  1. Didn’t quite work for me

    CeeCee

    Really wanted to love this but I don’t think it was for me. Used it for three months, but what I thought was initial purging just didn’t go away. It is a gentle product, and really nice, unfortunately it just didn’t work for me
  2. Great

    Av

    Great cleanser for sensitive and aging skin.
  3. Lovely deep cleansing

    AB

    A very thorough yet gentle cleanser, I loved using this in the morning. You don't need to use much, and it feels nice
  4. Nothing special

    SusanMarina

    I received a sample of this cleanser. It's OK, but nothing special.
  5. Love this!

    LD

    Love this cleanser! My staple cleanser. I have trouble free skin and this cleanser helps it to stay that way. I have tried a lot of cleansers in my time. This is my current go to.
  6. On Average

    Swish

    This is a non-foaming cleanser with a non-offensive smell. I didn't love the texture but found it creamy yet thin. Cleansed my face fine, but didn't find this product to be anything outside of the ordinary.
  7. Instead of an exfoliator

    Veep

    I like this product, although I couldn't use it exclusively. It is a bit too harsh to use twice a day to cleanse my skin. Instead, I use another cleanser and use this in place of an exfoliator. I like it very much as an exfoliator. I find it not too harsh and it does soften my skin, readying it for the serum.
  8. Nice cleanser

    JJ

    I received this cleanser as sample and was quite impressed by it. I thought it worked well to not strip the skin and still leave the skin soft.
  9. Sample

    Tarma

    Good size sample, nice packaging, not a fan of the citrusy scent. Okay cleanser, nothing special, I will stick to the Skinstitut gentle cleanser.
  10. Smooth cleanser

    Mary English

    I got this as a sample in a goodie bag and I am in love with it.It is great as a second cleanse and noticed a difference using it straight away. Leaves me smooth and bright.Will be purchasing when my sample finishes .
  11. Great Cleanser

    NC

    Great cleanser, nice amount of exfoliation. I use twice a week and notice more smooth and clear skin.
  12. Best cleanser ever

    Erika

    My absolute fave. Leaves skin feeling amazing after each wash
  13. Luxurious cleanser

    Leelee

    Great natural cleanser with lactic acid. Good generous size and sleek high quality packaging across the brand. Would be a wonderful luxury gift item.
  14. Gentle on skin

    Anne

    The cleanser is very gentle on my skin and does not foam up at all.
  15. Nice, but expensive

    CA

    I gave this to a friend for Christmas. She really likes it, uses it with the cleansing brush. However she won't be repurchasing when it runs out, not noticeably better than much cheaper cleansers to justify the expense regularly.
  16. Love

    Claire

    Having oily skin, I am generally used to using cleaners that are very foaming. This is not like that, there is no foaming action and it took a couple of times to get used to it but now I love it! It is so effective but so gentle too. I use this as a second cleanse after I have removed my SPF with an oil cleanser (I don't wear foundation so I can't comment on its makeup removal ability) and have be...

  17. Lovely cleanser

    crowthsH

    Yes it’s expensive. However I only cleanse at night; so I think I’m going to get my monies worth from this bottle! Nice texture, skin feels soft after using. I don’t wear a lot of makeup so I can’t comment on the strength of its removal abilities. I use in conjunction with entire Dermalist range. They all compliment each other well.
  18. Perfect Cleanser

    Kelly

    I got a deluxe sample of this product with a Adore Goodie Bag, and I love it very much. I think it is especially suitable in the morning. It can refresh and brighten my skin, and it has good oil control effect. It's worth buying full size later.
  19. Great morning cleanser

    MichelleMck

    This is a wonderful cleanser that does that little bit extra. I like this one in the mornings especially if I have used all the things the night before. It gives you a great cleanse without any tightness or dryness. It massages well and has some light exfoliation benefits that make my nice and smooth and glowy in the mornings. I am on my second tube and I have enjoyed everything I have tried from ...

  20. High Quality Cleanser!

    Emily

    I got a deluxe sample of this product with a recent Adore Goodie Bag and I am in love! Its nourishing and gentle on my face but still effectively removes my sunscreen and make up. As you cleanse with it you can feel the quality of the product! 10/10

    Chiara

    I love this product my skin is left more hydrated and dewy!
  26. Great!

