## Description

From the brand Cleanser Exfoliant Serums & Facial Oils Moisturiser Sun Protection Clear Start

Review: Good product - I love using this cleanser make skin feel really good and moisturising. It is a quite expensive. But does last long. I do love the quality as it's oil based.
Review: This has improved my acne - I have had acne since the age of 12 and I am now 41. This is caused by refined sugar and I have quite a sweet tooth. In recent years I noticed that even when I went through phases of cutting out sugar I would still have acne (in the past cutting out sugar would give me completely clear skin) which may be due now to having pre-diabetes which means that there is too much sugar in my system, even without the addition of chocolate. My acne has been improved hugely by drinking 1.5 litres of water a day. I use stayfast/'bulletproof' foundation because of my acne and if a ran a cotton wool pad over my skin after cleansing would find some traces of makeup, but I didn't think too much of it, after all I had cleansed as directed. The cleanser/s I use are multi award-winning and the best-of-the-best (Liz Earle and Elemis to name a couple of them) but it goes to show that, despite all their hype, these cleansers will not remove stayfast makeup on the first pass. A double-cleanse with these cleansers can be very expensive. Since using Precleanse I have noticed a significant improvement in my skin yet again and my acne is much reduced. The pores of my skin appear more refined. It makes my skin a little drier than before but that is to be expected from cleansing twice I should think (making my skin drier has never made any difference to my acne I add). Using Precleanse has demonstrated to me that all traces of makeup do need to be removed at night and the skin does need to be completely clean. There is something very lovely about Precleanse with the plant oils it contains and it smells gorgeous too. It feels very gentle and I suspect more gentle and less drying than a double-cleanse with my usual cleansers. My skin also feels very soft afterwards. Overall this product has made a dramatic difference to my acne and the general tone of my skin and I do now believe that when I get myself off sugar again, by using Precleanse and drinking water, my skin will be completely clear. I really love this product and can only recommend it.

**Q: About how long does 5.1 oz bottle last on average?**
A: Hello! The Dermalogica Precleanse 5.1 oz can typically last 3-4 months. Thanks!

**Q: Is this profuct directly from dermatologica or a different company**
A: It is sold by another company.

**Q: how long does one think a 5 oz bottle would last with once a day use?**
A: It all depends on how much you use each time,  a little of the product goes a long way.  Pour into the palm of one hand and mix/rub with your other hand then apply to your face,  work on the face with both hands to loosen excess grime, oil and  or makeup. Dampen your hands with water and rework on your face. It will turn a milky color, because it is water soluble. Rinse

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best product ever
*by D***F on 17 September 2017*

Best product ever. I have very sensitive skin and even quite a few of Dermalogica products are too strong for me but this pre cleanse .... oily liquid ..... but washes away with plain water with ease. I use it a lot as a make up remover. Before I would find it hard to get the last remnants of waterproof mascara off, or eyeliner etc ..... but putting some precleans into my hand and gently smoothing it over my face ..... including eyelashes/eyelids .... then rinse off with a sponge and warm water ..... makeup gone. Very occasionally have needed a second application. With dedicated make up removers it can take several attempts to cleans my face of all traces of makeup. So really love this product and you dont need to use much either .... especially love the fact you just rinse it off, no rubbing with cotton wool pads etc :)
