The First Step to Truly Clean Skin.

Dermalogica PreCleanse is the professional-grade cleansing oil that removes what your regular cleanser can't — makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and environmental pollutants that accumulate on skin throughout the day. Used as the first step in a double-cleanse routine, it dissolves oil-based impurities on contact, preparing skin for a deeper, more effective cleanse with your second cleanser. The result is skin that is genuinely clean, not just surface-clean — allowing your serums, treatments, and moisturizers to absorb more effectively and perform at their best. The 30ml travel size is TSA-compliant and perfect for maintaining your skincare routine on the go.

Key Benefits

  • Dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and oil-based impurities that regular cleansers leave behind
  • Prepares skin for a deeper cleanse, maximizing the effectiveness of your second cleanser
  • Improves absorption of serums, treatments, and moisturizers applied after cleansing
  • Gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive skin
  • Travel-sized 30ml — TSA-compliant and ideal for travel, gym bags, and on-the-go use

How to Use

Apply to dry hands and massage onto dry face and neck using circular motions for 30–60 seconds, focusing on areas with heavy makeup or sunscreen. The oil will emulsify and lift impurities from the skin. Add a small amount of water to transform the oil into a milky emulsion, then rinse thoroughly. Follow immediately with your regular Dermalogica cleanser for a complete double-cleanse. For best results, use every evening as the first step in your nighttime skincare routine.
