Dermalogica Clear Start x akt: Skincare That Supports LGBTQ+ Youth
This July, we’re proud to partner with akt, a UK charity working to support LGBTQ+ young people aged 16–25 who are facing homelessness or living in hostile environments. From 3–6 July, 100% of profits from Clear Start sold through our UK sites will go directly to akt to help provide safe housing, mentorship, and life-saving support.
Why akt?
Coming out should never mean being pushed out. Yet for many LGBTQ+ youth, rejection at home leads to unstable or unsafe living conditions. akt exists to change that. Their mission aligns with our values: to create spaces that are inclusive, empowering, and supportive—where people can show up as their whole selves.
What your purchase supports
Every Clear Start product you buy during this time helps akt provide:
- Emergency accommodation
- Access to mental health services
- Support with finding long-term housing and employment
- A network of allies who understand the unique challenges LGBTQ+ young people face
So whether you’re restocking your favourite breakout-fighter or trying something new, your purchase will go further—helping someone else feel seen, supported, and safe.
How to get involved
From 3–6 July, shop any Clear Start product at dermalogica.co.uk/clear-start 100% of the profits from your order will be donated to akt. Learn more here: https://www.akt.org.uk/
Because clear skin is great—but clear support for LGBTQ+ youth is even better.'
