Dermalogica anti-bac skin wash is best used on blemish prone skin. It is a foaming, antibacterial facewash which deeply cleanses the skin of excess oil and impurities with drying it. It contains Triclosan which helps remove bacteria and Salicylic Acid disolves dead skin cells- that last part makes it sound very harsh, but it is really not! It also conatins balm mint, coneflower and camphor to help smooth and purify the skin. It does not have any artificial fragrances or colour.
Dermalogica say that you should work the gel into a lather and apply to your dampened face and throat. You should then rinse with warm water and repeat for 'professional results'. They then say for best results this should be followed by the multi active toner and moisturiser (please see my other reviews).
I use this product every day along with the toner and moisturiser. As a teenager having been prone to acne I was brought this as a present. I was a little disaponited with my gift but after trying it I was really pleased as my problemed skin cleared up quite quickly and I knew it was down to the dermalogica. Whether this was down to the face wash, toner or moisturiser (or the whole lot) I can not tell you.
The face wash is really easy to use and even removes most make up. Mine comes in a really handy up right bottle that has a pump at the top and makes it easy to dispense. The smell is quite nice, but a bit non descriptive really- not horrible and not nice. It lasts for ages- I buy 500ml bottles and have not bought one in a year or so. That's how long it lasts. It does refresh you face and wakes you up and I always feel really clean after using it- like it really is cleaning my pores deep down.
I think this product is best used as part of a wash, toner and moisturiser routine. The great thing is that this toner is ideal for belmish prone skin. Many products claim that they work for this type of skin, but in my experience they do not. This really does work for me. As I mentioned previously this helped clear up my acne prone skin. I no longer have acne and again whether this is due to the dermalogica or I have outgrown it I am not sure. However, if you are prone to blemishes of any sort then maybe this is the product for you.
Dermalogica is really expensive, but on the other hand you get more for your money when you buy the bigger bottles and they last so so long. So although it's an expense to begin you won't have to buy face products for ages and if they run out at different times you might not have to fork out for the whole lot at once.
You can also pick these up for better prices if you shop online. Don't buy the first lot you see. Have a look cos prices do vary and sometimes they have special offers on. Another thing to bear in mind is that dermalogica sell small travel version size kits with all of the suitable products for different skin types. If you are worried about spending the money and it not working for you, you could always buy one of these smaller kits- which will still last at least a month. This might give you the opportunity to test the products and find the right ones for you.
The other thing you can do- although I have never done this is go to a salon where they free of charge (usually) will test your skin and tell you what skin type you have and therefore which products are best for you. You could then either buy them there or shop around to find the best deal.

Good review, the idea of getting a travel size first is an excellent one.
