smells lovely too!
I love the smell of this precleanser! It really does remove make up, though i found it stung if i used it on the eye, so i just used it on the rest of my face. I love how with a bit of water it became more foamy and felt like it really got deep into my skin. The actual bottle lasts for ages too. I think this would work well as a make up remover with any brand of skincare.

Give Skin A Double Cleansing, It's Worth It
Dermalogica PreCleanse 150ml comes boxed with a product leaflet.
The PreCleanse comes in a white plastic round container with a click up swing lid. The container top has a peel off seal.
PreCleanse is a plant based cleansing oil which is fortified with Olive and Kukui oils.
This strengthens the PreCleanse to melt layers of built up daily grime, oil, makeup and sunscreen to deep cleanse skin surface.
It is also formulated with Rice Bran to condition and vitamin E oils, gentle enough to be used around the eye area and ideal for oily skin conditions.
The PreCleanse solution is used prior to cleansing, it removes oil based debris from skin's surface which allows cleanser to penetrate further into skin, giving a thorough and efficient clean.
PreCleanse is applied using dry hands and massaged over dry face, neck and eye's. It dissolves surface oil and dirt, so areas of congestion should be massaged well.
It is a tinted translucent shade similar to apple juice and has a liquid form consistency. The texture is smooth, rich and oily, a bit like body massage oil. It feels nice and pliant when massaging skin at this stage of the PreCleanse routine, it does not feel heavy on skin.
The fragrance is crisp and refreshing, a tang of citrus and a light blend of Lavender.
The next step is to wet hands and continue to massage face as to create a light milky mix called an emulsion.
The milky emulsion feels quite watery and still massages well on skin. You can see the milky formula grey slightly when it breaks down oil and grime and then it's easily rinsed away from skin's surface with a lukewarm water rinse. A very light film is left on skin.
Surface oil and grime does not stand a chance with the use of Dermalogica PreCleanse.
Face and neck are now ready for cleanser and toner.
The boxed Dermalogica PreCleanse had a Daily Microfoliant sample sachet included.
I received the Dermalogica PreCleanse as part of the massive BH, BIB prize pack. Thank you Beauty Heaven.
24 month use by after opening tag.
Made in the U.S.A.

REMOVES ALL TRACES OF FACE MAKEUP!
I tend to reach for this product after an event or performance, it truly removes ALL my face makeup. As for my eye makeup it does not irritate my eyes at all i just prefer to use an eye makeup remover and avoid the black cloudy mess dripping over my face! I love the cleanser and unlike other cleansers once i wipe with toner my cotton pad is CLEAN! AMAZING!

Pre cleanse
I tried a sample of this and my first thought was that I wasn't expecting an oil cleanser, although I did follow through and read the instructions it did take away any excess makeup/dirt on my skin but left a slightly oily residue which for my skin doesn't work out to well, it's not for me.

Gets rid of 80% off my makeup!
I've never used a facial oil to remove my make-up before, I usually just wipe the majority off with a make-up wipe prior to cleansing or double cleansing so this was new for me.
At first the strong smell put me off and it did take some getting used to. I apply a small amount over my makeup/dry skin and work it all over my face, then I wet my hands and rub in circular motions which makes a light lather which you then rinse off. It surprised me how well it works at removing makeup, it just breaks it all down so that when I go in with my cleanser its actually cleaning my skin. It doesn't remove my waterproof makeup though.
Undecided if I will repurchase because of the price when MAC's Cleanse Off Oil is around $20 cheaper.

Suprisingly Nice!
Havent ever double cleansed, but tried a sample for dermalogicas pre cleanse & was really suprised!
It is meant for all skin types but especially oily. It works on the mantra that 'oil attracts oil' using a waterbased cleanser on oily skin just doesnt cut it. Imagine putting water on oil - they just run off each other. The oil breaksdown stubborn makeup (even my waterproof mascara), oi, impurities & sunscreen.
I massaged a little oil into my face, then dampened my hands & massaged over the oil & it turned into a creamy milk which i rinsed. My skin felt clean, non oily & refreshed.

