Reviews
Cleanser
"I’ve been using the Dermalogica Oil to Foam Total Cleanser and absolutely love it! It leaves my face feeling so clean, soft, and refreshed without drying it out. I love how it starts as an oil and turns into a gentle foam — my skin feels smooth and healthy after every wash. Definitely one of my favorite cleansers I’ve tried!"
— Amy M. (5/5)
Love this product!!!
"I am so obsessed with this product! I used to use the daily cleanser, which I also love but tried this out and it makes my skin feel so clean! Especially in combination with the pre-cleanse. :)"
— Alexa M. (5/5)
Not my favorite
"This was a suprise and not a good one. I really wanted to like this but I dont. I firmly believe the pre cleanser is the only way to go. I dont care for the scent of this new cleanser all in one. I will use this product as i wasted my reward points on this."
— Jacquelin B. (2/5)
Perfect cleanser!
"I’ve been using the Dermalogica Oil to Foam Cleanser and I really love it. It’s super gentle on my skin but still leaves it feeling really clean. I especially like that it combines the pre-cleanse step with a regular cleanser, so it removes makeup and impurities in one wash without being harsh. My skin feels soft, balanced, and not stripped after using it. Definitely a great option if you want an effective but gentle all-in-one cleanser."
— Devika F. (5/5)
Love it!

"I use this after the Pre-Cleanse and it makes my face squeaky clean! I have oily skin and this helps so I don’t breakout. A must have!"
— Amy M. (5/5)
Lazy Girl Approved
"The Special Cleansing Gel and Precleanse had a baby and brought you this amazing 2 in 1! This removes the double cleanse routine and lets you do it all in one easy step. It’s lightly scented but does great to clean and remove everything from your face. Love!"

All time favorite pre wash
"This is my all time favorite face wash. I have combination skin and rosacea on my chin and cheeks. This helps calm the redness. It also is gentle for removing makeup. I love the way it feels on my skin and I use it every day. A must for every day!"
— Lara (5/5)
Q&A
What is the difference between this and precleanse, which is also an oil to milky foam cleanser? I only use preclense because I don’t really wear makeup and I love that product so much. Additionally, my skin gets too dry if I use preclense followed by another cleaner. This seems like preclense with more “umph”. Yes?
Hello Meredith, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. At Dermalogica, we believe that clean skin is the foundation for skin health! This is why we recommend a double cleanse that starts with A Precleanse followed by your skin specific cleanser for both morning and night. This will help all your other skin products work even better! With the oil to foam total cleanser, this combines this double cleansing routine into one step! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
