Ultracalming: Redness Relief
Price: $64.00 AUD for 40ml (RRP)
Origin: USA // Dermalogica
Claims: "Natural earth minerals provide a sheer green tint to actively counter telltale redness..."
Directions: "Apply prior to sun exposure. Smooth over cleansed skin daily to neutralize redness..."
Extra information from the website:
"After cleansing and toning, apply gently to face, allowing a small amount of green tint to remain slightly visible on skin."
Ingredients: The box was chucked out so I found information on the site.
Consistency:
Thoughts: The product has a bit of a clay-like smell as well as a very subtle mint - the smell of the product is not that strong. The tube is really easy to control and squeeze how much you want out of it - this is good because you only need a very small amount of product. If you don't rub the product in too hard, and wait about a minute, your face experiences reduced redness. I can use it as a primer or as moisturiser alone. I tend to use this after I've popped pimples and washed my face because the product reduces the redness and inflammation. I did hear that the product dries out your face but I don't feel that way - Because it can make your face a bit green, I think if you use the right amount and spread it where you need it, the product works.
On the website, I saw a skin therapist recommend that if you didn't like the green tint, you could mix it in with another product to dilute it.
To summarise:
Pros: ✽ The smell is very, very subtle
✽ The pointed tube is easy to control the amount of product you want
✽ You can use it as a primer, moisturiser and after popping pimples
✽ Reduces redness + inflammation of skin
✽ Very little product is needed
✽ Ideal for: people with sensitive/red skin or rosacea (chronic skin inflammation)
Cons: ✽ The retail price is high
✽ The green tint may be a bit strong, especially if you need to use a lot
Personal rating: 3/5 (I don't have irritated skin and don't see much need for it)
* a similar product is L'oreal's Magic Skin Beautifier, it is a BB cream but it works really well for anti-redness too.
