"This is hands down the best cleanser I have used! Your face feels refreshed after using it and it has truly helped with hyperpigmentation. I highly recommend it to all of my friends that are looking for a new cleanser."

— Chyenne K. (5/5)

"Kind of disappointed in the dispenser. There is no airflow, so the bottle just collapses on itself when you pump it. I haven’t noticed anything special about the cleanser."

— Paige K. (3/5)

"I used this on and off because I thought it broke me out. I don't know if it did or if I was because of something else. Regardless, I have been using it steadily now and have no problems. Just bought my second bottle."

Perfect

"I love how easily it lathers and how even without an exfoliating sponge, it still makes my skin feel super clean."

— Yan S. (5/5)

Comparison

"I do like this cleanser. It is gentle yet effective. I use it in conjunction with the pre cleanse and I feel like this compbination works best for my skin. I have rosacea and adult acne so my skin is very sensitive and so far I have had no adverse reactions to these. I was previously using Paula's Choice and a First Aids cream which were very gentle but my skin was extremely congested and I did not see any improvement after 3 months. I switched to Dermalogica to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. I will say the cost is a major detterent, so I will stick with it as long as I can."

— Stephany A. (5/5)

Estetician's Recommendation

"My estetician recommended this cleaner for me. It has not disappointed."

Hello can this product be used for people whom have seborrheic dermatitis n sensitive oily skin: Hello, Arnetta! Thank you for your question! Your skin would work best with cleansing with the Special Cleansing Gel rather than the Daily Glycolic Cleanser. Special Cleansing Gel deep cleans without stripping your skin. This cleanser is formulated to be gentle enough for all skin types, and can even double as an eye makeup remover! Please click on the link here to view the Special Cleansing Gel Page: https://www.dermalogica.com/products/special-cleansing-gel Kind Regards, Beatriz
What % is the glycolic acid in this cleanser?: Hello, thank you for your question. It is a 3% glycolic acid cleanser! Kind regards, Amber The Dermalogica Team
Can I use it everyday? I have sensitive skin and suffer from hyperpigmentation: Hi there, thank you for your question. Try using the Daily Glycolic Cleanser daily in either the AM or the PM, but not both. This will ensure that you do not have a reaction or dryness occur from over exfoliation.
