Regular cleanser for me, I didn't think the active ingredients really did anything. Maybe a good start for a teenage skincare routine.

    I have oily/ acne prone skin. Wasn't too impressed with this. It didn't do anything to make it worse but didn't do anything to make it better.
  3. I like it

    Chloe

    I’ve had some deep acne with scarring that’s i’ve been needing to deal with. helped loads love this product
  4. Effective

    Nikki

    Effective cleanser that leaves my face feeling really clean without being stripped. Helps control my hormonal breakouts. Non-irritating too.
  5. Must have for acne

    Nim

    This is great starting product for active acne/breakouts, gentle but effective!!
  6. A cleansing foaming wash for oily skin

    Carmen

    Great product but can be a little drying to use in winter in Australia... would recommend if you have oily skin and need a good deep cleaning product that reduces break outs
  7. Mixed feelings

    beautylover

    I started using this product almost three years ago after receiving a sample of the Clear Start collection and I fell in love with it. The scent of this face wash is amazing and is probably why I kept repurchasing for so long. However, my main skin concern is that I've got oily and acne prone skin and this product hasn't helped much with it. It's a great face wash for oily skin but hasn't done muc...

  8. Best cleanser ever!

    Chloe

    I absolutely love this product so much. I started buying this cleanser in 2020 due to my old skincare routine causing acne on my face (not Dermalogica products). This cleanser is extremely refreshing and makes my face feel and look glowing and helped remove my acne immediately.
  9. Decent cleanser when first starting off

    Tee Ng

    Smells good and it works like an ordinary cleanser but more expensive, good starting point for skincare.
  10. Great cleanser

    Paddles

    I really like this cleanser..I have adult acne but this doesn't break me out or irritate..cleanses well, good value too
  11. Amazing product!

    Chloe

    I was looking for something that would help tackle hormonal acne during my cycle and I was not disappointed! Have tried numerous brands and was recommended clear start from a friend. Skin is now much clearer and only a few minor breakouts when hormones are high. Much more confident in my skin.
  12. Great for beginners skincare

    G

    Love the smell and foamy consistency of this cleanser. Have been using this as my day to day cleanser and feel it is a good starting cleanser for someone with oily prone skin. This product leaves the skin feeling clean and oil free and would recommend in a beginners routine.
  13. Great for hormonal acne

    Bec

    After going off the contraceptive pill, I developed oily skin and hormonal acne. This product has helped me so much to deal with the excessive oiliness and decrease my breakouts.

    Tan

    I do like dermalogica cleansers, but this one I found was a little bit drying on my skin. Maybe because it is winter it is extra drying.

    EB

    I wouldn't have bought this cleanser to be honest - I have very sensitive skin and have reacted to salicylic acid products in the past. In fact my skin reacts to most cleansers, sensitive, natural, sulfate free - my skin is very reactive to most cleansers I have tried. I had been using the sweet almond Weleda cleanser which is nice and calming but doesn't help with breakouts. I got a sample of thi...

  31. Good wash for breakouts

    Kia

    I use this cleanser a couple of times a week to help keep my skin clear, it's great for when you've done a lot of mask wearing and can feel a breakout coming on. I alternate with a more gentle cleanser as it is a bit harsh and drying.

  34. Perfect for oily skin types!

    Matilda

    So starting off I had high expectations, I had seen this product all over social media and was excited to try it out! It works just as well as I had hoped and has definitely helped with clearing my hormonal acne (I use this in combination with the Clear Start toner, booster and aqua jelly). IT IS PERFECT FOR MY OILY SKIN.

    Not good for sensitive, dry skin. It dries my skin out completely.

    Not bad, really cleanses at first but I find skin falls back into old patterns after some time. Also find it unreasonably prices versus the amount of product.

    Issy

    Someone whose struggled a lot with persistent acne it definitely neutralised this.
  43. Ahmazing!

    Zoe

    I have used this cleanser for two years now. I always come back to it because it is so effective. It cleansers and clears without stripping or drying the skin. It has never irritated my skin because it is so gentle. The salicylic acid is a bonus. So happy they make a jumbo bottle of this now!
  44. Effective and non-irritating

    Jazzy

    An effective cleanser that is cleans my oily skin thoroughly while also managing to be non-irritating. It also really helps with keeping my breakouts at a minimum. A small bit is all you need for each use, so this bottle will last.
  45. Perfect for breakouts

    Amanda

    Perfect for breakouts, skin felt clean, my breakouts halved over night!! Will recommend this, and now buy larger bottle for my teenagers!!
  46. Fantastic!

