Q&A

How well does this product work on old acne scars? I have scars from cystic acne that are years old.
Hello Anna, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica, if the scar is textural, no topical skin care will be able to correct it unfortunately. There are many treatment options available such as laser resurfacing or microneedling that may be helpful. If you are dealing with dark spots left behind from breakouts (a form of hyperpigmentation), the Post Breakout Fix can assist! Kind Regards, Beatriz
How long do I let the product sit for before applying other products?
Hi, Dakota! Thank you for your question. You can allow the Post Breakout Fix to sit on the skin for 30 or 60 seconds before applying other products. Kind Regards, Beatriz
Can this product be used during pregnancy?
Hello Eva, Thank you so much for your question! We highly recommend consulting with your doctor in case they have specific recommendations for you. You are welcome to use the majority of Dermalogica products during pregnancy. Most in the medical community now agree that low levels of salicylic acid are perfectly safe during pregnancy, but if you prefer to avoid it, you will find salicylic acid in these retail products: SALICYLIC ACID: Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash Breakout Clearing Booster Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel Clearing Defense SPF30 Clearing Skin Wash Sebum Clearing Masque Multivitamin Thermafoliant Post Breakout Fix Skin Soothing Hydrating Lotion Daily Microfoliant AGE Bright Clearing Serum AGE Bright Spot Fader Retinol Clearing Oil *Please note this list does not include discontinued products Post Breakout Fix is on this list, as it does contain salicylic acid. I hope this helps answer your question, thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica!

Is this product meant to be used on active and newly formed acne or just to help remove old scarring?
Hi Katherine, Thank you for your question. You can use this product directly on your breakout, and continue using it on the scar after your breakout has gone. Best wishes, Lydia
