"After using an olive oil pre-cleanse my facialist recommended the micellar prebiotic precleanse. My skin has felt cleaner and calmer since. Great as a first step before using the dermalogica cleanser of your choice. Follow up with moisturizer, I use the oil free."
"I like how this feels and makes my skin feel very soft, but it is a “double cleansing” product meaning I use this and then have to use face wash afterward, I’m just not sure that double cleanse life is for me so I removed a star. But if you do like that, I’d say this product is excellent"
"This precleanser is hard to find, but worth the wait/hassle to order online. It breaks down even the heavisest make-up looks, and melts products away while also being gentle on your skin. I always follow it with the special cleansing gel; the combination leave my face feeling refreshed."
"Great product. Love the creamy texture that cleanses well as a precleanse product. Good addition to my skin cleansing routine."
"This contributed to my skin breaking out. Breakout cleared when I stopped using this. It’s just too much for my sensitive skin."
"Great product and great customer service as always"
"use it together with the gel cleanser to remove my makeup and wash my face and it’s really soft and gentle with my skin totally in love with this product, super recommend for sensitive skin"
"This is a great precleanse I have difficult skin and this never causes an issue great for sensitive skin. Easy to apply and easy to remove."
"This product smells like a spa. It’s a great product I can’t do without. Does what it’s supposed to do."
"Love this product . Better than the other precleanse that smells and is too oily. My skin is better since I've been using dermalogica products. Never get rid of this product."
