FAQ

What is included in the Double Cleanse Set?

The Double Cleanse Set includes two full-size products: PreCleanse (a deep-cleansing oil) and Special Cleansing Gel (a soap-free foaming gel cleanser). Together, they form the complete dermalogica Double Cleanse — the two-step method used by skin therapists to achieve a thorough, professional-level clean.

What is double cleansing, and why does it matter?

Double cleansing is a two-step cleansing method that uses an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and surface buildup — followed by a water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. The first step breaks down what sits on top of the skin; the second step cleanses the skin itself. Used together, the two steps allow each product to work more effectively than either would alone.

Who is the Double Cleanse Set recommended for?

It is suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. PreCleanse is formulated to dissolve excess sebum without clogging pores, and Special Cleansing Gel gently cleanses without disrupting the skin's natural moisture balance — making the routine appropriate for everyday use across a wide range of skin concerns.

How do I use the Double Cleanse Set?

Start with PreCleanse: dispense onto dry hands and massage over dry face and eyes to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and surface debris. Wet hands to create a light, milky emulsion, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow immediately with Special Cleansing Gel: gently lather a small amount in moistened hands, apply to dampened face and throat, and rinse with warm water. Continue with your prescribed dermalogica toner and moisturizer.

Can I use PreCleanse if I have oily skin?

Yes. PreCleanse is designed to be ideal even for oily skin conditions. It dissolves excess sebum and surface buildup, then rinses cleanly away without leaving residue or clogging pores.

Does PreCleanse remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. PreCleanse is formulated to melt away waterproof makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, environmental pollutants, and residual skin care products that accumulate throughout the day.

Will Special Cleansing Gel dry out my skin?

No. Special Cleansing Gel is a soap-free formula that cleanses without stripping the skin's natural moisture balance. Its refreshing lather rinses clean while calming Balm Mint and Lavender extracts help soothe the skin — making it lightweight and mild enough for daily use.

Do I need to double cleanse even if I don't wear makeup?

Yes. Sunscreen, excess sebum, environmental pollutants, and residual skin care products accumulate on the skin throughout the day regardless of makeup use. Double cleansing helps ensure these layers are fully removed so the skin is thoroughly clean and better prepared to absorb the products that follow.

Is the Double Cleanse Set suitable for daily use?

Yes. Both products are formulated for daily use. PreCleanse gently dissolves surface buildup without compromising the skin barrier, and Special Cleansing Gel is lightweight and mild enough to use morning and evening.

Q&A

What is the ph of these products? Is one an amino acid cleanser, if so, which one? Are they non comedogenic? Thank you: Hi Sherry, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica with your thoughtful questions. We’re happy to provide a bit more clarity and truly appreciate your interest in understanding how our products work with the skin. Regarding pH, the majority of Dermalogica products are formulated to be pH balanced to the skin. Most fall within a range of approximately 4–6, which helps support the skin’s natural acid mantle and overall barrier health. As for amino acid cleansers, while several of our cleansers are formulated with gentle, skin-respecting surfactants, we do not specifically categorize or market a product as an “amino acid cleanser.” If you’d like, we’d be more than happy to recommend a cleanser based on your skin type, sensitivities, or specific concerns. In terms of being non-comedogenic, we don’t use this claim on our packaging because pore-clogging potential can vary greatly from person to person. Ingredients that work beautifully for one skin type may not be ideal for another. That said, our formulas are thoughtfully developed with skin health in mind, and we’re always glad to help guide you toward products that are best suited for your individual skin needs. We hope this information is helpful, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like personalized recommendations or have any additional questions—we’re here to help. Kindly, Sandra
