Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanse Trio Bundle

A gentle three-step cleanse for sensitive skin: melt away the day, wash with a calming cleanser, then polish with a soothing milky exfoliant.

This trio is a gentle cleansing and exfoliating routine aimed at sensitive and easily irritated skin: Precleanse Oil to melt away makeup and SPF, the UltraCalming Cleanser to wash and soothe, and the Daily Milkfoliant, a calming oat and coconut milk exfoliant that polishes without harshness. Together they make a soothing double cleanse plus gentle daily exfoliation, ideal for skin that finds stronger routines too much.

At a Glance

·       Gentle three-step cleanse: oil precleanse, calming cleanser and a soothing milky exfoliant

·       Removes makeup and SPF, then cleanses and polishes without stripping

·       Daily Milkfoliant is the gentlest of Dermalogica's daily exfoliants, suited to sensitive skin

·       A good choice for sensitive, easily irritated or reactive skin

Gentle Cleansing for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin still benefits from a proper cleanse and gentle exfoliation, but harsh products can leave it tight, red or reactive. This trio keeps things calm: the oil precleanse lifts away makeup and SPF without scrubbing, the UltraCalming Cleanser washes while soothing the look of redness, and the Daily Milkfoliant polishes with mild AHA and BHA actives buffered by oat and coconut milk. The result is cleaner, smoother skin without the irritation that stronger routines can cause.

What Is in This Cleansing Trio

·       Precleanse Oil: a first-step cleansing oil that melts down makeup, SPF and excess oil so they rinse cleanly away

·       UltraCalming Cleanser: a gentle cream-gel cleanser designed for sensitive skin, that cleans while helping to soothe the look of redness and irritation

·       Daily Milkfoliant: a calming vegan powder exfoliant with gentle AHAs and BHA, plus soothing oat and coconut milk, that polishes and smooths without harshness

A Soothing Routine for Reactive Skin

This trio is built for sensitive, easily irritated and reactive skin, though anyone who prefers a gentle routine will get on with it. The Milkfoliant is mild enough for daily use on most sensitive skin, and the UltraCalming Cleanser is one of Dermalogica's gentlest washes. If your skin is very reactive, start the exfoliant a couple of times a week and build up slowly.

Professional Skincare from Dermalogica

Dermalogica was founded by a skin therapist, and its UltraCalming range is designed specifically for sensitive skin. Buying the three together gives you a complete gentle cleanse-and-polish routine in one bundle.

One Practical Note

The Daily Milkfoliant is a powder you activate with water into a creamy foam, so the exfoliation is soft and milky rather than gritty, which is what makes it suitable for sensitive skin. A little goes a long way, so the trio lasts well even with regular use.

·       Step 1, evening: massage Precleanse Oil onto dry skin to melt makeup and SPF, then wet hands and rinse

·       Step 2: massage a small amount of UltraCalming Cleanser over the face, then rinse with lukewarm water

·       Step 3: tip about half a teaspoon of Daily Milkfoliant into damp hands, add water, work to a creamy foam and massage gently, then rinse

·       Use the full three-step cleanse in the evening; the calming cleanser alone usually suffices in the morning

·       Keep all three out of the eyes; rinse with water if any gets in

How Often Should I Exfoliate

The Daily Milkfoliant is gentle enough for daily use on most sensitive skin, but you do not have to use it every day. If your skin is very reactive, start two or three times a week and build up as it gets used to it. The Precleanse and UltraCalming Cleanser can be used daily. If skin feels tight or looks irritated, ease off the exfoliant.

Where This Fits in Your Routine

Cleansing comes first: oil, then calming cleanser, then the Milkfoliant. Follow with a soothing serum and moisturiser, and SPF every morning. Exfoliating in the evening is gentlest, leaving the morning routine simple and letting calming night-time products absorb into freshly polished skin.

What to Expect

Skin should feel clean, calm and comfortable, never tight or stripped. The smoother, more even look from gentle exfoliation builds over a couple of weeks. With sensitive skin especially, gentle and consistent beats frequent and aggressive, so resist the urge to over-exfoliate.

What Pairs Well With This Trio

A soothing, fragrance-light serum and a barrier-friendly moisturiser keep sensitive skin comfortable alongside gentle exfoliation, and a daily SPF protects freshly polished skin. Keeping the whole routine gentle is the key with reactive skin.

A Note on Sensitive Skin and Pregnancy

Everyone's skin is different, so a patch test on a small area is sensible if your skin is reactive, and you should stop if irritation occurs. This routine is designed to be gentle, but the Milkfoliant still contains mild exfoliating acids, so introduce it slowly if your skin is very reactive. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or managing a diagnosed skin condition, speak to your pharmacist or GP before starting a new routine.
