Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel gentle-foaming face wash 8.4 fl oz — soap-free, non-drying

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a soap-free, gentle foaming cleanser that removes dirt and oil while preserving the skin’s natural moisture balance.

This lightweight gel creates a refreshing lather that cleanses without tightness or flaking. Formulated to suit a wide range of skin types, it clears away makeup residues, daily grime and excess oil while calming agents help reduce surface irritation. The product is mild enough for everyday use and intended for both women and men seeking an effective but non-drying daily wash.

How does this cleanser remove impurities without over-drying?

The formula avoids harsh soaps and instead relies on gentle surfactants that lift away dirt and oil while leaving the skin’s lipid barrier intact. Moisture-supporting ingredients help prevent the stripped sensation that can follow stronger cleansers.

• Soap-free gel base that foams to capture impurities
• Mild surfactants that clean without aggressive stripping
• Formulation supports the skin’s natural hydration levels

Will this soothe sensitive or reactive skin types?

Calming components in the formula are chosen to reduce surface irritation and soothe skin after cleansing. While it’s gentle, those with severe sensitivity should patch-test first or consult a professional if they have specific concerns.

• Soothing agents to reduce redness and tightness
• Non-irritating foam suitable for daily use
• Free of harsh soap that often exacerbates reactivity

How should I use it in my daily routine for best results?

Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage into a lather, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use morning and night as part of a basic routine, and follow with toner, serum, or moisturizer to lock in hydration.

• Use on damp skin to produce a light, refreshing lather
• Rinse completely and pat skin dry before applying treatments
• Compatible with serums and moisturizers for layered care
