The Double Cleanse Set includes two full-size products: PreCleanse (a deep-cleansing oil) and Special Cleansing Gel (a soap-free foaming gel cleanser). Together, they form the complete dermalogica Double Cleanse — the two-step method used by skin therapists to achieve a thorough, professional-level clean.
Double cleansing is a two-step cleansing method that uses an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and surface buildup — followed by a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. The first step breaks down what sits on top of the skin; the second step cleanses the skin itself. Used together, the two steps allow each product to work more effectively than either would alone.
It is suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. PreCleanse is formulated to dissolve excess sebum without clogging pores, and Special Cleansing Gel gently cleanses without disrupting the skin's natural moisture balance — making the routine appropriate for everyday use across a wide range of skin concerns.
Start with PreCleanse: dispense onto dry hands and massage over dry face and eyes to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and surface debris. Wet hands to create a light, milky emulsion, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow immediately with Special Cleansing Gel: gently lather a small amount in moistened hands, apply to dampened face and throat, and rinse with warm water. Continue with your prescribed dermalogica toner and moisturizer.

Yes. PreCleanse is formulated to melt away waterproof makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, environmental pollutants, and residual skin care products that accumulate throughout the day.

Yes. Sunscreen, excess sebum, environmental pollutants, and residual skin care products accumulate on the skin throughout the day regardless of makeup use. Double cleansing helps ensure these layers are fully removed so the skin is thoroughly clean and better prepared to absorb the products that follow.

"Both products have such silky, smooth textures that feel amazing on the skin! The PreCleanse does a fantastic job removing my makeup, with the exception of eye makeup. The Special Cleansing Gel is an absolute must have in my skincare routine! I love mixing it with Dermalogica’s exfoliator for an extra deep cleanse. The combination is a dream and leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and clean without feeling stripped or dry. I absolutely love these products!"
"Cleans dirt off face pretty well. Having the duo as a kit is a life saver as I recently switched to this and my face has never been clearer."
"I love all dermalogica products. Ive been using them for decades. My breakouts have been well controlled since. The pre cleanse is great at removing make up. Could not live without it. The cleanser is good but I think I like the blue cleanser better. forgot what its called. Its a new product"
"As someone with a balanced skin type, this Dermalogica duo is my absolute favorite. The oil is amazing—it melts away and removes all makeup instantly without any scrubbing. Following up with the cleanser leaves my face feeling incredibly clean and fresh."
"This was my first time trying the precleanse oil and I am very impressed! It melts off makeup with ease and feels nice and light on the skin. After rinsing, it leaves the skin feeling nice and hydrated. I was a bit surprised by the size, but ultimately it lasts a long time. I've also noticed that I don't press it fully, as I don't need as much of the oil as the full press releases, so that makes it last even longer. Great product and will continue using."
"I cannot say enough about this product line. I started using it exclusively in June and I love it! I have received numerous random compliments on my skin from other people even."
"As an esthetician, the Dermalogica PreCleanse + Special Cleansing Gel double cleanse is one I swear by! PreCleanse melts away makeup, sunscreen and oil in seconds without leaving my skin greasy. Then the Special Cleansing Gel goes in to deep clean, and it rinses off so fresh and soft, never tight or dry. My skin looks clearer and more glowy every time, and my clients notice the difference too. 10/10, a must have in my routine 💖"
"Very pleased to add this set to my daily skin care routine. I’ve used many of products over the years to get thus far in my skin care journey. The glow from Dermalogica has been amazing. I heard about them but was hesitant. Glad to say, looks like I was wrong. Only 2 months in and my skin is brighter, smoother and even more radiant! These products walk it like they talk it. Great work to the team @ Dermalogica 👏🏾 Hands down, great results"
"My favorite combo for my skincare routine. It lathers so well and really gets all the dirts out of my pores. I used this same combo on my previous clients and it works wonders. Love dermalogica!!!!!!!!!"
"This is my go to for an amazing Double Cleanse. Leaves my skin feeling fresh and super clean from the day. I never miss a night time routine with this power house duo!"
