Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel - Soap-Free Foaming Face Wash for All Skin Types - Gently Cleanses Without Stripping, Helps Maintain Skin’s Natural Moisture, 500ml : desertcart.co.uk: Beauty

Review: Sueo - Very good, used for a long time.
Review: Would definitely recommend for acne-prone skin. - I've been suffering with acne for about 6 years now and have tried a wide variety of prices from Simple, Garnier, Neutrogina up to Proactiv and prescribed face washes. This year I broke out with cystic acne which was incredibly painful due to its concentration around my mouth. This left a large number of scars all over my face and largely around my lips and on my chin. The cystic acne cleared up from me being prescribed antibiotics but I was left with all of those scars. My aunt recommended this specific face wash which had helped with her acne scarring previously and due to her being in the beauty industry, she was pretty sure that this is a Dermologica product although this product can't be bought on Dermalogica's website. In July this year I bought this size bottle and tried it out. The bottle lasted me to the end of September as hardly any product needs to be used. In this time I noticed a reduction in the redness and size of the scarring and a generally nice look to the skin (that isn't scarred). In addition, due to it not containing any oils or comedogenic ingredients (as far as I'm aware), it didn't cause me to break out at all. I would recommend this product but definitely buy this size of bottle just in case it doesn't work exactly how you'd like.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but the price is unpleasant
*by Y***A on 8 April 2025*

I’m torn on this one as on one side, I think it’s the best cleanser I’ve used in a long time but on the other side, I’m not sure if it’s worth the price. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for - effective, gentle & non-stripping, free from harsh actives and scents. I also love the foaminess and a little goes a long way. However, the price is a big deal for me and I’m not sure if it justifies it as it is (and should be) pretty simple. I got a small size to try and see whether my skin would like it but I’m torn on whether I’ll be getting the big size (and hoping, I might find a cheaper alternative)
