Dermalogica Special Cleansing gel

I originally used this product and didn't like it and started trialling other cleansers. Then received a sample of this product which I put off using until I took it in my hospital bag as a cleanser when I had a baby and loved it!! Soft cleansing and doesn't strip natural oils. Have purchased full size product.

This cleanser is gentle and cleanses without stripping the face of natural oils - it cleanses without leaving your face dry with tightened skin. I usually use the cleanser after I have removed my makeup with cotton wool pads + micellar water, but if I am short on time, washing my face twice with this cleanser has also done the trick in removing my makeup. It doesn’t have a smell and it foams well enough.

I enjoyed using this cleansing gel, very gentle to use. My skin felt clean and not tight. No scent as well.

I had high hopes for this cleanser, and was a bit disappointed, my skin got really red and angry after using it a couple of times. I found it hard to feed moisture back it and my skin seemed to have peeling patches due to being over dry.

I switched to Special Cleansing gel after I found my skin was getting too dry with the age-smart cleanser.

This product has bang for buck - very very little is needed, and it foams up so easily. Your skin feels really clean and fresh afterwards.

I use literally a smudge of product, and really lather up my skin, and then a good rinse. It's not drying, and it really cleans your skin. It's a good all-rounder as far as cleansers go. Even the husband uses this product!

I've been currently loving and using the Dermalogica special gel for 3 months now, throughout the years a number of ladies have highly recommended the Dermalogica skin care range but with everything else on my must try list it took me that long to use this baby. I have normal to combination skin and this cleanser works beautifully.

The clean sleek white packaging is very simple. The contents is gold for my skin. I use this in the morning when I shower, and at night time if Im wearing makeup on that day.

I wet my face with warm water then squeeze about a 10 cent coin worth of gel onto my fingertips, using the tips of my fingers I rub this in circular motions all over my face and neck, once I've done this for a minute or so I wash it off with warm water. The water just glides off my skin, it feels and looks smooth. I normally go in after this with the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.

After cleansing my face I always see a noticeable difference in my skin, my face is more plump, more awake and very smooth. The tops of my cheeks used to have small pores but after using this for the past few months they have shrinked tremendously. I like this cleanser so much because it doesn't smell harsh and it cleans my skin very well without drying it out afterwards.

Since using this product my mother has also purchased this and is loving it as much as me. I highly recommend this product.

I love the product, I use this in my daily morning routine, Ive found using it sparingly does make that small difference. I found it too make my face feel refreshed and is quite nourishing when applying, it has quite a gentle sensation thats great for my sensitive skin. I love the faint scent it does have, I find this scent to still be on my skin throughout the day.

I used this after the pre-cleanse and it seemed pretty heavy duty as in, I felt the chemicals really clean my face up BUT my face got quite sensitive afterwards which doesn't happen a lot these days. Fortunately the Dermalogica specialist sold me a spray for that but I'm dubious about this product.

I got this cleanser in a sample pack from Dermalogica and have used it off and on for a while now but can't seem to make a long-term commitment.

The packaging is ok. I feel that for the price you pay it could be so much better though. The bottle is white plastic (I'd prefer clear so you know how much product is left) and the words have pretty much worn completely off the bottle to the point that you can't even read it anymore.

The formula is nice. It goes on nice and silky, and a little goes a LONG way. I do find it strange that they say to cleanse with it twice, I'd have assumed that a good cleanser would work with one pass over the skin but I dutifully do as I'm told anyway.

My skin does feel nice and soft after using it, but this is about as far as the benefits go. I haven't noticed any reduction in pore size, oil production, acne etc. It simply just gently cleanses my skin.

I'd purchase this again but only in a sample size. It lasts forever anyway and that way I don't feel like I'm overspending on a product that doesn't do a huge amount.
