Dermalogica Precleanse Oil Cleanser Travel Size 1 fl oz — Makeup Remover, Double-Cleanse Non-Comedogenic

Dermalogica Precleanse is a lightweight oil-based makeup remover that dissolves sunscreen, waterproof makeup, excess sebum, and environmental grime to prepare skin for a deeper cleanse.

This 1 fl oz travel-size Precleanse brings Dermalogica's professional double-cleanse step into your everyday routine. Formulated to lift surface oils and impurities without clogging pores, it acts as the first stage of a two-step cleansing system so your regular face cleanser can penetrate and work more effectively. The gentle emollient texture transforms on massaging, melting layers of makeup, sunscreen, and city pollutants into a residue you can rinse away easily.

How does Precleanse remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

Precleanse is an oil-based formulation designed to dissolve oil-soluble substances that water alone can't break down. When massaged into dry skin, the formula loosens waterproof mascara, long-wear foundation, and SPF, turning residues into tiny particles that rinse away without heavy scrubbing.

• Dissolves oil-based cosmetics and water-resistant sunscreens
• Massages away surface sebum and environmental pollutants
• Transforms to an emulsion for easy rinsing, leaving no greasy film

Will an oil cleanser clog my pores or worsen oily/acne-prone skin?

Dermalogica's Precleanse is formulated to be non-comedogenic and suitable for a wide range of skin types, including oily and acne-prone complexions. Used as the first step in a double-cleanse, it removes excess surface oil so your follow-up cleanser can clean deeper without over-stripping.

• Non-pore-clogging base that lifts—not buries—impurities
• Minimizes the need for harsh scrubbing that can irritate skin
• Prepares skin for targeted treatments and cleansers afterward

How do I use the 1 fl oz travel Precleanse for best results?

Apply a small amount to dry hands and massage over dry face and eyes to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, then add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly. Follow immediately with your regular Dermalogica cleanser to complete the double-cleanse and ensure all residue is removed.

• Use 1–2 pumps on dry skin, concentrating on eye and T‑zone areas
• Add water to emulsify into a milky texture before rinsing
• Follow with your preferred Dermalogica cleanser for a deeper clean

What are the practical benefits of the travel-size bottle?

The 1 fl oz format is compact and TSA-friendly, ideal for testing the product or taking on short trips. It lets you maintain your cleansing routine while traveling and provides enough product to evaluate compatibility with your skin without committing to a full-size bottle.

• Airline-compliant volume fits carry-on regulations
• Perfect for trialing the product before purchasing larger sizes
• Easy to toss in a gym bag or weekend bag for consistent skincare

Who is this for: Dermalogica Precleanse travel-size is suited for anyone who wears makeup or daily sunscreen, commuters and city-dwellers exposed to environmental pollutants, people with oily or combination skin who want a gentle first cleanse, and travelers seeking a compact, effective cleansing step to use before their normal face wash. It’s a practical starter for newcomers to double-cleansing and a convenient carry option for loyal Dermalogica users.