Removes every last bit of stubborn makeup
I received a sample of this product and was at first a little skeptical of the "pre cleanse" concept. However this product really does dissolve all my makeup, even my stubborn waterproof eye makeup. You only have to use a tiny amount of this and I rub it all over my face and eyes. I can actually see my mascara (which doesn't come off easily with any other product) dissolve and come off onto my hands and cheeks. Since I use my normal cleanser after rinsing the pre cleanse off, there's not oily residue left over at all.
The small sample bottle I have has lasted me forever. Although I absolutely love this product, I hesitate to repurchase because of the price

Nothing special
I've never used a "precleanse" product before - I think its really just a fancy name for a makeup remover.
You get a fairly large bottle and it admittedly does seem like it will last me a long time. I squirt maybe a 10c sized amount of the oil (perhaps a tad more) and apply it to my face and eyes, before rinsing. Sometimes I am finding I might need a little extra on the eye area to dissolve my makeup. It didn't sting at all, and rinses off fairly well. It has a pleasant, delicate fragrance that reminds me a bit of walking into a salon. Perhaps salon brands all like to use these calming essential oil type scents.
Its a faily effective makeup remover, but to be honest I can't see the difference between this and a far cheaper brand of makeup remover. I don't think its that much better to justify the cost. I don't tend to use makeup remover on my face, just my eye area, unless I'm wearing a Colourstay type product, so I'm not a big user of makeup remover anyway.
I don't think I will repurchase. Its nice enough, but I think there is far better value out there. A specialised eyemakeup remover plus a decent cleanser is all I need.

B-in-B 2012
I think Dermalogica pretty much "invented" the double cleansing idea, including the oil cleanse first. If you haven't tried it, you should! I don't bother if I haven't had make up or sunscreen on, but if I have, I always double cleanse, using PreCleanse first. The idea is that the oil in PreCleanse attracts the oil in the products on your face (and the oil on your face, too) and dissolves it - or something like that:) All I know is that it removes my make up and cleans my face really thoroughly and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.
I don't love the packaging of this product and find I often dispense too much, which is annoying, because it's not cheap. Also, you must make sure that your face and hands are completely dry before you use it, otherwise it just doesn't work properly. All in all, my favourite oil cleanser.

Best In Beauty 2012
The Dermalogica Pre-cleanse has been a must have in my bathroom cupboard for years. It is affordable, effective, thouough, and lasts forever. I did say I would never buy it again, but I ended up buying a second bottle after my first one, and never stopped buying it (plus I wear more sunscreen and makeup now).
It comes in a 150ml bottle and is around 60 australian dollars- but don't let this fool you- this product will last forever! I am onto my fourth bottle and thats just in 3 years.
The bottle has flip lid and although I do wish it came in a pump bottle, it is easy to use and you just squirt the bottle using appoximately 20-50cent piece for your whole face. However, the positive about the flip top lid is that its dificult to overuse the product or waste alot of oil. The oil smells of lavender and orange, not overwhelming but you can definitely tell it is there (personally I like the calming smell of lavender).
The dermalogica pre-cleanse is exactly what it is, you use before any other product or cleanser and use on dry skin even if you have makeup/ sunscreen on. The oil based cleanser is very easy to use, massaging you 20-50cent piece into your dry skin for around a minute then rinsing off with warm water. On application the oil becomes a milky thin texture, and if you have makeup on you can see this falling off your face literally.
Due to the fact that I am prone to blackheads, whiteheads and I like to remove all my make up effectively, I love this product. This product removes makeup/sunscreen/eye makeup very effectively and is gentle on the eyes (does not irritate or make them go cloudy). It does not break me out or irritate my sensitive skin like other brands of oil cleansers. I tend to use this product more so when I am wearing heavy makeup or heavy sunscreen. This product really does remove all traces of surface area product so when you go to use your regular cleanser it is more effective and thouough. I think this product works great when you want a double cleanse/ remove all traces of surface product but I tend not to use this product when I dont have this on- suppose its more like a makeup removal product.
The thing about using this pre-cleanse is not only will it help your cleanser work more efficiently but because your face is so clean your moisturiser and serums will soak in better allowing for better skin. I never break out post makeup/ sunscreen with this product and my skin looks soft, smooth and moisturisered.
Total great gentle product that removes everything, and should be added to all beauty cupboards.