    Dan

    I received a sample of this cleanser with my recent order - it's great. It's probably a little out of my price range otherwise, but I love its exfoliating qualities while still being gentle enough to use everyday as my skin is a little sensitive and dry. My skin looks and feels a lot clearer when I use this cleanser without stripping my skin.
  27. effective

    kittykatkel

    I usually use Dermalogica or Murad's lactic acid cleansers, so I was interested to try this when I got it as a free sample. It's good, but probably not as intense as Dermalogica's IMO. My skin can take strong AHA's and retinols, so this might be good for someone new to AHAs.
  28. GAME CHANGER!!!

    SO841

    I have been struggling with hormonal breakouts around my jawline and have tried countless products and nothing appeared to work. I tried this cleanser and the serum and was completely blown away by how quick it cleared my skin and how it has kept any new breakouts from appearing. My skin can be sensitive at times and this cleanser is gentle enough for everyday use

    Cannot be without. ...

  29. Love it

    Georgi

    This cleanser is hydrating and gentle but gets the job done. I get occasional hormonal pimples and this has cleared them up and stopped them from coming back.
  30. Surprising result

    Andrea

    I tried this product only because a friend I trust recommended it. I have always used a natural cleanser before now. The Dermalist cleanser is really light and I wondered when first applying if it would be effective. Nothing to worry about it!!! Left my skin feeling clean, light and fresh. No residue whatsoever and soft as anything. No mean feat when you're 51 years old!!! Highly rate.
  31. Best cleanser I have used!

    Claire

    Been using this product for months now and it is amazing. My skin feels super clean and the only time I have had breakouts has been near my period, but they are much better than what they were!

  32. Best cleanser I have used!

    Claire

    Love this so much! Been using it for a couple of months and its the best cleanser I have ever used! The only time I get break outs is around the time I have my period and the breakouts so away heaps quicker with this product and they are not as bad. Works even better with the wand!
  33. Soft and Refreshing

    Rielly

    At first I didn't think much of this cleanser. It didn't froth up and didn't feel like it was cleaning my skin at all. After removing it from my skin, it felt really fresh and super soft! I'm so glad I received this as a sample cause it's worth a try.
  34. MY HOLY GRAIL CLEANSER

    Isabel

    I've been using this cleanser for about six months now having heard about it on the Podcast and read the reviews and I'm OBSESSED!!!

  35. Water and average

    Pechoch

    Sorry Dermalist, I’m not impressed. This cleanser is really watery, just runs off your face and doesn’t pack much of a punch. I didn’t feel it was giving me much of a clean and with regards to being hydrating, I don’t think it stays put long enough to make any difference to the skin’s hydration levels . Not for me, and certainly not worth the price point in my opinion.
  36. okay product

    lil

    when i brought this cleanser and opened it i was speechless it had the perfect constancy like a milk gel and wasnt an overwhelming smell.later on trying out the product on my face it didnt work very well nothing came of my face and it become quite irritating.
  37. Meh

    Jess

    Got a sample of this with my order, was excited to try as I had heard about it on the Beaty IQ podcast. Wasn’t anything exiting, doesn’t remove make up so you’ll need to use micellar water first, might be a good option for anyone with sensitive sling but I’d go PCA creamy cleanser over this any day.
  38. Super Soft Skin!

    Rielly

    This cleanser left my skin super soft and silky with no tight feeling. It doesn't foam up too much, but my skin feels super refreshed. Next time I'm in the market for a new cleanser I'll seriously look into this one! I received this product as a sample.
  39. Really liking this

    Really liking this

    I'm really enjoying this cleanser. Its not drying at all and leaves my skin feeling nice and clean but not stripped. Better as a second or morning cleanse.
  40. Nice

    Q

    Easily removes my make-up and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. Really good cleanser.
  41. Lovely and gentle

    Gigi

    I gave this to my mum and she loves it. She has mature and sensitive skin and this was very gentle on her face. She is very active and sporty and wears a lot of sports-grade SPF that can be stubborn to get off and this cleanser cuts through all grease and grime and leaves her feeling fresh.
  42. Great for Combo skin

    Sham

    Got this as a sample. I have combo skin. Sometimes it gets oily, this cleanses thoroughly and doesn't strip the skin.
  43. Not the best

    N

    Not happy with how much I paid for this cleanser- it is not effective in washing off makeup, even after 2 cleanses.
  44. Best cleanser Ive ever had!

