Best ever !

I’ve been using this cleanser for over 30 years. I have normal to dry sensitive skin and this cleanser is fantastic. I only need about a dime amount for my face so it lasts many months. It lathers very nicely and then rinses clean without leaving any residue. I highly recommend this product!

Great Product

I’ve really been enjoying the Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel! It has a gentle, refreshing feel and leaves my skin feeling clean without that overly dry or tight feeling afterward. A little goes a long way, and it creates a nice lather while washing away dirt, oil, and everyday buildup. My skin feels soft and refreshed after using it. Overall, it’s a great everyday cleanser and definitely one I would recommend if you’re looking for something gentle yet effective!

Dermatologica Special Cleansing Gel

This is the best soap for the face. Never drying, perfectly lathers and leaves face beautifully clean. I would not use anything else to clean my face.

Great for sensitive skin!!

This was my first time purchasing anything of this brand, and I would say I have FAIRLY sensitive skin. It's a great product for those riding the "kind of sensitive" skin type. It's not harsh, doesn't leave your face feeling dry, tight, or like it's not clean. My skin always feels so refreshed after using it, I also pair it with the pre-cleanse wash

Disappointed

Had high hopes for this cleanser, given its positive reviews, however I am disappointed by its poor performance — it does not work well in removing makeup, even washable (non-waterproof) mascara. The worst part is the scent. It has a petroleum odor that intensifies as it lathers and the odor even lingers after rinsing and drying my face. I am wondering if I received a defective product?

New Favorite

I normally use the Dermalogica Microfoliant but decided to try this product for in between cleansing. The gel lathers up nicely with no scent and does a wonderful job of cleansing the skin and rinsing cleanly. This will be my new go-to product.

Cleaning gel

This product is good. It doesn’t strip my face, however I do have to wash my face multiple times to rid it of the makeup. I most likely will try the cleansing oil next.

Gentle but effective

I have been using this cleanser for years. I love how gentle it is, but yet effective. It removes all traces of makeup. A little goes a long way, so the larger size bottle is the way to go!

Great Cleanser !

As I age my skin has become more sensitive and prone to eczema while still dealing with cystic acne. I had a sample of this and tried when I needed a gentle cleanser to use before my prescription topical medicine. I loved the cleanser so much I purchased the large size. It is very gentle and does not dry out my skin but does get it clean. I have used Dermalogica for decades.

Special Cleansing Gel

I use this cleansing gel for times when I have been wearing more cosmetics or have been sweating more and my skin feels clogged. Working in the yard or wearing a mask longer than usual, times when I feel as if my skin has been more 'exposed' to varying elements. It is gentle, but very thorough in removing stubborn eye makeup. After rinsing completely my skin feels like new again.

Clean without stripping

I love this cleanser, it cleans well without stripping the skin. There is the light scented which I like. The only downside is press cap is very hard to press to open, wish they design better more consumer friendly.

No burn!

This won’t burn your eyes if you get them on or near them. Obviously it may be uncomfortable if you dump it directly in your eye but with normal use it is so gentle and nice. I just love how my skin doesn’t feel too tight when I’m done washing it, and there is no scent, which is great!

Simply Clean

I have used this cleanser for over 12 years. It cleans the skin well, removing makeup too, but doesn't dry out the skin. It is part of my daily skin care regimen and is a proven winner for me.

Dermalogica special cleansing gel

I absolutely love this cleanser. It cleans without stripping or drying the skin. Every trace of makeup is removed, even eye makeup. I use it every night for approximately one month without any adverse reaction

Wonderful Cleanser

This cleanser easily removes my face makeup leaving my skin clean and soft. I recently ordered this cleanser for the 3rd time, this time purchasing the large size. Highly recommend.
