Best Cleanser!

Sarah

This cleanser leaves my skin feeling so clean and doesn't dry my skin out. My favourite cleanser I've used.
  1. Fragrance overpowering

    Brig

    Strongest fragrance I have ever smelled in a product. Not keen to continue using on my sensitive skin.

    Chloe

    Gentle, non drying, cleanse twice at night. Always use it keeps acne clear
  4. Satisfactory

    Meg

    I had high hopes for this cleanser as I had seen many people recommend it, and I was not let down. The texture is lovely, and the product always leaves my skin nice and clean (imagine that- a cleanser leaving your skin clean) without feeling stripped or tight. I have combination skin and find often times that cleansers either address oily skin or dry skin and it has taken me a long time to find a ...

    Brady

    Great product and great store. I highly recommend both!!
  6. Holy Grail of cleansers

    Mel

    This is my all time favourite cleanser that I have been using for many years. It doesn't strip your skin. Great for combination skin types. Takes off my make up really well. The big bottle lasts me for well over 6 months
  7. Good cleanser

    JG

    A nice cleanser does the job I always double cleanse and this has Lasted me forever Nice on the skin I use before my dermalogica micro exfoliant
  8. Makes you feel squeaky clean

    Britt

    My partner uses this cleanser daily, he is a carpenter and I wanted a product that would clean his skin removing any dirt etc from the day. It definitely makes his skin clean, smooth and breakout free.
  9. Good

    Chloe

    Excellent product for sensitive skin and provides a good cleanse while hydrating
  10. Good value and gentle on sensitive skin

    Selina

    I've been using this cleanser for 3 years now. I've got hormonal acne prone skin, and it's a gentle cleanser that works for me
  11. Love this product

    Scarlet

    My skin feels fresh after using this cleanser. A little goes a long way as it lathers up nicely, so it lasts a long time. Highly recommend.
  12. Great

    Charlotte

    I bought this a little while ago and it's an excellent cleanser - I typically use it for a second cleanse, after an oil cleanse and come away feeling like all traces of makeup and sunscreen have been completely removed and yet it doesn't strip my skin. The 500ml size also seems to last forever
  13. My go too

    Kandida

    I love this product and have purchased many times. Perfect for a daily wash, leaves skin feeling beautiful. Small amount goes a long way and the price for the big bottle is so worth it even not on sale.
  14. Fresh and clean

    Bec

    Takes off all makeup without feeling like my skins stripped. Lathers nicely, skin is left feeling clean and fresh. A little goes a long way.
  15. Every day!

    Rikki

    Have used this cleanser for over a year now and throughout my pregnancy and post partum skin journey this has been always a great part of my routine. This does contain a small amount of lavender just as a FYI for anyone who is sensitive
  16. Special

    SK

    This is a beautiful cleanser that leaves the skin clean but not dry and tight. It’s great at removing grime and makeup

    Flower

    This is a fantastic cleanser! 100% recommend
  18. Good as a second cleanser

    Brigita

    I have used this for a while now as a second cleanser, it’s a bit strong in fragrance but cleans well.
  19. Only cleanser I will be buying for the rest of my life

    Petcha

    This is the best cleanser in my opinion. I’ve gone through at least 3 bottles until I bought 500ml one. Such a great value and you only need half the pump. My boyfriend loves is as well !!
  20. Oldie but a Goodie! An Essential staple in my skincare regime.

    melmelmel

    I first used this product in my 20s and it was great for my dehydrated sensitive breakout prone skin. It is effective in clearing congestion and calming the skin at the same time. Now in my 30's Ive returned to it after finding my skin wasn't happy anymore with the one I was previously using. After just 2 washes with this again and so much of the redness I was experiencing is gone, the deep painfu...

  23. Love it

    Becsta

    I have sensitive, normal to dry skin. I have used this for years and will continue to do so, so long as the price doesn't increase. I love the pump as well.
  24. My new everyday cleanser!

    Chloe

    I have used this cleanser for years now and always find it does a great job. I do find that with any sunscreen on I need to double cleanse with either a pre-cleanser or a second round of the gel to really feel clean but in the mornings and days without other products on my face this gets the job done.
  25. Repurchase again and again.

    Donna

    This cleanser is IT for me! The texture, the way it foams, the smell, all of it. Every time I venture away from it I come running back. I love a gel cleanser, especially when it doesn't strip the skin which is exactly what this cleanser fulfils. I will continue to go come back to this cleanser time and time again, like I have for the last ten years.
  26. Favourite Cleanser EVER

    Renae

    I started using this product 3-4 years ago, and I haven't been able to go back since. I switched to a different cleanser once in that time, and went straight back to using this. It's not stripping, so hydrating and perfect for my very sensitive skin. I've struggled with acne and this has been the best thing for my skin.
  27. Good gel cleanser

    Rebecca

    Nice and fresh Good cleanser with a gel texture that lathers I think you can find the equivalent in the cerave hydrating cleanser

    Cas

    Love this cleanser a little amount will easily remove my make-up. Love cleansers that come in large pump bottles like this..so it stays in the same spot on my bathroom sink and has lasted me months so far Well worth it
  37. Obssessed with this cleanser

    Ren

    The most gentle cleanser ever and not too greasy feeling like some squalene ones. It does dispense a lot so you have to push gently. I think it's great value and will last ages if you are gentle with the dispenser. Love that it foams up. Currently using with the microfoliant and they compliment each other well. I have rosacea, and don't get any irritation.
  38. Simple cleanser with a nice scent

    Don

    This is a decent cleanser but the packaging dispenses way too much at once! I bought a 500ml to last me longer but even a tiny pump unleashes an ocean of cleanser. Other than that I am happy with it and will keep using

  84. Not quite a full cleaner

    Gardener

    I use a lot of Dermalogiacl products, and this is a weak link for me. I generally do a pre-cleanse and I find that this Cleansing Gel still leaves some make up and product on my face (and on my towel). I have barely used it as a result.

  86. It was too drying for me

    Bree

    I found double cleansing with this and the pre-cleanse oil left my face very very dry. I don't like products with overpowering fragrance either. I will not buy this again, or any dermalogica products due to the overuse of fragrance.
  87. It's ok.

    Annette

    An okay general cleanser. Made my skin feel really dry and tight after using it.

  96. Excellent gentle cleanser for my sensitive skin

    Serena

    I received a sample of this product and was interested to try it as an alternative to the gentle cleansing gel. It was still really gentle and non-irritating which was great. It foams really well so only a small amount is required. My skin felt clean and hydrated after using it. It worked well to remove my makeup and skincare. I like that its available in a large size and will purchase it.

    Considering how gentle it is in cleansing, I found it quite drying
  98. Best Cleanser Ever!

    KL

    Lovely cleanser to use, it leaves your face feeling soft and clean although not tight and 'squeaky clean'. The bottle lasts FOREVER - I use it twice a day and get nearly a year out of a pump bottle. I have been really happy with the results using it on my skin for the last few years.
  99. A bathroom staple
