We caught up with her to see how she&#8217;s been getting on since she discovered Dermatica\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hi Deja! Tell us about your skin journey before Dermatica.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My skin has always been oily and acne prone. I identified some of my triggers, like not washing my face or changing my pillow cases often enough, but even with a good routine I couldn\u2019t beat the breakouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What made you try Dermatica?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My sister was already a Dermatica user and she recommended it! I was having a really bad breakout and nothing was helping, so I thought I\u2019d give it a try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>We\u2019re so glad you did. How are you finding it so far?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel like I saw a difference overnight. My pimples started reducing very quickly, and my skin reacted to the formula straight away. Since then, my confidence has grown, and I finally feel like I have my acne under control again \u2014 I even feel comfortable not wearing foundation every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not having to visit a dermatologist face-to-face is such a bonus, too. I never realised it would be this easy to get something that actually works for my skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s great to hear that. How has your skincare routine changed since starting treatment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It hasn\u2019t changed too much. My morning routine is the same \u2014 cleanser, moisturiser and SPF. Before, I\u2019d use a toner for acne every night, but it only worked half the time. Now, I just wash my face, moisturise and use my Dermatica formula. I\u2019ve been surprised by how easy it is to get real results with a basic routine, without using the most expensive products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What advice would you give to someone who has similar skin to you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve made plenty of skincare mistakes in the past, and learned from them. Don\u2019t use lots of products on your skin during active breakouts \u2014 it just makes them worse. Also, not every product will work for your skin type, so do your research to make sure you\u2019re using the right ingredients for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Finally, what\u2019s next for you on your skin journey?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, I\u2019m very happy with my results and plan on continuing with my treatment to see more improvements. My goal is to never wear foundation again (or at least only occasionally) and be comfortable doing the rest of my makeup routine with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><strong>keeping it simple really can be the way forward when treating acne<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Our derms say\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDeja has made amazing progress on her Dermatica formula, and in such a short space of time, too! We can see a big difference in the size and frequency of pimples on her face, which\u2019ll continue to improve with patience and consistent use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also a textbook example of how keeping it simple really can be the way forward when treating acne. The retinoids in Deja\u2019s treatment are the most effective active ingredients for acne, and she mentioned that her skin reacted almost immediately to them! We expect to see a visual improvement at the 4\u20136 week mark, but the \u2018best\u2019 results usually appear between 8\u201312 weeks.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to share your skin journey with the Dermatica community?
