Let me just start off by saying I have problem skin that tends to breakout when I'm under stress, sick, hormonal or just generally tired (I'm a Uni student so pretty much all the time). Overall I quite enjoyed this kit and It has significantly improved my skin, although at the beginning when I started using the kit my face broke out horribly around my chin and cheek bones. I am almost one month into using it now and my face is almost completely clear and I’m nearing the end of most of the cream products. I originally thought that it having 5 products were going to take way too long when you're in a hurry but it turns out that once you get into it and figure out how much product is best for your skin it only takes about 3 minutes for the whole process. ~ Foaming Wash ~ I liked this cleanser a lot, it didn't foam up too much and was refreshing. It also is quite useful for removing makeup in the evenings. (it isn't specifically stated on the packet but still works ok at getting daily light makeup off). I used about a 10-cent coin worth of product each time. ~All Over Toner ~ I liked how refreshing this was and the lemongrass and orange smell was lovely. The downside of this product was that occasionally if my skin was extra sensitive or if I had exfoliated earlier that day the toner and breakout cream would burn my skin when first applied. This only happened three times. ~Daytime Treatment~ I mostly spread this on my problem areas and in any breakouts. There doesn’t appear to be a dramatic change/ banishment of pimples after application however this stops it from getting worse as the day progresses. The consistency is good, not too creamy and not harsh on the skin like some other treatment products. I use the amount of about a pea or two – sometimes more if I have a particularly bad break out. Spread this thinly over the problem areas and wait for it to sink in before applying any makeup or else it will smudge. ~Oil Clearing Matte Moisturizer SPF15~ The oil mattifying moisturising cream didn’t have as visible a mattifying effect as I wanted it to but it still did a pretty good job of general moisturising. I used it mostly in the morning as it was lightweight and worked as a good base my makeup and instead used a thicker moisturiser at night. This moisturiser is soothing to the skin, it absorbs easily and gives a nice fresh feeling. The SPF is a huge plus for me and as I have really pale skin that burns easily. Unlike some other spf moisturizers this didn’t have a greasy feeling. ~Overnight Treatment ~ I liked this product more as it was quite effective. When I wake up in the morning I see my skin REALLY relaxed and purified. This helped makes my pores less clogged and clears it up. I like this product the most of all of them. I would use this kit again if it wasn’t so expensive. This product cleared up my skin and helped a lot but don't expect it to clear up immediately- be patient and persistent and you will be rewarded :)

Tips: Use the treatment cream before putting on the mattifying moisturizer. Brush your teeth while waiting for the toner to sink in if you're in a hurry. if you are prone to having sensitive skin I would suggest being weary about how spray happy you get when putting the toner on. I found one spritz in the morning and two in the evening to be about right. I originally thought that it having 5 products were going to take way too long when you're in a hurry but it turns out that once you get into it and figure out how much product is best for your skin it only takes about 3 minutes for the whole process. Splash your face with water to get most of the cleanser off and then dry with a clean washcloth.
Usually as Im really busy in the mornings I would just use a product that had a one step process. However, although these products were helpful in washing my skin, the Dermalogia Breakout Kit was able to produce better results in less time as it combined a multitude of options to help replentish my Skin.There were however a few things that could be done to improved in this product. First was the Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash - 50 mL. I feel that although it had a nice fragrance, it didnt quite foam to its full potential making me use more in one dosage, consequently causing the product to run out faster than it would have if the amount of foam increased. Next was the Breakout All over Toner. For someone who doesn't like having things sprayed in my face I was dreading using this product. However as I continued to use it the product became one of my favourites as it was refershing and also has a nice smell. Maybe you could introduce an ulternative option with a different lid as well as the spray? The Oil Clearing Matte Moisturizer SPF15 - 15 mL was the item I have not issues. A really great Moisturizer with a nice texture and enough was provided to fully moisturize my skin. Both the Breakout clearing Daytime treatment and the Breakout clearing Nighttime treatmment were ok. I prefered the Daytime treatment as it was a thinner consistancy than the Nightime treatment. Although I had some small issues with this product, overall I enjoyed it and would use it again if it was cheaper :)
Tips: When using the foam wash make sure to use more than you use around the size of a ten cent piece otherwise it wont foam enough.
Thank you Beauty Review for saving my life - pimples be gone!
I was one of the lucky ones that were chosen to review this amazing breakout clearing kit!
My skin is not dry or oily, but I still seem to suffer from pimples and blackheads. Recently turning 20, I have been struggling to find a product that suits my skin type and that claims to do what it says!
I have been using this kit for the last couple of weeks and I feel like it has benefit my skin so much! Although after about week 1, my skin did feel really dry but I think that's just the process you go through. I still carried on following all the steps and I'm so glad I did because I started seeing results of my skin clearing up after week 2. Like all products, you have to give it time to work its magic! The pimples on my chin and forehead have cleared up so well, I also love that it reduces the redness. The combination of the products in this kit work so well, it's feels so gentle and light on your skin.
I'm happy that I've found a solution to my breakouts, it's also a confidence boost! I find it exciting washing my face as I know it works so well for my skin type and does exactly what it says.
If supermarket brands aren't working for you then I suggest you purchase this kit from your chemist - Life Pharmacies even have little samples! This kit will last you a while so it is well worth the money. It's the perfect little gift for a teenager!
