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?

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You may prefer Essential Cleansing Solution. Kind Regards, Bernadette

What are the key ingredient in this product?

Litia

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Moisturizing Safflower Oil softens and conditions while invigorating extracts of Rosemary and Lemon refresh tired skin. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Can I use this cleanser with the overnight retinol repair?

Danielle

Hello Danielle, Yes this cleanser is OK to use since it does not have exfoliants. Kind Regards, Bernadette

How much of this product should you use each time? Like a pea sized amount, or more?

Shelby

Hello Shelby, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use the size of a pea to dime with water. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Can you use this product in the eye area?

Robin

Dear Robin, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Yes, Essential Cleansing Solution is safe to use over the eyes. Kind Regards, Robin

I have been purchasing the 16.9 fl. oz. in the past. Do you not carry that size since I would prefer it? Thank you

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

Bernadette

I have break out prone skin, a bit oily but also flakey and dry so I'm not sure what product to use. I'm using the clearing skin wash, daily microfoliant, mult active toner and active moist. I'm considering using the essential cleansing lotion to help balance my combination skin.

Shay

Dear Shay, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. It sounds like you are dehydrated. Essential Cleansing Solution is oil rich and will do nothing for dehydrated skin and might make you break out more. Instead, try Special Cleansing Gel. It will deep clean without over drying. use the size of a pea with lots of water. You can also mix Skin Hydrating Booster into Active Moist. Skin Hydrating Booster is a hydrating, oil-free serum. Kind Regards, The Dermalogica team
