Deep-cleansing oil melts make-up and impurities from skin. Achieve ultra clean and healthy-looking skin with the Double Cleanse regimen that begins with PreCleanse. Thoroughly melt away layers of excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, waterproof make-up, environmental pollutants and residual products that build up on skin throughout the day. Ideal even for oily skin conditions.
Dispense into dry hands. Massage over dry face and eyes to dissolve surface oil and dirt. Concentrate on areas of congestion or stubborn debris. Wet hands and continue massaging to create a light, milky emulsion. Rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser for professional cleansing results.

"I have started incorporating the precleanse into my routine. I never knew I needed a precleanse oil, but this oil makes my skin feel great and helps clean off foundation/tinted sunscreen and prep my skin well for the dailing microfolient. Love the travel sizes for vacations."
"Since my skin transitioned to being mostly dry after menopause, finding a cleanser that doesn’t strip my skin has been a challenge. This cleansing oil is an absolute game-changer. I love that I can literally feel it working as I massage it in circular motions all over my face and neck. It melts away every trace of sunscreen and makeup while keeping my skin feeling incredibly nourished, soft, and balanced—never tight. It pairs beautifully with my hydration routine!"
"I"ve been using this precleanse for years and it works perfectly to remove all my makeup prior to cleansing (absolutely no makeup residue on my towel). I have very sensitive skin along with rosacea with occasional breakouts and I never have had an adverse reaction to this product."
"Handy travel size for upcoming holiday season trips. Great pre-clean face wash that doesn't dry out my skin and removes make-up."
"Several years ago my skin was just horribly dry and my aesthetician suggested this Pre-Cleanse...that was 11 years ago and I am still using it. It breaks down all the make-up...from sumner routines to winter routines and my face doesn't feel like dry leather afterwards! When they offered a pre-cleanse sample and I was heading to Hawaii...I couldn't resist...now it's being kept for future trips!"
"Love the scent… removes dirt and oils from the day. Then I follow up with Special Cleansing gel."
"Love the samples I received with my purchase! I've used both in the past and it reminded me how much I enjoy them and will be purchasing the full size products again."
"I have fallen in love with this product after daily use through the summer. My estetician also uses it before each service. Highly recommend this, the extra time is worth it."
"I really love the way this feels when I massage it in. I got the sample free, so I’m not sure I would purchase this product. It is nice to have for traveling."
"The best of the best! Precleanse is one of the best products I’ve ever used. It’s works so well in washing away the impurities before cleansing."