MY CLEANSER OBSESSION THE LOVE AFFAIR CONTINUES...
Here it is in black and white my deepest darkest secret,
I am obsessed with Cleanser, always have been, always will be.
It is my biggest weakness, it is the product I spend most of my beauty budget dollar on.
I have tried them all :the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I have had extremely oily skin since I was 13 and have always believed that cleanser is the most important part of my beauty regime.
I discovered Dermalogica PreCleanse a couple of years ago.
I have always had regular facials as I find them very relaxing and a great way to alleviate my stress levels.
My regular salon swapped to Dermalogia and my love affair with PreCleanse began.
I love Dermalogica`s packaging it is sleek, fresh and minimal,it looks more medicinal than cosmetic.
PreCleanse is packaged in plastic has a flip top lid with a dispenser that prevents wastage, perfect for the shower.
PreCleanse works wonders on my skin, I only use it when I wear foundation or BB Cream.
I apply a small amount to my palm and rub my hands over my face, the makeup just melts away.I then rinse with water.My skin feels fresh soft and clean I then continue with my usual skincare regime.
I only use PreCleanse when I need to remove cosmetics.

Another Great Dermalogica Product:)
Im yet to find a Dermalogica product that I DONT like and this is no exception.Before I used this product I honestly had no idea you were meant to pre cleanse(that in itself was worth the money!).This product has a very mild smell and a little is all that is needed to remove even the heaviest of make-up.Well worth the investment for those who wear heavy make-up quite often.You can feel how clean your skin is straight after using this.All the days make-up,grime and oil-GONE! If you ask me another cleanse with other products isnt even necessary!!
Definately one of the best products on the market.

Get rid of every last speck of makeup
This product is perfect for removing my thick and heavy foundation and waterproof mascara (stage makeup) that I wear after my stage performances. Before I discovered PreCleanse I would have to use about 3 face wipes to harshly scrub my face, cleanse my skin, and then I'd STILL find remaining makeup the next morning on my face! But ever since I started using this cleanser, it's all I need. I simple apply it to my dry skin, rub it around, add water, rub it around some more and then rinse. Then I follow my normal cleansing routine.
It removes even the hardest to remove, thick makeup, I am so pleased with it! I've got all the girls in my theatre group hooked on it! I find I get a lot less breakouts now because there is no makeup trapped in my pores anymore when I go to bed. I definitely recommend PreCleanse to everyone!

Glosscars Best in Beauty 2012 - Hassle free removal of makeup!
It has become known that double cleansing is a definite must, especially for those of us who wear makeup all day. Double cleansing makes sure your skin is squeaky clean and free from every speck of dirt and grime. Dermalogica's PreCleanse is a nourishing cleansing oil that removes even the most stubborn, hard to remove makeup in a splash.. including waterproof mascara!
PreCleanse comes in a bathroom appropriate plastic bottle with a flip top lid. You pour the oil out of a little nozzle, so it's difficult to overuse the product thus wastage is minimal. The bottle has a wide diameter and is sturdy, so it's practically impossible to knock over anyway!
To use PreCleanse, you simply massage a 10c piece sized drop of the oil directly onto dry skin using small circular motions before wetting your hands and massaging your face again, at which point the oil becomes a milky emulsion that rinses off easily. It's best to apply PreCleanse to a damp cotton pad before tackling eye makeup; although suitable for use around the eye area, like any oil it stings like absolute heck if it strays into your eyeball, so make sure to keep your eyes closed! Once you've used PreCleanse, you then follow up with your regular cleanser.
The oil based texture lifts up all traces of my makeup easily, leaving my skin clean and completely clear without any tight feeling. It is gentle, soothing and doesn't irritate my combination skin nor does it cause breakouts. It has a delightful scent to it as well, one of citrus and a slight hint of lavender. It's very invigorating to use.
All in all, when it comes to thoroughly removing dirt and makeup, precleansing is a necessity. And when it comes to good products for precleansing, Dermalogica's PreCleanse has got to be the best there is. After all, it's designed specifically for that purpose! With Vitamin E and nourishing oils, it's exceptionally good for your skin and will keep it hydrated and soft. I definitely recommend it!

