clinical results: the science behind dermalogica
We continuously invest in independent clinical studies to ensure our products achieve demonstrable, measurable results for skin health.
science-backed skin health
understanding clinically proven results
At Dermalogica, we invest in independent clinical studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of our formulas. Results are measured objectively, often through imaging techniques or instrumental skin analysis.
Our clinical studies meet the following standards: a minimum of 30 participants, formulations applied under dermatological supervision in realistic conditions, and all results measured objectively with imaging techniques and instrumental skin analysis.

the importance of clinical evidence
Clinical trials ensure integrity, honesty and efficacy. They allow us to prove, with scientific data, that our products achieve visible results for different skin types and conditions.
We use three methods of clinical design to gather our results: objective in-vivo assessments, subjective assessments, and in-vitro testing that demonstrates the impact at a cellular level.

clinical summary
pro restore recovery + firming concentrate
Designed to work with advanced skin services, preparing the skin's barrier, restoring its condition and helping to improve the appearance of firmness and brightness. Suitable for use with microneedling, RF microneedling, Fibroblast skin tightening, lasers and chemical peels. Pro Restore reduces downtime, improves skin recovery, and amplifies results.
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5), mushroom extract and hyaluronic acid work to soothe, hydrate and strengthen the skin. Omega-3, Bacillus ferment and beta glucan help to restore the skin, helping to address post-procedure redness and irritation. Meanwhile, treatment results are amplified by the plant derived Oligopeptide-1 Epidermal growth factor, olive stem cell phospholipids and niacinamide.
how pro restore revolutionises skin healing
Clinical experts assessed visible skin rejuvenation using a validated dermatological scale system that measures erythema post treatment, skin luminosity and skin texture. This was a randomised, controlled, split-face study of 32 females aged 30-70 years for 4 weeks following microneedling treatment. Changes in skin condition were assessed by blinded clinical photography and expert evaluation. Measurements were collected at baseline, 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days and 28 days post treatment.
These results were clinically validated by using a combination of in vitro testing, in vivo instrumental analysis, expert grading, and consumer perception, with visible benefits from first use.
