not a good value
I only use a little product at a time so it lasts a long time. I am very disappointed that this changed color. I still had about a third of the bottle left when the color changed and I was not sure if it was ok to use so I threw it out. It was fine in the beginning.
Thank you for your feedback

I have bad skin. I know, everyone says that... but I mean it. From age 14 to 22 I had acne and now (at age 28) I still battle pimples, large pores, and oily skin. Plus, I'm allergic to some random synthetic stuff (mostly in shampoos and conditioners) and allergic reactions have made my skin super sensitized. I'd nearly given up on anything that promised to reduce redness AND keep my skin clear. That was until I stumbled upon the UltraCalming line. I honestly believe it will work for most people, especially as I've tried nearly every "adult acne" product at Sephora not to mention the regular brands like Aveeno, Clearasil, and Clean & Clear. If this sounds like you, but you still were having issues (either your skin was breaking out or really irritated), then I'd definitely recommend Dermalogica's UltraCalming line.

This cleanser works great, though seems weird at first due to not mixing it with water so that it seems maybe a little greasy. But don't worry, it won't feel that way after you wash it off! I use it at night, followed by 
Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist 6 fl oz.  and then  Dermalogica UltraCalming Serum Concentrate - 1.7 oz . However, at night, I skip the  Dermalogica UltraCalming Barrier Repair, 1-oz  (which I use in the mornings instead of the serum concentrate). I don't mind the smell, though it isn't flowery or necessarily pleasant (maybe a little astringent). This regimen has cleared up my skin (actually better than I expected considering how gentle the cleanser is) and almost totally evened out my skin tone (nearly ZERO rosacea!). I understand everyone is different and so would recommend purchasing the  Dermalogica The Ultra Calming Treatment Kit 5 piece  before investing in the full-size products. Or, if you're close to a Dermalogica salon or retailer, they're usually very generous with samples!

Great skincare product! Absolutely love it. It makes my face feel super clean and vibrant. I recommend this product to anyone with dry or sensitive skin, both of which I suffer from. It's so soothing. I have noticed an exceptionally less dry face and will continue to use this product until I find something that compares. It's much better to buy it on Amazon than at your dermatologist or a skin care retailer.
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013
Dermalogica products have really helped my skin - the Ultracalming line has nearly eliminated all the pinkness that I usually have (from Rosacea) and now, when I do get a bit pink, it's much less and I've got stuff to clear it up faster. I can't say that it's just the cleanser all by itself that has made the difference - there are a lot of items in the line to choose from. My personal experience was that I wasn't getting the kind of moisture I needed for my skin with just what was offered in this line, so I use Active Moisture or Skin Smoothing Cream, depending upon the season. But year-round, and daily, the Ultracalming Cleanser is the most important part of taking care of my skin. Highly recommend.

I bought this by accident. I meant to purchase the "Special Cleansing" gel but must have overlooked. This is one of those creamy/lotioney cleansers.... much like Mary Kay. I personally enjoy the experience of a lather and this does not deliver though I will say that it seems to cleanse just the same but forget it if you're trying to remove makeup.

After having tried every expensive face wash and drugstore cleansers I have found this to be the best! I have been using this gentle cleanser for many years. It is mild enough to even take off eye makeup. I keep it in the shower and use an ayate cloth to wipe it off my face. People always complement me on my skin. Love this product!! You only need a small amount, about the size of a quarter so it lasts a long time. It's on the expensive side but worth every penny.

I've tried so many eye makeup removers that irritate my eyes or are so drying. This does the job. It takes a few washes to remove other facial makeup but this product is very gentle if you have sensitive skin.
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018
Love this cleanser! I have sensitive skin and this cleanser is mild yet cleans deeply. I used to get blemishes due to dry skin quite a bit and I am in my 50's. Now, my skin looks so much better and I hardly ever get any blemishes or dry patches. I use this with the other ultra calming skin products from Dermalogica and get great results.
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2016
Had high hopes for this cleanser, but I find it's not effective for actually cleaning my skin! I don't wear a lot of make up and yet when I wash my face with this product there is always residual make up on the towel I dry my face with and on my skin. I have to do a second wash with something else to completely my skin....disappointing

5.0 out of 5 stars Le prix fait peur, mais vous tenez 4-5 mois avec !
Reviewed in France on February 21, 2024
C'est vrai que le prix peut faire un peu peur. Mais ça reste un prix super compétitif par rapport aux autres nettoyants du visage, souvent de moins bonne qualité.

Car oui, ce produit est un des meilleurs du marché, et c'est génial qu'il soit sur Amazon. La texture est parfaite et son efficacité est réelle. Il s'agit d'un produit qu'utilisent beaucoup de mannequins parce qu'il est réputé ultra-fiable et efficace.

Dans les milieux professionnels, il est fréquemment utilisé comme deuxième nettoyant, après le premier. Oui je vous l'accorde, ça fait beaucoup de nettoyer deux fois. Mais il est également excellent pour un nettoyage simple du visage.

L'avantage de ce produit, c'est qu'il est adapté à tous types de peau. Note importante, il contient des huiles essentielles.

J'ai testé énormément de nettoyants de visage (une dizaine, de moyenne à haute qualité), et celui-ci est un des meilleurs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Product!
Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2020
I was recommended this cleaner from a friend after experiencing a horrible breakout (I'm in my 30s) and it really helped clear my breakout! It also helped with my dry skin! It's very gently, but also very effective. Will very likely repurchase once this runs out. The bottle is a big bottle so it will definitely last me awhile. It's an excellent product for the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS. EXCELLENT!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2015
Always excellent. I have been using this product for 6 years due to the positive change it gives to my skin. I have had dry skin and eczema since I was 2 years old, I cannot use soap or bubble bath due to my skins' sensitivity, even just water on my face makes it dry. I have tried many different skin products without success due to the harmful ingredients in it that end up making my dry skin worse. Apart from prescription creams (which I find clog my skin), Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser works the best for my type of skin, I love how it makes my skin look and feel. HIghly recommend. Expensive but worth it.
Was also delivered very quickly.

Reviewed in Canada on November 16, 2018
I have hormonal acne and combination skin. This stuff is awesome, my skin has gotten so much better since using all dermalogica products. This was recommended by their professionals at the storefront but it’s cheaper here. It reminds me of cetaphil, which didn’t make my acne worse.
