Description
Sustainable refill packaging for soothing cleanser
Conscious skincare doesn’t stop at ingredient choice—it’s also about how a product is packaged and what remains after it’s used up. For those who choose a solid cleanser and consistently include it in their routine, a refill pack is the most logical step. Less plastic per milliliter, a lighter footprint per use, and a more mindful relationship with the products applied daily to the skin.
The Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser 500ml refill is a flat refill pouch made of flexible laminate, designed to refill the original 500ml pump bottle instead of discarding it. The same pH-balanced, non-foaming formula with the UltraCalming Complex, but in packaging that uses significantly fewer raw materials than a new HDPE bottle with pump. For those who know and trust the UltraCalming Cleanser, this is the most responsible way to stock up.
Advantages
- Significantly less plastic use than a new bottle with pump
- Lighter in weight, resulting in lower transport emissions per unit
- Compact flat packaging takes up less space during storage
- Exactly the same formula with the proven UltraCalming Complex
- Refills the existing 500ml pump bottle completely in one go
Active ingredients
UltraCalming Complex: Dermalogica’s signature complex remains the driving force behind the effect. Botanical extracts including lavender, cucumber, and raspberry soothe reactive skin and reduce visible sensitivity. Choosing a refill does not change this effect—only the way the product reaches you.
Glycerin: A humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the upper skin layers. Glycerin ensures the cleanser does not dry out during cleansing and leaves the skin feeling comfortable after rinsing.
Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract: Oat soothes sensitive skin and helps reduce itching. In combination with other botanical extracts, it supports the skin with chronic sensitivity and a tendency to rosacea.
Fumaria Officinalis Extract: A traditional ingredient that helps balance the skin and contributes to a more even complexion. Especially relevant for skin that quickly becomes unsettled by external stimuli.
Echinacea Purpurea Extract: Strengthens the skin barrier and makes the skin more resilient against environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations and air pollution. With long-term use through a regular refill routine, you consistently build up this strengthening effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the original pump bottle to use this refill?
Yes, this refill is designed to refill the existing 500ml pump bottle of the UltraCalming Cleanser. Without that bottle, transferring to another container is difficult and less hygienic. If you don’t have the pump bottle, first choose the 500ml jumbo size.
Is the refill pouch itself recyclable?
The refill pouch is made from a multi-layer laminate that unfortunately is not yet recyclable with regular plastic waste in most regions. Dermalogica has deliberately chosen a lightweight, compact packaging that reduces total weight and transport emissions. Squeeze the pouch as empty as possible and dispose of it with residual waste according to your local guidelines.
Does the effectiveness change if I switch to a refill?
No, the formula is one hundred percent identical to that in the pump bottle and the standard size. The UltraCalming Complex, pH balance, and all active botanical extracts remain unchanged. The choice for the refill is purely a sustainable choice, with no compromise on effectiveness.