Recommend 100% :-)
Tips: Make sure you follow every step!
I was really excited about this doing this review! I loved the smaller sizes of the bottles (great travel size). The cleanser was gentle and very mild pleasant smelling and only a small amount was needed. Skin felt clean and refreshed. Toner was an awesome product, loved the spray application, two pumps provided ample coverage. Again gentle on the skin and very pleasant smelling. Next was the day and night treatments. And finally the matte moisturiser which was my favourite product in the kit. Keep skin looking clean and even with no shine which my son liked. The system is a great way to start the process of getting clean and clear skin. Love the travel size, means that it is not a huge outlay too start of with. Great for teens my son found his skin was clearer and more comfortable after the first week.
Tips: I keep the cleanser in the shower and the toner in the fridge which gave a extra cooling effect (helps close the skins pores quicker) and we religiously used morning and evening for the four week. Very happy with the results.
I signed up to this trial for my partner who has always had problems with his skin. He suffers from red spots, oil, acne and blackheads. Over the last few weeks he has been using this product and found the results to vary. It did seem to reduce the redness of his skin after the first few days as the product is VERY drying on the skin so it seemed to take all the oil away. Look at his face each day I felt as though this product wasn't a miracle cure. His skin never completely cleared up and although it did get getting it was still quite obvious he had a lot of skin issues. When I asked him for his feedback he noted that the product did seem to work and do what it indicated on the package but as soon as you miss one day of using it his skin broke out again. In the long run to me it would see to be difficult for him especially (men can be a bit lacking in the upkeep of skin care) to maintain all of the steps required each day. Over all the product did seem to work but probably just not to the extend we were hoping for.
Tips: DO NOT MISS A DAY. Continuous use is recommended for best results! This product is very drying so make sure you use a light moisturizer to stop your skin completely drying out.
Having used this product for a month now, I found that it significantly helped with clearing my skin and preventing breakouts.
Since using the product, breakouts that have occurred have been much smaller and less severe, with a lot less redness.
As I have incredibly sensitive skin, I find that a lot of acne treatment products, along with the Isotretinoin medication I use cause my skin to become dry and irritated, sometimes with rash like symptoms. This product has helped with reducing breakouts while causing only minimal dryness/flaking and irritation. My skin is now relatively smooth as a result of using the product.
After using this product, I am very happy with the results and will definitely consider using it in the future.
Ok,so I waited this long before I wanted to write in about this set as I was a little skeptical at first,but seeing it was trailed on my 13year old acne prone skin son,I needed to see how it works truly. I showed him the routine he needed to do according to the instructions (which I might add are very clear & concise,excellent for a teen)..anyway,he religiously followed the course & over the weeks,we certainly noticed an improvement in his skin especially the texture. Less pimples & even clearing already scars & texture that he had prior. I along with my 13year old is extremely happy with these results (& although he has exzma programme didn't irritate or flare up his skin) I have now been asked to get him the full set so he can continue with clear skin throughout his teens..so very happy with these results
My daughter came to me today and said look Mum no acne and its all thanks to this Kit. She followed the instructions twice daily, which was a bit of a mission for her but she completed it and is so happy with the results. It cleared up her face and she wants me to get more of it. When I asked her to tell me about using the individual products she said it was easy to follow the instructions, did not need much of it, it smelt nice and she thought the packaging was cute. The toner she said made her face feel a bit oily by end of day and the day treatment moisturizer stung sometimes but the end result is I have a happy teenager with clear skin who is absolutely stoked with how this product has helped her get rid of her acne, thanks for letting us trial it, my girl is ecstatic and wanting more
Tips: Makeup sponges work well to apply and this stuff is great for teenage girls and their make up parties
The packaging was very simple and nice as it is my 15yr old son K, that trialled the regime, so it suited him, not too girly he said. K has quite breakout prone skin and had a lot of pimples at the start of the trial that were very inflamed. He felt the system was easy to use. The cleanser was felt nice to use, he applied it with his fingers and massaged it in then rinsed with warm facecloth, next the toner, he initially was putting it on a cotton pad to apply the toner, then discovered he could spray it straight on to his face. The day time treatment K found was too astringent and stung his face quite a lot. He used it for a couple of days but his skin became very red and had dry patches. So he stopped using this part of the system, he also found the smell off putting. K tried the night time treatment as well and again his skin stung and became red. Once he stopped using those two items and gave his skin a rest for a couple of days he started again using just the cleanser, toner and moisturiser. His skin settled and the amount of pimples decreased, there weren't as many dry patches as well as looking less red and angry. Overall we think it worked well, and there was a definite improvement in skin texture and breakouts. Not sure if we would continue to buy it as he has tried other products with similar results.
I was gifted this kit when I was a teenager by my Mum. This kit has a wonderful range of products to use, depending on what is required and the time of day you are applying the product. It’s a simple process with instructions on the back of the products saying how to apply the product and which product to use next. In my kit, there was a handy little booklet describing each product and what problem the product targeted. As I have sensitive skin, I’m hesitant to use skin products on my face in fair of the product causing a rash. However this product is very safe and gentle. My favourite product which I still use 6 years after first receiving the kit is the bedtime break out (product with the blue writing). Apply it before bed and in the morning the pimple is reduced in sized and redness reduced.
Tips: Good for any age and type of skin.
