Product Review: Dermalogica Age Smart Multivitamin Thermafoliant, Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, and Antioxidant HydraMist from RY

Like most others I have taken to purchasing my beauty products online. This is not only easier that you can do it from the comfort of your own home, in your PJ’s if you like, but you can also browse around when it suits you – in the middle of the night if you can’t sleep, or when your little bub has finally gone down for an afternoon nap!! Here are my thought on the *Dermalogica Age Smart Multivitamin Thermafoliant, Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, and an Antioxidant HydraMist, which I was asked to trial by the online store RY;

What They Say:

"Multivitamin Thermofoliant combines a unique self-heating technology with powerful chemical and mechanical exfoliants to smooth and refine while facilitating penetration of multivitamin actives into skin.  After just one use, skin is noticeably smoother with improves texture.  It should be used two to three times per week in an alternating sequence with skin resurfacing cleanser to avoid over exfoliation; this will ensure firmer, smoother and healthier looking skin."

"Skin Resurfacing Cleanser: A dual-action exfoliating cleanser containing Lactic Acid that smoothes, retextures and delivers ultra-clean skin."

"Antioxidant HydraMist: A refreshing antioxidant shield with flash-firming properties to improve skin texture, fight environmental assault and intensely hydrate alipoid, dehydrated skin."

What I Say:

The Dermalogica Multivitamin Thermafoliant is a gel that contains tiny little beads, so small you can hardly feel them, and once applied to the skin, the gel warms up on the skin when water is applied. The warmth helps open the pores in the skin for a better clean, and I love how it makes the skin feel warm, yet it is still a comfortable heat, and not so warm that it becomes uncomfortable. After massaging the Thermafoliant into the skin for a few minutes, dull skin is removed and my skin is left feeling silky smooth, soft and refined, yet without over-scrubbing or irritating the skin. My skin simply looks radiant and glowing.

The Multivitamin Thermafoliant contains both physical and chemical exfoliants to refine the skin texture and enhance the penetration of age-fighting vitamins into the skin. It also contains lactic acid, which helps stimulate cell turnover and prickly pear extract to accelerate the skin’s natural exfoliation process. It also contains white tea to suppress the formation of collagen degrading and vitamins A, C and E to brighten the skin tone, provide defence against damaging free radicals and help promote skin firmness.

The scrub has a lovely gentle fruity scent, and I love that it does not contain any artificial colours or fragrances.

The scrub is quite concentrated so only a little is needed, and as it is so efficient, I only need to use it twice a week, so the 75ml tube will last me forever. And after having used it for several weeks, I feel that especially my t-zone where I have particularly large pores, is more refined and feels less greasy, and consequently my makeup not only looks nicer, but also stays put for longer. However, I am yet to see any skin firming effects.

The Multivitamin Thermafoliant came in a gift box with two free deluxe samples including a Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, and an Antioxidant HydraMist.

The Skin Resurfacing Cleanser is a two in one exfoliating cleanser. It comes in an easy to use little pump bottle, and just a few small pumps is sufficient to cleanse the face. As it is an exfoliating cleanser, I use my standard cleanser to first remove my makeup, and then follow with the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser. And after massaging it into my damp skin for 30 seconds as recommended, even though you cannot feel any exfoliating particles, my skin is left so unbelievably soft and smooth.

I follow with the Antioxidant HydraMist, which also comes in a small pump bottle, and is a thick spray. It doesn’t spray on very evenly, so I feel I need to pad it into my skin, but just 2-3 pumps is sufficient, and leaves my skin feeling relaxed and moisturised.

Both the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, and an Antioxidant HydraMist have a slightly strange scent which I can’t quite explain, and unfortunately the scent of the HydraMist does linger around for a while, but considering there are no artificial fragrances in these products.

The products are not cheap, but they are very concentrated, and will last you a while – and while the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, and an Antioxidant HydraMist purchased on their own cost $14.45 each, they were included as bonuses in the pack I received, and hence making it a great purchase.

What I Like:

• The products are so gentle
• That the products refine my skin and make it glow
• The products contain no artificial fragrances of colour

What I Don’t Like:

• The slightly strange scent
• I am yet to see firming effects as promised

Overall, these are lovely products, and I love how they make my skin feel and look. I will enjoy using the remainder of these products, and I will definitely look into other products from Dermalogica.