    Stephanie

    It foams really well and you actually need less than you think. Also good value for money, but if you want to invest in this go with the 295ml one.
  47. Great less expensive option

    Mabel

    I like this wash, good for make up removal at the end of the day or morning to freshen up. I have combination skin and it has not irritated my skin

  60. helped clear my skin

    Charlie

    This product helped clear up my skin. However it does leave my skin feeling a little dry sometimes. Overall a great cleanser
  61. Does what it says

    Jan

    It does do what it says but it makes my skin feeling dry after washing it off
  62. Amazing- Gentle But Effective!

    Amy

    I have been using this cleanser for about a year and it is perfect for acne-prone skin. I have noticed that it does not contain sulphates, which are in many other cleansers and are known to strip the skin. It smells amazing, foams up nicely and does not leave the skin feeling tight or stripped. Highly Recommend this cleanser!
  63. great

    leigh

    everything you need, a simple yet effective cleanser that doesn't smell strong and has nice packaging.
  64. Pretty good

    Gabby

    Switched from my old cleanser to try this one. Was surprised how gentle it was. My skin felt very clean and the scent was very subtle. Foams up a lot so the bottle lasts ages.
  65. Perfect for my teen

    Lily

    My teenager loves this brand. Cleans her skin leaving it soft but fresh and non drying
  66. Helped get rid of my pimples

    Flick

    I annoyingly get pimples on my chin in my 20's and this really helped clear it all up! An amazing product for such a good price. the bottle also lasts a while.

    Lacey

    I have been using this for about 2 years now and it honestly never does be wrong!! Too scared to try another cleanser I love it that much
  68. Excellent product

    Aline

    Very effective, easy to use and doesn’t dry out skin too much. My teenage son uses this in the shower and it helps keep his skin clear. Highly recommend.
  69. My skins bestfriend

    luckynotyou

    Honestly my skin has a turn around almost immediately within the first week of using this product, recommended it to a few friends and they’ve all been extremely impressed. Definitely staying in my skin care routine from now on ☺️
  70. Never goes wrong with dermalogica

    Sa

    Outstanding product, my skin loves it !
  71. SO helpful

    Daisy

    My skin gets congested all of the time and this helps a lot with clearing up my spots! Definitely necessary in my skin routine.
  72. Pleasantly surprised!

    Mia

    At first when I originally used this product I didn't really enjoy it as my skin was sensitive (another product had caused this) but I started using it again and It's honestly one of my go to cleansers, it really gives a deep clean and really great for my acne as it has salicylic acid in it! Definitely recommend giving it a try for acne prone skin.
  73. Harsh for sensitive skin

    Cherry

    I have a bit of a sensitive skin and I feel this is very harsh for me. I didn’t see it doing anything for me other than making my skin itch and dry
  74. Love the Clear Start range

    Freya

    I am 27 and have combination skin, and have had hormonal acne since I was around 14. I bought this product with three other Clear Start products for the first time around ten months ago, and have never looked back. I have used this as my daily cleanser ever since and intend to keep using it indefinitely. Really with the cleanser and the entire range!
  75. great packaging

    ash

    I use this cleanser as a second step in my nightly double cleanse. Love the packaging and it seems to do an okay job. Nothing groundbreaking but for the price and as a second cleanser I will keep reusing. Not sure if I would repurchase it though
  76. Kind to your skin

    Lacey

    This is my first Dermalogica product I've ticked off the list, and it feels super gentle on my skin. It foams well and doesn't feel harsh/like it is drying or stripping my skin. I've used this generally in the mornings and I felt like it's made a difference with breakouts.
  77. Helping calm break outs without stripping

    Ruby

    I have been using this on my face and body it has been working well, it is not too harsh and does not leave the skin dry. Good value for money
  78. Use when I have a break out

    daisy

    I come back to this when my skin is going through a breakout, always helps and I love it!
  79. Keep coming back.

