Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Booster 30 ml: Acne Treatment Serum

The Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Booster is a concentrated, fast‑acting serum designed to target acne and blemishes while restoring balance to the skin’s natural barrier. Formulated with a blend of salicylic acid, niacinamide, and botanical extracts, it delivers a multi‑step approach that unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, and promotes clearer complexion.

Key Ingredients & Their Functions

• Salicylic Acid (2 %): A beta‑hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into the pore to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells. It’s the cornerstone of acne therapy, helping to prevent new breakouts.
• Niacinamide (5 %): Also known as vitamin B3, it calms redness, diminishes post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and strengthens the skin’s protective barrier.
• Green Tea Extract: Rich in polyphenols, it offers antioxidant protection against environmental stressors that can aggravate acne.
• Chamomile & Calendula Extracts: These soothing botanicals reduce irritation and support skin healing after treatment.
• Glycerin: A humectant that attracts moisture, keeping the skin hydrated without clogging pores.

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser (e.g., Dermalogica Special Cleanser for Acne).
2. Apply 2–3 drops of the Booster onto fingertips and gently massage into clean skin, focusing on areas prone to breakouts.
3. Allow the serum to absorb fully before applying moisturizer or sunscreen during the day.
4. Use nightly for best results; consistency is key to seeing a reduction in blemishes over 4–6 weeks.

Benefits & Results

• Rapid Clarification: Noticeable improvement in acne severity within the first week of consistent use.
• Reduced Redness: Niacinamide’s anti‑inflammatory properties calm irritated skin, leaving a more even tone.
• Barrier Support: Glycerin and botanical extracts reinforce the skin’s natural defense against external aggressors.
• Non‑Comedogenic Formula: Designed for oily and combination skins without clogging pores.

Suitable Skin Types

The Booster is formulated for oily, combination, and acne‑prone skin types. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for daytime use under makeup or sunscreen. Sensitive skin may benefit from a patch test due to the presence of salicylic acid.
