I had to write a review because I was shocked that this cleanser had such a low rating. First, yes, Dermalogica is expensive. (Although it doesn't have to be.) Second of all, I use their products based on what was recommended to me by Dermalogical facialists at their store, rather than picking whatever I like. This is not a harsh cleanser that will make your face sting. It's pleasant smelling and I actually do find it to be effective. Dermalogica actually recommends washing your face twice in a row with this product. I know that might sound like hogwash to get you to use more... but supposedly the first time gets stickier makeup off and the second time gets the remainder. I take the middle ground and use it three times a day-- once at morning, night, and after the gym. Why am I willing to pay way more for Dermalogica rather than going to the local CVS when I'm an incredibly poor graduate student?? After I switched to Dermalogica I started getting tons of compliments on my skin. I mean very frequently, as in people coming up to me and asking what my skincare regimen is.

I've been a devoute Dermalogica user for years and held a Dermalogica certification at one point. So I should have known better- although it says for all skin types, this really isn't the best if you have mostly oily skin. It feels great at first, but the lathery composition of the face wash strips the oils which results in a little oil overproduction. My skin had cleared up after using Dermal Clay for so long, I thought I was in the clear. But after about 3 weeks of using this, I started breaking out badly again. For normal skin types, this is an excellent, lightweight cleanser. But for oily or acne-prone skin, try Dermal Clay.

For years I had no real skin issues, but lately it seemed no matter what I tried, it wasn't working. Everything was irritating my face, I was breaking out more, and my skin was oilier. I happened upon Dermalogica while shopping for shampoo, lucky for me. I ordered this cleanser, and I loved it immediately. It's light, it smells great, my latest breakouts have clearing up without any spot treatments, and my skin feels great after cleaning, instead of dry or irritated. Recommended for anyone with sensitive skin or troublesome skin. It might seem costly, but a little goes a long way, and it's well worth it.

I wouldn't say that I have been obsessed, but maybe something close to but not necessarily obsession as far as skincare goes. So, I have tried a lot of different products along the way. Dermalogica special cleansing gel is hands down the best facial cleanser to date. Skincare 101...do not put any product on your face that contains perfume and soap free cleanser is best--this product meets both of those criteria. Your skin will be clean but not stripped. You will notice the difference the first time you use this product.

This cleanser deep-cleans (wash & rinse twice to remove make-up and cleanse skin) and manages to remove oil without drying out your skin.

This is a wonderful product. I've always had pretty good skin but someone gave me a bottle and since I started using the product I haven't had more than one or 2 zits in 5 years. My husband has breakouts on his back, now that he's using it his back has totally cleared up.

It doesn't take a lot. Just a dime sized amount will wash your face and neck. It really cleans out and opens up your pores while not stripping off your natural oils. Worth every penny.

You can buy it in 3 sizes. I would suggest getting it in the biggest/best priced size you can find.

I have tried pretty much everything out there. Anything you can buy in the grocery store, mail order products like proactive etc. I picked up a bottle of this at a spa b/c it is what they used at their business for a facial. It works great. I have super sensitive skin and although some other products were ok, I was alway blotchy and have a hard time with adult acne. I have mixed skin and it can never decide if it is dry or oily. This WORKS! It is very gentle on my skin and I don't need to put any cream or moisturizer on afterwards.

I have super sensitive normal to dry skin with red blotchy patches on my cheeks all year round (not sure what it is from but in Winter my skin gets very red with eczema). I thought I had just about tried every cleanser recommended with no big relief. Someone suggested this brand of cleanser & of course I "thought" another over priced cleanser that is going to dry my skin out, WOW what a super pleasant surprise! First off it's quite concentrated so you don't need much (bonus there!) & after washing my face (& I REALLY mean this) for the absolute 1st time my skin felt clean, refreshed, & not all tight & dry as usual! This cleanser is liquid gold to my skin! I love it & would recommend it to anybody. If you think it's maybe to expensive do a search & see if you can find a free sample as I did first but I am certainly ordering a bottle of this! I just can't say anything bad about it & I do speak my mind! Highly recommended:)

Been using this for the past years.. am pretty satisfied with it, suits me as an Asian

This is a clear face wash that I enjoy using. It gently cleans the face without stripping the skin. I would have rated this product a 5 but it contains parabens.
