NEW* Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex
Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex reverses multiple signs of aging with this breakthrough treatment specifically formulated for the delicate eye area. Targets concerns of the eye area, primarily wrinkles and crow’s feet plus puffiness, dark circles due to hyperpigmentation and skin sensitivity due to dehydration.
Dermalogica Skin Type
Mature or prematurely-aging skin around the eye area
Product Benefits
Targets concerns of the eye area, primarily wrinkles and crow’s feet plus puffiness, dark circles due to hyperpigmentation and skin sensitivity due to dehydration.
Ingredients
- ARG-LYS Polypeptide, Soy and White Tea: AGE Smart® active ingredient complex that prevents AGEs, inhibits MMP activity and quenches ROS (free radicals).
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: stabilised Vitamin C derivative and antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and neutralises ROS generated as a result of UV exposure; stimulates collagen biosynthesis.
- UGL Complex (Glucosamine HCl, Urea, Yeast Extract and Algae Extract): exfoliates and smoothes skin surface, firms tissue reducing appearance of photoaged skin. Helps establish a better barrier to maintain hydrated tissues (stimulates involucrin that binds ceramides).
- Fraxinus Excelsior Bark Extract: fights bags and under eye dark circles while strengthening blood capillaries and increasing blood mircrocirculation. Reinforces structural support tissue to maintain skin firmness. Contains Esculin and Fraxin, two components that decrease permeability of capillaries and provide antioxidant benefits, to prevent breakdown of hemoglobin (dark colour under eye area).
- Caffeine: helps address redness and puffiness by constricting capillaries.
- Niacinamide: stimulates collagen synthesis while reinforcing barrier function of epidermis. Helps strengthen blood vessels to avoid leakage of fluid.
Dermalogica Recommended Application
- Smooth and pat Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex around the eye area, working from the outer corner inwards.
- Start using alternate nights, for the first two weeks. As skin responds and increases tolerance, build up to using nightly.
Contraindications
- This product should not be used by ladies who are pregnant.
- It should not be used by those who have or suspect they have a nut allergy.
- It may cause irritation and should always be patched tested before application. We would recommend ordering a sample along with the product to try first.

Quenching Summer’s Thirst
What do we all have in common in the summer? Yes it’s the return of the thirsty, moisture-starved skin, compliments of crash diets, air conditioning, travel and too many mojitos!If you’ve always heard summer skin isn’t as dry as it is in the winter, you’re correct.So why does skin feel so tight? The answer: your skin may actually be dehydrated.
First things first: dry skin, or allipoid skin, generally refers to skin that is lacking in oil.
Dehydrated skin is characterized by lack of moisture (water).
Even oily skin can experience dehydration, as dehydration is a lack of water in skin – not oil.This means sebaceous activity can still be normal or even overactive in dehydrated skin. Now you know the difference – so it’s time to cure thirsty skin:
While your first instinct screams for the heavier cream, you could be left with breakouts during warmer months when perspiration levels are higher.Instead, layer a feather-light, fast-absorbing hydrating fluid beneath your current moisturizer or sunscreen – Skin Hydrating Booster is our top pick.
Spritz all day, every day with Multi-Active Toner –in the morning before moisturizing, as an afternoon refresher at your desk, in the car on your way to the gym… it’s hydrating, absorbs quickly, and won’t leave behind a greasy residue.
Three times a week, calm, soothe and help reduce dehydration with Skin Hydrating Masque.On hot days, intensify cooling benefits by chilling in the fridge for 5 minutes before you apply.
While you always wear your sunscreen, it is possible to get caught by the day’s rays.The damage is done, but the recovery can be quickened.Trust After Sun Repair to take down redness and inflammation while cooling skin.After Sun Repair is also a summer must-have for post-waxing sessions!
Give skin a boost by treating it right from the inside out.Drink at least eight 8-ounces of plain, filtered water every day.
If you’re a fan of coffee, tea or sodas, balance out the consumption with 3 extra glasses of water.
Don’t forget about wonderful, water-rich fruits and vegetables including watermelon, apples, grapes, broccoli and blueberries to boost hydration.

