This product was recommended to me by my beautician when I was suffering from terrible acne. The reason for my title is because I'm not completely sure a precleanse is necessary, however I absolutely LOVED this product! The concept of rubbing oil into my skin freaked me out as my skin was terrible. Wasn't it excess oil that caused my skin problems in the first place? I have since researched this and I use natural oils daily on my face and body. So the product goes onto your skin like an oil as you rub it in any make up you have on dissolves into it so you end up looking like a oily grimy freak. Once you add a small amount of water the product turns into a milky like substance. Once rinsed off all make up is gone and your face is fresh and ready to cleanse with your usual cleanser. I have ridiculously sensitive skin and using this product to remove make up (and eye make up!) caused me no irritation and really helped my skin. Unfortunately I can't always afford to buy dermalogica (even though the bottle lasts for ever! And I'm a poor student) when I can, I do. Will definitely purchase again when I can afford it.

Reviews
I love nearly all dermalogica products, pre cleanse is great, it helps to remove all the excess oils, dirt and make up, which itdoes quite throughly even gel liner which can be a pain to remove sometimes, so that you can deep cleanse with your next cleanser, perfect for sensitive skin too with no irritation,
This pre cleanse is an oily product. Sounds weird but its great for oil skin, as oil actually breaks down oil. weird i know. It has a delicious lemony citrus scent and works amazingly! When i was doing my beauty therapy at home i used this on most of my clients and never had a reaction. it removes most of your makeup then followed by your daily cleanser to remove the rest :)
Tips: Apply to a dry face work it in for a minute or two, then wet hands and work small amounts of water into your face, this will then turn it into a milk which is then ready to be removed. best removed with wet makeup remover sponges.
I used this product while studying at Beauty school and Oh my gosh. It smells divine like a botanical wonderland, feels divine and removes all makeup so easily! I highly recommend this product. Beautiful
Tips: Soak cotton pads and hold over eyes for 15-20 seconds to remove eye makeup.
I was sent this product when I was a magazine editor and back then the concept of putting oil on my skin was so foreign. Ironically now I make skin oils for a living! I am a huge fan of Dermalogica and have used their Total Eye Care for over a decade. This product is great for those who have never experienced the magic of using oils on the face that literally melt away dirt and impurities. Not only that this product lasts ages and smells great so it lives up to what it says it will do. It's obviously not completely natural so not for those who are concerned about using certain chemicals on the skin but I'm a firm believer in the oil cleansing method so if I wasn't using my own oil I would use this again. Just be aware that over cleansing the skin can make the skin produce even more oil so cleansing after this product is not always necessary despite how it is pitched as a pre-cleanse.
Tips: It's also a great pre-shave for boyfriends (softens up their stubble) and also good for shaving legs...
Pretty easy to write this one! I was given this product - might not have thought to buy an oil for cleansing - but it is now an essential in my routine.
What I love: product lasts forever. A few drops melt away makeup, even my all-day foundation. It smells divine. And although it's billed as a pre-cleanse, a second cleanse isn't always needed (so it's very effective).
What I don't like: nothing. See? Told you this was an easy review to write!
Tips: Can be expensive but quite often on sale via sites like Brands Exclusive.
I don't know why I ever stopped using this! Probably because of the price. But Ohhh is it worth it! A must have for any make-up wearing, sporty type of girl. I have had oily acne prone skin for years, but I thoroughly enjoyed the cleansing oil feel plus oil against oil is recommended. You can really feel the oil slowly lifting of all make-up and residue on the skin, then wash off, and apply your normal cleanser which will be able to penetrate into your clean skin better. Like most of the Dermalogica products, it smells beautiful, really fresh, clean and natural and like you have had a facial! Love it, best I have tried.
Tips: Go ahead, don't be afraid to use it on your eyes, to get that stubborn mascara or eyeliner off!
I have used Pre-Cleanse for a few years and am now working in a salon that sells it which is a bonus for me! It is a must have for girls who wear make up every day as it is so easy to remove and even dissolves eye make up. It is particualrly great for oily skin but you can use on any skin and it won't dry it out or add oil too it. I love this!
Tips: You must apply this with dry hands and circle over face then emulsify with water so it turns milky and rinse off.
I love this pre cleanse. It removes everything so when you cleanse you know you are truly deep cleansing your skin and not just removing make up residue. You only need a tiny amount which is great when you consider how damn expensive it is
Soooo good! literally melts the makeup away - this is the only thing that really gets rid of my foundations that have a longer staying power and are harder to remove. Great for removing eye makeup as well. Love, love love it!
