This product saved my skin

I've suffered from pimples through the majority of my teenage years, I came across a tester of this and my skin has cleared and looks the best it's ever been. I can't live without this!

This is my go-to cleanser

5

This cleanser is so easy to use and doesn't leave my skin feeling drained and dry like many othersa I have tried but is still strong enough to remove makeup and excess oils. My skin hasn't looked healthier since making the switch.

Still early

I just started using this about a week ago. I got it after the Resurfacing cleanser was drying my skin. I switch off between the 2 and it seems to be sorting out the drying issue.

Best cleanser for sensitive skin being DISCONTINUED

5

I have been using this cleanser for years but just heard it is being discontinued. The new replacement was used during a Dermo facial and my face started to burn. The facialist said the new cleanser had Vitamin C...great, I'm really unable to use products that have a high concentration of Vit C. So disappointed in all the changes Dermologica is making to their products.

I love this product!

OH

true

Love this.

I use this every day on my dry skin. It's a lot more gentle and moisturizing than other face washes that foam up. My skin feels more hydrated, rather than stiff and tight after. I use this alongside the daily microfoliant and my dry patches are no more!

I will always use this product

Great for dry winter skin

5

I love this cleanser. I use it all winter to help defend against dry skin. It removes makeup pretty well too. It works great! In the summer I use special cleansing gel but in the winter it is too drying. I use this with intensive moisture balance and it is a perfect combo for glowy skin.

Cojo

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. It has been discontinued. You may prefer Intensive Moisture Cleanser. Kind Regards, Bernadette

I've been using the UltraCalming cleanser daily with tepid water and it's making my skin tight and dry. Would this be a better cleanser to use?

Sandi

Hi Sandi, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. We do carry that size. Please adjust sizes on the product page on the icon that says size. Kind Regards, Bernadette

I generally use the ultracalming cleanser and I Mistakingly ordred the essential cleansing solution. how much will this effect my skin. I love the ultracalming. Just wondering

kim

Hi Kim, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Essential Cleansing Solution is creamy and nourishes the skin. I know people who are dry and sensitive like to switch off between the two. I think you'll like it. For whatever reason if you do not, you can return it within 30 days as part of our satisfaction garauntee. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hi, My skin is extremely dry, sometimes even have small fine flakes on cheekbone after a day outside, even though I use moistures. But I also have acnes break out now and then on my forehead. So I'm not sure if I should use this essential cleansing solution or the special cleansing gel. I want it to help with the dry situation, but I also want the acnes gone... Do you have any good suggestions? Thank you very much!

Zona

Hi Zona, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Please try Special Cleansing Gel as a non drying cleanser. Essential Cleansing Solution is oil rich and not ideal for acne skin. Be sure to follow with a hydrating moisturizer like Active Moist. Kind Regards, Bernadette

If this product doesn't work well with my skin, can I get a full refund?

Fiona

Dear Fiona, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can return items within 30 days. For returns, you may call customer service at 800.345.2761 option 4. Kind Regards, The Dermalogica Team
