recommendation for a cleanser (to replace Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser)

circulartriangle

Hello from a long-time lurker!

I'm looking for recommendations for a cleanser if anyone can help, please? I've been using Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser for nearly a year, and really like it but it's SO expensive that I just can't justify buying it again. So, what reasonably priced/bargainous cleansers do you like?

My skin is combination, prone to blocked pores and blemishes so usually I look for non-comedogenic products. I'm nearly 34 so am starting to get a bit paranoid about ageing - and have slightly sensitive skin. Not difficult at all am I? I used to use Olay Refreshing Face Wash which was ok but dried my skin I think, as my face was always tight afterwards. So maybe something creamier would be better...

Any ideas for a not-so-expensively-clean face would be very gratefully received! Thanks for reading!

By the way, I'm not looking for something like the Dermalogica one, just any decent and not too expensive cleanser, any recs very gratefully received!

I love the Dermalogica cleanser, too! I recently got a sample of MooGoo's Milky Wash cleanser, though, and I'm a convert. It's £11.90, but that's for 500ml. Not cheap, but considerably cheaper than Dermalogica.

I love the cleanser as it's not at all drying, and my skin looks so much clearer now.

Hope you find something to suit, OP.

Would you say this can take off make up or is it 'just' a face wash please? It says on their website it can be used as a cleanser but I wonder what you thought? Also, have you tried any other of their products? thank you x

I also love dermalogica! I also like lush products though - which are generally cheaper - my favourites are angels on bare skin (cleanser) https://www.lush.co.uk/category/275 and celestial/british nanny moisturisers https://www.lush.co.uk/category/229
If you pop into one of the shops they'll often give samples out for you to try before you buy too.

The MooGoo milky wash certainly takes my make up off. I don't wear loads, maybe some BB cream and a little translucent powder, but it's working fine for me.
I use the Udder Cream for my itchy, dry skin and it's quite soothing. I'm just starting on the sample of shampoo that came with my last order, but I think it's a bit early to decide if I want to buy the full size. x

Do you like your cleanser to be fragrance free? To be honest I find the Simple cleanser is ok and it's only about £3 :money: You could use a scrub every few days or so to help remove any build-up

Avene. Not cheap as chips, but cheaper than dermologica. Gentle, effective, easily available.

I agree with the Avene cleanser, not been using it long but really like it so far.
