Myth: Blackheads are dirt inside my pores.
Busted: Blackheads are merely whiteheads that have undergone the process of oxidation. (So no, blackheads aren’t dirt!)
Oxidation is merely a chemical reaction happening in your skin. Think of what happens to an apple when you cut it open and it darkens: this is oxidation.
When the follicle (pore) opens up, oxygen enters, causing the oil and dead skin cells within the follicle to undergo oxidation. This leads to the dark color you see.
Whiteheads are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white.
Myth: Breakouts mean my skin isn’t clean.
Busted: The belief that a blackhead is dirt feeds another myth about breakouts – that it’s not clean, or is not being properly cleaned.
Over-cleansing skin with the hopes that you’ll clear breakouts may only trigger more breakouts, thanks to stimulating an over-production of oil. Moreover, over-cleansing causes dryness which can lead to sensitivity, as dry skin has fewer protective lipids that keep skin healthy.
To get skin clean without over-stripping, reach for Wash Off. This foaming wash features Salicylic Acid, which dives deep into pores to help thoroughly clean skin. Refreshing Orange Oil Peel revives and energizes so you know skin is clean because it feels clean!
Myth: SPF makes me break out.
- While some sunscreen ingredients can make skin feel greasier and can be comedogenic (clog pores), there are new, more sophisticated formulations available that provide sun protection with skin care benefits. (By the way, those “new, more sophisticated” SPF ingredients are found in Welcome Matte SPF15 and Brighten Up SPF15!)
What’s my best skin regimen?
The Clean Start regimen has been broken down into three simple categories to help you get your best-looking skin now and in the future. It all starts with getting skin clean. Skin must be properly cleansed for two reasons: it rids skin of dirt, oils, and pollution that make skin look dull, and it helps prep skin, making it more receptive to treatment and moisturizer benefits.
When it’s time to take on issues like oily skin and breakouts, a scrub/masque, spot treatment, and all-over overnight treatment will help you face every day with a clean slate.
The last step of your Clean Start regimen is to protect skin. Smooth, shield, and hydrate without a greasy after-feel or clogged pores.
This simple approach will help ensure your best-looking skin now…and in the future! Here’s another tip – stick with it for at least 4 weeks to start seeing results. Why? Because when something new is introduced to skin, skin must have time to adjust to the active ingredients. As skin adjusts, more breakouts may arise: this simply indicates the purging of toxins and represents the effectiveness of the ingredients.
How can I treat back acne?
Back acne or “Backne” is very common among teens and young adults – especially in boys. Athletic clothing which may trap sweat and dead skin cells (such as abrasive gear like football shoulder pads) and a general over-secretion of the oil glands in this area can cause breakouts.
- You can treat back acne the same way you treat it on your face – with Clean Start products! Don’t over-cleanse the skin with harsh soap, vigorous scrubbing movements, or rough loofahs or back brushes, as this will exacerbate the situation. Wash with Wash Off, a soap-free cleanser designed for your face and wherever you get breakouts.
- Don’t reach for a mentholated astringent, which can have a drying S.D. Alcohol base (which over-strips skin). Instead, grab All Over Clear, an all-over refreshing skin toner that helps control oil and bacteria. Convenient spray bottle helps you spritz hard-to-reach areas effectively!
- Gentle exfoliation can really help breakouts – so reach for Ready, Set, Scrub! This gentle breakout-fighting, pore-refining scrub and masque contains purifying clays to pull excess oil from skin, while Silica scrubs away dulling surface cells.
- Treat the affected area while you sleep with Bedtime for Breakouts.
What’s going on with my skin?
As you transition from child to teen to adult, puberty will trigger the movement of new chemicals in your body. Depending upon whether you’re a guy or girl, these hormones will go to work on different parts of the body, and of course, impact your skin.
Sebaceous (oil) gland activity is stimulated by androgen hormones. These hormones act like a switch and increase oil production and hair growth, and are responsible for the triggers that lead to oily skin and breakouts. These so-called “male” hormones are present in both males and females.
Your pores (follicles) may become enlarged, your skin texture changes and may not feel as smooth, your skin looks and feels shiny, your cheeks may feel more sensitive and look pink, and your once flawless skin may now have evident pimples, blackheads and whiteheads .
Your scalp and hair may also be oiler and you start to grow hair in new places! We haven’t even touched on your mood swings, ability to sleep all day and body changes, deeper voice if you are male and lovely new body odor!
This all sounds very frightening, but the good news is that these androgens that tend to be present in relatively large amounts during adolescence become stabilized as you reach adulthood. Meaning the oily skin and breakouts will lessen and clear for most people.

Dermalogica have done it again, taking the latest findings in scientific research and creating the amazing new UltraCalming range, the most advanced Sensitised Skin system available.
The most common cause of irritation, flushing and stinging is inflamation. This combined with the loss of the skin’s protective barrier means your skin’s health is comprimised and can be in a highly reactive state.
The exclusive Dermalogica UltraCalming Complex is clinically proven to control multiple inflamatory reactions leading to sensitised skin whilst restoring the skin’s protective barrier.
Immunogenic Inflammation
This is triggered by the immune system caused by foreign substances such as pollen or artificial fragrances.
Neurogenic Inflammation
Triggered by the nervous system, sensitised or inflammed skin may be the result of the environment, chemicals or physical and emotional stress.
Loss of Protective Barrier
Excess exfoliation, exposure to soap and water, even psychological stress can comprimise the skin’s protective barrier, lowering your ability to tolerate stressors resulting in sensitised skin and irritation.
Products in the UltraCalming Range
This brand new range consists of three brand new products, an old favourite gets a new formulation and the Barrier Repair product joins the range.
UltraCalming Mist
A soothing, hydrating mist that quickly relieves sensitivity while helping to calm redness, stinging and aggravated skin. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.
UltraCalming Relief Masque
A powerful, ultra-calming treatment masque enriched with Colloidal Oatmeal to soothe enraged skin and provide lasting relief from sensitized skin flare-ups, redness and rosacea.
UltraCalming Sensitized Skin Treatment Kit
The ultimate starter set to get skin cool, calmed and on the healthy skin track!
UltraCalming Serum Concentrate
The antidote for skin sensitivity: a super-concentrated serum that helps calm, restore and defend sensitized skin. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.
Barrier Repair
NEW Re-formulated Barrier Repair! This unique anhydrous (waterless) moisturiser melts gently into skin to help shield against environmental and internal triggers that cause skin stress.
UltraCalming Cleanser
NEW Reformulated UltraCalming Cleanser! Recommended for sensitised, reactive and recently resurfaced skin. This extremely gentle, PH-balanced gel/cream glides easily over face and eyes to cleanse withour stripping skin’s protective barrier.
