About
The logic behind the name
Dermalogical exists because most claims in skincare aren't traceable to anything. We formulate the opposite way — start with published research on an active, test it at a clinically relevant dose, and only then decide what goes into a bottle.
Dermalogical was built on one idea: skincare claims should be traceable to evidence, not trend cycles. Every formula starts with published research on an active ingredient, moves through dermatologist review, and only then reaches a bottle.
What we stand for
Evidence over trend
If an ingredient can't point to research, it doesn't go in the formula — no matter how popular it is.
Full disclosure
We list active concentrations on the pack, not just the ingredient name.
Made in small batches
Formulated and reviewed in small runs, so quality control never gets diluted by scale.
Our approach to formulation
Every product goes through the same four-stage process before it reaches a shelf.
Research
We start from peer-reviewed studies on the active, not marketing trends.
Formulate
Actives are dosed at the concentration shown to work in clinical literature.
Review
Formulas are reviewed with practising dermatologists before finalising.
Test
Stability and patch testing confirm the product performs as intended, cruelty-free.
