Skincare Review | Dermalogica Winter Care Kit

Late November, I was very kindly sent a winter care package from Dermalogica to help me take care of my skin in the harsh winter months! I’ve been testing these for a while now so here are my thoughts! 

dermalogica winter skin care review

This is a really luxurious balm to oil cleanser that smells like the Precleanse oil. I wrongly said that the oil stung my eyes in my last Dermalogica blog post but I definitely got that mixed up with this! That is a dealbreaker for me so while this does a good job removing my makeup, the fact is stings my eyes means I wouldn’t repurchase it! 

A cream cleanser that certainly feels moisturising like the name would suggest. This leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean and not dried out but cream cleansers are not my favourite texture and I much prefer the special cleansing gel over this!

Thicker than other essences I’ve used, this reminds me a lot of a toner. It feels cooling, refreshing and calms my skin. I love that it’s got aloe leaf juice! I get some redness around my nose and chin and this works well to soothe it while keeping my skin hydrated. I like using this after my toner and before other serums and moisturiser and it’s been a great addition to my skincare routine!

This is an oil but has a thinner consistency than the other oils in my collection. As it’s a booster, I like to use this as instructed before moisturiser and heavier oils to really let it sink in and nourish my skin. It contains squalene oil to lock in moisture and oat oil to soothe and combat sensitivity. My skin really loves getting the extra treat in the evening! I will come in from work and take my makeup off then put this on to really give it time to sink in and just before bed I will follow with moisturiser and sometimes another oil to really lock in the benefits! Also, special mention to the packaging which I love – there is a little soft spot on the bottom you press to release the oil!

This is a very rich moisturiser specifically for dry skin formulated to lock in hydration and minimise fine lines. Though it feels quite thick, it sinks in quickly leaving my skin feeling moisturised all day and it also acts as a great base under makeup. This is one of my favourites from the products I was sent! 

This is a lovely exfoliant treatment that I used once a week for three weeks. I found it quite gentle but it is professional grade so got good results from it! The tingling was minimal and after 7 minutes on the skin I rinsed off with cold water to reveal brighter, more glowy smooth skin! 

dermalogica nightly lip treatemnt review

This is the product I have been most surprised about. When I first saw the creamy consistency I did not think this would be hydrating overnight for me but I was wrong! The metal applicator feels cooling but I do find I end up using my finger to spread evenly and get any product that hasn’t come off. It feels lightweight but still hydrating and to be honest when I wake up in the morning I look like I have had some very good, very subtle lip work done. My lips are plumper and the skin around them is smoother with fine lines reduced. I am loving this and I think it would be especially perfect if you have an event like a wedding coming up! 

Overall, I have been super impressed with what Dermalogica have to offer. The Intensive Moisture Balance, Nightly Lip Treatment, Barrier Defence Booster and Redness Relief Essence are the standouts for me! Read my last Dermalogica blog post here!

  3. Wonderful Dermalogica haul here, Danielle! I haven't tried much from the brand, but their Pre-Cleanse did make my vision quite blurry, which is why I never repurchased it. You should try Caudalie Makeup Removing Oil! It is the best xx
