to give it a try. My pores are like little oil wells and that means that I suffer from congestion and blackheads. And I mean I suffer. Especially in summer. I picked up the mask at the new Dermalogica Concept Store in Tygervalley when they had their 20% off Black Friday sale. I would love to say ‘skin first’, but let’s be honest; it’s budget first. In saying that, I was quite surprised how affordable this mask is compared to other Dermalogica products. I don’t think that R329 for a 50ml Dermalogica product is bad at all! Anyway, on to the mask.

The Dermalogica Clear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask contains:

Sulfur which provides anti-microbial benefits to help keep skin clear.
Kaolin Clay which absorbs excess oil and purifies the skin .
Apple Fruit Extract to help hydrate the skin.

What about the fizz? That’s what I was most curious about. When you apply the mask, it starts to ‘fizz’ or oxygenate to aid in clearing pores and to facilitate blackhead extractions. And it works.

Blackheads be gone!

Okay, maybe not gone, but at least this mask keeps my skin clear and clean.

Ideally this mask should be used 2 – 3 times a week and only applied to the areas you need to target as it can be a tad drying.

How does it feel on your face, you ask? This is the most irritating product I have ever had on my skin. Even more than sheet masks! Oh my word, it takes all my strength not to scratch my face as those little popping bubbles tickle. It’s excruciating. Haha! Thank goodness you only need to keep it on for 3 – 5 minutes.

In summation …

Got blackheads? Try Dermalogica Clear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask. It’s awesome.

I get giddy with excitement when Dermalogica introduces a new product. I have never been disappointed by a Dermalogica. Never. My favourites include Pre-Cleanse, Skin Smoothing Cream and new Sound Sleep Cocoon. But I digress… desperate for brighter, tighter skin? Then the Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum is the product you need.

Brighter skin thanks to Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum

A high-performance Vitamin C serum that works with skin’s own defenses to brighten and firm. Advanced bio-technology fuses ultra-stable Vitamin C and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, helping to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Formulated with advanced technology to deliver more Vitamin C into skin. This superior formula outperforms other Vitamin C products (including those formulated at higher concentrations). Other key ingredients include Vitamin C Complex for brighter, firmer, more radiant skin, Lactic Acid to accelerate cell turnover, Sophora Japonica Flower Extract to help return skin to a calm state after experiencing oxidative stress, and Salvia Hispanica (Chia Seed) Oil to hydrate and help quench free radicals.

Dermalogica claims that this serum has the following benefits:

It exfoliates and reduces unbalanced pigmentation.
It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It prevents and corrects free radical damage.

I have been using the Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum morning and evening for the past 6 weeks. This product is an absolute treat to apply. The fresh, citrus scent is fantastic and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.

I am blown away by the results! This serum is by far the most effective Dermalogica product I have ever used. My skin is bright and radiant and the pigmentation spots on my forehead are fading. I can’t be more thrilled.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Serum is a Vitamin C powerhouse!

I realise that this serum doesn’t come cheap at R1 495, but you most definitely get what you pay for. I am in awe of this product. And my luminous skin!
