No More Ashamed Pores
Let me tell you about my love life. Over the past decade or so, I haven't found been able to find love anywhere within the cleansing department. The cleansers on the shelves at my nearest department store routinely broke my heart. Didn't live up to my expectations. Contained fragrances, colors, bead...

Sad about the change.
I have been using this cleanser for over 13 years. It's the one skincare product I have never had to consider changing - no matter what was going on with my complexion, Special Cleansing Gel worked.

Pricy but lasts
I am 35, Asian, and have combination skin. I strictly use Dermalogica skincare for all my needs (pre-cleanse, toner, cleaner, exfoliant, vitamin-c, retinol, and moisturizer). I have seen vast improvements in my skin after switching from drugstore back to Dermalogica. I tried drugstore for a while but find this brand worth the investment. Everything goes a long way. The last time I bought cleanser was 5/30/24. I am ALMOST out of cleanser as of 3/18/25. I still have quite a bit left and am convinced I can at least make it to mid-April before refilling. I use the TINIEST drop when cleansing and it gets my face, neck, and chest. Cant recommend this brand enough. Your skin is worth the investment!!

Nice and fresh.
I absolutely love Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel! It has done wonders for my skin. After using it, my skin feels incredibly smooth and refreshed, and the scent is just perfect—light and fresh without being overpowering. What I really appreciate is how thoroughly it cleanses without causing any irritation. My skin feels clean, balanced, and never tight or dry. It's become an essential part of my daily skincare routine, and I highly recommend it!
