Led by Master Educator Karon Kelly Fernando
Workshop overview
Deepen your understanding of skin renewal science and discover how that knowledge can strengthen your client recommendations.
Building on Exosomes, Growth Factors, Stem Cells and Peptides, this two-hour livestream explores the biological processes behind skin aging and renewal. Take a deeper look at epigenetics and cellular communication, using selected examples from retinoids, vitamin C, pro-vitamin D and NAD⁺-supporting ingredients.
Explore how these concepts relate to skincare, where evidence is still emerging and how ingredient research differs from the claims supported for a finished formula. Connect your learning to Dermalogica products and develop clearer explanations of the science behind your recommendations.
A guided client case will help you put the learning into practice. Review an existing skincare routine, identify what you would clarify or change, and explain the scientific reasoning behind your decision.
Leave with deeper scientific understanding and a practical framework for making and explaining more informed skincare recommendations.
