precleanse
Deep-cleansing oil melts impurities and makeup from skin. Achieve ultra clean and healthy-looking skin with the Double Cleanse regimen that begins with PreCleanse. Thoroughly melt away layers of excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, waterproof makeup, environmental pollutants and residual products that build up on skin throughout the day with skin fortifying Borage Seed, Kukui and Apricot oils. Add water to transform this hydrophilic (water-loving) formula into a milky emulsion that easily rinses debris from the skin’s surface, allowing your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser to penetrate even further for professional cleansing results. Formulated with conditioning Rice Bran and Vitamin E oils, this gentle blend offers a deep cleansing ideal even for oily skin conditions.

- MUST HAVE!!PreCleanse is a must have to remove any make up. It never disappoints and leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated after using with my prescribed cleanser.
Smells so good too!7/04/2018 - Worth every pennyGentle and non-greasy, will be repurchasing again!24/03/2018
- BrilliantThis was a sample product that I received but never thought I would use. With a sensitive skin I assumed too much pre cleansing would be drying and rob my skin of oils. One day I ran out of my usual cleanser and this was at least something in my cubboard I could use to get my makeup off. It was SOOO GREAT. Really soothing - and got all my makeup off. My skin felt really dewey and clean and hydrated. Highly recommended.31/12/2017

- Perfect for me and my teenage daughterFantastic! I do outdoor sports and it melts away dust , sweat and sunscreen from a day out, no problem with my sensitive skin. My teenage daughter loves the way it melts off her makeup and seems a strangely good combination for her oily skin.31/08/2017
- AMAZING!!This is my everyday go to product for make up removal and for cleaning my make up brushes. I love the smell, I love how it makes my skin feel and even with my combination skin it works so well. The travel size is great too so I can always have it when I travel.4/08/2017
- Lovely productI am a huge fan of the double cleansing technique, and prefer to use an oil cleanser as the first step. Precleanse is brilliant in filling this role, removing all makeup and products containing SPF, while being easy to use, so that I can get the most out of the follow-up cleanse. I'll continue to use Precleanse.26/07/2017
- Love itOne of the best cleansers around. Melts away my makeup!24/07/2017
- 5*This little product initially I didn't think was a necessity and now I don't ever cleanse without pre-cleansing! From the toughest foundations to the layers of mascara the precleanse easily and gently removes every trace leaving the skin clear and ready to be cleansed. A quick, easy and essential step to add to your to your routine!23/07/2017
- Awesome product!I really love this cleanser. I use it before using the dermalogica cleanser for dry skin. This oil when mixed with water really cleans all make up from my skin. It's especially great at removing heavy make up like MAC etc. my skin feels so great after using this - it will definitely be a permanent item in my skincare routine :)9/07/2017
- Smells Divine!this has definitely become part of my routine...it's prepares my skin for the rest of my routine....and I totally love the smell!22/06/2017
- precleanse is a mustbest thing created for a thorough post makeup day cleanse. I used to find makeup remained after ordinary cleansing, now with precleanse it removes it all and preps the skin well for the night. Smells and feels great too. Sold on this product.16/06/2017
- Worth itFantastic for removing stubborn makeup. Cleared up a lot of congestion I had around the nose and forehead so I suppose my cleanser on its own wasn't cutting it. Highly recommend *****11/06/2017
- LOVE ITonly oil remover/cleanser that hasn't made me break out!!3/06/2017
- 5 out of 5Love this product, just replaced my old one! Just love the service online too, nice and quick, well done!7/05/2017
- Love itI usually have to double cleanse with my Clarisonic plus use Micellar water to remove all of my long wear makeup, but precleanse is amazing, melts everything away and doesn't strip my skin. I follow up with special cleansing gel and my skin feel so clean!4/04/2017
- Throw away your make up removerSince I have used this product I haven't had to use a make up remover before hand. Will be adding this product to my must have skin care range and can't believe I didn't use this PreCleanse earlier!22/03/2017
- Obsessed!Pre Cleanse is magic! It removes all traces of makeup without fail and leaves my skin feeling so soft. I personally can't live without it!14/02/2017
- Great productFantastic for removing makeup12/02/2017
- Best product!Best make up remover! From foundation to mascara. Even use it on days I haven't worn makeup. Love it!11/12/2016
- All time favourite cleanserThis is such an amazing product - how did we cleanse properly before PreCleanse?25/11/2016
- WonderfulThis product removes greasy congestion without the need for exfoliation to get that deep clean feeling.5/10/2016
