"I have severe type 2 rosacea and my face was so bad before I found Dermalogica's calming line. The cream my doctors gave me enflamed my skin to where it hurt to blink. The first time I used it I could feel how clean my face was, but it also wasn't irritated. The calming line has brought my skin back to life. My face is now clear and my rosacea is easier to manage. My face no longer burns and I'm not embarrassed to show my face anymore."
"I pair this cleanser with a benzoyl peroxide face wash (“yay” for adult acne!). Along with Dermalogica’s Stabilizing Repair Cream, it does an amazing job of balancing and calming my skin, combatting the irritation and flakiness I’ve experienced with topical acne medications in the past. It also seems to bolster my skin’s ability to tolerate retinol. Good stuff!"
"This is my favorite cleanser for my sensitive, sometimes red skin. It’s so gentle that my mom used it while doing a cancer cream on her face for pre-cancerous spots and also fell in love with it. It’s all she will use now."
"It’s been the best cleanser I have used. It has helped me with the redness and so easy on my skin. Will definitely keep this in my rotation as I continue my skin care routine"
"I love dermalogica products , cost are little high . I hope I can afford to use this brand through out my business."
"This is a staple for me. It is very gentle- never leaves my skin red or irritated. Yet my face always feels completely clean after using it."
"This cleanser has a rich cream texture that feels good on my face. It doesn’t dry my skin out and no irritation. If you have mature sensitive and delicate skin you might want to try it."
"This cleanser definitely calms and cools and that’s exactly why I purchased it after trying a drug store brand for a year. It’s also great for gently removing lightly applied eye makeup"
"Great for my skin! I have been having problems with partial breakouts around my nose and irritation and this product is amazing and gentle"
"Delicately fortifies skin’s protective barrier without leaving an irritating residue"
