clinical trails & proven results
the science behind dermalogica
Clinically proven, science-backed formulas are of dermalogica’s founding philosophy. Since 1986, product claims have been held to a standard of independent, objective verification and that commitment to science gives dermalogica credibility with skin therapists, and gives skin therapists credibility with their clients.

the importance of clinical results at dermalogica
When a product carries a clinical claim, it means an independent study has demonstrated the effectiveness of that formula. Results are measured objectively, under controlled conditions, not through self-reported feedback.
Every clinical study we commission meets defined standards. These include a minimum of 30 participants, dermatological supervision throughout, and results verified through imaging techniques or instrumental skin analysis.
This matters because it holds us accountable. Clinical claims reflect measurable outcomes, not marketing language. For skin therapists, that distinction means the difference between recommending with confidence and recommending with evidence. Clinical evidence transforms product knowledge into professional authority and gives you the language to explain results and the data to support your recommendations. That is the foundation of lasting client trust.