Hard working
Never thought I'd like using a cleansing oil or realise how good they are at really deep cleaning your skin. I wear a lot of makeup and sun screen and Pre Cleanse gets every trace of it off my skin. My congestion is so much better now.

The best product!
My favourite Dermalogica product on the market.feels beautiful on the face, almost a creamy texture and gives you a thorough clean to wash away the days makeup and oils leaving you with a blank canvas so you can get the maximum results from your other Dermalogica products. No beauty regime is complete without Preclense. The only problem is there isn't enough in a bottle! We need bigger bottles please!!

I didn't know you were supposed to double cleanse..
This product is ideal for your initial PRE cleanse. Yes, for those of you whom didn't know everyone should be pre cleansing; removing make up and dirt and then cleansing as usual to get right down into the pores and clean thoroughly. This product cuts through make up like no other product i've ever used leaving my skin ready to be purified. I love the product and the brand - they don't use nasty fillers, they view skin care as health as opposed to beauty. I hope to expand my range soon.

a must for any collection
When I first heard about this, I thought what a money making scheme . We are all used to using cleansers to clean our skin, but now something to do before this step - what will they think of next!!! But when I wear make up (which is once in a blue moon these days), it definately cleans the skin thoroughly and is a lot less harsh on the skin than double cleansing with your dermalogica cleanser. It smells good too :)

Gets off all makeup; even waterproof!
I won this and I am so glad, as I love it!
I use this a few times a week, it really cleans deep and gets off all the makeup from the day; especially the waterproof mascara which I always have trouble removing.
Main things I like:
- Pleasant smell
- Easy dispenser
- Only need a little bit each use
One thing I noticed was that it had a funny smell when water was added to it, which isn't a big deal but worth mentioning.
As well, it does not foam very much at all.
Great addition to my collection, it has definately improved the condition of my skin. I feel as though there has been a noticeable change in the amount of blackheads on my nose, so basically there is little to none of them left.
Does a fantastic job and leaves you with a fresh, clean face!

Not bad, but watch your eyes!
I wear contacts and I don't always remember to take them out before I remove my make up and jump into the shower. This precleanse almost *always* makes its painful way into my eyes then I swear till I'm blue in the face as I put my oily contact lenses into the cleaning solution.

Skeptical at first
This product is packaged in a small plastic bottle that is quite sturdy. It is dispensed from a small flat nozzle from a flip top lid so you must physically tip the bottle. This process can become quite messy as the PreCleanse is a runny liquid oil consistency.
The oil/product itself is so wonderfully fragrant! Full of essential and skin nourishing oils. It feels lovely and relaxing, invigorating and uplifting to use this product whilst massaging it into the face.
I use this once a day as I only cleanse my face once daily and follow up with my Cetaphil cleanser and Lacura (Aldi) moisturiser. After only a few days of use my skin feels much more softer and appears more moisturised. It just does an amazing job at restoring moisturise to dry skin and has a great calming effect, especially after a night out or early in the morning before work.
I don't wear a lot of make up (no full face foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner, waterproof mascara, etc) so I didn't get the impression my skin is any cleaner than my old routine but if you use heavy make-up this could possibly give that effect to you!
While I won this as a prize from BH I doubt I will repurchase because of the price, it's simply out of my budget.