    Tiana Renee

    Only cleanser that I've bothered to keep buying. I ran out and noticed break outs returning. I notice a genuine difference in my skin using this cleanser.
  80. Great for teens & pre-teens

    KelliM

    I got this and other clear start products for my pre teen who was starting to break out.
    This has definitely made a difference to the severity and duration of her break outs and prevented more. Easy to use and cost effective for the target age group
  81. AMAZING!

    xcxitlin

    I’ve heard great things about this cleanser and there’s no wonder why! it’s amazing, usually i steer clear of ‘breakout clearing’ or foaming washes as they can strip and make my skin worse but this is beautiful, my skin is so bright, clear and clean and it keeps all my breakouts at bay, I love it! it’s a must try!
  82. not good for dry skin

    Perfecting Skin

    this has to be the worst cleanser ever. it broke me out even more and made my skin dry and flakey. i only had 2,3 breakouts when i started using it and it increased to about 5,6 by 2,3 weeks of using it.
  83. Pretty decent!

    Jacqui

    This is one of the only cleansers that has helped to clear my adult acne up. It's great and not overly drying on my oily skin either.
  84. Has help clear up my son's face

    Lozza

    I was recommended this product from a friend to try and clear up my son's acne. We have been using this range for a week now and have seen some great improvements. I ordered a sample kit and have now ordered full size products as we are happy with what we've seen.
  85. Worst wash ever

    CHerry

    i had been using it for a week now when i saw my skin around the nose and mouth turning red. i stopped using this and it was better. i don't think this is for sensitive or even combination skin or dry skin. this is just designed for oily skin i think. i am highly disappointed in the product.
  86. Best cleanser

    Mon

    Really really nice cleanser! One of my favourites. Helps keep my acne at bay!
  87. best face wash for acne

    rachel

    i struggle with acne especially on my cheeks. i have sensitive, oily, breakout prone skin and i am very cautious about what i put on my face. i decided to try this after reading the amazing reviews and it did not disappoint. after a few days of using this cleanser i could tell my skin was brighter and clearer with no redness in sight. after 2 weeks it had cleared my acne. definitely recommend
  88. LOVE THIS PRODUCT

    Maddi

    This was one of the first products I used from Dermalogica and it will be an all-time favourite. This cleared all of my breakouts, exactly as it states in the name. It also leaves your skin feeling extra clean after washing your face, creating a great base for the rest of my skincare regime. I also love that a little goes a long way with this product, making it last for months even using it twice ...

What’s worse, the new pimples were huge and very stubborn on my cheek and beside my nose. I’m still trying to get rid of the one on my cheek more than two weeks after stopping this product but it is not subsiding.

  90. Perfect for young skin

    Meg

    I bought this for my daughter when she was 11 and just starting to get blackheads and tiny spots. She wasn't keen to use it at first but when she did get some spots on her nose she tried it and noticed a difference after the first few days. She loves it and it prevents blackheads from forming. It's perfect for young sensitive skin.
  91. Good not Great

    bidle

    does what it says, is a good cleanser for removing dirt and keeping oils in check but nothing too amazing and i don't feel any dramatically better results in my skin over time.
  92. Banish your blemish

    Chelsea

    I have suffered break outs most of my adult life and this helps to clear them as quickly as possible. I’m 25 and have hormonal acne mostly which can be tricky to treat. The foam wash lathers up nicely without overly drying the skin. A little really does go a long way! So make sure you only use a tiny pea sized amount. Has a really nice smell to it too. I’ve been re purchasing since 2018 and will c...

    This product has left my skin clear and breakout free. Amazing start to a skin care routine
  96. Excellent product, especially for the price.

    Queenie

    I have been using this on and off for years, from my twenties and it still works for me in my thirties. Combination skin with occasional breakouts. Removes makeup well (after pre cleansing), and as a bonus it's a great price.
  97. okay

    Jac

    wasn't highly impressed a little drying
  98. Good introductory product

    Bailey

    This product really did help clear my skin when I was starting skin care. I did find that my skin felt soooo dry after using it. I would just use something super hydrating and oil-free afterwards and it was fine then.
  99. Perfect for pre teens

    Cheri

    I brought this for my pre teen son to try to get him into a good skin care regime. Its really easy for him to use and isn't harsh at all on his skin. He was starting to get a bit red and oily around his nose but since using this the breakouts have cleared and his skin has gone back to normal again :)
  100. oil clearing
