Reviews

I'll use Dermalogica FOR LIFE! 😍

"I was introduced to Dermalogica when I went to beauty school 30 years ago. I've tried other products since, but always came back. Dermalogica products not only make my skin look, feel and smell AMAZING, it 1000% makes my skin look younger. (Im told, for my age. Lol I just turned 58 last month). Ive been to a spa 4 times and the experiences were Heaven! When I use Dermalogica products, my skin literally feels and smells exactly like I just came from a spa! The aromatherapy experience is beyond spectacular 😍 My only wish, Is that I could afford all the products I need all the time lol I'm still a check to check single mom taking care of my daughter due to her vision issues. The great thing also are products last so long because you hardly use much each time as they are so concentrated with pure products, not just water, like most other products I've tried. There a reason they are still around all this time and I'm Soo thankful they are❣️🥰😍"

— Julie G. (5/5)

The best cleansing gel

"I tried every brand there is and this is the best cleansing gel. I would have never bought it if i didn’t receive it as a tester first. So allowing people to test products out is very smart. I bought alot of products from here after recieving a tester"

— Best g. (5/5)

Q&A

I use medical grade RetinA...can your hydrating toner mist be used with this. I just placed an order for your mist and now I am wondering if it is helpful to use with my routine.
Hi there, Arlen! Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Yes, the Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist can work in your routine! The product contains ceramides which helps replenish lipids and strengthen the skin barrier, reducing irritation and helping skin tolerate Retin-A better over time. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Which cleanser is safe for young teenage girls - special cleansing gel or ultracalming cleanser?
Hello Laurie, Thank you so much for reaching out to us with your question! We love that you’re helping a young teen start a healthy skin care routine. Both Special Cleansing Gel and UltraCalming Cleanser are gentle, soap-free options that are safe for teenage skin. The best choice really depends on her skin type: Special Cleansing Gel: Ideal for normal to combination skin. It gives a refreshing, deep-clean feel without stripping the skin. UltraCalming Cleanser: Perfect for more sensitive or easily irritated skin, as it has soothing ingredients to calm and comfort. If you’re unsure which way to go, Special Cleansing Gel is a great everyday starting point for most teens, but if her skin tends to get red, itchy, or reactive, the UltraCalming Cleanser may be the gentler fit! We’d be happy to guide you further if you’d like to share a little more about her skin type and concerns! Kind Regards, Beatriz
Is this product pregnancy safe?
Hello Alicia, Thank you for your question! The Special Cleansing Gel does not contain any ingredients noted to be harmful during pregnancy, though we highly recommend consulting with your medical provider in case they have specific recommendations for you.  Kind regards, Ashlyn​
Hello - How does this differ from the oil to foam total cleanser? I tried the oil to foam which I really like, but I do have sensitive skin and am wondering if this may be better. But I like that the oil to foam also helps to gently remove makeup.
Hi there, Allison! Thank you for your question! Our Special Cleansing Gel is our popular foaming cleanser, formulated to be gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive skin types, and can even double as an eye makeup remover! Our Oil-To-Foam Total Cleanser is designed to melt off make-up, sebum (oil), and sunscreen. This is a great cleanser for those just starting a skincare routine and want to double cleanse with just one product before choosing specific cleansers for their skin needs! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Q: Is this cleanser safe for pregnancy women?
Hello Jessica, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The Special Cleansing Gel is safe to use while pregnant. We highly recommend confirming with your doctor as well. Kind Regards, Beatriz