Who would believe this works on oily skin?
I am really oily and when a beauty therapist used this on me before starting my Dermalogica facial, I couldn't believe it. I expected in to be awful but was really surprised. I use this at night to help remove my mineral foundation, before using my normal cleanser which is the special cleansing gel. I got sample and after that was hooked!

My beauty therapist gave me a few samples of this. I wasn't keen to add another step to my night time beauty routine, but after I tried the product, I was sold!

LOVE this! It makes cleansing so much more effective and it smells and feels amazing!
I started using this when I got a little sample bottle. At first I just thought "great, another step to add to my routine" but after forcing myself to just give it a go I absolutely love it! It does such a great job breaking down all the things I slap on my face everyday and it also feels and smells absolutely gorgeous so it's a welcome addition to the routine.
It beaks down all of that junk so that my cleanser can do its thing. It is a little pricey as I guess it isnt a necessary part of a skincare regime but you only need a few drops and I 100% think it is worth the addition.

Worth every penny
I love this product!
I received a sample for this product with other Dermalogica products. I was a little wary of putting oil onto oily skin but after using the PreCleanse there is no way I can ever go back.
Although it seems expensive you only need to use a little bit of lotion. Apply it to dry skin and massage thoroughly over skin. It removes surface dirt so when you use your cleaner it is able to cleanse more effectively.
To top things off this is the best make up remover I have ever used. It removes mascara better than anything I have used before. No panda eyes the next morning from missed make up removal for me. And the fact it actually works makes me more devoted to removing my make up (and continuing on to my skin care routine) when I am too tired and can't be bothered.

Where have you been all my life?!
I discovered the cause of my breakouts were a result of me not taking my makeup off properly and going to the gym - when I sweat and because my pores were blocked, I would get very bad breakouts. I was previously using the Shu Uemeura Cleansing Oil (the yellow one) which didn't seem to clean all the makeup and impurities as well as the Dermalogica Pre-Cleanse.
It's an oil, which smells like lemon (very nice and refreshing) and all you do is rub it over your face (including your mascara and lippy). It immediately smears all of your make up before you add water to emulsify it. Keep rubbing it all over your face and remove it with water and the Dermalogica cleansing sponge. I generally find that one round of this gets rid of my everyday makeup, but in some cases I might need to do it again.
Leave my skin feeling fresh and free from makeup, ready for my cleanser to get in there and do it's job properly.
Forms part of my daily skin care routine which I cannot simply live without.

I really liked this product. I originally just used the special cleansing gel, which I love, but it wasn't quite enough. However, with the introduction of the precleanse I am now able to get rid of all makeup and dislodging the dirt in my pores before using the cleanser to do the job of washing it away and soothing my skin.

Best of the Best
I think this product is essential for everyone, regardless of which other skincare range you use, try this before your regular cleanser and be amazed!
I thought by double cleansing I was removing all traces of make-up, however after using this product, I felt cleaner than usual, it leaves you feeling like you have just had a facial.
I felt hesitant putting an oily emulsion on my face, but it really dissolves all traces of make-up with out leaving the skin feeling oily in anyway. I then follow up with my regular cleanser.
You really feel all traces of dirt and make-up dissolve, skin looks clearer and feels cleaner.

If I had the option of buying this product or buying a new dress, I would be there happily using my PreCleanse. I tend to wear long lasting make-up to survive my days and with full coverage ... this product makes it so easy to remove my day, even gel liner and mascara from my eyes. It's perfect to prep your skin before you use your cleanser suited for your skin type.

