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.

Reviews

LOVE THIS!

"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."

— Rebecca S. (5/5)

Almost perfect

"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."

— arianne m. (4/5)

Actually love this cleanser

"Love using this when after a day of wearing makeup I feel like it really gets everything clean!"

— Liz (4/5)

Dermalogica is Vital for great Skin Care!

"I have been using Dermalogica for years! This product is consistent and keeps my skin glowing! This wash is great!"

— Cheryl B. (5/5)

Perfect for me

"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."

— Lynn R. (5/5)

This is a rich cleanser,

"This is a rich cleanser, which leaves your skin feeling clean and smooth. There is no oily feeling. Great product!!"

— Mandy F. (5/5)

Like Special Cleanser better

"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."

— Andrea N. (5/5)

Youthful radiance

"Fantastic! It leaves my 66 year old skin feeling so clean and fresh! And it makes it look so radiant and young!"

— Jennifer W. (5/5)

highly recommend

"from the first moment I tried this product, I was hooked. It's especially great for taking off makeup"

— Suzanne S. (5/5)

A must have!

"This product suds good! The ingredients are amazing and love the texture"

— Sarah F. (5/5)

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

Is it safe to use oil to foam total cleanser on scalp/hair?: Hi there, Greg! Please avoid using the Oil To Foam Cleanser on the scalp/hair. The product is designed for the face area. Thank you! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is this product safe for pregnancy: Hi, Shae! Please reach out to your doctor to confirm! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
