About Dermalogica: professional-grade skin care since 1986

Dermalogica is a clinical skin care brand used by skin care professionals around the world. In 1983, founder Jane Wurwand identified a gap in professional skin care training and created the International Dermal Institute to set skin therapists up for success. Wurwand launched Dermalogica in 1986, following a desire to provide skin therapists with best-in-class skin care products and education. Bucking industry trends in favour of efficacious formulas, a minimalist look and commitment to skin health, not beauty. Dermalogica has grown to be the leading professional skin care brand, used by more than 100,000 skin therapists in more than 100 countries.

Today, education continues to be at the root of the company, providing skills-based training in advanced technologies and services for a global community of skin therapists who have one common goal: to ensure healthy skin for all. Our Professional Skin Therapists create highly customised regimens and services for every individual client because we know that no two skin conditions are the same.

Dermalogica products are made in the USA with its global operations based in Los Angeles. To learn about Dermalogica,

It is only available through appointed salons, and most recently, through our growing network of franchise salons. The success of the franchise model in France led Guinot to bring the exciting salon franchise opportunity to the UK and Ireland.

The Science behind the Brand
Research and development play an integral role in our philosophy, that’s why treatments and products are formulated and manufactured at optimum concentration and in compliance with pharmaceutical standards in our company owned laboratories. The Guinot laboratory is ISO 22716 certified and complies with European regulations on product safety and traceability from manufacture to retail prescription in salon. ISO 14001 certification attests to Guinot’s
environmental commitment.

The Beauty Therapist the “Beauty Doctor”
