I was provided the Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and Wipes for review. However, all opinions are my own.
If you’ve been around for awhile then you know that I’ve come to love me some Dermalogica products. I’ve reviewed the Microfoliant and the Dynamic Skin Recovery on the blog. Having tried previous Dermalogica products, and loved them, I was a bit skeptical when I received these, I mean you can’t like every product from a company right?
The Dermalogica PreCleanse System works on the “Double Cleanse” system. With the Double Cleanse system you use a PreCleanse product to break down your stubborn makeup, it even breaks down products like sunscreen. Dermalogica’s reasoning behind this Double Cleanse system is that breaking down these itms before hand will give you a deeper more professional level of cleaning.
The Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil is an oil cleanser that helps break down products on your face. To use the Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil you start by putting some of the product into dry hands and then applying to a dry face. For a deeper clean you can add a little bit of water to the product on your face and continue rubbing until it forms a “milky emulsion”. You then rinse with warm water and continue with your skin care routine.

If you’re a little iffy about the Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil then you can use the Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes. The wipes are premoistened and work like any other makeup remover wipe, however, with the Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil once you’ve wiped the wipe over your face the first time you can wet it to activate it’s “emulsion” process and wipe it back over your face. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeazy. You of course would then follow up with your skin care routine.

I follow up my Dermalogica PreCleanse System with a cleanser, either Philosophy’s Purity or Michael Todd’s Oat Cleanser, and a moisturizer, always Embryolisse. Some things to note about the Dermalogica PreCleanse System is that they do have a bit of a scent to them but it’s not a perfume or harsh scent. The Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil smells like a mix of citrus and lavender, while the Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes have just a citrus scent to them. It’s nothing that would keep me from using them. Also, the Also, you can buy the Dermalogica PreCleanse System as a large system (5.1 oz. Oil and 20 wipes) for $56.00, a small system (1 oz. oil and 20 wipes) for $28.00, the oil separately (5.1 oz. or 1 oz) for $38.00 or $10.00 respectively, and the wipes separately (20 wipes) for $18.00. Lastly, you should know that I LOVED both of these products. When I run out I will be purchasing more and I think the Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes may become my go to wipes since my favorites aren’t sold anymore!
I haven’t used any Dermalogica products myself, but everyone I have ever known that uses them really seems to love them.
Looks like a great product Cassie. Can you use it if you have oily skin?
For sure Deb, it doesn’t leave an oily residue or anything. Plus it’ll help break down any of those extra products that you might have on the skin to help with oily skin 🙂
We’ve been experimenting with different wipes for our pre-teen daughters. Will check this brand out to see if it works with their skin.
These sound like great products. The scents sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing these!
I’m a huge fan of makeup-removing and skin-cleansing wipes, so that looks right up my alley!
These sound like great products I can’t wait to try them. I am always using sunscreen and it is always a pain to wash it off.
I will check these out. I do not wear makeup but do use the cleansers. I love citrus and lavender – two of my favorite scents.
These sound great! I wish they didn’t contain lavender oil. I love the Dermalogica products without lavender oil.
I was doing a double cleanse system before I got these products as well using a different cleansing oil, and I’ve found that this one works just as well, if not better! And the travel wipes are a MUST have.
I would love to see the ingredients in these. Looks like a good product. Sometimes it just takes someone to point it out to you! Thanks!
I just updated the post with ingredient lists for both products 🙂
Oh, these sound great! Thanks for the review lady!
Since I don’t wear makeup anymore-or t least very infrequently-I really would have no need for these two products. For those that wear full makeup daily–yes I can certainly see how it would make getting that makeup off a whole lot easier.
These seems like such a great product. I am fortunate that I make my own but have a few friends I can recommend to come check this out. I love how in depth you went. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Those wipes would be well used in my household. The oil and wipes combination sounds great for the nightly routine.
I don’t wear makeup but these look great for cleaning your face!
What are some of the ingredients in the wipes itself? Any harsh chemical’s at all?
I know that they are made without any artificial fragrances, colors, or parabens. I did update the post with ingredient lists for both the wipes and the oil 🙂
I learn so much from your blog. I always feel like I know nothing about make up and this kind of thing until I read here! I need to get some of this and most definitely the pads! The preCleanse system looks nice. I haven’t ever heard of this before! I think I need to play with make up more before I go getting this though!
Whoa, those wipes look awesome!
Never heard of this company before, but looks like they will be successful.
I love face wipes and these look great!! I have heard of Dermalogica before but never used the products before. Great review!!
