what's changing

We’ve bid farewell to Dermalogica DNA and are excited to introduce our new foundational Workshops – Get Started with Dermalogica and Franchise Focus.

Dermalogica Certified now consists of these two workshops instead of three, and is available to Skin Therapist and Non-therapists alike. You can join us either in-person or via livestreaming. In these workshops, you’ll learn about the history of Dermalogica, get familiar with our Top 27 products, and then take that product knowledge to the next level. We’ll focus on the what, why, and how of our award-winning franchise products to seamlessly integrate into any home care regimen. We’ll also cover our professional range of products and services, where you’ll preview our professional service architecture.

Alongside these, we’re launching hands-on workshops like Pro Skin Fundamentals and Pro Skin Treatments, designed to enhance your skills in the treatment room, whether you’re an experienced esthetician or new to the industry.

Dermalogica Specialist is now a total of three workshops, instead of five.

Dermalogica Expert is also three workshops. Choose from any three of our treatment workshops (or do all of them!)

current students

Rest assured, your progress is safe! You don't need to start all over from the beginning. Your Dermalogica DNA credits are still valid for the Dermalogica Certified status.

Newcomers: Your journey towards Expert Status just got closer!

Long-time Learners: If you’re on the verge of completing your pathway, please note that some older courses may no longer qualify for the Expert Journey.

existing experts

Your Expert Status remains the same, and these changes will not affect you! The rules regarding maintaining your Expert Status also remain the same - four workshops per calendar year (these cannot all be the same workshop). You can join us for our new workshops to brush up your knowledge or hands-on skills, check out our innovation streams, and enjoy our expert-only workshops. It's entirely up to you!
