Details & care

What it is: A refreshing, hydrating cleanser that gently exfoliates while removing makeup, dirt and oil for a fresh, healthy-looking complexion.

Who it's for: Ideal for those with oily, congested or blemish-prone skin types.

What it does: This energizing cleanser is powered by naturally exfoliating jojoba beads and oil-minimizing extracts to thoroughly sweep away impurities and surface dirt without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. This lightly foaming cleanser contains BHA and tea tree oil and helps to remove buildup of dead skin cells for smoother-looking skin. Lilac stem cells help refine the appearance of pores, leaving the skin feeling exceptionally clean, soft and refreshed. Cleanse is the second step of The Lancer Method for oily and congested skin, Dr. Harold Lancer's signature regimen of daily exfoliation, cleansing and nourishing.

How to use: Apply a small amount to damp skin then gently massage over the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly.

  • 4.05 oz.
  • Item #939552

The BEST cleanser!!!
I use the entire Blemish Control Method and my breakouts are no longer existent! This cleanser is absolutely amazing! I personally feel like I'm getting the most out of the cleanser if I remove my makeup first and then use this on my bare skin. I have seen my zits disappear without feeling like my skin is dry and parched. I love that there is tea tree oil (a natural breakout remedy) along with the salicylic acid so you get a double dose of acne fighting ingredients. The gel-like formula and exfoliating beads make you feel like you're giving yourself a spa treatment everytime you use it! I will never use another cleanser because I have found the winner!

Disappointed
Very disappointed, especially for the high price. This product does not help oily skin and my face has only stared to break out more since using for about a month.

Best Cleanser
I love all of Dr Lancers skin care products. I use the polish, cleanser,daytime moisturizer and night time moisturizer and my skin is beautiful and flawless. Oprah recommended these products on her show and she was right. I am 56 years old but my skin looks much younger.

Beat out there!
I've tried everything for my hormonal acne... This system is the only thing I've found that works. You can literally feel this cleanser opening your pores - it leaves you feeling fresh and light with NO dryness! My skin is clear - I'll never go back.

Lancer Cleanser
The cleanser was refreshing. But not worth 55.00. Far better cleansers exist that do a far better job. The three step method did not work for me.

Excellent product. Removed every trace of oil and makeup. I have tried various high end face cleaners and I have to say that this gets everything off. You don’t need a pre cleanse with this product.

Expensive cleanser
It's a good cleanser--cleans without irritation, minimal scent. But it's really not worth the pricetag at all.