Super soft clean skin
I initially purchased this because my beautician used it and I loved the smell, however since using it at home I have found that it is fantastic at removing make up and makes your skin feel so soft and clean. I used it every night and it is like a mini facial before I go to sleep. I would recommend this to everyone as a luxury item that you may not need (you could double cleanse) but once you use it you will not want to give it up :)

I am in love.
I'm a fan of double cleansing and I've tried a few different oils, but I have a particular favourite and generally go back to it. However, after trying this one, I have a new favourite! It's a lightly scented (orange?) oil that you massage in to your face with dry hands, then splash with water to make it turn into a milky fluid, then rinse. It picks up every scrape of makeup on my face, including my eyes. This is what's really sold me on it - I like all in one removers, because I'm pretty lazy, but I've found a couple of other oils sting my eyes a bit.
I splash water on my face and massage it in a bit more, then remove with a face washer, before following up with a cream cleanser. My face feels clean and soft.
I will definitely buy this again - it's my new Holy Grail cleansing oil.

Pre Cleanse Before You Cleanse
I had never heard of a pre cleanse before I stumbled onto the Dermalogica brand and their precleanse. It is a very thin clear liquid similar looking to that of water. The scent just explodes on your senses. Its like cleansing your skin with aromatherapy oils. I am a big lover of aromatherapy oils so I find this precleanse very relaxing. Using it with your night time beauty regime is so beneficial in aiding to relax, calm and sleep due to the oil, fruit and flower extracts used in the precleanse ingredients.
I massage it on my skin with dry hands and the liquid becomes chalky white on your hands and face. Straight away I can feel my skin slough the dead skin cells away before I even rinse it away then I follow it with my favourite Dermalogica cleanser and microfoliant. The results leave my skin so baby soft, clean and taut.
I used to think when I first saw the precleanse that it wasn’t a necessary product that a cleanser does the necessary cleansing and would create extra work in my beauty routine but I have changed my opinion on that. You can also use this product to take off your make-up but I use wipes for that. I don’t use the precleanse everyday just on days when my skin feels extra dirty from doing housework as an eg. And the precleanse combined with a cleanser does give a more thorough cleansing.

Will be repurchasing
This was the first ever precleanse/cleansing oil I'd ever tried. My BT applied it to my skin and it felt amazing so I went a bought some immedietely and worked my way through the bottle. I decided to give some others a go after reading other great reviews, but have decided I will go back to PreCleanse because I prefer the consistency and the smell. It definitely does the job, even on IZ, and doesn't leave a residue like others do. And the smell is INCREDIBLE like with all Derma products. It also seems to erase all redness.

Removes makeup easily
I recently purchased this product, and while I haven't seen any noticible improvements in my skin condition (I use manily dermalogica products anyway), I find it effectively removes all makeup, including eye makeup (I'm too slack to use a separate eye makeup remover). I find when I don't use this, the Dermal Clay Cleanser isn't as effective at removing all traces of makeup from my face. I'd recommend precleanse for those hwo wear alot of makeup / sunscreen on their face.

Amazing Results!
I found any cleanser i used was more effective using the PreCleanse first. I could feel the difference on my skin after one wash!

PreCleanse
This is a must-have for me - it really is quite amazing how much cleaner my face feels when I use this first. I notice my skin doesn't feel anywhere near as nice on the days I don't use it! Just brilliant at getting all kinds of stubborn make-up and sunscreen off your face, letting your cleanser actually do it's job properly. Highly recommended!

Got to try it when I went to a spa where the beautician uses Dermalogica products. My skin never felt so clean and I love the smell!

Cleanse your skin BEFORE you cleanse your skin
Who knew you'd need to clean your skin before you clean your skin!? This cleanser is wonderful. Starts of with clear oil-like liquid, massage it on to the skin for awhile, then add only a small amount to water to face to transform it to a milky based solution for an even more luxurious wash! You'll feel cleaner already! I swear by this!

Not A Waste: A Necessity
I always thought that cleansing blemish prone skin with an oil was crazy stuff but the Precleanse really does get rid of grime and build up as well as sunk-in makeup. This first of two steps cleansing the skin really does make a huge difference.

