Dermalogica Pre Cleanse Duo

Hi there !!!

Just thought I’d share my thoughts about this cleansing duo now that I’ve used long enough to feel comfortable in my feelings about them. As many of you know they are loved by many .

This review is about my feelings and personal experience with the products.

Product –  Dermalogica Pre Cleanse Balm

Price –  $57.50 aud

Recommended Use – A small amount massaged into dry skin using the included silicone mitt for mild exfoliation add water to emulsify then rinse.

How I Use –   A hefty dollop massaged into dry skin as a make up removing cleanse then emulsified with warm water and removed with a warm washcloth.

Smell – Very citrusy and lavender.

Texture –  Thick balm like consistency which melts easily into skin

Thoughts This definitely removed my makeup, does not rinse clean yet it is the first step in a double cleanse routine. Feels lovely on the skin and the included silicone mitt is a nice yet not necessary aid. For me the scent of lavender was too strong and I found it stung my eyes a little which is not a surprise, I just have a preference for makeup removers that don’t . Really happy I tried this as Ive been curious for a long time. If you are not sensitive to lavender or use a seperate eye makeup remover then I would definitely recommend . Lasted 3 months using 4 nights per week.

Repurchase . No , for the reasons stated above.

Recommended Use – Massage onto dry skin , focussing on areas of congestion . Add warm water to create a milky emulsion then rinse clean with warm water.

How I Use –  As a second cleanse on dry skin, massaging for a few minutes and then I remove with a warm washcloth.

Smell –  Lavender and Grapefruit.

Texture –  Nice thin oil that gives plenty of slip for massage.

Thoughts Again this is one where the smell just isn’t me and also stings my eyes although its recommended as great for removing eye makeup . Because I have this in my second cleanse category it just doesn’t stand up for me against the many other oil cleansers I have tried.

Repurchase No, If lavender and grapefruit are your cup of tea then go for it. It definitely removes makeup and is beautiful for massage.
