Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser for Face and Eyes

Although this cleanser was not effective for me I could certainly see the benefits for those that have sensitivity to cleansing products. This cleanser has a strange consistency of a medium texture gel/ cream which is quite slippery on the skin. It has a pearlescent look to the gel. There is no apparent fragrance and you only need a small amount per application. You massage the cleanser onto the skin and eyes if required and then remove with either water, a damp or dry cloth. I personally did not feel that this product deep cleansed my skin enough and although it had good results on my facial makeup it did very little for my eye makeup. I had to use a separate product for this task. Due to the consistency of the gel I found that rinsing was not enough to remove all of the cleanser so I had to use a warm damp cloth for removal. The cleanser contains lavender to help soothe the skin, cornflower to calm and cucumber to help soothe irritation. This product certainly does all of the above and I noted a definite calming of redness and irritation in my skin after use. Once removed your skin feels soft, smooth and slightly moisturized, not all dry or tight.
Sadly for a sensitive cleanser I was dismayed to see that this product contains alcohol and parabens, however, these ingredients did not have a detrimental effect on my skin. If these ingredients are of no concern to you and you suffer excess irritation this cleanser would be beneficial. For me it was not effective enough in cleansing so I would not re-purchase