Throughly Cleanser
I was sceptical about adding another product to my routine considering im time poor, but I was impressed. It really cleansers your skin and although it feels like an oil it gets rid of all the dirt and grime. Its great as a make up remover and takes off all makeup, lipstick and eye products without burning. It doesnt hurt your skin if you have sensitive skin. I wont buy it again though because I dont wear alot of makeup and products so it feels unnecessary. But if you do or need an extra cleanse it would be great.

Not for me
Unfortunately I think when they say "For all skin tones" this does not include mine :o( Personally I have skin that is a bit dry and sensitive and this product seemed to clean my skin a bit too well and stripped my skin of it's natural oils. After I used it I broke out so I stopped, but I gave it another chance and the same happened. I think for anyone with oilier skin, this would be great. It does such a great job of removing every trace of makeup but unfortunately was a bit harsh for me. However I'm finding that it is also great for cleaning my make-up brushes!!

Dermalogica Precleanse
I love this product. I don't know how I ever lived without it. I have to admit I dont use it every day. Definitely after a big night and about twice through the week before my cleanser. Dont get as many blemishes or oily t zone and pores aren't as blocked.

Awesome product!
I was skeptical about using oil to clean my oily skin, but after a trial at a Dermalogica demonstration evening I was convinced enough to buy a bottle. It is now one of my favourite products! It really cleans the day's make-up & grime from my skin and I find my other cleansing products work soooooo much better after using it. Big 2 thumbs up :-)

Fantastic Make-Up Removal
I have oily skin so I was skeptical about using oill as a cleanser. I was also worried bout over-cleansing but this oil is water soluable so it doesn't leave any residue. It removes make-up (even stubborn mascara) with ease and I found that my face felt fresh after using it and not dry like most cleansers.

MY TOP 5 BEAUTY MUST-HAVES!
This little beauty is constantly in my Top 5 Beauty Must-Haves! Why? Well, it thoroughly melts layers of excess sebum, sunscreen, waterproof make-up, environmental pollutants and residual skin products that build-up during the day. And that's just the start of it! It moisturises the skin which is always really smooth and soft. Yes, it is that good!!

Precleanse?
I bought dermalogica anti-bac cleanser and they gave me a free sample of precleanse. When i opened it I thought it would be one of those usual cleansers but its actually full of oil! It's pretty good for getting rid of make up etc. But the feeling of putting oil onto your skin it's just too much for me. Good for any skin types especially sensitive and oily sensitive.

MY NEW OBSESSION!
I was introduced to Dermalogica's PreCleanse just recently and I am in love with this product! Use this BEFORE your cleanser and it will attract and remove all traces of oil from the skin accumulated by your cosmetics, your skin and the environment, add water and it is gone. My skin is already so much cleaner after using PreCleanse a few times and I will be recommending this to all of my friends! A+

Essential!
I think this product is essential for everyone, regardless of which other skincare range you use.
I thought by double cleansing I was removing all traces of make-up, after using this product, I felt cleaner than usual, it leaves you feeling like you have just had a facial.
I felt hesitant putting an oily emulsion on my face, but it really dissolves all traces of make-up with out leaving the skin feeling oily in anyway.

Non-drying cleanser
It has such a good feeling when placed on my skin, and is so good at cleaning my skin without drying it or being abrasive! After using this for a year now, I will not swich to anything else. Great for getting make-up off. Highly recommend it for people with sensitive skin.

Pre Cleanse
Whilst i was not a believer of pre cleansers, after trying this at a salon, am a fan for life.
It rids the skin of all the sunscreens we know wear, and easily.
Leaves skin feeling great.

Have a little wax left behind on your skin after your session? A few drops of PreCleanse will cut right through that left-over wax for easy, painless removal.

Fabulous Oil Cleanser
I work for Dermalogica and am lucky enough to have all the products in my bathroom cupboards, but PreCleanse is one of my absolute favourites. I use this as my first cleanse, particularly at night when I need to remove make-up, and it effectively takes off all lipstick and mascara, without having to scrub and isn't drying to my skin.
My skin can also get an oily shine throughout the day - this helps to balance my skin, without making it any oilier or making me breakout.
