Special Cleansing Gel

Special Cleansing Gel is one of Dermalogica's original products, a foaming face wash built on quillaja saponaria (soap bark) instead of harsher sulfates. Lavender and lemon peel oils give it a mild scent, and the formula cleans thoroughly without leaving skin tight afterward. It's been part of the brand's core lineup for decades.
