Saturday 17 Nov 2007 -The topic of "Clearing Pimples & Acne for Good" certainly saw many customers at the penthouse level of Ngee Ann City Tower B attend either of two similar skincare workshops (11am and 3pm). The intrigue was largely due to the excitement that Singapore was the choice to be the first Asian city outside of the USA to launch the new Dermalogica MediBac Clearing products for adult acne!

Dermalogica Educator, Ms Triska Looke, from the International Dermal Institute in Sydney, Australia began by explaining why adult acne is on the rise. She further emphasized on how 40% to 55% of the adult population in the 20-40 age group are diagnosed with persistent acne and oily skin. The guests consisting of both women and men learned that chronic stress, workplace stress and home responsibilities could lead to acne.

Many were also surprised to find out that certain cosmetics and medication can make the skin worse, and were keen to know the difference between adult acne and teen acne. Triska pointed out how in adult acne, the skin may not be extremely oily, but a combination skin with dry cheeks and T-zone - yet the chin area may be prone to inflamed acne type breakouts.

Ms Looke also zoomed in on the key contributing factors that could cause acne or worsen the skin condition - the hair follicle, skin cells, sebaceous gland, androgens, and bacteria. The types of acne (eg. Mild acne, Acne cosmetica, Acne vulgaris, and Cystic Acne) plus other trigger factors (eg. friction, picking or industrial oils) were also identified.

To their delight, the guests learned how Dermalogica's new MediBac Clearing products could save their skin from further damage as well as help repair and improve the acne condition. A detailed insight to the following products was given :

• New! DERMALOGICA Clearing Skin Wash
• New! DERMALOGICA Clearing Mattifier
• New! DERMALOGICA Overnight Clearing Gel
• New! DERMALOGICA Concealing Spot Treatment
• New! DERMALOGICA Sebum Clearing Masque
