"A milky cleanser for drier skin conditions to gently lift impurities and remove make-up. Water-soluble, this soothing emulsion rinses off easily, leaving the skin refreshingly clean, soft and supple. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.” – www.dermalogica.com.au.
I had been using this no-name cheap cream cleanser I’d picked up during my Hong Kong holiday, thinking that, since it was a cream cleanser, it should be ok for my skin. After about two weeks’ use, my t-zone became dry and started peeling and I was walking around in the middle of winter as if I had sunburn, refraining the urge to scratch at my red, itchy skin. I went to my local chemist and bought the first thing the lady behind the counter recommended – Dermalogica’s Essential Cleansing Solution.

I didn’t wait until I got home but ducked into the nearby toilets, wet my face and slathered the cream cleanser liberally all over my face.
VERDICT : The cleanser is thick, rich, very creamy and INSTANTLY soothed the itchiness. For good measure, I continued to massage the cleanser onto my skin for a full minute. After three days of use, day and night, the dryness and redness of my t-zone were gone.
The cleanser is quite gentle so, for those who are used to foam-based cleansers, will feel like their skin isn’t being cleansed at all. It leaves no tingling sensation, my skin never feels dry or taut afterwards but it leaves it feeling clear and very smooth.
For AUD$79.00 for a 500ml pump bottle, many would say it’s not cheap (unless you go to www.strawberrynet.com and pay AUD$55 for the same size bottle) but it’s a price I’m willing to pay for 5 months’ worth of use. I’ve been using the Essential Cleansing Solution for about 3 years now and I hardly ever break out. I highly recommend it to anyone with dry skin looking for an effective but gentle milk-based cleanser.
RATING : 5/5
