Conclusion
Dermalogica Precleanse and Dermalogica Micellar Prebiotic Precleanse are both first-step cleansers designed to remove makeup, impurities, and excess oil, but they differ in formulation and target skin types.
Precleanse is a deep-cleansing oil suitable for normal to oily skin, containing a blend of oils including borage seed, rice bran, and sunflower oil. It has a light oil texture and helps with spot clearing and oil control.
In contrast, Micellar Prebiotic Precleanse is a gentle, nourishing micellar milky cleanser formulated for dry to sensitive skin. It features a prebiotic blend, cotton seed protein, and oat milk, which help balance the skin's microbiome and boost moisture retention. The Micellar Prebiotic Precleanse has a light, creamy milky texture and is particularly effective at calming and soothing the skin while still providing cleansing benefits.
