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.

Add water to transform this hydrophilic (water-loving) formula into a milky emulsion that easily rinses debris from the skin's surface, allowing your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser to penetrate even further for professional cleansing results.

Average product for a big price tag
Tips: Use a cotton wool pad when applying - may need to reapply to get full effect.

A great oil cleanser
This product worked super well to remove all of my makeup. I do find oil cleansers messy (not just this brand) so I would use this in the shower to remove my makeup to avoid having oil running down hands/arms. It does what it says it will do - it removes makeup really well! I typically only wear tinted sunscreen and concealer and eye makeup (so not super heavy makeup) and it did the job.

Effective but with a downside
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.
Tips: You need to follow it up with a cleanser, as it will leave residue and makeup on your face - it is meant to be the the first step before cleanser

Amazing!
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.

Take away the day!
This is the perfect makeup remover for evenings where you've been wearing a full face of makeup and have limited energy left at the end of the night. A simple and gentle massage will remove the toughest of mascaras. Follow with your favourite cleansers and you'll be ready to hit the pillow in no time.

Love a good oil cleanser!
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

Dermalogica Precleanse
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.

Dermalogica pre cleanse
This product is gorgeous! It smells divine and does what it says. I was skeptical at first, putting oily cleanser on my face, but it is just lovely, have been using it for two years!!
Tips: Put it onto dry skin and massage in, then add a couple of drops of water and massage again, rinse with a face cloth dipped in lots of lovely warm water!

The best makeup remover on the market. A very thin oil that you can use all over the face and eyes. Breaks down makeup really easily and don't irritate. It does have a slightly sweet fragrance, that personally doesn't bother me at all. Only downside is the big pricetag.
Tips: I use it in the shower and remove it with a soft face cloth