These sound like amazing products!! I love the facial wipes I always carry similar ones in my purse.
I love makeup wipes! I’ve been using the Sephora brand, but I am always up for trying something new. I’m also really intrigued by the idea of the oil. I’m going to have to give this a shot.
I am a happy user of Dermatologica products. I like their stuff because surprisingly, they’re Asian-skin-friendly. I don’t get breakouts. I use their facial wipes before I start my entire facial cleaning routine.
These dermatologica wipes look like a good idea to help remove stubborn make up. I find that the liquid eye liners and some mascaras are difficult to remove. I typically use ponds cold cream, but will have to look into these.
I actually haven’t used the Ponds Cold Cream to remove makeup before. It’s on my “Must Try List” though.
I was so impressed with these products! I didn’t have high hopes for precleansing but my mind has been changed!
I would LOVE to try Dermologica products! I have seen great things about them!
I sweat a lot on the gym. I always have the Dermalogica wipes afterwards! 🙂
I love this product! My friend used to work for them and owuld give me free samples all the time! This stuff is amazing!
Wipes, a must have essential in my purse not only for me but for my kiddos. I haven’t tried dermalogica but it sounds pretty good and effective based from your experience.
I have a sensitive skin so I am so careful on buying any products.This looks a good product to try. Thanks for sharing,
I would love to try to use these wipes for cleaning up my makeup. I need to pick up some of these products for my new everyday skin care routine.
I haven’t heard of this brand prior to this but it does sound like a great product. I’m using something else for taking off makeup, when I do wear it.
This sounds like a wonderful product. After reading some of the comments it sounds like it would be ok for me. I have combination skin and the dry is extremely dry and sensitive. I might have to look into this one.
Dermalogica is one of my favorite skincare brands.
These sounds really wonderful! I’ve been getting tired of some of my usual products so I’ll keep these in mind to give a try
These sound like really great products. I’ve been looking for something like these for a while now. Will have to check them out.
My daughter has sensitive skin and has just started wearing make up. I am sure DERMALOGICA PRECLEANSE OIL AND WIPES
This sounds great! I really need a good cleansing system for my skin. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, yet I have a hard time cleansing my skin when I do.
I love Dermalogica products. They do a great job moisturizing and gently cleansing beautiful skin.
I wonder how well these do on removing waterproof makeup. I always have some left after other wipes, and even a couple washings that I use a wet q-tip to wipe away the rest.
These actually do really well in helping breakdown waterproof makeup. It’s a precleanse system so you would still followup with your regular cleanser and then your moisturizer but this will help the cleanser to pull everything off in one go, and it gets the stuff deeper down in your pores.
I like products that promise double cleaning. I don’t want the makeup on my skin to build up over time and create signs of skin aging.
I hadn’t heard of these products before. Sounds like something I would like to try out. Thanks for sharing.
This is the first time that I’ve heard of these products. Sounds like something I need to really take a look at.
This sounds very interesting. I’m not sure I have ever heard of an oil facial cleanser before. It sounds counter-intuitive, doesn’t it?
While it does, cleaning oils (that are done right) can actually leave your face cleaner than other cleansers. And while the name oil leads one to believe it will leave your face oily most actually do not leave behind any residue.
Ahhhh I use to be Dermalogica obsessed when I was in college!!! Fantastic products 🙂 glad I don’t have problematic skin anymore so I don’t use it as much 😉
I’m going to have to check out those wipes! I really rely on them to start my skin care routine.
First time hearing about this product line. I’m curious as to how the citrus + lavender scents smell. I usually don’t like a scented facial product.
I have not heard of these. Sounds like a good product I could use.
I would use this system for the whole family. My face looks like I’m sixteen, my teen looks like Braille, and my husband gets anxiety acne. I definitely will check this out!
I rarely make use of wipes – but this seems a good one and worth a try.
I love how these are made without any of the harsh stuff! I will definetley be trying these out!
It seems a few friends have been trying them out. My teen may be testing out some wipes soon, so I will have her give these a looksee.
I’d never heard of dermalogica products before reading this! They look pretty awesome. Affordable, and they seem to work well! I don’t currently use a pre cleaner (had no clue I should) so maybe I need to check these out!
I’m thinking I need to try this duo! I also have been wanting to try Embryolisse, which I spied in your pics! 😉
I LOVE my Embryolisse, it leaves my skin SO hydrated which is hard to do with my eczema.
Hey,
This sounds very interesting. I’m not sure I have ever heard of an oil facial cleanser before. It sounds counter-intuitive, doesn’t it?
