Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser gentle pH‑balanced non-foaming gel‑cream — 8.4 fl oz, soothes redness for sensitive skin

This gentle cleanser combines a soothing, lightweight texture with barrier-supporting ingredients to remove surface impurities while helping to reduce visible redness and discomfort. Formulated for sensitive, easily irritated complexions, it rinses or wipes off cleanly and pairs well with the rest of the UltraCalming line to restore comfort and balance.

How does this cleanser calm and cool sensitive skin?

The formula features skin-soothing botanicals and a non-foaming gel-cream base that minimizes friction and irritation during cleansing. It focuses on maintaining the skin's natural pH so the barrier isn't weakened, which helps reduce reactive redness after washing.

• Non-foaming gel-cream texture to avoid over-drying suds
• pH-balanced to preserve the skin’s natural protective mantle
• Soothing botanical extracts to comfort sensitized areas
• Rinses or wipes off cleanly without leaving film

Will it remove makeup and impurities without irritation?

Ultracalming Cleanser is effective at lifting light makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime when used after an oil-based PreCleanse or with a damp cloth. Its gentle action focuses on removing surface debris while minimizing rubbing and tugging that can aggravate sensitive skin.

• Pairs with a PreCleanse for heavier makeup removal
• Massages in and rinses off or is gently patted away with a tissue
• Doesn’t leave an irritating residue that can cause stinging
• Formulated to be mild enough for daily use

How should I incorporate it into my skincare routine?

Use Ultracalming Cleanser as the second step after an oil-based PreCleanse if you wear heavy makeup, or alone for lighter days. Massage onto face and neck with upward strokes, then rinse or remove with a soft tissue; follow with UltraCalming Mist and a moisturizer to lock in comfort.

• Step 1: Optional PreCleanse for oil-based removals
• Step 2: Apply cleanser with gentle upward motions
• Step 3: Rinse or wipe off; pat skin dry
• Step 4: Finish with UltraCalming Mist and a hydrating cream

What skin types and concerns is this best suited for?

This cleanser is tailored for sensitive, reactive, dry, or dehydrated skin that needs gentle care. It’s designed to reduce the usual irritation associated with washing—such as burning, tightness, or increased redness—without compromising cleanliness.

• Ideal for sensitive and easily irritated complexions
• Helps support dry and dehydrated skin during cleansing
• Useful for those prone to post-wash redness or discomfort
• Works well within an UltraCalming regimen for barrier support

Who is this for: Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser is aimed at anyone seeking a gentle, non-foaming facial wash that prioritizes barrier preservation and comfort—particularly those with sensitive, reactive, dry, or redness-prone skin who want an effective, low-irritation cleansing step in their daily routine.
