Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel

How to use Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel:

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel delivers optimal cleansing results through a simple, effective application method. Begin by moistening your hands, then dispense a small amount of the gel and gently lather it between your palms to activate the naturally-foaming formula. Apply the refreshing lather to your dampened face and neck using gentle, circular motions that lift impurities without aggressive scrubbing that can irritate skin. The soap-free formula creates a light, comfortable lather that thoroughly cleanses without stripping or disrupting your skin's natural moisture balance. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, ensuring all traces of cleanser and dissolved impurities are removed. This lightweight, mild formulation proves gentle enough for daily use—morning and evening—making Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel an ideal foundational cleanser for consistent skin health. Available in three convenient sizes, the 50ml bottle provides approximately 40 uses perfect for travel, while the 250ml offers 200 uses for regular home use, and the 500ml delivers 400 applications for maximum value.

Features & Benefits:

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel has earned its status as an iconic cleanser through its ability to thoroughly cleanse all skin conditions without the harsh effects associated with traditional soap-based cleansers. This innovative soap-free, foaming gel effectively washes away impurities, environmental pollutants, excess sebum, and makeup without stripping skin or causing the tight, dry feeling that signals compromised moisture balance. The naturally-foaming Quillaja Saponaria extract provides gentle yet effective cleansing action, creating a refreshing lather that rinses away toxins and debris to leave skin feeling smooth, clean, and perfectly prepared for subsequent treatment products. Unlike aggressive cleansers that disrupt the skin barrier and trigger compensatory oil production, Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel maintains optimal pH balance while respecting skin's natural protective mechanisms. Calming Balm Mint (Melissa Officinalis) and Lavender extracts provide soothing benefits that help purify and calm skin during the cleansing process, making this formula suitable even for those with slight sensitivity concerns. The result is thoroughly cleansed skin that feels refreshed and balanced rather than stripped or irritated. This cruelty-free, certified vegan formula contains no artificial colors or fragrances, and arrives in FSC certified packaging that is 90% recyclable or biodegradable.

Key Ingredients:

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel features a sophisticated blend of gentle surfactants and calming botanicals that cleanse without compromise. Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract serves as the star naturally-foaming ingredient, derived from the Soap Bark tree, providing effective cleansing action without synthetic detergents. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate and Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate are mild, soap-free surfactants that create the refreshing lather while being significantly gentler than traditional sulfates like SLS. Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil offers natural antimicrobial properties alongside its renowned calming and soothing benefits for stressed skin. Melissa Officinalis (Balm Mint) Leaf Extract provides additional calming effects while helping to purify and refresh skin. Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil and Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil contribute natural astringent properties and an uplifting aroma without artificial fragrance. Glycerin maintains hydration during cleansing, preventing the moisture loss that often accompanies face washing. The carefully balanced surfactant system in Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel ensures thorough cleansing while preserving the skin's critical moisture barrier and natural pH balance.
