Comments about Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel:
This product DID NOT work for me. I went into Ulta and talked to someone about my skin because I wanted a cleansing/moisturizing system that wouldn't make me break out. About 3 days after I started using this product my skin got super irritated and I had bumps everyone. My whole face (especially forehead) was like reading braille. They didn't become pimples- they just were disgusting bumps. About a week after I stopped using the product my skin finally went back to normal but I will never buy anything by this brand again.

Comments about Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel:
I was having a hard time finding the right facial cleanser. I had tried the Proactive system: it bleached all my towels and was really too strong. I had tried the drug store variety Clean & Clear type things: they were not strong enough. The Dermalogica system is a perfect balance of drying my skin in the right places and moisturizing in the right places. This giant pump bottle is great, it will last me forever and keep my skin clear for many months.
Pros
- Easy To Use
- Works Effectively
Cons
- Dries Out Skin
Best Uses
- Moderate Acne
Comments about Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel:
I got the trial size of this when my regular cleanser from the Adult Kit ran out. I liked it, but it wasn't the best cleanser for me. After a few days of using it, my face started to break out more an it just didn't have that clean feeling anymore. I'm sticking to another one.

- Easy To Use
- Fabulous Product

I have used many facial care products and I have finally found the product that works better than any other I have tried. Minimal amount needed and what amazing results.

Cons

Comments about Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel:
I use this product just as the directions state on the product.
I've seen a difference in my skin.
Although I enjoy this product, I wish that the price would be more reasonable. I feel like I can buy the same type of product at a more reasonable price.
