Dermalogica Precleanse

Dermalogica is on the top of my list of most loved brands for skincare, as the products seem to work well for my sensitive, dry but sometimes combination skin.

I first used Dermalogica many many years ago, strayed to other brands but have now come back again to Dermalogica - and I'm so happy I have and my skin just feels the most moisturised and hydrated it has in a long time.

The packaging of this precleanse follows the iconic white/grey colours - stylish, sleek and simple. I really like the simplicity and modern look to their packaging.

A positive to me for this product and other Dermalogica ones is the fragrance free and lack of the nasty ingredients that can sometimes cause me reactions,

This precleanse is like an oil and I put a small amount onto my hand and spread it over my face. Adding a some water I massage this over my face and it changes to a different texture, quite milky in appearance. It takes off my makeup well, by dissolving it and is so gentle.

This is a really nice makeup remover and I follow it with another cleanser. The idea of double cleansing I totally agree with, as I want to ensure my face is totally clean and free of makeup.

A great product, that is a winner for me. It's gentle, feels lovely on my sensitive skin and is great quality.

I would definitely recommend this product and won't hesitate to repurchase.

This product is amazing! I use this as my first cleanse to remove all my make up. At first I was a little worried as its an oil and I have oily skin but I gave it ago and now I am obsessed. In no way does this precleanse leave my skin oily, it leaves it soft, hydrated and clean. I find as its an oil it removes my makeup so fast I dont need to run or scrub too much which leaves my skin happy.

precleanse is a must for makeup wearers just like two shampoos you should cleanse your face twice this is definitely a favourite!

I have to admit, that using this product was very different for me and not easily adopted because it's basically an additional (pre) step to your normal cleansing routine. However, it works like a charm. I found that the formula was a bit strange at first, somewhere between being very runny but somehow with an oily sort of feel and texture.

If you wear makeup regularly, you will love this because it will fast become the essential step in complete makeup removal.

I love it, and you can immediately see it working as your makeup melts away. I feel so much cleaner & my skin obviously loves it too - it's so gentle and there is no irritation or adverse reactions. Highly recommend!

I was a little confused by pre-cleanser at first and took a bit of convincing to try it but I am so glad I did! It is an oil that is designed to be used before your usual cleanser. You only need a small amount on dry skin, rub into your skin and then wet your fingertips and massage it into your skin. Wetting it turns the oil really gorgeous and creamy and then you simply rinse off and cleanse as usual. I started using this during summer so I really noticed the extra clean feel - with all the extra moisturisers and sunscreens etc we wear over the warmer months, this really cuts through all of that and leaves behind beautifully refreshed, cleansed skin.

The first time I go into David Jones and ended up at the Dermalogica stand because I've always been curious. After an analysis, I ended up with one of these to include as part of my daily cleansing routine. Fortunately most of the products recommended to me were available in travel sizes so I got to try these with less of a commitment if they didn't work out. The pre-cleanse is an oil that you apply to your face at the start of cleaning to dissolve the dirt and make up in preparation for cleaning. I wet my face first and then used a couple of drops and smeared it over my face and then you wash it off with warm water. I'm pretty happy about using this as the product does loosen up makeup which is always awesome at the end of the day. It's pretty good stuff.

I wasnt totally convinced in trying this product as i thought it looked abit basic for my liking. I felt it did a great job in getting rid of make up and purifying face before applying normal cleanser. Great product love to use from time to time.

I got a sample sachet of Dermalogica Precleanse, so I can't comment on full sized packaging. Precleanse is a deep-cleansing emulsifying oil that effectively removes excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, make-up and impurities from skin, including long-wear eyeliner pencil and 14hr long-wear lipstick. It claims to even remove waterproof mascara, but as I don't use waterproof mascara, I can't comment on whether it lives up to this promise or not. Applied just like any other oil cleanser (with dry hands, onto dry skin), this precleanse cleansing oil feels smooth and smells wonderful and it emulsifies into a light, milky consistency when a little water is added and massaged into the oil, before simply rinsing away.

Containing Apricot Kernel Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Tomato Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Lemon Extract, Grapefruit Peel Oil, Orange Oil, Lavender Oil and Mandarin Orange Peel Oil, it has a lovely, soothing citrusy-lavender scent. Unfortunately, it is not paraben free. It does contain Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben and Butylparaben.

Would I use it again? Probably not. Don't get me wrong, it's a great cleansing oil, I just wouldn't use it because I'm trying to move away from products containing parabens and this cleansing oil is also quite expensive compared to many others that I've tried. Would I recommend it? Yes. If it's possible for you to get your hands on a sample first, give it a go and see if you like it.
