What is the pH level of Dermalogica cleansers?

The pH level of Dermalogica cleansers is typically formulated to be around 4. This slightly acidic level is crucial for maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, which is more acidic than neutral. The skin’s natural pH generally ranges from around 4.5 to 5.5, which helps inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria while supporting the skin’s natural microbiome.

A pH of 4 in cleansers helps ensure that they effectively remove impurities and makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils or disrupting the acid mantle. This is particularly important for those with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea, as they can benefit from products that are gentle and non-irritating.

In contrast, options with a pH of 7, 6, or 5 would be either neutral or only mildly acidic, which might not provide the optimal effectiveness for maintaining a healthy skin environment and could potentially lead to issues such as irritation or dryness over time.
