Q&A

I used it last night, and this morning I woke up with wrinkles under my eyes, which I didn't have before.: Hello Marinella, TThank you for choosing Dermalogica, Unfortunately, we will need a bit more information to better understand your experience. Our products do not suddenly cause wrinkles to develop, so we'd like to learn more about what you've noticed and the products you have been using. We offer free skin consultations via chat with our professional skin experts if you would like more assistance on https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us. We also offer free video consultations. Here is a link to book a free 20 minute video consultation with one of our professional skin therapists! https://book.squareup.com/appointments/k7tld5n6eu1pdc/location/L82JXPV66VRSC/services We look forward to speaking to you. Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Hello - I currently use the Biolumin C eye serum. Can this be layered with the Biolumin C serum in the mornings? Which do you apply first?: Hello Susan, Thank you for your question. The BioLumin-C Eye Serum is a wonderful choice for brightening and supporting healthier-looking skin around the eyes, although we do not recommend layering it with the Awaken Peptide Depuffing Eye Gel. Using them together at the same time may reduce their optimal performance and absorption. We want to ensure you get the best possible results from your Dermalogica products. If you would like, we would be happy to help you build a customized routine based on your specific skin goals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any additional questions-we're always here to help. Kindly, Sandra
Does this product help with upper eye lids sags and upper lids creasing? Please let me know either way. I would appreciate it.: Hello Patti, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Awaken Peptide Eye Gel firms, hydrates, and fights aging while cooling and soothing the eye area. Advanced tetrapeptides, succinic acid and rosemary extract actively reduce puffiness and fight fine lines while leaving the skin more radiant. Use daily in the morning to de-puff and look more awake! This however does not target upper eye lids, if you would prefer a product that would target specifically the eyelids, you may enjoy checking out our phyto nature lifting eye cream! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Do I wash my face before applying the eye gel? And when will I most likely start to see results? (How long will it take of using it to see results?) I’ve been using it for a few days and have seen no results yet).: Hello Laurie, thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica! We’re delighted to assist you. Yes, we recommend starting your routine by cleansing the skin, followed by toner, serum, the Awaken Peptide Eye Gel, and finishing with a moisturizer. You may start to notice improvements within the first few weeks of consistent use. Patience and persistence are key to achieving optimal results, so we recommend sticking with it. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Kind regards, Beatriz.
Can this be used twice a day, in both AM and PM routines?: Hi, JJ! You can certainly use the Awaken Peptide Depuffing Eye Gel day and night! Kind Regards, Beatriz
