Dermalogica Precleanse

I started using the Dermalogica brand a year ago and went all in by buying various products including this precleanse. It’s an oil based cleanser and is to be used before the gel cleanser / face wash. I used this to remove my makeup and was quite disappointed with the product. It definitely did not remove my makeup and had to be reapplied to actually do the job. I personally don’t think it’s worth the price and have found cheaper products do a better job… Dermalogica is an amazing brand and I love all their other products - but this one unfortunately won’t be repurchased by me.

Precleanse does what it says it does - removes makeup really well as the first step in your cleansing routine. It doesn't clean your face (due to it's oil base) but it loosens up the makeup and improves the effectiveness of your cleanser. I won't use it again though, because the packaging & sales rep insisted it was great for sensitive skin, but it stings the area around my eyes so badly and makes them red - no way I could use it to remove eye make up. I know people who use it who don't have this problem though, I would just say if you have sensitive skin be a bit wary, maybe try the trial size first.

This product was incredible especially if you were a lot of make up during the day. Cleans the face thoroughly before cleansing. Leaves skin feel clean, soft and radiant.

I first purchased this after having a facial one day and asked them what that yum smell was. It was the Dermalogica precleanse oil! So I bought it and loved it. It lasted a really long time and smells good. I love how oil cleansers work to melt off the makeup and then rinse away with water. I also tried the precleanse balm but preferred the oil

I was nervous putting an oily cleanser on my skin as I already have quite oily skin however this product is great, it smells very nice and leaves your skin feeling very smooth and does not make it feel like you are over cleansing your skin. The only issue with this is the price of this product is definitely on the higher side and there are perhaps other oil cleansers I would buy and try out that are cheaper before going back to this one; however if you want to treat yourself and get a really great product, I would recommend this.

Although this is a beautiful product, there are so many other pre cleansers on the market that are a lot more affordable. I will say it does get the job done though and it takes off the heaviest of makeup with a very small amount so it would be an investment if you're looking for a luxury makeup remover.