- Counterintuitive, but but cleverAs I suffer from really congested, break-out-prone skin, it seemed really counterintuitive to put oil on it - but it gets off the toughest make-up, feels light and smells great. I have mini ones for at the gym and in my travel cosmetics mag so I'm never without it (and because a pump in a carry-on bag is just asking for trouble!). A little goes a long way, so a decent sized bottle lasts an eternity, and I don't think I could ever go back to a half-hearted single cleanse routine ever again!12/09/2016
- Amazing productIt cleans make up off really well, and smell great too!5/09/2016
- Great productI really enjoy this product. I was prescribed it for congestion and it actually does help! and its a bonus that it feels and smells delicious and makes your skin feel great23/07/2016
- LOVE ITI use PreCleanse all the time. Removes makeup very easily and then I follow with my normal Dermalogica cleanser. My skin always feel soft and clean.18/07/2016
- Essential start to cleansingMy skin has improved out of sight since doing a two step cleansing approach and using the PreCleanse for the fist step. Love the smell of it too!3/07/2016
- Can't For Without ItI have sensitive dry skin. I was put onto this a few years ago and since then with my daily dermalogica regime I have had wonderful skin.1/07/2016
- Love it!I've only just started using Pre-cleanse and I love it. Helps clean away any grime or traces of makeup and then I follow it with my normal cleanser.20/06/2016
- Favourite productThis is my favourite product to use. It's smells amazing, feels soothing and leaves your skin feeling super clean. 100% will be buying it again9/06/2016
- Love it!This is my absolute all time favourite cleanser!
It removes even my most stubborn makeup products like they're nothing!
I wear Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation and it doesn't stand a chance against PreCleanse!
I love how soft my skin feels after as well, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and gross like most cleansers do.
I think if I were given the choice of only one Dermalogica product to use for the rest of my life, it'd definitely be PreCleanse!
Love love love!!!27/05/2016 - Highly recommendedI love this product! I use long wear products and find just using a cleanser is not enough. Pre cleanse ensures I have removed all my makeup and then my cleanser can do its job properly!15/05/2016
- Best CleanserI love this product for that extra clean feeling - it really does make a difference using it before the 2nd cleanse.9/05/2016
- PrecleanseGreat product. Does what it says it does!24/03/2016
- I can't do without my PreCleanseNothing cleanses your skin better than this product. I've been using a balm lately and just couldn't wait to finish it so I could return to using PreCleanse. The solution effectively and quickly removes all traces of makeup - even stubborn mascara - and it leaves your skin feeling so smooth and clean ready for the next step of your cleansing process. I wouldn't be without it. The only thing that 'could' be better is if the travel size bottle was refillable like all other travel sizes!14/03/2016
- Pre CleanseThe pre cleanse followed by special cleansing gel has transformed my skin. A winning combination that's for sure!8/03/2016
- Wont be without it!The idea of a double cleanse system seemed a bit odd to me but now that I've tried it, I wont go back. It leaves my skin feeling so smooth and clean. I love it.26/02/2016
- Fantastic ProductAmazing product that takes off all my makeup and dirt from the day before using the cleanser. Leaves my skin feeling great and refreshed!14/02/2016
- Start to the dayFantastic product that starts my day. Love how it feels on my skin, using my special cleansing gel after and I have wonderfully clean skin. Also great to use to get my eye make up off and stubborn mascara! A must have product.10/01/2016
- My absolute favourite!Have been using the Precleanse for a few years now and it is brilliant! With old acne scars to hide, my make up can sometimes be quite heavy and cleansers alone don't shift it; Precleanse removes it quickly and easily, and is super gentle on my skin, especially around the eye area, love it! Especially love the new pump bottle which eliminates any leakage when travelling. Can't go wrong with this :)31/12/2015
- My New Favourite!I have a sensitive combination skin with a very oily T-Zone. I was recommended the PreCleanse in addition to the UltraCalming cleanser. This product provides a deep clean without aggravating my skin & my pores' overactive sebum production have noticeably calmed down. I could be dreaming but my pores are certainly less clogged & oily within the first two weeks of using it! :)30/12/2015
- Amazing productPrecleanse is a must have in my night time routine. It removes all makeup from the day and makes my skin feel clean and fresh before cleansing.25/12/2015
- Wouldn't be without itThis product is now an essential part of my skincare routine and I really notice the difference in how clean my face feels after using it. Precleanse easily removes all makeup and is a great way to get oils and dirt away before a proper facial cleanse. My skin has been so much smoother and clearer since using this product.21/12/2015
