What I Say:
Before I start telling you about the Dermalogica products, let me tell a little about the online store RY, which stands for Recreate Yourself. The Australian online store sells a long list – longer than I can mention here, of premium beauty brands, which includes among others Dermalogica, Clarins, OP, Moroccanoil, Clairsonic and Redken to name just a few. The store backs their sales with a 100% Money Back Guarantee that all products are 100% authentic and the stock is fresh. And to make you feel confident that you buying products at the best prices, they also a Price Match Guarantee. And they give you samples with every. Single. Order. YAY!

If you are in a hurry to get your goods, you can also request an Overnight Express Delivery which is $9.95 or for purchases over $99 is just $4.95 flat rate. Oh, and did I mention that they give free samples..
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.
