I have to say that this is one of my favourite cleansers of all time. It has stood the test of time on the market and is a celebrity and skin therapist favourite. Launched decades ago as one of Dermalogica's founding products, it was a pioneering product that helped launch Dermalogica into the skin products spotlight. It's a classic, foaming cleanser that leaves behind zero residue and is gentle enough for twice a day cleansing. You really get that "clean-skin" sensation when using this product.
It's also great to use as an alternative to shaving gel at a pinch. I take it on holiday with me and it serves a great purpose as a 2-in-1 cleanser/shaving medium product that saves on luggage space.
from £39 for 250ml
Sizes: 50ml, 250ml, 500ml & 500ml Refill
Perfect cleanser for those with drier skin or who often feel dehydrated after using foaming cleansers. Rinses clean and doesn't leave any residue behind, unlike most other cream based cleansers. Gentle enough for twice daily use.
None. Although if you have extremely dry or dehydrated skin maybe Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Cleanser would be a better choice instead.

Limonene, Citral (Naturally occuring in essential oils) - Can cause skin sensitivity in those allergic to limonene or citral. (These allergens are included in a very tiny amounts in this cleanser. Only those with the most sensitive or reactive skin to fragrance would react to this product.)
I give it 5 stars. A lovely naturally foaming cleanser that is soap-free. Great for all skin types and can also be used as a shaving gel medium.
I have used this product myself (both personally and professionally) for nearly 20 years. It is really very gentle but also very effective at removing dirt and debris, without stripping away the skin’s natural hydration. Also great for shaving, I used this as a shaving gel for many years without any skin irritation from shaving. It has a lovely foaming action and doesn't have any noticeable fragrance. I use it twice per day to thoroughly cleanse my skin.
