Dermalogica was created by professional cosmetologist Jane Wurwand in 1986 at the International Dermatological Institute (Los Angeles, USA). The concept was initially very clear: ingredients that often cause skin irritation and comedones (such as lanolin, denatured alcohol, mineral oils, artificial colors and fragrances) should be excluded from the products, the products should improve skin health and be prescribed by professional cosmetologists who have undergone special training. Since its inception, Dermalogica has shattered the prevailing paradigm of the beauty and glamor industry by treating skin care as a health issue rather than a cosmetic problem. All Dermalogica products are made in the United States, in Southern California, featured in top centers, spas and salons in over 106 countries, and are now prescribed more often than any other skincare product.
