I have a new and lovely addition to my October skincare routine, the *Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil (£62, 30ml) which contains Camellia and Tamanu Oil as well as Orchid Flower, Chia Seed Oil, Rice Bran and Sunflower extracts to replenish protective lipids that can be depleted by ageing and environmental stressors. It's free from parabens, artificial fragrances and colours - it's most suitable for normal to dry skin.
Firstly, I have to say that I'm not a fan of the packaging; I think it looks quite medical as all Dermalogica products seem to look and the dispenser isn't great for dispensing an oil as it can be a little messy - I think a pipette dispenser would have been far better!
The oil itself smells amazing, so floral and earthy, I love it! It applies like a dream and leaves my skin smooth, soft and comfortable although I do only use this oil in my evening skincare routine as when used during the day and under makeup, it can be a bit heavy and too oily. The oil doesn't irritate my temperamental, sensitive skin which is fantastic - I find that all of the Dermalogica products I've tried have been great for my sensitive skin. The product came with a leaflet with various DIY facial massage techniques for wrinkles, detoxing and stress which is really useful and something I haven't thought of before! Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Have you tried anything from Dermalogica? Do you change your skincare during the colder months?
