What the gurus are saying

Experts split on whether Dermalogica Precleanse justifies its premium price as a pre-cleanse oil. Those who love it genuinely praise the formula for how effectively it removes excess oils before the main cleanse. However, others find the cost difficult to justify given the number of strong alternatives from K-beauty and drugstore brands that deliver similar results for significantly less. For those watching their budget, the alternatives may be the better choice.

"The Dermalogica Precleanse is a cleansing oil. It's not a new product, and I feel like it's just way too expensive for me to repurchase at this point. There are so many good K beauty cleansing oils and even drugstore cleansing oils, amazing options out there, that I feel you just don't need to pay this price, in my personal opinion."
