Comments about precleanse:
My skin gets so much cleaner when i use this before the cleanser. My complexion has cleared up
Comments about precleanse:
love the feel, the smell but wish it would do the job alone and not just the prep..
addicted anyway..
Comments about precleanse:
I wear lots make up. It makes skin feel clean. Very happy about this one. I follow with the essential cleaning solution.
Comments about precleanse:
I'm almost 27 & still dealing with acne. I was recommended precleanse. I noticed a huge difference in my skin. I would use the product on a daily basis, then my acne would clear up. But if I didn't use the product for a few days, I would break out. I couldn't believe the change in my skin from using the product. I'm so amazed how well this product works!
Comments about precleanse:
Shortly after (less than a week) introducing the precleanse into my routine, my skin started to breakout, all over my face. I stopped using it and it started to calm down. The hyperpigmentation will probably take a few months to disappear.
I should have probably checked the ingredients for irritants before purchasing this, I didn't feel the need because I trusted the brand.
I would like at least be able to return it but I guess I'll have to throw it out since they don't accept returns of opened items.
Comments about precleanse:
No matter the amount of product I use, I don't feel nor see any benefits (positive or negative).
I feel this product is not for me.
Comments about precleanse:
So I have extremely oily skin and was hesitant on using this stuff because it has an oily feel, BUT it works and after using it your face isn't oily like you would expect. Weird how it's like oil fighting oil. If you have oily skin DON'T be afraid to try this, you will be AMAZED!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about precleanse:
Fantastic product that partners well with the special cleansing gel. Removes dirt and makeup very easily. It is however very oily and can become messy when adding water to your face. It also has a strong citrus scent.
Comments about precleanse:
I wear a lot of makeup to work every day. I also exercise regularly and so these were huge concerns for me. I was looking for a product that would really actually clean my face. What is great about this product is that you first put it on just as the oil but then you add water and it makes a good scrub for your face. My face always feels so much better once I use this product.
Comments about precleanse:
I had no idea using a "pre" cleanse before my regular cleanser would have the benefits this product has. Using this first allows the oil to bond with the oils on my skin, and removes any additional dirt or pollution before I use my targeted cleanser. You use it with a dry face/hands, apply on the face, and then get your hands damp and emulsify the product - You'll see it turn white. Then rinse and follow with your targeted cleanser. I was nervous to use it because it is an oil, but as I mentioned before the oil bonds to the oil on your face, and removes it.

Q:
I go to the gym after work, and of course, I take my makeup off (usually with a wipe) before working out. I then give my face the full cleansing regimen later that night before I go to bed. Should I use the Pre Cleanse to remove my makeup before my workout, or should I continue to use a wipe for pre-workout makeup removal and then use the Pre Cleanse during my final night time regimen to remove any sweat, residual makeup, etc.?1 answer

Hello,Q:
With my sensitive skin, this PreCleanse is both gentle and thorough. The problem has been the packaging. My last three purchases have arrived with less than half as the rest spilled in transit and, once here, the pump is constantly leaking. Considering that this issue has been brought to your attention repeatedly since you changed the top, are there any plans to change the pump? Or even give us an option?1 answer

Hello Susana,
Merchant response: Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Thank you for your feedback. For best results, Double Cleanse at night. Precleanse can be your first step and follow with a cleanser like Special Cleansing Gel. You can also add an exfoliation step like Daily Microfoliant for best results.
Kind Regards,
Bernadette