- Devine SmellI love the pre-cleanse for make up removal and it smells just devine!20/12/2015
- A must have!This is my third bottle of precleanse, it removes the make up as well as the waterproof mascara. Super awesome!30/11/2015
- Sooo GoodI didn't think I needed a pre-cleanser but gave if a go with the free sample that I received. It's so lovely and does a fantastic job of taking off make-up .I have sensitive skin that doesn't take much for it to get itchy and red so was a bit wary of what this might do, but is been great. Bought a bottle and not looking back - fabulous product. Try it, buy it.25/11/2015
- Favourite ProductSo thrilled with this product, beats everything I have tried before22/09/2015
- Amazing smellThe pre cleanse has the most amazing smell, and it just melts makeup away. I adore it12/09/2015
- Awesome - especially for waterproof mascaraI love Dermalogica's precleanse! I love it for removing my waterproof mascara - it's just fantastic. I highly recommend it.11/09/2015
- Best everI have gone back to using pre cleanse after using some other brands oil based cleanser...nothing is as good as this so glad I came back to it. And the smell is divine!6/09/2015
- Amazing productI now cannot live without this product. It removes all makeup so easily and makes my skin feel so much cleaner. You only need a small amount so it lasts for ages. Definitely recommend this product A++2/09/2015
- Five starsThis is one of the first oil cleansers I've tried, and I'm impressed. My skin can be dry and reactive to products. This is so gentle, yet effective. It dissolves makeup so well - such a great product.19/08/2015
- PreCleanseI thought this would be an unnecessary step but I was so wrong. Well worth the extra minute it takes to apply. Gets rid of all eye makeup and I find you need less cleanser too. Love this product!10/08/2015
- A must have!Love this product. Such a little bit does a big job5/08/2015
- The only oil cleanser doesn't cause breakoutThis is the only oil cleanser that doesn't cause breakout on my sensitive skin. I have been using this for two years now and just love it! I like how well it can clean all my make up and I can use it to clean my make up brushes and it works so well. The only thing I wish it can improve is the packaging size is too small and I run out one bottle In every two months if I use it once a day.22/07/2015
- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...A must have in your cleansing routine. I'm not normally one for adding steps to my 'beauty' regime but this product is amazing. Easy to use, smells delicious and removes my make up so my Skin Resurfacing Cleanser can then 'go to work!' Would definitely recommend.18/07/2015
- Excellent product!Like others I was a bit unsure about using oil on my face as a cleanser but it is really amazing and makes my skin feel so soft and clean and I'm satisfied that it's removed all traces of my make up before using my normal cleanser. I also think it smells great!1/07/2015
- 5 out of 5This has to be one of the best cleansing inventions ever! It removes all of my makeup so easily, leaving my skin feeling so great every time I use it. I don't know what I would do without this product!19/06/2015
- Amazing product but terrible packagingI love, love, love this cleanser. I thought it was a bit weird at first but once you're used to it...it's like your skin never felt clean before. I swear by it. However, I travel a lot and the packaging leaks. This product isn't cheap but at least half of the bottle has been wasted just by it leaking during car or air travel. If it isn't kept upright it leaks everywhere...not only wasting the product, but being an oil, ruining most things it touches. It makes a real mess. Such a shame!31/12/2014
- It really works!I was pretty sceptical before I tried PreCleanse (not wanting to put oil on my face when I suffer breakouts), but once I got over that misconception, it really is awesome. My face only really feels like its clean after I've used it now! It's gentle but manages to get rid of all the make up, dirt, oil etc from my face at the end of the day.30/10/2014
- Such a unique ideaI had never heard of a 'precleanse' solution, so when I was given a sample of this by my skin therapist, I was blown away. It lifts all your make up and is gentle around the eye area. A must have.5/03/2014
- A must have for anyoneI swear by this stuff and it smells divine. I have combination skin and use it both morning a night to give me an extra cleanse. I also use it to clean my brushes from time to time too. Another great product.17/01/2014
- DelishPreCleanse smells incredible, removes even waterproof make-up, and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. A little goes a long way. This is one of my desert-island must-have products - I've used it for years and it's tough to beat!15/01/2014
- Favourite product hands down!PreCleanse is awesome! Is quick and easy to use, which is great at night for those times when you just can't be bothered :) Removes makeup easily and skin feels great afterwards. And you don't need to use much of it so it lasts for ages!15/01/2014
- The bestPreCleanse is one of the best products around! Removes all traces of makeup, makes skin feel ultra-clean. I just love it!!24/12/2013
