by Dermalogica
Updated October 6, 2026
Cleansing oil first step for makeup and congested pores; combo-skin friendly.
What the community says
An oil-first cleanser for PM double cleansing, especially when makeup or sunscreen is hanging on. Combination skin seems happiest; it’s pricey and the essential-oil blend can be a dealbreaker for reactive faces.
