Discover Active Clearing
Adult breakout care without sacrificing skin health
Breakouts don't stop just because we're no longer teenagers. Adult skin can experience congestion, spots and breakouts while simultaneously dealing with dryness, sensitivity, uneven tone and visible signs of ageing.
That's where Active Clearing is different.
Rather than using harsh, drying acne products designed primarily for teenage skin, Dermalogica's Active Clearing range is specifically designed for adult breakout-prone skin, helping control breakouts while also supporting the skin barrier and addressing visible signs of ageing.
Why choose Active Clearing?
✨ Targets breakouts
Helps clear blocked pores and reduce the appearance of spots.
✨ Helps control excess oil
Supports a clearer-looking complexion without unnecessarily stripping the skin.
✨ Supports the skin barrier
Hydration and barrier-supporting ingredients help prevent the cycle of over-drying and increased oil production.
✨ Addresses ageing too
Active ingredients can target both breakouts and premature signs of ageing.
✨ Helps improve uneven tone
Useful for skin left with post-breakout marks and uneven pigmentation.

BREAKOUT BIOTIC MOISTURISER
Hydrate while you clear
One of the biggest mistakes with breakout-prone skin is thinking that it doesn't need moisture.
Breakout Biotic Moisturiser is a lightweight daily gel that hydrates while helping target and prevent breakouts, supporting the skin's microbiome at the same time.
What does it target?
✨ Breakouts
✨ Excess sebum
✨ Congestion
✨ Visible pores
✨ Post-blemish marks
✨ Dehydration

Salicylic Acid helps exfoliate away dead skin cells and keep pores clear.
Prebiotic blend helps support a balanced skin microbiome.
Bioengineered Plankton Extract + Glycerin hydrate and support the skin barrier.
Niacinamide helps support healthy-looking skin.
Why it's different
It's not about drying spots out.
It's about clearing while maintaining hydration and supporting the skin's natural ecosystem.
Clearer skin. Balanced skin. Healthy skin.
DEEP BREAKOUT LIQUID PATCH
The invisible spot treatment
This is one of those products that makes clients say “How does that work?”
Deep Breakout Liquid Patch is a liquid-to-patch treatment designed for deep, hidden blemishes. You apply it directly to the developing breakout and it dries to form an almost invisible, breathable patch.
What's inside?
5% Colloidal Sulfur helps combat breakouts.
4% Niacinamide helps soothe skin and improve the appearance of post-breakout marks.
TT Technology + Polylysine work with the skin's microbiome and help minimise oil.
Pomegranate Extract helps smooth the appearance of skin.
The really clever part is that the formula transforms from a liquid into an invisible film that protects the blemish from environmental irritants while allowing airflow.
Dermalogica recommends applying it as soon as you feel a blemish forming — even before you can see it. It can also be worn over makeup.
The result?
An invisible treatment that works discreetly on deep, developing breakouts.
