FOR CLEANER, SMOOTHER SKIN

  • Silky, non-stripping formulation
  • Vegan & Cruelty free
  • Australian made & owned
  • No Harsh Ingredients

Dermalist Ultra Hydrating Lactic Cleanser is like no other you have ever used. Uniquely formulated without any form of detergent, this oil-based cleanser uses emulsifiers to efficiently break down makeup, impurities and pollution to reveal skin that is perfectly pH balanced, beautifully soft and ultra-hydrated.

A combination of alpha-hydroxy acids (‘AHA’s’) work to breakdown dead skin cells and reduce pigmentation whilst Vitamin C, Vitamin E & Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) work to prevent premature ageing caused by environmental aggressors, resulting in a clearer, more youthful & luminous skin without irritation or inflammation.

This ultimate cleanser is perfect for dry, sensitive, oily, aging skin and those with redness and rosacea, leaving it looking and feeling cleaner, smoother, hydrated and more even toned. Barrier function is instantly improved & maintained for stronger, healthier looking skin.

Who is the Ultra Hydrating Lactic Acid Cleanser for?

The Ultra Hydrating Lactic Acid facial cleanser isn’t just for one skin type or one concern. It’s for anyone seeking intelligent skincare that feels effortless while still delivering remarkable results: 

  • Skin that feels truly clean without the tightness or dryness that often follows cleansing
  • Relief from dullness, uneven tone, or a lack of radiance despite a consistent routine
  • Calm and comfort for skin prone to redness, sensitivity, or post-treatment reactivity
  • A cleanser that goes beyond cleansing, supporting hydration, balance, and barrier health
  • An inclusive solution that adapts beautifully to all types of skin

How We’re Redefining Skincare with the Lactic Acid Cleanser

At Dermalist, we don’t believe that more steps equal better results. We believe in intelligent skincare that works harder – and our Ultra Hydrating Lactic Acid face wash is our philosophy in action.

Formulated by dermal experts, this product goes far beyond a simple cleanse. It purifies deep within the skin and lifts the stresses of the day – like makeup and excess oil – all while delivering gentle exfoliation, hydration, and barrier support in a single, streamlined step. 

Without ever stripping, this Lactic Acid Cleanser works in synergy with the skin to reset, calm, and rejuvenate. We haven’t opted for foaming agents or filler ingredients, just curated clinical actives and botanicals that work quietly to deliver transformative results. 

Why Choose a Lactic Acid-Based Face Wash? 

We chose to formulate a cleanser with lactic acid because it’s one of the rare actives that balances both renewal and restoration. It gently softens the appearance of uneven texture and dullness while delivering lasting hydration, making it perfect for sensitive, reactive, or post-treatment skin. 

We’ve paired our lactic acid cleanser with antioxidant-rich vitamins, biomimetic emulsifiers, and skin-strengthening niacinamide to support long-term skin health, not just surface-level results.

The First Step in a Refined Skincare Routine

We recommended using the Ultra Hydrating Lactic Acid facial cleanser as the first step in a refined, minimalist regimen. 

Whether you choose to complement it with the Age Defying Face Serum for lasting firmness and luminosity or the AHA Face Exfoliant for a refined texture and even deeper reset, this lactic acid-based face wash enhances every formula that follows, clearing the way for deeper absorption. 

Dermalist: Skincare Designed with Intention

Dermalist was created to challenge the noise of modern beauty. Our philosophy is simple: fewer steps, transformative results. We exist to redefine what professional skincare in Australia should be – intelligent, multi-functional, and scientifically refined – so you can restore clarity, protect the barrier, and support long-term skin health. 

Here’s what sets us apart: 

    • A skin-first approach that’s grounded in science
    • Evidence-backed actives delivered at effective doses
    • Purposeful formulations for elevated routines
  • Skincare designed with intention, not excess

Welcome to a better way to cleanse.

If you have Acne, it can be a disheartening experience. Many of us are suffering the emotional and physical effects of this confidence destroying condition. In fact, there are 633 million of us affected worldwide, making it the 8th most common disease globally. So, although this skin disorder can make us feel isolated and lonely, you are not alone.