    Nad

    Love love love this cleanser!! It works well with the Skinwand, leaving my skin hydrated and plump. Definitely the best cleanser Ive tried, and will keep using. Highly recommended!
  45. New favourite!

    Bek

    I’m one of those people who buys a different cleanser every time I run out. Well, not anymore. I’m obsessed with this one! I’ve been using it for less than a week and the usual texture around my chin is already improving. I have dry, irritable skin and this is lovely to use! Leaves my face feeling clean but not stripped and gentle enough to use daily. It also smells divine! I’m already wanted to t...

It also doesn’t dry out my skin like previous products I’ve ...

    I’ve finally found my go to cleanser.
    I always always use an oil cleanser to remove my makeup, sunscreen etc at the end of the day therefore I have been on the lookout for a cleanser that didn’t strip my skin and benefited my skin as my follow up and morning cleanser. This is it. It doesn’t strip your skin but there is a slight grit to it that feels almost like an exfoliant. It is expensive ...

  48. My holy grail

    Manda

    As someone with oily skin, I actually love a hydrating cleanser and this is it. I use this as my morning cleanse and my skin looks so plump after using. It's really gentle, does exactly what it says. Love love love!
  49. Awesome cleanser

    Leonie

    Love this cleanser - very effective but gentle exfoliation. Definitely notice skin texture appears smoother after use.
    The smell isn't particularly nice but it's not bad either.
    I would probably purchase again.
  50. Gentle lactic oil cleanser

    Davina

    Love this oil based cleanser. It’s gentle and hydrating just like it says but it was also a great intro for me to my first lactic cleanser. Tingles just enough to know it’s doing its thing but is also so mild it doesn’t cause any irritation to my sensitive skin. My only minor criticism would be that it doesn’t always feel like it washes off completely, without the assistance of a cloth or a double...

  52. Instantly Obsessed

    Char

    I received a sample with my last order, and I was so impressed after the first use! My skin felt baby soft and oil free, but still very plump and hydrated. First experience with lactic acid in my skincare routine, I’ll be purchasing a full sized bottle ASAP!
  53. Can notice a change within 24 hours

    Caity

    I honestly could not wait to use this product and it did not disappoint. It made a clear change in the texture of the skin after one wash and I have not looked back since getting it
  54. Hydrating

    Jayde

    I knew this cleanser would be pricey the minute I got a sample it was in the cutest little mini bottle. Felt absolutely amazing on my skin. It felt like a mixture of cleanser and oil when applying. So hydrating. Skin feels silky after. Would be good for dry skin!
  55. Absolutely in love!

    Marie

    I’ve used multiple cleansers that claim they are ‘gentle’ and for sensitive skin however have found most tend to strip the skin leaving me feeling clean but a bit dry. This cleanser is amazing and has blown me away with how gentle yet effective it is. It is oil based and natural and leaves my skin clear, clean and hydrated. I wear sunscreen and mineral makeup and this gets all of that off without ...

    Mani

    it is a very nice light cleanser that removes dirt from the face very effectively. i got it as a sample and i liked it. it did work for my aged skin and did not dry it out.
  57. Disappointing

    Sonya

    This cleanser does not remove makeup well. I decided to follow up my cleansing with Alpha H liquid gold and applied this with a cotton pad. I was horrified when i saw how much makeup was on the cotton pad!
  58. Perfect

    Katie

    I was expecting just a cleanser, similar to all the other brands I've used with something slightly different but at the end of the day, just a cleanser. I can tell you, Dermalist delivers something much more superior. I have dry & oily sensitised, acne prone skin, it balances it perfectly, helps heal any breakouts and makes my skin feel silky and plump. I cannot fault it.
  59. A friendly cleanser

    Kristina

    I have been using this cleanser for a week now (part of my 2-step night cleanse) and I have to say, I'm in love. The surface of my skin has become so soft and I can actually feel the difference in texture. It's not a foaming cleanser, which is a new thing for me, but it does almost more than expected. It's calming, clearing and a delight for my skin. I'm usually quite tight and dry after my second...

    Jenny

    I have used this cleanser for over a month now and I think it is fabulous.
    It has a light pleasant sent and is super creamy. It dose a great job of cleansing the skin and leaving it feeling super hydrated. The lactic acid has really made my skin appear smoother and refined in the short time I have used it.
    I will be buying this product again!!

My skin still felt tight and like this product actually zapped the moisture from my skin. This...