Get your skin ready for Summer – Top 6 summer skin tips
As you prepare to show more skin, get ready to face the sun’s rays with our top 6 summer skin tips!
- Exfoliate for clearer, smoother skin
What it does: Exfoliation removes dead, dulling skin debris to prevent congestion and improve hydration from toners and moisturizers.
When: Perform in the mornings prior to toner, moisturizer, SPF and make-up application. Tip: Make-up will last longer on an exfoliated skin!
Don’t forget: After you exfoliate, follow with a hydrating body cream to seal in moisture, and always shield freshly exfoliated skin with an SPF (as recommended by the FDA)
Recommended: Daily Microfoliant®, Exfoliating Body Scrub, Body Hydrating Cream, MultiVitamin BodyBlock SPF20.
- Keep skin hydrated
How: Up your regimen’s level of hydration with intensive masques, perfect for use one to two times a week. Boosters are a great fit, working best when layered underneath a moisturizer. Toners are a refreshing moisturizer prep, working to even out skin porosity. Tip: Refresh with a revitalizing toner spritz at your desk, in the car, at the gym, on the plane!
Recommended: Antioxidant HydraMist, Skin Hydrating Booster, Skin Hydrating Masque.
- Make friends with H20
Why: Higher temperatures and more time outdoors leads to internal dehydration, which can result in headaches and dizzy spells!
What you can do: Eight 8-ounce glasses of plain, filtered water every day help maintain critical moisture balance of the body and skin, and assist in detoxification. Tip: If you drink caffeinated beverages, you must triple the amount of water you drink!
Recommended: Plain and pure water!
- When in doubt, apply (and reapply!)
Why: It’s not enough to just apply sunscreen.: you must apply enough, and apply frequently. Studies indicate that most people do not apply nearly as much daylight protection as they should.
How much: A teaspoon for the face. For the body, about as much as would fill a shot glass.
How often: Re-apply every two hours. Tip: Stay out of the midday sun from mid-morning to late afternoon whenever you can.
Bonus: Today’s sophisticated formulas and technology let you select sun protection that works with your skin condition. That means you can choose oil-free, mattifying formulas, extra emollient formulas for dry skin, or chemical free formulas for sensitized, reactive skin.
Recommended: Oil Free Matte Block SPF20, Extra Rich FaceBlock SPF30, Super Sensitive FaceBlock SPF30.
- Soothe over-exposed skin
What: You forgot the sunscreen, didn’t apply enough, or got caught in a sunny spell.
What’s next: Unfortunately, the damage is done, but you don’t have to suffer in pain! Super-soothing botanicals and cooling gels can help prevent peeling and reduce redness and inflammation.
How: Apply cooling balms generously over-exposed skin, preferably at the first sight of a pink glow.
Prevent: One blistering sunburn doubles your risk of melanoma — remember to get a yearly skin exam by a doctor and perform a self-examination once a month to detect early warning signs of carcinomas and malignant melanoma. Look for a new growth or any skin change.
Recommended: After Sun Repair
- Repair and treat sun damage
What causes skin damage: UV light causes photoaging in the form of brown spots, coarse skin and wrinkles, whether you have burned your skin or not. When sunlight comes in contact with skin a cascade of damage results (including the stripping of barrier lipids) causing inflammation, production of reactive oxygen molecules that affect healthy cell growth, and stimulation of collagen destructing enzymes.
What to do: A tan may be a popular summer look, but it indicates damage. Bombard your skin with age-fighting ingredients to help undo any damage that may occur, and to further protect it from the aging affects of UV.
Recommendation: Power Rich™, MultiVitamin Power Recovery® Masque, MAP-15 Regenerator.

Advanced sunscreen technology provides critical protection from daylight exposure, yet blends smoothly into skin to create a perfected finish. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.
