When we think of soap, we typically associate it with good things. It cleanses away dirt and grime, so what’s not to like? Well, while soap is a great choice for washing our hands, it’s not necessarily the best choice for washing our face. Yes, seriously! For those of us with dry, easily-irritated skin, soap-free is the way to be, and we can start with this cleanser!
The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is adored for its ability to soothe sensitive skin. It’s an ultra-gentle gel formula that foams up when we mix it with water, and it’s capturing hearts everywhere. Even Crazy Rich Asians star Awkwafina is a huge fan!

“I have really dry skin,” Awkwafina told Today. “I went from using basic CVS-brand face wash, but now I use Dermalogica. I like that squeaky-clean feeling.” Not every cleanser is the same, and now that she’s made the switch, we’re sure she’s never going to turn back to drugstore brands!
This cleanser may be soap-free, but it’s not lather-free! It contains the naturally-foaming Quillaja saponaria, also known as soapbark, so we can still enjoy the luxurious feeling of bubbles on our skin. These bubbles however claim to not strip or dry out our skin like regular soaps! It claims to leave our skin’s natural moisture balance intact. Skincare goals!
Over 1,000 shoppers are loving this cleanser so much, they’re saying that they’re now “customers for life” and “won’t buy anything else.” They’re commenting that “the scent is so fresh,” and it’s worth noting that there are no artificial fragrances added! Others love how it keeps their adult acne at bay, leaving skin “clear and refreshed!”

This Dermalogica cleanser is both lightweight and mild, so we can use it every day. It claims to remove impurities, toxins and debris, but also soothe and calm skin with ingredients like balm mint and lavender extracts! We can definitely see why people are commenting that it smells amazing!
We already know this cleanser is fragrance-free, but it’s dye-free, gluten-free, vegan and cruelty-free, too! It checks off every box on our list with ease.
If we’re really into the idea of this cleanser and are inspired to make over our entire skincare routine, Dermalogica has just the thing. This cleanser is actually part of the brand’s four-piece Healthy Skin Essentials set! Also included in this set are the Active Moist lotion, the PreCleanse Balm and the Daily Microfoliant. This set is a great choice for anyone looking for a serious deal, as it’s valued at $111 but priced at only $81!
Whether we’re getting a whole set or just the Special Cleansing Gel, we know everyone is going to love using this face wash morning and night. Reviewers say it’s “a true hero” to them, and that’s just one way to describe it. Our minds were leaning toward “heaven-sent,” but the point comes across either way. This gentle cleanser is a must-have, and as soon as it touches our skin, it will feel like fate!
If Awkwafina can make the switch away from drugstore brands, so can we. She’s not only relatable, but beautiful, and we trust her skincare advice to no end, so let’s get cleansing!
