Reviews

Best ever!

"Special cleansing gel is great. It lathers really well in your hand and has a smooth gel consistency. Even my husband uses it now. It makes your face feel super clean and refreshed. Definitely leaves your face with a glow"

— Tammy F. (5/5)

Consistently use this product for great results!

"This face wash is amazing! I've been using it for years, and recently tried something else. I saw a real difference in my skin, it became more oily & sweaty, I went right back to buying dermalogica special cleansing gel!"

— Esther K. (5/5)

Gentle on sensitive skin

"I have super sensitive skin and I'm prone to redness. This cleansing gel works so well for me! It cleans without drying and removes dirt and makeup flawlessly. I follow it up with the daily microfoliant and my skin looks perfect."

— Rebecca S. (5/5)

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)

Excellent cleanser with wonderful refill bag

"My preferred cleanser for some years now. Love it more especially since I'm able to buy the environmentally-friendly refill pack"

— C C. (5/5)

Great cleanser

"I have used this cleanser for over 2 years. I love it. No particular smell and I've never had an issue with breaking out or anything. I have dry skin so I follow up with other products after this one."

— Melody A. (5/5)

Great face wash

"My skin is problematic with breakouts. This cleans my face after using the oil precleanser. My skin feels clean and soft."

— Cindy A. (5/5)

Longtime fan

"I was first given this gel by a makeup artist on a film (The Grudge!) to wash off my makeup from a scene. I fell in love, and have used it loyally ever since. The bottle lasts such a long time— more than a year— and feels so silky."

— Eve G. (5/5)

Great for sensitive skin

"If you have sensitive skin you still need to put a moisturizer on your face. This product still has the tendency to dry your face. I've tried lots of face washes and this is good for cleaning your face. So its not for everyone, I suggest you try a sample first before buying a bigger one. Give it a chance to work for you."
