Oil to foam cleanser

My new favorite cleanser
"Glad I had the guts to change from Special Cleansing Gel. Works better for me."
— DermaQueen (5/5)
Not my favorite
"This was a suprise and not a good one. I really wanted to like this but I dont. I firmly believe the pre cleanser is the only way to go. I dont care for the scent of this new cleanser all in one. I will use this product as i wasted my reward points on this."
— Jacquelin B. (2/5)
Q&A
What is the difference between this and precleanse, which is also an oil to milky foam cleanser? I only use preclense because I don’t really wear makeup and I love that product so much. Additionally, my skin gets too dry if I use preclense followed by another cleaner. This seems like preclense with more “umph”. Yes?
Hello Meredith, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. At Dermalogica, we believe that clean skin is the foundation for skin health! This is why we recommend a double cleanse that starts with A Precleanse followed by your skin specific cleanser for both morning and night. This will help all your other skin products work even better! With the oil to foam total cleanser, this combines this double cleansing routine into one step! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