  63. Simply a dream

    Erika

    This cleanser is now my go to after trying dozens of products that always left my skin irritated. It feels silky smooth when you apply it and that feeling remains even after you rinse it off. It removes all my makeup without leaving me with that uncomfortable 'tight' feeling on my skin.
  64. Fantastic

    MS

    My skin loves this cleanser. It has a pleasant tingling effect. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and calm. It has an interesting fragrance a bit like Christmas pudding but I don't mind it.
  65. Did not clean my skin

    Vanessa

    I did not feel like this cleaned my skin at all. I wear minimal makeup (I just mix some sunscreen and BB Cream in my hands and apply), and this did not remove my makeup at all. I had to double cleanse with Dermafoliant to actually remove all makeup and feel 'clean' afterwards. I would not recommend this product.
  66. Tingling delight

    EliseB

    So far, so good! Love the sensation on my skin, feels like it is actually doing something. Purchased after reading the Adore article recommendations and I am happy with results thus far
  67. Excellent clean

    Anthea

    A beautiful gentle cleanser. Not harsh but cleanses thoroughly. Nice scent also.
  68. Fantastic face wash

    Jackie

    This is a great gentle wash that leaves skin feeling smooth but does not overly exfoliate or dry the skin out. Also removes make up well. I will definitely buy this again!
  69. Obsessed!

    Bon

    My skin feels so clean after using this cleanser. It really cleans without stripping my skin of its natural oils. It has helped with my redness too. I'm obsessed!
  70. Amazing

    Lydia

    I have dry, eczema prone skin. I get the occasional pimple, but do have clogged pores on my chin and nose.

    This is so softening and I started having a few small pimples after using it, but then they went away after a few days and my skin seemed really bright and plump after! So it was as if the cleanser was cleaning everything out of my system.

    Whilst I still use a makeup...

  71. Amazing!

    Lauren

    This is my new go to cleanser. I love how gentle it is, but also has a bit of grunt with the lactic acid. Perfect if you have sensitive skin that needs a bit of brightening. Definitely repurchasing.
  72. LOVE!!

    Gabby

    I was keen to give this a try when it came out and boy was I impressed! I have very dry sensitive that is acne prone. I'm not usually a fan of creamy cleansers, but this is magical. It left my skin feeling super soft and fresh without drying it out. After using it with Dermalists exfoliant my skin just felt incredible, and my serums just glided on my skin. Definitely worth every cent!
  73. Expert recommendation

    Melinda

    Bought this based on a Beauty IQ read, and sometimes it's really worth listening to the experts! Great cleanser - I use as second step in a double cleanse, but definitely gentle enough, yet effective enough on its own. I get a slight tingle - just enough to know the the fruit acids are working!
  74. feels good

    Nita

    Have only be using it for a few days and my skin does feel good after cleansing. It's more expensive than other brands.
  75. Good but nothing to rave about

    Beth87

    I have been using this cleanser for a week now and I don't see a remarkable improvement. It's not a foaming cleanser but it's ok. No better then olay from the supermarket though... while I like it and don't have anything negative to say, I wouldn't call it life changing
  76. Who knew a cleanser could be this good?!?!!

    Tarsh (Adore Beauty Staff)

    My opinion of cleansers has always been pretty little to be honest, I mean how effective can something be that is barely on the skin and is literally gone in 60 seconds but boy, did this cleanser prove me wrong!! In the past I've always opted for gentle cleansers as I'm vary of using anything exfoliating on the daily, but this baby is gentle enough for every day use and in just two weeks this beau...

    Joanna - Adore Beauty Staff

    Okurrr this cleanser is NICE. She's gentle, she's effective, she's suitable for sensitive skin. She's a TINY bit gritty, but not enough to aggravate my rosacea, yet enough to feel like my skin is gently resurfaced.
  78. So so perfect for dry skin

    Sam - Adore Beauty Staff

    I have dry/dehydrated skin that can be quite sensitive and introducing this cleanser to my routine has done wonders for my skin! It's gentle but does a really good job of exfoliating my skin and prepping it for my serums and moisturisers. After using every third day for 2 weeks
    my skin was noticeably brighter and smoother. It's a real game-changer!

    Liz - Adore Beauty Staff Member

    Cleansers, amiright? Never exciting, never really move the needle on your skincare regimen. Until I tried this baby!! Never has my skin felt smoother, cleaner and yet hydrated. Products I put on afterwards suddenly became extra effective. Birds sang.
