Collection: Active Clearing

Dermalogica’s Active Clearing range is a dual-action skincare system that works to both clear breakouts and prevent signs of premature skin ageing in adults.

We’ve created the Active Clearing range using active ingredients proven to clear breakouts and support anti-ageing, while being bolstered with the soothing effects of botanicals. Formulated by skincare therapists and trusted by professionals worldwide, our products have been proven to produce results for your skin.

The anti-ageing ingredients in the Active Clearing range include salicylic acid, niacinamide, and slow-release retinol to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone through increasing skin cell and collagen production. Salicylic acid’s breakout-fighting powers are key to clear skin, exfoliating clogged pores to shrink imperfections and leave your skin feeling refreshed.

Lush and soothing botanical ingredients are included in the Active Clearing range thanks to their far-ranging benefits, including tea tree oil, eucalyptus, bisabolol, rosehip and argan oils to nourish and restore.

Unsure of where to start? The clear and brighten kit is a great way into the Active Clearing system, giving you a starter kit that includes the clearing skin wash to be used first, followed by the daily microfoliant and AGE Bright clearing serum.

what are considered active skincare ingredients?

There are several natural skincare ingredients that are often described as active ingredients. These include AHAs, BHAs, ceramides, niacinamides, hyaluronic acid, retinol, and even vitamin-based products that use Vitamin C, A or E. These active ingredients are what allow your skincare product to provide you with your targeted relief or treatment.

by contrast, what are considered inactive skincare ingredients?

Inactive ingredients are those that are there to support the active ingredients. They’ll often aid in their delivery and provide other benefits such as allowing for more effective use of the active ingredients.

how do I know if I need active skincare?

Active skincare ingredients can be used to treat a whole host of skincare concerns. Depending on what you’re after, a skincare professional may be able to help you to formulate a skincare routine that is personalised and targeted towards your own personal skincare needs.

Typically, active ingredients can aid you in clearing breakouts, reducing the signs of skin ageing, brightening and smoothing skin, and encouraging more balanced levels of moisture and oil.

can I use actives every day?

While active ingredients are often the most influential in treating skin concerns, there is such a thing as too much. Your skin barrier may be impacted by overuse of active ingredients, which could do more harm than good. If your skincare routine incorporates too many active ingredients, you might want to consider using them on alternating days or spacing them out.

People who are overusing actives in their skincare routine might find themselves noticing increased redness, inflammation or pigmentation. We’d recommend you see a skincare professional to discuss potential changes to your routine if you think you’re overusing active skincare.
