Jane's story
The Dermalogica story is really the story of our founder, Jane Wurwand. It begins with the five most important words she ever heard from her mother: "Learn how to do something."
So she learned how to disrupt the skin care industry – by educating hundreds of thousands of professional skin therapists. Within a few years, she began building the number one brand in professional skin care.
Built on Jane's belief in the power of professional skills-based education and high-quality skin care, Dermalogica went on to create such demand that The Sunday Times in London ran a four-page feature titled "The woman who started a cult".
