About Clear Start

Clear Start is Dermalogica’ s breakout-focused sub-brand, designed to appeal to Gen Z and help treat their breakout-prone skin. Created by Dermalogica’ s founder Jane Wurwand when she saw firsthand the struggle her own children went through with their teen acne and the knock-on impact it had on their self-esteem. She created Clear Start to offer a range of products that help intercept acne before the symptoms escalate, while teaching young adults healthy skincare habits.

To increase focus and accelerate growth, a separate team has been created which operates autonomously from the Dermalogica organization. This has created incredibly exciting results so far, given the agility within the team to quickly create insights, test ideas, and push forward at pace.
