“Where Was This Range When I Was A Teen?!” Acne Control Range Review
When it comes to skincare, finding a range that simply works without breaking the bank can feel like striking gold.
Enter Dermal Therapy's Acne Control Range, a game-changer I've been rigorously testing morning and night for over five weeks now.
Let me tell you, this range is nothing short of awesome, especially considering that everything falls under the $25 AUD mark (and even under $20 AUD if snagged from Chemist Warehouse)!
Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of why this range deserves a spotlight in your skincare routine. The ingredient lineup is the star here—impressive, to say the least.
Acne Spot Cream
With ingredients like Colloidal Sulphur, Silver Citrate, a trio of AHAs, Niacinamide, Alpha-Arbutin, and the trending Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD), it's a powerhouse designed to tackle acne while being gentle on the skin. Not to mention this is a spot treatment, but it’s a huge 30ml.
The light cream textures makes it a breeze to apply, whether you're using it as a spot treatment or a full-face serum (which I do when I’m extra spotty). The antibacterial approach, combined with exfoliating AHAs, ensures effective treatment without any harshness.
Antibacterial treatments in your routine are an essential step to acing your acne routine, and might be the missing puzzle piece you’re looking for. It stops blemishes forming in their tracks, and is an amazing preventative, too!
Acne Control Lotion
Priced under $25 for 85ml and readily available at the Chemist, this gem is a perfect fit for acne-prone skin. Its water cream consistency feels light and doesn't give off that "starchy" sensation common with many other oil-controlling products.
Plus, it packs a surprising punch, offering hydration and a dreamy finish, courtesy of Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Aloe.
Niacinamide, Zinc PCA, and Bakuchiol make this lotion a skincare champion. Fostering skin health while encouraging cell turnover—a godsend for congested skin.
And the best part? It's gentle enough for both AM and PM use, without the typical sensitivity associated with such potent ingredients.
Acne Control Wash
The range doesn't stop there. The face wash, specifically tailored for acne-prone skin, is a relief for daily use.
Unlike many harsh cleansers targeting congestion, this creamy formula leaves the skin feeling refreshed without compromising its barrier. Infused with Allantoin, Sodium PCA, Panthenol, and a hint of PAD, it's a gentle yet effective solution.
Microbiome support takes centre stage in this range, evident in the thoughtful formulation that keeps skin balanced. It might not be a "true" active cleanser, but it's the perfect choice for consistent use without any drawbacks. I’d go so far as to say pick it up regardless of your skin type- it’s a true crowd pleaser!
