Excellent!
"Love this cleanser! I am on the dry side and this cleanses without drying my skin out more. It removes my makeup nicely and my skin feels clean, yet supple and hydrated. I use this morning and night and plan to continue using this long term. It has a nice creamy consistency and it also smells pleasant."

I was having trouble with
"I was having trouble with my regimen. I was using the Oil to Foam Cleanser. I chatted with a customer service representative. She recommended The Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser for my dry skin. The results overall have been amazing. She gave me step by step instructions on how to use my products. To finish I use Dynamic Skin Recovery in the day. SPF OF 30. Oxygen Cream at night."
— Jodie H. (5/5)
Help!!
"I am so happy you emailed me. I loved the Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser so much that I purchased the 10oz . I also purchased the Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream after receiving samples from a facial. I really love how the moisturizer looks on my face - it gives my skin a beautiful finish and feels very hydrating. However I seem to be experiencing a reaction . My eyes will not stop watering and the skin is very irritated. I feel my skin must be very sensitive. I have stop using both products for two days and I am now ok. I would you have a trial size for me to try for sensitive skin. I really do want to use your products."
— Stacy G. (5/5)
Nice cleanser
"This is a new product for me to try and I'm still not sure if what the magnetic part is about. I do like it as a nightly cleanser about as much as the Daily Glycolic cleanser that I used previously, but it's only been a month. I have dry skin with oily points usually being along my nose ridge when hot. I use this as my cleanser at night and follow it up with the Dermalogica retinol serum or the intensive moisturizer. It helps me prep my skin before a night as well."
— Jasmine C. (5/5)
Amazing 🤩
"I love this product!! I will be using it forever. My skin drinks it up and feels so well taken care of. 5/5 stars!"
— Lauren (5/5)
Use this as my nightime cleanser
"I started using this as my nightime cleanser to really get out all the dirt and grime that builds up throughout the day. Never leaves my skin feeling dry or tight and I typically follow it up with my other nightime skincare products to soak in while I sleep."
— Rachel A. (4/5)
Great product!

Q&A
Can I use both the Special Cleansing Gel and Magentic afterglow cleanser or one? If I can, in which order? My routine is Precleanse, special cleansing gel, daily microfoliant, skin smoothing cream.
Hello Thylia, thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica and sharing your current skincare routine with us, it’s great to see you’re giving your skin such consistent care! Yes, you can absolutely use both the Special Cleansing Gel and the Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser alternatively in your current routine! Given your current routine, here’s how we recommend you layer your products: PreCleanse Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser OR Special Cleansing Gel Daily Microfoliant (once daily, or every other day if skin is sensitive) Skin Smoothing Cream Please let us know if you have any further questions! Kind Regards, Beatriz. Professional Skin Therapist.
Can I wash my eye area with this product?
Hi, and thank you for your question. The Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser is meant to be massaged onto a damp face and neck, but we don’t recommend using it around the eye area. If you’re looking for something safe to use near your eyes, we suggest Precleanse or Special Cleansing Gel—both are gentle and great options for removing makeup and cleansing the skin. Let us know if you have any other questions—we’re happy to help! Kindly, Sandra
If products are vegan, (which I found via a google search are as of 2024) why don't I find this noted anywhere on the website? Thank you
Hello Jan, Thank you for reaching out! You can find this in certain places on our site such as the following page: https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/sustainability Yes, we are certified vegan by PETA on all current Dermalogica product formulas. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
What skin type is suitable for this cleanser? Could you please compare this cleanser to special cleansing gel?
Hi there, Nook! The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a gentle foaming cleanser that is soap-free, doesn’t strip the skin, and works well for normal to oily or combination skin types, including sensitive skin. In contrast, the Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser is designed to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities while also leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated. Its formula leans toward being more nourishing, so it’s best suited for normal to dry skin types, or anyone needing extra moisture and glow! Please let us know if you have any further questions. Kind Regards, Beatriz. Professional Skin Therapist.
Can this be used (or is it even recommended) to mix with the daily microfoliant when using?
Hello Tasha, Yes, you may absolutely use the Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser in combination with the Daily Microfoliant. These two products can complement each other in your skincare routine. They may also be mixed together for a customized cleansing and exfoliating experience. However, for best results, we highly recommend first activating the Daily Microfoliant by dispensing a small amount into wet hands and lathering it into a creamy foam. Once the Microfoliant is fully activated, you can then add the Magnetic Afterglow Cleanser to the mixture and proceed with your cleansing routine. I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions or need additional tips, we’re always happy to help! Kindly, Sandra
