Tested: Dermalogica PreCleanse

Dermalogica products have only one goal - to improve the skin. Dermalogica's various product lines feature ingredients that actively combat the existing problem while leaving skin feeling comfortable and protected from negative influences.

The home testers tested the PreCleanse, an oil cleanser that thoroughly cleanses the skin in a professional manner without damaging the skin barrier.

Juul: "Cleansing with fine texture and fragrance that leaves skin feeling very clean."

I used the product on my face and neck every night for a week. It is a soft, fresh, non-sticky gel that spreads easily on the skin. After application, I used wet fingers to apply the product again until the gel turns into a light white substance. After that, it is very easy to rinse off with lukewarm water. The scent is light and fresh. After rinsing, the skin feels clean and absolutely not dry, which I often experience with other cleansers that you combine with water. The product is easy to use, has no complicated instructions, and the small amount at a time is enough for your entire face.

Daniëlle:"Pleasant product which cleanses the skin well and does not dry it out. Definitely recommended as far as I am concerned."

I put the Dermologica - PreCleanse in my dry hands, and massaged it onto my dry skin. It felt incredibly pleasant to the touch. I focused mainly on my T-zone. With damp hands, I then massaged the product in further and then rinsed my face with lukewarm water. My skin felt comfortable and clean afterwards. No tightness afterwards. The scent was neutral, which I really liked. After a week of daily use, I felt that my skin felt significantly cleaner, without my drying out. It removes waterproof makeup residue and my daily UV filter well.

Puck: "It's a pleasant cleanser to wash your face with."

I've actually never heard of a precleanse before, so I was curious about what it was. After reading the instructions I went ahead and used it. I didn't expect it to feel like an oil, but it was nice. It also rubbed out easily on my face. It also had a pleasant scent. I had read that it had an olive coconut in it, but didn't expect it to have that scent as well. After I had already massaged it in lightly, I moistened my hands as well, and then I did notice that it started to become a bit milkier. I also washed it off my face again easily, and my face felt fine as well.

Functioning score 4/5

Everything felt good, and it was also nice that it was an oil.

Smell score 5/5

I liked the smell. It was really nutty. 

Texture score 4/5

It's oily, so it rubbed out easily. It also went off my face easily. Afterwards you wouldn't say that you had oil on your face. 

Price-quality score 3/5

Bit pricey, but it actually does what it says, so it is manageable.

Overall score 4/5

It was a fine PreCleanse before cleansing my face.

Positive points

  • The coconut scent.
  • Rubbed out easily on my face.
  • Texture is oily.
  • You can get it off easily.

Negative points

  • The price.

Karin: "Removes makeup very well. Absolutely recommended. Beautiful clean skin."

Used daily for skin cleansing. Very nice product and fine texture. No added fragrance which is nice. You do need to add enough water otherwise you get little foam and then it cleanses less.
