the double cleanse

At Dermalogica, we believe that cleansing the skin – properly, delivers immediate skin care benefits, and is an integral part of whole-body health. For that, we created the Dermalogica Double Cleanse, a method that works to thoroughly clean skin while keeping it balanced.

how to double cleanse

double cleansing image dissolve oil based debris
01

dissolve oil-based debris

Start by using an oil-based cleanser that works to remove makeup and environmental pollutants that adhere to the skin throughout the day and toxins excreted at night. The first cleanse deep cleans without clogging pores or compromising the skin’s natural lipid barrier.

Our top pick: precleanse

02

gently cleanse away remaining toxins

Our studies show that one cleanse just isn’t enough, and debris left behind can result in congestion, breakouts, and dehydration in the skin. So, for the second cleanse, use a gentle gel, cream-based, or foaming wash according to your skin type to address your specific needs and to gently wash away any residue left behind.

Our top pick: special cleansing gel
