the art of cleansing

at dermal essentials, we've been perfecting the science of skincare since 1977. as a women-run, family-owned business nestled in walnut  creek, we understand that the foundation of any effective skincare routine is a proper cleanse. it's not just about washing away the day; it's about setting the stage for your skin's renewal & daily protection. 

the importance of a proper cleanse 

cleansing is essential to keeping your skin healthy & vibrant. without this crucial step, even the most potent serums & moisturizers will struggle to penetrate & perform effectively. it's a common misconception that "squeaky clean" equals properly cleansed skin. in reality, the best facial cleansers respect your skin's natural balance while thoroughly removing impurities. 

embracing the double cleanse 

double cleansing is the latest approach to attaining a deeper clean in preparation for your facial serums, creams & masks. double cleansing isn't just about repeating the act of washing your face. it's about switching up what you're washing it with to achieve a deeper clean. with a lot of skin types it requires two separate types of cleansers to wash your face. double cleansing tackles both surface & deep-down impurities. people with sensitive skin, rosacea & eczema are not good candidates for double cleansing.

double cleansing works best at night & doesn’t serve much of a purpose in the morning. that’s because a morning cleanser doesn’t involve removing make-up & sunscreen product residue as it does at the end of the day. washing with a gentle cleanser in the morning is perfect.

the first facial cleanser in this two-step routine should be an oil-infused cleanser such as our revive anti-aging facial cleanser. oil-infused cleansers are effective in removing dirt, residual make-up, sunscreen & oil. 

the second facial cleanser should be water-based such as our clean 0.4% salicylic acid facial cleanser or our clarify 2% salicylic acid facial cleanser. water based cleansers remove any remaining oil & debris from your first cleanse & leave your skin ready to absorb & benefit from the skincare products you apply afterward.

we also offer a full range of the best acne cleansers including our non-irritating, micronized USP grade benzoyl peroxide anti-bacterial cleansers
clear 5% clear 10% . in addition we offer our pumice cleanser a non-drying benzoyl peroxide acne cleanser.

at dermal essentials, we believe that achieving beautiful skin starts with the basics. our thoughtfully formulated facial cleansers transform your daily wash into a luxurious ritual that your skin will thank you for. it's not just about cleaning; it's about nurturing your skin's health & vitality.
