How to use
Resistant skin – able to tolerate the product in it’s most potent form:
- Use morning and evening.
- Apply on dry skin. You may slightly damp your fingers to help with spreading. If you apply your cleanser on dry skin, you are able to circulate the cleanser over your eyes without burning or stinging.
- Keep the cleanser on for 3 minutes or longer.
- Remove the cleanser with a clean, lukewarm face cloth. This will also help to remove excess makeup and loose peeling skin.
Sensitive skin – not able to tolerate the product in it’s most potent form yet:
- Use only in the evening. Only rinse your face with clean water in the morning. If you have loose peeling skin, wipe your face with a lukewarm face cloth in the morning. This will help to remove this loose dead skin.
- Apply cleanser on wet face. This will help to neutralize the cleanser to decrease the potency. Do not apply over your eyes.
- Keep the cleanser on for 1 minute or shorter.
- Remove the cleanser with a clean, lukewarm face cloth. This will also help to remove excess makeup and loose peeling skin
Normal reactions that may occur include stinging or burning, skin peeling, or skin irritation. Follow the sensitive skin guidelines to manage initial irritation reaction.

I’ve used this cleanser on and off for the past 4 years. I always come to this one. It doesn’t strip my skin and leaves my skin feeling smooth without drying it out. I even use this as an ‘overnight exfoliator’ by double cleansing and leaving it on till morning… silky smooth. Only every now and then.

Great cleanser, not harsh at all. I can use it twice daily without it causing any dryness or irritation.

First time using this cleanser and I’m obsessed. I have used for about 2 weeks now and I can already see a difference in my skin texture. Always leave on for about 2 mins and you will see the results. I struggle with acne and have seen a significant improvement. Will stick to this cleanser.

Was a bit tingly at first but my skin got used to it. It cleanses and exfoliates well without leaving skin dry. Have definitely noticed a brightness since using this cleanser.

This is my favorite moisturizer and having had acne for most of my life, I have used them all. This moisturizes but does not cause break outs,
My skin looks amazing and I am getting compliments by everyone.
Definitely the best

Using this cleanser 2 weeks now , doesn’t dry out my skin , skin feels clean and hydrated . I have to use it a bit longer for me to notice any results though
Chrisna (verified owner) –
This product is just amazing. I went on leave and took a travel sized bottle from a different brand. I could see the difference within days of not using Dermexcel. Cannot go without this!

Excellent cleanser, which can also be used as a mask overnight. Love the new pump that comes with it.

The best cleanser that I have every used. It smooths your skin texture and handles breakouts without stripping its barrier.
Michelle (verified owner) –
Absolutely love this cleanser! I have tried so many but this is the best. Keeps breakouts away and shrinks my pores, won’t be without it again. Also amazing with my sensitive skin.
Bernice (verified owner) –
First time using this face wash and I will definitely be buying it again.
Skin feels great and no more breakouts
Michelle (verified owner) –
I have tried a few cleansers, But this is definitely the best one.
It exfoliates as it cleanses and cleans off all make up.
My skin is soft and clear after I’ve used it.
Definitely one of my favorite products

I am happy with DERMEXCEL’s products. Can’t really say at this stage how I feel about this cleanser as it is a new cleanser that I am trying. I generally have sensitive skin and a bit more dry. I have not yet had a reaction or that tight dry feeling, however, I only use it at night as per the instructions for sensitive skin. So far, so good but I cannot really 100% confirm the difference.

Love this, you apply, and only wash later on. All the while knowing that this wash is removing dirt. After rinsing your face this feels moist.
Romy (verified owner) –
So far I am enjoying this cleanser. It doesn’t leave your face feeling dry or tight. It has the right balance of exfoliators which makes my skin feel like a good polish.
Chrisna (verified owner) –
This is the first cleanser I have used that I feel really makes a difference to my skin’s condition. I very seldom get any serious breakouts since using. My skin is also more radiant and I don’t need to use any additional exfoliators. I have been using this for about 2 years and have no desire to try anything else, it does a great job!

