Dermalogica launched in 1986 with a clear mission: to create professional-grade skincare that prioritizes skin health over beauty trends. Founded by Jane Wurwand, a trained skin therapist, the brand was born out of The International Dermal Institute, an advanced education center she established to elevate skincare training. What followed was a line of formulas designed for professionals—fragrance-free, backed by research, and focused on results.
From its earliest days, Dermalogica set itself apart. Its minimalist packaging and straightforward approach positioned it as a leader in clinical skincare, a stark contrast to the fragrance-heavy, luxury-driven creams that dominated the industry at the time. Products like Daily Microfoliant, Special Cleansing Gel, and Skin Smoothing Cream became staples, trusted by estheticians and everyday consumers alike for their efficacy and skin-compatible formulations.
Now available in over 100 countries, Dermalogica remains deeply connected to its roots. The brand continues to train thousands of professional skin therapists, reinforcing the idea that skincare isn’t about quick fixes but long-term skin health. With innovation at its core and education as its foundation, Dermalogica stands as a leader in the skincare industry—proving that good skin starts with knowledge and the right formulas.
