Rated 5 out of 5 by from My “go-to” facial cleanser ! I have been using Dermalogica both personally and professionally for 10 years now! It is such a great maintenance cleanser and gives great results. It’s a very light gel, foams up nicely with a couple drops of water , and spreads over face beautifully . Easy to use and no fragrance. It’s great for many skin types - I’m on the dryer side and I love that it doesn’t make feel even dryer after use. Pair this with one of Dermalogicas moisturizer for the best results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this stuff This is great for people who have oily or dry skin. I get random large pimples but dry and flaky everywhere else. This product strips off the dirt but not your natural oil so it doesn't make you dry out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The Perfect Neutral Cleanser! I have used various Dermalogica products off and on for years with Special Cleansing Gel remaining my favorite cleanser in the line. It is the perfect balance of lightweight, gentle, and moisturizing. I also love that a little bit goes a long way! I generally find I need an alternate product if I break out at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Cleanser My face is sensitive and oily. The Dermalogica Special Cleaning Gel helps to clean the oil on my face but still keep it moist. I don’t feel any bad reaction, but I feel my skin is brighter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for problematic adult acne Although I'm a cosmotologist, I bought the Dermalogica cleanser for my own problematic skin. Used with a soniclair brush, after two weeks I have nearly clear skin. This is pretty unbelievable for me, because my skin is very sensitive, but it is also highly prone to adult cystic acne. Basically, my skincare regimen can be disastrous with even the slightest change in cleaners, the wrong makeup, or too much sugar in my diet. I'm glad I read the other reviews and choose to purchase the Dermalogica in the longrun. I will be highly recommending it to my clients of all skintypes in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love!! I started switching over to dermalogica a few months back after suffering from adult acne. With each new product I add to my skincare routine my skin is getting better and better. I love this cleanser because it is gentle yet effective. I have really sensitive skin and I haven't had any issues with this product. I use it morning and night and a little goes a long way! Leaves my skin smooth and soft!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beat Cleanser I used to get really bad cystic acne until I started using this product. My skin was dull and I was embarrassed to ask what product could make my skin "glow." But this does it. It's a deep cleaner that doesn't dry your skin because it's water based. LOVE dermalogica products. They save my skin.