Excellent product!
MS (verified owner) –
Really impressed with this cleanser, used Neostrata Exfoliating Wash before, which I couldn’t use daily, because after a few days it left skin feeling tight and dry. I use this once a day and love that it can be left on longer for a peel effect. Best cleanser ever for my combination skin.
Thabo (verified owner) –
Since using this cleanser all my ingrown hairs has vanished. It rinses clean and leaves your skin with a matte finish all day long.
Kim (verified owner) –
The BEST cleanser! Clears congestion, shrinks enlarged pores, prepares skin for other active serums. Super product!
Edrie (verified owner) –
My favourite cleanser of all time and the only one that I have now purchased on repeat. Leave it on for at least two minutes. My breakouts are better and skin feels hydrated after washing. No nasty squeaky clean stripped feeling.
Bernice (verified owner) –
I really love this product and have been using it for quite some time now! I use it twice a day and my skin has really never looked better and healthier … it has helped considerably overall and especially helped with my Oily T Zone area which now leaves my face fresh, clean and definitely glowing (not oily at all) … I’m very grateful to have this product recommended to me as I can definitely see a huge difference and positive improvement in my skin texture as well as the overall appearance !
A real gem and a definite recommendation !
Thank you x

Great product. I use it every evening, leave it for a few minutes before wiping it off with a cleansing sponge. Keeps breakouts at bay
Lorencia (verified owner) –
Very good cleanser that cleanse very good. No make-up left after using this cleanser. Love how you can leave it on once a week and let it work as a peel. Not irritating my skin at all
Annelia (verified owner) –
I’m rating 3 * due to the fact that my online skin assessment revealed that I should use this wash, but my skin is too oily with this wash.
Other than that no complaints!
GERDA (verified owner) –
For me I found this cleanser to be too intense… I could not use it twice a day and after a while I could not use it every day…
I gave the product to my niece and she loved it, it helped to clear her breakouts and made her skin less congested
Nadine (verified owner) –
Best cleanser I have ever purchased! My skin has improved substantially. My skin is definitely smoother and clearer.
Edrie (verified owner) –
Clears up my congestion and does not give my skin a dry feeling after cleansing. This is the best cleanser that I have used to date.
Mashudu (verified owner) –
My skin is prone to congestion and this gentle yet active cleanser has been a great help. It does not dry out the skin, and I love the fact that it is a local product.
Nicci (verified owner) –
Brilliant product! Use on dry skin and leave on for a few minutes for extra bang for your buck! With only 5% glycolic acid didn’t except such a good active effect but love this product and goes very far .
Chrisna –
Makes such a difference to prevent congestion, especially if you leave it on for a few minutes twice a day. Do not need additional exfoliation anymore.
Bernadette (verified owner) –
Good cleanser, great exfoliation. A little goes a long way! Leaves my skin soft and refreshed.
Doreen (verified owner) –
This is one of the best products I ever used. Will never use something else. I am 54 and all my friends wants to know what is my secret? My face looks radiant, and refreshed.
Amoré (verified owner) –
Love this cleanser as a second cleansing step to help with exfoliation. Feels like it really makes a difference with unclogging my pores.
Jesteyn (verified owner) –
Just love this face wash. My skin feels so soft and refreshed. Definitely the best product I have used so far.
Doreen (verified owner) –
I use this product every day. I leave it on for 2 minutes and just wipe it of with a warm face cloth! My skin never looked better, and I used a few products in my time, but so far this is the best product ever!!
Lindi (verified owner) –
I have sensitive skin and use this cleanser twice a week as an exfoliant. I leave it on for few minutes and it makes my skin feeling smooth. It has active ingredients in Glycolic acid, Salicylic acid, and Mandelic acid and it helps for ageing. I will repurchase
Sithokozile (verified owner) –
I’ve been using this cleanser for 2 weeks and although I love how active clean it leaves my skin feeling I don’t enjoy the stringiness/ gooieness of the product.
Mosa (verified owner) –
Really good “active” cleanser, works even better when left on the skin for a few minutes. There is a bit of a tingle but no uncomfortable burning sensations. Would rate it higher if it lathered a bit more.
