Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel Refill — Gentle Foaming Face Wash Pouch, Soap-Free & Eco-Friendly

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel Refill is a soap-free, gentle foaming facial cleanser refill that removes dirt and excess oil while preserving the skin’s natural moisture balance.

This refill pouch replaces a standard bottle of Dermalogica's cult-favorite Special Cleansing Gel, offering the same lightweight, clarifying gel in a waste-reducing format. Formulated for all skin types, the gel produces a refreshing lather that rinses clean without leaving a tight or dry feeling. With calming botanical extracts and a touch of citric acid for mild exfoliation, it helps skin look smoother and feel comfortable after each use.

How does this refill match the original Special Cleansing Gel?

The refill contains the identical soap-free gel formula designed to cleanse without stripping. You get the same scent profile, foaming action, and active ingredients as the original bottle, simply packaged to cut down on plastic usage. Transfer into your Dermalogica dispenser and use as you would the original product.

Will this cleanser work for my skin type and concerns?

Yes — the gel is formulated for all skin types, including oily, combination, normal, and sensitive skin.
