Deep-cleansing oil melts impurities and make-up from skin.

Achieve ultra clean and healthy skin with the Double Cleanse regimen that begins with PreCleanse.

Thoroughly melt away layers of excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, waterproof make-up, environmental pollutants and residual products that build-up on skin throughout the day with skin fortifying Olive, Kukui and Apricot oils.

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.

Formulated with conditioning Rice Bran and Vitamin E oils, this gentle blend can be used around the eye area to even remove waterproof mascara. Offers a deep cleansing ideal for even the most oily skin conditions. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors

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.

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

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.

Average product for a big price tag

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.

Tips: Use a cotton wool pad when applying - may need to reapply to get full effect.

Holy grail

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

A Must Have!

I have used Pre-Cleanse for a few years and am now working in a salon that sells it which is a bonus for me! It is a must have for girls who wear make up every day as it is so easy to remove and even dissolves eye make up. It is particualrly great for oily skin but you can use on any skin and it won't dry it out or add oil too it. I love this!

Tips: You must apply this with dry hands and circle over face then emulsify with water so it turns milky and rinse off.

Want to remove your makeup with ease?

This product is the BOMB at removing all of my makeup. It doesn't sting my eyes or irritate my skin! It is so good. Its an oil consistency, you rub onto your face to break up the makeup, then wet your hands and dampen your face to turn it into a milky consistency that will remove every last bit of your makeup. Just make sure to cleanse afterwards (:

Tips: Remember, Oil withdraws oil. Just because you're oily, doesn't mean you can't use this!

Dermalogica Precleanse

Dermalogica precleanse is a super effective, easy to use make up remover. All I needed to do was poor a small amount of the oily product on to my finger tips, rub it into my face then rinse my finger tips under warm water and rub in to my face again. It will form milky coloured oil. Once my make up had been removed, I rinsed the product off with a wet face cloth.

Precleanse is an expensive product, but I believe it is worth the money. I have sensitive, oily, pimple-prone skin and I found it did not cause me to break out. I struggle to find products that do not break my skin out.

Precleanse only needs to be used when you're wearing make-up, and I don't wear make up everyday, so therefore the product lasts me a long time.

I would definitely recommend this product to others, but if you are using something that currently is working well for you it probably isn't worth spending over $80 on a make up remover

Tips: ensure that you use it with water

Nice product but expensive.

I have tried this, both as a product and part of facial. To say that it is effective is an understatement. For the facial I came in not wearing makeup and when the therapist removed it there must have been makeup in my pores from the day before....shame! It's easy to use and does melt of the makeup with a bit of a massage in. I find this step before another cleanser helps remove all the makeup I wear (which can be a lot on some days). I think it does help keep some of my spots at bay as I am doing a better job of removing more makeup at the end of the day.

However, the only thing I'm not fussed on is the price. I've never been able to afford a large bottle, but the travel size is good.

Tips: Use a small amount in the palm, as it's quite liquid. Use with dry hands and facial skin for best results.

If you're not sure you should be able to get a sample or try the travel size as it's less commitment than a full size.

Ready to repurchase

Recently I decided that I wanted to try a new skincare range. My previous uber expensive range wasn't doing anything for me, so once finished I was ready for something new. I decided to go with Dermalogica due to it's great reviews, and also the ability to purchase things in smaller sizes to test before really stretching the purse strings for the bigger sizes.

I purchased this in the smaller size, almost a travel size really. It comes in a plastic white container, with a twist lid. What annoys me about all the Dermalogica packaging is the inability to see how much is left. There is nothing worse than running out of a product with nothing to replace it (first world problems here).

The product itself comes out as a clear oil. Once rubbed in your hands with a little water it becomes slightly milky. I then put this on my face and all my makeup comes off. In the past with oil cleansers I haven't liked the residue that it left on my skin but I feel like this is so light that it doesn't do this. It takes my makeup off effectively but doesn't leave my skin stripped like other cleansers.

I'm off to repurchase this as I think it is fab. Would recommend.
