Essential cleansing step

I purchased the Dermalogica precleanse after discovering that my beloved Shu Uemura cleansing oil contained a potentially pore-clogging ingredient. The price per ounce of this is about the same as Shu Uemura, but in my opinion this is better because it doesn't contain ingredients that rate high on the comedogenic scale. The packaging of this is better as well because it doesn't have any leaking ...read morelike the other does. Since this stuff is expensive, we can't afford for any of the product to go to waste! This has a light scent that I don't particularly like, but isn't offensive either. This is very effective at getting all of my makeup off and leaves my skin feeling quite soft. I follow this with a second cleanse using my Clarisonic and a creamy cleanser on most days. This won't irritate your eyes either. I think this is a great first step for anyone who wears makeup regularly and wants to thoroughly cleanse.

a lot like DHC deep cleansing oil

Pre Cleanse is a must have for any skin type. Dry, oily, acne, aging. You apply it to dry skin, and it melts away makeup,oil, debris and dead skin cells. Then you wet your hands and massage the water over the pre cleanse. You can then see it emulsify. Pre cleanse melts away the debris to allow your 2nd cleanser to really get into the pores and clean them out. After you rinse pre cleanse, follow wi...read moreth your 2nd cleanser. My face feels soft, smooth and really clean after pre cleanse. The price is a little steep, so I think this is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Clean, but...

I guess this would have had more impact if I wore heavy make-up, but I don't. It DID cleanse my oily T-Zone well, and would probably work great if You were outside alot and wore heavy sun-screen. But I don't know if I will continue to buy - seems kinda pricey to buy a cleanser AND a PRE-Cleanser!!!

Skeptical at First, But Like it!

So I didn't like the idea of having to do two cleansing steps. I'm lazy, I admit it, and it seemed weird to have to use two products to clean, but I have to admit I really liked this product and just how clean my skin felt after using their two-step system. This foams nicely and really feels like its getting in there and cleaning your skin well. I thought my skin was glowing after using this and another dermalogica cleanser. I like it!

Light oil

I love oils for skin care, so this was great for me. It cleans, soothes and doesn't dry. Can also work on its own, when you don't have too much makeup on.

Takes all make up and mascara and all eye make up right off, rinses off well, then I use dermal cleanser, highly recommend

You need this product!

This is sooo great for oily skin and makeup wearers as it binds with the surface oils and debris, and when you add water, it completely lifts it off the skin. Can be used over eyes and lips. Smells wonderful. When using this to remove waterproof foundation it will make a slight doughy consistency. Dont worry, it will completely rinse off with your regular cleanser.

Clean but not dry

Oil on your skin? This used to be a beauty no no, but Dermalogica have doine it again - a wonderful product. In the winter I suffer with dry and sensitive skin - this product cleans without stripping, my face felt soft afterwards. I use this on its own in the morning and prior to my other cleanser in the evning, it is so gentle but does remove all make up.

Good Stuff

So, I kept hearing good things about this product, and even though the last thing I needed was an extra step in my skincare regimen I decided to try it out. Lucky me! I was able to score a professional size bottle of this for about $30 online. Also, as it turns out, this product does make my skin feel cleaner. Minty cleansers feel mintier and my makeup just melts away with no problem. The best thing is that it doesn't cause breakouts. I'm sure I'll repurchase.
