A couple months ago I bought the Dermalogica Clear Start Kit for Teen acne from Ulta for about $38. I have been troubled with acne for the past few years and I wanted to do something about it fast. Before I buy anything I read reviews and other blog posts about the product. Most reviews were explaining how the Clear Start Kit did wonders and deals really well with all sorts of skin. I finally decided to buy it in stores and even the Dermalogica consultants said it was really good. The kit comes with a foaming face cleanser, a day and night treatment, a matte moisturizer, an all over toner and a face mask. I tried the Kit at night right before bed and everything seemed to work out fine until I used the toner. My face started heating up right away, I just thought it was because of some chemicals that are in every toner and didn't think too much of it. Afterwards I used the overnight treatment and the moisturizer. The next morning I noticed my face was itchy and also very red. My cheeks felt really rough and that's when I knew something was wrong. I returned the product right away. I had to use a steroid cream to get rid of the reaction which lasted about a week. I'm pretty sure the toner was making my skin react this way. Dermalogica has a lot of chemicals in their products that are not good for every day use. I have very oily skin which is not usually sensitive to different products. My skin has only ever reacted this way to one other product. Make sure to always test a product on a small patch of skin before using it all over the face or body to see if your skin reacts. Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way.
