"In business, we talk about ROC – Return on Community – as being the most essential element of success. This sense of community – we call it our 'Tribe' – is what has defined the Dermalogica culture for more than 25 years," says Dermalogica co-Founder, Jane Wurwand. "When our Tribe comes together as we did this week at our 'Futurescape' Symposium in Los Angeles, when more than 800 skin therapists, skin center and salon owners who carry and use Dermalogica gathered from around the world. When we come together in one place, it's like plugging into the world's largest battery. The energy this community produces is what makes Dermalogica so utterly original, unique, and powerful. It is our greatest asset!"

Drive." – shaped the scintillating keynote address from Wurwand, who positioned the leadership of the professional skin therapist as central to the brand's success.
