I have microbladed eyebrows. Is this cleanser safe to use on them? Is this the most gentle dermalogica cleanser? Thanks!

I LOVE Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel!
I love this product! It's my favorite cleanser, a little bit goes a long way and makes my skin feel clean and refreshed.
bad product
made my skin break out instantly
Love!
I found this brand and I will never use another. I use this gentle face wash in the shower in addition to the micro exfoliant at night. My skin looks radiant after and its so soft. Definitely has helped with my break-outs as well.
Huge difference!
I've gone through a plethora of different cleansers for oily, acne-prone skin and this one's the best! My skin is more balanced with rare breakouts. Very gentle and doesnt dry me out.
Great for sensitive skin

I have pretty sensitive skin and hormonal acne. This cleanser has worked great for me. My skin had no bad reactions to it at all. It smells clean and fresh. It leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth. I have been using it for around 3 months now and got my second bottle
