Nourishing micellar milky precleanse lifts away dirt, oil, and make-up while helping balance skin’s microbiome with prebiotics.
Gentle lightweight first-step cleanser with oatmilk melts into the skin - attracting and dissolving impurities with cleansing micellar Murumuru Butter, then rinsing them away to prepare skin for the second step of cleansing. A prebiotic blend helps to balance skin's microbiome and boost its capacity for moisture retention. Emollient Apricot Kernel Oil delivers antioxidant benefits. Amino Acid-rich Cotton Seed Protein conditions and reinforces skin's barrier.
Using dry hands, massage over dry face and eyes to melt away make-up and debris. Wet hands and continue massaging to create a light, milky emulsion, then rinse.

"I have used all of the precleanses from Dermalogica and this one works the best. I am a big fan of Micellar water but hate scrubbing at my face with a cotton pad. The texture of this product is perfect. It melts the makeup off my face and leaves it ready to cleanse. Definitely a regular part of my routine. My skin is much glowier."
"Wonderful cleanser for double cleansing. Balm like texture instead of oil, perfect consistency to remove makeup, grime, and oils accumulated throughout the day. Smells good too!"
"love this precleanse! super milky texture and soft on my skin. perfect before cleansing."
"Melts mascara away with ease. My skin is definitely cleaner after using."
"Not sure if it’s the prebiotic, but my chin is a lot bumpier now since trying this product. I originally thought it was just the pre-cleanse that I was buying, but this product is different."
"I love this make-up remover, my face feels so clean and smooth afterwards. I use all dermalogica products."
"I have such highly sensitive skin. I break out and can definitely tell the difference when I use the normal Precleanse versus this one! This is an absolute must for sensitive skin! I have rosacea and have to be very careful about what I put on my skin."
"This precleanse has been exactly what I needed to help gently remove makeup. I use as step one followed by the Special Cleansing Gel or the Ultra Calming Cleanser. My skin is very sensitive and prone to break outs, but I have seen positive results in adding this product to my routine."
"this product does a great job removing grime from the day, prior to cleansing."
"I heard the hype about micellar water and thought this product would be perfect, partly because I wouldn't need another step to use micellar, it is part of the formula! I have a modest makeup routine: Laura Mercier foundation, gel pen eyeliner, and mascara. Sadly, this precleanse was a waste of my money because it absolutely does not remove makeup. It is very gentle, has a nice skin-feel afterwards but makeup is still on my skin including smudged eyeliner. I will not purchase again."
