Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser

If your skin is so sensitive that even water makes it turn red you seriously need to try this cleanser. It is the only thing I have found that doesn't make my face feel like it is stinging or burning after a long day.

I use this every morning and it just takes the heat out of my face. I wake up with a lot of redness around my nose and cheeks and this seems to calm everything down before I put on my makeup.

The pump is great and doesn't get stuck which is nice when your hands are wet in the shower. It is a solid bottle that lasts a long time because you don't need a ton of product.

I love that it is sulfate-free and doesn't have any of those harsh detergents. It feels more like I am putting a soothing lotion on my face than a traditional soap.

I catch my husband using it after he gets too much sun in the garden. It is a great unisex product for anyone in the house who has a sensitive or dry complexion.

I noticed my skin barrier feels much stronger since I switched to this. I don't get those random itchy dry patches anymore and my face just looks much more quiet and less angry.

It has a very strange texture because it is more like a heavy cream or a gel that doesn't foam up at all. I was confused at first but my skin feels so much softer now that I am not stripping it with bubbles and soap.

Honestly I love that you can actually wipe this off with a cotton pad if your skin is too irritated for water. I used it that way after a bad sunburn and it was the only thing that didn't make me want to cry.

It is definitely not a heavy duty makeup remover so do not expect it to get off waterproof mascara. I use the precleanse first and then follow up with this to actually treat my sensitive skin.

I take this with me whenever I travel because my skin always freaks out in different climates. It keeps everything stable and hydrated no matter where I am.

The smell is very faint and clean, it just smells like oats and cucumbers. It is very relaxing and doesn't have any of those fake floral scents that usually make my skin break out in hives.

If you have reactive skin that gets red just by touching it you will love how gentle this is. It glides over the skin without any friction so you aren't tugging at your face.

The ginger and oat extracts in here are the real deal for soothing. You can actually feel your skin relaxing as you massage it in.

I bought the huge professional size because it is a better value and I know I am never going to stop using it. It is my absolute holy grail for keeping my skin calm.

A little bit goes a long way because the cream is quite thick. I just massage a nickel sized amount onto my dry face and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

It doesn't sting my eyes at all which is a huge plus. I can rub it all over my face and rinse it off without any blurring or irritation in my vision.

It leaves a very light protective film on the skin but not in a greasy way. It just feels like my natural oils aren't being sucked out of my pores.

My dermatologist recommended this because I have rosacea and it has been a total game changer. It doesn't cure the redness but it definitely stops it from getting worse during the cleansing step.

I noticed my moisturizer sinks in much better now. Because my skin isn't all inflamed and irritated from washing it can actually absorb the rest of my routine.

I love using this in the winter when the air is so dry and cold. It is the only thing that keeps me from getting those painful wind-burn flakes around my mouth.

It is a bit pricey for a cleanser but you are paying for the quality of the ingredients. My face is worth the extra ten dollars to not feel like it is on fire every night.

It is just a solid reliable product for anyone with difficult skin. If you are tired of cleansers that do too much and want something that just cleans and calms this is the one.
