Dermalogica is the line we recommend when someone wants a routine that is easy to keep. The formulas are well tolerated, widely available, and consistent from year to year, which matters more than it sounds when you are trying to work out what your skin actually responds to.

The two daily powders, Microfoliant and Milkfoliant, are the reason most people find the brand: Microfoliant for congested skin, Milkfoliant for reactive. UltraCalming Cleanser and Mist are where we start sensitive-skin routines, and Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 is the moisturizer-and-sunscreen in one for anyone who otherwise skips the last step. If you are new to the line, take a cleanser and one of the powders and leave it there for a month.
