Dermalogica Essential Replacement
5 Stars
Dermalogica Essential Replacement
When Dermalogica discontinued their Essential Cleansing Solution I was really anxious. My skin is hyper sensitive- I turn red with all these “natural” products. Perfumes in facial products make my skin burn. I didn’t want to have to go through the hell of being the trial animal for a bunch of over-priced, chemical products that made me miserable for days.I bought 12 Essential Cleansing Solutions, all I could find online. It gave me time to wait for the research others did and gave my anxiety about testing new products and wasting money a reprieve.Finally, about a month and a half ago I came across a forum suggestion for this product. I read reviews and looked off Amazon for as much info as I could gather. At $20, it seemed much more reasonable than Dermalogica’s discontinued wash, so I purchased.My experience using this product: as you can see in the image, the bottle design is identical. Even the size is the same.The wash is a little more like a slightly watery lotion, whereas Dermalogica is more of a thin paste (maybe more creamy than watery). It really has no discernible scent. It feels comparable to Dermalogica’s product when in use, though because it’s watery I apply to my face before adding warm water to wash.My face has not turned red or gotten excessively dry from the product. My normally hyper sensitive skin approves. For the moment I continue to use the Calm Water Gel and the Intensive lotion by Dermalogica, but, considering the massive price break with Paula’s, I think I’d be willing to try comparable products to replace Dermalogica’s at this point. To be honest, I feel betrayed by the more expensive brand and I see a lot of similar feelings from others who had invested a lot of time and money into their products.
