Transformative oil to foam cleanser removes make-up, sunscreen, and debris while cleansing skin in one step for ultra-clean, healthy-looking skin.
This dual make-up remover and cleanser starts as a golden gel-oil infused with Sea Buckthorn Oil; massage into skin to melt away layers of make-up, sebum (oil), and sunscreen. A splash of water transforms the gel-oil into a rich cloud-like foam to wash away debris and any remaining impurities. This foaming cleanser with a plant-derived prebiotic leaves skin feeling instantly soft and smooth.
Slightly dampen face. Massage gel-oil over face and eyes to dissolve surface oil and dirt. Wet hands and continue massaging to create a foam to wash away make-up, sebum, and sunscreen. Rinse with warm water.

"I wanted to try this product to replace my 2-step system of using the Precleanse Oil and then a cleanser. Right away, this product has a chemical smell which is so unlike any other Dermalogica products I have used in the past. It's just not pleasant. It seems to work ok but I felt my skin a little drier than usual. So this is not a product I would recommend. I will return to my 2 step system."
"I like how this product evenly slides onto my skin and transition to a foamy, familiar, cleansing finish. It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and polished."
"this is my third refill! Love the gentle but thorough clean feeling. perfect for daily use. Takes off my mascara so well while not stressing my skin."
"I have sensitive to breakouts skin, aging (43yrs) and I wear SPF everyday. This is my favorite cleanser. It’s liquid and then turns foamy and rinses all traces of sunscreen and CC cream away in one go. My only reason for taking a star off is that I really think it should come in a pump bottle!! Please, even it’s just for a larger size, I would love to see it with a pump. I even save the pump containers from previous face washes so I can put this cleanser in them."
"Love using this when after a day of wearing makeup I feel like it really gets everything clean!"
"I have been using Dermalogica for years! This product is consistent and keeps my skin glowing! This wash is great!"
"I like the way this cleanser lathers and cleans my skin. Its a great product"
"At 80 I have good skin and I have bought and rejected many face washes. This is just right for me. After application it becomes a lovely foam that removes my daily SPF foundation, and toxic absorption. My skin is left dewy and clean after this simple procedure. I don’t know why some reviewers complain about the lid opening, I have had no issues with mine. I highly recommend this cleanser, especially if you like a foamy wash."
"This is a rich cleanser, which leaves your skin feeling clean and smooth. There is no oily feeling. Great product!!"
"I like the product okay, but I like the special cleaser more. This cleanser sometimes feels like soap is left behind, making my skin slighty tacky even after rinsing thoroughly. I also wish it was in a pump, as it comes out fast and seems to get all over the top. It's also hard to control how much product you use."
