Dermalogica skin care products are time-tested and effective... but expensive. Here are several ways to purchase Jane Wurwand's Dermalogica products at a discount and how to get free or inexpensive Dermalogica samples.
Discount Dermalogica Retailers
- Purchase through a Dermalogica discount website. Wholesale or salon-sized products also offer a big price-per-ounce savings, and they are available to individuals (not just Dermalogica retailers).
- Most Amazon retailers sell Dermalogica products at a discount of 10-44%. Because several Dermalogica distributors are all located on Amazon, the competition results in a lower price point. Example: The popular Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel ($48 retail for 16.9 oz) is available on Amazon for as low as $27.90.
- Ulta (ulta.com) occasionally offers “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” sales on Dermalogica products, both in-store and online. If you are already a dedicated Dermalogica fan, the sale offers opportunity to purchase all of your Dermalogica skin care for the year. In addition, they frequently offer 20-30% off coupon codes for most of their products, including Dermalogica. Visit the Ulta website and sign up for their free email list to be notified of sales. New members will receive a one-time 20% off any product coupon via email.
Generally speaking, do not purchase products through the Dermalogica website, as they sell their products at full price.
Dermalogica Coupons
- Find time-sensitive Dermalogica coupon codes, free shipping and discount offers by doing a Google search for “Dermalogica products” or “Dermalogica coupons”. The resulting ads on the side of the page inevitably include coupon codes and special offers.
- Visit Retail-Me-Not (retailmenot.com), enter “dermalogica” in the search field, and you’ll find coupons from those retailers who have Dermalogica-specific coupons available for use online.
Dermalogica Samples
Whether you want to try Dermalogica skincare for the first time, or just want to test a new item in the Dermalogica line, samples are the perfect way to determine if a product is right for your skin.
- Purchase samples through MyExclusiveSpa.com for $1 - $1.25 each. Use coupon code “mem5” to get $5 off Dermalogica samples plus free shipping within the U.S. (as of April 29, 2010). Depending upon the samples you choose, you could score up to 5 free Dermalogica samples.
- In the U.K, visit the Pure Beauty website (pure-beauty.co.uk) for 5 free Dermalogica samples. Score 10 free samples when you spend £30.00.
- Hello, Gorgeous (hello-gorgeous.net) offers 3 free Dermalogica samples (customer's choice) with purchase.
Dermalogica Skin Kits
Dermalogica Skin Kits are the perfect way to try a complete Dermalogica skin regimen without purchasing the full-size products. These skin kits last a few weeks, so the products will have the opportunity to make a difference in your skin, and you can decide if the Dermalogica products are right for you. These are also great travel sets, as each individual item within the kit contains no more than 2 ounces of product.
Here are the skin kits that Dermalogica currently offers, the products they contain, and their full retail price:
- Oily Skin: Skin Prep Scrub, Oil Control Lotion, Multi-Active Toner, Dermal Clay Cleanser, $35
- Dry Skin: Essential Cleansing, Multi-Active Toner, Intensive Moisture Balance, Gentle Cream Exfoliant, $35
- Sensitized Skin: UltraCalming Cleanser, Soothing Protection Spray, Barrier Repair, Total Eye Care, $35
- Normal/Dry: Special Cleansing Gel, Multi-Active Toner, Skin Smoothing Cream, Gentle Cream Exfoliant, $35

- Meet Dermalogica Kit: Special Cleansing, Daily Microfoliant, Skin Smoothing Cream, MultiVitamin Power Firm, $20
Don't let Dermalogica's high price point scare you away. The products offer a time-tested, effective way to transform you skin, and they last for a long time. By using coupons, shopping discount retailers, and stocking up during sales, you can indulge in Dermalogica skin care on a budget.
