Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser for Sensitive Skin, 8.4 fl oz — pH‑Balanced Non-Foaming Gel-Cream, Soothes Redness

Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser is a pH-balanced, non-foaming gel-cream that gently cleanses sensitive or reactive skin while calming redness and strengthening the skin barrier.

If your skin flares easily from harsh cleansers, this Ultracalming formula offers a milder alternative designed to remove impurities without stripping or irritating. The lightweight gel-cream texture rinses or wipes away cleanly, leaving skin feeling soothed rather than tight. It’s formulated to be part of a gentle routine that prioritizes barrier support and immediate comfort after cleansing.

How does this cleanser reduce redness and discomfort?

The formula focuses on calming actives and barrier-supporting ingredients to soothe reactivity at the surface. Instead of foam or strong detergents, it uses a mild surfactant base and botanical soothers that help reduce visible redness and the sensation of heat or tightness.

• Non-foaming gel-cream minimizes mechanical irritation during cleansing
• Soothing botanical extracts help cool and calm sensitized skin
• pH-balanced formula preserves the skin’s natural protective acid mantle
• Rinses or wipes off cleanly to avoid residue that can provoke flare-ups

Will it strip my skin or leave residue?

No — the Ultracalming Cleanser is designed to remove oils, makeup, and pollutants without over-drying. Its gentle surfactants and emollient-rich texture lift impurities while maintaining moisture balance, and the product rinses away or can be removed with a soft tissue for minimal friction.

• Hydrating gel-cream texture that doesn’t leave a filmy finish
• Formulated to maintain hydration and avoid tightness after use
• Suitable for both rinse-off and quick wipe-off routines

How should I incorporate it into my daily skincare routine?

Use Ultracalming Cleanser as the first step after optional oil-based PreCleanse. Apply using gentle upward strokes over face and neck, then rinse or wipe away. Follow with a calming mist and a moisturizer designed for sensitive skin to lock in comfort.

• Apply after PreCleanse to remove final traces of impurities
• Massage gently; avoid scrubbing or harsh cloths
• Finish with Ultracalming Mist and a barrier-repair moisturizer

Is this appropriate for skin that reacts to many products?

Yes — it’s formulated specifically for reactive, easily sensitized skin types. The product minimizes common triggers like sulfates and heavy fragrances, focusing instead on calming and protective support that reduces the chance of further irritation.

• Free from harsh foaming agents and known irritants common in stronger cleansers
• Works well on dry, dehydrated, and redness-prone complexions
• Gentle enough for daily use as part of a sensitive-skin regimen

Who is this for: Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser is crafted for people whose skin reacts to conventional cleansers — including those with sensitive, reactive, or dryness-prone skin who need effective cleansing without irritation. It suits anyone seeking a calming, pH-conscious first step in a gentle skincare routine, whether you wear light makeup daily or simply want a kinder daily wash that supports barrier health.
