Dermalogica Precleanse Oil Cleanser — 10 fl oz Makeup Remover that Dissolves Sunscreen & Waterproof Makeup

Dermalogica Precleanse is a lightweight cleansing oil that melts away makeup, sunscreen, excess oil and environmental grime to prep skin for a deeper professional cleanse.

Start your routine with a first-step oil that dissolves impurities without stripping skin. This 10 fl oz Precleanse from Dermalogica is formulated to break down waterproof makeup and surface sebum so your regular cleanser can work more effectively. It emulsifies with water for easy removal and leaves skin conditioned thanks to nourishing essential fatty acids.

How does Precleanse remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

Precleanse uses oil-soluble ingredients to dissolve pigments, sunscreen filters and longwear formulas that water-based cleansers often miss. Massaged onto dry skin, it lifts debris from pores and then turns milky when water is added to rinse cleanly away.

• Dissolves waterproof makeup and SPF without harsh rubbing
• Works on oily and dry areas by binding excess sebum
• Emulsifies with water for simple, residue-free rinsing
• 10 fl oz size for extended home or professional use

Will an oil cleanser clog pores or make oily skin worse?

When used as directed, this oil is designed to remove pore-clogging oils and surface impurities rather than add to them. Because it rinses away with water and is followed by your regular Dermalogica cleanser, it helps clear pores and enables better absorption of treatment products.

• Gentle formula suitable for combination and oily skin types
• Helps clear surface sebum and environmental grime
• Prepares skin so next-step cleansers penetrate more efficiently

How do you use Precleanse for the best results?

Apply Precleanse to dry skin and massage, concentrating on areas with heavy makeup or buildup. Add a little water to create a milky emulsion, then rinse thoroughly and follow with your prescribed Dermalogica cleanser for a complete double-cleanse.

• Begin with 1–2 pumps on dry face and eyelids
• Massage for 30–60 seconds to dissolve residues
• Emulsify with water, rinse, then continue with regular cleanser

What results can I expect after adding Precleanse to my routine?

Using Precleanse regularlly removes makeup and surface impurities more effectively, resulting in cleaner pores and improved efficacy of follow-up treatments and moisturizers. Skin feels softer and looks clearer because the oil conditions while lifting away debris.

• Makeup and sunscreen fully removed without harsh stripping
